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 Barkingside job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, London Borough of Redbridge 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 Barkingside 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 Barkingside 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 Barkingside
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.

Questions
Man with a van in Barkingside answered
A man with a van in Barkingside, IG6, 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 IG6 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 Barkingside, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop.
Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Redbridge and can usually get a van to Barkingside 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 IG6 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 Redbridge 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 IG6 and the rest of Redbridge. Local homes are 28.4% flats and access here means van on the driveway, tail lift straight to the door, both of which we plan around before quoting an hourly job.
