At Man and Van Mitcham, we provide careful, efficient furniture removals across Mitcham and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving everything from studio flats to large family homes and local businesses, we know how to handle your furniture safely, protect your property and keep the day running smoothly.
Our furniture removals service is designed to take the stress out of moving bulky, heavy or awkward items. Whether you are moving a single sofa across town or relocating an entire household, our professional team plans every step, uses the right equipment and loads your belongings securely for transport.
We work throughout Mitcham and nearby areas, managing everything from tight staircases in flats to access-limited terraced houses. We turn up when we say we will, protect your furniture and floors, and keep you informed throughout.
Operating daily in and around Mitcham means we understand local roads, parking restrictions, estate layouts and flat access issues inside out. This local knowledge helps us:
This local experience, combined with our trained moving teams, keeps your move running on time and reduces the risk of damage or disruption.
If you are moving house within Mitcham or further afield, we can move your whole household of furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, dining sets, appliances and more – with full protection and careful planning.
From studio flats to shared houses, we regularly help renters move their furniture in and out of properties, working around lift access, stairwells and tight time slots from letting agents.
Landlords use our service to clear or fit out rental properties, remove old furniture, or move part-furnished items between properties, always with minimal disruption to neighbours and other tenants.
Our commercial furniture removals cover office desks, chairs, shelving, stockroom racking and reception furniture. We can schedule out-of-hours or weekend moves to minimise downtime.
Students often need smaller but still heavy items moved between accommodation – such as beds, desks and storage units. We offer cost-effective options for student moves across Mitcham and nearby campuses.
Our furniture removals service usually covers:
For safety and insurance reasons, we normally cannot move:
If you have unusual or particularly heavy items (pianos, safes, large aquariums, gym equipment), let us know in advance so we can advise if they are covered and plan appropriately.
Contact us with basic details: addresses, access information, list or photos of furniture, preferred dates and any time restrictions. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included so you know exactly what to expect.
For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit. We assess access, parking, the volume of furniture, any disassembly required and special handling needs. This ensures accurate pricing and proper planning.
On the day, we protect your furniture using removal blankets, shrink wrap and mattress covers where needed. If requested, we offer a packing and disassembly/reassembly service for wardrobes, beds and larger items. Floors, bannisters and doors are protected to avoid scuffs and scratches.
Our trained team loads your furniture methodically, securing items with straps and using trolleys and dollies where required. We balance the load to prevent movement during transit and choose routes suited to the size of the vehicle, traffic and time of day.
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing larger items where you want them. If we have dismantled items, we can reassemble them as agreed. Before we leave, we invite you to walk round and check you are happy with the placement and condition of your furniture.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes typically consider:
We can price by fixed job rate for defined moves, or by hourly rate for smaller or flexible jobs. Any potential extra charges (for example, additional stops or waiting time due to keys) are discussed in advance so there are no surprises.
Moving furniture yourself or using a casual man-and-van might seem cheaper, but it often leads to damaged items, injuries or unexpected delays. With Man and Van Mitcham you get:
In many cases, the cost difference is modest compared to the peace of mind and protection you gain.
We operate to professional standards expected of a reputable removals company:
Details of our cover levels are available on request, and we are happy to talk through how they apply to your particular move.
We treat your furniture and property with respect. This means using protective blankets, wraps and covers, careful lifting techniques and an organised loading plan. Where possible, we reuse durable protective materials and recycle cardboard and plastics responsibly to reduce waste.
We also plan routes efficiently and maintain our vehicles properly to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions, contributing to a more sustainable way of working.
Complete home moves are a core part of what we do. We can move everything from a one-bed flat in Mitcham to a full family home to or from the area, coordinating closely with your key collection times and any chain-related constraints.
Businesses rely on us to move office furniture, reception areas and storage efficiently. We can break down the move into phases, label items clearly and work outside normal office hours to reduce disruption to staff and customers.
Sometimes moves come up at short notice – end of tenancy issues, last-minute completions or urgent clearances. Where our schedule allows, we provide same-day or next-day furniture removals in Mitcham. The more information you can provide when calling, the quicker we can confirm availability.
Costs depend on the volume and type of furniture, access at each property, distance travelled and whether you need extras such as packing or dismantling. Smaller local moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Once we know what you are moving and where from and to, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden fees. This ensures you understand exactly what is included before you book.
We can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Mitcham, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Smaller furniture moves are usually easier to fit in at short notice. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as possible with full details, including addresses, access information and a rough inventory. We will confirm availability, outline any time constraints and give you a clear price before you commit.
We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your furniture while it is being moved in our vehicles, along with public liability cover at the properties we attend. This means you are protected in the unlikely event of accidental damage directly caused by us. We handle your items carefully to minimise risk, but insurance offers additional reassurance. If you have particularly high-value pieces, let us know in advance so we can confirm cover levels and discuss any extra precautions.
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture between the agreed addresses, basic protection using blankets and straps, and placement of items into the rooms you specify. At your request, we can add packing assistance and dismantling/reassembly for suitable items. Quotes also cover travel time and fuel, so there are no surprise mileage fees within the agreed scope. Exclusions, such as hazardous materials or items we cannot safely handle, are explained clearly before you confirm your booking.
A casual man-and-van often offers simple transport only, with limited or no insurance, basic equipment and little planning. Our professional removals service provides fully insured transport, trained staff, appropriate vehicles, protective materials and a structured process from quote through to completion. We assess access in advance, secure your furniture properly, provide paperwork and work to agreed timings. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes, giving you a more reliable, accountable service.
For larger home or office moves, we recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or time. This gives us time to arrange surveys, plan vehicles and allocate the right team. Smaller local moves can sometimes be organised with only a few days' notice, subject to availability. During busier periods such as month-end and Fridays, slots fill quickly, so the earlier you contact us with your details, the better your choice of times.
Moving a piano is not the same as moving standard furniture. At Man and Van Mitcham, our dedicated piano removals service is designed specifically to move upright and grand pianos safely across Mitcham and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience in specialist moves, we combine the right equipment, technique and planning to move your instrument without damage to the piano or your property.
Our piano removals team handles everything from small uprights in flats to large baby grands in family homes and schools. We assess access routes, protect floors and walls, and use purpose-made equipment to keep your piano secure throughout the move.
Every job is carried out by trained movers who understand how pianos are constructed and where they are most vulnerable. We do not treat your instrument as just another item; we plan the move around the piano, not the other way round.
Working day in, day out across Mitcham means we know the local streets, parking restrictions, flat entrances and common access challenges. This local knowledge saves time, reduces risk and helps us plan the right vehicle and crew for your job.
Whether you are moving within Mitcham, to another part of London or further afield, our local base allows us to offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends, subject to availability.
If you are moving house and taking a treasured family piano with you, we can coordinate with your main removals date or move the piano separately for extra safety. We regularly work alongside full house removals to ensure the piano is handled calmly and correctly.
Many renters in flats and maisonettes rely on us to move pianos in and out of tight stairwells and communal entrances. We take particular care to avoid scuffs or damage to shared areas, helping you protect your deposit and relationship with your landlord.
If you have a piano left in a rental property, we provide efficient single-item removals to clear the space, store the instrument, or deliver it to a new tenant or owner. We offer clear documentation and can work around tenant check-in and check-out times.
We move pianos for schools, music studios, churches, theatres and hotels. Our team is used to working in busy environments, respecting noise limits and keeping disruption to a minimum. We can schedule moves outside core hours where needed.
Music students often need to move digital or acoustic pianos between term-time accommodation and home. We offer cost-effective student removals options for smaller instruments and uprights, with flexible dates around exams and term starts.
If you are unsure whether your piano can be moved, we will advise honestly during the survey. Where necessary, we can recommend a suitable specialist.
You contact us with details of your piano, collection and delivery addresses, and any known access issues. If you can supply photos or measurements, even better. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included and any assumptions we have made.
For most piano moves, we carry out a short virtual survey using photos or video, or an onsite visit for more complex access. We check staircases, turns, steps, lifts and door widths. This allows us to plan the safest route and confirm the team size, equipment and vehicle required.
On the day, we protect your piano with thick moving blankets and, where appropriate, specialist covers. Key lids are secured, pedals and delicate areas are padded, and for grands we may remove the legs and lyre as needed. Floors, bannisters and door frames are protected to prevent scuffs and scrapes.
We use proper piano trolleys, skids and lifting techniques to move the instrument carefully to our vehicle. Inside the van, the piano is secured using straps and braces so it cannot shift during transit. Our vehicles are maintained to a high standard to minimise vibration and movement.
At the destination, we reverse the process, placing the piano exactly where you want it in the new property, subject to access. We make minor position adjustments on request and remove all protective materials, leaving your home tidy. We always recommend allowing the piano to acclimatise before tuning.
We price piano removals based on a few clear factors:
You receive a straightforward quote with no hidden charges. If circumstances change (for example, additional flights of stairs not mentioned at booking), we discuss any price adjustment with you before work continues.
Pianos are exceptionally heavy, awkward to handle and mechanically delicate. DIY attempts or casual man-and-van moves often result in back injuries, damaged instruments and costly repairs to floors, walls and staircases.
By using a professional piano removals service, you benefit from:
In many cases, the cost of professional movers is far less than the potential cost of damage or injury from attempting it yourself.
We operate to high professional standards to give you peace of mind:
We are always happy to provide proof of cover and answer questions about how your piano will be protected throughout the move.
We treat every piano and property with care. Protective blankets, floor protection and careful route planning all help to prevent avoidable damage. Our team works calmly, even in tight spaces, avoiding rushed movements that can lead to accidents.
We also consider the environment. Wherever possible, we use reusable protective materials rather than single-use plastics, plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage, and maintain our vehicles regularly to improve fuel performance and reliability.
Many customers have an upright or baby grand that has been in the family for years. We can move the piano on the same day as your house move or separately, depending on what is safest. Our team coordinates with your main removals schedule to keep everything running smoothly.
For businesses, studios and schools, we often move pianos as part of a wider office removals or premises change. We can work outside teaching or trading hours, ensuring the piano is ready for lessons, rehearsals or performances with minimal downtime.
Sometimes a piano needs to be moved quickly – for example, just before a property completion or to clear a room for renovation. Subject to availability, we can offer same-day or next-day piano removals in Mitcham and nearby areas, always keeping safety as the priority.
The cost depends mainly on the type of piano, the distance between properties and the access at each end. Upright pianos on the ground floor with easy parking are typically less expensive than pianos on higher floors or with tight staircases. Once we have a few details and, ideally, some photos, we provide a fixed, transparent quote. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs, such as difficult access or parking charges, are explained in advance so you know exactly what to expect.
We can often accommodate same-day or urgent piano moves in Mitcham, especially for local jobs, but it depends on vehicle and crew availability. Piano moves require planning and the right equipment, so the more notice you can give us, the better. If you do need an urgent move, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details. We will check our schedule, advise honestly on what is possible and never overpromise on timings or safety just to secure a booking.
Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved and transported by our team. We also hold public liability insurance to cover accidental damage to third-party property. Insurance is there for peace of mind, but our focus is always on preventing issues in the first place through proper handling and protection. If you have a particularly high-value instrument, let us know so we can confirm cover levels and discuss any additional precautions you would like us to take.
Our service includes a pre-move assessment, planning the safest route, protection of the piano with blankets and covers, careful movement from its current position to our vehicle, secure strapping during transport, and placement in the requested position at the new property. We also protect floors and key contact points wherever practical. Disassembly and reassembly of certain parts of grand pianos are included where required. Tuning is not included, as we recommend this is carried out by a specialist tuner once the piano has settled after the move.
A standard man-and-van service is ideal for many everyday items but often lacks the specialist equipment, training and insurance needed for safe piano moves. Professional piano removals use experienced crews, piano trolleys, skids and specific techniques to handle the instrument’s weight and delicate internal structure. We also conduct a proper survey to plan access and minimise risk. While a basic man-and-van might seem cheaper initially, the potential cost of damage to the piano or property can far outweigh the saving.
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a weekend or are moving at a busy time of year. That said, we understand that moves do not always come with much notice. We will always do our best to help with short-notice bookings where our schedule allows. The sooner you contact us with accurate details and photos, the faster we can confirm availability, price and any preparation you may need to do.
Moving to or from university accommodation can be stressful, especially when you are trying to juggle exams, work, and finding your feet in a new city. At Man and Van Mitcham, we provide a dedicated student removals service in Mitcham and the surrounding areas, designed to be simple, affordable, and reliable.
Our student removals are built around the way students actually move. Whether you are leaving halls, switching house shares, or storing items over the summer, we offer a flexible service that covers:
Every move includes a professional driver and move team, the vehicle, protective equipment and careful loading and unloading as standard.
We work across Mitcham day in, day out, so we know the local roads, one-way systems, parking restrictions and busy times around:
This local knowledge means shorter journey times, realistic timings, and fewer surprises on move day. If your accommodation has tricky access, limited parking or lift restrictions, we’ll plan for it in advance.
Although this page focuses on students, our service is suitable for a wide range of customers who need smaller yet carefully managed moves around Mitcham:
We adapt the size of the van and crew to fit your specific needs and budget.
Most student moves involve a mixture of personal belongings, study equipment and a few pieces of furniture. We routinely move:
For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded from our service. We do not carry:
If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask when you enquire and we will advise you.
Contact us by phone, email or online with your move details: where you are moving from and to, dates, and roughly what you have. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume, access and distance. For straightforward student moves, we can usually quote the same day.
For larger loads or awkward properties, we may suggest a quick video call or an onsite survey. This helps us confirm the van size, number of movers and any access issues. Most student moves can be assessed via photos or a video walk-through, saving you time and keeping costs down.
You can pack your own belongings, or choose our packing service. If you pack yourself, we’ll advise on suitable boxes and how to protect fragile items. On move day, our trained team brings blankets, straps and covers to protect furniture, mattresses and electronics.
On the day, we arrive at the agreed time, introduce the team, and walk through the property with you. We load systematically, securing everything with padding and straps. Your belongings are transported directly to your new address, with regular updates if it’s a longer journey.
At the destination, we unload into the rooms you indicate – not just to the door. We place furniture where you want it, reassemble basic items if agreed in advance, and take away any used protective materials. We only leave once you are happy everything is in the right place.
We understand students work to tight budgets, so we keep our pricing clear and fair. Typical options include:
Your quote will show what is included: vehicle, fuel, professional movers, protective equipment and travel time. Any potential extras – such as packing materials, additional stops or storage – are discussed upfront so there are no surprises.
Hiring a friend’s car or using a casual man-and-van may seem cheaper, but it often ends up costing more in time, damage and stress. With Man and Van Mitcham you get:
This is especially important if you have to be out of your room by a set time or are travelling a long distance home.
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised industry standards. Our service includes:
We explain how our cover works when you book, and we are happy to talk through any items of particular concern such as computers, musical instruments or specialist equipment.
We treat student belongings with the same care as a full house move. Our teams use furniture blankets, mattress covers and straps to minimise the risk of scratches and knocks. We also aim to operate as sustainably as possible by:
This approach helps keep costs, waste and environmental impact down for everyone.
A typical job involves collecting boxed belongings, a bike, a TV and a small amount of furniture from halls, then delivering to a shared house in a nearby area such as Tooting or Wimbledon. We time the move around key collection and check-out, so you avoid late fees.
We regularly move students from Mitcham and nearby campuses back to family homes across London, Surrey and further afield. We can combine trips for roommates to make it more economical, and we carefully protect items for longer journeys.
Sometimes plans change suddenly – course changes, landlord issues or personal circumstances. Where possible, we offer same-day or short-notice moves in and around Mitcham, subject to availability. We move quickly but safely, keeping you informed throughout.
The cost of a student removal depends mainly on the volume of items, distance travelled, access at each property and whether you need help with packing. Smaller local moves within Mitcham are usually charged at an hourly rate, while longer-distance journeys are often priced as a fixed quote. To keep costs down, try to have everything packed and ready, and consider sharing a van with housemates. We will always give you a clear, written price before you book, with no hidden extras.
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent student moves in Mitcham and nearby areas, particularly outside of peak weekends and end-of-month dates. Our ability to help will depend on van and crew availability, so contacting us as early in the day as possible is important. Even at short notice, we work to the same standards of care and planning. If we can’t fit you in at your requested time, we’ll offer the closest alternative so you can still vacate your room on schedule.
Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle and under our control, and we also carry public liability cover for work on-site. This provides protection against accidental damage or loss, within the terms of our policy. We’ll explain the key points when you book, including any limits or exclusions. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional cover through your own insurer for complete peace of mind.
Our standard student removals service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional driver and move team, basic protective equipment (blankets, straps, covers), loading at the collection address, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you specify at the destination. We can also provide optional extras, such as packing materials, a full or partial packing service, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and trips to storage or recycling centres. Everything that is included and any optional items will be clearly listed on your quote.
While we do operate vans, our approach is closer to a traditional removals company than a casual man-and-van. We provide trained staff, proper handling equipment, fully insured transport and a structured booking and confirmation process. Our teams are briefed on your move in advance, and we take responsibility for planning access, protecting your belongings and keeping to agreed times. You get the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of a smaller move, with the reassurance and professionalism usually associated with larger removals.
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your student removal at least one to two weeks in advance, especially around the end of term, the start of the academic year and popular weekend slots. However, we understand that student plans can change, so we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where we can. Once booked, you’ll receive confirmation of your date, time window and key details, so you can organise check-out inspections and key handovers with confidence.
Moving in or out of a flat in Mitcham comes with its own challenges: tight stairwells, parking restrictions, lift bookings and neighbour considerations. At Man and Van Mitcham, we provide a dedicated flat removals service designed specifically for flats and apartments of all sizes, from studio moves to large multi-bedroom properties.
Our flat removals team has extensive experience handling moves in and around Mitcham. We understand local building layouts, access restrictions and parking rules, which means we plan your move carefully to minimise disruption and delays.
Every move is carried out by a trained, professional crew using the right equipment for flat relocations: protective covers, sack trucks, furniture dollies and tools for safe disassembly and reassembly.
If you are selling or buying a flat in Mitcham, we can manage the full move from packing through to placement of furniture in your new home. We work around exchange and completion dates, and liaise with you to coordinate key times.
Whether you are moving between rented flats or into your first place, we can help you move quickly and efficiently. We are used to working with inventory checks and can provide help dismantling and reassembling furniture without marking walls or floors.
We assist landlords with clearing flats between tenancies, removing old furniture, and setting up new furnishings. Our punctual service helps you turn properties around faster and maintain good relationships with incoming tenants and building management.
For businesses operating from flats or small offices, we offer office and home office removals. We handle desks, chairs, filing cabinets, IT equipment and boxed paperwork with care and discretion.
Students moving into or out of shared flats or halls can benefit from a cost-effective, smaller-scale flat removals service. We can move your essentials, including beds, desks and personal belongings, in a single, efficient trip.
Our flat removals service typically covers:
For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded from our standard service:
If you are unsure whether an item can be moved, please mention it during your enquiry and we will advise.
You contact us with your move details: current address, new address, flat size, access information and preferred moving date. We ask a few straightforward questions, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume of goods, access and distance.
For larger or more complex flat removals, we recommend a brief survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit. We assess access (stairs, lifts, parking), the volume of items and any special requirements. This ensures the correct vehicle size, number of movers and time allocation.
On moving day – or the day before, if packing is included – our professional team arrives on time with all necessary materials. We protect furniture with padded covers, wrap delicate items, and use floor and banister protection where needed. If you are packing yourself, we provide guidance on box labelling and safe packing.
We carefully carry items from your flat to the vehicle, working efficiently but never rushing handling. Lift bookings and building rules are respected. Everything is secured in the van using straps and blankets to prevent movement during transit. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are transporting them.
At your new flat, we unload items and place them in the rooms you specify. We can reassemble beds and other agreed furniture so you can settle in quickly. We take away our packing materials and leave communal areas tidy, minimising disturbance to neighbours.
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are typically based on:
You will receive a written quotation setting out what is included, any optional extras, and how overtime (if needed) is charged. We discuss everything in advance so you can budget with confidence.
Flat moves can appear simple but often involve awkward staircases, tight corners and strict time windows for access or parking. Moving yourself or hiring an informal man-with-van can lead to delays, damage or disputes over responsibility.
By using a professional removals company you benefit from:
This is particularly important in flats, where damage to corridors, lifts or stairwells can become expensive and strain relationships with neighbours and building management.
Man and Van Mitcham operates to clear standards designed to protect you and your belongings.
Policy details and limits are available on request. We are happy to explain how cover works and what it includes so you can make an informed decision.
We treat every flat as if it were our own home. Floors, doorways and banisters are protected wherever necessary, and we take care not to disturb neighbours more than required. Our vehicles carry clean protective blankets and covers at all times.
We are committed to a more sustainable approach. Wherever possible we reuse strong packing materials, minimise unnecessary trips and plan routes efficiently. If you wish, we can remove used boxes for reuse or recycling after your move.
Most of our work involves helping people move from one flat to another within Mitcham or nearby areas. We manage everything from parking suspensions to key handover times, keeping the day running smoothly.
We regularly relocate small businesses and home offices operating from flats, ensuring continuity of work by scheduling moves outside core operating hours where possible.
Circumstances change and sometimes you need to move quickly. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day flat removals, scaling the team as needed to meet tight deadlines while still working safely and carefully.
The cost of a flat removal depends on the size of your property, the volume of items, access, distance and any extra services such as packing. A small studio move within Mitcham may be completed in a few hours, while a larger two- or three-bedroom flat will take longer and require a bigger team. We provide tailored quotes after a short discussion or survey, so you only pay for the resources your move genuinely needs. There are no hidden fees, and all charges are explained in advance.
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice flat removals, depending on availability. If your plans have changed unexpectedly, contact us as soon as possible with the details of your move. We will check vehicle and crew availability and advise what is realistically achievable within your timeframe. Even for urgent moves, we still follow a structured process, assessing access and item volume so we send the right size vehicle and team. This helps avoid delays and ensures your belongings are moved safely and efficiently.
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we also carry public liability cover. Insurance is there to provide peace of mind in the unlikely event that something goes wrong. We pack and handle items carefully to minimise risk, and any issues are dealt with promptly and fairly. If you have particularly high-value items, let us know during the quote stage so we can confirm cover levels and suggest any additional protection if needed.
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture, boxes and household items between properties. We protect furniture, use covers where needed, and place items in the rooms you specify. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials, and dismantling and reassembly of common flat-pack furniture. We can also offer clearance of unwanted items by prior arrangement. During your enquiry, we confirm precisely what you need so your quotation clearly lists everything that is and is not included.
A casual man-and-van service often focuses mainly on transport, with limited assistance, no formal insurance and little planning. Our professional flat removals service provides a trained team, suitable equipment, planned timings and documented insurance cover. We take responsibility for protecting your belongings and the property, including communal areas and lifts. We also offer packing, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and clear communication throughout. This level of service significantly reduces stress, risk of damage and the chance of disputes over what is or is not included.
To secure your preferred date and start time, we recommend booking as soon as you know your likely move date, especially for weekends and month ends which are usually busiest. Many customers book two to four weeks in advance, but we can often accommodate shorter notice if our schedule allows. Even if your completion date is not fully confirmed, it is worth getting a provisional booking and quotation in place early so that we can hold capacity and adjust timings with you if needed.
When you need to move today, you need a removals team that can genuinely respond the same day, stay calm under pressure and protect your belongings as if they were their own. At Man and Van Mitcham, our same day removals service is designed for urgent, last‑minute and emergency moves across Mitcham and the surrounding areas.
Our same day removals in Mitcham are a full, professional service – not just a man with a van turning up at short notice. Subject to availability, we can provide:
Every job is carried out by a professional, trained team with suitable vehicles, moving blankets, straps and basic tools for dismantling and reassembly where agreed in advance.
We are based in Mitcham and work here every day. We know the one‑way systems, parking restrictions, loading bays and busiest cut‑throughs. That local knowledge is critical when timing is tight.
Because we are genuinely local, we can often:
When you are already under time pressure, not having to explain Mitcham’s layout and parking to your movers is a real advantage.
Chain completion brought forward? Exchange and completion on the same day? We regularly help homeowners who have had a last‑minute date change or need extra vehicles at short notice to finish a move on time.
Tenancy ending today, landlord needing the keys back, or a new flat suddenly becoming available? Our same day removals are ideal for tenants on tight deadlines who still want a fully insured, careful move rather than a rushed DIY effort.
We assist landlords and agents with urgent clearances, rapid turnarounds between tenancies, and removal of abandoned items. We work neatly, label items where requested and can liaise directly with your office to confirm completion.
From small offices and shops to one‑room studios, we help businesses handle short‑notice relocations, urgent equipment moves and quick clearouts. We understand downtime costs money, so we plan to keep disruption to a minimum.
Students often get room changes, end‑of‑tenancy dates and new contracts confirmed late. Our same day student removals service is ideal for moving between halls, house shares and storage with minimal fuss and no need to rope in friends with cars.
If you are unsure, tell us during your enquiry. Same day does not mean cutting corners – we still work within professional standards and legal requirements.
Call or message us as early as you can. We will quickly ask about both addresses, access (stairs, lifts, parking), the size of the job and your time constraints. Based on this, we provide a clear, no‑obligation price indication and confirm whether we can cover it the same day.
For most same day moves, we carry out a rapid virtual survey via photos, video or a short video call. For larger properties in Mitcham, if time allows, we may pop round. The aim is to ensure we send the right size vehicle, the right number of movers and any necessary equipment.
On same day moves, customers usually have most items already boxed. Where agreed, we can provide a packing service or partial packing for fragile items. We bring moving blankets, shrink wrap and floor protection as required to safeguard your property.
Our trained team plans the loading order so items are protected and the van is used efficiently. Furniture is wrapped or blanket‑protected, strapped securely and checked before departure. We use suitable routes based on real‑time traffic to keep your move on schedule.
At the destination, we unload items into the rooms you specify and place furniture where you want it, within reason. If dismantling/reassembly has been agreed, we complete that work before we leave, tidy up any packing materials we brought and do a final walk‑through with you.
Same day work is more demanding to schedule, but our pricing remains clear and fair. We typically charge either:
Factors that affect your quote include:
All charges are explained before the job is confirmed, so you know exactly what is included and what may incur additional time or cost.
Attempting a same day move with borrowed vehicles and friends might seem cheaper, but it is often more stressful, slower and riskier. Our professional service offers:
When time is short, any mistake can have knock‑on effects. A professional team reduces that risk significantly.
Man and Van Mitcham operates to proper removals industry standards. We carry:
Our team members are trained in safe handling, loading and basic furniture protection. We log jobs, confirm details in writing and encourage customers to highlight any high‑value or delicate items so we can give them extra attention.
Even on same day moves, we do not compromise on care. We:
We also aim to work more sustainably by:
Completion dates can move suddenly. We regularly step in when another company has let a client down or when dates change at the last minute. Our Mitcham base means we can often respond quickly and still deliver a smooth, organised move.
Commercial tenants sometimes have to vacate premises immediately due to lease issues, building problems or short‑notice opportunities. We can move workstations, files and equipment efficiently, helping you get back up and running with minimal disruption.
From tenants who have left items behind to urgent pre‑sale clearouts, we assist with removal of furniture and belongings, separating reusable items from waste where possible and ensuring properties are left tidy and ready for the next stage.
Costs depend on the size of your move, access at each property, distance travelled and how much help you need with packing or dismantling. Smaller, local jobs may be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while full property moves are often priced as a fixed quote. Same day work can be slightly higher than pre‑booked moves due to scheduling pressure, but we always provide a clear price before you commit so there are no surprises on the day.
We do our best to accommodate genuine emergencies, but same day availability depends on our existing schedule, team capacity and vehicle availability. Calling as early as possible gives us the best chance to help. Even if we are fully booked for a full removal, we may still be able to offer a partial move, additional vehicle, or an evening slot to get you out of your property on time and complete the rest the following day if required.
Yes. Your belongings are covered under our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to standard terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for work on your premises. We ask you to highlight any high‑value, fragile or irreplaceable items so we can handle them with extra care. For particularly high‑value items, you may also wish to check your own home insurance to ensure you have any additional cover you feel is necessary.
Our service includes a vehicle of suitable size, a trained removals team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We provide blankets and straps to protect and secure your belongings in transit. Where agreed in advance, we can also offer packing assistance, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and limited disposal of unwanted items. Parking charges, congestion or clean air zone fees, and extended waiting times may be chargeable, but these will be explained clearly when we confirm your booking.
While we do operate vans, we are a professional removals company rather than a casual man‑and‑van. That means we are fully insured, use trained staff, maintain our vehicles properly and follow structured procedures for handling, loading and paperwork. We plan the job, bring the right equipment and allocate enough time and manpower to complete it safely. With a casual service, you may have little protection if something goes wrong; with us, your move is treated as a formal, accountable service.
For same day work, contact us as early as you know you need to move – ideally first thing in the morning. The earlier you call, the more options we can offer in terms of time slots and team size. For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance where possible, but we understand that is not always realistic. Even if you are unsure of timings, getting in touch early allows us to pencil you in and adapt as your situation develops.
At Man and Van Mitcham we provide a reliable, fully managed man with van service for homes and businesses across Mitcham and surrounding areas. Run by experienced local movers, we focus on careful handling, punctual arrivals and clear communication from first enquiry to final item placed.
Our service sits between a small casual van hire and a full-scale removal. You get an experienced, professional moving team with the flexibility of a smaller operation. Ideal for anything from one-bedroom flats to light office moves.
Your crew will load, protect, transport and unload your belongings, placing items into the rooms you specify so you can get on with unpacking and settling in.
We work in Mitcham every day, which means we understand local roads, traffic patterns, parking restrictions and building layouts. Whether you're moving from a flat near Mitcham Junction, a house off London Road, or a business unit on the industrial estates, we plan routes and timings around real-world conditions, not guesswork.
Our local knowledge helps with:
If you're upsizing, downsizing or moving within Mitcham, our man with van team can handle full or partial household moves. We regularly move furniture, appliances, boxes, garden items and more, taking care to protect both your old and new properties.
From studio flats to shared houses, renters often need a flexible, cost-effective move. We work around lift access, stairwells and limited parking, and can often coordinate directly with letting agents or landlords when keys and timings are tight.
Landlords use our man with van service for clearing properties, moving in or out furniture packs, and quick turnarounds between tenancies. We treat your items and your property carefully, keeping wear and tear to a minimum.
Small offices, shops and trades rely on our professional crews for relocating equipment, stock and furniture. We can work outside normal hours by arrangement to minimise downtime and disruption to your customers.
Students moving between halls, shared houses or back home benefit from our straightforward, budget-friendly approach. We can group smaller loads, help with carrying to and from upper floors, and make sure your belongings are protected in transit.
If you're unsure about a particular item, mention it during your enquiry and we will confirm what is possible and how best to handle it.
Contact us by phone or online with your addresses, dates and a brief list of items. We'll ask a few practical questions about access, parking, floors and any especially bulky or fragile pieces. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
For larger moves, we may suggest a quick virtual survey via video call or, if needed, a short onsite visit. This allows us to confirm the amount of goods, assess access and choose the correct van size and team. Accurate surveys reduce the risk of delays or additional costs on the day.
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a packing service by prior arrangement. Either way, on moving day our team brings blankets, straps and protection materials. We advise you to: clearly label boxes, dismantle flat-pack items where practical, and disconnect appliances before we arrive, unless we've agreed to handle this.
Our trained movers carefully load your belongings, placing protective blankets and securing everything with straps. We work methodically, balancing speed with safe manual handling techniques. Once loaded, we take the most efficient route, keeping you informed of our estimated arrival time.
On arrival, we unload and place items into the rooms you choose, not just at the front door. We listen to your instructions on layout and take care to avoid scuffs or damage to walls, doors and floors. Before we leave, we check that everything from our inventory has been delivered.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our man with van service is usually charged either as a fixed price for the whole job or an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, depending on what suits your move best.
Pricing takes into account:
Your quote will state what is included so you know exactly what you're paying for. Any potential extra charges, such as waiting time due to key delays, will be explained in advance.
Hiring a cheap, unregulated van or doing it yourself can seem attractive, but often costs more in time, stress and potential damage. As a professional removals operator, we bring:
In contrast, casual operators may lack insurance or training, leaving you exposed if something goes wrong. With us, your belongings and your property are treated with the care you'd expect from a reputable local firm.
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised industry standards.
Details of cover levels and any exclusions are available on request. We encourage you to tell us about any particularly fragile or high-value items so we can advise on the best approach.
Your belongings are handled as if they were our own. We use padded blankets, straps and floor protection where necessary, and we plan the loading order to minimise movement in transit. Corners, doorways and stair rails are checked and protected if needed.
We also keep sustainability in mind:
Many clients use our man with van service for full moves within Mitcham or to nearby areas. For smaller properties, it can be more efficient and affordable than a large removal lorry, while still giving you professional support and protection.
Small offices and local businesses rely on us when changing premises or reconfiguring their space. We move desks, chairs, IT equipment and boxed files, coordinating around your trading hours to keep interruption to a minimum.
Sometimes moves cannot wait – a last-minute key release, a tenant changeover or an urgent clearance. Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or next-day man with van support in Mitcham, with clear time windows and realistic expectations on what can be achieved.
Costs depend on the size of your move, access, distance and how many movers you need. Smaller jobs may be priced by the hour with a minimum booking period, while larger moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. To provide an accurate figure, we ask for addresses, a list of items and any access details such as stairs or parking restrictions. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional charges, like delays caused by key release issues, are discussed with you in advance.
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Mitcham, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Smaller moves and single-item collections are more likely to be available at short notice. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as possible with your details and we will let you know what options we have, including realistic arrival windows. Where we cannot help directly, we will be honest about it rather than overpromising.
We provide goods in transit insurance for items we carry, as well as public liability cover for our work at your property. This means your belongings are protected while in our care, subject to policy terms and any agreed limits. We still handle everything with great care, using blankets and straps, to minimise the chance of any damage. We recommend that you point out especially fragile or high-value items in advance so we can plan extra protection or discuss any specific requirements.
Our standard service includes a suitable van, fuel, a trained moving team, loading at your current address, transport to your new property and unloading into the rooms you choose. We also bring basic protection such as blankets and straps. Additional services, like packing, dismantling and reassembling furniture, or supplying boxes and materials, can be added by prior arrangement. Your written quote will clearly list what is and isn’t included so you know in advance what to expect on the day.
A professional removal service offers trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper equipment and structured planning. Casual man-and-van operators may not have insurance, formal training or the resources to handle issues if something goes wrong. With us, you get written confirmation of your booking, clear pricing, and a team that works methodically to protect your belongings and property. For anything more than a very small move, this often works out better value, reducing the risk of damage, delays and repeat trips.
For weekend or month-end moves in Mitcham, we recommend booking at least two weeks ahead to secure your preferred time. For weekday or smaller moves, a few days’ notice is often sufficient, but availability can change quickly during busy periods. If your dates are not fixed, we can pencil in a provisional booking and confirm once your plans are finalised. We will always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests, but early booking gives you the widest choice of dates and times.
At Man and Van Mitcham, our man and a van service is designed for people who want a reliable, professional move without the cost or complexity of a large removals crew. Whether you are moving a studio flat, a few bulky items, or a small office, we provide a local, fully insured solution that’s efficient, careful and straightforward.
Our service is a flexible, smaller-scale removals option. You get an experienced driver-mover with a well-maintained van, plus extra porters if required. We handle:
Every job is planned to minimise disruption and protect your belongings from start to finish.
We are a Mitcham-based removals company, not a distant call centre. That means we know:
Because we work in and around Mitcham every day, we can realistically advise on timings, access and the best vehicle size for your move. This local knowledge reduces delays and helps keep costs fair.
Ideal for smaller house moves, downsizing, or moving a selection of larger items into storage. We can carefully transport furniture, appliances, garden equipment and more, protecting both your old and new property.
Perfect for tenants moving between rental properties in Mitcham and the surrounding areas. We’re used to tight stairwells, lift restrictions and timed key handovers, and we can work around inventory check-ins and check-outs.
Landlords use our professional service to clear properties between tenancies, move furniture between units, or deliver new beds, sofas and white goods. We work efficiently and can coordinate with your agents or cleaners.
For small offices, shops, salons and clinics, our man and a van option offers a cost-effective way to relocate furniture, stock, files and IT equipment. We can move you out of hours to minimise disruption to your trading.
Students moving to or from halls, shared housing or back home benefit from a straightforward, budget-friendly service. We can handle luggage, boxes, bikes, small furniture and electronics with the same care as a full move.
If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask during your enquiry and we will confirm what is possible and how best to handle it.
You can contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: addresses, dates, size of move and any special requirements. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on your information, including our hourly or fixed-rate pricing and any additional services you might need.
For anything more than a couple of items, we usually recommend a brief survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Mitcham. The survey allows us to check access, estimate the volume accurately and identify any awkward or heavy items, so we send the right van size and number of movers.
You can pack your own belongings, or use our packing service for an additional charge. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can still provide quality boxes and packing materials. On moving day, we protect larger items with blankets, covers and wrapping as needed.
Our trained team loads your items carefully, securing everything in the van to prevent movement during transit. We plan the route in advance, taking into account traffic and access at both ends. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are with us.
On arrival, we unload your items into the rooms you specify. We place furniture where you want it, so you are not left lifting heavy pieces later. Before we leave, we do a quick walk-through with you to ensure everything has been delivered and positioned as agreed.
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our man and a van service is typically charged either:
The price depends on factors such as:
All costs are explained in writing before you book, so you know exactly what you will pay on the day.
Hiring a casual van or asking friends might seem cheaper, but it often comes with risk and stress. A professional service like ours offers:
In many cases, people end up making multiple trips with a self-drive van, or damaging furniture and walls. Our experienced team helps you avoid those problems and complete the move in one organised effort.
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. That is why we maintain:
We treat every job, however small, with the same level of care and attention. Our teams arrive in uniform, respect building rules and keep you informed at each stage of the move.
We aim to move your items safely while keeping our environmental impact as low as practical. Our approach includes:
We handle your possessions as if they were our own, taking time to protect delicate surfaces, wrap fragile items properly and secure loads inside the van.
Many of our customers are moving between flats or small houses in Mitcham. A man and a van is often all that is needed, especially for one or two-bedroom properties, saving you money compared with a large removals crew.
We regularly move local businesses between serviced offices or retail units. Desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment are loaded systematically so that you can get set up quickly in your new space.
Sometimes plans change at short notice – a tenancy start date moves, or you need storage cleared urgently. When our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or next-day man and a van bookings in Mitcham and nearby areas, subject to availability.
Costs depend on the size of your move, the distance travelled and how many movers you need. For smaller jobs, we usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period; larger moves may be quoted as a fixed price. Factors like stairs, long carries, parking restrictions and dismantling can affect the total. Once we know the details, we give you a clear written quote with no hidden extras, so you can compare it fairly with hiring a van or other providers.
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Mitcham, especially for smaller moves or single-item collections. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job, so it is always best to call as early as possible. If we can fit you in, we will give you a confirmed arrival window and price straight away. If your timing is flexible, we may be able to offer off-peak slots that work out more cost-effective.
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also carry public liability cover for work in and around your property. This protection is designed for normal removals risks, not for cash, jewellery or high-value collectibles, which we recommend you move personally. We are happy to explain the key points of our cover in plain language before you book, so you understand exactly how your belongings are protected on the day.
Our standard service includes a professional driver-mover, a suitable van, loading, transport and unloading to the rooms of your choice. We supply removal blankets and securing straps as standard, and we protect larger items during handling. Optional extras include additional movers, packing materials, full or partial packing, and basic dismantling or reassembly of furniture. We confirm precisely what is included in your quote, so you know what we will do and what you are responsible for before moving day.
We operate as a professional removals company, not a one‑man side job. That means trained moving teams, fully insured cover, properly maintained vehicles and clear booking confirmations. We plan access, bring the right equipment and follow safe lifting practices. Casual operators may be cheaper upfront but often lack insurance, reliability and experience with complex moves. Our approach is to offer a fair price while giving you the reassurance that your belongings and property will be treated with care from start to finish.
For weekend or month-end moves, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, as those dates fill quickly. For weekday and smaller jobs, a few days’ notice is often enough, and we will always try to help with last-minute requests. The earlier you contact us, the more choice you will have over dates and times, and the easier it is to plan parking and access. Once you are ready, we confirm your booking in writing with all agreed details.
Moving home in Mitcham or the surrounding areas? At Man and Van Mitcham, we provide organised, low‑stress house removals carried out by experienced, professional movers who treat your belongings as if they were our own. From small flats to large family homes, we handle the planning, packing, lifting and transport so you don’t have to.
We know Mitcham inside out – from one‑way streets and parking restrictions to the best routes at busy times. That local knowledge means we can plan your move precisely, avoid delays and protect your neighbours’ access. Whether you are moving within Mitcham, across London or further afield in the UK, our team will build a move plan around your property, your access, and your timings.
Our service is designed to be flexible, so it works for almost any type of move:
Whether you need a full pack and move, or just careful loading and transport, we’ll tailor the service to your situation and budget.
We can move almost everything you’d typically find in a home, including:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our standard service:
If you are unsure about specific items, mention them during your enquiry and we’ll confirm what’s possible and how best to handle them.
Everything starts with a simple enquiry. You can call, email or fill in our online form with your addresses, rough inventory and preferred dates. We’ll discuss your needs, timings and access points (stairs, lifts, parking). Based on this, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote outlining what’s included, any optional extras and likely timeframes. There are no hidden charges; any potential additional costs are explained upfront.
For most house moves we recommend a short survey, either virtual (video call and photos) or onsite. This allows us to:
A proper survey means we can quote accurately and turn up fully prepared on move day.
We offer flexible packing options:
We use quality boxes, wrapping paper and protective covers for mattresses, sofas and TVs. Furniture can be dismantled and reassembled where required, agreed in advance.
On move day we arrive on time, introduce the team and walk through the property with you before lifting a single item. Floors, bannisters and doors are protected as needed. We then load the vehicle in a logical order, securing items with straps and blankets to minimise movement. Your belongings are transported directly to your new address in our well‑maintained, appropriately sized vehicles, covered by our goods in transit insurance.
At your new property we unload carefully, placing boxes and furniture into the rooms you specify. We’ll reassemble any items we dismantled as agreed, and we are happy to adjust furniture positions within reason. Before we leave, we invite you to walk around and check that everything is where it should be and that you are satisfied with the move.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are typically based on:
Your written quote will explain exactly what’s included so you can compare like for like. If your requirements change before move day, just let us know and we’ll update the quote transparently.
Hiring a professional house removals company offers real benefits over doing it yourself or using a casual man‑and‑van:
For most people, the cost difference is more than justified by the time saved, reduced stress and lower risk of damage.
Man and Van Mitcham operates to clear, professional standards so you can move with confidence. We carry:
Our teams are trained in safe handling, loading techniques and customer care. We follow industry best practice for wrapping, stacking and securing loads. If you have items of particularly high value, let us know so we can discuss appropriate handling and any additional cover required.
We take pride in moving your belongings carefully and responsibly. To protect your items and the environment, we:
Our aim is to deliver a smooth move while minimising waste and avoiding unnecessary damage – to your possessions, your property and the planet.
Whatever your situation, we’ll listen, plan and deliver a move that fits your timescale and budget.
The cost depends mainly on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, distance travelled and the level of service you choose. A small flat move within Mitcham will naturally cost less than a large family home moving across the country. After a quick discussion and, where appropriate, a survey, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras. If your inventory or access changes before move day, we’ll update the price transparently so you always know where you stand.
Yes, we can often help with same‑day or short‑notice moves in and around Mitcham, depending on existing bookings and crew availability. If you’re in an urgent situation, contact us as early as possible with your addresses, rough inventory and ideal times. We’ll be honest about what we can achieve, suggest practical options, and may offer extended hours or additional movers where needed. While short‑notice work is subject to availability, we do our best to accommodate genuine emergencies and tight deadlines.
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover. These policies are designed to protect you in the unlikely event of significant damage or loss caused by us during the move. We still handle everything with great care to avoid needing to use insurance at all. For particularly high‑value or unusual items, tell us in advance so we can confirm cover details and advise whether any extra protection is recommended.
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture, boxes and household items between the agreed addresses. We protect items with blankets and use covers for key pieces such as mattresses and sofas. By arrangement, we can also provide packing services, supply materials, and dismantle or reassemble furniture. Parking planning and basic move coordination are always included. Your written quote will specify precisely what is covered so you can see what you’re paying for and decide whether to add optional services.
A casual man‑and‑van is usually just transport and a bit of lifting, often without formal training or proper insurance. Our house removals service provides a professional team, suitable vehicles, fully insured cover, protective materials and planned loading. We carry out surveys where needed, confirm timings in writing and work to recognised standards. That means fewer surprises, less risk of damage and a smoother move overall. For a full house move, especially with stairs, heavy furniture or tight access, a professional removals service is almost always the safer, more efficient option.
We recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed move date, particularly if you are moving at month‑end, on a Friday or during school holidays when demand is higher. Many customers book two to four weeks in advance, which gives time for a survey, packing plans and any parking arrangements. That said, we understand completions can be last‑minute, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we’ll have with dates and times.
At Man and Van Mitcham, we provide a reliable, well-organised man and van service for moves in and around Mitcham and South London. As a locally based removals team with years of hands-on experience, we handle everything from small flat moves to full house and office relocations with care, planning and proper protection for your belongings.
Our man and van service is a flexible, cost-effective alternative to a full-scale removals crew, while still giving you a professional, well-equipped team. Typical jobs include:
Every van carries removal blankets, straps and basic tools so we can move your items safely and efficiently.
Working daily in Mitcham means we understand local roads, parking restrictions and access issues across areas such as Mitcham Junction, Figges Marsh, Pollards Hill and the surrounding postcodes. We plan routes to avoid congestion where possible and advise on parking suspensions or building access so moving day runs smoothly.
Our local knowledge helps particularly with tight streets, estate access, and multi-storey flats common in the area. If needed, we can liaise with building managers or neighbours ahead of time to minimise disruption.
Ideal for smaller homes or when you are moving a portion of your belongings, perhaps clearing a garage, moving into temporary accommodation or taking items into storage. We can coordinate with other trades or your main removals company if required.
Perfect for tenants moving between flats or houses in Mitcham and across London. We are used to working around lift access, permit parking and tight stairwells, making sure your landlord’s property and your belongings are protected.
We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, part-furnished moves and transporting furniture between properties. We work discretely and efficiently, and can often offer short-notice appointments when needed.
Small and medium local businesses use our man and van service for internal moves, relocating small offices, moving stock and equipment, and delivering items to clients. We can schedule out-of-hours or weekend moves to minimise downtime.
Students moving to or from Mitcham and nearby universities appreciate our flexible scheduling and clear pricing. We regularly move boxed belongings, desks, beds and personal items between halls, shared houses and storage facilities.
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some things we do not transport, including:
If you are unsure about a particular item, ask us in advance and we will advise on options.
You contact us with your move details – addresses, dates, property type and what needs to be moved. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume of goods, access, distance and any additional services you need, such as packing.
For anything more than a very small job, we recommend a brief virtual or onsite survey. This lets us check parking, staircases, lift access and item sizes. Accurate surveys mean the right size van, enough staff and realistic timings, helping to keep your costs down and avoid surprises on the day.
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service at an additional cost. Our team use double-walled boxes, bubble wrap and wrapping paper, and we can dismantle simple furniture where necessary. We label items clearly by room to make unloading easier at the new address.
On moving day, our trained team arrive on time, walk through the plan with you, and protect key items with blankets and covers. Everything is loaded systematically and secured with straps to prevent movement in transit. We then transport your goods via the safest, most efficient route.
At your new property, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble furniture that we dismantled, and will not leave until you are happy that everything listed has been delivered and placed as agreed.
We keep our pricing simple and transparent. Most man and van jobs are priced either:
Your quote will clearly show what is included: number of movers, size of van, estimated duration, mileage and any optional services such as packing materials, furniture assembly or additional stops. There are no hidden extras, and any potential additional charges (for example, waiting time due to key delays) are explained before you book.
Hiring a professional man and van service offers significant benefits over doing it yourself or using a casual, uninsured operator:
Many people underestimate the time, physical effort and risk involved in moving. Using an established, fully insured service means you have support if something unexpected happens.
As a responsible removals provider, we maintain appropriate insurance and operate to consistent standards:
We handle your belongings as if they were our own, using suitable protection for furniture, doorways and floors. Full details of cover are available on request, and we are happy to discuss any high-value or fragile items before the move.
We aim to move your belongings safely while reducing environmental impact where we can:
We also pay close attention to property protection, using floor runners and padding in tight areas and taking extra care around freshly decorated surfaces and communal areas.
For smaller homes or partial moves, our man and van service is a practical choice. We regularly help clients moving between flats in Mitcham and neighbouring areas, or transporting selected items to storage ahead of a larger move.
Local businesses use us for moving offices, shifting surplus furniture, or delivering equipment between branches. We can work outside normal hours, keeping disruption to your staff and customers to a minimum.
Life does not always run to plan. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day moves for urgent situations such as last-minute tenancy changes, short-notice clearance or emergency storage runs. Contact us as early as possible and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Costs depend on the size of the van, number of movers, distance and how long the job takes. Smaller local moves are often charged by the hour with a minimum hire period, while larger or more complex moves may be priced as a fixed quote after a brief survey. To keep costs down, have your items packed and ready, confirm good access and let us know about any heavy or awkward pieces in advance. We will always give you a clear price before you commit.
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day and short-notice moves. Availability depends on existing bookings, the size of the job and how far we need to travel. If you need urgent help, call us as early in the day as you can with a clear list of items and both addresses. We will quickly confirm whether we can assist, provide an estimated arrival time, and outline any premium charges that may apply for out-of-hours or last-minute work.
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance for items while they are in our vehicle, along with public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. Like all insurance, cover is subject to terms and limits, which we are happy to explain before you book. You should let us know about any particularly high-value or fragile items so we can advise on packing, handling and any extra protection needed. We recommend you also maintain your own home or contents insurance for wider peace of mind.
Our standard service includes the vehicle, a professional driver-mover, and additional movers if agreed, plus loading, safe transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We provide basic protective equipment such as blankets and straps as standard. Optional extras include packing materials, a full or part packing service, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and additional stops for collections or drop-offs. Your quote will clearly list everything included so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
A traditional removals service usually involves a larger crew, bigger vehicles and a more comprehensive approach – ideal for full house moves or sizeable office relocations. A man and van service is more flexible and often cheaper, suited to smaller moves, part-loads or single items. With us, both options are professional and fully insured; the main difference is scale. We will happily advise whether your move is better served by a man and van team or a full removals crew to keep things efficient and cost-effective.
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance for local moves, especially if you need a particular day or time slot. Weekends and month-end dates tend to fill quickest. However, we know that moves are not always confirmed that early, so we also keep some flexibility for short-notice jobs. Even if your dates are uncertain, it is worth contacting us to discuss your plans and pencil in options. We will always be honest about availability and realistic timings.
At Man and Van Mitcham, our dedicated removal van service is designed for safe, efficient moves across Mitcham and the surrounding areas. As experienced local movers, we combine practical know-how, careful planning and fully insured transport to make every move straightforward and stress-free.
Our removal van service in Mitcham is a flexible, fully managed option for people who need more than a basic man-and-van, but not necessarily a huge lorry and full-scale crew. You get a modern, well-maintained van, one or more trained movers, and the right handling equipment for a safe, efficient move.
Whether you are moving a single large item or the contents of a small family home, our Mitcham removal vans are planned to match the size and complexity of your move.
Working day in, day out around Mitcham means we understand local roads, parking restrictions, and building layouts. This local knowledge helps us plan access, avoid delays and choose the right size of van and team.
We regularly operate in areas such as Mitcham Town Centre, Mitcham Junction, Figges Marsh, Pollards Hill, and nearby parts of Croydon, Streatham, Morden and Colliers Wood. If your move involves tight streets, estate access, or timed loading bays, we’ll factor this into your plan and advise on permits where needed.
Our removal vans are equipped to handle a wide range of household and business items, including:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we are unable to transport:
If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask. We can often suggest alternative arrangements, or in some cases move items subject to specific preparation.
You contact us with the details of your move: addresses, property types, key dates and a rough list of items. We’ll ask relevant questions to understand access, floors, lift availability and any awkward or fragile items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote for a removal van and team tailored to your needs.
For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a brief survey. This can be done by video call, photographs, or an onsite visit in Mitcham where appropriate. The survey allows us to check item volumes, stairways, access points and parking. The result is a realistic estimate of time, van size and staff, helping avoid surprises on moving day.
We offer flexible options for packing:
We also advise on dismantling larger furniture and preparing appliances (e.g. defrosting freezers) so everything is ready when our van arrives.
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and key surfaces where needed, and starts loading. Items are wrapped or covered as required and secured in the van using straps and blankets. We load in a planned order, ensuring heavier items are properly positioned and fragile items kept safe. Your goods are then transported directly to your new address in Mitcham or further afield.
At the new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble furniture we dismantled as part of the service and position heavy items like wardrobes and white goods where you want them. Our aim is to leave you with a functional, safe space so you can start settling in straight away.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our removal van costs are usually based on:
You will receive a written quote explaining what is included, so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (for example, extended waiting time due to keys) are explained in advance.
Hiring a van and moving yourself can look cheaper on paper, but in practice it often leads to longer days, multiple trips and a higher risk of damage or injury. With a professional removal van service you gain:
Compared with casual man-and-van operators, we provide planned moves, written confirmations and a higher level of protection for your belongings.
Man and Van Mitcham operates to professional standards expected of a reputable UK removals provider. Your belongings and property are protected by:
We work to agreed arrival windows, use documented job sheets and encourage clear communication throughout. If you have special requirements or high-value items, we can discuss extra precautions as part of your plan.
Every move is handled with care. We use protective blankets, shrink wrap and floor covers where needed to avoid scuffs, scratches and dirt. Furniture and appliances are secured properly in the van to prevent movement and vibration damage.
We also take sustainability seriously. Where possible we:
Our aim is to protect both your belongings and the environment while providing a dependable service.
From studio flats to small family houses, our removal vans are ideal for local and regional home moves. We understand tenancy deadlines, key handovers and the practical realities of moving day, and we plan accordingly.
Businesses in Mitcham rely on us for small to medium office moves, shop relocations and storage clearances. We can work outside normal hours to minimise disruption, carefully handling IT equipment, filing and furniture.
Life does not always give much notice. Where availability allows, we provide same-day or next-day removal van services for urgent situations, end-of-tenancy deadlines or last-minute changes of plan. Contact us as soon as you can; we’ll be honest about what is achievable within the timeframe.
Pricing depends on the size of van and team required, the time your move is likely to take, and the distance between properties. Local moves within Mitcham are often charged on an hourly basis with a minimum booking period, while longer-distance jobs may be priced as a fixed quote. Factors such as stairs, heavy items and packing services can also influence cost. We always provide a clear written estimate in advance, so you know what to expect and can budget confidently.
We do our best to accommodate urgent and same-day requests, especially within Mitcham and nearby areas. Availability will depend on existing bookings, van allocation and staffing for that day. If you need a last-minute removal van, call us as early as possible with full details of your move. We’ll let you know what options we have, give an honest assessment of what can be achieved safely, and confirm timescales in writing once you decide to go ahead.
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to property or third parties. Insurance is subject to standard terms and reasonable packing and preparation. We’ll explain any limits or exclusions relevant to your move in advance. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional documentation or specialist cover, which we are happy to discuss with you before moving day.
Our standard service includes a suitable removal van, fuel, a trained moving team, use of blankets and securing straps, safe loading and unloading, and transport between your addresses. We can add services such as packing, provision of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and disposal of unwanted items by prior arrangement. Your written quote will clearly list what is included so you can compare options and choose the level of help that suits your budget and timescales.
While a casual man-and-van may simply offer a driver and vehicle, we provide a more structured, professional service. This includes trained staff, appropriate equipment, written confirmations, and proper insurance. We carry out surveys where needed, plan access and timings, and handle your belongings with the care expected from a removals specialist. For many customers, this additional reliability, protection and organisation makes a significant difference to how smoothly moving day goes.
For most moves, we recommend booking your removal van at least two to three weeks ahead, especially if you are moving at the end of the month or on a weekend, when demand is higher. However, we understand that exchange and completion dates can change, so we try to remain as flexible as possible. If your move is urgent, contact us even if your date is very close; we will check availability and let you know the best options we can offer.
At Man and Van Mitcham, we provide reliable, well-planned removal services for homes, flats, offices and landlords across Mitcham and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience, we know how to move your belongings safely, on time and with minimum disruption.
Our removal services are designed to take the stress out of moving day. Whether you are relocating a studio flat or a full family home, our professional team manages every stage: from careful packing and furniture protection to secure loading, transport and placement in your new property.
We combine local knowledge of Mitcham’s roads, parking restrictions and property layouts with a highly organised approach. Every move is planned in detail so that access issues, timings and any specific items of concern are dealt with in advance.
Moving to a new house in Mitcham or elsewhere in London? We handle full household removals, including large furniture, white goods, garden items and loft contents. We protect carpets, bannisters and door frames as we work, treating your home as if it were our own.
Flats and apartments often mean tight stairwells, lifts and awkward access. Our team is experienced in complex flat moves, from studio apartments up to large split-level properties. We plan load order carefully, protect communal areas and work efficiently to keep within booked time slots.
We support landlords and agents with tenant changeovers, part-clearances and full property clear-outs. We can remove old furniture, move in new items and help prepare properties for new tenants, always working respectfully in occupied or shared buildings.
For business customers, we carry out office and small commercial moves with minimal downtime. Desks, chairs, filing cabinets, IT equipment and stock are handled systematically, labelled and placed exactly where required at the new premises.
Students in Mitcham and nearby areas benefit from efficient, budget-conscious removals. We move belongings between halls, shared houses and family homes, including term-time and end-of-year moves, with flexible dates and smaller vehicle options.
Our standard removal service covers most everyday household and office belongings, including:
We provide furniture blankets, straps and standard protection as part of every move. Optional packing services and packing materials can be added if you prefer us to pack for you.
For safety and compliance reasons, some items are excluded or require prior discussion:
If you have unusual or heavy items, please mention them during your enquiry so we can assess access, manpower and equipment required.
Contact us by phone or online with your moving details: current and new addresses, property type, access information and approximate contents. We’ll ask a few focused questions, then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation explaining what is included.
For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a short survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Mitcham. We assess volume, parking, stairs, lifts and any specialist items so that we can allocate the correct vehicle size, team and time.
You can choose to pack your own boxes or use our packing service. If we pack for you, we supply suitable materials and clearly label boxes by room. Furniture is wrapped and protected, and we can dismantle simple items such as bed frames and tables where required.
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and then loads the vehicle methodically. Items are padded, strapped and secured for safe transport. We use our local Mitcham knowledge to select sensible routes and avoid unnecessary delays where possible.
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. We place furniture where you want it and reassemble anything we dismantled, subject to the agreed service. Before leaving, we invite you to walk around and confirm that everything is where it should be.
Our pricing is clear and straightforward, with no hidden extras. We normally quote based on:
You’ll receive a written quote explaining what is included, any potential extra charges (for example, waiting time or additional collections) and our payment terms. This allows you to budget with confidence and compare like-for-like with other removal services.
Hiring a professional removal company saves time, reduces risk and often works out better value than hiring a van and doing it yourself. Our trained teams know how to move heavy and awkward items safely, reducing the chance of injury or property damage. We bring the right equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools – and we are fully covered by insurance.
DIY or casual man-and-van options may appear cheaper, but they rarely include proper protection, planning or cover if something goes wrong. With Man and Van Mitcham, you benefit from experience, structure and accountability on every move.
We operate to clear, professional standards, giving you peace of mind from start to finish:
We explain our cover limits and conditions clearly as part of your booking, so you know exactly how your items are protected.
We treat your belongings and properties with genuine care. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are protected and delicate items are handled by experienced staff. We use floor and bannister protectors where appropriate and always respect neighbours and shared spaces.
We also consider our environmental impact. Wherever possible, we reuse durable packing materials, reduce unnecessary journeys by planning routes efficiently and encourage customers to recycle or donate unwanted items rather than sending everything to landfill.
From terraced houses near the town centre to larger family homes, we regularly support customers moving within Mitcham or out to surrounding areas. We understand common local issues such as parking permits and narrow streets and plan accordingly.
When a local business needs to relocate, time is critical. We can schedule moves outside normal working hours, label workstations for easy reinstatement and coordinate with IT teams to minimise downtime.
Sometimes moves arise unexpectedly – a last-minute completion, tenancy change or emergency situation. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day removal services in Mitcham, focusing on essential items first and adding further trips if required.
The cost of removal services depends mainly on the volume of your belongings, the distance between properties and how complex access is at each end. Small flat moves might be charged on a fixed or hourly basis, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a set price. Additional services such as packing, dismantling or extra stops can affect the total. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear, itemised quotation so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.
Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice removals in Mitcham, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. Urgent moves work best when you can provide clear details quickly and remain flexible on timing. For smaller flat or student moves, we can usually respond faster than for full house or office relocations. If you need an urgent service, contact us by phone so we can check availability immediately and advise what is realistically possible on the day.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we carry and public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. This insurance applies while we are handling, loading, transporting and unloading your belongings, subject to our terms and conditions. We’ll explain key exclusions and cover limits in advance so you can decide whether you need any additional insurance of your own. As with any policy, items must be properly packed and declared, and we recommend that you personally transport highly valuable or irreplaceable items where possible.
A standard removal service includes loading your furniture and boxes, protecting items with blankets and straps, transporting them to your new address and unloading into the rooms you specify. Basic dismantling and reassembly of straightforward furniture can often be included if agreed in advance. Packing materials and full packing services, disposal of unwanted items and storage runs are typically charged as add-ons. We outline exactly what is included in your quote so there is no confusion on the day and you can choose any extra services you need.
A basic man-and-van service generally provides transport and some lifting, but may not include proper planning, protection or insurance. Our professional removal service uses trained staff, suitable vehicles, protective equipment and structured methods for loading and unloading. We survey your move, allocate the right team, manage timings and provide clear documentation. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings. For small, simple jobs a casual service might be enough, but for most home and office moves, a professional removal company offers far greater peace of mind.
We recommend booking your removal as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you are moving at the end of the month, during school holidays or at weekends. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal for larger moves, as it gives time to arrange surveys, parking and any additional services such as packing. However, we do our best to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Even if your date is not yet fixed, it’s worth contacting us early to discuss likely timing and options.
At Man and Van Mitcham we provide secure, flexible storage for customers who need space between moves, during renovations, or simply to declutter. As a local, experienced removals company, we combine professional moving services with safe, well-managed storage so your belongings are protected from the moment we collect them to the day you need them back.
Our storage service is designed for people who want a straightforward, fully managed solution. We collect your items, wrap and protect them, load them safely, and place them into secure storage facilities. When you are ready, we deliver them back to your new address anywhere in Mitcham or across the UK.
We provide:
We are a Mitcham-based team with years of experience moving and storing belongings for local residents and businesses. We know the local streets, access restrictions, parking rules, and building layouts, which makes collections and deliveries smoother and quicker.
Our crews regularly handle storage moves from:
Perfect if you are between sale and purchase dates, renovating, or staging your home for sale. We can remove non-essential furniture and boxes into storage, giving you extra space and peace of mind.
Whether you have a gap between tenancies or are moving into a smaller property, our storage service keeps your belongings safe without long-term commitments. You only pay for the space and time you need.
We help landlords store furniture and appliances during refurbishments or when switching between furnished and unfurnished lets. Our professional teams can clear a property quickly and return items later when required.
From excess stock and seasonal displays to office furniture and archive boxes, our storage solutions are suitable for businesses of all sizes. We can coordinate collections outside office hours to minimise disruption.
Students often don’t want to move everything home during summer or term breaks. We offer budget-friendly storage with collection and return, so you are not hauling belongings on public transport or hiring your own van.
We can safely store most household and office contents, including:
For your safety and ours, we cannot store:
If you are unsure about a particular item, please ask – we will advise on what can be stored and how best to protect it.
You contact us with details of what you need to store, your current address, access details and likely storage duration. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage, and re-delivery options.
For larger moves or full households, we recommend a short video or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volume, access, parking and any special items. Accurate surveying helps us provide the right vehicle, the right crew and correct storage space, avoiding surprises on the day.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team uses high-quality materials – boxes, bubble wrap, paper, mattress covers and furniture blankets – to protect your belongings. We label items clearly for easy retrieval and organised re-delivery.
On collection day our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and banisters where needed, and carefully carries items to the van. Everything is wrapped and secured using straps and blankets to prevent movement during transit. We then transport your goods directly to our partnered secure storage facility.
At the storage facility we unload, stack and secure your items to maximise space while keeping them accessible. Containers or units are locked, monitored and protected. When you are ready, we schedule delivery, reverse the process and place items into the correct rooms at your new property.
We believe in clear, realistic pricing so you know exactly what you are paying for. Our storage costs are based on:
There are no hidden extras – all costs are set out in your written quote. If your requirements change, we can often adjust your storage space to keep costs sensible.
Hiring a cheap van and using a random self-storage unit may look cheaper at first glance, but it often isn’t once you factor in time, risk and the potential cost of damage.
With Man and Van Mitcham you benefit from:
For many customers, the peace of mind and time saved far outweigh the small difference in cost compared with DIY solutions.
Your belongings are important, and we treat them as such. We operate to high professional standards and carry appropriate cover for our work.
We are always happy to explain what is and is not covered and can provide proof of insurance on request. For very high-value or specialist items we can discuss additional cover or recommend appropriate alternatives.
We aim to handle every storage job carefully and responsibly. That means:
Our goal is to return your items in the same condition we collected them, while working in a way that is as efficient and sustainable as practical.
Many Mitcham clients sell their property before their new home is ready. We collect the full contents, place them into storage, then deliver everything once completion takes place, keeping only essentials with you in the interim.
Businesses use our storage service when refurbishing offices, changing layouts or moving to new premises. We can clear the workspace, store furniture and equipment, then return and reinstall once works are complete, minimising disruption to daily operations.
Sometimes notice is short – tenancy issues, relationship changes or urgent refurbishments can require a rapid clear-out. Where possible we provide same-day or next-day collections into storage, keeping your belongings safe while you decide your next step.
Costs depend mainly on how much you store, how long for, and how complex the collection and delivery are. We typically price by volume and duration, with separate charges for collection and redelivery. Packing services and materials are optional extras. Once we know what you are storing and where from, we provide a clear written quote so you can see all charges upfront. There are no hidden fees, and we are happy to suggest ways to reduce space and cost, such as better packing or dismantling furniture.
Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day storage collections in Mitcham and nearby areas. Urgent bookings depend on crew and vehicle availability, so the earlier you call, the better. For last-minute situations, we focus on the essentials first – safely clearing and protecting your belongings – and can return later for additional items if needed. Let us know your timescales and we will give an honest answer on what is achievable that day.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance when our crews are moving your belongings to and from storage. The storage facilities we use are secure, monitored and designed for long-term protection of goods. Our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to property while we are working on-site. As with any insurance, there are limits and exclusions, which we are happy to explain. For very high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional specialist insurance to ensure full protection.
Our standard service includes professional collection from your property, loading, transport to storage, and careful unloading into a secure unit or container. We provide protective blankets and basic wrapping for furniture as part of the service. Optional extras include a full or part packing service, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and later redelivery from storage to your new address. We tailor the service to your needs, so you can choose a simple collection or a fully managed end-to-end solution.
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited or no protection, planning or insurance. You are often responsible for packing, lifting, and arranging separate self-storage. With us, you get trained staff, proper equipment, insured transport and access to secure storage facilities. We handle the planning, lifting, and logistics, so you are not left juggling multiple providers or risking damage to your belongings. This is especially important for full households, offices, and long-term storage arrangements.
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as you know you will need storage – ideally one to three weeks in advance. This is particularly important during busy periods such as month-end and summer. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. If you are unsure of exact dates, we can often hold a provisional slot and confirm closer to the time.
At Man and Van Mitcham we provide a dedicated Packing and Boxes service for homes and businesses across Mitcham and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on moving experience in London, we know that careful packing is what makes the difference between a smooth move and a stressful one. Our trained team, quality materials and organised process keep your belongings safe from the moment we arrive to the moment the last box is unpacked.
Our packing service is designed to remove the hard work and risk from preparing for your move. We supply all the packing materials and removal boxes you need and our team carefully packs, labels and prepares your items for transport.
We use strong double-walled cartons, specialist wardrobe boxes, TV and picture protection, bubble wrap and furniture blankets. Every box is labelled clearly by room and contents so that unloading and setting up at your new property is straightforward and efficient.
Based in Mitcham, we understand local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts, from period houses around Cricket Green to flats near Mitcham Junction. This local knowledge helps us plan the right box sizes and packing approach, whether you are on the ground floor or the top level of a purpose-built block.
Our team regularly supports moves in and around Mitcham, including Colliers Wood, Tooting, Morden, Streatham and Croydon, so we know how to protect items during busy city journeys and tight stairwells.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we handle everything from fragile ornaments and family heirlooms to garden tools and garage contents. Our packing service keeps your home move organised and stress-free.
If you are moving between rented properties, we help you leave your current home in good condition and avoid breakages that might affect deposits. We can often pack and move smaller rented flats in a single, well-planned day.
Landlords use our service when clearing or setting up properties. We can pack existing contents, store them if needed, or prepare boxes of furnishings ready for new tenants.
Our team can pack entire offices, shops or workspaces, including files, IT equipment, stock and furniture. We use a structured labelling system to minimise downtime and keep operations running smoothly.
Students moving to or from halls and shared houses benefit from our smaller, flexible packing options. We can provide a set number of boxes and materials, or a fully packed solution if you are on a tight schedule.
For safety and insurance reasons, we are unable to pack:
If you are unsure whether something can be packed, we will advise during your survey or before moving day.
You contact Man and Van Mitcham with basic details: property type, number of rooms, access and preferred dates. We ask a few practical questions about what needs packing, any fragile or high-value items, and whether you require full or part packing. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining the packing service, materials supplied and any associated removals work.
For most moves we carry out a short survey, either via video call or in person. This allows us to assess the quantity of items, specialist packing needs (such as artwork or instruments) and any access issues. The survey ensures we bring the right number of boxes, packing materials and team members on the day, avoiding delays or last-minute changes.
On the agreed date, our trained packers arrive with all materials. We protect floors where needed, then systematically pack room by room. Fragile items are wrapped individually; breakable kitchenware is cushioned; furniture is dismantled if required and protected with covers and blankets. Each box is clearly labelled with room and key contents so you can find essentials quickly at your new property.
If you are using our removal vehicles, once packing is complete we load boxes in a structured order to avoid crushing and movement during transport. Heavier boxes are placed at the bottom, with delicate items secured on top. Our professional drivers then transport everything safely to your new address, using routes that minimise disruption and travel time around Mitcham and beyond.
On arrival, we place each box in the labelled room, so you are not left moving heavy cartons around later. For full-service moves, we also reassemble furniture that we dismantled and position it where you want it. If you have chosen an unpacking service, we can unbox items, remove packaging and leave your new home or office clear and ready to use.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our packing and boxes service is usually costed based on:
We set out all costs in your written quote, including materials, labour and any additional services. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (for example, last-minute changes in scope) are discussed in advance and agreed with you.
Many people begin packing themselves and quickly realise how time-consuming and physically demanding it is. Professional packing offers:
Using a casual man-and-van or doing it all yourself may seem cheaper, but damaged belongings, delays and stress often cost more in the long run. Our professional service is structured, insured and accountable.
Man and Van Mitcham operates to recognised industry standards. We are fully insured for your peace of mind, including:
Our teams are trained in safe handling, packing techniques and property protection. We regularly review our methods and equipment to ensure we continue to deliver a reliable, consistent service across Mitcham and the wider area.
We treat your possessions with respect, as if they were our own. Corners, stair rails and floors are protected where required, and fragile items are wrapped carefully to prevent scratches and impact damage. For larger pieces, we use furniture covers, blankets and straps to keep everything secure.
Sustainability is increasingly important, so we aim to minimise waste. Wherever possible we use recyclable cardboard boxes and encourage re-use on future moves. We can also collect used boxes in good condition for responsible re-use or recycling, helping reduce the environmental impact of each move.
Families and individuals rely on us to pack entire properties, from studio flats to large houses. We often complete full packing the day before moving, so move day runs to schedule and without last-minute panic.
Businesses use our packing expertise to move quickly and securely. We can pack workstations, archive files and stock in a way that allows fast set-up at the new site, reducing downtime and disruption to staff and customers.
Life does not always allow long planning time. When you need to move quickly, our experienced team can step in with short-notice packing support, subject to availability, ensuring that even urgent relocations are carried out safely and in an organised fashion.
Costs depend on the size of your property, the volume of belongings and the level of packing you choose. A small flat with part packing will be less than a full packing service for a large family home. After a brief call and, if needed, a survey, we provide a detailed quote that includes labour and materials, with no hidden charges. You can also choose options such as supply-only boxes, full packing, or packing certain rooms only to suit your budget.
We do our best to accommodate urgent or last-minute packing requests in Mitcham, especially for smaller properties or partial packing jobs. Same-day service depends on team and vehicle availability, as we never compromise on safety or standards. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with details of your property and timescales. We will confirm what we can realistically deliver and provide clear timings so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes. When Man and Van Mitcham carries out the packing and transportation, your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance, subject to policy terms and declared values. We also hold public liability cover, protecting you and your property while we work on-site. We explain the key points of our insurance in plain language before the move. For very high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional cover or specialist handling, which we can help arrange.
Our service typically includes the supply of quality boxes and packing materials, professional packing of agreed items, clear labelling, and preparation of furniture for transport. Where we are also handling the move, we then load, transport, unload and place boxes in the correct rooms. You can choose full packing for the entire property or part packing for specific areas such as the kitchen or fragile items only. Unpacking services and removal of used materials can also be added on request.
Many man-and-van services focus purely on transport, leaving packing entirely to you. At Man and Van Mitcham we provide a structured, professional packing and moving solution. Our team is trained, fully insured and experienced in handling delicate, heavy and awkward items. We use quality materials, plan each job properly and are accountable for the standard of our work. This reduces the chance of damage, delays and disputes, giving you a safer, more reliable move.
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as month-end and summer. This gives time to arrange a survey, plan materials and schedule the right team. However, we know moves are not always predictable, so we will always try to help with shorter notice where we can. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer for dates and service levels.
At Man and Van Mitcham, we provide reliable, well-planned office removals across Mitcham and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving businesses of all sizes, we focus on minimising downtime, protecting your equipment and ensuring your team can get back to work quickly and safely.
Our office removals service is designed around the specific needs of businesses. We handle everything from small office moves for a few staff members through to multi-floor relocations.
We can assist with:
Every move is carefully planned, with clear communication from our office team and our trained, uniformed movers on site.
Operating in Mitcham day in, day out means we understand local traffic patterns, loading restrictions, parking rules and building access requirements. This local knowledge allows us to plan realistic timings, avoid unnecessary delays and coordinate access with building management or concierge teams.
We regularly carry out office moves in business parks, high street premises, industrial units and shared workspaces throughout Mitcham and nearby areas. Our familiarity with the area helps keep your relocation running smoothly from start to finish.
Although this page focuses on office moves, our service is suitable for a wide range of clients in Mitcham:
Whether you are relocating your main office, opening a new branch or consolidating space, we tailor our approach to your priorities and timeframes.
We regularly move:
For safety and compliance reasons, we generally cannot move:
If you have any unusual or high-value items, we will discuss them during the survey so we can plan safe handling or recommend specialist support where needed.
You contact us by phone or online with the details of your office move. We ask key questions about locations, access, volume of items and timescales. Based on this information, we provide an initial, no-obligation estimate, explaining what is included so you can budget with confidence.
For most office removals we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access (stairs, lifts, loading bays), parking, the number of workstations, IT equipment and furniture. A proper survey lets us allocate the right size vehicle, the correct number of professional movers and any packing materials required, and then issue a clear written quotation.
On moving day, or beforehand if agreed, our team can provide:
We carefully wrap monitors, fragile items and furniture to help prevent damage, and label everything clearly so it can be placed correctly in your new office.
Our trained team loads your office contents onto our vehicles using appropriate equipment such as sack trucks and moving straps. Everything is secured inside the van to minimise movement in transit. We then transport your goods directly to the new premises, following a pre-agreed schedule to suit your access times and business needs.
At the new location, we unload items and place them in the right rooms or desk areas as directed. Desks, chairs and furniture are positioned according to your floor plan where possible. We remove any materials we have supplied, leaving your office ready for IT setup and for staff to return to work with minimal disruption.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our office removals are generally priced based on:
You will receive a written quote outlining what is included, so you know exactly what you are paying for before confirming. If your requirements change, we explain any cost implications in advance, not on the day.
Trying to move an office with untrained staff or a casual man-and-van can risk damage, injury and costly downtime. Our professional office removals service offers:
Using professionals helps avoid staff injuries, lost equipment and disruption that can cost far more than the removals fee.
Man and Van Mitcham operates to high professional standards. For your peace of mind, we provide:
We handle your items as carefully as if they were our own, and our team are briefed on confidentiality and respectful behaviour in working office environments.
We focus on careful handling and responsible working practices:
Where clients wish to dispose of unwanted furniture, we can discuss options that prioritise reuse or responsible disposal.
For growing businesses moving to bigger premises, we can phase the move so core staff and departments stay operational. This can include evening or weekend moves to reduce disruption.
We assist companies combining locations or moving to smaller offices by carefully planning what goes, what is stored and what is disposed of, helping you manage the transition efficiently.
Sometimes events such as lease issues or building works mean you must move quickly. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or short-notice office removals within Mitcham, with realistic advice on what can be achieved in the timeframe.
The cost of an office removal in Mitcham depends on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, the distance between locations and the level of service required. Smaller office moves may be charged on an hourly rate, while larger relocations are usually priced as a fixed quote following a survey. We always provide a clear written estimate outlining what is included so you can compare like-for-like with other providers and budget accurately.
We can often accommodate same-day or urgent office removals in Mitcham, particularly for smaller offices, subject to vehicle and crew availability. If you need to move at short notice, we will discuss what is achievable within the time you have, prioritising essential items and key workstations first. While more planning time is always better, we understand that business circumstances can change quickly and will always do our best to provide a practical, honest solution.
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved and our public liability cover protects you and third parties at the premises. Our insurance is designed for professional removals work and offers more appropriate protection than relying on staff or a casual man-and-van. Specific high-value or specialist items should be declared during the survey so we can confirm cover levels and any particular handling requirements.
Our standard office removals service includes supplying a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading, transport and unloading at your new premises. We place furniture and boxes in the areas you specify and can dismantle and reassemble straightforward items if agreed in advance. Optional extras include packing materials, full or part packing, and help with clearing or moving items into storage. Your written quote will set out exactly what is included so there are no surprises on moving day.
A basic man-and-van service typically offers transport and lifting only, often without fully insured cover, detailed planning or trained crews. A professional office removal includes a proper survey, risk assessment, appropriate insurance, suitable equipment and an experienced team used to handling office furniture and IT. This reduces the risk of damage, injury and disruption, and ensures compliance with building rules. For business moves, the additional structure and protection usually represent far better value overall.
For most office removals, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or weekend move. Larger or more complex relocations may benefit from even more notice to allow detailed planning and coordination with building management and IT providers. That said, we do keep some flexibility in our schedule for shorter-notice moves, so if your dates are close, it is still worth contacting us to see what we can arrange.
At Man and Van Mitcham, our man with a van service is designed for anyone who wants a reliable, professional move without the cost or hassle of a full-scale removal lorry. Whether you are moving a few items across Mitcham or relocating a small flat across London, we combine local knowledge, careful handling and efficient planning to make the whole process straightforward.
Our service is a step up from a casual one-man operation. You get a professional, uniformed team, a clean, well-maintained van and all the equipment needed to move your belongings safely.
Our Mitcham man with a van service covers most everyday domestic and office items, including:
To keep everyone safe and comply with regulations, there are some items we do not transport:
If you are unsure about any specific item, just ask when you enquire and we will advise.
Based in Mitcham, we work across the local area every day – from Figges Marsh and Mitcham Common to Colliers Wood, Tooting, Streatham and wider South West London. That local knowledge helps us choose the best routes, avoid bottlenecks and plan sensible loading and parking in busy residential streets and estates.
We understand the layouts of local flats, maisonettes and terraced houses, so we come prepared for narrow stairs, limited access and resident-only parking. If permits are needed, we can advise in advance so moving day runs smoothly.
Contact us by phone, email or online form with a brief description of what you need moved, your addresses and preferred dates. We will ask a few questions about access, floors, parking and the main items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually either a fixed price or an hourly rate depending on the size and complexity of the job.
For straightforward jobs, a detailed phone call or photo / video survey is usually enough. For larger or more complex moves, we can arrange an onsite visit in Mitcham or nearby to assess access, volume of goods and any special requirements. This helps us send the right size van, the right number of movers and the correct equipment on the day.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service at extra cost. Either way, we bring blankets, straps and basic protection as standard. We recommend labelling boxes by room and contents. For fragile or awkward pieces, we can supply additional materials and advise how best to pack. On arrival, our team will quickly walk through the property with you to confirm what is going and what is staying.
Our trained team load the van carefully, using blankets and straps to secure furniture and protect it in transit. Heavy and bulky items are handled with the correct lifting techniques and equipment to avoid damage or injury. We then transport your belongings directly to the destination using sensible routes and realistic travel times, keeping you informed if there are any delays due to traffic.
On arrival, we unload and place items in the rooms you request, not just at the front door. We can reassemble basic furniture we dismantled as part of the move. Before we leave, we invite you to check each room so you are happy everything has been unloaded and positioned where you want it.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no surprise extras on the day. Our Mitcham man with a van service is usually priced in one of two ways:
Your quote will confirm what is included, such as the number of movers, size of van, mileage, and standard protective materials. Any potential extras (such as congestion charges, additional stops or late changes) are discussed clearly in advance so you can budget with confidence.
Hiring a professional man with a van service is often more cost-effective than it first appears. When you factor in van rental, fuel, parking, equipment, time off work and the risk of injury or damage, doing it yourself is rarely the cheaper or easier option.
With Man and Van Mitcham you benefit from:
A casual, unregulated man-and-van may seem cheaper, but if something is damaged or a no-show leaves you stranded, the real cost is higher. A professional service gives you reliability, accountability and proper protection.
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. As a fully insured removals company, we carry:
Our teams are trained in manual handling, safe loading and customer care. We operate well-maintained vehicles, regularly checked and cleaned, and we follow clear procedures for every job so standards remain consistently high.
We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped in blankets, items are loaded securely and fragile pieces are placed where movement and vibration are minimised. We plan moves carefully to reduce unnecessary lifting and trips, which also helps protect both people and property.
Where possible, we use reusable protective materials rather than single-use plastics, and we plan routes sensibly to minimise fuel use. When customers request disposal of unwanted items, we prioritise reuse and recycling options in Mitcham and the surrounding areas.
Perfect for one- or two-bedroom flats, small houses and part-load moves. We can handle everything from a single bulky sofa to your entire flat contents, working around lift access, parking restrictions and tight staircases common in the Mitcham area.
Small businesses use our service to move offices, deliver equipment or transport stock. We can schedule work outside normal hours to minimise disruption and ensure sensitive items such as computers and documents are handled carefully and discreetly.
Life does not always give much notice. Where availability allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice man with a van support across Mitcham and London. This is useful for urgent landlord requirements, last-minute tenancy changes or rapid collection of bulky purchases.
Costs depend on the size of the job, the distance travelled, access at each property and how many movers are required. Smaller local jobs are often charged by the hour, while larger or more defined moves are priced as a fixed quote. To give a fair price, we will ask about your main items, floors, parking and any special requirements. Once we have this information, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you will pay before you book.
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent bookings in Mitcham, depending on existing schedules and vehicle availability. If you need a quick move, call us as early as possible with your details, including what needs moving, addresses and time constraints. We will be honest about what we can do, and if we accept the job, we will confirm pricing and timings upfront. While we cannot guarantee same-day availability every time, we do our best to accommodate genuine urgent requests.
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are in our care and in the vehicle, as well as public liability cover for damage to third-party property or injury. Insurance operates within specific terms and limits, which we can outline when you book. You remain responsible for packing the contents of boxes securely unless you use our packing service. For items of particularly high value, we recommend telling us in advance so we can confirm appropriate cover and handling arrangements.
Our standard service includes a suitable van, one or more professional movers, loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We bring protective blankets, straps and basic tools for straightforward dismantling and reassembly where needed. Quotes include mileage within the agreed journey and normal handling of your listed items. Additional services – such as full packing, extra stops, storage runs or disposal trips – can be added by agreement. Everything that is included will be detailed clearly in your quote so you know what to expect on the day.
A full removals service usually involves larger vehicles, bigger crews and a more extensive package – often including full packing, complex furniture handling and longer-distance moves. A man with a van is typically more suited to smaller properties, partial moves, single items or local relocations. At Man and Van Mitcham, the same professional standards apply to both. The main differences are scale, vehicle size and cost. If you are unsure which option you need, we can advise based on your property size, volume of goods and budget.
For weekend and month-end moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, as these dates fill quickly in Mitcham and across London. For weekday moves or smaller jobs, we can sometimes accommodate shorter notice. The more notice you give, the more likely we can offer your ideal time slot and the best rates. If you have a fixed tenancy end date or completion date, contact us as soon as you know it so we can reserve a van and team for you.
Man and Van Mitcham is one of the trusted removal companies serving Mitcham and the surrounding South London areas. With years of hands-on experience, we provide a reliable, carefully planned removals service for homes, offices and landlords who want the move done properly, not hurriedly.
As a locally based removals team, we understand the streets, parking restrictions and building layouts across Mitcham, Croydon, Tooting and wider South West London. That local knowledge lets us plan each job efficiently, reduce delays and protect your belongings from start to finish.
We operate as a fully equipped professional removals company, not just a casual van service. Every move is scheduled, documented and carried out by trained staff using the right equipment for the job.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Mitcham, we handle full house removals from studio flats to large family homes. We protect floors, door frames and banisters, and can dismantle and reassemble furniture where required.
Moving between rented properties often means tight timelines and deposit checks. We help tenants move quickly and tidily, reducing the risk of damage that could affect your deposit. We are used to top-floor flats, narrow staircases and restricted parking bays.
We support landlords and agents with tenant changeovers, part-removals, and furniture swaps. From clearing out a property after a tenancy to moving in new furnishings, we provide a flexible, reliable service that keeps void periods to a minimum.
Our office and commercial removals are structured to minimise downtime. We move desks, IT equipment, stock, files and archive boxes with clear labelling and agreed floor plans. For small businesses and shops, we can work out of hours or at weekends to avoid disruption.
We offer cost-effective removals for students moving into halls, shared houses or back home. From a few boxes and a mattress to a full room of belongings, we can schedule during busy changeover weekends and provide short-notice help where needed.
Our team regularly moves:
We provide professional trolleys, blankets, straps and protection to keep items stable and secure in transit.
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we normally cannot transport:
If you are unsure about a specific item, please mention it at the enquiry stage so we can advise or make alternative arrangements.
Contact Man and Van Mitcham by phone or online with your move details: addresses, property size, approximate list of items and preferred dates. We will discuss parking, access and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining the service and likely time required.
For larger moves or more complex properties, we recommend a survey. This can be done by video call or an onsite visit in Mitcham and nearby areas. The survey allows us to assess access, volumes and any awkward items such as pianos or very large wardrobes, so we can allocate the right van size and team.
You can choose from:
We use strong cartons, wrapping materials and clearly marked labels. Furniture can be dismantled where required and protected with covers and blankets.
On moving day, our team arrives at the agreed time, carries out a quick walk-through and then begins loading. We load in a planned order, securing items with straps, blankets and ties to prevent movement. Your goods travel in clean, well-maintained vehicles, with route planning that takes account of traffic and access at your new address.
At your new property, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble furniture we dismantled and position heavier items such as wardrobes and appliances. Before leaving, we invite you to walk around and confirm everything is in the right place and undamaged.
We believe in clear, transparent pricing so you know what you are paying for. Our charges typically depend on:
Quotes are agreed in advance, with no hidden extras. If anything changes – for example, you add an extra stop – we explain any additional cost before proceeding.
Hiring a professional removals company is about more than just having a bigger van. Our trained movers know how to lift safely, protect property and handle awkward items without damaging them or your home. With DIY or a casual man-and-van, you carry more risk: injuries, breakages, delays and disputes if something goes wrong. Our service combines planning, correct equipment, goods in transit insurance and public liability cover to give you confidence and legal protection throughout the move.
Man and Van Mitcham operates to professional industry standards to keep your belongings safe.
We document each move, keep clear communication, and use signed job sheets so there is a proper record of the work carried out.
Your belongings and your property are treated with care. We use floor protectors where necessary, door frame covers in tighter spaces and heavy-duty blankets for furniture. Fragile items are wrapped individually and clearly labelled. We are also conscious of our environmental impact: we aim to reuse packing materials where appropriate, recycle used cardboard, and optimise routes to minimise unnecessary mileage and fuel use.
From Victorian terraces to modern flats, we manage house moves across Mitcham and surrounding areas. We are used to residents’ parking zones, timed loading bays and narrow roads, and we plan accordingly.
We support small and medium-sized businesses moving within South London or further afield. We can stagger moves over several days, move departments in phases and work outside normal hours to keep your business running.
Not every move can be planned months in advance. If you have been let down by another company, need to move quickly after a change of circumstances, or must vacate by a fixed date, we do our best to offer short-notice or same-day solutions where capacity allows.
The cost of using a removal company in Mitcham depends on several factors: property size, volume of belongings, distance between addresses, access, and whether you need packing or furniture assembly. Smaller flat moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while full house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. To give an accurate figure, we ask a few questions or carry out a quick survey. All quotes from Man and Van Mitcham are clear, with no hidden extras.
Same-day or urgent removals are sometimes possible, depending on our diary and the scale of the job. For small flat or student moves, we can often respond at short notice if we have a team and vehicle available. Larger house or office moves usually require at least some planning time. If you need to move urgently, contact us as early as you can with full details. We will be honest about what we can achieve safely and may suggest phased moves if appropriate.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our care and on our vehicles, subject to policy limits and conditions. We also carry public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property or injury for which we are responsible. We explain the main points of cover before the move, including any exclusions or valuation limits, and can advise if you have particularly high-value items that may need additional protection.
Our standard removals service includes a vehicle of suitable size, a professional team of movers, loading and unloading, basic protection with blankets and straps, and transport between your addresses. We can add services such as packing, supplying boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembling furniture, and additional stops for storage or key collection. During the enquiry stage, we talk through exactly what you need so the quote matches the service and there are no surprises on moving day.
A basic man-and-van is usually a transport-only service with limited planning and little or no insurance. A professional removal company like Man and Van Mitcham provides trained staff, correct equipment, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and a structured process. We plan loading, protect your property, and take responsibility for the overall move, not just driving from A to B. For small, simple jobs a basic van may be enough, but for most home and office moves, a proper removals service offers far better protection and peace of mind.
Ideally, you should book your removal company as soon as you have a firm moving date, especially if you are completing on a property purchase. For peak times such as Fridays, month-ends and summer holidays, two to four weeks’ notice is recommended to secure your preferred slot. That said, we regularly handle moves with shorter lead times. Even if your date is not confirmed, it is worth contacting us early so we can pencil you in and advise on availability and options.
At Man and Van Mitcham, we provide straightforward, reliable removals across Mitcham and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience in South London moves, we handle everything from small flat moves to full family homes and business relocations. Our local team is fully insured, carefully trained, and focused on making your move as calm and organised as possible.
Working in Mitcham every day means we understand local roads, parking restrictions, and building layouts. From Victorian terraces and maisonettes off London Road to modern apartments and business premises near Mitcham Junction, we know how to plan access, protect communal areas and keep disruption to a minimum.
We regularly coordinate with building managers, landlords and concierge teams to arrange parking, lift usage and safe loading. This local knowledge saves time on moving day and reduces the risk of delays or damage.
Whether you are moving from a house in Mitcham Common or upsizing to a larger property nearby, we manage complete household moves. We can dismantle and reassemble furniture, protect flooring, and ensure key items – such as beds and appliances – are prioritised so you can settle in quickly.
We support tenants moving between flats, house shares and studios. Our team is used to tight staircases, top-floor flats and time-limited loading bays. We work carefully to help you leave the property in good condition, reducing the risk of disputes over your deposit.
For landlords, we offer professional removals for end-of-tenancy clearances, part-furnished changes and furniture swaps between properties. We work to your timelines and can coordinate directly with tenants or agents if needed, keeping the process simple.
Local businesses in Mitcham rely on us for office and commercial removals. We handle desks, IT equipment, stock and archive materials with organised labelling and careful loading. We can work out of hours or at weekends to minimise downtime and disruption to your staff and customers.
Students moving into or out of halls and shared houses often need a flexible, cost-effective service. We offer smaller load student removals for a single room or shared flat, with options to combine transport and packing where needed.
Our standard removals service in Mitcham can be tailored to your needs, but typically includes:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our standard removals service:
If you are unsure about a particular item, let us know during your enquiry so we can advise or arrange a suitable solution.
You contact us with the details of your move: addresses, property types, dates, and a rough list of items. We ask a few focused questions to understand volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with a breakdown of what is included.
For larger moves or more complex properties, we recommend a survey. This can be a video call walk-through or an onsite visit in Mitcham. We assess volume, note awkward items (pianos, large wardrobes), and check access points. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle, team size and time, avoiding surprises on the day.
You can choose between:
We advise on decluttering, labelling and preparing appliances to make moving day smoother.
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and protects key areas such as hallways and doors. We load systematically, securing items with straps and covers inside the van. Your belongings are transported directly to your new property in our well-maintained vehicles under goods in transit insurance.
At the new address, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it and reassembling agreed items. We check that all listed items have been delivered and that you are happy with the placement before we leave. Any packaging materials from a full packing service can be collected later by arrangement.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:
For straightforward moves, we may offer a fixed price. For smaller or more flexible jobs, an hourly rate can sometimes be more cost-effective. All charges, including any potential parking or congestion-related costs, are discussed in advance so you know exactly what to expect.
Hiring a professional removals team in Mitcham can save you time, stress and ultimately money. With DIY or casual man-and-van options, it is easy to underestimate how long loading takes, how much space you need, or how to protect items correctly. This can lead to breakages, injuries or multiple trips.
Our team uses the right equipment, packing methods and lifting techniques, reducing the risk of damage to your belongings and your properties. We are also fully insured, so you have proper protection if something unexpected happens – something most informal options cannot offer.
Man and Van Mitcham operates to clear, professional standards for every move:
We handle your belongings as if they were our own, with documented processes for loading, securing and unloading to maintain consistent standards on every job.
We take care to minimise both damage and waste during your move. Furniture is wrapped in padded blankets, and fragile items are cushioned and clearly marked. We protect walls, bannisters and floors where needed, especially in communal areas.
Where possible, we use reusable covers, blankets and crates to cut down on single-use materials. Cardboard boxes are sourced responsibly, and we encourage re-use or recycling after your move. If you would like us to collect used boxes, just ask – we are happy to help you dispose of them responsibly.
From one-bedroom flats to four-bedroom houses, we regularly handle full household moves in and around Mitcham. We coordinate key handover times, manage parking, and ensure essential items are delivered and set up first so you can feel at home as quickly as possible.
For businesses, we plan moves in detail to reduce downtime. This might include labelled crates for departments, careful handling of IT equipment, and phased moves so parts of your operation can remain open. We are flexible about early starts, evenings and weekends.
Life does not always go to plan. If you face an urgent move due to a change of circumstances, last-minute completion, or landlord requirements, we will do our best to provide a fast, organised response. Same-day or next-day availability is sometimes possible, depending on our schedule. Contact us as soon as possible to discuss your options.
The cost of removals in Mitcham depends on the volume of items, distance, access and any extra services such as packing. A small flat move locally may be priced on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. During your enquiry we ask detailed questions, or arrange a survey, so we can give you an accurate, written quote with no hidden extras. This way you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.
We can sometimes accommodate same-day or very short-notice removals in Mitcham, depending on our existing bookings and the size of your move. Smaller jobs are easier to schedule at short notice, while larger house or office moves usually require more planning. If you need an urgent move, call or email us with as much detail as possible – addresses, dates, rough volume and any access issues. We will quickly confirm what is realistic, outline costs and timings, and help you decide on the most practical solution.
We provide goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, along with public liability cover for our work at your properties. These policies are designed for professional removals and offer more structured protection than informal arrangements. Policy limits and any exclusions will be explained clearly when you book, and we are happy to answer specific questions about high-value items. For items of exceptional value, additional cover or special packing may be recommended to give you full peace of mind.
A standard removals service includes a trained team, an appropriately sized vehicle, careful loading and unloading of agreed items, and transport between your addresses. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble common items such as beds and tables by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of packing materials and help with furniture protection. Our quote will state clearly what is and is not included so you can see exactly what you are getting and add extras if you need them.
A basic man-and-van is often suitable for very small, simple jobs, but for most home or office moves a professional removals service offers important advantages. We carry specific insurance, use trained staff, and follow planned procedures for packing, lifting and securing loads. We also survey your property where needed, provide written quotes and turn up with the right equipment and vehicle size. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected extra trips. In practice, a well-organised professional move is usually more efficient and better protected than a casual alternative.
We recommend booking your Mitcham removal as soon as you have a clear moving date, especially for Fridays and month-end, which are often busiest. For most home moves, two to four weeks’ notice is ideal and gives us time to plan access, parking and any packing services you require. That said, we understand that dates can change, and we aim to be flexible where possible. If your move is last-minute, contact us anyway – we will always check our schedule and try to find a practical option.
