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 Havering job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, London Borough of Havering 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 Havering 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 Havering 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 Havering
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 Havering what they actually involve
Havering is East London, served by RM1, RM2, RM3, RM5, RM7, RM11, RM12, RM13, RM14. London's most suburban edge — Romford's market and nightlife, Hornchurch's semis and green belt beyond Upminster. For an hourly man and van booking the borough's own rules decide the bill more than distance does: Driveways and wide roads throughout; only Romford town centre needs bay suspensions. London Borough of Havering sets the bay regime, and we check restriction hours before your slot.
Questions
Man with a van in Havering answered
A man and van in Havering starts at £45 an hour and most local jobs land between two and four hours. Havering is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies and it is quoted with the rate, alongside any London Borough of Havering bay fee.
Message us the load and both postcodes and we hold a Havering slot the same day. There is no deposit for a standard hourly booking.
All 9 of them, across RM1, RM2, RM3, RM5, RM7, RM11, RM12, RM13, RM14, plus neighbouring barking and dagenham, redbridge. 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. Interwar and post-war semis, bungalows in Upminster and new flats around Romford station. 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. Havering is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies and it is quoted with the rate, and where a London Borough of Havering 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 Havering 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. Driveways and wide roads throughout; only Romford town centre needs bay suspensions. 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 Havering.
