Furniture Removals
Furniture Removals Manor House – Man and Van Manor House
At Man and Van Manor House, we provide careful, efficient furniture removals throughout Manor House and the surrounding North London areas. With years of hands-on experience moving everything from single items to full homes and offices, we combine local knowledge with a practical, no-nonsense approach that keeps your move straightforward and stress-free.
Professional Furniture Removals in Manor House
Our furniture removals service is designed for anyone who needs larger items moved safely, without damage or disruption. Whether you are moving across Manor House, into storage, or to another part of London or the UK, we tailor the job to suit your property, access and timings.
Every move is carried out by a trained, experienced team using the right equipment and protective materials. From dismantling beds and wardrobes to negotiating tight staircases in Manor House mansion blocks and conversions, we take care of the heavy lifting so you do not have to.
Local Expertise in Manor House
Working daily in and around Manor House means we understand the practical challenges of moving furniture in this part of London. We are used to:
- Narrow streets and controlled parking zones near Green Lanes and Seven Sisters Road
- Flats with no lifts, split-level conversions and basement entrances
- Co-ordinating with building management and concierge services
- Timing moves around busy commuting and school run periods
This local knowledge helps us plan vehicle sizes, parking, access routes and timings properly, reducing the risk of delays and last-minute issues on move day.
Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or renovating, we move complete households or selected furniture. We handle bulky items such as solid wood wardrobes, sofas, American-style fridges and dining sets with appropriate protection and handling.
Renters
If you are moving between rented properties in Manor House or nearby, we provide a flexible service for part-moves and full flat removals. We are used to working around check-in/check-out times, inventory inspections and shared access.
Landlords
Landlords use us to clear or install furniture between tenancies. We can remove old or damaged pieces, move furniture to and from storage, and deliver new items to furnished or part-furnished lets.
Businesses
Offices, shops, studios and clinics in Manor House rely on us for office furniture removals, including desks, filing cabinets, shelving, reception furniture and IT-related fixtures (excluding cabling). We plan out-of-hours or weekend moves to minimise downtime.
Students
Students moving to or from halls, HMOs or shared flats around Manor House benefit from our smaller, budget-friendly moves – ideal for beds, desks, drawers, chairs and a few boxes of belongings.
What Our Furniture Removals Service Includes
Items Typically Included
We routinely move:
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Office desks, chairs and filing cabinets
- TV units, bookcases and shelving units
- White goods: fridges, freezers, washing machines and dishwashers
- Outdoor furniture and small garden items
Items We Normally Exclude
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, we generally cannot carry:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint, solvents)
- Live animals or plants requiring specialist handling
- High-value items such as jewellery, cash or important documents
- Heavy industrial machinery or items beyond safe manual lifting limits
- Pianos and safes, unless pre-arranged with appropriate equipment
If you are unsure about a specific item, we will clarify at quotation stage and advise on safe options.
How Our Furniture Removals Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your details, including addresses, access information and an outline of the furniture to be moved. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume of items, distance, access and any extra services required.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a short video or onsite survey. This allows us to assess staircases, lifts, parking and any dismantling needed. A proper survey reduces surprises on the day and ensures we send the right team and vehicle.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own smaller items, or choose our packing service if required. For furniture, we provide protective materials such as quilted covers, blankets and shrink wrap. Where agreed, we dismantle beds, wardrobes and tables safely, keeping fixings together.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our team arrives on time, protects floors where needed, and loads your furniture systematically. Items are securely tied and padded in the vehicle to prevent shifting. We use the most suitable route based on traffic and vehicle restrictions, particularly on busy roads around Manor House.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. Where agreed in advance, we reassemble furniture we dismantled, position heavy pieces, and check you are happy before we leave. We remove our materials and leave the property tidy.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals
We believe in simple, transparent pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:
- Quantity and size of furniture
- Travel distance between properties
- Access difficulty (stairs only, long walks, no parking, etc.)
- Number of movers required
- Optional services such as packing, dismantling/reassembling and supply of materials
Small jobs may be priced on an hourly basis, while larger moves are usually a fixed price. All costs are confirmed in writing before you book so you know exactly what to expect.
Why Choose Professional Removals Instead of DIY
Hiring a professional removals team is not just about convenience; it is about safety, protection and reliability. With DIY or a casual man-with-van, you risk:
- Injury from lifting heavy or awkward furniture
- Damage to furniture, walls, doors and staircases
- Insufficient or no insurance if something goes wrong
- Unreliable timings and last-minute cancellations
We provide trained staff, correct handling techniques, vehicle loading skills and appropriate equipment. This greatly reduces the chance of accidents and costly damage, and helps your move run to plan.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Manor House operates to clear, professional standards to protect you and your belongings:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your furniture while it is being moved in our vehicles, subject to terms and conditions.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property.
- Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in safe lifting, loading and protective wrapping.
We are happy to explain our cover levels and procedures in detail before you book so you can make an informed decision.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped or covered as appropriate, and we take care moving through tight hallways and stairwells common in Manor House properties. We use reusable blankets and durable covers wherever possible to cut down on single-use waste, and we plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage.
When clearing unwanted furniture, we always aim to prioritise reuse and responsible disposal. Where possible, we will suggest donation, resale or recycling options instead of simple disposal.
Real-World Uses of Our Furniture Removals Service
Moving House
From studio flats to family homes, we handle full household furniture moves within Manor House and beyond. We can co-ordinate directly with your estate agent or building management to align with key release and check-in times.
Office Relocations
For businesses, we move desks, chairs, filing systems, meeting room furniture and more. We can schedule work outside business hours to minimise disruption and ensure essential items are set up first in the new space.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves arise unexpectedly – end of tenancy disputes, urgent relocations or last-minute deliveries. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day furniture removals in Manor House. It is always best to call to check availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Manor House cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much furniture you have, the distance between addresses and how easy the access is at each property. Smaller local jobs might be charged by the hour with a minimum time, while full flat or house moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Optional extras such as packing, dismantling and reassembly will also affect the price. Once we have your details and, if needed, completed a survey, we provide a clear written quotation so you know the full cost before you decide.
Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?
We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Manor House, especially for smaller furniture jobs or single items. Availability will depend on our existing bookings, vehicle sizes and staffing on the day. The sooner you contact us, the better the chance we can fit you in or find a suitable time that works. For urgent jobs, it is helpful if you can send photos or a list of items so we can quickly assess what is needed and confirm a realistic time and cost.
Are my items insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to protect your furniture while it is being moved in our vehicles, and public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. Insurance is subject to terms and conditions, including how items are packed and declared. We will explain the key points when quoting, and you are welcome to ask for full details in writing. For particularly valuable or delicate items, we may recommend additional precautions or specialist services to ensure they are fully protected.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes supplying a suitable vehicle, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading your furniture into the rooms you choose. We also provide basic protective equipment such as blankets and straps. At your request, we can add services such as dismantling and reassembling furniture, packing smaller items, supplying packing materials and taking selected pieces to storage or recycling. Everything that is included will be clearly listed in your written quotation so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small or low-risk jobs, our service is structured as a professional removals operation. We use trained staff, carry appropriate insurance, complete surveys for larger moves and plan access and parking in detail. We also provide written quotations, agreed timings and proper protective materials for your furniture. This approach reduces the chances of damage, delays or cancellations, and gives you a clear point of contact before, during and after your move.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For best availability, especially at busy times like month-end and weekends, we recommend booking as soon as you know your moving date – ideally two to three weeks in advance for full moves. However, we understand that dates can change, particularly with property completions and tenancy agreements, so we try to remain as flexible as possible. For smaller or local jobs in Manor House, we can often accommodate bookings with just a few days’ notice, and occasionally on the same day if our schedule allows.
Piano Removals
Piano Removals in Manor House by Man and Van Manor House
Moving a piano is never just another job. It is a heavy, delicate and often sentimental instrument that needs careful handling from experienced professionals. At Man and Van Manor House, we provide dedicated piano removals across Manor House and the surrounding North London areas, combining specialist equipment with years of hands-on moving experience.
Specialist Piano Removal Services in Manor House
Our team handles all types of pianos, from compact uprights in flats to full-size grands in family homes and performance spaces. We plan every move in detail, taking into account access, stairs, tight hallways and parking restrictions common in Manor House.
We routinely move:
- Upright pianos (including tall uprights and studio uprights)
- Baby grand pianos
- Grand pianos and larger instruments
- Digital pianos and keyboards with stands and accessories
- Organs and harmoniums (subject to access and condition)
All moves are carried out by trained, professional staff using piano skates, padded covers, ramps and securing straps to protect both the instrument and the property.
Local Piano Moving Expertise in Manor House
Working daily in and around Manor House, Finsbury Park, Harringay and nearby areas, we understand local roads, parking rules and building layouts. This local knowledge helps us plan realistic arrival times and choose the best vehicle access, reducing risk and disruption.
Whether you are moving a piano between floors in the same building, across Manor House, or to another part of London, we will assess the route carefully and advise you honestly on what is safe and practical.
Who Our Piano Removal Service Is For
Our piano removals in Manor House are suitable for:
- Homeowners – moving house, renovating, or passing on a family piano
- Renters – relocating between flats or HMOs with stair and lift restrictions
- Landlords – clearing or repositioning pianos between tenancies
- Businesses – schools, studios, rehearsal rooms, churches and venues
- Students – moving keyboards and smaller uprights to and from accommodation
We are used to working in tight London properties, including top-floor flats, basement flats and period houses with narrow staircases. Where access is not suitable for a safe move, we will explain this clearly and discuss options.
What Is Included in Our Piano Removals
Items and Services Included
- Careful assessment of access at collection and delivery addresses
- Movement of upright and grand pianos where access is safe
- Transport of digital pianos, keyboards and stands
- Use of protective blankets, wraps and straps
- Use of piano skates, dollies and ramps where suitable
- Loading, secure transport and unloading by a trained moving team
- Placement of the piano in your chosen room, subject to safe access
What Is Excluded
- Internal tuning or mechanical repairs to the piano
- Crane lifts, window removals or external hoists (we can recommend specialists if required)
- Moves where access is unsafe or structurally unsound
- Disposal of unwanted pianos (this may be possible by arrangement at additional cost)
- Long-term storage (short-term holding may be possible by prior agreement)
We will always explain clearly what we can and cannot do once we have seen photos or completed a survey.
Our Step-by-Step Piano Removal Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of the piano type, current location, destination and any access notes. Photos of staircases, landings, lifts and doorways are highly useful. Based on this information we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and outline any potential challenges.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For more complex moves, especially grand pianos or awkward access, we may arrange a virtual video survey or an onsite visit in Manor House. This lets us measure access points, check turning space, and confirm manpower and equipment requirements before moving day.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the day, our team protects your floors and key pinch points. We wrap the piano in thick protective blankets and covers, secure any loose parts and, for grands, may remove legs and pedals where appropriate. Everything is labelled and kept together to ensure smooth reassembly.
4. Loading & Transport
The piano is carefully moved using skates, dollies or shoulder straps depending on access. We load it into our equipped vehicle and secure it using tie-down straps and padding to prevent movement during transit. Our vehicles are routinely maintained and suitable for heavy, delicate loads.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new address we reverse the process, moving the piano to your chosen room wherever access is safe. For grands, we reattach legs and pedals and position the instrument as agreed. We recommend allowing the piano to settle before booking a tuner.
Transparent Piano Removal Pricing
We price piano removals in Manor House based on:
- Type and size of piano
- Distance between addresses
- Access difficulty (stairs, tight turns, no lift, parking)
- Number of staff and any additional equipment required
- Time of day and day of the week
We provide a clear, itemised quotation before any booking is confirmed, so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden fees for standard moves; any potential extras (such as waiting time caused by access issues) are always explained in advance.
Why Use Professional Piano Movers Instead of DIY
Attempting to move a piano yourself, or with a casual man-and-van, can result in damage to the instrument, property and people. Pianos are extremely heavy yet delicate. Internal components can be knocked out of alignment by sudden movements, and the weight can easily damage floors, banisters and walls.
With professional piano movers you benefit from:
- Trained teams who understand balance, lifting techniques and safe handling
- Specialist equipment designed specifically for pianos
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Proper planning of access and safe routes
- Reduced risk of personal injury or costly repairs
This is particularly important in Manor House where many properties have narrow Victorian layouts, shared stairwells and limited parking.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We treat every piano as if it were our own. For your peace of mind, Man and Van Manor House is:
- Fully insured with goods in transit insurance for your instrument
- Covered by public liability insurance for work in your property
- Staffed by trained moving teams experienced with heavy and fragile items
Our crews follow safe lifting practices, use appropriate PPE, and operate in line with UK health and safety expectations for removals. Documentation can be provided on request if required by venues, schools or managing agents.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We pay close attention to both protection and environmental impact. Pianos are wrapped in reusable, padded covers rather than excessive single-use plastic where possible. We aim to consolidate journeys around Manor House to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions, and our vehicles are maintained for efficiency and safety.
Inside your property we use floor protection on vulnerable surfaces and take care around walls, skirting and door frames. Our focus is always on moving the piano safely with minimal disturbance to your home or building.
Real-World Piano Removal Use Cases
Moving House in Manor House
If you are relocating within Manor House or further afield, we can coordinate the piano move alongside your main household removal or as a separate, specialist job. This ensures the instrument receives the focused attention it needs.
Office, School and Venue Relocations
We regularly assist schools, studios, churches and performance venues with piano moves for refurbishments, new installations or room changes. We can work around teaching schedules, rehearsals and events to keep disruption to a minimum.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes a piano needs to be moved at short notice – for example, end of tenancy, last-minute sale or venue changes. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day piano removals in Manor House. We will always be honest about what is achievable in the time available.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a piano removal in Manor House cost?
The cost depends mainly on the piano type, distance and access. Upright pianos on the ground floor with straightforward access are usually at the lower end of our pricing. Moves involving flights of stairs, grand pianos, awkward turns or limited parking will cost more due to extra staff and time. We provide a clear, fixed quotation once we have details and photos, so there are no surprises on the day. Contact us with your addresses, piano type and a few images for an accurate price.
Can you provide same-day or urgent piano removals?
Same-day or urgent piano moves in Manor House are sometimes possible, depending on our schedule and the complexity of the job. Straightforward ground-floor moves are easier to fit in at short notice than multi-storey or long-distance jobs. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as you can with full details, including photos of access. We will let you know immediately what we can realistically offer and provide a firm time window if we accept the booking.
Is my piano insured during the move?
Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our care, and we have public liability cover for work on your premises. This protection is designed for professional removals work and is an important reason to use a specialist rather than informal help. We are always careful to explain what is and is not covered, and can provide evidence of insurance on request, which is often required by schools, venues and managing agents.
What is included in your piano removal service?
Our service includes planning, protective wrapping, safe movement from room to vehicle, secure loading, transport and placement at the new address. We use specialist equipment and trained staff to manage stairs and tight spaces wherever it is safe to do so. For grand pianos, basic dismantling (such as removing legs) and reassembly are included. We do not provide tuning or mechanical repairs, but you are welcome to arrange a tuner once the piano has settled after the move.
How is a professional piano removal different from a standard man-and-van?
A standard man-and-van service usually focuses on general furniture and may not have the training, equipment or insurance specifically suited to pianos. Our piano removals in Manor House use dedicated covers, skates, ramps and securing systems, along with teams experienced in handling heavy, delicate instruments. We also assess access more thoroughly and plan for the extra risks involved. This reduces the chance of damage to the piano or property, and provides greater protection should anything unexpected happen.
How far in advance should I book my piano removal?
For best availability, especially on Fridays, weekends and at month-end, we recommend booking your piano removal one to two weeks in advance. This gives us time to arrange any surveys, confirm parking and allocate the right team. However, we understand that moves are not always planned so far ahead. If you are working to a tight deadline, contact us as soon as possible; we will always try to accommodate urgent requests where our schedule and safety standards allow.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Man and Van Manor House by phone or online with your moving details: addresses, dates, property size and any special items. We'll ask a few focused questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included. At this stage we can also discuss parking, access and timing requirements around Manor House.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, volume of items, any dismantling needed and any restrictions (stairs, lifts, parking). Accurate surveys mean we send the right size vehicle, the right number of professional movers and the correct materials on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer several options, from full packing to supply-only of materials:
- Full packing service – our team packs everything securely using quality boxes and protective materials.
- Fragile packing only – we take care of breakables such as glassware, pictures and mirrors.
- Self-pack – you pack your belongings; we provide boxes and materials on request.
We can also dismantle and prepare large furniture where required, labelling components ready for reassembly at your new home.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, introduces themselves and walks through the plan with you. We use blankets, straps, covers and floor protection where needed. Items are loaded in a logical order to prevent damage and to make unloading efficient. Your belongings are then transported in our purpose-equipped vehicles, driven by experienced local drivers familiar with Manor House and surrounding routes.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. We reassemble agreed furniture and place larger items where you want them, saving you heavy lifting later. Before leaving, we carry out a final check with you to ensure nothing has been missed and you are happy with the placement of key items.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Manor House
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote is based on:
- Volume of items and size of property
- Distance between addresses
- Level of service (e.g. full packing vs. transport only)
- Access conditions (stairs, long walks, limited parking)
- Any specialist items or extra labour required
We will always explain how your price is calculated and what is included. Parking charges, congestion/ULEZ fees and tolls will be clearly detailed if applicable. If your requirements change before moving day, we will update the quote and get your agreement first.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Attempting a DIY move or hiring a casual, unregulated van may seem cheaper at first, but can quickly lead to extra costs, damage and stress. A professional removals service offers:
- Trained staff who know how to lift, protect and stack items safely
- Proper equipment, trolleys and covers to prevent damage to your belongings and property
- Time-saving efficiency, especially with stairs, awkward furniture and tight parking in Manor House
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for peace of mind
- Accountability, clear terms and a structured process
With Man and Van Manor House, you get the flexibility of a man-and-van style service combined with the standards and protection of a dedicated removals company.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. Our service is fully supported by appropriate insurance and working practices:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while being moved and transported, within policy limits and conditions.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury caused by our work.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in handling fragile, bulky and heavy items correctly.
- Clear paperwork – confirmation of service, agreed inventory (where applicable) and terms provided in writing.
We are committed to working safely, respectfully and in line with recognised industry best practice at all times.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your belongings as if they were our own. Protective blankets, mattress covers and shrink-wrap are used where appropriate to prevent scuffs, dirt and moisture damage. Floors and banisters are protected where risk of marking is higher.
Where possible, we use reusable protective materials and aim to minimise waste. Cardboard boxes can often be reused or collected for recycling. We plan routes efficiently around Manor House and beyond to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions, making your move more environmentally responsible.
Real-World Use Cases in Manor House
Moving House Within Manor House
Many of our customers move between flats and houses within the Manor House area. We coordinate timing carefully, especially where access to both properties is limited or where lift bookings and parking suspensions are needed.
Office and Home-Office Relocations
We regularly help small businesses and home workers relocate within North London. This can include moving desks, filing cabinets, computers and stock, ensuring equipment is clearly labelled and safely transported.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves need to happen quickly due to changes in completion dates, tenancy deadlines or personal circumstances. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day removals in Manor House, with honest guidance on what is realistically achievable at short notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do house removals in Manor House cost?
The cost of a house removal in Manor House depends on the volume of items, property size, distance, access and the level of service you choose. Smaller flat moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while larger house moves are usually quoted at a fixed price after a survey. To give an accurate figure, we ask a few questions or arrange a virtual visit. All quotes are clear, with any potential extra charges (such as parking or congestion zones) explained in advance.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removals?
Yes, subject to availability we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Manor House and nearby areas. Short-notice moves work best when you have items already packed and access arranged. When you contact us, we’ll check our schedule, vehicle sizes and team availability, then advise honestly on what we can achieve safely and professionally. Even for urgent moves, we still follow a structured process to protect your belongings and avoid rushed, risky loading.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved and transported by our team, within the terms and limits of our policy. We also hold public liability cover for additional protection. We will explain the key points of cover when you book. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend documenting them separately or discussing them with your own insurer to make sure you have the level of cover you’re comfortable with.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard house removals service includes the vehicle, fuel, professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We also include basic protection such as blankets and straps. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and removal of unwanted items by prior agreement. Your written quote will clearly list what is and isn’t included so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While we offer the flexibility of a man-and-van style service, we operate as a structured, fully insured removals company. That means trained staff, proper equipment, planned routes, written quotes and clear terms. A basic man-and-van may not provide insurance, inventory checks or careful packing, which can increase the risk of damage or disputes. With Man and Van Manor House, you get the convenience of a smaller operator with the standards and reliability of a dedicated removals firm.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
We recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially for Fridays, weekends and month-end, which are typically busy in Manor House and across London. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal for larger house moves, though we can often fit in smaller moves with less notice. If your date is not yet fixed, we can provide a provisional quote and hold availability where possible, then confirm once your completion or tenancy date is agreed.

- Navigating tight roads and controlled parking zones
- Arranging parking suspensions or permits with Haringey and Hackney councils

- Items that exceed weight limits for safe manual handling
If you are unsure about an item, we will advise you honestly before booking.
Our Step-by-Step Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with your addresses, dates and a rough list of items. We will ask a few practical questions about access, parking and floors. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a quick virtual survey (video call or photos) or an onsite visit in Manor House. This helps us confirm van size, time required and any special equipment needed, so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide professional packing services at an additional cost. Either way, we offer guidance on labelling, fragile items and safe box weights. On moving day we protect vulnerable items with blankets and covers and can dismantle basic furniture if agreed in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads the van systematically, using straps and padding to keep everything secure. We work carefully in communal areas to avoid marks or damage. Your belongings are then transported directly to the delivery address via the most efficient route.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload into the rooms you choose and place items where you want them. We reassemble any agreed furniture and do a final walk-through with you before we leave to ensure you are happy with the placement and condition of your items.
Transparent Pricing for Man with Van in Manor House
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Most man with van jobs are charged either:
- By the hour (minimum booking period), or
- As a fixed price for clearly defined jobs
Your quote will set out:
- How many movers are included
- How long is allowed for loading, travel and unloading
- Any additional services (packing, materials, dismantling)
- Parking or congestion charge costs, if applicable
There are no hidden extras; if circumstances change (for example, extra items or significantly longer loading times), we discuss any price adjustment with you before proceeding.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a casual van or asking friends might seem cheaper, but it often leads to breakages, injuries and long, stressful days. With our professional man with van service you benefit from:
- Trained lifters who know how to protect backs, walls and belongings
- Correct equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Efficient loading so everything fits in fewer trips
- Insurance if something does go wrong
- Reliable timings – we turn up when we say we will
Most customers find that using a professional service costs less in time, damage and stress than a DIY move.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, so we back our service with robust protection:
- Goods in transit insurance for your items while they are being moved
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or injury
- Trained moving teams following safe lifting and handling practices
- Regularly maintained vehicles suitable for removals work
We operate with written terms and clear communication, so you know exactly what is covered and how any issues would be handled.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings and your property as if they were our own. That means careful planning of the carry route, protecting doors and floors where required, and wrapping delicate items properly. We also aim to work responsibly by:
- Reusing strong moving boxes where possible
- Recycling packing materials at the end of their life
- Routing journeys efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Maintaining our vehicles for better fuel efficiency and safety
Common Real-World Uses of Our Man with Van Service
Moving House or Flat
Many Manor House residents use our man with van option for one- or two-bedroom properties where a full-size removal truck is not required. It is flexible, efficient and less disruptive on busy residential streets.
Office and Small Business Relocations
From single desks and chairs to a small office move, we handle the packing of IT equipment, files and furniture, and can work outside normal hours to keep your business running.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Short-notice moves happen – sales complete quicker than expected, landlords change dates or you need to clear a room urgently. Where we have availability, we offer same-day or next-day man with van services in Manor House and the surrounding areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with van service in Manor House cost?
Costs depend mainly on how long the job takes, how many movers you need and the distance between addresses. Smaller local moves are often charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, while longer or more complex jobs may be priced as a fixed quote. Factors such as stairs, awkward access, heavy items and parking can affect the final price. Once we understand your move, we give a clear, written estimate so you know exactly what to budget for.
Can you do same-day or urgent man with van bookings?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent bookings in Manor House, especially on weekdays outside the busiest periods. Availability depends on our schedule, the size of your move and where you are going. The best option is to call us as soon as you know you need to move; we will check our diary, explain what is realistically possible, and give you a firm arrival window. For emergency clearances or last-minute keys, we do our best to respond quickly and efficiently.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Our man with van service includes goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicle. We also carry public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to third-party property or injury. As with any insurance, there are limits and exclusions, which we are happy to explain before you book. For very high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional cover or special handling arrangements.
What is included in your man with van service?
You get a suitable removal van, one or more professional movers, loading and unloading, protection with blankets and straps, and transport between your addresses. We place items in the rooms you choose and can assist with basic furniture dismantling and reassembly if agreed in advance. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, and storage arrangements. Parking costs, congestion charges or tolls are either included in your quote or clearly itemised so there are no surprises.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van or DIY hire?
We operate as a structured removals company rather than a casual side job. That means trained staff, proper equipment, insurance and planned timings. We survey your move, choose the right vehicle, protect your belongings and property, and provide written confirmation of your booking. With DIY hire or informal operators, you typically lack insurance, have to do all the lifting yourself and may face delays or no-shows. Our service is designed to be reliable, accountable and genuinely helpful.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend or month-end moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, as these slots go quickly in Manor House and across London. For midweek or smaller jobs, a few days’ notice is often enough, and we will always try to help at shorter notice if we can. Once you know your date, it is worth reserving your slot; if your plans change, let us know as early as possible so we can adjust your booking without issues.
Student Removals
Student Removals in Manor House by Man and Van Manor House
Moving as a student can be stressful, especially if you do not have a car, are on a tight budget, or are travelling between term-time accommodation and home. At Man and Van Manor House, we provide straightforward, reliable student removals in Manor House and the surrounding areas, tailored to the way students actually live and move.
Local Student Removals Experts in Manor House
We have been helping students move in and around Manor House for years, supporting those in halls, shared houses, studio flats and private rentals. We understand the local roads, parking restrictions, building layouts and landlord expectations, which means fewer delays and a smoother move.
Because we work regularly with students from local universities and colleges, we know how to keep things simple: clear communication, punctual arrival, careful handling of your belongings, and practical advice if you are moving for the first time.
Who Our Student Removals Service Is For
Although this page focuses on student removals, our service is suitable for a wide range of customers around Manor House:
- Homeowners – Downsizing or moving children to or from university.
- Renters – Moving between shared houses or private rentals.
- Landlords – Clearing or setting up student lets and HMOs.
- Businesses – Providing staff accommodation moves, internships or relocations.
- Students – Moving into halls, between student houses, or home for the holidays.
Whether it is a single room, a small flat, or a shared house move, we adapt the size of vehicle and crew so you pay only for what you need.
What Is Included in Our Student Removals Service
Our student removals in Manor House can be as simple or as comprehensive as you need. Typical items we move include:
- Beds, mattresses, desks and chairs
- Wardrobes, drawers and shelving units (flat-pack or assembled)
- Suitcases, boxes, bags and storage crates
- TVs, monitors, computers, consoles and small electronics
- Kitchen equipment, small appliances and utensils
- Books, coursework files, instruments and hobby equipment
- Bikes, sports gear and personal items
All items are loaded carefully, secured for transport and unloaded to the rooms you specify in your new property.
What We Cannot Move
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we normally cannot carry as part of our student removals service:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or substances
- Unprotected cash or high-value jewellery
- Live animals or pets
- Perishable or frozen food for long-distance moves
If you are unsure about a particular item, ask when you enquire. We can usually advise on a safe alternative or confirm whether we can carry it with specific packing.
Our Step-by-Step Student Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with your moving dates, addresses and a rough idea of what you have. We will ask a few practical questions about access, floors, lifts and timings. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most student removals, a quick virtual survey using photos or video call is enough. For larger moves or shared houses, we can arrange an onsite survey in Manor House to check access, parking and the volume of belongings. This helps us send the right vehicle and team size, keeping your costs fair and reducing the risk of surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from two options:
- Self-pack – You pack your own boxes; we can deliver packing materials in advance for a small charge.
- Professional packing – Our trained team packs your items on or before moving day, including fragile protection for electronics and breakables.
In both cases, we can disassemble and reassemble simple furniture such as bed frames and desks if agreed in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional crew arrives on time, introduces themselves and walks through the job with you. We protect key items and access points, then load your belongings in a logical, secure order. Everything is transported in a clean, well-maintained vehicle under our goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload to the rooms you designate, not just to the doorstep. We can reassemble agreed items, place furniture where you want it and remove any packing materials we have supplied. Before leaving, we check that you are happy with the placement and that nothing is left in the vehicle.
Transparent, Fair Pricing for Student Removals
We know students often work to a tight budget, so our pricing is clear and easy to understand. Costs are usually based on:
- Distance between properties
- Volume of belongings (or size of van required)
- Number of movers needed
- Whether packing and furniture assembly are included
- Access issues such as stairs-only, long carries or difficult parking
We provide a written quote before you book, with no hidden charges. If your situation is flexible, we may be able to suggest off-peak times that reduce the cost. For repeat moves between term-time and home, we can discuss simple, predictable pricing.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
It can be tempting to move using a borrowed car or a friend with a van. In our experience, the apparent savings often disappear once you add fuel, multiple trips, risk of damage and the stress of doing everything yourself.
With a professional student removals service in Manor House, you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to lift and carry safely
- Proper equipment: trolleys, straps, blankets and tools
- Fully insured vehicles and goods in transit cover
- Reduced risk of injury or damage to rented properties
- A single, efficient trip rather than several time-consuming journeys
For many students, especially those without local family support, using a removal company is simply more practical and often more cost-effective than it first appears.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As an established removals company in Manor House, we operate to clear professional standards to protect you and your belongings:
- Goods in transit insurance – Covers your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to terms.
- Public liability cover – Protects against accidental damage to third-party property during the move.
- Trained moving teams – Our staff are experienced in handling furniture, electronics and fragile items safely.
We are happy to explain our cover in more detail or provide evidence for landlords or accommodation offices if required.
Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability
We take care to protect both your belongings and the properties we work in. We use padded blankets, mattress covers and appropriate wrapping for delicate items, and we are careful with shared hallways, lifts and stairwells to avoid damage that could affect your deposit.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where possible, we:
- Reuse sturdy cartons and protective materials
- Offer return and re-use options for boxes after your move
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Encourage responsible disposal or donation of unwanted items
This practical approach keeps waste low and can also help reduce your overall moving costs.
Real-World Student Removals Use Cases
Moving Into or Out of Halls
We regularly help freshers and returning students move into halls in and around Manor House. Typically, this involves a single van and one or two movers, with a focus on quick loading and unloading to fit hall time slots and parking rules.
Shared House and Flat Moves
For students moving between shared houses or into private rentals, we can move individuals or small groups. Coordinating moves for several housemates at once often works out cheaper per person and reduces the disruption to neighbours.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
Sometimes moves come up unexpectedly after a change of plans, tenancy issues or course changes. Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or next-day urgent student removals in Manor House. Contact us as early as possible and we will do our best to fit you in.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do student removals in Manor House cost?
Costs vary depending on distance, how much you are moving, access at each property and whether you need packing or furniture assembly. A small student room move within Manor House will usually be at the lower end of our pricing, while larger shared-house moves cost more. Once you tell us what you have and where you are going, we will give you a clear, itemised quote with no hidden fees. You only pay for the vehicle size and time genuinely required for your move.
Can you do same-day or urgent student removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can often provide same-day or next-day student removals in Manor House, particularly outside peak weekends. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as you can with your details and we will check availability immediately. Even at short notice, we work to the same standards of care and professionalism, bringing the right equipment and insurance cover so your move is handled safely and efficiently.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also carry public liability cover for work at your properties. As with any insurance, certain conditions and exclusions apply, which we are happy to explain before you book. For particularly high-value individual items, we recommend discussing them with us in advance so we can confirm cover and advise on the best packing and handling approach.
What is included in your student removals service?
Our standard service includes loading your belongings from your property, transport between addresses, and unloading into the rooms you specify. We provide protective blankets and securing equipment as part of the service. Optional extras include packing materials, a full or part packing service, and disassembly or reassembly of simple furniture if agreed in advance. We do not normally handle hazardous materials, pets or illegal items, and we will always explain clearly what is and is not included in your written quote.
How is a professional removals service different from a casual man-and-van?
A professional removals company like ours offers structured processes, trained staff, and formal insurance cover, whereas casual man-and-van services may not. We survey your move, plan vehicle size and access, and bring the right equipment so your belongings are protected from damage. Our crews are experienced in handling furniture in tight stairwells and busy city streets, and we are accountable if something goes wrong. For most students, this added reliability and peace of mind is worth far more than the small difference in price.
How far in advance should I book my student move?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially around the start and end of term, we recommend booking your student removal in Manor House at least 2–3 weeks in advance. That said, we understand student plans can change, so we will always try to accommodate late bookings where our diary allows. If you know your likely date but not the exact details, contact us early and we can hold a provisional slot and firm up the specifics closer to the time.

- Period conversions and mansion blocks around Manor House
- New-build apartments and estates

Because we know the area well, we plan routes and loading points ahead of arrival where possible, helping us work efficiently even at very short notice.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if your completion date has changed unexpectedly, a chain has moved faster than planned, or you need to vacate your property urgently. We can move full households or key items the same day.
Renters
Perfect when a landlord needs you out sooner than expected, you have a late notice period, or you have found a new place and want to move immediately. We can work to tight end-of-tenancy deadlines.
Landlords
We support landlords needing same day removals for cleared properties, abandoned belongings, or urgent tenant changes. We handle items carefully and lawfully, with clear documentation of what is removed.
Businesses
For shops, offices and small businesses in Manor House, we provide rapid relocations, emergency stock moves, and safe transport of office furniture and equipment, minimising downtime.
Students
Whether you are moving into halls, changing shared houses, or heading home, our same day service fits around tight term dates and last‑minute plans at an affordable, clearly explained rate.
What We Can and Cannot Move on the Same Day
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs
- White goods – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers
- Boxes, bags and suitcases
- Home office equipment – desks, chairs, computers (suitably packed)
- Business items – filing cabinets, stock, shelving, light machinery
- Student belongings – books, clothes, small furniture, personal items
Items We Generally Exclude
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we usually cannot move:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or anything that breaches legislation
- Unsecured heavy machinery or industrial equipment
- Live animals (including pets and livestock)
- Valuables such as large sums of cash, jewellery or important documents – these are best kept with you
If you are unsure whether something can be moved on the day, we will advise clearly during your enquiry so there are no surprises.
Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
Contact us as early as you can on the day. We will ask a few focused questions about your current address, destination, access, volume of items and any time restrictions. Where possible we give an immediate fixed or capped quote based on the information you provide.
2. Fast Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves, we may carry out a rapid virtual survey via video call. This helps us assess access, parking, staircases and lift availability, and decide how many staff and vehicles are required. For smaller jobs, a detailed phone description is usually sufficient.
3. Packing & Preparation
On arrival, we walk through the property with you to confirm what is moving. We then protect furniture with blankets and covers, and secure fragile items. If requested in advance, we can provide a same day packing service for smaller moves, using appropriate boxes and packing materials.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads systematically, placing heavy items first and protecting everything with transit blankets and straps. Vehicles are loaded to prevent shifting in transit. We select routes to minimise delays, using our local knowledge of Manor House and wider London traffic.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload carefully and place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble basic furniture we have dismantled, space and time permitting, and will check with you before we leave that everything you expected has been delivered.
Transparent Same Day Removals Pricing
Same day work usually carries a premium compared with pre-booked moves, but we are clear and honest about costs from the outset. Our pricing typically takes into account:
- Volume of belongings and size of vehicle(s) required
- Number of movers needed and expected duration
- Travel distance from Manor House to your destination
- Access challenges – stairs, long carries or awkward parking
- Any additional services, such as packing or furniture assembly
We explain whether your move is best priced on a fixed-rate or hourly-rate basis and confirm what is included before work begins, so you can make an informed decision.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
When time is tight, trying to manage your own move can easily become stressful and risky. With Man and Van Manor House you benefit from:
- Trained moving teams who handle heavy and awkward items safely
- Proper equipment and protective materials to prevent damage
- Fully insured transport, giving you protection you won’t get with a borrowed van
- Efficient loading and route planning that saves time on the day
- Clear communication and documentation, rather than informal arrangements
A casual, unregulated man-and-van may not have the insurance, training or reliability needed for a time‑critical move. Using a professional removals company reduces the risk of breakages, delays and disputes.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to clear professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and conditions.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third‑party property or injury caused by our work.
- Trained moving teams – staff are briefed on lifting techniques, safe loading and customer care.
We are happy to explain our cover and limitations in plain language, so you know exactly how your belongings are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even in a hurry, we never cut corners on care. We use padded blankets, covers and straps to keep items stable and protected. Floors and banisters are treated with respect, and we plan carries to minimise risk of scuffs or damage.
Wherever possible, we use reusable protective materials instead of single‑use plastics and work to group jobs by area to reduce unnecessary mileage. When landlords or customers require disposals, we prioritise licensed recycling facilities rather than landfill.
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Moving House at Short Notice
Completion dates can change with little warning. We regularly help Manor House homeowners and renters who suddenly need to move out on the same day, coordinating quickly with solicitors, agents and landlords where needed.
Emergency Office Relocation
Leaks, building issues or lease complications sometimes mean businesses have to move fast. We can relocate essential desks, chairs, IT equipment and stock the same day, allowing you to keep trading with minimal disruption.
Urgent Student and Room Moves
Students often face last‑minute accommodation changes. We provide simple, cost‑conscious same day moves between halls, shared houses and storage, focusing on care and clear communication with both students and parents.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Manor House cost?
Costs depend on how much you are moving, the distance between properties, access conditions and the number of movers required. Same day work is usually priced slightly higher than pre‑booked moves because we have to reorganise schedules and allocate staff at short notice. We will ask a few key questions and, where possible, provide a fixed or capped quote so you know the maximum you will pay. There are no hidden extras: we explain travel time, labour and any additional services in advance.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate genuine same day requests in Manor House, but availability depends on our schedule and the size of your move. Smaller flat, room or student moves are usually easier to arrange at short notice than full house or office relocations. The earlier in the day you contact us, the more options we are likely to have. If we cannot complete everything the same day, we may still be able to move essentials and schedule remaining items for the next available slot.
Are my belongings insured during a same day removal?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy limits and standard exclusions, which we are happy to explain clearly. Our public liability insurance covers accidental damage to third‑party property or injury arising from our work. Insurance is not a substitute for proper packing, so we still recommend that fragile or high‑value items are packed carefully, and that you keep irreplaceable documents, keys and jewellery with you.
What exactly is included in your same day removals service?
Our service typically includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained removals team, loading, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We provide protective blankets and securing straps as standard. On request, and subject to time, we can also offer basic dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and packing assistance for smaller moves. The quote we give you will set out clearly what is and is not included, such as parking costs, congestion or clean air zone charges, and any extra labour that may be needed.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A professional removals service offers structured planning, trained staff, and fully insured vehicles, along with proper equipment and protective materials. A casual man-and-van may be fine for a single, low‑value item, but often lacks formal insurance, written terms, and the manpower to handle larger or more complex moves safely. With us, you have clear communication, documented quotes, and recourse if something goes wrong, which is particularly important when moving an entire home or business in one day.
How far in advance should I book, if I know I might need a same day move?
If you suspect you may need a same day or very short‑notice move, contact us as soon as possible, even if your plans are not yet confirmed. We can pencil in provisional arrangements and advise on what to prepare in advance, such as packing non‑essential items. While genuine emergencies do arise, early contact usually means more availability, better planning and potentially lower cost. For non‑urgent moves, booking at least one to two weeks ahead generally gives you the widest choice of dates and times.

Items Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement
For safety and insurance reasons, there are items we cannot carry, or only with prior agreement:

- Live animals or pets
- Valuables such as cash, jewellery or important documents (better carried by you)
- Industrial machinery or exceptionally heavy items beyond safe lifting limits

If you are unsure about any item, please mention it during your enquiry so we can advise or arrange a suitable alternative.
Our Step-by-Step Man and a Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the details of your move – addresses, dates, property type, list or photos of main items, and any access restrictions. Based on this, we provide a clear quotation outlining the vehicle size, number of movers and pricing structure, so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For straightforward small moves, a phone call and photos or video are often enough. For more complex jobs, we may suggest a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to check access, parking, stairways and lift availability, helping ensure we allocate the right resources and time on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or request our packing service for an additional fee. Where needed, we supply cartons, tape and wrapping materials in advance. On moving day, we protect key items with blankets and covers, and can disassemble simple furniture such as bed frames or tables if agreed beforehand.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained movers load your belongings carefully, using straps and blankets to secure items in the van. We work systematically from room to room, ensuring fragile and heavy items are positioned correctly for safe transit. Once loaded, we travel directly to your new address, choosing sensible routes based on traffic and access.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing furniture and larger items where you want them. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled as part of the agreed service. Before leaving, we invite you to walk around and check that everything has been delivered and placed correctly.
Transparent Pricing for Man and a Van in Manor House
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Depending on your needs, we offer:
- Hourly rates for smaller, flexible jobs
- Fixed prices for clearly defined moves
Our quotes clearly state what is included – van size, number of movers, estimated duration and any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly. Any potential extra charges, such as congestion or parking fees, are discussed up front so there are no surprises on the day.
Why Choose Professional Movers Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
While hiring a friend with a van or doing it yourself can appear cheaper, it often comes with hidden costs: time off work, risk of injury, damage to belongings and stress. With our professional man and a van service, you benefit from:
- Experienced, trained movers who know how to handle furniture safely
- Proper equipment and protective materials
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Reliable vehicles maintained for regular removals work
This combination reduces the risk of damage, speeds up the move and gives you confidence that your belongings are properly looked after.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a dedicated removals provider, we work to clear, professional standards. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our care
- Public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property
- Trained moving teams who are briefed on safe handling and customer care
We will explain the key aspects of cover relevant to your move and are happy to answer questions about how insurance applies to specific items or situations.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings and property with the same care we would expect in our own homes. Vans are equipped with padded blankets, straps and floor protection where needed. We take care around doorways, stairwells and communal areas, particularly in flats and managed buildings.
We also aim to work in a more sustainable way by:
- Reusing durable packing materials where appropriate
- Encouraging the use of reusable crates for repeat business moves
- Planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
Real-World Ways People Use Our Man and a Van Service
Moving House or Flat
Perfect for one- and two-bed flats or small houses, or when you are moving only part of a household. We can move everything in one go or over several trips, depending on distance and budget.
Office and Small Business Relocations
We regularly assist with small office moves, moving desks, chairs, IT equipment and files either within Manor House or to new premises elsewhere in London, often outside normal working hours to minimise downtime.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Sometimes you need to move quickly – a tenancy ending, a property becoming available at short notice or a sudden change of plan. When we have availability, we can offer same-day or next-day man and a van moves in Manor House, subject to schedule and access.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and a van in Manor House cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of van required, the number of movers, how long the job is likely to take and any additional services such as packing. For smaller local moves, we typically work on an hourly rate, with a minimum booking period. For clearer, well-defined moves, we can offer a fixed price. When you contact us, we’ll ask a few questions about your property, items and access so we can give a realistic, transparent quote with no hidden extras.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man and a van moves?
Yes, subject to availability. If you need a same-day or urgent move in Manor House, call us as early as possible with your details. When our schedule allows, we can often allocate a van and crew at short notice, especially for local moves. We’ll confirm the earliest realistic arrival time and expected duration, and provide a clear cost outline before you commit. For very time-sensitive moves, flexibility with start times and loading arrangements is helpful.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we transport, as well as public liability cover for work at your property. This insurance is designed to protect against unforeseen incidents while your belongings are in our care. There are reasonable conditions and exclusions, such as for certain high-value items or items not packed suitably. We are happy to explain how the cover works in practice and advise if any particularly valuable possessions might benefit from additional specialist insurance.
What is included in your man and a van service?
Our standard service includes a suitable van, a driver-mover, and loading, transport and unloading of your belongings between the agreed addresses. We supply protective blankets and securing straps as standard. At your request, we can add extra movers, packing services, furniture assembly or disassembly, and delivery of packing materials. Parking, congestion and toll charges are either built into the quote or clearly itemised. We always outline exactly what is included in writing before you confirm your booking.
What is the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may simply offer a vehicle and driver with limited support, equipment or protection if things go wrong. Our service is a professional removals operation: trained staff, purpose-equipped vehicles, insurance cover, planning and clear communication. We assess access, allocate the right resources and use protective materials to reduce risk. This approach generally results in safer handling, fewer breakages and a more predictable moving day, which many customers find well worth the difference in cost.
How far in advance should I book a man and a van in Manor House?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at weekends and month-end, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance. However, we understand that moves do not always come with much notice. If your dates are flexible, we can often fit you in at shorter notice. For urgent or same-day requests, call us directly so we can check real-time availability. Once you are happy with the quote, we confirm your booking and hold the slot for your move.
Flat Removals
Flat Removals in Manor House by Man and Van Manor House
Moving in or out of a flat in Manor House comes with its own challenges: stairs, lifts, tight corridors, restricted parking and neighbour considerations. At Man and Van Manor House, we provide a dedicated flat removals service designed specifically for these realities, delivered by a professional, local team that moves people in Manor House every day.
Specialist Flat Removals in Manor House
Our flat removals service in Manor House is a complete, door-to-door solution. We handle everything from careful packing and protection, through safe loading and transport, to unloading and placing items in the correct rooms at your new home.
We are used to managing moves in mansion blocks, purpose-built flats, new-build apartments and converted houses across Manor House and the surrounding areas. We plan around lift access, loading bays, parking restrictions and time windows to ensure your move is completed smoothly and on schedule.
Who Our Flat Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling a flat or buying your first home, we provide a structured, reliable service that coordinates with estate agents and completion dates. We can work to chain-dependent timings and key release times.
Renters
Whether you are moving between rented flats or relocating into Manor House, we help you meet check-out deadlines, protect the property from damage and avoid issues with your deposit by using floor covers and wall protection where needed.
Landlords
We assist landlords with flat clearances, part-moves and furniture swaps between properties. We can remove unwanted items, relocate essential furnishings and prepare a flat for new tenants with minimum disruption to neighbours.
Businesses
Many small businesses operate from flats and apartments. We handle office moves and partial relocations from residential buildings, ensuring computers, documents and equipment are securely packed and clearly labelled for fast set-up at the new premises.
Students
Students moving into or out of Manor House halls or shared flats benefit from our smaller, cost-effective moves. We can move a single room’s belongings, including desks, books, clothes and a few pieces of furniture, on flexible dates.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, tumble dryers (where access allows)
- Electronics – TVs, PCs, sound systems, monitors and gaming equipment
- Personal belongings – clothes, books, ornaments, kitchenware, bedding
- Home office equipment – printers, filing cabinets, office chairs and desks
- Boxed items – archive boxes, storage boxes, suitcases and plastic tubs
Items Usually Excluded or Requiring Special Arrangements
- Hazardous materials such as gas bottles, solvents, paint, fuel or chemicals
- Live animals (including fish tanks with water and fish in situ)
- Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
- Very high-value items (e.g. fine art, jewellery) without prior agreement
- Heavy industrial machinery not suitable for domestic buildings
If you are unsure whether an item can be moved, we will confirm during the survey stage and advise on safe alternatives.
Our Step-by-Step Flat Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your moving date, current address, destination and an overview of what needs moving. We respond promptly with guidance and, where possible, a provisional estimate. For straightforward small moves, we can often confirm a clear, fixed price at this stage.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex flat removals, we carry out a short video survey or an in-person visit. This allows us to assess access (stairs, lifts, corridors), parking arrangements, inventory, any dismantling required and any fragile or bulky items. This information is used to provide an accurate, no-obligation quote and plan the correct vehicle and team size.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer both full packing and part packing services. If you choose packing, our trained team use quality boxes, wrapping and protective materials to secure your belongings. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply boxes and tape in advance and provide packing tips to ensure your items are safe to transport.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, we protect floors, doorways and bannisters where needed, then carefully load your belongings, starting with larger furniture and finishing with lighter boxes. All items are secured in the vehicle using straps and blankets. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while in our care, and we drive directly to your new address unless otherwise agreed.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new property, we unload systematically, placing items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble furniture we dismantled for the move and position larger pieces where you want them. Before we leave, we perform a final check with you to make sure nothing has been overlooked and you are satisfied with the placement.
Transparent Pricing for Flat Removals in Manor House
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our charges are based on:
- Volume of goods and size of the move
- Access conditions at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
- Travel distance between addresses
- Services required – such as packing, dismantling, evening or weekend moves
We provide written quotes so you know exactly what is included. Where hourly rates are appropriate for small or flexible moves, we will explain how they work and what you can do to keep time – and costs – down. There is no obligation, and we are happy to talk through options based on your budget.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Carrying out a flat removal yourself or relying on a casual man-with-a-van can appear cheaper, but often leads to hidden costs and risks. Professional movers bring the right equipment, experience with tight stairwells and lifts, and proven lifting techniques to avoid injuries and damage.
Our professional team is trained in handling awkward items, protecting both properties and loading vehicles safely. We are also fully insured, meaning your belongings are protected if the unexpected happens. With a structured plan and a reliable team, your move is completed faster, with far less stress, and without relying on friends or family taking time off work.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Manor House operates to clear professional standards to protect you and your belongings:
- Goods in transit insurance – your items are covered while being moved and transported by us, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or injury caused by our work.
- Trained moving teams – all staff receive training in safe lifting, packing, loading and customer care.
We treat every move as if we were moving our own home, maintaining clear communication and a calm, organised approach throughout.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to protect both your belongings and the buildings we work in. This includes using furniture blankets, mattress covers, floor runners and corner protectors as required. We pay particular attention to shared areas in Manor House blocks to keep hallways and lifts clean and undamaged.
Where possible, we reuse sturdy packing materials and encourage customers to return boxes for future use. We also plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel usage. Unwanted but usable furniture can often be redirected to local charities or recycling centres rather than going to landfill, and we are happy to advise on these options.
Real-World Flat Removal Scenarios
Moving House
Whether you are upsizing to a house or downsizing to a smaller flat, we coordinate your move so that belongings leave one property and arrive at the next within your required time window. We often work to tight completion schedules and are used to managing last-minute time changes where possible.
Office or Business Relocations
For small businesses based in flats and apartments, we can move office furniture, stock and equipment efficiently, often outside normal working hours to minimise downtime. Sensitive documents and electronics are packed securely and clearly labelled for straightforward set-up at the new site.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves arise unexpectedly – end of tenancy disputes, relationship changes or sudden job relocations. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day flat removals in Manor House. We focus on the essentials, ensuring your key furniture and belongings are safely moved with minimal delay.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a flat removal in Manor House cost?
The cost depends mainly on the volume of belongings, access at each property and the distance between addresses. Smaller studio or one-bedroom flat moves might be charged on an hourly rate, while larger moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Additional services such as packing, dismantling furniture and weekend moves can affect the total. We always provide a clear written quote before you book, so you know exactly what you are paying for and can adjust the service to suit your budget.
Can you handle same-day or urgent flat removals?
Yes, subject to availability we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves within Manor House and nearby areas. The more information you can give us when you call – such as size of the flat, key items and access restrictions – the easier it is for us to organise the right vehicle and team quickly. While urgent moves may have fewer time-slot options, we will always be honest about what is realistically achievable and focus on getting your essential belongings moved safely and efficiently.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles and under our care. We also hold public liability cover for additional protection. During the survey or booking process, we will explain the key terms, including any limits, exclusions and how high-value items should be declared. Our approach is to minimise the risk of damage through careful packing and handling, but you have the reassurance of formal insurance cover should the unexpected occur.
What is included in your flat removals service?
Our standard service includes loading all agreed items from your flat, securing them in our vehicle, transporting them to your new address and unloading into the rooms you choose. We protect furniture with blankets and covers, and we can dismantle and reassemble basic items such as bed frames and tables if agreed in advance. Optional extras include full or partial packing, provision of boxes and materials and removal of unwanted items. Everything that is included will be clearly listed in your personalised quote.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While some man-and-van operators offer simple transport, our service is a structured, professional removals operation. We provide trained staff, proper equipment, written quotes and full insurance cover as standard. We plan access, protect your property, and manage the move from start to finish rather than just providing a vehicle and driver. This means fewer risks, less stress and a more predictable moving day, which is especially important in flats where stairs, lifts and neighbours must all be considered.
How far in advance should I book my flat removal?
Ideally, you should book as soon as your moving date is reasonably certain, particularly if you are moving at the end of the month or on a weekend, when demand is highest. Many customers book two to four weeks ahead, which gives time to arrange surveys, packing and parking suspensions if necessary. However, we understand that dates can change, especially with property chains, and we will always do our best to accommodate alterations or short-notice bookings where our schedule allows.

What Our Man and Van Service Includes
Our man and van service is designed for moves that are too large for a car, but do not require a full-scale removal lorry. You get a suitably sized van and a trained, uniformed mover as standard, with the option to add extra movers when needed.

- Student moves to and from halls, flat-shares and storage
- Small office and business relocations

Local Expertise in Manor House
Working in Manor House every day means we understand the local area, from tight one-way streets and controlled parking zones to high-rise blocks and older terraces. We plan your move with local knowledge in mind, helping to avoid delays and access issues.
We regularly support customers moving to and from:
- Flats around Green Lanes and Seven Sisters Road
- Converted houses and maisonettes near Manor House station

Who Our Man and Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal for smaller house moves, downsizing, or moving items into storage. We can handle everything from boxed belongings and furniture to garden items and white goods, with careful loading and unloading at each end.
Renters
Whether you’re moving between rented flats or out of a house-share, our flexible hourly man and van service keeps costs fair and transparent. We’re used to dealing with stairwells, narrow hallways and limited parking.
Landlords
We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, furniture moves between properties, and the delivery of new beds, sofas and appliances. We work neatly and respectfully in communal areas.
Businesses
For small office relocations and light commercial moves, our man and van service is a practical choice. We can move desks, chairs, IT equipment, stock and archive boxes with minimal disruption to your trading hours.
Students
We regularly help students moving into or out of Manor House. From a few suitcases and boxes to a roomful of belongings, we offer a cost-effective service and can combine pick-ups from multiple addresses if required.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Domestic furniture: beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, drawers
- White goods: fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers
- Personal effects: boxes, suitcases, bags, books, clothing
- Office items: desks, chairs, filing cabinets, boxed IT equipment

Items We Cannot Move

- Unsecured loose liquids that may leak in transit
- Live animals (including pets) – specialist pet transport is recommended

If you are unsure about any item, please ask during your enquiry and we will advise.
Our Step-by-Step Man and Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the details of your move: addresses, access information, dates, and a brief list of items. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually based on an hourly rate with any fixed charges explained up front.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything more than a small load, we recommend a short survey. This can be done by video call, photos or an onsite visit. The survey allows us to allocate the right size van, number of movers, and time, reducing the risk of overruns on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
Most man and van customers choose to pack their own items. If required, we can supply packing materials or provide a packing service at an additional cost. On moving day, our team protects larger items with blankets and securing straps before they go onto the van.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads the van strategically to protect your belongings in transit. We use professional equipment such as trolleys, dollies and ramps where needed. Your items are then transported directly to your new address, unless we have arranged multiple drops or a storage stop.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload items into the rooms you specify, not just to the door. We can assemble and position large items we have dismantled by prior agreement. Before leaving, we check that everything listed has been delivered and placed where you want it.
Transparent Pricing – How Our Man and Van Rates Work
We keep pricing straightforward so you know exactly what you are paying for. Most man and van jobs in Manor House are charged on an hourly basis, with a minimum booking period depending on the size of van and crew.
Pricing typically depends on:
- Number of movers required
- Size of van needed
- Travel distance and any additional drops
- Stairs, lifts and access challenges
- Optional extras such as packing or furniture assembly
We provide a written quote before you book so there are no surprises. Parking charges, congestion or clean air zone fees are clearly set out where applicable.
Why Choose Professional Man and Van Over DIY
Hiring a professional man and van team offers clear advantages over borrowing a van or relying on casual help. Our movers are trained in safe lifting and loading techniques, which reduces the risk of damage to your belongings and avoids injury.
We bring the correct equipment, insurance, and experience of dealing with stairwells, tight doorways and heavy items. This means your move is usually completed faster, with less stress, and if anything does go wrong, you are protected by our insurance cover.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Every move carried out by Man and Van Manor House is fully covered by appropriate insurance:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are in our vehicle
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property in the unlikely event of an accident
Our teams are trained, professional and experienced. Vehicles are clean, regularly maintained and equipped with blankets, straps and tools. We follow clear procedures for handling fragile and high-value items, with extra care taken for items such as TVs, mirrors and glass furniture.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item we move as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped or covered where appropriate, and boxes are stacked carefully to avoid crushing. We encourage customers to use strong, reusable crates or sturdy boxes and can provide suitable materials on request.
Where possible, we adopt a sustainable approach by:
- Reusing packing materials and blankets rather than disposables
- Planning efficient routes to minimise fuel use
- Supporting donations of unwanted furniture and items to local charities

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and van service in Manor House cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of van, number of movers and total time required. Most local moves are charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. Factors such as stairs, distance between addresses, and any dismantling or assembly work can affect the overall time. We will ask a few questions or carry out a short survey, then provide a clear written quote before you book, so you know exactly what to expect and can budget confidently.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man and van bookings?
Yes, wherever possible we offer same-day or short-notice man and van support in Manor House. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of move you require. Smaller jobs are usually easier to fit in at short notice. If you need an urgent move, call or email us with your details and ideal timing. We will check our diary, explain what is realistic, and if we cannot help directly we will always be honest and suggest practical alternatives.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle, and by our public liability cover for any accidental damage to property. Insurance applies when our team is handling and transporting your belongings, provided items are packed safely and any special requirements are discussed beforehand. We will talk you through key terms in plain language at quotation stage so you understand what is and is not covered, and can arrange additional cover if needed for particularly high-value items.
What is included in your man and van removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable van, a trained mover as your driver, protective blankets, straps and basic tools, plus loading, transport and unloading. We place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle or reassemble straightforward furniture if agreed in advance. Optional extras include packing materials, full or partial packing, and additional movers for larger or more complex jobs. Parking charges or congestion fees are not built into the base rate and will be clearly shown on your quote where they apply.
What is the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?
Many casual man-and-van operators simply provide a driver and a vehicle, with limited equipment and no formal insurance. Our service is run as a professional removals operation: trained staff, proper goods in transit and public liability cover, planned loading, and clear paperwork. We focus on protecting your belongings and your property, communicating clearly from enquiry through to completion. While our rates may be higher than an informal service, most customers find the peace of mind, efficiency and reduced risk of damage offer better value overall.
How far in advance should I book?
For moves in Manor House, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, especially for weekends and month-end dates which are often busiest. However, we understand that not all moves are planned that far in advance, so we always keep some flexibility for shorter-notice jobs. The earlier you contact us, the more choice you will have on timeslots and the easier it is to plan parking and access. Even if your dates are not fixed yet, it is worth getting in touch to discuss options.

Working daily in and around Manor House means we understand local streets, parking restrictions and building access issues. We plan routes to avoid congestion where possible and allow realistic loading times for flats with lifts or stairs.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the details of your move: current and new address, property type, access, dates and an outline of what needs moving. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation and confirm what is included, so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything beyond a very small move, we recommend a quick survey. This can be done via video call or, where needed, an onsite visit in Manor House. We check access, parking, volume of goods, and any awkward items. This allows us to allocate the right size removal van, the correct number of movers and the appropriate equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes or use our packing service. If you choose our packing option, our trained team will carefully pack and label your belongings, using quality materials. Even if you pack yourself, we can supply boxes, tape and protective wrap. We ask that all boxes are properly sealed and labelled before our arrival, unless we are handling the packing.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our team arrives on time, protects floors and banisters where required, and starts loading. Furniture is wrapped or covered, and items are stacked securely in the removal van to prevent movement in transit. Our drivers use sensible routes and drive carefully to protect your goods and minimise delays.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload systematically, placing items into the rooms you specify. Furniture can be reassembled where agreed in advance. We work efficiently but without rushing, ensuring your belongings are placed safely and walkways are kept clear. Before we leave, we check that everything listed has been delivered.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Van Hire in Manor House
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Typical pricing structures include:
- Fixed-price quotes for clearly defined moves
- Hourly rates for smaller, flexible jobs
Your quote will outline the number of movers, size of removal van, estimated time and what is included (for example, packing materials or furniture dismantling). There are no hidden charges: any potential extras, such as congestion charges, extended waiting time or additional drops, are explained in advance wherever possible.
Why Use a Professional Removal Van Service Instead of DIY?
Hiring a removal van yourself and doing the move with friends can seem cheaper but often leads to problems: damage from poor packing, injuries from heavy lifting, and underestimated time. Our professional team is trained in safe handling, efficient loading and route planning.
With Man and Van Manor House you get:
- Experienced movers who understand how to protect furniture and property
- Appropriate equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets and tools
- Planned timings, avoiding last-minute rush and extra van hire charges
- Fully insured cover, which DIY moves usually lack
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to clear, responsible standards to protect you and your belongings.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our removal van, subject to terms and limits we will explain before booking.
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
- Trained moving teams – staff are briefed on lifting techniques, vehicle loading, and handling of fragile or awkward items.
We are committed to clear communication and will always explain our insurance and responsibilities so you understand what is and is not covered.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. This means using blankets, covers and wrapping on vulnerable items; securing loads properly; and taking time where it matters. We also try to reduce waste and environmental impact by:
- Using reusable moving blankets and protective covers
- Offering reusable crates for some moves, where practical
- Encouraging customers to reuse or return boxes in good condition
- Planning efficient routes to limit unnecessary mileage
Real-World Use Cases for Our Removal Van Service
Moving Home in Manor House
From top-floor flats to terraced houses, we regularly handle local home moves. We manage parking suspensions where needed, protect communal areas and coordinate moves around lift access and time restrictions.
Office and Business Relocations
For businesses, we focus on minimising downtime. We can move outside standard office hours and work to a clear plan so staff can get back to work quickly. IT and office equipment are handled carefully and kept organised between sites.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Occasionally, customers face last-minute changes – a completion date brought forward, a tenancy ending unexpectedly, or an urgent clearance. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or very short-notice removal van services in Manor House. The more detail you can give us when calling, the easier it is for us to help.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van service in Manor House cost?
Costs depend on the volume of items, access at both properties, distance travelled and whether you need packing or furniture assembly. Smaller moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full home or office moves are usually quoted at a fixed price. When you contact us, we will ask a few questions or arrange a brief survey to give you an accurate, written quote with no obligation. This way, you know exactly what the move will cost before you commit.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Manor House, depending on existing bookings and staff availability. Urgent moves work best when you can be flexible on timing and prepared with items boxed and ready to go. If you need an emergency move, call us as early in the day as possible, provide clear details of what needs moving and the addresses, and we will do our best to allocate a suitable van and team.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our care, plus public liability cover for peace of mind. As with any insurance, there are terms, conditions and value limits, which we explain clearly before you book. We may ask you to declare high-value or particularly fragile items in advance so we can confirm the appropriate arrangements. We also recommend you check your own home or business insurance for any additional cover you might already have.
What exactly is included in your removal van service?
Our standard service includes an appropriately sized removal van, fuel, a professional moving team, protective blankets and basic equipment for safe loading and unloading. We place items into the rooms you specify at the destination. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and additional stops if you need to collect or drop items elsewhere. All inclusions and any agreed extras are listed clearly in your written quote so there are no surprises.
How is your removal service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van often provides only a vehicle and one person, with limited planning and no formal insurance. Our service is a structured, professional removal operation: planned timings, appropriate staffing, protective materials and fully insured cover. We carry out surveys where needed, advise on packing, and use trained teams experienced with stairs, fragile items and heavy furniture. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes, giving you a more reliable and stress-free move.
How far in advance should I book a removal van in Manor House?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially for weekends or month-end dates, which are busiest. However, we understand that moves are not always confirmed so early. If your dates are still flexible, we can pencil you in and firm up details once you know more. For short-notice or urgent moves, contact us as soon as possible and we will check availability and discuss realistic options.
Removal Services
Removal Services in Manor House by Man and Van Manor House
At Man and Van Manor House, we provide reliable, well-organised removal services across Manor House and the surrounding North London area. As a local, experienced removals operator, we understand the tight streets, parking challenges and building layouts that can make moving in this part of London stressful if it is not planned properly.
Our team combines practical, hands-on experience with a calm, methodical approach. Whether you are moving a studio flat, a family home, or a small office, we focus on protecting your belongings, keeping disruptions to a minimum, and getting you in and out on time.
Local Removal Specialists in Manor House
Working in Manor House every day means we know the area well – from estate entrances and lift access to local parking restrictions. We factor this into every move, arriving with the right vehicle size, equipment and staff to complete the job efficiently.
We regularly help customers moving between Manor House and areas such as Finsbury Park, Harringay, Tottenham, Stoke Newington and central London. If you are coordinating keys, cleaners, or end-of-tenancy inspections, we will work around your timings to keep your move running smoothly.
Who Our Removal Services Are For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of London, we handle complete household removals, including furniture dismantling and reassembly where needed. We take particular care of bulky and fragile items in older Manor House properties with tight staircases.
Renters
We regularly support tenants moving between flats and HMOs. We can work to strict check-out times, help with basic furniture disassembly, and ensure walls and common areas are protected during the move so you leave on good terms with your landlord or agent.
Landlords & Letting Agents
Our team assists with part and full clearance-style removals, tenant changeovers and furniture repositioning. We can remove old furniture for disposal (subject to council rules and disposal charges) and deliver new items to your rental properties around Manor House.
Businesses
Small offices, shops and studios trust us with office and commercial removals. We move desks, filing cabinets, stock, IT equipment and archives, planning around your trading hours to keep downtime to a minimum.
Students
Students moving into halls, shared houses or back home benefit from our flexible student removals. We can move a few boxes and bags, or a full room, and we’re used to working with tight budgets and last‑minute requests.
What Our Removal Service Includes
Items Commonly Moved
- Sofas, armchairs and living room furniture
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and bedroom furniture

- Washing machines, fridges, freezers and other appliances
- TVs, audio equipment and computers
- Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware and personal items
- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and boxed files
Items We Cannot Move or Move Only by Prior Agreement
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, our removal services do not include:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint, solvents)
- Illegal items or anything that breaches UK regulations
- Large quantities of cash, jewellery or other high-value personal items (these are best carried by you)
- Live animals (including pets and livestock)

If you are unsure about any item, please mention it during your enquiry so we can advise properly.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your move: addresses, property type, access, dates and a rough list of items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote. We will also highlight any parking or access considerations specific to Manor House so there are no surprises on the day.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves, we arrange a short survey, either via video call or an onsite visit. This allows us to confirm volumes, check stairways and lifts, and identify delicate or heavy items. A proper survey means we can allocate the right size vehicle and team, avoiding delays and extra costs.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer full and partial packing services, or you can pack yourself. If we are packing, we bring quality boxes, wrapping and tape, and we label everything ready for unloading. If you are packing, we can advise on how to protect fragile items and prepare appliances so they travel safely.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained, professional team arrives on time, protects floors and banisters where required, and loads your belongings using blankets, straps and trolleys. We plan the loading order so that essential items are accessible first at your new property. Your goods are transported in clean, well-maintained vehicles under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled and ensure major items are where you want them before we leave. We do a final walk-through with you to check nothing has been missed.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are typically based on:
- Volume of goods (number of rooms / list of items)
- Access at both addresses (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
- Distance travelled between properties
- Required services (packing, dismantling, out-of-hours work)
- Number of movers and size of vehicle needed
You receive a written quote that clearly sets out what is included. Any additional charges (such as congestion charge, parking permits or disposal fees) are explained in advance so you can budget with confidence.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removal service is not just about convenience; it is about managing risk and effort. With DIY moves, you may face vehicle hire issues, lack of protective equipment, and injuries from lifting heavy furniture. A casual man-with-a-van arrangement may offer no contract, no insurance and limited accountability.
With Man and Van Manor House, you benefit from trained moving teams, planned logistics, suitable equipment and formal cover if something goes wrong. Your belongings are handled correctly, your property is protected, and the move is completed in fewer journeys with less stress.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We operate as a fully compliant, fully insured removal service, giving you proper protection throughout your move.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury caused by our activities.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are instructed in safe lifting, correct loading techniques, and how to protect furniture and property.
We handle claims transparently and always aim to resolve issues fairly if anything unexpected happens.
Care, Protection & Sustainability
Protecting your belongings and your property is central to how we work. We use removal blankets, straps, tools and, where appropriate, floor and banister protection. Items are loaded securely to minimise movement during transit.
We also aim to work responsibly by:
- Reusing strong boxes where safe and hygienic to do so
- Recycling cardboard and packing materials where possible
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Disposing of unwanted items through proper, licensed channels
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House Within Manor House
Many of our customers move between flats or houses within the local area. We often complete these moves in a single day, coordinating closely with key collections and check-out inspections.
Office Relocations
For small businesses, we plan office removals so that IT equipment, files and furniture arrive in the correct order. We can work early mornings, evenings or weekends to reduce disruption to your staff and clients.
Urgent & Same-Day Moves
Sometimes moves are unplanned – relationship changes, landlord issues or urgent completion dates. Where possible, we offer same-day and short-notice removals in Manor House, subject to vehicle and team availability. We will always be honest about what can realistically be achieved within your timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in Manor House cost?
The cost depends on how much you are moving, the distance between properties, and the access at each address. Small flat moves in Manor House can sometimes be handled within a few hours, while larger house or office moves require more time, staff and vehicle capacity. We provide a clear, itemised quote after asking a few questions or carrying out a short survey. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges, such as parking fees or disposal costs, are explained in advance.
Can you offer same-day or urgent removals?
We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in and around Manor House, particularly for smaller flats, student rooms or partial moves. Availability depends on our existing bookings and the scale of the job, so it is always best to call as early as you can. If we can accommodate you, we will give you a realistic timescale and clear price. If we cannot, we will always tell you honestly rather than over-promising and arriving late.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we carry public liability cover for our work at both properties. Insurance has specific terms and limits, which we are happy to explain before you book. We also minimise the chance of issues by using proper packing, loading and securing techniques, and by employing trained, professional movers who handle your belongings with care.
What is included in your removal service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your belongings between addresses, with placement of items into the rooms you specify. We provide protective blankets and equipment, and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture where agreed. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials and disposal of unwanted items. What is and is not included will always be shown clearly in your written quote so you know exactly what to expect on move day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van arrangement often means minimal planning, no formal contract and limited or no insurance. Our service is a structured, fully insured removal operation with trained teams, appropriate vehicles, and clear communication before, during and after your move. We complete a proper assessment, plan loading and access, protect your belongings and property, and provide written confirmation of your booking and costs. This reduces the risk of delays, damage and unexpected charges, and offers greater peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
Where possible, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday or at the end of the month, when demand is higher. That said, we understand completion dates and tenancy start times are not always confirmed early. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil you in and confirm closer to the time. For last-minute moves, contact us as soon as you know your date and we will do our best to find you a suitable slot.

Local Storage Expertise in Manor House
We’ve been moving and storing for customers in Manor House, Finsbury Park, Harringay and the wider N4/N8/N15 areas for years. That local knowledge means:
- We understand parking restrictions and controlled zones around Manor House.
- We’re used to tight staircases, mansion blocks and conversions in older properties.
- We know the busiest times on nearby routes and plan collections/returns accordingly.
This local expertise helps us carry out storage collections and deliveries efficiently and with minimal disruption to you and your neighbours.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you’re decluttering for a sale, renovating, or between properties. We can store furniture, boxes, appliances and personal effects safely until your new home is ready.
Renters
If your tenancy dates don’t quite line up, or your new place is smaller, our storage service bridges the gap. We can store partial or full contents and redeliver to your new address when needed.
Landlords
We support landlords in Manor House who need to clear furnished properties between tenancies, refurbish flats, or safely store furniture while works are carried out. Flexible terms and itemised inventories make it easy to keep track of everything.
Businesses
From small offices to growing retailers, we offer storage for office furniture, archived files, seasonal stock and equipment. We can also handle phased deliveries to your premises as you need items back.
Students
Manor House is popular with students from local universities and colleges. We provide affordable storage for term-time clear-outs and summer breaks. We collect from halls or shared houses and can redeliver when you return.
What We Can Store
We can safely store most typical household and office items, including:
- Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs, bookcases
- Boxes and personal belongings
- Electronics and small appliances
- Office furniture and IT equipment
- Sports equipment, bikes and hobby items
- Non-perishable stock and promotional materials
Items We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store:
- Perishable food or anything that may spoil
- Hazardous or flammable materials (paints, fuels, gas bottles, chemicals)
- Illegal items or substances
- Live plants or animals
- Cash, high-value jewellery, or irreplaceable documents (such as original wills or passports)
- Explosives, firearms or weapons
If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll be happy to advise before collection.
Our Step-by-Step Storage Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with an outline of what you need to store and for how long. We’ll ask a few questions about access at your Manor House property, the volume of items and your preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation covering collection, storage, and redelivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger storage jobs, we recommend a brief survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Manor House. It allows us to assess volumes accurately, plan the right size vehicle and team, and flag any access challenges in advance.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service where our team carefully packs and labels everything for you. We provide high-quality boxes, wrapping, and furniture protection. All larger items are wrapped and protected to prevent damage in transit and while in storage.
4. Loading & Transport
On the agreed date, our trained team arrives on time with the correct vehicle and materials. We load your belongings methodically, creating an inventory as we go. Everything is securely fastened in the van and transported to our storage facility using safe driving practices.
5. Storage, Unloading & Redelivery
On arrival at the facility, your items are unloaded into secure, clean storage units or containers. Each unit is clearly labelled, organised and recorded. When you’re ready, we arrange a convenient date to redeliver to your new or existing address, unloading and placing items into the rooms you specify.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Storage costs are usually made up of:
- Collection and transport fee from your Manor House address
- Weekly or monthly storage charge based on the space required
- Optional packing materials and professional packing service
- Redelivery and unloading fee when you want your items back
We’ll explain each part of your quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for. For longer-term storage, we can often offer discounted rates.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY Self-Storage?
Many people consider hiring a van and taking items to a self-storage unit themselves. In our experience, a professional managed storage service offers several advantages:
- We do the heavy lifting – safer for you and your belongings.
- We maximise use of storage space, often saving you money.
- Our trained team reduces the risk of damage during handling.
- You avoid the time and hassle of driving, loading and navigating large facilities.
- You’re covered by our goods in transit insurance during transport.
For most customers, the small uplift in cost is easily justified by the convenience, safety and time saved.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our storage service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance while we are transporting your items.
- Public liability cover for work carried out at your property.
- Trained, uniformed staff who follow established moving and lifting techniques.
We work to the standards you would expect from an established removals and storage company, with clear documentation and careful handling throughout.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We use high-quality furniture blankets, mattress protectors, export wrap and boxes to keep your items safe and clean in storage. Where possible, we re-use and recycle packing materials to reduce waste, and we plan our routes efficiently to keep fuel use and emissions down.
Our team is trained to handle items with care, from fragile glassware to bulky wardrobes. We always aim to protect both your belongings and your property, using floor coverings and corner protectors where appropriate.
Real-World Storage Use Cases
Moving House
If your sale and purchase dates don’t quite align, we can move your belongings out of your current Manor House property, store them securely, and then deliver to your new home once you have the keys. This avoids rushed decisions and last-minute stress.
Office Relocation
Businesses often need phased moves. We can store surplus desks, chairs, files and equipment while you refit or downsize your office, returning items as and when they’re needed.
Renovations and Refurbs
Keeping furniture and belongings in a property during building work can lead to dust and damage. We’ll clear rooms, store items safely, and deliver them back once the work is complete.
Urgent or Short-Notice Storage
Sometimes things change quickly – a sudden tenancy end, a fast house sale, or emergency repairs. Subject to availability, we can often arrange storage collections at short notice in Manor House, providing a calm, organised solution when you most need it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage with collection in Manor House cost?
Costs depend on three main factors: how much space you need, how long you need storage for, and the distance/travel time for collection and redelivery. Smaller loads stored for a few weeks will obviously cost less than full-house contents stored for several months. We provide a clear, itemised quote that sets out collection, storage and return charges separately. There are no hidden fees, and we’ll always try to match the storage space to your actual needs so you’re not paying for unused capacity.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Manor House?
Where our schedule and storage capacity allow, we can often help with same-day or short-notice storage. This is particularly common for last-minute tenancy issues, urgent repairs or quick house sales. The more information you can provide when you call, the easier it is for us to plan a suitable vehicle, team and storage space. While we can’t guarantee same-day availability every time, we will always be honest about what’s possible and do our best to accommodate urgent requests.
Are my belongings insured while in storage and in transit?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance while your belongings are being transported between your property and our storage facility, and we maintain appropriate cover for items stored with us. This is in addition to our public liability cover for work carried out at your home or office. We’ll explain the key points of our cover in plain language when you book. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend that you also speak to your own insurer for additional peace of mind.
What’s included in your storage service?
Our standard storage service includes collection from your Manor House address, careful loading, secure transport, storage in a clean facility, and redelivery at the end of the storage period. We also provide basic furniture protection and an inventory for larger jobs. Optional extras include professional packing, specialist packing materials, and disassembly/reassembly of larger items. We tailor the service to your situation, so you can choose as much or as little help as you need, and we’ll set this out clearly in your written quotation.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van to self-storage?
A casual man-and-van will generally just move items from A to B, leaving you to organise storage, paperwork and insurance yourself. Our service is fully managed: we plan access, protect your items properly, provide trained staff, arrange the storage space, maintain an inventory, and offer insurance for transport and storage. This reduces the risk of damage, lost items and unexpected costs. For many customers, especially those storing a household or business contents, this structured, accountable approach is far more reliable than ad-hoc man-and-van arrangements.
How far in advance should I book storage?
We recommend booking as soon as you have approximate dates, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-ends. A week or two’s notice usually allows us to offer the widest choice of collection slots and storage options. That said, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always keep some flexibility for short-notice jobs in Manor House. If your dates are uncertain, we can still provide an outline quote and then confirm the exact schedule closer to the time.
Packing and Boxes
Packing and Boxes in Manor House – Man and Van Manor House
At Man and Van Manor House, we provide a dedicated Packing and Boxes service for moves of all sizes in and around Manor House. As experienced local movers, we know that good packing is what keeps belongings safe, organised and easy to unpack at the other end. Our teams handle everything from supplying boxes to full packing of your home or office, so you can move with confidence and minimal stress.
Professional Packing and Boxes Service Explained
Our Packing and Boxes service is designed to protect your items from the moment we arrive to the moment they are placed in your new property. We can simply supply high‑quality packing materials, or we can take care of everything with a full packing service carried out by our trained, professional movers.
We use strong, double-walled cartons, specialist wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, paper, and protective covers. Every box is clearly labelled with room and contents, making unloading and placement much quicker and reducing the risk of anything going missing.
Local Packing Experts in Manor House
Working day in, day out across Manor House and the surrounding areas, we understand local buildings, access issues and parking restrictions. Many properties here have tight stairwells, split levels and limited lift access, so proper packing and box sizes are critical.
We plan your packing around the layout of your property, the type of items you own and any restrictions in your building or street. This local knowledge helps us avoid damage, delays and last-minute problems, especially in busy or restricted roads around Manor House.
Who Our Packing and Boxes Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out for renovations, we offer full packing or part-packing tailored to your household. Fragile kitchenware, ornaments and artwork are packed with particular care.
Renters
If you are in a flat or shared house, we can pack quickly with minimal disruption. We bring appropriately sized boxes so they fit through communal hallways and staircases commonly found in Manor House rentals.
Landlords
We assist with packing and boxing belongings when tenants change, properties are refurbished or inventories must be protected. We can pack, label and store items from furnished or part-furnished properties.
Businesses
Offices, shops and studios rely on our commercial packing to protect computers, files, stock and fixtures. We label by department or function to keep your business running with minimal downtime.
Students
Students moving into or out of shared accommodation or halls benefit from our budget-friendly packing options. We can supply just boxes, or pack your essentials so you can focus on studies and deadlines.
What Items Are Included?
Our Packing and Boxes service can include:
- General household items – books, clothes, kitchenware, toys
- Electronics – TVs, computers, small appliances (properly padded and boxed)
- Fragile items – glassware, china, ornaments, mirrors
- Pictures and artwork – wrapped and boxed or carded where appropriate
- Bedding, linens and soft furnishings
- Office equipment and paperwork – boxed and labelled by team or department
What Items Are Excluded?
For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our packing service or must be handled under special arrangements:
- Hazardous materials – paint, solvents, gas cylinders, fuel, chemicals
- Perishable or refrigerated food
- Live plants or animals
- High-value jewellery, cash and important personal documents (we recommend you move these yourself)
- Large fixed installations (e.g. built-in appliances) unless agreed in advance
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.
Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online and tell us about your move in Manor House or surrounding areas. We will ask about property size, number of rooms, special items and your preferred moving date. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote for packing, boxes and any associated moving services.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
We usually carry out a virtual or in-person survey, depending on the size and complexity of your move. This allows us to assess volume, access, parking, and any fragile or awkward pieces. The survey ensures we allocate the correct number of boxes, packing materials and staff, and it helps keep costs transparent.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our trained packing team arrives with all the necessary materials. We pack room by room, protecting surfaces and working methodically. Fragile goods are wrapped and cushioned; heavier items are placed in smaller boxes to avoid overloading. We label every box by room and contents, and create a clear separation between items going to different destinations if needed.
4. Loading & Transport
Once everything is packed, we load your goods onto our vehicles using protective blankets, straps and floor runners where required. Because everything is already securely boxed, loading is faster and safer. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the move.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload and place boxes into the correct rooms according to their labels. If you have booked an unpacking option, we can also unbox selected items, such as kitchenware and essentials, and take away used packing materials for recycling or reuse.
Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes
We base our pricing on a combination of:
- Property size and volume of contents
- Level of service – materials only, part-packing or full packing
- Access conditions and any special items
- Distance and timing of your move
All charges are explained clearly in writing before you book. We do not hide extra fees for standard materials or routine packing tasks. If additional work is requested on the day, we agree any changes with you first. This transparent approach helps you budget accurately and avoid unexpected costs.
Why Choose Professional Packing Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
It can be tempting to gather free boxes and pack yourself, or to use a casual man-and-van service. In practice, this often leads to poorly packed boxes, breakages, delays and difficult insurance claims. Professional packing significantly reduces the risk of damage and stress.
Our professional teams know how to protect fragile items, balance box weight, and plan packing so that loading and unloading are efficient. With proper materials and labelling, the whole move runs more smoothly, and you spend less time hunting for essentials in unmarked boxes.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a reputable local removals company, we work to recognised industry standards and carry appropriate insurance cover, including:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for peace of mind at both properties
- Trained moving teams experienced in handling fragile, heavy and valuable items
We will explain what is covered, any limits that apply, and how to declare particularly valuable items. Proper, professional packing supports any insurance claim should the unexpected happen.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Corners, edges and surfaces are protected with wrap and padding; floors and bannisters are covered where needed. We avoid overfilling boxes and use the right materials for each item.
We also take sustainability seriously. Wherever possible, we use recyclable cartons and paper, and we encourage re-use of boxes on local moves. On request, we can collect used boxes after your move so they can be reused or recycled rather than thrown away.
Real-World Uses of Our Packing and Boxes Service
Moving House
Families and individuals in Manor House rely on our full packing service to manage complete home moves. We handle everything from kitchen cupboards and wardrobes to garages and lofts, often over one or two days depending on the size of the property.
Office Relocation
For offices and commercial spaces, we pack desks, IT equipment, files and stock with clear labels so your team can be productive again as quickly as possible. We can work outside normal hours to minimise disruption.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
When you need to move quickly, there is often no time to pack properly yourself. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or short-notice packing for key areas of your home or office, focusing on essentials and fragile items so you can move safely even under time pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does professional packing and boxes cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the volume of items and whether you choose materials only, part-packing or full packing. For a typical flat, packing can often be completed in a day, while larger houses may require more time and materials. After a quick assessment or survey, we provide a clear written quote that breaks down labour and materials. There are no hidden charges for standard packing tasks, and we are happy to tailor the service to suit your budget by focusing on specific rooms or fragile items.
Can you offer same-day or urgent packing in Manor House?
Subject to schedule and crew availability, we can often help with same-day or short-notice packing in Manor House and nearby areas. If you are working to a tight deadline, contact us as early as you can with your move date, property size and key priorities. We will confirm what level of service we can provide and whether a full or partial packing service is realistic in the time available. Even on urgent jobs, we maintain proper packing standards so that your belongings remain protected throughout the move.
Are my belongings insured while being packed and moved?
Yes. While your items are being transported, they are covered under our goods in transit insurance, and we also hold public liability cover. These policies provide protection against specified risks, subject to terms and limits, which we will explain before you book. Proper, professional packing is a key part of that protection, as insurers expect reasonable care to be taken. We recommend that you move irreplaceable documents, cash and high-value jewellery yourself, and let us know in advance if you have particularly valuable items that may require special handling or additional cover.
What’s included in your Packing and Boxes service?
Our service can include the supply of boxes and packing materials, full or partial packing of your belongings, clear labelling of all cartons, and safe loading onto our vehicles. At the destination, we unload boxes into the correct rooms, and if you choose, we can assist with unpacking selected areas such as kitchens or bedrooms. We also remove used packing materials we have supplied, where practical. Hazardous goods, perishables and certain high-value personal items are excluded, but we will advise you clearly during the survey so you know exactly what is and is not covered.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, leaving you to source boxes, pack everything yourself and accept a higher risk of damage. We provide a structured, professional service with trained moving teams, high-quality materials, proper packing methods and clear labelling. We carry appropriate insurance, conduct surveys, and plan routes and access in advance. This reduces stress, protects your belongings and makes both ends of the move more organised. For many customers, the time saved and the lower risk of breakages more than justify using a professional packing and removals company.
How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?
Where possible, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks before your move date, especially if you are in a larger property or moving at a busy time of year. This allows us to complete a survey, plan staff and materials, and offer you your preferred dates. However, we understand that moves are not always confirmed early. If you are working to a shorter timescale, contact us as soon as your date is likely, and we will do our best to accommodate you with a practical packing plan.

Students or freelancers moving equipment between home, university facilities and shared workspaces in Manor House can rely on us for flexible, short-notice moves of IT kit, chairs, desks and archive boxes.

- Desks, tables, pedestals and shelving

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with basic details: current address, destination, approximate size of office and preferred move date. We’ll discuss your requirements, any access restrictions and timing constraints, then provide a clear, no-obligation estimate.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most office moves, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey to understand volumes, access (lifts, stairs, loading bays), IT equipment and any special handling needs. This allows us to plan the right team size, vehicle(s), protective materials and schedule, and to give you a more accurate fixed or capped quote.
3. Packing & Preparation
We can provide a full packing service or supply materials if you prefer to pack:
- Sturdy crates or boxes for files and stationery
- Anti-static protection and screen covers for IT equipment
- Bubble wrap, packing paper and labels
- Dismantling of desks and furniture where required
We coordinate with your IT team or provider to ensure equipment is powered down and disconnected properly before moving.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and common areas where needed, and loads systematically. Items are wrapped and secured in our vehicles to prevent movement in transit. We plan routes around London traffic and parking restrictions, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends to reduce disruption.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new office, we unload in line with your floor plan, placing desks, chairs and equipment where you want them. We can reassemble standard flat-pack or modular office furniture and position crates for easy unpacking. Once everything is in place, we complete a walk-through with you to ensure you are satisfied before we leave.
Transparent Office Removals Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no surprise charges. Office removals in Manor House are typically priced based on:
- Volume and weight of items
- Number of staff required
- Distance between properties
- Access (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking constraints)
- Additional services such as packing, furniture assembly and crate hire
For smaller moves, we may offer an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. Larger relocations are usually quoted as a fixed price. All costs are clearly set out in writing before you commit.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY
Trying to move an office using staff, friends or a casual man-and-van often leads to delays, damage and unnecessary stress. A professional office removal service offers:
- Experienced planning and coordination to minimise business disruption
- Correct handling of IT equipment and office furniture
- Suitable vehicles with securing points, blankets and trolleys
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Trained teams who understand manual handling and building rules
In many cases, a professionally managed move is more cost-effective once you factor in staff time, potential damage and lost working hours.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your business assets are important. We are fully covered with:
- Goods in transit insurance for items we transport
- Public liability cover for work on your premises
Our moving teams are trained in safe lifting techniques, office equipment handling and working in shared buildings with other tenants present. We follow clear checklists, label systems and sign-off procedures so you know exactly what has moved and where it has gone.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to protect both your items and the buildings we work in:
- Use of furniture blankets, straps and protective covers
- Careful navigation of corridors, lifts and stairwells
- Floor and wall protection in high-traffic areas where required
Where possible, we re-use durable crates and packing materials, and we plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage. If you are clearing an office, we can help separate reusable items and recyclables, and arrange responsible disposal for unwanted furniture and equipment.
Real-World Office Removal Scenarios
Moving to a Larger Office
Growing businesses in Manor House often need more space. We help you phase the move so your team can keep working while departments transfer in stages, with essential IT and meeting rooms prioritised.
Internal Office Reconfiguration
Not moving address but changing layout? We can relocate departments between floors, move storage areas, and reconfigure desks and meeting rooms, usually outside normal working hours.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Lease issues, flooding or building works sometimes force a rapid move. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day office removals in Manor House, focusing on getting your core operations up and running first.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Manor House cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your office, the amount of furniture and equipment, the distance between properties and the level of service you need. Smaller office moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while larger relocations are usually quoted at a fixed price after a survey. Packing, crate hire and furniture assembly can be included or itemised separately. Once we have assessed your move, we provide a clear written quotation so you know exactly what is covered and how much you will pay.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
Yes, subject to availability we can often assist with same-day or short-notice office removals in Manor House. Urgent moves are prioritised around getting your essential equipment, desks and IT in place so you can resume work quickly. The earlier you contact us, the better we can allocate vehicles and staff. For very last-minute relocations, we may suggest a phased approach, moving critical items first and the remaining contents later the same day or on subsequent days to minimise disruption.
What insurance cover do you provide?
We carry goods in transit insurance to protect items while they are being transported in our vehicles, and public liability cover for work carried out in and around your premises. This provides reassurance that, in the unlikely event something goes wrong, there is appropriate protection in place. During the survey, we will explain the key points of our cover and any limits or exclusions. If you have particularly high-value or sensitive items, we can discuss additional precautions or specialist arrangements where necessary.
What is included in an office removals service?
Our standard office removals service includes collection, loading, transport and delivery of your office furniture, IT equipment, boxed files and other contents between the agreed addresses. We protect items with blankets and covers, use trolleys where appropriate, and place goods into designated areas at the destination. Optional extras include packing and unpacking, crate and materials supply, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and clearance of unwanted items. All inclusions and any optional services are set out clearly in your quotation before you book.
How is a professional office removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service may suit small one-off tasks, but office removals usually require more planning and protection. A professional office removal service provides experienced teams, appropriate insurance, proper packing and securing of items, and coordination with building management and IT. We conduct surveys, plan access, and allocate the right resources to keep your move on schedule. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disruption compared with an ad-hoc, unplanned move using a general man-and-van without specific office relocation experience.
How far in advance should I book my office move?
Ideally, office moves should be booked several weeks in advance, especially if you need to move on a specific date, at month-end, or over a weekend. Early booking allows time for surveys, planning, crate delivery and staff communication. However, we understand that business timelines can change, and we regularly accommodate shorter notice moves where possible. Even if your dates are not fully confirmed, it is worth contacting us early so we can advise on likely availability and help you prepare a realistic schedule.

Our Step-by-Step Man with a Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with a brief description of your move: addresses, property type, main items, and any access details. We’ll ask a few focused questions, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on time, distance and the size of vehicle and team required.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For straightforward jobs, we can usually quote from your description and photos. For larger or more complex moves in Manor House, we may recommend a short virtual or onsite survey. This helps us assess access, parking, item sizes and any special handling needs so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or, for an additional fee, we can provide a professional packing service. If you’re packing yourself, we’ll advise on box sizes, labelling and protecting fragile items. On moving day, we bring blankets, straps and basic tools for disassembling and reassembling standard furniture where needed.
4. Loading & Transport
Our team carefully loads your belongings, using protective blankets and securing everything for transport. We work efficiently but never rush the handling of delicate items. Once loaded, we travel directly to your destination using planned routes to reduce delays and keep your move on schedule.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify, not just at the front door. We’ll reassemble any agreed items and do a final check with you before we leave, ensuring nothing has been missed and you’re happy with where everything is placed.
Transparent Pricing
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our man with a van service is typically charged on an hourly basis with a minimum booking period, plus any congestion or parking charges where applicable. For certain moves, we can agree a fixed price in advance.
Your quote will clearly set out:
- Number of movers and size of van
- Hourly rate or fixed fee
- Estimated time required
- Any additional services (packing, materials, extra porters)
There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs (such as late key waits or extra drops) are explained upfront.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a casual man-with-a-van or attempting a DIY move might seem cheaper, but it often comes with higher risk and stress. With Man and Van Manor House you benefit from:
- Trained movers accustomed to handling heavy and awkward items safely
- Correct equipment and protective materials
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Planned logistics, timing and route selection
- Clear communication and a reliable arrival time
The result is less risk of damage, fewer personal injuries, and a far smoother experience from start to finish.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a fully insured removals company, we operate to professional standards expected in the UK removals industry.
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while we move them
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property
- Trained, vetted teams following safe handling techniques
- Clean, well-maintained vehicles equipped for removals work
We will explain exactly what is covered and any limits or exclusions so you have a clear understanding before booking.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings with the same care we would give our own. Vans are equipped with blankets, straps and floor protection, and we take time to plan the loading order to minimise movement in transit.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where possible we:
- Use reusable crates and durable packing materials
- Encourage customers to recycle or donate unwanted items
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce fuel usage
- Maintain our vehicles for cleaner, more efficient running

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with a van in Manor House cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of vehicle, number of movers required, distance between addresses and how long the job takes. Most local moves are charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, while some larger or more complex jobs are priced as a fixed fee. When you contact us, we’ll ask a few practical questions so we can give a realistic estimate. Your quote will clearly state the hourly rate or fixed price, any anticipated extra costs, and what is included so there are no surprises.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man with a van services?
Yes, subject to availability. We keep some flexibility in our schedule to handle urgent or short-notice moves in and around Manor House. If you need a same-day service, call us as early as possible with your details, and we’ll confirm what we can do. We’ll always be honest about timings and whether your job is feasible that day. Where same-day isn’t possible, we’ll offer the earliest realistic alternative and explain any potential cost implications of urgent work.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our care, and public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property. This is one of the key differences between using a professional removals company and hiring a casual van. During the booking process, we’ll outline the level of cover, any excesses and exclusions, and how best to list any particularly valuable items. If you need additional cover beyond our standard policy, we can advise on suitable options.
What’s included in your man with a van service?
Our standard service includes a trained driver–porter, a properly equipped van, loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We bring blankets, straps and basic tools for simple furniture disassembly and reassembly where agreed. Packing, packing materials, extra porters, dismantling of complex items and disposal services are available at additional cost. We’ll confirm exactly what is included in your quotation so you know what to expect on the day and can add optional services if needed.
How is this different from a basic man-and-van hire?
Many basic man-and-van operators work informally, may not be fully insured and often lack professional moving equipment. Our service is run as a professional removals operation: insured, trained staff, planned logistics and clear terms. We follow safe handling practices, protect your belongings properly and provide written confirmation of your booking. The aim is to offer the flexibility and value of a man with a van, but with the standards and reliability of an established removals company.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend or month-end moves, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, as these periods fill quickly in Manor House. For midweek or off-peak slots, we can often accommodate shorter notice, and sometimes even same-day jobs. The more notice you give, the better choice of time slots you’ll have. That said, if your plans change or something urgent arises, contact us and we’ll always do our best to fit you in or suggest a practical alternative.
