How it works

Three steps and a rate that holds

  1. Send the load and both postcodes

    A photo, a list or a marketplace link is enough. We size the van and decide whether your Blackheath job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.

  2. Get the hourly rate in writing

    Rate, minimum hours, Royal Borough of Greenwich bay reality and any charges confirmed by message. No deposit, no doorstep re-quote.

  3. We load, drive and carry it in

    Kerbside loading in a permit bay, short carry to the van. Blankets, straps and a trolley come as standard, and the clock stops when the last item is inside.

Why us

Why Blackheath 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 Blackheath 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.

Kerbside loading on Blackheath's terraced streets

Most Blackheath jobs are decided by where the van can legally stand. We check the bay and the restriction hours before your slot, park as close as the signs allow, and keep the carry short so the clock is spent lifting rather than walking.

Hourly rates include VAT, fuel, blankets, straps, a trolley and the driver's lifting help. Charging starts when the crew arrives at your collection address and stops when the last item is inside — travel between the two addresses is inside the hourly rate, and Congestion Charge and ULEZ are quoted up front, never added afterwards. Two-hour minimum.

  • Parking outside your SE3 door is checked against Royal Borough of Greenwich bay hours before the slot — a legal space is a shorter carry and a shorter bill.
  • ULEZ is quoted with the hourly rate and never appears as an extra at the end.
  • Access here: Conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases.

About the place

Van jobs in Blackheath what they actually involve

Blackheath, SE3: the heath, the village and georgian terraces facing open grass. Expect georgian crescents such as the paragon, victorian villas and 1930s houses. Conservation-area restrictions, narrow village streets and listed staircases. A man with a van who knows these streets knows which bay is suspended and which is enforced from 8am.
