The service, locally
Man with a van in Merton by the hour
Merton man and van hire in all 6 areas of the borough (SW19, SW20, CR4, SM4). Local stock is edwardian villas in wimbledon, 1930s semis in raynes park and morden, and estates around mitcham — which is why we ask for the floor and the stair type before quoting an hourly job. Access here is real: Championship-fortnight restrictions in SW19, hill access to Wimbledon Village, and driveways common further out.

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 Merton job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, London Borough of Merton 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 Merton 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 Merton 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 Merton
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 Merton what they actually involve
Merton is South London, served by SW19, SW20, CR4, SM4. Wimbledon's village and tennis, Mitcham's commons and the Wandle valley industry at Colliers Wood. For an hourly man and van booking the borough's own rules decide the bill more than distance does: Championship-fortnight restrictions in SW19, hill access to Wimbledon Village, and driveways common further out. London Borough of Merton sets the bay regime, and we check restriction hours before your slot.
Questions
Man with a van in Merton answered
From £45 an hour in Merton, with fixed prices for the common jobs: £69 a single item, £220 a studio or 1-bed, £340 a 2-bed flat. Merton is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies and it is quoted with the rate.
Same-day is often possible in Merton; 48 hours' notice guarantees the slot you want. Saturday mornings and the last weekend of the month go first.
All 6 of them, across SW19, SW20, CR4, SM4, plus neighbouring wandsworth, lambeth, croydon. 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. Edwardian villas in Wimbledon, 1930s semis in Raynes Park and Morden, and estates around Mitcham. 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. Merton is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies and it is quoted with the rate, and where a London Borough of Merton 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 Merton 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. Championship-fortnight restrictions in SW19, hill access to Wimbledon Village, and driveways common further out. 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 Merton.
