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 Greenwich job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
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.
We load, drive and carry it in
Communal stairs and half-landings carried by hand. Blankets, straps and a trolley come as standard, and the clock stops when the last item is inside.
Why us
Why Greenwich 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 Greenwich 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.
Stairs and conversions in Greenwich
Half-landings, tight returns and a sofa that has to come through a door built in 1890. We ask for the floor number and the stair type when you book, so the hourly estimate reflects the carry instead of surprising you at the end of it.

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 SE10 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: Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access.

About the place
Van jobs in Greenwich what they actually involve
In this part of Greenwich, Greenwich is world heritage centre of the market, the cutty sark and the observatory on the hill.

Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access.

Questions
Man with a van in Greenwich answered
A man with a van in Greenwich, SE10, is £45 an hour including VAT with a two-hour minimum across SE10, with this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR), 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 Cutty Sark (DLR), with 31% of SE10 homes being privately rented. The rate is confirmed in writing before the van sets off on SE10 jobs.
Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your SE10 collection address for Greenwich (SE10) addresses. 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 the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark — and this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, with 31% of SE10 homes being privately rented.
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 Greenwich, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop across SE10 — and 73% of homes here being flats, with 27% of Greenwich homes being houses.
Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Greenwich and can usually get a van to Greenwich within a few hours for a single item or a small load around Cutty Sark (DLR) — and 32% one-person households here, with 73% of homes here being flats. Weekend mornings and month-ends book out first, so message early if your date is fixed across SE10.
Constantly. Send the listing or the collection address with your SE10 delivery address and we quote a fixed £75 for a straightforward local pickup for Greenwich (SE10) addresses, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood. We can pay the seller on collection by prior arrangement in Greenwich, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory, 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 on the Greenwich rounds — and The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark a few streets away, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood. For a 2-bed we quote two movers and either a bigger load or two runs on SE10 jobs.
We check Royal Borough of Greenwich restriction hours and bay types for both addresses before your slot and tell you if a suspension is worth the fee for Greenwich (SE10) addresses, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood. Where nothing legal is close, we agree the carry distance with you in advance so the hourly estimate is honest on the Greenwich rounds, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
Yes — every street in SE10 and the rest of Greenwich on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark. 9% flats and access here means communal stairs and half-landings carried by hand, both of which we plan around before quoting an hourly job across SE10, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
