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 Streatham job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, London Borough of Lambeth 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 Streatham 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 Streatham 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 Streatham
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 SW16 door is checked against London Borough of Lambeth bay hours before the slot — a legal space is a shorter carry and a shorter bill.
- The Congestion Charge and ULEZ are quoted with the hourly rate and never appear as an extra at the end.
- Access here: A23 red route, side streets with permit bays and mansion blocks with small lifts.

Questions
Man with a van in Streatham answered
A man with a van in Streatham, SW16, is £45 an hour including VAT with a two-hour minimum on this side of Lambeth, with Lambeth parking rules in play, 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 on SW16 jobs, with 66% of homes here being flats. The rate is confirmed in writing before the van sets off on the streets near Streatham Common and the Rookery.
Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your SW16 collection address on the streets near Streatham Common and the Rookery. 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 for Streatham (SW16) addresses — and 66% of homes here being flats, with Lambeth parking rules in play.
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 Streatham, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop in this 66% flats neighbourhood — and 26,325 households on this patch, with 30% one-person households here.
Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Lambeth and can usually get a van to Streatham within a few hours for a single item or a small load on SW16 jobs — and this being a short walk from Streatham (Thameslink, Southern), with this being London Borough of Lambeth territory. Weekend mornings and month-ends book out first, so message early if your date is fixed on the Streatham rounds.
Constantly. Send the listing or the collection address with your SW16 delivery address and we quote a fixed £75 for a straightforward local pickup on the Streatham rounds, with 35% of SW16 homes being privately rented. We can pay the seller on collection by prior arrangement for Streatham (SW16) addresses, with 21% social-rented stock nearby, 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 streets near Streatham Common and the Rookery — and 30% one-person households here, with Streatham Common and the Rookery a few streets away. For a 2-bed we quote two movers and either a bigger load or two runs for Streatham (SW16) addresses.
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 across SW16 — and Lambeth parking rules in play, with this being a short walk from Streatham (Thameslink, Southern). Where nothing legal is close, we agree the carry distance with you in advance so the hourly estimate is honest on this side of Lambeth, with 44% owner-occupation locally.
Yes — every street in SW16 and the rest of Lambeth on this side of Lambeth. 1% 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 SW16, with 35% of SW16 homes being privately rented.
