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 Hoxton job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, London Borough of Hackney bay reality and any charges confirmed by message. No deposit, no doorstep re-quote.
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 Hoxton 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 Hoxton 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 Hoxton's terraced streets
Most Hoxton 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 N1 door is checked against London Borough of Hackney 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: Low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns.

About the place
Van jobs in Hoxton what they actually involve
People move within Hoxton constantly — hoxton square, geffrye museum gardens and a mix of estates and converted workshops. With former furniture workshops as lofts, la estate blocks and georgian terraces. the questions that matter are the floor number, the lift and where the van can stand near The Museum of the Home. Low-traffic filters on side streets, permit bays and loft stairs with tight turns.

Questions
Man with a van in Hoxton answered
A man with a van in Hoxton, N1, is £45 an hour including VAT with a two-hour minimum, 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. The rate is confirmed in writing before the van sets off.
Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your N1 collection address. 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.
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 Hoxton, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop.
Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Hackney and can usually get a van to Hoxton within a few hours for a single item or a small load. Weekend mornings and month-ends book out first, so message early if your date is fixed.
Constantly. Send the listing or the collection address with your N1 delivery address and we quote a fixed £75 for a straightforward local pickup. We can pay the seller on collection by prior arrangement, 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 a 2-bed we quote two movers and either a bigger load or two runs.
We check London Borough of Hackney restriction hours and bay types for both addresses before your slot and tell you if a suspension is worth the fee. Where nothing legal is close, we agree the carry distance with you in advance so the hourly estimate is honest.
Yes — every street in N1 and the rest of Hackney. Local homes are 96.4% flats and access here means kerbside loading in a permit bay, short carry to the van, both of which we plan around before quoting an hourly job.
