St Paul's Man and Van — EC4, City of London

A man with a van in St Paul's, EC4, is £45 an hour including VAT with a two-hour minimum, with 37% owner-occupation locally — and 4,914 households on this patch, or £65 an hour for two movers. A single item collection and delivery is £69 and a studio or 1-bed flat move starts at £220 around St Paul's (Central), with this being a short walk from St Paul's (Central). The rate is confirmed in writing before the van sets off on the streets near St Paul's Cathedral.

Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your EC4 collection address on the St Paul's rounds. If the job takes two hours and ten minutes you pay for two and a half — we bill in 30-minute blocks after the minimum rather than rounding a whole hour on EC4 jobs — and 48% of EC4 homes being privately rented, with 98% of homes here being flats.

Yes. Lifting is the job, not an extra. One mover handles boxes, mattresses, flat-pack and most single items with a trolley; for a wardrobe, a sofa bed or anything going above the first floor in St Paul's, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop on City of London bookings — and this being City of London Corporation territory, with 15% social-rented stock nearby.

Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across City of London and can usually get a van to St Paul's within a few hours for a single item or a small load on EC4 jobs — and this being City of London Corporation territory, with 48% of EC4 homes being privately rented. Weekend mornings and month-ends book out first, so message early if your date is fixed around St Paul's (Central).

Constantly.

We can pay the seller on collection by prior arrangement on City of London bookings, with City of London parking rules in play, and the item is blanket-wrapped for the drive.

A Luton with a tail lift is standard: roughly the contents of a studio or a comfortable 1-bed — a double bed, a three-seater sofa, a fridge freezer, a washing machine, a wardrobe and around twenty boxes for St Paul's (EC4) addresses — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, with 48% of EC4 homes being privately rented. For a 2-bed we quote two movers and either a bigger load or two runs on the streets near St Paul's Cathedral.
