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 Marylebone job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, Westminster City Council bay reality and any charges confirmed by message. No deposit, no doorstep re-quote.
We load, drive and carry it in
Communal stairs and half-landings carried by hand. Blankets, straps and a trolley come as standard, and the clock stops when the last item is inside.
Why us
Why Marylebone 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 Marylebone 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.
Stairs and conversions in Marylebone
Half-landings, tight returns and a sofa that has to come through a door built in 1890. We ask for the floor number and the stair type when you book, so the hourly estimate reflects the carry instead of surprising you at the end of it.

Two-hour minimum.
- Parking outside your W1 door is checked against Westminster City Council 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.

Questions
Man with a van in Marylebone answered
A man with a van in Marylebone, W1, 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 W1 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 Marylebone, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop.
Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Westminster and can usually get a van to Marylebone 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 W1 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 Westminster City Council 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 W1, NW1 and the rest of Westminster. Local homes are 87.9% flats and access here means communal stairs and half-landings carried by hand, both of which we plan around before quoting an hourly job.
