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 Tower Hamlets job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, London Borough of Tower Hamlets bay reality and any charges confirmed by message. No deposit, no doorstep re-quote.
We load, drive and carry it in
Booked goods lift and loading bay, trolley all the way in. Blankets, straps and a trolley come as standard, and the clock stops when the last item is inside.
Why us
Why Tower Hamlets 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 Tower Hamlets 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.
Lift and loading-bay slots in Tower Hamlets blocks
Managed blocks want the goods lift booked and the bay reserved. Tell us the building at quote stage and we work to the slot, with floor protection and a trolley, so nothing is carried past a concierge who was not expecting us.

About the place
Van jobs in Tower Hamlets what they actually involve
Tower Hamlets is Central London, served by E1, E2, E3, E14. Canary Wharf towers, Docklands water and the East End's Brick Lane and Bethnal Green streets. For an hourly man and van booking the borough's own rules decide the bill more than distance does: Tower blocks with goods-lift booking, Canary Wharf estate permits, and CPZs across Bethnal Green and Bow. London Borough of Tower Hamlets sets the bay regime, and we check restriction hours before your slot.
Questions
Man with a van in Tower Hamlets answered
From £45 an hour in Tower Hamlets, with fixed prices for the common jobs: £69 a single item, £220 a studio or 1-bed, £340 a 2-bed flat. Part of Tower Hamlets sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, and both that and ULEZ are quoted with the rate.
Message us the load and both postcodes and we hold a Tower Hamlets slot the same day. There is no deposit for a standard hourly booking.
All 14 of them, across E1, E2, E3, E14, plus neighbouring hackney, newham, city of london. 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. High-rise waterfront apartments with concierge, Victorian terraces and dense post-war estates. 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. Part of Tower Hamlets sits inside the Congestion Charge zone, and both that and ULEZ are quoted with the rate, and where a London Borough of Tower Hamlets 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 Tower Hamlets 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. Tower blocks with goods-lift booking, Canary Wharf estate permits, and CPZs across Bethnal Green and Bow. 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 Tower Hamlets.
