The service, locally
Man with a van in Croydon by the hour
Man with a van across Croydon — 10 areas, CR0, CR2, CR5, CR7, CR8, SE19, SE25, SW16. Local stock is 1930s semis, victorian terraces in thornton heath, tower blocks and converted office buildings in the centre — which is why we ask for the floor and the stair type before quoting an hourly job. Access here is real: Tram-track loading limits in the centre, steep Purley hills and wide suburban roads with driveways elsewhere.

How it works
Three steps and a rate that holds
Send the load and both postcodes
A photo, a list or a marketplace link is enough. We size the van and decide whether your Croydon job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, London Borough of Croydon bay reality and any charges confirmed by message. No deposit, no doorstep re-quote.
We load, drive and carry it in
Van on the driveway, tail lift straight to the door. Blankets, straps and a trolley come as standard, and the clock stops when the last item is inside.
Why us
Why Croydon books our vans and books them again
The hourly rate is the whole rate
£45 for one mover, £65 for two, VAT and fuel inside it. Nothing is added for blankets, straps, the trolley or the drive between your two Croydon addresses.
Billed in half hours, not rounded up
After the two-hour minimum we charge in 30-minute blocks. A job that runs fifteen minutes over costs fifteen minutes, not a whole extra hour.
Drivers who lift, insured and DBS-checked
Every van carries goods-in-transit and public liability cover, and the driver is part of the crew rather than someone who watches you carry a sofa.
Driveway loading in Croydon
Off-street parking is the cheapest van job in London: the tail lift goes down at your door, appliances go on the trolley, and a two-hour minimum genuinely covers a one-bed's worth of furniture.

About the place
Van jobs in Croydon what they actually involve
Croydon is South London, served by CR0, CR2, CR5, CR7, CR8, SE19, SE25, SW16. A town in its own right — office towers and trams in the centre, Purley and Coulsdon's downland suburbs to the south. For an hourly man and van booking the borough's own rules decide the bill more than distance does: Tram-track loading limits in the centre, steep Purley hills and wide suburban roads with driveways elsewhere. London Borough of Croydon sets the bay regime, and we check restriction hours before your slot.
Questions
Man with a van in Croydon answered
From £45 an hour in Croydon, with fixed prices for the common jobs: £69 a single item, £220 a studio or 1-bed, £340 a 2-bed flat. Croydon is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies and it is quoted with the rate.
Message us the load and both postcodes and we hold a Croydon slot the same day. There is no deposit for a standard hourly booking.
All 10 of them, across CR0, CR2, CR5, CR7, CR8, SE19, SE25, SW16, plus neighbouring lambeth, merton, sutton. Every area has its own page with local access notes, and the hourly rate is the same wherever the van goes in the borough.
A Luton van with a tail lift takes roughly a studio or a modest 1-bed: bed, sofa, white goods, a wardrobe and twenty or so boxes. 1930s semis, Victorian terraces in Thornton Heath, tower blocks and converted office buildings in the centre. If your load is bigger, two movers and two runs is usually cheaper than a lorry.
Nothing appears after the job that was not agreed before it. Croydon is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies and it is quoted with the rate, and where a London Borough of Croydon suspension is genuinely needed we quote the council fee up front so you can decide.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover apply to every Croydon booking, and drivers are DBS-checked. Tell us about anything high-value — a piano, a glass table, artwork — when you book so cover and packing are confirmed in writing.
Yes, and it is worth telling us the floor number when you book. Tram-track loading limits in the centre, steep Purley hills and wide suburban roads with driveways elsewhere. Two movers on a third-floor walk-up almost always costs less than one mover taking twice as long.
Not on a van booking — waste needs a licensed carrier, which is a different service. Our clearance team handles that and can attend the same day, so a flat move and a junk run can be booked together in Croydon.
