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.

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 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.
- Access here: Estate-managed streets, single-yellow evening restrictions and mansion blocks with porters and small lifts.

Estate-managed streets, single-yellow evening restrictions and mansion blocks with porters and small lifts. Aim the van at The Wallace Collection.

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 on this side of Westminster, with 3,555 households on this patch, 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 in this 88% flats neighbourhood, with 47% one-person households here. The rate is confirmed in writing before the van sets off around Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways).
Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your W1 collection address for Marylebone (W1) addresses. 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 the Marylebone rounds — and 12% of Marylebone homes being houses, with The Wallace Collection a few streets away.
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 across W1 — and 12% of Marylebone homes being houses, with The Wallace Collection a few streets away.
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 on this side of Westminster — and 12% of Marylebone homes being houses, with a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood. Weekend mornings and month-ends book out first, so message early if your date is fixed across W1.
Constantly. Send the listing or the collection address with your W1 delivery address and we quote a fixed £75 for a straightforward local pickup across W1, with The Wallace Collection a few streets away. We can pay the seller on collection by prior arrangement on the Marylebone rounds, with 32% owner-occupation locally, 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 Marylebone (W1) addresses — and 32% owner-occupation locally, with 88% of homes here being flats. For a 2-bed we quote two movers and either a bigger load or two runs in Marylebone.
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 across W1, with 32% owner-occupation locally — and 12% of Marylebone homes being houses. Where nothing legal is close, we agree the carry distance with you in advance so the hourly estimate is honest on the Marylebone rounds, with 11% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes — every street in W1, NW1 and the rest of Westminster on W1 jobs. 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 on this side of Westminster, with this being a short walk from Marylebone (Bakerloo, Chiltern Railways).
