Whether you are moving a single item across town or a full flat to the other side of London, our experienced local team will handle everything carefully, safely and on time.

We combine the flexibility of a traditional man-and-van with the standards of a fully managed removals company: trained staff, structured processes and full insurance for your peace of mind.

What Our Man with a Van Service Includes

Our service is designed to be straightforward and stress-free. We turn up on time, prepared, and ready to work efficiently while looking after your belongings.

• Homeowners – small house moves, partial moves, downsizing or moving items into storage.
• Renters – flat and maisonette moves, room-to-room moves, and end-of-tenancy clear-outs.
• Landlords – furnished property moves, furniture swaps, and post-tenancy removals.
• Businesses – small office relocations, equipment moves, archive and stock transport.
• Students – term-time moves between halls, flats and storage, often on tight schedules.

Typical Items We Move

We can safely handle most household and office items, including:

• TVs, computers, printers and other electronics
• Boxes of books, clothes, kitchenware and personal belongings

• Illegal items of any kind

• Industrial machinery requiring specialist lifting or certification
• Unpacked loose liquids or perishable food in bulk

If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask when you enquire – we will confirm what is possible and suggest alternatives if needed.

Local Expertise in Teddington

Working daily in Teddington means we know the area, traffic patterns and local restrictions extremely well. From narrow residential streets and controlled parking zones to loading bays on busy main roads, we plan each job around local conditions.

We regularly operate in and around Teddington High Street, the riverside, Bushy Park, and nearby areas such as Hampton Wick, Twickenham and Kingston. This local knowledge helps us select the right vehicle, plan realistic timings and avoid unnecessary delays on moving day.

Step-by-Step: How Our Man with a Van Service Works

1. Enquiry & Clear Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online form with your basic details: collection and delivery addresses, approximate list of items, and preferred date. We will ask a few targeted questions to understand access (stairs, lifts, parking) and volume. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually with a fixed price or transparent hourly rate, depending on the job.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger moves or more complex jobs, we carry out a quick survey – often by video call or detailed photos. This lets us accurately judge how many movers are needed, which van size is appropriate, and any special equipment required. An onsite survey can be arranged for bigger or more complicated properties in Teddington, ensuring there are no surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from two approaches:

• Customer-packed service – you pack your own boxes; we supply materials on request and provide packing guidance.
• Part or full packing service – our trained team packs fragile items, kitchens or your entire property, using professional-grade materials.

We label boxes clearly for easy unloading and placement, and we prepare larger items (e.g. simple disassembly of beds or tables if agreed in advance).

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our crew arrives on time, in uniform and ready to work. We protect your property and belongings using:

• Clean removal blankets and mattress covers
• Furniture straps and secure load bars
• Floor protection where needed

Everything is loaded systematically to minimise movement in transit. We then transport your goods directly to the new address, following the most efficient, safe route.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your destination, we unload items into the rooms you specify, not just to the door. We reassemble any furniture we disassembled as part of the agreed service and position larger items so you can start using them straight away. Before we leave, we double-check that nothing has been missed and that you are satisfied with the placement.

Transparent Pricing for Man with a Van in Teddington

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our man with a van service is usually priced in one of two ways:

• Fixed-price moves – ideal for defined jobs where we know the scope and access in advance.
• Hourly rates – flexible for smaller or variable jobs, with a minimum booking period agreed upfront.

Your quote will always explain what is included: number of movers, vehicle size, expected duration, travel time, and any additional services such as packing or dismantling. Parking charges or congestion/ULEZ fees, if applicable, are clearly stated in advance.

Why Choose a Professional Man with a Van Over DIY

Hiring a professional man with a van service in Teddington offers significant advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual advert from social media:

• Safety – our trained movers know how to lift and carry heavy or awkward items without injury or damage.
• Protection – we use proper equipment and packing materials to protect your furniture and property.
• Insurance – your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance; DIY moves typically are not.
• Reliability – we confirm dates in writing and turn up as agreed; you are not relying on a casual favour.
• Time-saving – experienced movers complete the job much faster, freeing you to focus on other aspects of the move.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Man With a Van Teddington operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being moved in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property in the unlikely event of an accident.
• Trained moving teams – staff receive ongoing training in handling, packing, and health & safety.

We follow industry best practice for loading, securing and transporting items, and we keep our vehicles clean, well maintained and suitable for urban work around Teddington.

Care, Protection & Sustainability

We aim to move your belongings carefully while minimising our environmental impact:

• Use of reusable transit blankets, crates and straps to cut down on single-use materials.
• Option to supply reusable plastic crates instead of cardboard boxes where appropriate.
• Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel consumption.
• Correct disposal or recycling of unwanted items on request, using licensed waste facilities.

Our focus on care extends to both your possessions and the properties we work in – we take time to protect floors, walls and doorways wherever practical.

Real-World Use Cases for Our Man with a Van Service

Moving House or Flat Within Teddington

Many local moves do not require a large removals lorry. Our man with a van teams regularly move 1–2 bedroom flats and smaller houses within Teddington and nearby areas, often completing the entire move in a single morning or afternoon.

Small Office Relocations

For small businesses and home offices, our service is ideal for moving desks, chairs, IT equipment and files. We can work outside normal office hours to reduce downtime, and we pay particular attention to the safe handling of computers and sensitive equipment.

Urgent and Same-Day Moves

When plans change at short notice – a tenancy start date shifts, a buyer brings completion forward, or a courier lets you down – we do our best to offer same-day or next-day man with a van support, subject to availability. Our flexible structure allows us to respond quickly to urgent requests in and around Teddington.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man with a van in Teddington cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of the move, access, travel distance and how many movers are required. Smaller local jobs might be charged at an hourly rate, while larger flat or house moves are often quoted as a fixed price. To give you a fair figure, we ask about your inventory, floors, parking and dates, then provide a clear written quote. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs, such as parking or congestion charges, are explained in advance.

Can you provide same-day or urgent man with a van service?

Yes, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice moves in Teddington, particularly for smaller jobs. Availability depends on our existing bookings and the size of the move, so it is always best to call us as early as possible. If we can help on the day, we will give you an immediate estimate and confirm timings. If we are fully booked, we will offer the earliest possible alternative and suggest practical steps to bridge any gap.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being handled by us and transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover for work at your property. Our team is trained to minimise risk, and we use appropriate protection for furniture and premises. We will explain the key terms and any limits when you book, and you are welcome to ask if you have high-value or particularly fragile items needing extra attention or documentation.

What exactly is included in your man with a van service?

As standard, our service includes the van, fuel, an experienced driver, at least one additional mover (depending on your booking), loading and unloading, and transport between the agreed addresses. We place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle or reassemble straightforward furniture if agreed beforehand. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, and disposal of unwanted items. Your written quote will set out precisely what is included, so you know where you stand before moving day.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van advert?

We operate as a professional removals business, not a casual side job. That means fully insured vehicles, trained staff, written confirmations, clear quotes and structured processes. We use proper equipment and materials, arrive in sign-written or clearly identified vans, and follow industry best practice. A basic advert might be cheaper upfront but often lacks insurance, reliability or sufficient manpower. Our approach is to offer the flexibility of a man and van with the peace of mind of a reputable removals company.

How far in advance should I book?

For weekends, month-ends and peak moving periods, we recommend booking your man with a van in Teddington 2–3 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. For midweek or smaller jobs, we can often accommodate bookings with much shorter notice. Even if your dates are not final, it is worth getting in touch early so we can pencil you in and adjust as needed. The earlier you book, the more flexible we can be with timings and any additional services you might require.
