At Man and Van Fitzrovia, we provide careful, efficient furniture removals across Fitzrovia and the surrounding central London areas. With years of hands-on experience moving everything from single items to full flats and offices, we know how to protect your belongings, your property and your time.
Our Fitzrovia furniture removals service is designed for city living. Tight staircases, permit parking, loading restrictions and fragile furniture are everyday challenges we handle calmly and efficiently. Every move is planned around your building access, lift size, parking and timings so the day runs smoothly.
We supply the right vehicle, tools, and an experienced, trained team who know how to dismantle, wrap, carry and reassemble furniture safely. From Georgian conversions to new-build apartments and busy offices, we work quietly and respectfully around neighbours, concierges and building rules.
Working in Fitzrovia day in, day out means we understand local streets, loading bays and restrictions. We plan routes around congestion and arrange parking where needed to keep your move on schedule.
Whether you are moving from a top-floor walk-up near Charlotte Street or into an office space off Oxford Street, we bring the right number of movers and the right equipment to deal with narrow stairwells, limited lift access and busy roads.
If you are upsizing, downsizing, or renovating, we move full households or selected furniture items with care. We protect floors, bannisters and doorways and ensure furniture arrives in the same condition it left.
Flat and apartment moves in Fitzrovia often involve tight access and time pressures. We’re used to dealing with building managers, lifts, and move-in slots, making your end-of-tenancy move as straightforward as possible.
We help landlords clear or refurnish properties quickly between tenancies. From removing old, damaged pieces to installing new furniture packs, we work efficiently to minimise void periods.
Our office furniture removals cover desks, chairs, storage, reception furniture and meeting room sets. We can dismantle and reassemble, label items by department, and work out of hours to reduce disruption.
Students moving to or from Fitzrovia halls or shared houses benefit from a cost-effective, reliable service for beds, desks, wardrobes and a few boxes, rather than paying for a full-size house move.
We regularly move:
For safety and insurance reasons, we cannot move:
We may need extra planning for very high-value antiques, oversized items, pianos or items needing cranes or specialist equipment. Mention these during your enquiry so we can advise properly.
You contact us with your collection and delivery addresses, a rough inventory of furniture, and your preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining what is included. Where possible, we flag any parking or access considerations up front.
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a short virtual or onsite survey. This lets us see access, stairs, lifts and larger items that may need dismantling. It helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures we send the right team, vehicle and materials.
You can choose from:
On the day, we carefully wrap furniture with blankets, covers and, where needed, shrink wrap or corner protection to avoid scuffs and scratches.
Our professional team loads your furniture in a controlled order, securing everything using straps and ties. We balance the load to prevent movement in transit. Vehicles are clean, well-maintained and suitable for central London work, with the right equipment onboard for dismantling and reassembly.
On arrival, we unload systematically and place each piece of furniture where you want it in the new property. We can reassemble beds, wardrobes and desks we dismantled, and will not leave until you are happy with the final layout.
We price our Fitzrovia furniture removals based on:
We provide clear, itemised quotes with no hidden extras. Additional charges, such as congestion or parking fees, are explained before you book. For smaller jobs, we may offer simple hourly rates with a minimum booking time, so you only pay for the time you actually need.
Attempting furniture removals yourself or relying on a casual man-with-a-van can lead to damage, delays and unnecessary stress. Professional removers bring experience, lifting techniques and insurance that informal options lack.
Our trained teams know how to manoeuvre large items without damaging walls or bannisters, and how to load safely to avoid breakages. We arrive with tools, blankets, covers and trolleys, and we are fully insured, giving you protection that DIY or informal help cannot provide.
Man and Van Fitzrovia operates to clear professional standards for every move.
We are happy to outline our cover levels and terms at quotation stage so you know exactly where you stand. For particularly high-value items, we can discuss additional precautions or specialist support.
We treat your furniture and property as if it were our own. Floors, doorways and bannisters are protected where necessary; furniture is wrapped and secured properly; and we plan moves to minimise the risk of damage at every stage.
We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact where possible. We reuse quality moving blankets and reusable covers, can supply durable packing crates on some jobs, and aim to consolidate journeys to cut unnecessary mileage. Where furniture is being disposed of, we prioritise reuse and proper recycling over landfill whenever we can.
From studio flats to larger homes, we handle full household furniture moves, often within the same building or across central London. We coordinate closely with you, your agent and any concierge to ensure keys, parking and lift access are all aligned.
Businesses rely on us to move workstations, meeting room furniture and storage with minimal downtime. We can move in phases, work evenings or weekends, and label items clearly so everything ends up in the right place.
Things do not always go to plan with leases, completions or deliveries. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day furniture removals in Fitzrovia, helping you deal with last-minute changes, failed deliveries or urgent clearances.
The cost depends on how much furniture you have, access at both properties, and the distance between addresses. Smaller flat moves or single-item jobs may be charged on an hourly basis, while larger household or office moves are usually priced with a fixed quote. To give an accurate price, we ask for a list of key items and details of stairs, lifts and parking. All quotes are clear and transparent, with any congestion or parking charges explained before you confirm your booking.
Yes, subject to availability we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Fitzrovia and nearby areas. Our schedule is busiest at weekends and month-end, so the more notice you can give, the better. For urgent moves, call us with as much detail as possible – addresses, key items, access and timing. We will tell you honestly what we can achieve that day, the team size available, and provide a clear cost before you decide whether to proceed.
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your furniture while it is in our vehicles, along with public liability cover for accidental damage to property. As with any policy, there are limits and exclusions, which we are happy to outline before you book. We always recommend you tell us about any especially high-value or fragile pieces so we can take extra precautions and confirm they are adequately covered, or discuss whether additional specialist cover is advisable.
Our standard service includes a suitably sized vehicle, a trained moving team, protective blankets and equipment, loading at the collection address, safe transport, and unloading and placement of your furniture at the destination. We can also offer optional services such as dismantling and reassembly of beds and wardrobes, packing of smaller items, and short-term storage by arrangement. During quotation, we make it clear exactly what is included so you can compare like-for-like with other providers and avoid any surprises on the day.
A casual man-and-van usually offers transport only, with limited equipment and often no insurance or formal training. A professional removals service, like ours, provides experienced staff, proper wrapping materials, tools for dismantling and reassembly, and full insurance cover. We plan routes, manage parking, and assess access in advance. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and extra costs. For valuable or bulky furniture – especially in central London buildings – a professional service offers far greater protection and peace of mind.
For the best choice of dates and times, especially on Fridays, weekends and at month-end, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. However, we understand that moves are not always predictable, so we do our best to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Even if your dates are not yet fixed, it is worth contacting us early so we can advise on availability, give you a guide price, and pencil in provisional plans that can be finalised once your move date is confirmed.
When you need to move today, Man and Van Fitzrovia provides fast, organised and fully insured same day removals across Fitzrovia and the surrounding Central London areas. As a local, experienced removals team, we specialise in short-notice moves that are handled calmly, safely and professionally from first call to final box.
Our same day removals service is designed for urgent situations where you cannot wait days for a removals slot. We allocate dedicated vehicles and trained movers who can respond quickly, assess your requirements, and get you moved with minimal disruption.
You benefit from:
Operating as Man and Van Fitzrovia, we know the area’s streets, parking restrictions and building layouts extremely well. That matters on same-day jobs, where poor planning wastes time and increases stress.
Our local knowledge includes:
This local expertise allows us to arrive prepared, position our vehicles correctly and complete your move quickly and safely, even at very short notice.
If your completion date has changed unexpectedly or you need to vacate your property sooner than planned, we provide rapid support. We carefully protect furniture, appliances and valuables, ensuring a smooth move even under tight deadlines.
Whether your tenancy is ending today, you have a last-minute notice, or you simply left organising the move too late, we handle quick flat and house moves across Fitzrovia and Central London, including difficult staircases and restricted access buildings.
For urgent clearances between tenancies or following an unexpected departure, we offer efficient same day removals of furniture, white goods and belongings, helping you prepare the property for new tenants quickly and professionally.
We support small offices, shops and studios needing rapid relocation or internal moves. From desks and chairs to IT equipment and archive boxes, our professional team moves your items safely, helping to reduce downtime and disruption.
Students in and around Fitzrovia often need fast moves between halls, private rentals or storage. We offer budget-friendly same day options ideal for smaller loads, including luggage, books, clothing, small furniture and study equipment.
Our same day removals service usually covers:
For safety and compliance reasons we cannot move:
If you are unsure about any specific item, we will clarify what is possible when you contact us.
Call or message us as early as you can. We will ask a few focused questions about your addresses, access, volume of items and timing. Based on this, we provide a clear price estimate and confirm whether we can complete the move the same day. There are no hidden extras – we explain what is included before you book.
For most same day moves in Fitzrovia, we carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or video. This lets us assess parking, staircases, lifts and the size of your move. For larger properties or complex access, we may arrange a rapid onsite visit if time allows. The survey helps us allocate the right vehicle, number of movers and equipment.
We can offer: self-packed moves, where your items are already boxed, or assisted packing for urgent situations. Our team brings blankets, straps and basic packing materials as standard. We protect furniture, disassemble simple items where necessary, and ensure everything is safe to travel, even if the move has been organised at the last minute.
On arrival, our trained team loads efficiently but carefully, working systematically through each room. We use protective blankets and securing straps to minimise movement in transit. Your belongings are then transported directly between addresses wherever possible, using planned routes that account for Central London traffic and restrictions.
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble straightforward furniture that we dismantled and place larger pieces where you want them, so you can start settling in straight away. Before leaving, we check that everything has been unloaded and positioned as agreed.
Same day removals in Fitzrovia are priced fairly and transparently. Costs typically depend on:
We normally work on a fixed price for the agreed scope of work, so you know the cost in advance. For smaller or more flexible jobs, an hourly rate may be appropriate. Either way, we explain the structure clearly and confirm all charges before you book.
Attempting a same day move on your own, or with an informal man-and-van, often leads to delays, damage and unnecessary stress. A professional removals service offers:
With Man and Van Fitzrovia, you get the responsiveness of a smaller firm combined with the standards and care you would expect from a dedicated removals company.
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:
Details of cover and any limits or exclusions are available on request. We are always happy to clarify how insurance applies to your particular move.
Speed does not mean cutting corners. Even on same day bookings, we focus on protecting your property and the environment:
We aim to deliver a service that is both efficient and considerate – to you, your belongings and your neighbours.
Completion dates can shift unexpectedly. We regularly help Fitzrovia homeowners and tenants who suddenly need to move a day or two earlier than planned. Our team steps in quickly, organises a realistic schedule and keeps the move on track, even where time is tight.
Small businesses and creatives often face last-minute lease changes or building works. We handle fast relocations of desks, stock, studio equipment and archives, helping you get set up in your new space with minimal interruption to your work.
In more urgent situations – such as emergency repairs, water leaks, or legal deadlines – we provide calm, structured support. Our focus is on securing belongings, moving them safely, and giving you clear communication throughout a stressful day.
Pricing depends on the size of your move, access, distance and the level of service you need. Smaller flat or student moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full household or office moves are usually quoted at a fixed price. Same day bookings can carry a premium, especially at peak times, but we always explain costs clearly before you commit. Once we understand your requirements and have done a quick survey, we will give you a transparent quote with no hidden extras.
We do our best to accommodate genuine same day requests in Fitzrovia, but availability depends on our schedule, crew capacity and vehicle allocation. Contact us as early as possible, ideally first thing in the morning, and we will quickly confirm what we can realistically achieve that day. If a full move is not feasible on the same day, we may offer a partial service, such as moving essentials first, or an early next-day slot. We will never overpromise or accept a job we cannot complete properly.
Yes. Our same day removals are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your items while they are being transported, and public liability cover for work in and around your property. As with any policy, there are limits and exclusions – for example, we recommend that valuables such as jewellery, cash and important documents are moved personally. We are happy to explain the cover in detail before you book, so you understand exactly how your belongings are protected.
Core services include a suitable vehicle, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We also provide standard protective equipment such as blankets and securing straps. Optional extras can include packing assistance, simple furniture disassembly and reassembly, and disposal of unwanted items by arrangement. When you contact us, we will confirm exactly what is included in your quote, so there is a clear understanding of the service you will receive on the day.
A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, low-risk jobs, but they often lack formal training, insurance and structured processes. Our service provides trained movers, fully insured vehicles, proper equipment, and clear planning – especially important for same day moves where there is little margin for error. We assess access, protect your belongings, and take responsibility for completing the job safely and efficiently. In practice, this reduces the likelihood of damage, delays and disagreements about cost or scope.
By definition, same day moves are short notice, but the earlier you contact us on the day, the more options we have. Ideally, get in touch first thing in the morning with key details and photos or a video of your items. If you suspect you may need a same day move in the coming days, a provisional discussion can also help us plan capacity. Even if your situation develops suddenly, calling as soon as possible gives us the best chance of accommodating your move properly.
Moving home in Fitzrovia or nearby and want it handled properly from start to finish? At Man and Van Fitzrovia we provide a complete house removals service, carried out by experienced, professional movers who work carefully, efficiently and with respect for your belongings and your property.
We’re a local, independent removals company with years of hands-on experience moving people in and out of period conversions, mansion blocks and modern apartments across Fitzrovia and central London. Every move is planned, protected and fully insured, so you can focus on settling into your new home.
Fitzrovia brings its own challenges: tight staircases, residents’ parking bays, one-way systems and time-restricted loading. Because we work here every day, we understand:
This local knowledge helps us keep moves on schedule and reduce stress on the day. We’re used to liaising with building management, concierges and neighbours to ensure your move is smooth and respectful.
Our Fitzrovia house removals service is tailored for:
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or moving out of London, we can handle full household moves including furniture dismantling, packing and setup at your new property.
Ideal if you’re moving between rented flats or house shares. We work carefully to avoid damage to walls, floors and fittings, helping you leave the property in good condition for your deposit return.
We assist with end-of-tenancy clearances, part-removals and furniture moves between properties, always working efficiently and tidily to minimise void periods.
If you’re relocating a home office or running your business from home, we can move desks, IT equipment, stock and files with appropriate protection and labelling.
Moving into or out of student accommodation in central London? We offer smaller, budget-friendly removals for personal belongings, clothes, books, and basic furniture.
We can tailor the service to your needs, from a simple load-and-go to a full pack and move. Typically, our house removals cover:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we generally cannot move:
If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll advise during the quotation or survey so there are no surprises on moving day.
Contact Man and Van Fitzrovia by phone or online with your move details: addresses, property sizes, access notes and preferred dates. We’ll discuss your requirements and provide an initial estimate or arrange a more detailed survey for a fixed price. All quotes are clear and itemised so you know exactly what’s included.
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a short survey. This can be virtual (video call and photos) or onsite, depending on your preference and schedule. We assess volume, access, any dismantling required and any special items. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle, team and time, and to confirm a firm price.
You can choose between:
We can dismantle beds, wardrobes and other furniture as needed and protect carpets, banisters and doors if required.
On moving day our trained team arrives promptly, carries out a quick walk-through with you and then begins loading. Furniture is wrapped and protected, boxes are stacked safely, and everything is secured in the vehicle. We then transport your belongings directly to your new address using suitable, well-maintained vehicles covered by goods in transit insurance.
At your new property, we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them. On request, we can reassemble dismantled furniture and position large items like wardrobes and appliances. Before we leave, we’ll do a final check with you to ensure nothing is missing and you’re happy with the layout.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
You’ll receive a written quotation with no hidden extras. Parking charges, congestion and ULEZ costs will be clearly shown where applicable. For smaller jobs we may work on an hourly rate; for full home moves we usually agree a fixed price so you can budget with confidence.
Hiring a professional house removals company is about more than convenience. Compared to DIY or informal man-and-van options, you benefit from:
Many clients start out considering a DIY move and realise that, by the time they factor in van hire, fuel, parking, lost time and stress, a professional service offers far better value and peace of mind.
Man and Van Fitzrovia operates to clear, professional standards for every move:
We’ll happily explain our cover levels and conditions before booking so you know exactly how your items are protected.
We treat your home and possessions as if they were our own. That means:
We also aim to work in a more sustainable way by:
Our goal is a well-organised move that minimises waste as well as stress.
If you’re upgrading from a studio to a one-bedroom flat a few streets away, we can complete the move in a single day, including dismantling and reassembling furniture, handling all stairs, and protecting shared hallways.
For families moving from Fitzrovia to outer London or elsewhere in the UK, we plan timings carefully, coordinate with both sets of keys and ensure everything arrives the same day whenever possible.
Sometimes moves are short notice due to work, tenancy changes or personal circumstances. Subject to availability, we can often provide same-day or next-day support for smaller properties, keeping the service calm and controlled despite tight timescales.
The cost depends on how much you’re moving, the distance between properties, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and the level of service you choose. Smaller flat moves within Fitzrovia may be charged on an hourly rate, while full house moves are usually quoted at a fixed price after a survey. To give you an accurate figure, we’ll ask for details or arrange a quick virtual or onsite visit. All quotes are clear, with any potential extras explained in advance.
Yes, subject to availability. We regularly help with last-minute and short-notice moves, especially smaller flats and student moves in and around Fitzrovia. If you need to move urgently, contact us as early in the day as possible with your locations, rough inventory and preferred timings. We’ll check our schedule, suggest realistic options and confirm costs before you commit. While advance booking is always recommended, we do our best to accommodate urgent requests safely and professionally.
We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they’re being transported in our vehicles, plus public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or injury caused by our work. As with any insurance, certain exclusions and limits apply, which we’re happy to explain before you book. For particularly high-value or specialist items, we may recommend additional cover or alternative arrangements to ensure you’re fully protected and comfortable with the arrangements.
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your household goods between the agreed addresses, with basic protection for furniture and careful placement in the correct rooms. At your request, we can add packing services, supply of materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, disposal of unwanted items and short-term storage. Your written quote will specify exactly what’s included so there’s no confusion. We can also tailor the service on the day within reason, if your needs change slightly.
A casual man-and-van service often provides transport only, with limited planning, less protection and no formal insurance. Our house removals service is structured: we survey where needed, plan vehicle size and access, use trained staff, provide insurance cover and take active steps to protect both your belongings and your property. We also offer packing, dismantling, reassembly and clear communication throughout. For a full household move, this professional approach usually results in a smoother, safer and ultimately better-value experience.
For a typical flat or house move in Fitzrovia, we recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, ideally 2–4 weeks in advance. This gives us the best chance of offering your preferred day and time, particularly at month-end and weekends, which are often busiest. However, we understand that dates can change, so we’ll work with you if timings need to be adjusted. If your move is sooner, still get in touch – we often have gaps we can fill at shorter notice.
Moving to or from university accommodation in Fitzrovia can be stressful, especially if you do not have a car or much spare time. At Man and Van Fitzrovia, we provide a dedicated student removals service designed around tight budgets, small loads and busy schedules, while still offering a professional, fully insured move.
Our student moves focus on getting your belongings safely between halls, shared houses, studio flats and storage with minimal disruption. Whether you are arriving in London for the first time, changing accommodation mid-year, or heading home for the summer, we make the process straightforward and predictable.
We know Fitzrovia’s streets, parking restrictions and building layouts well, so we can plan loading and access in advance and keep your move on schedule.
Although this page focuses on students, the same careful approach benefits a range of clients in Fitzrovia:
We regularly move:
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, we normally cannot move:
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, just ask when you enquire and we will advise.
Contact us by phone, email or online form with your moving date, addresses, rough inventory and any access details (lifts, stairs, parking). We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on volume, distance and any extra services you may need, such as packing. For smaller student loads we can often quote immediately.
For most student moves, a quick virtual survey (photos or a short video call) is enough to confirm volume and access. For larger shared houses or part-house moves we may suggest a brief onsite visit. This helps us allocate the right van size, number of movers and time slot so your move runs smoothly.
You can pack your own belongings into boxes and bags, or choose our packing service for added convenience. If we pack, we bring suitable boxes, wrapping and tape, and label items for each room or housemate. We protect fragile items with bubble wrap or paper and secure electronics and screens individually.
On the day, our trained team arrives on time, talks through the plan and confirms what is going where. We protect key items with moving blankets and straps, and load in a logical order so unloading is faster at the other end. Your belongings are then transported directly between addresses in a clean, well-maintained van with goods in transit insurance.
At your new accommodation or storage unit, we unload items into the rooms you specify. We place furniture where you want it and stack boxes safely so you can unpack in your own time. Before leaving, we check you are happy that everything on the inventory has arrived and is where it should be.
Student budgets are tight, so we keep our pricing straightforward and transparent. Costs are typically based on:
We explain all charges in advance, with no hidden extras for stairs or standard walking distances. Where possible, we offer shared runs for students moving similar routes, which can reduce the cost further. Written confirmations are provided so you know exactly what to expect.
Hiring a professional removals team is not just about convenience. Compared with borrowing a friend’s car or using a casual man-with-a-van, you benefit from:
By using a reputable removals company, you reduce the risk of damage, delays and last-minute cancellations that can happen with informal arrangements.
Man and Van Fitzrovia works to clear professional standards on every job:
We are used to working around building rules, loading bays and time slots in Fitzrovia and the surrounding areas, and we always aim to leave communal areas clean and unobstructed.
Your belongings may not all be expensive, but many have strong personal or academic value. We treat them accordingly. Furniture and larger items are wrapped or covered; boxes are stacked securely; and fragile items are clearly marked and given extra padding.
We also aim to work in a more sustainable way where possible by reusing sturdy packing materials, planning efficient routes, and encouraging students to consolidate loads or share moves to reduce the number of trips. Where we supply packing materials, we can often collect boxes for reuse if they remain in good condition.
Costs vary depending on the volume of items, distance between addresses, access (stairs, parking and lifts) and whether you need extra services such as packing. For many student moves within Fitzrovia or nearby areas, we can offer a set price based on a small van and one or two movers. Longer-distance moves are usually priced as a fixed quote after a quick inventory check. We always provide a clear written estimate before you book, so you know exactly what is included and can budget with confidence.
Same-day or short-notice moves are often possible, particularly outside peak periods such as weekend changeovers and the main university moving dates. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early in the day as you can with your details. We will check van and crew availability, and if we cannot offer your preferred time, we will usually suggest the closest practical alternative. While we cannot guarantee every last-minute request, we do our best to accommodate genuine urgent situations.
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle, subject to standard terms and conditions, and we carry public liability cover for work on site. This offers protection if something unexpected happens during loading, transport or unloading. We will explain the main points of cover when you book and can answer specific questions about higher-value items, breakables or electronics. For very high-value items, we may recommend notifying your own insurer as an additional precaution.
Our standard service includes providing a suitable van, professional movers, loading, safe transport and unloading at your new address. We place items in the rooms you request and handle normal dismantling and reassembly of simple furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include packing, supply of boxes and wrapping materials, and disposal of unwanted small items by arrangement. Parking costs or congestion charges, where applicable, are always discussed in advance so there are no unexpected additions to your final bill.
We operate as a dedicated removals company rather than an informal man-and-van. That means trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper planning and clear communication. We use protective equipment such as blankets and straps, and we are experienced in handling student accommodation rules, building access and tight time slots in Fitzrovia. Casual services may be cheaper at first glance, but they often lack insurance, reliability and specialist handling skills. Our aim is to provide a safe, predictable move that protects both your belongings and your schedule.
For the best choice of dates and times, especially around the start and end of term, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance. Peak weekends and popular changeover days can fill up even earlier. That said, we understand that student plans can change unexpectedly, so we do keep some flexibility for midweek or off-peak bookings. If your move is short-notice, contact us anyway – we will always check for cancellations or partial availability and try to find a slot that works for you.
At Man and Van Fitzrovia, we specialise in straightforward, stress-free flat removals throughout Fitzrovia and the surrounding central London areas. Whether you are moving out of a studio, a fifth-floor walk-up or a larger family flat, our experienced, fully insured team knows exactly how to plan and carry out a safe, efficient move in busy city streets and tight stairwells.
Flat moves can be more complex than house moves: shared entrances, limited parking, lifts that do not always work, and strict building management rules. As a local Fitzrovia removals company, we are used to navigating these challenges calmly and professionally. We plan access, protect communal areas and coordinate timings to keep disruption to your neighbours to a minimum.
Our team is trained in handling furniture through confined spaces, dismantling and reassembling items where needed, and protecting walls, floors and doors throughout. We combine the flexibility of a man-and-van service with the standards you would expect from a professional removals company.
If you own a flat in Fitzrovia and are upsizing, downsizing or completing on a sale, we provide a reliable, punctual service that works around your completion deadlines. We can coordinate key handovers and lift bookings, and we handle your belongings with the level of care you would expect for your own home.
Tenancy ending soon? We help renters avoid last-minute chaos by offering flexible moving dates, including evenings and weekends. We protect walls and floors to help you leave the property in good condition, and we can collect and drop keys with agents where agreed.
For landlords, we offer professional flat clearances and move-ins. Whether you need furniture moved between properties, a flat cleared after a tenancy, or assistance setting up a furnished let, we work efficiently and respectfully within your building’s rules.
Many small businesses operate from flats or serviced apartments in Fitzrovia. We assist with office moves, equipment relocations and document transport, ensuring minimal downtime. All work is covered by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, giving you peace of mind.
Students moving into or out of Fitzrovia accommodation benefit from our affordable, flexible service. We can move single rooms, shared flats or just a few key items, and we are used to working around tight timeframes and limited access.
Our flat removals service is designed to cover everything you reasonably need for a safe move:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our standard flat removals service:
If you are unsure about a particular item, please ask in advance. We can usually find a safe solution or recommend a suitable specialist.
Contact us with basic details: addresses, flat floor levels, lift access, approximate inventory and preferred dates. We will provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining what is included and any factors that might affect the price, such as access challenges or long carries.
For larger flats or more complex moves, we may recommend a quick survey. This can be done via video call or in person. We look at access, parking, stairwells, lifts and any unusually large items. This helps us allocate the right team size, vehicle and equipment so your move runs smoothly.
You can choose to pack yourself or use our professional packing service. If we are packing, we bring quality boxes, wrapping and tape, label everything clearly and take particular care with fragile or sentimental items. If you are packing, we will advise on box sizes, labelling and how to prepare furniture for moving.
On moving day, our team arrives on time, protects communal areas where needed and carefully loads your belongings. We secure everything in the vehicle using straps and blankets to minimise movement in transit. Our drivers know Fitzrovia’s roads, parking restrictions and common access issues, which helps keep your move on schedule.
At your new flat, we unload items into the rooms you specify, reassemble furniture we dismantled and place larger items where you want them. We aim to leave you with a functional, safe space so you can start settling in right away rather than facing a wall of boxes.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
We will explain all charges in plain language before you book, so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden fees for standard moves; if anything could incur extra cost, we will highlight it clearly in advance.
Moving a flat yourself or with a casual man-and-van might look cheaper on paper, but it often leads to damaged items, personal injury or disputes with neighbours and building management. Our professional service provides:
In a dense area like Fitzrovia, experience makes a real difference. We understand building expectations, loading restrictions and how to keep your move efficient and respectful.
Man and Van Fitzrovia operates to high professional standards for every flat move:
We document your requirements, confirm details in writing and encourage you to point out any particularly fragile or high-value items so we can take additional precautions where necessary.
We treat every flat as if it were our own home. That means protecting floors, doorways and communal areas, using proper lifting techniques and taking our time where it matters. For sustainability, we aim to:
We also encourage responsible disposal of unwanted items, and can recommend local reuse and recycling options around Fitzrovia.
Common for professionals changing lets or buying nearby. We coordinate lift bookings, respect quiet hours and ensure minimal disruption to neighbours in mixed-use blocks.
For freelancers and small firms working from flats, we can move computers, desks, stock and files securely, keeping your equipment protected and labelled for easy setup at the new address.
Sometimes circumstances change quickly. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day flat removals in Fitzrovia. We focus on clear communication so you know exactly what is realistic within the time available.
Costs vary depending on the size of your flat, how much you are moving, access (stairs, lift, parking) and the distance between properties. Smaller studio or one-bedroom flats may be priced on an hourly rate with a minimum booking, while larger properties are often quoted as a fixed price. Optional services such as packing and dismantling will also affect the total. We always provide a clear, itemised quote in advance so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Yes, if our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice moves in Fitzrovia. Availability will depend on team and vehicle capacity, as well as the size and complexity of your move. For urgent jobs, it helps if you have a clear list of items and access details ready, so we can quote quickly and plan efficiently. While we do our best to accommodate emergency moves, booking earlier will always give you more flexibility on dates and times.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we carry, as well as public liability cover for accidental damage to property. This is designed to protect you in the unlikely event that something goes wrong. Insurance does have conditions and limits, so we ask you to highlight any particularly fragile, unusually valuable or irreplaceable items before moving day. We can then confirm how they are covered and advise on any extra precautions or specialist cover you may wish to arrange.
Our standard service includes a removals vehicle, a trained moving team, loading and unloading, protective equipment (blankets, straps, trolleys) and transport between your addresses. We will place items in the rooms you choose and can dismantle and reassemble standard furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include packing, provision of boxes and materials, and disposal or recycling of certain unwanted items. All inclusions and any optional services will be clearly set out in your written quote before you decide to book.
A casual man-and-van usually offers transport only, with limited or no insurance, planning or protection for your property. Our service combines the convenience of a man-and-van with full professional standards: insured transport, trained staff, proper equipment, clear communication and a structured process from survey to unloading. We pay attention to building rules, communal areas and neighbour relations, which is especially important in Fitzrovia’s flats and mixed-use buildings. This reduces risk, stress and the chance of unexpected problems on moving day.
Ideally, you should book as soon as you know your moving date, especially if you are moving at month-end or on a Friday or weekend, when demand is higher. One to three weeks’ notice is common for smaller flats, and longer for larger or more complex moves. However, we understand that dates can shift, particularly with property chains. We will always try to be flexible and accommodate changes where we can, and we do sometimes have short-notice slots available in Fitzrovia.
At Man and Van Fitzrovia, our man with van service is designed for people who want a reliable, well-organised move without the cost and complexity of a large removals crew. You still get a professional, fully insured service, just scaled to the size of your job and your budget.
Our man with van in Fitzrovia is a flexible moving solution covering small to medium moves and quick transport jobs. You get an experienced local driver-loader and a modern, clean van suitable for most day-to-day moves.
All moves include loading, safe transport, and unloading at the other end. We can also add packing, dismantling and reassembly if needed.
Based in the area, we know Fitzrovia’s streets, parking quirks and building layouts extremely well. That means:
We regularly work across Fitzrovia, Marylebone, Soho, Bloomsbury and the wider West End, so we can suggest realistic timings and the best routes for your move.
If you’re unsure about a specific item, we can usually confirm suitability by phone or during the survey.
You contact us with basic details: addresses, access (stairs, lifts, parking), a list of items, and your preferred date and time. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day. For straightforward jobs we can often quote immediately.
For larger or more complex moves we may suggest a brief video call or onsite survey. This helps us check access, estimate timings accurately and confirm which van size and manpower you need. It prevents surprises on the day and ensures the quote is fixed and fair.
You can pack your own boxes, or add our packing service if you prefer. We supply quality boxes, tape and wrapping material on request. We ask that loose items are boxed where possible, drawers are emptied if heavy, and fragile items are wrapped or clearly marked.
On moving day, our trained team arrive on time, protect key items with blankets and secure everything in the van using straps and ties. We load in a logical order to keep fragile and awkward items safe. Your goods are then transported directly to the new address, using the most suitable route.
At the destination, we unload and place items into the rooms you indicate. We can reassemble basic furniture (beds, tables) if that’s included in your quote. Before leaving, we check that everything has been unloaded and positioned as agreed.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our man with van service is typically charged either:
Your quote will show:
There are no hidden extras. If we think extra time might be needed due to access or distance, we’ll explain that in advance so you can plan properly.
Hiring a friend with a van or a casual operator may seem cheaper, but it often comes with risks and extra work:
With Man and Van Fitzrovia you get a professional, planned service. We bring the right equipment, manage loading efficiently, and protect your belongings and property. The result is a smoother move, fewer breakages and far less stress, especially in busy central London streets.
We take responsibility for your belongings and your property seriously.
Policy details and limits are available on request, and we’re happy to clarify what is and is not covered so you can make informed decisions.
Every move is carried out with care and respect for your belongings and your building. We use:
We also work with a focus on sustainability wherever we can:
Pricing depends mainly on how long the job takes, how many movers you need, and the distance between addresses. For local moves we often work on an hourly rate with a minimum hire period, while clearly defined jobs can be priced as a fixed quote. Factors such as stairs, awkward access, heavy items and parking can affect the total. We’ll ask a few questions, then give you a transparent estimate in writing so you know exactly what to budget for before you book.
Yes, where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day and urgent man with van moves in Fitzrovia and surrounding areas. Availability will depend on the time of your call, the size of the job and traffic conditions. For very urgent work, having photos and a clear item list ready helps us confirm suitability quickly. While we can’t guarantee last-minute slots every day, we’ll always be honest about what’s realistic and do our best to fit you in.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we transport, as well as public liability cover for accidental damage to property. As with any insurance, there are terms, conditions and exclusions, for example on owner-packed boxes or pre-existing damage. We’re happy to talk you through our cover limits and recommend extra protection if you’re moving particularly high-value items. Our aim is to combine careful handling with clear information so you know exactly how you’re protected.
As standard, you get a professional driver-mover, a suitable van, loading, transport and unloading of your items. We supply protective blankets and securing straps, and we place items into the rooms you indicate. Optional extras include packing, packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and disposal of unwanted items by arrangement. Parking charges, congestion and tolls, where applicable, are either included in a fixed quote or clearly listed as separate costs so there are no surprises on the day.
Many casual man-and-van operators are essentially just a driver and vehicle, with limited insurance and no formal training. Our service is run as a professional removals operation: fully insured, with trained staff, proper equipment and clear processes. We survey bigger moves, plan access, protect your belongings, and provide written quotes and invoices. The aim is to give you the flexibility and affordability of a man with van, but with the standards you’d expect from an established removals company.
For weekends, month-end and peak moving days, we recommend booking one to two weeks ahead to secure your preferred slot. For weekday or smaller jobs, a few days’ notice is often enough, and we can sometimes help at very short notice if our schedule allows. Even if your dates are not fixed yet, it’s worth getting in touch early so we can pencil you in and advise on timing, parking arrangements and any building access requirements.
At Man and Van Fitzrovia, we provide specialist piano removals across Fitzrovia and the surrounding Central London areas. As experienced removals professionals, we understand that a piano is more than just furniture – it’s a valuable, often sentimental instrument that demands careful planning, the right equipment, and a trained team.
Moving a piano safely is very different from a standard household move. Our local Fitzrovia team is trained in the correct lifting, securing, and transport techniques for a wide range of instruments, from compact uprights to larger baby grands.
We plan each move around the specific piano, access routes, and destination. That means measuring stairwells and doorways, checking floor protection needs, and ensuring the right number of porters and correct vehicle are assigned to your job.
Our professional piano removal service in Fitzrovia is ideal for:
Whether you’re moving one upright piano down the road in Fitzrovia or several instruments between properties in central London, we tailor our service to your situation.
We can safely move:
We do not normally move:
If your move involves complex access (very tight staircases, high floors without lifts, or crane work), contact us – we can often help by arranging a specialist team or discussing bespoke solutions.
You contact us with details of your piano, addresses, and any known access issues. We’ll ask for photos or a short video of the staircases, doorways, and the piano itself. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining what’s included and any potential extras.
For more complex moves, we carry out a short virtual survey via video call or, where needed, an onsite visit in Fitzrovia. This lets us confirm measurements, identify any tight turns or obstructions, and decide whether additional equipment or porters are required. The aim is to avoid surprises on move day.
On the day, our trained team first protects your instrument and property. We typically:
For grand pianos, we may carefully remove the legs and lyre, wrapping and labelling each part for safe reassembly.
The piano is moved using the correct equipment – piano dolly, skids, straps, and ramps as needed. Our team lifts and manoeuvres in a coordinated way, always keeping the instrument stable and controlled. In the van, your piano is wrapped, strapped securely to anchor points, and separated from other items to prevent movement during transit.
At the destination, we reverse the process just as carefully. We position the piano in the room you choose, on suitable flooring, and reassemble any removed parts. We do a final visual check for stability and condition before we leave, so you are satisfied with the placement.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Piano removal costs depend on:
Once we have the necessary details, we provide a fixed-price quotation wherever possible. We’ll always explain any surcharges in advance, such as extra porters for difficult stair carries. There are no hidden fees added on the day.
Attempting to move a piano yourself or hiring a casual man-with-a-van can be risky. Pianos are heavy, awkward, and finely balanced. Without the right technique and equipment, there is a real danger of:
Our professional team uses proper lifting methods, specialist equipment, and protective materials. The result is a smoother, safer move, far less stress, and protection if something unexpected happens.
Man and Van Fitzrovia operates to clear, accountable standards to protect you and your instrument:
We’re happy to provide confirmation of cover and discuss any specific concerns you may have before booking.
Your piano and your property are always treated with care and respect. We use heavy-duty blankets, straps and floor protection to minimise any risk of scuffs or marks. Our vehicles are kept clean, dry and secure to protect wooden instruments from unnecessary exposure.
Where possible, we adopt a responsible, sustainable approach, including route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and reusing high-quality protective materials rather than disposable plastics. When pianos are being removed for disposal, we can advise on environmentally responsible options and local schemes where available.
Many of our clients are families moving home who need their upright piano transferred safely alongside their general household goods. We can either include the piano within a full house-move service or treat it as a stand-alone specialist move, depending on your needs.
We work with recording studios, performance spaces, hotels and offices who keep pianos on-site for guests or staff. Moves are often scheduled outside normal working hours to minimise disruption. Our team coordinates access with building management and front-of-house staff to ensure a smooth, professional job.
Sometimes a move is needed at short notice – for example, a last-minute tenancy change or a venue needing a piano relocated before an event. Subject to availability, we can often provide same-day or next-day piano removals in Fitzrovia and central London. Let us know your deadline and we’ll do our best to accommodate it.
The cost depends on the type of piano, access at both properties and the distance travelled. As a guideline, local upright piano moves within Fitzrovia are typically priced as a fixed fee, with additional charges only if there are complex stairs or very difficult access. Grand pianos and moves involving multiple flights of stairs or extra porters will be higher. Once we have photos, addresses and a few details, we provide a clear, tailored quotation so you know the exact cost before you book.
In many cases, yes. If we have a suitable team and vehicle available, we can arrange same-day or next-day piano removals in Fitzrovia and nearby areas. Urgent moves are best handled by phone so we can confirm access details quickly and allocate a slot. Pricing for urgent work may be slightly higher than standard bookings, especially for evenings or weekends, but we will always confirm the full cost before sending a team so you can decide with confidence.
Yes. Your piano is protected by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our vehicle, and by our public liability cover for accidental damage to property during handling. Insurance is subject to policy terms and declared values, which we’ll explain when you book. We treat insurance as a safety net rather than a substitute for care: our primary focus is to prevent damage through correct packing, handling and securing of the instrument throughout the move.
Our standard service includes a trained two-person or larger team (depending on the job), protective blankets and equipment, safe loading, secure transport, and careful placement of the piano in the new location. For grand pianos, it can also include dismantling and reassembly of legs and lyre where required. Floor protection, multiple stops, and out-of-hours work can be added as needed. We’ll clearly itemise what’s included in your quote so there are no surprises on the day.
A casual man-and-van service may not have the training, equipment or insurance needed for a safe piano move. Professional piano removals use appropriate trolleys, skids, ramps, strapping and protective materials, and follow tested lifting techniques to avoid damage or injury. We also carry dedicated insurance and plan each job carefully around access and instrument type. The aim is to provide a reliable, accountable service rather than a simple load-and-go transport.
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or time, or if your move is on a Friday or weekend. This gives us time to arrange surveys where required and allocate the right team. However, we understand that short-notice moves do happen. If your timeline is tight, contact us as soon as possible – we’ll check our schedule and do our best to fit you in, even at short notice.
At Man and Van Fitzrovia, our man and a van service is designed for people who want a reliable, professional move without the cost or complexity of a full-scale removals crew. Based in the heart of Fitzrovia, we handle everything from small flats and studio moves to light office relocations and student moves, always with care and organisation.
Our service is a streamlined version of a full removals job, carried out by a trained, uniformed mover (or two, if required) and a clean, well-maintained van. We focus on efficient, careful handling of your belongings, short-notice availability, and flexible scheduling across Fitzrovia and the surrounding areas.
We regularly help with partial moves, single large items, store collections, and local relocations where a full truck and large crew would be excessive.
Working daily in Fitzrovia means we understand the realities of moving here: tight stairwells, controlled parking zones, loading restrictions and busy streets. We plan around these challenges to keep your move smooth and on time.
This local knowledge helps us protect your belongings, your building and your schedule.
If you are unsure whether an item can be transported, simply let us know in advance and we will advise or arrange a suitable solution.
Contact us with your addresses, dates, a list of items and access details. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the time, distance and manpower required. For straightforward moves we can usually quote immediately over the phone or by email.
For larger or more complex moves, we will suggest a brief video survey or onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, parking, stairways and item sizes so we can choose the right van, plan loading and avoid surprises on the day.
You can pack your own belongings, or we can add a professional packing service if needed. We advise on suitable boxes, labelling and protecting fragile items. On the day, we bring blankets, straps and basic protection to safeguard furniture and appliances.
Our trained mover(s) carefully load your items, using protective blankets and securing everything for transit. We work systematically to make full use of space in the van and to protect both your belongings and the property. Once loaded, we travel directly to your new address via the most efficient route.
At your destination, we unload to the rooms you specify and place larger furniture where you want it. We can reassemble simple flat-pack items by prior arrangement. Before leaving, we ask you to check that everything is in the right place and undamaged.
We operate a clear, honest pricing structure, usually based on an hourly rate with a minimum booking time. This means you only pay for the time and resources you actually use, not inflated package prices.
All costs are explained in advance, with no hidden charges for stairs or waiting time unless explicitly stated. For an accurate quote, provide as much information as possible about your move, including parking, floors and item list.
Hiring a casual van or doing it yourself may appear cheaper, but it often leads to damaged items, personal injury and much longer moving days. With Man and Van Fitzrovia, you benefit from:
In a central London area like Fitzrovia, dealing with parking, traffic and access is stressful enough. Let an experienced local team manage the logistics.
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service is fully insured and delivered to professional standards.
We operate under clear terms and conditions, explaining what is and is not covered. You are encouraged to mention any particularly fragile or high-value items so we can give them additional attention and discuss cover where needed.
Our approach prioritises the safety of your belongings, your building and the environment:
We aim to move your items efficiently while reducing the environmental impact and disruption to your neighbours and building.
Perfect for studio and one-bedroom flats, or partial moves from larger homes. We navigate stairs and tight hallways daily and understand how to manage building rules, lifts and parking restrictions.
Our man and a van service suits small offices moving a limited number of desks, chairs and IT equipment. We can work outside typical office hours to reduce disruption and ensure your team is back up and running quickly.
When you need to be out quickly, we offer subject-to-availability same-day or next-day support. This is ideal for last-minute tenancy changes, emergency clearances or short-notice relocations within central London.
Pricing is usually based on an hourly rate plus any travel charges, with a minimum booking period. The cost depends on the size of van required, the number of movers, distance between addresses and access issues such as stairs or parking restrictions. Simple studio or one-bedroom moves within Fitzrovia can often be completed within a few hours. We always provide a clear, itemised quote in advance so you know exactly what you will pay before you book.
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Fitzrovia, depending on existing bookings and vehicle availability. If you need rapid assistance, call us as early as possible with your details, including addresses, access and a rough item list. We will confirm availability, likely timings and estimated costs. While we cannot guarantee every last-minute request, we do our best to prioritise urgent local moves and provide a realistic, honest timeframe.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover for third-party property. This protection applies when we handle and transport your items in line with our terms and conditions. We do ask that you highlight any particularly fragile or high-value belongings in advance so we can take extra precautions and clarify cover where necessary. For very high-value items, additional or specialist insurance may sometimes be recommended.
Our standard service includes a professional driver-mover (and an extra mover if requested), a suitable van, loading, transport and unloading to your chosen rooms. We also provide basic protective materials such as blankets and straps. Optional extras, such as full packing, furniture disassembly/reassembly and disposal of unwanted items, can be added by prior arrangement. Packing materials, congestion charges or parking fees may be chargeable, but we always explain these clearly in your quote before you commit.
A casual man-and-van is often just a driver and vehicle with little structure or protection. Our service is a professional version of this: trained movers, appropriate insurance, planned routes, and proper protective equipment. For smaller moves, our man and a van option is a streamlined alternative to a full removals crew, but still delivered to the same standards. You receive clear communication, confirmed bookings, and accountability if anything goes wrong, which informal services rarely provide.
For weekend and month-end moves, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred time. For midweek or off-peak slots, a few days’ notice is often sufficient. That said, we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests if we have availability. As soon as you know your dates and addresses, get in touch so we can reserve a slot, discuss access and ensure everything is in place for a smooth move.
At Man and Van Fitzrovia, we provide a reliable, local man and van removals service designed around the busy streets and unique properties of W1. With years of hands-on moving experience in central London, we handle everything from small student moves to full flat relocations and light commercial moves, always with care and professionalism.
Our man and van service is a flexible, lower-cost alternative to a full-scale removals crew, while still giving you a professional, fully insured service. You get an experienced driver–porter (or a small team) plus a modern, well-maintained van, equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys.
We work across Fitzrovia and surrounding areas, dealing daily with mansion blocks, period conversions, new-build apartments and offices. We know the local parking restrictions, access challenges and building rules, so we can plan your move efficiently and avoid unnecessary delays or fines.
Ideal for smaller property moves, partial moves, or when you are moving a selection of items into or out of storage. We often help homeowners in Fitzrovia with decluttering, downsizing, and shifting bulky items between main homes and pied-à-terre apartments.
Whether you are moving between rented flats in Fitzrovia or relocating across London, our service is tailored to tenancies. We work considerately in shared hallways and stairwells, protecting surfaces to help you leave the property in good order and reduce disputes over deposits.
Landlords use our man and van service to clear properties between tenancies, move in furniture for new lets and remove unwanted items after check-out. We can work to tight turnarounds and coordinate with cleaners, inventory clerks and agents.
From small offices and creative studios to consulting rooms and clinics, we manage light commercial moves, internal reconfigurations and deliveries. We understand confidentiality, discretion and the importance of minimising downtime for your team.
Fitzrovia is popular with students from UCL, SOAS and other central London universities. Our student-friendly man and van service offers cost-effective moves between halls, house shares and studios. We can combine multiple pick-ups in one trip to keep costs down.
We handle most everyday household and office contents, including:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, our man and van service does not transport:
If you are unsure about any items, we are happy to advise and, where appropriate, suggest suitable specialist services.
You can contact us by phone, email or online form with your addresses, dates and a brief list of items. We will ask a few practical questions about access, floors, lifts and any parking restrictions. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with either an hourly rate or a fixed price, depending on the job.
For more involved moves, we recommend a short video survey or an onsite visit in Fitzrovia. This allows us to check access routes, staircases and lift sizes, and to assess whether extra staff or a larger van is needed. A proper survey reduces the risk of surprises on moving day and helps us keep your costs fair and predictable.
You can choose between:
On the day, we protect floors and surfaces as needed, dismantle simple furniture if agreed in advance, and ensure everything is ready for safe loading.
Our team carefully loads your belongings using transit blankets, straps and trolleys. Heavy and bulky items are positioned securely, with lighter boxes stacked safely. We plan the route considering central London traffic, bus lanes and loading bays, aiming for efficient, low-stress transport between properties.
At your new address, we unload systematically, placing furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble straightforward items we dismantled, and we will not leave until you are satisfied everything is in the right place. Our aim is to leave you as settled and organised as possible from day one.
We believe in clear, simple pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes set out:
For most Fitzrovia man and van jobs, we recommend an hourly rate for flexibility, particularly where access or traffic could vary. For clearly defined moves, we are happy to agree a fixed price so you know exactly where you stand.
Hiring a professional man and van team offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using an informal helper:
In a central area like Fitzrovia, where parking is limited and buildings can be challenging, a professional service often ends up more cost-effective and far less stressful than DIY.
We take your belongings and your property seriously. Our service is fully insured, including:
Our crews are trained in manual handling, safe loading and customer care. We follow clear procedures for protecting furniture and surfaces, and we work to agreed arrival times wherever London traffic allows. You receive a written confirmation of your booking and, where appropriate, our terms of carriage.
Every move is handled with care. We use padded transit blankets, webbing straps and, where required, floor protection to reduce the risk of scuffs and scrapes. Fragile items are identified and loaded accordingly. We encourage reuse of boxes where suitable and favour recyclable materials. Our modern vans are maintained for fuel efficiency, and we plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage, helping to lower our environmental impact in central London.
Many of our jobs involve one- and two-bedroom flats in Fitzrovia, often with limited access or no lift. Our team is used to working quietly and efficiently in shared stairwells, protecting walls and bannisters and keeping disruption to neighbours to a minimum.
We regularly assist small businesses, agencies and studios with moves within the W1 area and beyond. This can include desk and chair moves, IT equipment relocation and internal reconfigurations when businesses expand or downsize.
Life in central London can change quickly. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day and short-notice man and van services for urgent moves, key-change delays, cancelled lifts or last-minute tenancy issues. We prioritise clear communication so you know what is realistic within the available time.
Costs depend mainly on how much you are moving, the access at each property and how far you are travelling. For most local Fitzrovia moves, we use an hourly rate covering the van and one or two movers, with a minimum booking period. Fixed prices are available for clearly defined jobs. We always outline any potential parking, congestion or out-of-hours charges upfront so you can budget with confidence. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with a brief item list and both postcodes.
Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves, especially within Fitzrovia and nearby areas. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job, so the earlier you contact us, the better. For urgent work, we may suggest a smaller team or staged move if that means we can reach you more quickly. When you call, have your addresses, rough inventory and any time constraints to hand so we can give you a realistic plan immediately.
Yes. Our man and van service includes goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicle, plus public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. There are standard exclusions and limits, which we are happy to explain before you book. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may recommend additional cover or a specialist service. We also minimise risk through careful packing, secure loading and using proper protective equipment.
Our standard service includes a suitable van, a professional driver–porter (or team), loading, secure transport and unloading at your new address. We provide basic protective equipment such as blankets, straps and trolleys. If needed, we can add packing services, supply boxes and materials, and dismantle or reassemble straightforward furniture by prior arrangement. Parking arrangements and permits are usually the customer’s responsibility, but we will advise on what is required in Fitzrovia and help you plan ahead.
A man and van service is typically more flexible and suited to smaller or simpler moves than a full removals crew. You usually have a smaller team and a single van, which keeps costs down and is ideal for flats, students, partial moves and light commercial work. A full removals service may involve larger vehicles, more staff and more comprehensive packing or specialist services. Our Fitzrovia man and van offers many of the same professional standards and insurances, but in a more compact, cost-effective format.
For weekend and month-end dates, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks ahead, as these slots are in high demand across Fitzrovia. For midweek or smaller jobs, we can often accommodate you with shorter notice, sometimes even same-day. The earlier you book, the easier it is to secure your preferred time and arrange any necessary parking suspensions or building permissions. Even if your dates are not yet fixed, it is worth contacting us to discuss options and pencilling in a provisional slot.
At Man and Van Fitzrovia, our removal van service is designed for people who want a reliable, properly managed move rather than taking chances with a casual driver and a borrowed van. We combine local knowledge of Fitzrovia with professional planning, trained teams and full insurance, so your belongings are moved safely, on time and with minimal stress.
Our removal vans operate throughout Fitzrovia and the surrounding central London areas. Whether you are moving a small flat off Charlotte Street or an office near Great Portland Street, we allocate the right size van, the right number of movers and the right equipment for the job.
We use clean, well-maintained vans fitted with blankets, straps and trolleys. Every job is handled by a trained, uniformed team who deal with tight staircases, loading restrictions and tricky access in Fitzrovia every day. You get a punctual, organised move from people who do this for a living.
Moving between houses or larger flats? We plan your move around parking, building access and timing, protecting furniture, appliances and personal items from door to door. Our crews are used to managing multi-room properties and coordinating with building management where needed.
If you are moving in or out of a rented flat in Fitzrovia, we focus on protecting walls, floors and fixtures so you leave the property in good condition. We can help dismantle and reassemble beds, wardrobes and other furniture so you are settled in quickly.
Landlords use our removal van service to clear properties between tenancies, remove unwanted furniture and deliver replacement items. We work efficiently, remove waste responsibly where requested, and help you get the property ready for new tenants faster.
From small offices to studios and clinics, we move desks, computers, stock and equipment anywhere in or out of Fitzrovia. We can schedule your move for evenings or weekends where possible to minimise disruption to your staff and customers.
Students in Fitzrovia and nearby universities often use our small removal van option for term-time moves, storage runs and relocating between halls and private rentals. We keep it simple, affordable and straightforward, even if you only have a room’s worth of belongings.
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some things we typically cannot take in our removal vans:
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, mention it during your enquiry and we will advise or suggest a suitable specialist.
You contact us with your moving date, addresses, an outline of what needs moving and any access issues. We ask a few targeted questions so we understand the volume of items, any fragile or bulky pieces and time constraints. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day.
For larger moves, we arrange a short video or onsite survey. This allows us to see access, stairwells, lifts, parking and any awkward items. A proper survey means we send the right van, enough movers and any specialist equipment needed, reducing the chance of delays on the day.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service with quality materials. We label boxes clearly, protect furniture with covers and blankets, and dismantle larger items like beds and wardrobes if required. Our focus is on safe handling and efficient loading at your Fitzrovia address.
On move day, our professional team arrives on time, runs through the plan with you and starts loading. Floors, bannisters and doors are protected where needed. We stack items securely inside the van, using straps and padding. Your belongings are then transported directly to the new property, with routes and timing planned around central London traffic where possible.
At the destination, we place each item into the correct room under your direction. We reassemble agreed furniture, remove used materials and do a final walk-through with you. Only once you are satisfied that everything is in the right place do we complete the job.
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. For smaller moves, we often work on an hourly rate based on the size of van and number of movers you need. For full house or office moves, we typically provide a fixed price once we understand the volume, distance, access and any packing requirements.
Your quote will clearly state what is included: van size, crew size, estimated time, mileage and any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly. Parking charges and congestion or ULEZ fees are explained upfront where they apply, so you know exactly what to budget for.
Hiring a van and doing it yourself can seem cheaper, but the hidden costs and risks add up quickly. With a professional removal van service you avoid:
Our trained teams handle these challenges daily. You get experience, planning and the right equipment built into the price, along with insurance that simply does not come with a casual DIY move.
Man and Van Fitzrovia operates as a fully established removals business, not a casual side job. We carry:
All removals staff receive trained handling instruction, including lifting techniques, furniture protection and safe loading practices. Vans are regularly inspected and maintained so they are fit for purpose on busy central London roads. This level of cover and professionalism is designed to give you peace of mind from first contact to final box placed.
We take the care of your belongings seriously. Furniture is wrapped and protected, fragile items are clearly marked and loaded appropriately, and we use proper removal blankets, straps and trolleys to minimise risk at every stage.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where possible, we:
This approach keeps standards high while aiming to reduce waste around each move.
Most of our work is helping people move homes in and around Fitzrovia. From studio flats to multi-bedroom properties, we manage everything from packing to furniture disassembly, transport and careful placement in your new home.
We regularly move small and medium-sized offices, creative studios and medical or professional practices. We understand the importance of keeping computers, files and equipment organised so you can resume work quickly in the new space.
Tenancy changes, contract dates and unexpected issues can create last-minute moves. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day removal vans in Fitzrovia. We focus on rapid response while still maintaining proper care and documentation.
The cost depends mainly on the size of van, number of movers required, distance between properties and how long the job takes. Smaller moves within Fitzrovia are often priced on an hourly rate, while full house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price after a brief survey. Additional services such as packing, materials and furniture assembly are itemised clearly. Once we know what you are moving and when, we will give you a transparent quote so you can compare options confidently.
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day and short-notice removal van bookings in Fitzrovia. Availability will depend on the size of van and crew you need, and what is already booked for that day. If you are on a tight timescale, call us as early as possible and we will give you an honest answer on what we can do. Even for urgent moves, we still ask a few key questions about access, items and timing so the job runs safely and efficiently.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance covering your belongings while they are in our vehicles, and public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties. This is not a substitute for your own contents insurance, but it does give an additional layer of protection when using our service. We will explain the key terms, limits and any exclusions before you book, so you understand exactly what is covered and can make informed decisions about particularly high-value items.
Our standard removal van service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional moving team, protective blankets and straps, and careful loading and unloading of your items between the specified addresses. We place furniture and boxes in the correct rooms and can dismantle and reassemble common household items if agreed in advance. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of packing materials and disposal of unwanted items. Your quote will set out clearly what is and is not included, so there are no surprises on move day.
A casual man-and-van is usually just transport: one person and a van, with limited equipment, no formal training and often no insurance. Our removal van service is a structured, fully operated removals service. You get a trained team, proper planning, protective materials, fully insured cover and clear documentation. We conduct surveys for larger moves, manage access and parking, and take responsibility for the safe handling of your belongings. It is a more reliable, accountable option, particularly for full home or office moves.
For peak times, such as month-end and weekends, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. For smaller or midweek moves, we can often help on shorter notice, especially outside the busiest periods. If your dates are flexible, we may be able to suggest slightly off-peak slots that are easier to schedule. In all cases, the earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer and the smoother the planning process will be.
At Man and Van Fitzrovia, we provide reliable, well-organised removal services for homes and businesses in and around Fitzrovia. With years of hands-on experience moving people in central London, we understand the pressures of moving day and take care of the heavy lifting, planning and logistics so you do not have to.
Our Fitzrovia removal service covers everything from small flat moves to full family homes and busy office relocations. We can handle moves within Fitzrovia, across London, or to and from other parts of the UK. Our trained team arrives on time, properly equipped, and works systematically to protect your belongings and your property.
We combine the flexibility of a local man and van with the standards of a fully insured, well-managed removals company. Whether you need a single van and mover or a full team with multiple vehicles, we scale the service to your move.
Working in Fitzrovia every day means we know the one-way systems, loading bays, and parking restrictions that can easily delay an unplanned move. We routinely coordinate with building management, concierges and reception teams to arrange access, lift use and loading times.
From narrow streets and resident-only parking to upper-floor flats with tight staircases, we plan your move around the realities of central London. This local knowledge helps us move you more efficiently and reduces stress on the day.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of London, we manage full house removals with care. We can provide part or full packing, dismantle and reassemble furniture, and coordinate timings with your completion and key handover.
We regularly help tenants move between Fitzrovia flats or to nearby areas. We take extra care to protect walls, lifts and communal areas to keep landlords happy and help you avoid unnecessary deposit disputes.
Landlords and property managers use our removal services for end-of-tenancy clearances, part-furnished changes and quick turnarounds between tenants. We can remove unwanted furniture, move items to storage or transport goods between properties.
From small start-ups to established offices, we handle office removals, internal moves and furniture reshuffles. We plan moves to minimise disruption, often working early mornings, evenings or weekends so your staff can keep working.
Students in Fitzrovia benefit from affordable, flexible moves for term-time relocations, summer storage and moving between halls and private rentals. We are used to smaller moves with a mix of suitcases, boxes and flat-pack furniture.
If you have unusual or fragile items – artwork, glass cabinets, antiques or IT equipment – let us know during the quotation so we can plan appropriate protection and handling.
It starts with a quick phone call or online enquiry. We will ask about your current and new addresses, property type, access, approximate volume of goods and your preferred moving date. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining exactly what is included.
For anything beyond a very small move, we normally carry out a short survey. This may be virtual (video call and photos) or an onsite visit in Fitzrovia, depending on your preference and availability. The survey helps us assess volume, access, parking, any dismantling required and any fragile or specialist items. This means no surprises on the day.
You can choose from:
We label boxes clearly, protect furniture with covers and pads, and dismantle agreed items such as beds and wardrobes where necessary.
On moving day, our trained team arrives promptly and walks through the plan with you. We protect floors, bannisters and doors as needed, then load systematically, securing all items for safe transit. Our vehicles are clean, equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys, and your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance during the move.
At your new address, we unload in an organised way, placing items in the rooms you specify. We can reassemble previously dismantled furniture and position larger items where you want them so you can start settling in straight away. Before we leave, we check you are happy with the placement and that nothing has been overlooked.
We base our pricing on a clear set of factors: volume of goods, access difficulty, distance, size of team, and any optional services such as packing or storage runs. We offer either a fixed price for well-defined moves or an hourly rate for smaller, more flexible projects.
All costs are explained in advance, with no hidden charges for stairs, fuel or basic protective materials. If parking fees or congestion charges apply in Fitzrovia or central London, we will outline these when quoting so you know the full cost before you book.
Hiring a professional removals team is not just about having a bigger van. It is about experience, safety and efficiency. Our movers handle heavy, awkward items daily, know how to protect fragile goods, and understand how to load a vehicle so everything arrives intact.
DIY moves or casual, unregulated man-and-van services can lead to damage, delays, injuries and disputes. With Man and Van Fitzrovia, you benefit from trained staff, professional equipment, structured planning and insurance-backed protection. In many cases, this saves you time, stress and unexpected costs.
We operate as a fully insured removals provider. This includes:
Our moving teams are trained in safe lifting, wrapping techniques and secure loading. We follow clear procedures for handling fragile items and always encourage customers to highlight any pieces of particular concern. Our aim is to combine efficiency with genuine care for your possessions.
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped and secured, mattresses and sofas are covered, and we use floor protection where appropriate. We plan lifts and stairwork to minimise the risk of scuffs and scrapes to both items and property.
Where possible, we reuse strong cartons and protective materials, and we recommend right-sized vans to reduce unnecessary journeys. We also work with local recycling centres and charities for clients who are decluttering and wish to dispose of items responsibly rather than sending everything to landfill.
From period townhouses to modern apartments, we handle complete household moves, often coordinating with estate agents and solicitors to align with key release times. We can also move part-loads if you are staging a property or renovating.
We support businesses moving within Fitzrovia or to wider London, including packing IT equipment, moving filing systems and relocating office furniture. We can schedule work outside normal hours to keep staff disruption to a minimum.
Life does not always run to plan. When you face a short-notice completion date, last-minute tenancy change or urgent clearance, we do our best to provide same-day or next-day support, subject to availability. Our flexible fleet and local presence in Fitzrovia help make urgent moves far more manageable.
The cost depends mainly on the size of your move, access at each property, distance travelled and whether you need packing or dismantling services. Smaller flat moves within Fitzrovia might be charged on an hourly basis, while full house or office moves are usually quoted at a fixed price after a survey. We will always provide a clear written estimate outlining what is included, any potential extras such as parking or congestion charges, and options to tailor the service to your budget.
Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or very short-notice moves in Fitzrovia, particularly for smaller loads or student moves. Availability depends on existing bookings, team capacity and vehicle allocation, so it is always best to call us as soon as you know you may need an urgent move. Even when we cannot offer full packing, we can usually provide a transport and lifting service to ensure you meet key handover or tenancy deadlines.
Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also maintain public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. This is not a replacement for your own contents insurance, but it offers an important extra layer of protection. During the quotation stage, we will explain the key terms and any limits, and we encourage you to highlight high-value or particularly fragile items so we can plan additional protection where needed.
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional removals team, protective blankets and basic furniture protection, loading at your old address, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you specify at your new address. We can also dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of boxes and packing materials, disposal runs and storage runs. Everything to be included is set out clearly in your quote so you know exactly what to expect.
A casual man-and-van often provides simple transport only, with limited equipment, no formal training and little or no insurance. Our service is structured and professional: we carry out surveys, plan access and parking, use protective materials, and supply trained staff who move heavy and fragile items every day. We are also fully insured, so you have proper protection if something goes wrong. For anything beyond a very small, low-risk move, using a professional removal service is typically safer, more efficient and better value overall.
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking as soon as you have a likely moving window, especially if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end or during peak summer periods. Many clients confirm their booking one to three weeks before completion, with final details added once dates are fixed. That said, we regularly accommodate short-notice moves where our schedule allows, so it is always worth contacting us, even if your move is only a few days away.
At Man and Van Fitzrovia, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions for households, landlords, students and businesses across Fitzrovia and Central London. Whether you need short-term storage between moves or a longer-term option while you renovate, our professional, fully insured service keeps your belongings safe and accessible.
Our Fitzrovia storage service is designed to be straightforward, safe and predictable. We collect your items, protect them properly, store them in a secure facility, and deliver them back when you are ready. You pay only for the space and time you actually need.
All items are handled by trained movers, wrapped and packed for protection, then stored in clean, dry units with modern security systems and controlled access.
If you are selling, downsizing or renovating in Fitzrovia, storage can help you declutter for viewings or keep furniture safe during building works. We regularly support families who need temporary storage between completion dates or while they wait for their new home to be ready.
Tenants often face overlapping or gap periods between tenancies. Our storage is ideal if you are moving out before your new place is available, relocating temporarily, or travelling abroad and want your possessions stored safely until you return.
Landlords use our storage when changing tenants, refurbishing, or converting properties. We can remove and store furniture, white goods and contents while works take place, and then return everything once the property is ready to let again.
Local businesses in Fitzrovia rely on our storage for documents, excess stock, seasonal displays, office furniture and equipment during refits or relocations. We offer flexible terms so you are not tied into long contracts.
Students at nearby universities often need storage over the summer or during placements. We collect from halls or shared houses, store your belongings safely, then deliver them to your new address when term starts.
We handle a wide range of household and commercial items, including:
For safety, legal and hygiene reasons, there are some items we are unable to store. These include:
Contact us by phone or online with a brief description of what you need to store, your addresses in Fitzrovia or surrounding areas, and your timescales. We will ask a few questions about access, number of items and likely duration. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.
For larger or more complex jobs, we recommend a quick virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess parking, stairs or lifts, and to estimate the storage volume accurately. By doing this properly at the start, we can send the right team, vehicle and packing materials, helping you avoid surprises later.
On the agreed date, our professional team arrives with all necessary materials. We can provide a full packing service or simply protect larger items, depending on your preference. Furniture is wrapped, fragile items are carefully boxed, and everything is labelled so you can easily identify your goods when they come out of storage.
Our trained movers load your belongings safely onto our vehicles, using blankets, straps and proper lifting techniques. We then transport everything directly to our secure storage facility. Your items are handled like our own, with careful stacking to avoid pressure damage or crushing.
On arrival at the facility, we unload your items into a suitably sized unit or container. Inventory and labelling mean we know exactly what is stored and where. When you are ready for redelivery, we simply reverse the process: collect from storage, transport back to Fitzrovia or your new address and place items in the rooms you specify.
We believe in straightforward pricing, without hidden extras. Storage costs are typically made up of:
We will explain all costs before you book and confirm them in writing. If your plans change, we can usually adjust the duration or space required, so you only pay for what you use.
Trying to store items yourself – using a friend’s garage or a basic self-storage unit – often leads to damage, poor security and back strain. With a professional storage service:
For anything more than a few light boxes, using a professional team is usually the safer and more efficient option.
Man and Van Fitzrovia operates to recognised industry standards for removals and storage. We maintain:
We will explain the scope and limits of cover clearly so you know exactly where you stand. If you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss additional protection options.
We treat your possessions with the same care we would give our own. That means:
We also take a responsible approach to sustainability. Wherever practical, we reuse durable packing materials, recycle cardboard and plastics, and plan our routes to minimise unnecessary mileage. If you have items you no longer need, we can help arrange responsible disposal or donation rather than landfill.
When moving into or out of Fitzrovia, dates often do not line up perfectly. We can collect your household contents on completion day, store them securely for a few days or weeks, then deliver them once your new property is ready.
For businesses refurbishing or relocating offices in the area, storage keeps desks, equipment and documents safe while contractors work. We can phase collections and redeliveries to match your project schedule, reducing disruption to staff.
Sometimes storage is needed quickly – for example, an unexpected change of tenancy, emergency repairs or a last-minute move. Subject to availability, we can often offer same-day or next-day collections in Fitzrovia and arrange immediate storage so you are not left trying to manage everything alone.
Costs depend mainly on three factors: how much you store, how long you store it for, and how complex collection and delivery are. After a brief discussion or survey, we will estimate the volume of your goods and recommend an appropriate unit size. We then provide a clear quote covering collection, storage (usually charged weekly or monthly) and redelivery. There are no hidden costs, and if your storage needs change, we can often adjust the space or duration so you only pay for what you actually use.
In many cases, yes. We regularly help clients who need storage at short notice due to sudden tenancy changes, unexpected building works or urgent relocations. If you contact us early in the day, we will check vehicle, crew and unit availability and let you know what is realistically possible. While we cannot guarantee same-day every time, we always do our best to accommodate urgent requests and can usually arrange collection within a very short timeframe.
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them to and from the storage facility. The storage facility itself also has its own security and insurance arrangements. During the quotation stage, we will explain exactly what is covered, any limits or exclusions, and whether you might want additional cover for higher-value items. We believe in being completely transparent so you understand the level of protection in place before committing.
Our standard service includes collection from your property, protective wrapping for furniture, safe loading, transport to the storage facility, unloading into a suitable unit and secure storage for the agreed period. When you are ready, we arrange redelivery and place items into the rooms you choose. Optional extras include full packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and supply of packing materials. We will tailor the service to your needs rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all package.
A casual man-and-van typically provides transport only, leaving you to source and manage storage yourself. With us, you get a complete, professional solution: trained staff, proper packing and protection, organised inventory, and coordinated storage and redelivery. We also carry public liability and goods in transit cover, which many informal operators do not. For anything more than a few light boxes, using a structured, insured service significantly reduces the risk of damage or inconvenience.
For planned moves or renovations, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. This gives us time to schedule the right team and vehicle and, if needed, carry out a survey. However, we understand that circumstances change quickly, so we always keep some flexibility for short-notice jobs. Even if your dates are not fixed yet, it is worth getting in touch early to discuss options.
At Man and Van Fitzrovia, we provide a complete packing and boxes service for homes and businesses across Fitzrovia and the surrounding central London areas. As an experienced removals company, we know that careful, well-organised packing is the difference between a smooth move and a stressful one.
Our dedicated packing teams handle everything from single-room student moves to full family homes and busy offices. We supply high-quality removal boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap and specialist materials, then pack your belongings securely, label everything clearly and prepare items for safe transport.
Whether you are moving within Fitzrovia, across London or further afield, we ensure your possessions are protected from the moment we arrive until the last box is unloaded.
If you are selling or buying in Fitzrovia, our team can carry out a full home pack, including fragile items, artwork, mirrors and wardrobes. We reduce disruption so you can focus on contracts and completion rather than boxes and tape.
For tenants moving between rented flats in and around Fitzrovia, we offer flexible part-packing and full-packing options. We can focus on the tricky rooms (kitchen, ornaments, electronics) while you handle clothes and everyday items, or we can take care of absolutely everything.
Landlords and letting agents use us to clear and pack contents between tenancies. We carefully pack furniture, appliances and inventories, helping you turn properties around quickly while keeping your fixtures and fittings protected.
Offices, studios, shops and clinics in Fitzrovia rely on our professional packing for relocations or internal moves. We pack IT equipment, files, stock, display units and sensitive equipment using appropriate materials and labelling systems, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Students around Fitzrovia and nearby universities benefit from our affordable packing and boxes packages. We supply the right size boxes, help pack books, clothes, kitchen essentials and tech, and move everything to halls, shared houses or storage.
Our service is tailored, but typically includes:
For safety, insurance and legal reasons, there are some items we cannot pack or transport:
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you clearly in advance.
You contact Man and Van Fitzrovia with basic details: property size, address in Fitzrovia, destination, dates and the level of packing help you need. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining packing, materials and any associated moving services.
For larger homes or offices, we arrange a short video or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volume, access, fragile items and any special requirements. Accurate surveys ensure we send the right number of trained packers, the correct materials and appropriately sized vehicles.
On the agreed day, our professional team arrives on time with all boxes and materials. We systematically pack room by room, wrapping fragile items, dismantling agreed furniture and labelling boxes clearly. We protect floors, banisters and doorways where needed to minimise any risk of marks or damage.
Once packing is complete, our removals crew loads everything into our well-maintained vehicles. Items are secured using straps and blankets to prevent movement in transit. We then transport your possessions safely to your new property, storage unit or designated destination.
At the destination, we unload and place boxes and furniture into the correct rooms according to your labels and instructions. If you have chosen our unpacking service, we can also unpack boxes, place items on surfaces and remove used packing materials.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes usually combine:
There are no hidden charges. Parking, congestion and access considerations in Fitzrovia are discussed in advance so you know exactly what to expect. For smaller moves, we can offer simple per-hour packages with a minimum booking time.
Packing yourself can be time-consuming and physically demanding, especially in busy central London locations like Fitzrovia. Professional packing offers several advantages:
Compared with a casual man-and-van, our trained teams follow proven methods, use better-quality materials and are fully insured, giving you much higher protection if anything goes wrong.
Man and Van Fitzrovia operates to high professional standards across all packing and removals work:
We treat your possessions with the same care we would give our own, and we document any pre-existing issues honestly so everything is transparent.
Protection is at the core of our packing and boxes service:
We also aim to minimise waste:
Our goal is a safe, efficient move with as little environmental impact as practical.
We regularly help families and professionals moving in and out of Fitzrovia flats and townhouses. Tight stairwells, parking restrictions and busy streets are familiar challenges, and our packing service ensures everything is ready to move quickly when access is available.
Creative studios, agencies and clinics in Fitzrovia rely on us to pack IT equipment, files and specialist equipment carefully and consistently. Our labelling systems mean your team can find what they need immediately at the new premises.
Sometimes moves come up at short notice. Where our schedule allows, we provide same-day or next-day packing and moving support, bringing enough staff to get you packed and relocated quickly while still protecting your belongings properly.
Costs depend on the size of your property, how much you want us to pack and the materials required. Smaller flats may only need a few hours of labour and a limited number of boxes, while larger homes or offices require more time and materials. We will ask you some simple questions, or carry out a short survey, then provide a clear written quote. This will break down packing labour, boxes, protective materials and any additional services so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Where our diary allows, we can provide same-day or next-day packing and moving support in Fitzrovia. Urgent jobs are usually handled on an hourly basis with a minimum booking, and we will send enough trained staff to complete the work safely in the time available. Availability is best if you contact us as early in the day as possible. We will always be honest about what can realistically be achieved within your timescale and recommend priorities if time is tight.
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are being moved, along with public liability cover for work in your home or business premises. Insurance applies when our teams have packed and handled the items using our recommended materials and methods. We will explain the key terms before the job so you understand what is and is not covered, and we encourage you to tell us about any particularly high-value or fragile items so we can give them extra attention.
Our service typically includes supply of strong boxes, tape, wrapping materials and professional packing by our team. We can pack your entire property or just specific rooms such as the kitchen or office. Boxes are labelled clearly by room and general contents, making unloading and unpacking at the new address much easier. If required, we can also provide an unpacking service and remove used materials afterwards. Your written quote will set out exactly what is included for your particular move.
A casual man-and-van often focuses on transport only, leaving you to provide boxes, pack everything and take the risks. Our service combines professional packing, appropriate materials, trained staff and full insurance cover. We survey where needed, plan access in Fitzrovia, protect your property and follow structured processes for loading and unloading. This greatly reduces the chance of damage, delays or disputes, and gives you a single, accountable team looking after your move from start to finish.
For best availability, we recommend booking packing and removals two to four weeks in advance, especially if you are moving at the end of the month or on a Friday. This gives us time to carry out any surveys, reserve the right number of packers and order specific materials if required. However, we understand that exchange and completion dates can change at short notice, so we always try to be flexible and accommodate last-minute moves in Fitzrovia where our schedule allows.
At Man and Van Fitzrovia, we provide efficient, carefully planned office removals across Fitzrovia and the surrounding Central London areas. With years of hands-on experience moving businesses of all sizes, we focus on minimising downtime, protecting your equipment, and keeping your team working with as little disruption as possible.
Our office removals service is built around the specific needs of modern workplaces in Fitzrovia – from small creative studios to multi-floor corporate offices. We understand lease deadlines, building access restrictions, lift bookings and the pressure of IT cutover times. Every move is planned in detail, then carried out by a trained, professional, fully insured removals team.
We can move you within the same building, across Fitzrovia, or to a new location anywhere in London or the UK. Whether you’re relocating a single department or an entire head office, we’ll align our work with your schedule and your business priorities.
Although this page focuses on offices, our structured commercial service is suitable for a wide range of clients in Fitzrovia:
Our standard office removal service typically covers:
For safety, licensing and insurance reasons, we normally cannot move:
If you are unsure whether an item can be moved, we will advise during the survey and, if needed, recommend a suitable specialist.
You contact us with an outline of your move: current and new addresses, your expected dates, floor levels, lift access and an idea of what needs moving. We respond promptly with guidance and, where appropriate, an initial estimate. For straightforward smaller offices, we can often provide a clear, written quote based on information and photos.
For most office moves, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, stairways, lift sizes, and the volume and nature of your furniture and equipment. We will discuss crates, packing requirements, IT considerations and any phased working you require. After the survey, we send a detailed written quotation with no hidden extras.
We can provide a full packing service or work alongside your team. Options include:
We plan the sequence of the move so that key departments and IT can be reconnected as quickly as possible.
On move day, our trained crew arrive on time with the right vehicles and protective materials. We protect lifts and communal areas as required by building management, then systematically load everything using trolleys, skates and ramps. Goods travel in purpose-built removal vehicles with goods in transit insurance for your peace of mind.
At your new premises, we unload and place items to your agreed floor plan. Desks and furniture are reassembled, crates are positioned at the correct workstations, and larger IT items are placed ready for your technicians or our partners to reconnect. We aim to leave your office functional, tidy and ready for staff to return.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:
You will receive a written quotation detailing what is included, labour assumptions, vehicle numbers and any optional extras. If your scope changes, we explain the impact clearly before proceeding. No surprise charges at the end.
Trying to move an office yourself or using a casual man-with-van can quickly lead to damaged equipment, injured staff and extended downtime. Our professional office removals service offers:
The result is a safer move, less disruption to your staff and a far lower risk of costly damage or delays.
As a responsible removals company, we operate to recognised industry standards and carry appropriate insurance for office moves:
Policy details and limits are available on request, and can be supplied to landlords or building managers where required.
We treat your office contents and premises with the same care we would our own:
We also work to reduce environmental impact by:
Many professionals in Fitzrovia now split their time between home and office. We can relocate home office setups – desks, chairs, monitors and files – either as part of a domestic move or alongside a commercial office relocation, making sure your working environment is ready from day one.
From boutique agencies on upper floors to established practices moving to larger premises, we manage complete office relocations. Moves can be phased department-by-department, over evenings or weekends, so your business continues to operate with minimal interruption.
Lease issues, unexpected growth or building problems sometimes mean you have to move quickly. Subject to availability, we offer same-day and short-notice office removals in Fitzrovia. We focus on stabilising your essential operations first – IT, key staff workstations and vital documents – then complete the remainder in a controlled, organised way.
Costs depend mainly on the size of your office, access at each property, distance between locations and the amount of packing or disassembly required. Smaller office moves within Fitzrovia may be priced on a fixed rate, while larger or more complex projects are usually quoted after a survey. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear, written quotation outlining labour, vehicles and any optional services so you can see exactly what you are paying for before you commit.
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice office removals in Fitzrovia. Urgent moves are planned quickly but carefully, focusing first on business-critical areas such as IT, key staff desks and essential files. The more information you can give us upfront, the better we can allocate vehicles and crew. While advance booking is always preferable, we understand urgent situations occur and will do our best to accommodate them safely and efficiently.
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy limits and standard exclusions. We also hold public liability cover for work in and around your buildings. Insurance is not a substitute for proper packing, so we still take great care in protecting equipment and furniture. We will happily share our policy details for your records or for building management, and can discuss any particularly high-value items in advance.
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, equipment and packed crates between the agreed addresses. We place items in the designated rooms or areas and reassemble furniture we have dismantled. On request, we can add crate hire, packing services, IT de-racking and re-racking support, out-of-hours working and clearance of unwanted items. Your quotation will clearly list what is included so you can decide whether to add any optional services.
A casual man-and-van service typically focuses on transport only, with limited planning, protection or insurance. Our professional office removals service includes pre-move surveys, methodical planning around your operations, trained staff, appropriate insurance, and the right equipment for offices and shared buildings. We work with building management, protect lifts and communal areas, and follow a clear sequence to reduce downtime. This structured approach significantly lowers risk and disruption compared with an ad hoc transport-only option.
For most office moves, we recommend booking as early as possible – ideally four to six weeks ahead for larger relocations, and at least one to two weeks for smaller offices. Early booking gives us time to survey, plan with your team, coordinate with building management and arrange crates or packing materials. However, we understand that business circumstances change, so if you have a tight timescale, contact us and we will do our best to schedule your move within your required window.
At Man and Van Fitzrovia we provide a reliable, fully managed man with a van service for moves of all sizes across Fitzrovia and the surrounding central London areas. Whether you are moving a single item or a full flat, you get a professional, fully insured team led by an experienced local removals specialist, not a casual side-jobber.
We combine the flexibility of a small van move with the standards of a full removals company – clear communication, careful handling, and punctual arrivals.
Ideal for smaller house moves, part moves, or getting bulky items to and from storage. We regularly help Fitzrovia homeowners with furniture swaps, appliance collection, and downsizing moves where a full lorry simply is not required.
Most of our day-to-day work is with tenants moving between flats in and around Fitzrovia. We can handle everything from a studio to a two-bed flat, navigating tight stairwells, lifts, and resident parking restrictions common in central London blocks.
Landlords use our man with a van service to clear or re-furnish properties between tenancies. We can remove unwanted items, deliver new furniture, and position everything ready for marketing photos or check-in.
From small office relocations to ad-hoc deliveries, we support Fitzrovia’s agencies, clinics, studios, and retailers. Our team is used to handling IT equipment, desks, archives, and stock with minimal disruption to your trading or working day.
We regularly move students to and from halls and shared houses around UCL, SOAS, and other central London campuses. We offer straightforward pricing, help with packing if needed, and can work around tight move-in and move-out windows.
Our man with a van Fitzrovia teams handle most household and office items, including:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some exclusions:
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, just ask – we will advise honestly and, where needed, signpost suitable alternatives.
Working daily in Fitzrovia means we understand the realities of moving here: narrow one-way streets, bus lanes, controlled parking, and busy loading bays. We plan routes and timing carefully, often arranging parking in advance to minimise walking distances and protect your belongings.
We are familiar with mansion blocks, purpose-built flats, mews houses and commercial premises off streets like Charlotte Street, Great Titchfield Street and Tottenham Court Road. That local experience allows us to choose the right vehicle size, tools, and manpower for your move.
Contact us by phone, email or online form with your addresses, approximate inventory, and preferred dates. We will ask a few practical questions (floors, lifts, parking, access times) and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day.
For straightforward jobs we can assess everything via photos or a short video call. For larger or more complex moves, we may recommend a quick onsite survey in Fitzrovia or nearby. This ensures we allocate the right van size, number of movers and equipment such as trolleys and mattress covers.
You can choose between:
We label items by room and use protective covers and blankets as standard to minimise the risk of damage.
On moving day we arrive on time, walk through the job with you, and then load systematically. Furniture is wrapped or blanket-protected, and items are stacked safely in the van to prevent movement in transit. We use straps, trolleys and ramps where needed to protect both your items and the property.
At the destination we place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify, not just in the hallway. We can reassemble basic furniture that we dismantled, position white goods, and perform a final check with you before we leave, so any small adjustments are dealt with there and then.
We believe in clear, up-front pricing. Most man with a van Fitzrovia jobs are priced either:
Our quotes always explain what is included: number of movers, van size, estimated duration, travel time and any parking considerations. There are no hidden call-out fees. If we think your move could be done more cost-effectively (for example, with fewer movers at a different time of day), we will tell you.
It may be tempting to hire a cheap van or an unvetted operator found online, but there are real risks: damage to property, injury, unreliable timing and no recourse if something goes wrong. With Man and Van Fitzrovia you get:
In many cases the overall cost is similar to doing it yourself, once you factor in van hire, fuel, congestion charges, parking and your own time.
Every move we complete is covered by appropriate insurance for your peace of mind:
Our teams are trained in manual handling, use of moving equipment and property protection. We work to clear, consistent procedures so that every job – however small – is carried out with the same professional standards.
We take care of your belongings as if they were our own. That means planning access, using floor and banister protection where necessary, and never rushing at the expense of safety. For larger or fragile items we may recommend extra packing or custom protection, and we will explain why.
We also aim to work more sustainably: reusing sturdy boxes where possible, opting for reusable furniture blankets instead of single-use plastics, and planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage. When clearing properties, we try to prioritise reuse or responsible recycling over landfill whenever practical.
Perfect for one- and two-bedroom moves within central London, or for transporting the contents of selected rooms to storage while you renovate. We regularly coordinate with building concierges to manage lift bookings and loading bay access.
From design studios to consulting rooms, we move furniture, IT, and files with minimal downtime. We can work outside standard office hours, including early mornings, evenings and weekends, to avoid disrupting clients or staff.
Things do not always go to plan – a tenancy may fall through, a storage unit may need clearing quickly, or a delivery may be let down at the last minute. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day man with a van support in Fitzrovia and nearby postcodes. Contact us as early as possible so we can advise on availability.
Costs depend on the size of the move, access at each property, distance travelled and how many movers you require. Smaller local jobs are often billed by the hour with a minimum booking period, while larger or more complex moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. When you contact us, we will ask for some details about your inventory and locations, then provide a clear estimate with no hidden extras. If budget is a concern, we can suggest ways to keep costs down, such as self-packing or flexible timings.
Yes, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice moves in Fitzrovia, particularly on weekdays outside peak times. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size and complexity of your job. The more information you can give us when you call – addresses, floors, parking situation and an approximate inventory – the faster we can confirm whether we can help. For urgent moves we prioritise clear communication, realistic arrival windows, and practical solutions, even if that means suggesting a phased move over more than one visit.
All moves we carry out are protected by goods in transit insurance, which covers your items while they are being handled and transported by us, subject to policy terms and conditions. We also hold public liability insurance, which covers accidental damage to third-party property or injury arising from our work. Our team will explain any exclusions – for example, certain high-value items or owner-packed boxes – and, where appropriate, may recommend additional specialist cover. Our aim is to be transparent so you know exactly how your belongings are protected.
Our standard service includes a suitable van, fuel, an experienced driver-mover and at least one additional mover where needed. We provide protective blankets, straps and basic tools for furniture disassembly and reassembly. Loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify are all included. We can also supply packing materials, full or part packing services, and disposal or recycling of unwanted items by prior arrangement. When we quote, we spell out exactly what is covered so you can compare like-for-like with other providers and make an informed choice.
Many basic man-and-van operators work informally, with limited insurance, variable reliability and no clear standards. Our Fitzrovia service is run as a professional removals operation: trained staff, documented bookings, agreed arrival windows and proper insurance. We use the right equipment, plan for access and parking, and provide support before and after moving day. In practice this means fewer breakages, less stress and a smoother overall experience, often at a similar overall cost once you factor in your time, potential damage and any hidden extras from cheaper operators.
For weekend and month-end moves, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and around university term dates. For midweek or smaller jobs, we often have availability with a few days’ notice, and sometimes can help the same day. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we have on timing and pricing options. Even if your moving date is not fixed yet, it is worth getting in touch so we can discuss options and pencil you into the diary if needed.
At Man and Van Fitzrovia we provide a reliable, well-organised removals service for homes and businesses across Fitzrovia and the surrounding central London postcodes. As a local operator with years of hands-on experience in London moves, we understand the buildings, parking restrictions and access challenges that can make or break moving day.
Whether you are relocating a small flat, a family home, an office or a student room, our focus is on careful handling, clear communication and punctual, stress-free moves. Every job is carried out by a trained, professional, fully insured team using suitable vehicles and equipment.
We offer a structured, end-to-end removals service designed for city moves in and around Fitzrovia:
All moves are covered by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for your peace of mind.
Working daily in Fitzrovia means we know the one-way systems, controlled parking zones and typical building layouts inside out. We routinely handle moves in mansion blocks, new developments and period conversions around areas such as Charlotte Street, Great Portland Street and surrounding W1 postcodes.
Our local knowledge allows us to:
This practical experience helps keep your move efficient, safe and on schedule.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of London, we manage full household removals including furniture, white goods, garden items and stored belongings. We can coordinate with estate agents, concierges and building managers where required.
We regularly help tenants move between rental properties, often on tight timelines. We are careful with stairwells, communal areas and inventories, helping you leave your old place in good order and settle quickly into your new home.
Landlords and property managers use our professional teams for clearing furnished lets, moving in or out furniture packages, and preparing properties between tenancies. We work tidily and can coordinate keys and access with your agents.
For offices, clinics, studios and retail units in Fitzrovia, we offer planned relocations with minimal downtime. We move desks, chairs, IT equipment, stock, archive boxes and more, with protective wrapping and clear labelling so you can get back to work quickly.
Students benefit from a cost-effective, flexible service for moving between halls, private rentals and home addresses. We can handle everything from a few boxes and bags to complete room contents, with evening and weekend options where available.
As a full-service removals company, we handle most household and office contents, including:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons we cannot transport certain items, or we may need to discuss them in advance:
If you are unsure about any item, please mention it during your enquiry so we can advise appropriately.
You contact us with the basic details of your move: addresses, property size, likely contents and preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually on a fixed-price basis for full moves, so you know exactly what is included.
For anything beyond a very small move, we recommend a short survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit. We confirm access, parking, lift availability, stairs, and any awkward items. This helps us allocate the right team, vehicle and equipment and avoid surprises on the day.
You can choose between:
We can also dismantle large furniture where necessary and protect doorways, bannisters and floors.
On moving day the team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and begins loading systematically. Items are wrapped, padded and secured using blankets, straps and trolleys. Our vehicles are clean, well-maintained and fully equipped. We then transport your goods directly to the new address or to storage if arranged.
At the destination we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble previously dismantled furniture and position key items so that beds, sofas and desks are usable from day one. Before we leave, we invite you to walk through and check that everything is where you want it.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. For most moves we provide a fixed quotation based on:
Smaller jobs and student moves may be priced at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. All costs are confirmed in writing before you book, and any optional extras are clearly listed so you can make informed choices.
Moving yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van can work for very small jobs, but there are significant risks once you have heavier items or a full property to move.
As a responsible removals company, we operate to clear standards and carry appropriate cover:
We treat your possessions as if they were our own, with careful packing, secure loading and methodical unloading.
Our approach balances care for your belongings with consideration for the environment:
We also take care to protect your property, using floor covers and corner protectors where needed and working tidily so that communal areas are left clean and safe.
Typical house and flat moves in Fitzrovia involve tight staircases, lift bookings and limited parking. We coordinate timings, liaise with concierges and manage loading so that you can pick up keys, sign documents and settle in while we handle the heavy lifting.
For small to medium offices, we can move during evenings or weekends to minimise disruption. We label crates and furniture, follow your floor plan and work closely with your IT team to ensure that equipment is transported safely and set down where required.
Life does not always give much notice. Where we have availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day moves within Fitzrovia and nearby areas. We still follow a structured process, but we move quickly to put a workable plan in place.
Costs vary depending on property size, distance and the level of service you choose. A small local flat move will usually be significantly cheaper than a full family home relocation, especially if packing is included. After a brief questionnaire or survey we provide a clear written quote, often on a fixed-price basis, so you know exactly what you will pay. There are no hidden extras for stairs or basic dismantling unless agreed in advance, and we are always happy to explain how the price has been calculated.
Where our schedule allows, we can accommodate same-day or short-notice moves within Fitzrovia and nearby areas. The more information you can provide at the point of enquiry, the easier it is for us to allocate the right vehicle and team. While advance booking is always preferable, we understand that emergencies happen – tenancy dates change, deals complete suddenly, or other movers cancel. Contact us as soon as possible and we will confirm what is realistically achievable on your timescale.
All moves carried out by Man and Van Fitzrovia are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded. We also carry public liability insurance to cover accidental damage to buildings or third-party property. These policies sit alongside our careful working practices and trained staff. Specific limits and terms are available on request, and we recommend that you also check any separate home or business insurance you hold for additional reassurance.
Every removal includes a vehicle of suitable size, a trained team, protective equipment and loading and unloading at both addresses. We place items into the rooms you specify and handle basic protection of furniture with blankets and straps. Quotations can also include packing materials, full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and additional stops if needed. Anything included or excluded will be clearly listed on your quote, so there are no surprises on moving day.
A basic man-and-van typically offers transport and labour but may not provide the planning, protection, insurance and reliability of a dedicated removals company. With us you get a professional, fully insured team, appropriate materials, a confirmed booking and a structured process from enquiry to completion. We carry out surveys for larger moves, allocate the correct number of movers and vehicles, and take responsibility for protecting both your belongings and the properties involved. This significantly reduces the risk of delays, damage and last-minute cancellations.
For peak times such as Fridays, month-ends and summer, we recommend booking as soon as you have a firm date – ideally two to four weeks in advance. This gives us time to arrange surveys, parking and packing where required. However, we understand that in central London completion dates can move at short notice. If your plans are still provisional, we can pencil you in and confirm once your date is fixed, subject to availability. Short-notice moves are often possible, especially mid-week.
Moving in or out of Fitzrovia? At Man and Van Fitzrovia we provide a complete, reliable removals service designed around the busy central London lifestyle. Whether you are moving a studio flat, a family home or a small office, our professional team handles every stage of your move with care, planning and clear communication.
Our removals service is a structured, end-to-end solution, not just a van and a bit of lifting. Typical moves include:
We can also provide full packing and part-packing services, along with quality packing materials delivered in advance if you prefer to pack yourself.
Fitzrovia presents its own challenges: tight streets, residents' parking, commercial loading bays and period buildings with narrow staircases. Working here every day means we know:
That local knowledge helps your move run smoothly, with fewer delays and less stress on the day.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we provide a structured, carefully planned move. We protect doors, bannisters and flooring, and we treat your belongings as if they were our own.
From studio flats to multi-room sharers, we regularly help tenants move on fixed dates and within strict time windows. We can assist with dismantling beds, wardrobes and shelving, and we pay attention to protecting walls and floors to help you leave the property in good condition.
We support landlords with end-of-tenancy removals, cleared possessions, and moves between properties. This can include removing unwanted furniture, relocating items to storage, or setting up a newly furnished let.
For small offices, clinics, studios and shops, we offer office removals that minimise downtime. We carefully handle IT equipment, files, desks and specialist items, working outside core business hours where needed to keep disruption low.
We provide cost-effective moves for students in and around Fitzrovia, including term-time relocations and moves to and from university halls or shared houses. Compact moves are scheduled efficiently so you only pay for what you actually need.
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need to be discussed beforehand:
If you are unsure whether we can move something, just mention it during your enquiry and we will clarify what is possible and how it is insured.
You contact us with your key details: addresses, access information, move date and a rough list of items. We ask specific questions to understand your requirements properly. Based on this, we provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras, explaining what is and is not included.
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be carried out virtually (video call and photos) or onsite in Fitzrovia. We assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and the volume of goods. This allows us to choose the right size vehicle, the right number of movers and the correct time allocation for a realistic, accurate price.
You can choose from:
We label boxes clearly, protect fragile items and prepare furniture for safe transit, including dismantling where required.
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you, and then protects key areas before loading. Items are stacked securely in the vehicle using blankets, webbing and specialist equipment. We then transport everything directly to the new address on the agreed route, keeping you updated on progress.
At your new property we unload methodically, placing boxes and furniture into the rooms you specify. We reassemble agreed items, check that everything you expected has arrived, and only leave when you are satisfied with the placement and condition of your belongings.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are typically based on:
You will receive a written estimate setting out the rate structure (fixed price for defined work, or hourly where appropriate). Any potential extra costs (e.g. extended waiting time due to key delays) are explained in advance so there are no surprises.
Hiring a cheap van and a couple of helpers can look attractive on paper, but it often leads to damage, delays and additional costs. With a professional removals service you benefit from:
In central London especially, incorrect parking, poor packing and rushed lifting can quickly become expensive. Professional removals reduce that risk significantly.
We operate as a fully insured and accountable removals business, not a casual man-with-a-van operation.
We also work to clear booking, cancellation and claims procedures, which we share with you before confirming your move so everything is transparent.
We put a strong emphasis on protecting both your belongings and the properties we work in. This includes:
We are also mindful of sustainability. Wherever possible we reuse sturdy cartons, reduce unnecessary trips, and plan routes efficiently to cut fuel usage. When packaging cannot be reused, we dispose of it through responsible recycling channels.
Most of our work involves local and cross-London home moves. From top-floor walk-ups to modern developments with lifts and concierge, we tailor the crew and timing to your specific building and schedule.
We regularly move small offices, creative studios and treatment rooms in Fitzrovia. Moves are often scheduled outside normal working hours, and we label and position items carefully so staff can resume work quickly at the new site.
Where our diary allows, we support same-day and next-day moves, particularly smaller flats or partial loads. We focus on clear communication about what can realistically be achieved on a tight timescale, so you can make an informed decision.
Costs vary depending on the size of your move, access, distance and whether you need packing services. A small flat move within Fitzrovia might be charged on an hourly rate, while a larger home or office is usually priced as a fixed quote after a survey. Our estimates clearly show what is included, such as the number of movers, vehicle size and any packing materials. There are no hidden extras, and potential additional charges (for example, waiting for keys) are explained in advance.
Same-day or next-day removals are sometimes possible, particularly for smaller moves, part-loads or local relocations. Availability depends on our existing schedule, vehicle capacity and staff levels, so the earlier you call, the better the chance we can help. For urgent moves we may streamline services, focusing on essential items first and arranging a follow-up trip if needed. We will always be honest about what can be achieved safely within the time available.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved, subject to policy terms and value limits, and we also hold public liability cover. During your quotation we explain how the insurance works, what is covered, and how high-value items should be declared. While our teams take great care to avoid any issues, it is important you understand the cover in place so that, in the unlikely event of a problem, the claims process is clear and straightforward.
Our standard service includes a suitably sized vehicle, professional movers, protective blankets, basic furniture disassembly and reassembly (by prior agreement), loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We can add packing services, supply materials and arrange storage if required. We also provide advice on preparation, parking and building access. What is and is not included will be outlined clearly in your written quote so that you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
A basic man-and-van usually offers transport and labour only, often without formal training, insurance or planning. Our removals service is a structured, fully managed move: we survey in advance, allocate the right crew and vehicle, plan access and timing, protect your property, and provide documented insurance cover. We also offer packing options, materials and post-move support. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs, giving you a more controlled and predictable move.
For most home and office moves we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday or at month-end, when demand is higher. That said, we always try to accommodate shorter notice where the schedule allows. Once you have a likely completion or move date, it is wise to contact us so we can pencil you in and discuss options. Your booking is confirmed when you accept our quote and our terms.
