Man with a Van in Oval, SE11

A man with a van in Oval, SE11, 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 SE11 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 Oval, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop.

Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Lambeth and can usually get a van to Oval 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 SE11 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 Lambeth 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 SE11 and the rest of Lambeth. Local homes are 76.9% flats and access here means communal stairs and half-landings carried by hand, both of which we plan around before quoting an hourly job.
