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

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 SE21 door is checked against London Borough of Southwark 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: Dulwich Estate covenants, low-traffic filters on the village junction and gravel driveways.

Questions
Man with a van in Dulwich Village answered
A man with a van in Dulwich Village, SE21, is £45 an hour including VAT with a two-hour minimum for Dulwich Village (SE21) addresses, with 31% one-person households here — and 46% social-rented stock nearby, 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 the streets near Dulwich Picture Gallery, with Southwark parking rules in play. The rate is confirmed in writing before the van sets off around West Dulwich (Thameslink).
Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your SE21 collection address in this 79% flats neighbourhood. 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 this side of Southwark — and Southwark parking rules in play, with 3,046 households on this patch.
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 Dulwich Village, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop, with 36% owner-occupation locally — and Southwark parking rules in play.
Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Southwark and can usually get a van to Dulwich Village within a few hours for a single item or a small load for Dulwich Village (SE21) addresses, with 46% social-rented stock nearby. Weekend mornings and month-ends book out first, so message early if your date is fixed in Dulwich Village.
Constantly. Send the listing or the collection address with your SE21 delivery address and we quote a fixed £75 for a straightforward local pickup around West Dulwich (Thameslink), with Southwark parking rules in play. We can pay the seller on collection by prior arrangement across SE21, with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, 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 SE21 jobs — and this being a short walk from West Dulwich (Thameslink), with this being London Borough of Southwark territory. For a 2-bed we quote two movers and either a bigger load or two runs on the Dulwich Village rounds.
We check London Borough of Southwark restriction hours and bay types for both addresses before your slot and tell you if a suspension is worth the fee in Dulwich Village — and Southwark parking rules in play, with 79% of homes here being flats. Where nothing legal is close, we agree the carry distance with you in advance so the hourly estimate is honest for Dulwich Village (SE21) addresses, with this being London Borough of Southwark territory.
Yes — every street in SE21 and the rest of Southwark in this 79% flats neighbourhood. 7% 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 on this side of Southwark, with 36% owner-occupation locally — and Southwark parking rules in play.
