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

The rate is confirmed in writing before the van sets off in this 84% 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 SW18 jobs, with Wandsworth 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 Wandsworth Town, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop around Wandsworth Town (South Western) — and Wandsworth parking rules in play, with this being a short walk from Wandsworth Town (South Western).

For a 2-bed we quote two movers and either a bigger load or two runs in Wandsworth Town.
