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 Hither Green job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, London Borough of Lewisham 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 Hither Green 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 Hither Green 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 Hither Green's terraced streets
Most Hither Green 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 SE13 door is checked against London Borough of Lewisham 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: Narrow terraced streets, level crossings and permit bays near the station.

Questions
Man with a van in Hither Green answered
A man with a van in Hither Green, SE13, is £45 an hour including VAT with a two-hour minimum on the streets near Manor House Gardens, with this being a short walk from Hither Green (Southeastern) — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, 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 across SE13, with 46% owner-occupation locally. The rate is confirmed in writing before the van sets off on the Hither Green rounds.
Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your SE13 collection address on SE13 jobs. 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 Hither Green rounds — and 20% social-rented stock nearby, with Lewisham 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 Hither Green, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop for Hither Green (SE13) addresses — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, with 30% one-person households here.
Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Lewisham and can usually get a van to Hither Green within a few hours for a single item or a small load on the Hither Green rounds — and 20% social-rented stock nearby, with Lewisham parking rules in play. Weekend mornings and month-ends book out first, so message early if your date is fixed on Lewisham bookings.
Constantly. Send the listing or the collection address with your SE13 delivery address and we quote a fixed £75 for a straightforward local pickup around Hither Green (Southeastern), with Manor House Gardens a few streets away. We can pay the seller on collection by prior arrangement across SE13, with 46% owner-occupation locally, 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 SE13 jobs — and this being a short walk from Hither Green (Southeastern), with Manor House Gardens a few streets away. For a 2-bed we quote two movers and either a bigger load or two runs on the Hither Green rounds.
We check London Borough of Lewisham restriction hours and bay types for both addresses before your slot and tell you if a suspension is worth the fee around Hither Green (Southeastern) — and 3,309 households on this patch, with this being a short walk from Hither Green (Southeastern). Where nothing legal is close, we agree the carry distance with you in advance so the hourly estimate is honest in Hither Green, with 46% owner-occupation locally.
Yes — every street in SE13, SE12 and the rest of Lewisham on Lewisham bookings. 3% 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 in this 64% flats neighbourhood — and 34% of SE13 homes being privately rented, with 30% one-person households here.
