Furniture Removals
Furniture Removals in Tottenham by Man and Van Tottenham
At Man and Van Tottenham, we provide reliable, carefully planned furniture removals across Tottenham and the surrounding areas. As a local removals company, we understand the buildings, parking restrictions and access issues in N15 and N17, and we use that knowledge to make your move smoother and less stressful.
Professional Furniture Removals You Can Rely On
Our furniture removals service is designed for anyone who needs large or heavy items moved safely. Whether you are moving an entire flat, clearing a rental property or relocating office furniture, our professional team handles everything with care.
Every move is carried out by trained staff, using protective equipment, clean vehicles and correct lifting techniques. We wrap and protect your furnishings, plan the route, and manage the job from start to finish so you do not have to worry about damage, delays or last-minute problems.
Local Expertise in Tottenham
Operating daily in Tottenham, we know the local streets, estates and main routes extremely well. This helps us plan around bus lanes, school runs and event traffic, particularly around Tottenham High Road, Seven Sisters, Bruce Grove and Northumberland Park.
Our local experience means we can:
- Advise on parking and access for vans outside flats and terraced homes
- Plan moves around permit zones and loading restrictions
- Work efficiently in high-rise blocks and older properties with tight staircases
Because we are based in the area, we can also offer flexible timing and short-notice furniture removals in Tottenham when our schedule allows.
Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect for house and flat moves in Tottenham, whether you are upsizing, downsizing or completing on a sale. We can move full households or just the bigger, awkward items you cannot manage yourself.
Renters
If you are changing rented accommodation, our service helps you move quickly and avoid damage that could affect your deposit. We regularly assist tenants moving between shared houses, studios and small flats.
Landlords
Landlords in Tottenham use us to clear or re-furnish properties between tenancies. We handle removals of unwanted furniture, delivery of new items and rearranging existing pieces for new tenants.
Businesses
From small offices along Tottenham High Road to workshops and retail units, we move desks, filing cabinets, displays and storage units. Our professional teams work efficiently to minimise downtime.
Students
Students moving to or from halls and shared houses often only need furniture and a few boxes moved. Our service is ideal for smaller, budget-conscious moves with flexible timing.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
We regularly move:
- Sofas, armchairs, sofa beds and recliners
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes, chests of drawers
- Dining tables, chairs, sideboards, bookcases
- Office desks, meeting tables, filing cabinets
- TV units, coffee tables and occasional furniture
- Flat-pack furniture (dismantled or assembled, where access allows)
Items Usually Excluded or By Special Arrangement
For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need prior agreement:
- Hazardous materials (fuels, chemicals, paints, gas bottles)
- Valuables such as cash, jewellery, important documents
- Very heavy specialist items (e.g. pianos, safes) unless agreed in advance
- Animals and live plants in quantity
- Perishable or frozen food
If you are unsure whether an item can be moved, just ask. Where needed, we can arrange specialist handling at additional cost.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: addresses, access information, a list of main items and preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume, complexity and distance of your move.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves or properties with awkward access, we carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess stairs, lifts, parking and furniture size so we can allocate the right team, vehicle and time.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day, we protect your furniture using blankets, covers and, where needed, shrink wrap. If agreed in advance, we can also offer packing and basic dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture items.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team carefully loads your furniture into the van, securing items to prevent movement in transit. We then transport everything directly to your new address using planned, efficient routes across Tottenham and beyond.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload and place furniture in the rooms you specify. We can reassemble items agreed beforehand and will not leave until you are happy that everything is where it needs to be.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals in Tottenham
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume and number of furniture items
- Access difficulty (stairs, lifts, long walks to van)
- Distance between properties
- Additional services (packing, dismantling, disposal)
- Day and time (weekends or evenings may carry a premium)
You will receive a clear written quote with no hidden charges. If your requirements change before moving day, we update the quote so you know exactly what to expect.
Why Choose Professional Removals Instead of DIY
Hiring a professional removals company like Man and Van Tottenham offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using an unregulated casual service:
- Safety: Our trained staff use correct lifting techniques and equipment to avoid injury and damage.
- Protection: We use proper covers, blankets and tie-downs to protect your belongings and property.
- Insurance: Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance, and our work is backed by public liability cover.
- Reliability: Booked times, written confirmations and a professional office to contact.
- Efficiency: Experienced movers complete jobs faster, saving you time and multiple trips.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your furniture is important, whether it is brand new or has sentimental value. We protect it through:
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property
- Trained moving teams who understand safe handling, packing and loading
We work to recognised industry standards, maintain our vehicles properly and regularly review our procedures so that every removal is carried out to a high, consistent level.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped and secured, floors and doorways are protected where needed, and we plan the order of loading to minimise the risk of marks or damage.
We also aim to work as sustainably as possible by:
- Reusing and recycling packing materials where safe and hygienic
- Planning efficient routes to reduce fuel use
- Disposing of unwanted furniture responsibly through licensed facilities or reuse schemes
Real-World Use Cases for Our Furniture Removals
Moving House in Tottenham
From terraced houses near Bruce Grove to flats near Seven Sisters, we move whole households or just the larger items, coordinating with your completion time where needed.
Office Relocations
We move desks, chairs, filing cabinets and meeting room furniture for small and medium-sized businesses. Evening or weekend moves can be arranged to reduce disruption.
Urgent or Same-Day Moves
Sometimes plans change suddenly. Where availability allows, we can provide urgent or same-day furniture removals in Tottenham, including last-minute landlord requests or emergency moves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Tottenham cost?
The cost depends on the size of your move, access at each property and the distance travelled. Smaller jobs, such as a few items of furniture within Tottenham, are usually charged on a set price or hourly basis. Larger house or office moves are priced after a more detailed assessment or survey. We provide a clear written quote before you book, outlining what is included. There are no hidden charges, and if your requirements change, we update the quote so you always know where you stand.
Can you provide same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or urgent furniture removals in Tottenham. This is often possible during weekdays or quieter periods, but availability can be limited at weekends or month-end. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as possible with details of what needs moving, both addresses and any access issues. We will let you know straight away what we can do, provide a fast quote, and if you are happy, we will confirm your booking immediately.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported, subject to standard terms and conditions. We also carry public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. We ask that you tell us in advance about any particularly high-value or fragile items so we can confirm cover and take extra precautions. While insurance is there for peace of mind, our main focus is preventing damage in the first place through careful packing, handling and loading.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, protective blankets and covers, safe loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We place furniture in the rooms you specify and take basic care to protect floors and walls during the move. Additional services, such as packing, dismantling and reassembly or disposal of unwanted items, can be added by arrangement. Everything that is included will be clearly listed in your quote so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, low-risk jobs, but a professional removals service offers far more. We provide trained moving teams, the right equipment, insurance cover and proper planning of each job. Furniture is wrapped and secured, and we assess access and parking in advance. You also receive written confirmations, clear pricing and support if your plans change. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute cancellations that can occur with informal services.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially for weekends and month-end, which are our busiest periods. However, we understand that moves do not always come with much notice, so we will always try to accommodate last-minute bookings where we can. Even if your moving date is not confirmed yet, it is worth contacting us early to discuss your plans, get a provisional quote and check availability.
Piano Removals
Piano Removals Tottenham – Man and Van Tottenham
Moving a piano is not the same as moving normal furniture. It demands specialist equipment, experience and care. At Man and Van Tottenham, we provide dedicated piano removals throughout Tottenham and the surrounding areas, ensuring your instrument is moved safely, efficiently and with full respect for your property.
Specialist Piano Moving Expertise in Tottenham
We have many years’ hands-on experience moving pianos in busy North London streets, tight terraced houses and high-rise flats. Our local knowledge of Tottenham’s roads, parking restrictions and building layouts means we can plan every move carefully and minimise disruption to you and your neighbours.
Whether you are relocating your piano across Tottenham, elsewhere in London or to another part of the UK, our professional team will handle every stage, from careful preparation to final positioning in your new space.
Who Our Piano Removal Service Is For
Our piano removals service is designed for:
- Homeowners upgrading, downsizing or relocating and needing a safe move for a treasured family piano.
- Renters moving between flats or houses where access is tight and stairs are challenging.
- Landlords managing furnished properties that include upright or digital pianos.
- Businesses such as schools, studios, theatres, churches and event venues requiring reliable piano transport.
- Students at music colleges or universities moving practice pianos between accommodation and campus.
From a single piano move to a full house removal that includes an instrument, we can tailor our service to suit your needs and schedule.
What Types of Pianos We Move
We safely move a wide range of instruments, including:
- Upright pianos – standard and tall uprights in homes, halls and schools.
- Digital pianos & keyboards – including weighted-key instruments and stage pianos.
- Baby grand & grand pianos – moved in partnership with our specialist team, with dismantling and reassembly where required.
- Pianettes & compact pianos – smaller models often found in flats and studios.
Items Included in Our Piano Removals
As part of a piano move, we typically include:
- The piano itself (upright, digital or, by prior arrangement, baby/grand).
- Piano stools and benches.
- Associated accessories such as music stands, sustain pedals and covers.
- Protective wrapping and padding for the piano and key areas of your property.
Items Excluded from This Service
To keep the service clear and safe, the following are usually excluded unless agreed in advance:
- General household contents (these can be moved under our house removals service).
- Non-standard heavy machinery (e.g. safes, large workshop tools).
- Specialist restoration, tuning or repair work – we can recommend local partners.
- Pianos that cannot be moved safely due to structural issues or extreme access constraints (we will always advise honestly after a survey).
Our Step-by-Step Piano Removal Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Man and Van Tottenham by phone, email or online form with details of your piano, both addresses and any access information (stairs, lifts, parking, narrow doors). We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining exactly what is included and what may affect the price, such as floor level or distance.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For many upright and digital pianos a virtual survey using photos or video is sufficient. For larger or more complex moves, particularly grand pianos or properties with difficult access, we may visit in person. The survey allows us to plan equipment, team size, parking and the safest route in and out of the building.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day we protect your piano and property before anything is lifted. This typically includes:
- Fitting padded covers and blankets around the piano.
- Securing lids, key covers and removable parts.
- Protecting floors, bannisters and door frames.
- Planning each stage of the move with our trained team so everyone knows their role.
4. Loading & Transport
Your piano is carefully lifted using appropriate equipment such as piano trolleys, straps and ramps. It is secured in our vehicle using professional-grade restraints to prevent movement in transit. Our vans are clean, well-maintained and covered by goods in transit insurance for your peace of mind.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination we unload the piano with the same care, position it where you want it, and remove all protective materials. We can advise on suitable locations in the room (for example, avoiding direct heat sources or damp walls). Once in place, we recommend leaving the piano to settle before booking a tuning, especially after longer moves.
Transparent Piano Removal Pricing
We believe in clear, honest pricing with no hidden extras. Our piano removal costs are based on:
- Type and size of piano.
- Distance between addresses.
- Access difficulty (stairs, tight corners, long carries).
- Number of movers and any specialist equipment required.
- Day and time (standard hours vs evenings/weekends).
Where possible we offer a fixed price in advance. If circumstances change, we discuss any adjustments with you before proceeding. You will always know what you are paying for and why.
Why Choose Professional Piano Movers Over DIY
Attempting to move a piano yourself or with a casual man-and-van can be risky. Pianos are extremely heavy, awkward and delicate. DIY moves often lead to injuries, damage to staircases and walls, or harm to the instrument itself.
By using our professional piano removal service you benefit from:
- Trained staff who understand lifting techniques and piano construction.
- Correct trolleys, ramps and securing straps.
- Fully insured transport, protecting your piano in transit.
- Efficient planning that saves you time, stress and potential repair costs.
In most cases, the cost of a specialist service is far less than the potential cost of repairing damage from an inexperienced move.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Man and Van Tottenham operates to high professional standards, with appropriate cover for peace of mind:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your piano while it is in our vehicle.
- Public liability cover – covering accidental damage to third-party property.
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff who handle pianos regularly.
We treat every piano as if it were our own, using proven methods rather than shortcuts. If something is not safe, we will tell you honestly and suggest alternatives.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Our focus is on safeguarding your piano, your property and the environment:
- We use high-quality reusable blankets and covers to reduce waste.
- Protective floor runners help prevent scuffs and scratches.
- Our vehicles are regularly maintained to minimise emissions and breakdown risk.
- We plan routes sensibly to cut unnecessary mileage where possible.
This careful approach ensures your move is handled responsibly from start to finish.
Real-World Piano Removal Scenarios
Moving House in Tottenham
Many customers combine a full home removal with a piano move. We can integrate the piano into your wider moving plan, ensuring it is loaded and unloaded at the right time and kept secure away from other items.
Office and Commercial Relocations
Offices, schools, churches and studios in Tottenham often require piano moves as part of a broader relocation or refurbishment. We can work outside normal hours to minimise disruption, coordinating with your facilities team or building management.
Urgent or Short-Notice Piano Moves
Sometimes pianos need to be moved quickly – for example, after a property sale completes sooner than expected or when access is changing. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day solutions for urgent requests, always keeping safety as the priority.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a piano removal in Tottenham cost?
The cost of a piano removal depends mainly on the type of piano, the distance between properties and the access at each address. Upright and digital pianos are usually more straightforward and therefore cheaper than baby grands or grands. Stairs, tight corners and long carries can also affect the price as they require more time and staff. After a short conversation and, if needed, photos or a survey, we will provide a clear fixed price so you know exactly what to budget.
Can you do same-day or urgent piano removals?
Where our diary allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice piano removals in Tottenham and nearby areas. Urgent moves depend on team availability, vehicle space and the complexity of the job, so it is always best to call us as soon as you know you need to move the piano. We will give you an honest answer about what is possible, any time constraints, and a clear price before you commit, so you can decide whether it suits your needs.
Is my piano insured while you move it?
Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our vehicle, and we also carry public liability cover for work at your property. This provides protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage. During the quotation process we will explain the key terms and any limits that apply, and you are welcome to ask for clarification at any time. Our main aim is always to prevent problems in the first place through careful planning and handling.
What is included in your piano removal service?
Our standard piano removal service includes a pre-move assessment, provision of a suitably sized vehicle, trained movers, protective covers and blankets, secure loading, transport and placement of the piano at the new address. We also move the matching stool and small accessories if required. For larger or more complex pianos, dismantling and reassembly can be arranged in advance. Any additional services, such as storage or full house removals, will be clearly itemised in your quote so there are no surprises.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
Many generic man-and-van services focus on moving general items and may not have the specific equipment, training or insurance needed for pianos. Our service is built around safe handling of heavy, delicate instruments. We use appropriate trolleys, ramps and securing systems, and our staff move pianos regularly rather than occasionally. We are also fully insured for this type of work. This combination of expertise and cover significantly reduces the risk of injury or damage compared with a casual or DIY approach.
How far in advance should I book a piano removal?
To secure your preferred date and time, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as month-end and weekends. This allows us to carry out any necessary survey work and plan access and parking properly. However, we understand that moves are not always predictable, so we will always try to accommodate short-notice requests. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can usually offer in terms of timing and price.

Local Tottenham Removals Expertise
Working in Tottenham every day means we know the area and its challenges well: bus lanes, school-run times, controlled parking zones, and tight access roads. We factor all this into your move plan so you don’t have to worry about timing or parking surprises.
We regularly move customers in and around:
- Tottenham Hale and the surrounding new developments
- Seven Sisters and South Tottenham
- Bruce Grove, West Green and nearby residential streets
- Northumberland Park and estates across N15 and N17
Because we’re local, we can also react quickly to urgent moves and last‑minute changes where possible.

Homeowners
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or moving out of London, we provide a structured, carefully planned move to protect higher-value items, large furniture, and long-term possessions.
Renters
We help tenants move between rented properties with minimum fuss, paying close attention to protecting walls, floors and common areas so you don’t risk deposit deductions for damage.
Landlords
For landlords, we offer fast turnaround removals when tenancies end, including clearing furniture you supply and repositioning items between properties.
Businesses
We support small businesses and home offices with office relocation, moving desks, IT equipment, stock and archives with labelled, organised packing.
Students
Students moving in or out of Tottenham benefit from a straightforward, budget-friendly service for smaller loads, shared houses, and term‑time storage moves.
What We Can and Can’t Move
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture: beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs
- Appliances: washing machines, fridges, freezers (properly defrosted)
- Electronics: TVs, computers, audio equipment
- Personal belongings: clothing, books, ornaments, kitchenware
- Garden items: outdoor furniture, tools, barbecues (clean and empty)

Items Usually Excluded or By Special Arrangement
- Hazardous materials (fuel, paint, chemicals, gas cylinders)

- Pianos, safes or industrial machines unless pre‑agreed and surveyed
- Items fixed to the property without being disconnected or dismantled
If you have unusual, delicate or heavy items, mention them during your enquiry so we can confirm what’s possible and plan the correct equipment and staffing.
Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Initial Quote
Contact us with your moving dates, addresses, and a brief outline of your property and contents. We provide an initial estimate based on the information you share, along with advice on timings and any parking or access considerations in Tottenham.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done by video call, photos, inventory list, or an onsite visit. The survey lets us understand volumes, access, special items and any dismantling required, so we can allocate the right vehicle, trained crew and time.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything
- Fragile-only packing – we focus on breakables like glass, crockery, and artwork
- Self-packing – you pack, and we provide guidance and, if required, packing materials
On moving day, we protect floors, doors and banisters as needed and plan the loading order so essentials are accessible first at your new home.
4. Loading & Transport
Our team carefully loads your items using trolleys, blankets, straps and other professional equipment. Everything is secured in the vehicle to minimise movement in transit. Your belongings are covered by goods in transit insurance while they’re with us. We choose routes and times that work best for Tottenham traffic and access at both ends.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload room by room, placing items where you want them. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled and position major furniture and appliances so you can start settling in straight away. Before we leave, we do a final walk‑through with you to check you’re happy with the placement.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge
We believe clear pricing is essential for a smooth move. Our quotes are based on a combination of:
- Volume of items and size of property
- Distance between addresses
- Access factors (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking restrictions)
- Services required (packing, dismantling, storage, materials)
- Day and time (weekdays, evenings, weekends)
For smaller moves, we may use a competitive hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For full house removals, we typically provide a fixed price so you know the cost in advance. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional charges (for example, congestion or parking fees) are explained clearly before you book.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Moving yourself or hiring an unregulated van might seem cheaper, but it often leads to damaged items, delays and last-minute stress. As a professional removals company:
- We use the right equipment and techniques to protect furniture and property
- We provide fully insured cover for your goods while in our care
- Our trained teams know how to handle heavy, awkward and fragile items safely
- We plan timings, parking and access to avoid costly overruns
- We offer a structured process, clear documentation and reliable arrival times
In most cases, a well-organised professional move saves time, reduces risk, and often ends up being better value once vehicle hire, fuel, materials and potential damage are taken into account.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. That’s why we operate with:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect items while they’re being moved
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property
- Trained, experienced movers who follow safe handling procedures
We handle your possessions as if they were our own, using appropriate wrapping and protection for delicate or high‑risk items. If you have especially valuable belongings, let us know so we can discuss any additional measures needed.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your possessions also means looking after the environment we all share. Our approach includes:
- Reusing strong cartons and protective materials where safe and hygienic
- Offering hire of reusable crates as an alternative to single‑use boxes (where available)
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Encouraging customers to recycle or donate unwanted items rather than binning them
On the day, we use clean blankets, floor protection and careful handling techniques to minimise scuffs, scratches or other damage in both your old and new homes.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House within Tottenham
Many of our customers move just a few streets away. We plan these short-distance moves to minimise downtime, often completing them in a single day so you sleep in your new home that night.
Office and Home Office Relocation
For small offices and home-based businesses, we label and plan moves so that essential equipment and documents are accessible first, helping you get back to work quickly.
Urgent and Same-Week Moves
Sometimes moves come up quickly: landlord changes, sale chains, or sudden changes in circumstances. Where our schedule allows, we provide same-day or short-notice removals in Tottenham, still following a structured but accelerated version of our usual process.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Tottenham cost?
The cost of a house removal in Tottenham varies depending on the size of your property, the volume of items, distance between addresses, and any additional services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller flat moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full house moves are usually priced as a fixed quote after a survey. This ensures the price reflects the actual work involved. Contact us with basic details about your move and we’ll provide an honest estimate, then refine it after a more detailed assessment if needed.
Can you do same-day or urgent removals?
We can often help with same-day or urgent removals in Tottenham, particularly for smaller moves or part-loads. Availability depends on our existing bookings and the size and complexity of your move. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as early as possible with your addresses, rough inventory and desired time. We’ll confirm what’s realistic, discuss any limitations, and prioritise essential items if a full move in one go isn’t practical. We always aim to provide a safe, properly staffed service, even at short notice.
What insurance cover do you provide?
Your belongings are covered by goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle and care, and we also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to property. This is in addition to the care taken by our trained team in wrapping, lifting and securing items. Insurance has reasonable limits and conditions, so we always recommend you tell us about especially valuable or unusual items in advance. We can then confirm cover, advise on extra protection if required, and ensure appropriate handling on the day.
What is included in your removals service?
Our standard removals service includes the vehicle, a suitable number of professional movers, protective blankets and equipment, loading at your old property, safe transport, and unloading and placement at your new address. We can also provide packing materials, full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and help with positioning heavy items. Parking arrangements, congestion or toll charges are discussed with you beforehand. We don’t leave you with everything piled in the hallway: our team works with you to place key furniture and boxes in the correct rooms.
How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service typically provides a driver and vehicle, with limited help and no guarantee of training or insurance. Our professional removals service includes a planned process, trained staff, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover, and the correct equipment for safe lifting and protection. We carry out surveys for larger moves, advise on packing and access, and provide written confirmation of arrangements. In practice, this means fewer breakages, less physical strain for you, and a smoother, more predictable moving day.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
Ideally, you should book your Tottenham house removal 2–4 weeks in advance, especially if you’re moving on a weekend or at the end of the month, when demand is highest. This gives us time to carry out a survey, arrange packing if required, and help you plan parking and access. However, we understand that completion dates can change, so we try to remain flexible. If your move is sooner, still get in touch; we’ll advise on current availability and do our best to fit you in safely and sensibly.

- Items that exceed safe lifting limits or will not reasonably fit through standard doors or stairwells
If you are unsure about a particular item, please ask us in advance; we can often suggest safe alternatives.
Our Step-by-Step Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the basic details: addresses, property types, access information and what needs moving. We discuss your requirements and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on time, distance and the level of help you need (for example, one or two movers).
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything more than a simple single-item move, we recommend a quick survey. This can often be done virtually via photos or video call. For larger jobs in or near Tottenham, we can arrange an onsite visit to assess access, parking and any special handling needs.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can supply professional packing materials in advance. On moving day we protect key items with transit blankets and can dismantle basic furniture, such as bed frames, if agreed beforehand. Our aim is to ensure everything is ready for safe loading.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained movers handle all the lifting and loading, using trolleys and straps where needed. Items are carefully arranged in the van to minimise movement during transit. We then transport your belongings directly to the new address, using efficient routes and our local knowledge of Tottenham traffic and parking.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination we unload everything into the rooms you specify. We place furniture where you want it and reassemble any items we dismantled, time permitting. Before we leave, we check you are happy that all agreed items have arrived safely and are in the right place.
Transparent Pricing – How Our Man with Van Costs Work
We believe in simple, transparent pricing. Most man with van jobs are priced either by the hour or as a fixed-price move, depending on your preference and the nature of the job.
- Hourly rates – Suitable for smaller, flexible moves where the scope may change slightly on the day.
- Fixed prices – Ideal when the inventory is clear and access is straightforward; you know the total cost in advance.
Prices are influenced by distance, number of movers required, the size of the vehicle, access conditions and any extra services like packing or furniture dismantling. There are no hidden charges; any potential additional costs, such as congestion or parking charges, are explained upfront.
Why Choose Professional Man with Van Over DIY
Hiring a professional man with van service in Tottenham offers several advantages over borrowing a van or booking a casual advert from the internet:
- Safety – Proper lifting techniques and equipment reduce the risk of injury and damage.
- Reliability – Confirmed bookings, clear communication and arrival windows you can plan around.
- Insurance – Your belongings are covered by goods in transit insurance, which you don’t get with most DIY solutions.
- Experience – We move people in and around Tottenham every day; we know what can go wrong and how to avoid it.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance for your items while they are in our vehicle
- Public liability cover for any accidental damage to property during the move
- Trained moving teams who understand safe handling, stacking and protection of goods
We operate clean, well-maintained vehicles and keep accurate records for every job. This professional approach provides reassurance that your move is being handled properly from start to finish.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care in how we move, and also how we impact the environment:
- Use of reusable blankets, straps and crates where possible
- Encouraging re-use of packing materials for future moves
- Consolidating trips and planning efficient routes to reduce fuel use
- Careful handling to avoid breakages and unnecessary waste
Inside your property, we work carefully around walls, floors and doorways, using protection as needed to reduce the risk of scuffs or damage.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House in Tottenham
For smaller house or flat moves, our man with van service offers a cost-effective way to move locally. We can complete many moves in a single trip, including furniture and boxes, and coordinate with keys collection and check-in times.
Office and Business Relocations
Local businesses use us to move between offices, reorganise internal layouts or shift stock. We can schedule moves outside your trading hours and handle IT equipment and office furniture with care, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Sometimes plans change at short notice. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day man with van services in Tottenham. Whether a tenancy start date has changed or a delivery has fallen through, we’ll do our best to help you out quickly and efficiently.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with van service in Tottenham cost?
Costs depend on distance, how much you’re moving, access at each property and whether you need one or more movers. For smaller jobs, we usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. Larger moves are often quoted as a fixed price once we understand your requirements. Our quotes are transparent and include any expected additional charges, such as congestion or parking fees. Contact us with a rough inventory and addresses, and we’ll provide a clear, tailored price before you commit.
Can you do same-day or urgent man with van moves?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Tottenham, especially for local jobs or single items. Availability depends on our schedule and vehicle capacity on the day, so the earlier you contact us, the better. If we can help, we’ll confirm a time window and the likely duration, then send a brief booking confirmation. Even for urgent jobs, we still follow our usual standards for protection, loading and handling to keep your belongings safe.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Our man with van service includes goods in transit insurance for items while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover for property damage that might accidentally occur during the move. This provides a level of protection that casual, unregulated services usually cannot offer. As with any insurance, there are limits and exclusions, so if you have particularly high-value items, tell us in advance so we can advise on the best way to protect them and confirm what is covered.
What exactly is included in your man with van service?
You get a vehicle of suitable size, a professional driver-mover and, if requested, an additional mover. We handle lifting, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We provide blankets, straps and basic protection, and can dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture by prior arrangement. The quote will set out the number of movers, the estimated time or fixed price, and any extra services such as provision of boxes or packing. Fuel, normal mileage and insurance are all included unless stated otherwise.
How is your man with van different from a basic removals service?
A man with van service is typically more flexible and suited to smaller moves, single items or short-distance jobs. Our full removals service involves larger teams, bigger vehicles and often full packing, detailed inventories and more complex planning. Both are fully insured and professional, but the man with van option is often chosen for speed, convenience and cost-effectiveness where a full-scale removals crew would be more than you need. We’re happy to advise which option best fits your situation.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend or month-end moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, as these periods are particularly busy in Tottenham. For midweek or smaller jobs, a few days’ notice is often enough, though more notice gives you a wider choice of time slots. If your dates are not yet fixed, we can provide a provisional quote and firm up the booking once you have confirmation. We’ll always try to help with last-minute moves where our schedule allows.
Student Removals
Student Removals Tottenham – Man and Van Tottenham
Moving as a student can be stressful – especially if you’re juggling exams, work, and tight rental dates. At Man and Van Tottenham, we provide a dedicated student removals service in Tottenham and surrounding areas, designed to be affordable, flexible, and efficient, without cutting corners on care or professionalism.
Specialist Student Removals in Tottenham
Our student moving service is built around the realities of student life: small to medium loads, shared houses, halls of residence, limited budgets and often awkward access or time windows. We handle everything from a single room in halls to a full shared flat, whether you’re:
- Moving into or out of university accommodation
- Switching between shared houses in Tottenham
- Returning home during the holidays
- Bringing belongings back for a new academic year
Every move is carried out by a trained, professional team using suitable vehicles, with your belongings covered by our goods in transit insurance.
Who Our Student Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you have a son or daughter at university in Tottenham, we can move their belongings between home and their term-time address, coordinating with you to minimise disruption. We can also combine student loads with a wider family move to keep costs sensible.
Renters
Private renters in Tottenham often move between studios, flat shares and HMOs. We provide cost-effective small-load moves, including evening or weekend slots, so you can move without needing a large removal lorry or taking extra days off work.
Landlords
For landlords managing student properties, we offer reliable removals and clear-outs between tenancies. This includes moving furniture in and out, removing abandoned items (within legal guidelines) and rearranging rooms ready for the next intake.
Businesses
Local businesses and accommodation providers working with students – such as language schools or training centres – use us to move students between temporary accommodation, or transport personal effects and educational equipment between sites.
Students
Our core service is for individual students and groups sharing a house or flat. Whether you’re moving one room or an entire shared property, we offer transparent pricing, friendly crews and the option to book small or large vans depending on how much you have.
What’s Included in Our Student Removals
Typical Items We Move
We can safely transport most items you’d expect in student accommodation, including:
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and drawers
- Desks, chairs and shelving units
- Suitcases, bags and boxes of clothes
- Books, folders, course materials and stationery
- Computers, monitors, printers and small office equipment
- TVs, gaming consoles and audio equipment
- Kitchenware, small appliances and food-safe items
- Bicycles, sports equipment and musical instruments
Items We Cannot or Do Not Move
For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need special arrangements:
- Hazardous materials (flammables, gas canisters, chemicals)
- Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
- Unboxed loose liquids or open food
- Very high-value items without prior declaration
- Pets or live animals
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, ask when you request your quote. We’ll advise on what’s allowed and how best to pack it.
Our Step-by-Step Student Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Man and Van Tottenham by phone, email or our online form. Tell us where you’re moving from and to, your dates, access details and a rough list of items. We’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quote with no hidden charges, tailored to your load size and timing.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most student moves, a quick virtual survey (photos, video call or item list) is enough. For larger shared houses or furnished moves, we may arrange a short onsite visit in Tottenham to confirm volume, access, and parking. This prevents surprises on the day and ensures we send the right van and crew.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or we can quote for a packing service if needed. We recommend:
- Using sturdy boxes for books and heavy items
- Wrapping fragile items with paper or bubble wrap
- Labelling boxes by room and contents
On request, we can supply boxes and packing materials in advance, or help with dismantling furniture such as bed frames and desks.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects key items and carefully loads the van. We use blankets, straps and appropriate handling techniques to keep everything secure in transit. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while being moved between addresses.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload items into the rooms you specify, not just the doorway. We’ll reassemble any furniture we took apart as part of the agreed service and place larger items where you want them, so you can start settling in straight away.
Transparent Pricing for Student Removals
We understand students and families often work to tight budgets. Our pricing is straightforward and tailored to the size and complexity of your move:
- Small moves priced by the hour with a minimum charge (ideal for room-only moves)
- Fixed-price quotes for larger flat or shared house moves
- Optional add-ons, such as packing, materials, and furniture assembly
We always explain what is included: vehicle size, number of movers, estimated time and any travel or congestion charges. There are no surprise extras on the day.
Why Use Professional Removals Instead of DIY?
Hiring a casual van or attempting a DIY move may appear cheaper, but it often leads to damage, delays, and extra stress. With Man and Van Tottenham you benefit from:
- Professional handling of heavy and awkward items
- Proper protection and loading techniques to minimise damage
- Reliable timings – we turn up when we say we will
- Full insurance cover for your goods during the move
- Reduced risk of injury from lifting or carrying up and down stairs
For many students, sharing the cost between housemates makes a professional service both practical and cost-effective.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Man and Van Tottenham operates to clear professional standards to protect you and your belongings:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff used to student accommodation, narrow staircases and restricted access
We follow best practices for lifting, loading and securing items, and we’re happy to walk you through how we’ll handle any particularly important or fragile possessions.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Every move is carried out with care. We use removal blankets, straps and, where needed, mattress and sofa protectors to minimise the risk of damage. Floors and doorways are protected as required, especially in shared blocks or managed accommodation where common areas must be kept clean and tidy.
We’re also mindful of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we:
- Reuse durable packing materials
- Encourage box sharing between housemates
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce fuel use
- Separate reusable items for donation if you’re decluttering before a move
Real-World Use Cases for Student Removals in Tottenham
Moving Between Halls and Private Rentals
Many students start in halls, then move to shared houses in their second or third year. We regularly move small to medium loads between student blocks and rented properties, often coordinating multiple students’ belongings into one shared move to save costs.
Heading Home for Summer Break
Instead of paying to store items you barely use, we can move your belongings back home at the end of term and return them when the new term begins. This works especially well for out-of-London students studying in Tottenham.
Urgent and Last-Minute Moves
Accommodation plans can change suddenly – a tenancy not renewed, a flat share breaking up, or a landlord selling up. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or short-notice student removals in Tottenham, helping you vacate on time and avoid penalty fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do student removals in Tottenham cost?
Prices depend on how much you have, the distance between addresses, and any extra services such as packing or furniture assembly. Small student moves are often charged by the hour with a sensible minimum, while larger shared house moves can be quoted at a fixed price. To keep costs down, we recommend being clear about your inventory and access details so we can match the right van and crew. Sharing the cost between housemates usually makes a professional move very affordable.
Can you do same-day or urgent student moves?
Yes, subject to availability we can provide same-day or next-day student removals in Tottenham. This is particularly useful if you need to vacate quickly at the end of a tenancy or a change of plans leaves you with little notice. Call us as early as you can with your addresses, rough inventory, and preferred time. We’ll check our schedule, advise what’s realistic, and give you a clear quote before confirming the booking.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for added protection. This is designed to give students and parents peace of mind that belongings are protected against major unforeseen issues. We still ask you to pack carefully, especially fragile items, and to tell us in advance about any particularly high-value items so we can advise on any specific requirements.
What’s included in your student removals service?
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We bring blankets and securing equipment as standard. Optional extras include packing materials, a full or partial packing service, and furniture dismantling and reassembly. We’ll explain exactly what’s included in your quote, so you know whether you’re responsible for packing boxes and disconnecting appliances before we arrive.
How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van often offers simple transport only, with limited protection, variable reliability and no formal insurance. Our service is a professional removal: experienced crews, appropriate vehicles, proper protection, and fully insured cover as standard. We survey your move, plan access, and provide clear terms and pricing. For students with important coursework, electronics and sentimental items, this level of care and reliability usually represents much better value than the cheapest option.
How far in advance should I book my student move?
For peak periods – especially end of term and late summer – we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance, and earlier if possible. This gives you a better choice of dates and times and allows us to plan efficient routes. Outside of busy periods, a few days’ notice is often enough, and we can sometimes accommodate next-day or same-day moves. If your dates are uncertain, we can discuss provisional bookings and how to confirm once your tenancy details are finalised.
Same day Removals
Same day Removals in Tottenham by Man and Van Tottenham

Man and Van Tottenham provides reliable, fully managed same day removals across Tottenham and the surrounding North London areas, delivered by an experienced, professional and fully insured team.
What Our Same day Removals Service Includes
Our same day removals are designed to be fast, organised and stress-free. We adapt the service to the size of your move and your timescales, while still protecting your belongings properly.

Every job is carried out by trained movers with the right equipment, including trolleys, blankets, straps and tools for basic furniture dismantling and reassembly where needed.
Local Same day Removals Expertise in Tottenham
Working daily in and around Tottenham means we understand the realities of moving here – from tight stairwells and parking restrictions to busy main roads like Tottenham High Road and local estates and side streets.
- Local knowledge of parking rules and permit zones
- Experience with high-rise flats and no-lift buildings
- Familiarity with estate layouts and access points
- Efficient route planning across North London for urgent moves
This local experience allows us to react quickly on same day jobs, choosing the right size vehicle and team, and planning the move around real-world traffic and access issues.
Who Our Same day Removals Are For
Homeowners
If your completion date changes unexpectedly or a chain issue forces a last-minute move, our same day service helps you vacate on time, protecting your belongings and keeping disruption to a minimum.
Renters
Whether you’ve been given short notice by your landlord or need to move out quickly to avoid extra rent, we can pack, load and move your belongings the same day, helping you meet key handover deadlines.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We assist landlords and agents with same day clearances and removals, including removing abandoned furniture, clearing properties for new tenants and relocating items to storage or other properties.
Businesses
From small offices to independent retailers, we handle same day business relocations, urgent equipment moves and time-sensitive deliveries, planning the move around your trading hours to minimise downtime.
Students
Students often face tight deadlines with halls move-out dates or last-minute accommodation changes. Our affordable same day service suits single rooms or shared flats with flexible timings and smaller loads.
What We Can and Cannot Move on the Same Day
Items typically included
- Household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs
- Kitchen appliances – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers (disconnected)
- Boxes, suitcases and bags
- Office furniture – desks, filing cabinets, chairs, shelving
- IT and electrical equipment – computers, printers, monitors, TVs
- Garage and garden items – tools, bikes, garden furniture (clean and empty)
Items excluded or restricted
- Hazardous materials – paint tins, fuel, gas bottles, chemicals
- Illegal items or goods of unknown origin
- Live animals or pets
- Unboxed loose glass, unprotected artwork or very high-value items without prior agreement
- Heavy machinery or items exceeding safe manual handling limits without proper equipment
If you are unsure whether something can be moved on the same day, we can usually confirm over the phone or via photos during the enquiry stage.
Our Step-by-Step Same day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & quote
Contact us as early in the day as possible. We will ask key questions about your current property, destination, number of rooms and any large or awkward items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and confirm whether same day is achievable.
2. Survey (virtual or onsite)
For most same day moves, we carry out a quick virtual survey via photos or video call. For larger or more complex jobs, and where time allows, we may attend briefly onsite. The survey helps us allocate the right van size, number of movers and time window.
3. Packing & preparation
You can pre-pack your belongings, or we can provide a same day packing service for part or all of the property, subject to time. We protect furniture with blankets, shrink-wrap where suitable, and dismantle larger items as required for safe transport.
4. Loading & transport
Our trained team loads systematically, securing everything with straps and padding to prevent movement in transit. We use practical, safe lifting techniques and take particular care with fragile or sentimental items. Once loaded, we transport your goods directly to the new address or storage facility.
5. Unloading & placement
On arrival, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing large furniture where you want it. Where agreed, we reassemble dismantled items such as bed frames and basic wardrobes, so you can settle in more quickly the same day.
Transparent Same day Removals Pricing
Same day work needs clear, honest pricing. We base our quotes on:
- Volume of goods (number of rooms / size of load)
- Access at both addresses (stairs, lifts, parking distance)
- Travel distance between properties
- Number of movers required
- Any packing, dismantling or reassembly needed
- Urgency and time of day
We typically offer either a fixed price for the whole job or a clear hourly rate with a minimum booking period. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges (such as congestion charges or parking costs) are explained in advance wherever possible.
Why Choose Professional Removals Instead of DIY
When time is tight, DIY or casual help can quickly become stressful and risky. A professional, trained removals team brings:
- Proper lifting techniques to reduce the risk of injury
- Appropriate equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Experience loading vans safely to avoid damage in transit
- Reliable timekeeping and clear communication
- Insurance cover that you will not get from informal helpers
The cost difference is often smaller than people expect, and the reduction in risk, damage and delays is significant – particularly for same day or deadline-driven moves.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously and work to clear, professional standards.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your possessions while they are in our vehicle, subject to terms and conditions.
- Public liability cover – protection against accidental damage to property during the move.
- Trained moving teams – staff are briefed on safe handling, packing and customer care.
Full details of cover, exclusions and any limits can be provided with your quote. We always encourage customers to have their own contents insurance in place as an additional safeguard.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even when time is tight, we do not compromise on care:
- Use of protective blankets and wraps for furniture
- Floor and banister protection where needed
- Careful securing of loads to prevent movement
We also aim to work responsibly:
- Reusing and recycling packing materials where appropriate
- Planning routes to minimise unnecessary mileage
- Working with local reuse and recycling schemes for unwanted items
Real-World Same day Removals Use Cases
Moving house at short notice
Completion dates shift, landlords change plans and sometimes you simply have to be out quickly. We regularly help Tottenham residents move from flats or houses to new homes or storage on the same day, coordinating closely with agents and new keyholders.
Urgent office relocations
Small businesses often cannot afford downtime. We plan same day office moves outside trading hours where possible, moving essential equipment first so you can get back up and running quickly.
Last-minute student moves
Students frequently call us the day before – or even the morning of – their tenancy ending. We can clear a room or shared flat quickly, moving everything to a new address, storage unit or back home.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Tottenham cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your move, access, distance and how many movers you need. Smaller same day jobs may be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking, while larger moves are often quoted at a fixed price once we understand the volume and details. Urgent or out-of-hours moves can cost slightly more due to scheduling pressures, but we always give a clear price before you book. Contact us with a brief description or photos for a tailored estimate.
Can you always offer same day or urgent removals?
Availability depends on our diary, but we keep some flexibility for urgent work, especially in Tottenham and nearby areas. The earlier in the day you contact us, the more likely we can help. For very large properties, we may suggest a partial same day move and completion the following day if needed. We will always be honest about what is achievable within the time available so you can make an informed decision and avoid unrealistic promises.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your property. As with any policy, there are limits and exclusions, such as certain high-value items or items not properly packed. We outline the key details with your quote and can answer specific questions in advance. We also recommend maintaining your own home or contents insurance as an additional layer of protection.
What exactly is included in a same day removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We provide protective blankets and securing straps as standard. Subject to time and prior agreement, we can also offer packing assistance, dismantling and reassembling basic furniture and moving items into storage instead of another property. Packing materials and any specialist services may be quoted separately so that you only pay for what you genuinely need on the day.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van can be useful for very small, low-risk jobs, but often lacks the professional standards, insurance and equipment needed for a full move. We provide trained teams, documented insurance, proper packing and securing of loads, and clear communication from booking to completion. For larger properties, expensive items or tight deadlines, using a structured removals service significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute cancellations that can happen with informal providers.
How far in advance do I need to book a same day removal?
For same day moves, contact us as soon as you know you need to move – ideally first thing in the morning. This gives us the best chance to allocate a vehicle and team that match your requirements. For next-day or planned urgent moves, 24–48 hours’ notice is ideal, but we understand that is not always possible. Even if your situation is very last-minute, call us – we will quickly confirm what we can realistically do that day.
Man and a Van
Man and a Van in Tottenham
At Man and Van Tottenham, our man and a van service is designed for people who want a reliable, professional move without the cost and complexity of a large removals crew. You get an experienced local driver–porter with a well-maintained van, the right equipment, and the care you would expect from a long‑established removals professional.
What Our Man and a Van Service Includes
This service is ideal for small to medium moves in and around Tottenham and across London. You get:
- A dedicated van and experienced mover for the agreed time
- Help with lifting, carrying, loading and unloading
- Protective blankets, straps and trolley as standard
- Careful loading to minimise movement in transit
- Direct transport from A to B, with sensible routing through North London
Where needed, we can provide an additional porter so your move is handled by a two‑person team, particularly for heavier or bulky items.
Local Man and a Van Specialists in Tottenham
Working daily in N15, N17 and the wider Haringey area means we understand Tottenham’s streets, estates and parking restrictions extremely well. From Victorian terraces off Philip Lane to modern flats around Tottenham Hale and High Road retail units, we know the access challenges and how to plan around them.
We regularly handle moves to and from:
- Tottenham Hale, Seven Sisters and Bruce Grove
- West Green, South Tottenham and Stamford Hill borders
- Edmonton, Wood Green, Walthamstow and the wider North London area
This local knowledge helps us choose the right van size, plan loading points and avoid unnecessary delays on move day.
Who Our Man and a Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect for smaller house moves, partial moves or taking a few larger items to storage while you renovate. We regularly help homeowners with single‑room clearances, furniture swaps and moving bulky appliances.
Renters
Ideal for flat and house shares, end‑of‑tenancy moves and first homes. If you mainly have boxed belongings, a few wardrobes, a bed and a sofa, a man and a van is usually the most practical and cost‑effective option.
Landlords
We assist landlords with quick furniture swaps, partial refurnishing and removing unwanted items between tenancies. Short‑notice bookings are often possible, especially within Tottenham and nearby postcodes.
Businesses
From moving stock and small office equipment to internal relocations between premises, our professional man and a van teams work efficiently and discreetly. We’re used to tight timings and access rules in commercial buildings.
Students
Students at universities and colleges across London use us for start‑ and end‑of‑term moves. A single van and porter is usually more than enough for typical student belongings, and we can often combine trips to keep costs reasonable.
What We Can Move
Our vans are fully equipped to move most household and small business items safely, including:
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and drawers
- Sofas, armchairs, tables and chairs
- White goods such as washing machines, fridges and freezers
- Boxes, bags, suitcases and personal effects
- IT equipment, printers and small office furniture
- Sports equipment, bikes and hobby items
Items We Cannot Move
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, our fully insured man and van service does not carry:
- Hazardous materials (gas bottles, fuel, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or anything that breaches transport regulations
- Large industrial machinery or oversized construction equipment
- Unboxed loose liquids or open food containers
- Animals or live plants in bulk (individual houseplants are usually fine)
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during the enquiry or survey so there are no surprises on the day.
Our Step‑by‑Step Man and a Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your move: addresses, access information, dates and an outline of what needs moving. We’ll ask a few focused questions so we understand the volume, any heavy items and timings. Based on this, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote, usually the same day.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most man and a van jobs, a quick virtual survey via video call or photos is enough. For larger or more complex moves, we may visit in person in Tottenham or nearby. The survey lets us confirm van size, manpower, parking needs and any access issues, ensuring the quote is accurate.
3. Packing & Preparation
Most customers pack their own belongings for a man and a van service. We can, however, supply packing materials in advance. If requested, we also offer a packing service at additional cost. We will advise how to pack fragile items and label boxes clearly so unloading and placement at the new address is straightforward.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, we arrive on time, review the plan with you, and protect key items with blankets and wraps. We load systematically, securing everything with straps to prevent movement. Then we transport your goods directly to the new address, choosing the most reliable route based on local traffic conditions in and around Tottenham.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload items into the rooms you indicate, taking care to avoid marks or damage to floors and walls. We can reposition furniture within reason so you are not left struggling with heavy items after we leave. Before we depart, we check you are happy that everything is in the right place.
Transparent Pricing for Man and a Van in Tottenham
We price our man and a van service clearly and fairly, usually on an hourly basis with a minimum booking period. The rate depends on:
- Number of movers (one man or two‑person team)
- Van size required
- Day of the week and time (peak vs off‑peak)
- Travel distance and expected duration
Your quote will state exactly what is included, any minimum charges and how additional time is billed, so you can plan your budget with confidence. There are no hidden extras for standard jobs; any parking or congestion charges are discussed in advance.
Why Use a Professional Man and a Van Instead of DIY?
Hiring a friend’s van or doing multiple trips yourself often seems cheaper, but in practice it can cost more in time, stress and potential damage. With a professional man and a van service you benefit from:
- Trained movers who know how to lift, protect and stack safely
- Appropriate equipment to move heavy or awkward items without injury
- Fully insured transport, protecting your belongings in transit
- Fewer journeys thanks to correct van sizing and efficient loading
- A committed schedule – we arrive when we say we will
For many people, the reduced risk of damage to property, vehicles and furniture easily justifies using a professional team.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a dedicated removals operator, we take protection seriously:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your belongings while they are in our vehicle
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property during the move
- Trained moving teams who follow safe handling and loading practices
We will outline the key terms of our cover before you book, and we’re happy to provide confirmation of insurance on request. Our aim is to give you peace of mind from the first call to the final item unloaded.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Every move, however small, is treated with care. We use padded blankets, mattress protectors and straps as standard, and we take the time to protect doorways, bannisters and floors where appropriate. Our vans are regularly maintained and kept clean inside to avoid dirt or odours transferring to your belongings.
We also take a practical approach to sustainability. We encourage re‑use of boxes, offer sturdy reusable crates on some moves, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions. Where possible, we consolidate local jobs around Tottenham to reduce empty running.
Real‑World Uses of Our Man and a Van Service
Moving House or Flat
Many one‑ and two‑bedroom properties can be moved efficiently with a man and a van. We often handle moves between flats in Tottenham, Walthamstow, Wood Green and central London, coordinating keys and lifts to keep everything running smoothly.
Office and Shop Relocations
Smaller offices, studios and retail units benefit from our flexible man and a van option. We can move desks, chairs, stock and IT equipment outside your trading hours, minimising downtime and disruption to staff and customers.
Urgent and Same‑Day Moves
Sometimes things change quickly – last‑minute tenancy issues, urgent storage runs or items bought that are too big for a car. Where our schedule allows, we offer same‑day or next‑day man and a van support in Tottenham and neighbouring areas. Just call and we will advise on availability straight away.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and a van service in Tottenham cost?
Pricing depends mainly on how long the move takes, how many movers you need and the size of van required. Most local jobs are charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, which we explain clearly in your quote. To keep costs down, have everything packed and ready to go, and let us know about any parking or access issues in advance. Once we understand your requirements, we will give you a straightforward estimate with no hidden extras.
Can you provide same‑day or urgent man and a van bookings?
Yes, subject to availability. Because we work locally in Tottenham and North London, we can often respond quickly to urgent requests, especially on weekdays. Same‑day moves are best arranged by phone so we can check which vans and movers are nearby and how much time we can allocate. Even for urgent work, we still follow our standard safety and loading procedures, and we’ll be honest if the time window you’re asking for is unrealistic.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Our man and a van service includes goods in transit insurance for your items while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover for accidental damage to third‑party property. There are reasonable limits and exclusions, which we explain before you confirm your booking. For particularly high‑value or unusual items, we may recommend additional cover or a tailored removals service, and we’ll advise you on the best approach based on our professional experience.
What’s included in a typical man and a van service?
You get a dedicated van with an experienced mover for the agreed time, including loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We provide blankets, straps and a trolley as standard, and we place items into the rooms you specify. Packing is usually not included, as most customers prefer to pack themselves, but we can supply materials or add a packing service if requested. Parking fees or congestion charges are discussed in advance so you know exactly what to expect.
What’s the difference between your service and a casual man‑and‑van?
Many casual operators offer low prices but may not provide proper insurance, training or reliability. Our service is run by an established removals company with trained staff, fully insured vehicles and clear standards. We use professional equipment, plan access and routes, and give written confirmations of bookings and pricing. In practice, this means fewer delays, less risk of damage and a smoother move overall, particularly in busy areas like Tottenham where access and parking can be challenging.
How far in advance should I book?
For preferred dates and times, especially weekends and month‑end, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance. However, we understand that not every move can be planned that early, so we always try to accommodate shorter‑notice requests where our schedule allows. Once you know your likely date and have a rough idea of what needs moving, get in touch. The earlier we speak, the easier it is to suggest the most efficient and cost‑effective option for your move.
Flat Removals
Flat Removals in Tottenham by Man and Van Tottenham
Moving in or out of a flat in Tottenham comes with its own challenges: tight stairwells, lift restrictions, parking controls and careful coordination with neighbours and building managers. At Man and Van Tottenham, we provide a dedicated flat removals service designed specifically for local apartments, maisonettes and studio moves in and around Tottenham.
With years of hands-on experience, a trained and professional team, and full insurance cover, we handle every stage of your move so you don’t have to worry about the details.
What Our Flat Removals Service Includes
Our Tottenham flat removals service is a complete, door-to-door solution for moves of all sizes – from small studio clearances to multi-bedroom apartment relocations.
Core Service Elements
- Careful dismantling and reassembly of standard furniture
- Protective wrapping of delicate and high-value items
- Loading, secure transport and unloading
- Placement of items in the right rooms at your new flat
- Optional packing and unpacking service
- Responsible disposal of agreed unwanted items
Every move is planned around your building’s access, lift availability and parking situation to avoid delays and disruption.
Local Tottenham Expertise
Based in Tottenham, we know the local area, traffic patterns and building layouts extremely well. That local knowledge means:
- Efficient route planning through Tottenham and surrounding districts
- Understanding of CPZs, loading restrictions and local council rules
- Experience with high-rise and low-rise blocks, conversions and new builds
- Realistic time estimates for your moving day
This on-the-ground experience helps us avoid common problems that slow down flat moves, such as limited loading bays, tight staircases and lift time windows.
Who Our Flat Removals Service Is For
Homeowners and Long-Term Residents
If you own or have lived in your Tottenham flat for a long time, you may have accumulated furniture, appliances and belongings that need careful handling. We provide a structured move with clear labelling and room-by-room planning to keep everything organised.
Renters Moving Between Flats
Renters often face strict check-out times and inventory checks. We work to your schedule, protect walls and communal areas, and help ensure you leave the property in good condition to support a smooth handover.
Landlords and Letting Agents
We assist landlords and agents with tenant changeover clearances, partial removals, and preparing flats for new occupants. This can include removal of old furniture, transport of new items, and basic repositioning ready for staging or re-letting.
Businesses and Remote Workers
If you run a business from your flat or are moving home office equipment, we carefully handle desks, chairs, monitors, computers and files. We can move you between flats, to a commercial office, or back to home working setups.
Students and First-Time Movers
Students and first-time renters in Tottenham often have smaller loads but still need reliable, punctual help. Our small flat removals service is ideal for moving between halls, shared flats and studio apartments, with cost-conscious options to suit your budget.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines (where access allows)
- Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment
- Personal belongings – clothes, books, ornaments, kitchenware
- Home office equipment – desks, chairs, printers and filing systems
- Boxed items, storage crates and suitcases
Items Usually Excluded
- Illegal, hazardous or flammable materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals)
- Large commercial machinery or industrial equipment
- Unboxed loose items of very high value (e.g. jewellery, important documents – we advise you to carry these yourself)
- Pets and live animals
- Items exceeding access limitations (e.g. over-sized furniture that cannot safely pass through stairwells or doorways)
If you are unsure about a particular item, mention it when enquiring and we will confirm what is possible and any special arrangements needed.
Our Step-by-Step Flat Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us with basic details: flat size, locations, dates and key items. We ask clear questions about access, parking and any time restrictions. Based on this, we provide a transparent, no-obligation quotation outlining what is included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most flat moves we carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess staircases, lifts, corridors, parking and the volume of goods. The survey helps us allocate the right size vehicle, number of movers and time, so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer optional packing services using quality materials for fragile items, kitchenware and ornaments. Alternatively, we can supply boxes and packing materials for you to pack yourself. On moving day, we protect furniture and key items with covers, blankets and wrapping for safe transport.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your belongings methodically, using correct lifting techniques to protect both your goods and the building. Items are secured in the vehicle to prevent movement during transit. We then transport everything directly to your new flat using efficient local routes.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it and reassembling previously dismantled pieces. We work carefully around neighbours and communal areas, leaving shared spaces clean and clear.
Transparent Flat Removals Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing for flat removals in Tottenham. Quotes are based on:
- Volume of items and size of flat
- Distance between properties
- Access complexity (stairs, lift use, long carries, parking restrictions)
- Number of movers required
- Optional services such as packing, unpacking and furniture assembly
We explain exactly what is included so you can compare like-for-like. There are no hidden charges for normal circumstances; any potential extras (such as key delay waiting times or last-minute additions) are discussed clearly in advance.
Why Choose Professional Flat Removals Over DIY
Flat moves are often underestimated. DIY or casual man-and-van options may appear cheaper, but can lead to:
- Damage to furniture, walls, doors and communal areas
- Injury from incorrect lifting or carrying on stairs
- Access issues if the wrong vehicle or equipment turns up
- Delays that impact landlords, neighbours and check-in times
With Man and Van Tottenham, you benefit from a professional approach: planned logistics, experienced movers, appropriate vehicles and equipment, and proper protection for your belongings and the building.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings and your building are protected throughout the move. We hold:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being transported
- Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to property or third parties
- A fully insured fleet and operation
Our team members are trained in safe lifting, stacking, furniture handling and the specific challenges of stair and corridor work in flats. We follow professional standards in punctuality, communication and respect for residents and neighbours.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every flat move as if we were moving our own home. That means:
- Using clean blankets, covers and wraps to protect furniture and soft furnishings
- Protecting doors, banisters and key pinch-points where necessary
- Securing loads properly to reduce risk of damage in transit
- Minimising waste and reusing materials where safe and practical
- Grouping jobs where appropriate to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions
We can also remove and responsibly dispose of agreed unwanted items, helping you avoid multiple trips to recycling centres.
Real-World Flat Removals Use Cases
Moving Between Flats in Tottenham
Many of our customers move from one Tottenham flat to another, often within the same area. We coordinate timings carefully to work around check-out and key collection, reducing the stress of same-day moves.
Office-to-Flat and Flat-to-Office Moves
With more people working flexibly, we frequently move office setups into or out of flats. Desks, chairs and IT equipment are handled with the same care as residential items, making hybrid working transitions smoother.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves happen unexpectedly – relationship changes, urgent relocations or last-minute tenancy changes. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice flat removals in Tottenham, focusing on safe, efficient execution even under time pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does flat removal in Tottenham cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your flat, volume of items, access and distance between properties. A small studio with straightforward access will be cheaper than a multi-bedroom flat on an upper floor with no lift. We typically price based on time, number of movers and vehicle size, with clear estimates given after an enquiry and, where needed, a survey. There are no hidden charges for normal moves; any potential extras, such as extended waiting times, are always discussed upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you offer same-day or urgent flat removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or urgent flat removals in Tottenham. Availability depends on how busy we are, the size of your move and the time of your call. For smaller flats or partial moves, we can often react quickly, especially within the local area. If you need an urgent move, let us know your timescales, access details and key items. We will give you an honest answer on what is achievable and any adjustments needed to complete the move safely.
What insurance cover do you provide for flat moves?
Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to property or third parties during the move. This is in addition to a fully insured operation and properly maintained vehicles. We recommend you tell us about any particularly high-value or unusual items in advance so we can confirm cover and discuss any special packing or handling requirements to ensure they are moved with appropriate care.
What is included in your flat removals service?
Our standard flat removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your boxed belongings and furniture between addresses, plus basic furniture dismantling and reassembly where agreed. We protect key items with blankets and covers, and place furniture and boxes in the rooms you specify at your new flat. Optional extras include full or partial packing, unpacking, supply of packing materials and removal of certain unwanted items. Everything included will be clearly listed in your quotation, so you know exactly what we will be doing on the day.
How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service usually focuses on transport only, often with limited preparation, planning or insurance. Our professional flat removals service is built around trained staff, proper equipment, full insurance, detailed planning and reliable timekeeping. We assess access, allocate the right team and vehicle, protect your belongings and the building, and manage the move from start to finish. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and stress, especially in blocks of flats where stairways, lifts and parking need careful handling.
How far in advance should I book my flat removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at month-end and weekends, we recommend booking your Tottenham flat removal at least two to three weeks in advance. However, we understand that move dates can change, so we do our best to accommodate shorter notice where possible. If your tenancy end date is fixed, contact us as soon as you know it so we can reserve a slot. Even if your date is uncertain, an initial enquiry helps us plan and offer guidance on timings and preparation.

- Unboxed loose valuables (cash, jewellery, important documents)

Our Step-by-Step Man and Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or online form with the basic details of your move: addresses, property type, key items and preferred date. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us, explaining exactly what is included so there are no surprises on the day.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a brief survey. This may be a virtual survey via video call or photos, or an onsite visit for larger jobs in Tottenham. This allows us to assess access, parking, staircases and item volumes so we can send the right van size, number of movers and equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide professional packing as an additional service. On moving day, our team protects large items with blankets and covers, and we can dismantle basic furniture if required. We label or note fragile items so they are handled with extra care throughout the move.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained movers load the van methodically, securing items with straps and using protective blankets as needed. We work efficiently but never rush at the expense of safety. Once loaded, we travel directly to your destination using sensible routes to minimise time and avoid unnecessary handling.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the delivery address, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing larger pieces where you want them. If we have dismantled furniture, we can reassemble it where agreed. Before leaving, we double-check that you are happy, and that nothing has been left on the vehicle.
Transparent Man and Van Pricing in Tottenham
We believe in simple, transparent pricing. Our rates are typically based on:
- Van size and number of movers
- Distance between addresses
- Expected time on site
- Any additional services (packing, dismantling, storage)
We will confirm whether your move is charged at an hourly rate or a fixed price before you book. There are no hidden charges: parking, congestion and tolls are discussed upfront, and we will always explain how to keep your costs down by planning access and packing efficiently.
Why Choose Professional Man and Van Over DIY
Hiring a professional man and van service in Tottenham offers clear benefits over doing it yourself or using an unverified casual driver:
- Experience – we move furniture and boxes safely every day, reducing the risk of damage or injury.
- Time saving – a trained crew with the right equipment works far faster than ad-hoc help.
- Fully insured protection – your belongings are covered by appropriate policies.
- Reliable attendance – booked slots, confirmation and clear communication.
- Proper vehicles – clean, maintained vans with securing points, blankets and trolleys.
When you factor in van hire, fuel, your time and the risk of damage, a professional man and van is often better value than DIY.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Tottenham operates to clear, professional standards to protect you and your belongings.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are on our vehicle, subject to terms and conditions explained at booking.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property during the move.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are shown correct lifting techniques, van loading methods and how to protect furniture and property.
We are happy to provide proof of insurance and answer any questions about cover limits or specific items before you confirm your booking.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every move as if it were our own property:
- Use of blankets, mattress protectors and floor protection where needed
- Careful manoeuvring to avoid scuffs to walls, doors and stairwells
- Secure strapping of loads to prevent movement in transit
We also consider the environment in how we operate:
- Reusing and recycling boxes where practical
- Planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions
- Maintaining vehicles for efficiency and safety
Real-World Man and Van Use Cases in Tottenham
Moving House or Flat
For smaller homes and flats in Tottenham, a man and van can be more flexible than a large removal truck. Narrow streets, parking restrictions and top-floor flats are familiar challenges, and our local knowledge helps the day run smoothly.
Office and Business Relocations
We regularly assist small offices, shops and self-employed professionals with moves in and around N17. From desks and chairs to boxed stock and IT equipment, we can often complete moves outside business hours to minimise disruption.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Sometimes moves are last-minute – a sale falling through, a tenancy change or urgent item collection. Where availability allows, we offer same-day or next-day man and van services in Tottenham. The more detail you can give us at enquiry stage, the faster we can confirm whether we can help.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and van service in Tottenham cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of van, number of movers, travel distance and the time required. Smaller local moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while larger jobs are often priced as a fixed quotation. To give you an accurate figure, we will ask for details of your addresses, access, key items and preferred date. We then provide a clear breakdown of what is included, with no hidden extras, so you can compare our quote fairly with other options.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man and van in Tottenham?
Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day bookings in Tottenham and nearby areas. Availability is best if you contact us early in the day and can be flexible with timing. For urgent moves, please have your addresses, item list and access details ready so we can quickly assess the job. While we cannot guarantee last-minute slots every day, we will always be honest about what is possible and suggest alternatives if we are fully booked.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are on our vehicle, and we also hold public liability cover for work at your property. As with any policy, there are terms, conditions and limits, which we are happy to explain before you book. We will also advise on how best to pack valuables and fragile items, as proper packing is essential for cover. If you have particularly high-value items, please mention them so we can confirm they are appropriately declared.
What is included in a typical man and van removal service?
A standard service includes the van, fuel, a professional driver-mover and, where agreed, additional movers. We load your furniture and boxes, secure them in the van and transport them to your new address. At the destination, we unload into the rooms you specify. Basic protection such as blankets and straps is included. Extra services, such as packing, dismantling/reassembly and disposal of unwanted items, can be added if required and will be clearly listed in your quotation so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What is the difference between a removals company and a man and van service?
A full removals service normally involves larger teams, bigger vehicles, full packing options and is suited to larger house or office moves. A man and van is more flexible and cost-effective for smaller or simpler jobs, such as flats, part loads or single items. At Man and Van Tottenham we operate on the same professional standards as a removals company – including fully insured cover and trained staff – but you only pay for the level of support you actually need. We are happy to advise which option best fits your move.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend or end-of-month moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, as these dates fill quickly in Tottenham. For midweek or off-peak moves, a few days’ notice is often enough. That said, we can sometimes fit in last-minute moves if our schedule allows. The earlier you get in touch, the more choice you will have on times and the easier it is to plan parking and access, which can also help keep your overall costs down.
Removal Van
Removal Van Tottenham – Professional Local Moving Support
Reliable Removal Van Service in Tottenham
At Man and Van Tottenham, our removal van service is designed for anyone who wants a smooth, well-organised move without the stress. You get a modern, well-maintained van, a trained local driver, and if needed, extra movers to handle all the lifting and loading for you.
Whether you are moving a full flat, a small office or just a few bulky items across Tottenham, we combine practical experience with careful planning so your belongings travel safely and arrive on time.
Local Expertise in Tottenham
Working daily in Tottenham means we know the local streets, estates and parking restrictions extremely well. From Victorian terraces off Tottenham High Road to flats near Bruce Grove and student lets around Seven Sisters, we understand the real-world access issues and how to plan for them.
We factor in loading zones, narrow stairwells, lift access and busy main roads when we schedule your job. This local knowledge saves time on the day and helps prevent delays, fines or awkward last‑minute changes.
Who Our Removal Van Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out for renovation works, our removal vans handle anything from a one‑bed flat to a compact family home. We protect furniture, white goods and personal items so they arrive in the same condition they left.
Renters
End of tenancy moves often come with tight deadlines and check‑out inspections. We help renters move quickly and carefully, avoiding damage to walls, doors and communal areas so you have the best chance of recovering your deposit.
Landlords
Landlords in Tottenham use our removal vans for clearing properties between tenants, moving in new furniture packages and taking unwanted items to recycling centres. We work efficiently and can attend with short notice when you need a fast turnaround.
Businesses
From small offices to retail units and studios, our vans support office and commercial moves, stock relocations and equipment deliveries. We can work outside your trading hours where possible to minimise disruption to staff and customers.
Students
Students moving into or out of halls and shared houses around Tottenham benefit from a cost‑effective, smaller removal van option. We move boxed belongings, desks, beds and bikes between accommodation, storage or family homes.
What Our Removal Van Service Includes
Items We Commonly Move
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- Kitchen appliances – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers
- Electronics – TVs, computers, monitors, sound systems
- Boxed personal items – books, clothes, kitchenware, ornaments
- Office furniture – desks, filing cabinets, office chairs, shelving
- Business equipment – POS systems, printers, stock, samples
- Student belongings – suitcases, boxes, small furniture, bikes
What Is Not Included
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, our removal van service does not include:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
- Live animals or pets
- Unsealed liquids that may leak in transit
- Commercial waste or builders’ rubble as a rubbish clearance service
- Very high-value items (such as fine art or jewellery) without prior agreement
If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask when you enquire and we will confirm whether we can transport it or suggest alternatives.
Step-by-Step: How Our Removal Van Service Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Call us or send an online enquiry with basic details: addresses, property type, floors, list of main items and preferred moving date. We ask clear, practical questions so we can recommend the right van size, number of movers and estimate the time needed. You then receive a clear, no‑obligation quote with no hidden extras.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a virtual video survey or a brief onsite visit in Tottenham. This lets us assess access, parking, staircases, lift sizes and any awkward or heavy items. Accurate surveys help avoid time overruns and ensure we bring the right equipment, such as dollies, protective covers and additional staff.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from two options: self‑packing, where you box and label everything in advance, or our professional packing add‑on service. When we pack, we use strong boxes, bubble wrap, paper and furniture blankets. We label rooms clearly to make unloading and placement at your new address far easier.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the property with you and plans the loading order. We use floor protection where needed and handle heavy or fragile items carefully. Everything is secured inside the removal van with straps and blankets to prevent movement. We then drive via the safest, most efficient route between your Tottenham addresses or to your new area.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload in an organised way, putting furniture and boxes into the correct rooms as directed. We reassemble any items we dismantled as part of the move, place white goods in position ready for connection, and complete a final check with you before leaving. We aim to leave your new space tidy and as ready to use as possible.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our removal van service in Tottenham is usually priced either:
- By the hour for smaller or flexible jobs, such as partial moves or single items
- As a fixed price for full property moves where the scope is clearly defined
Your quote will explain exactly what is included: size of van, number of movers, estimated time, mileage, and any extra services such as packing or disassembly. There are no surprise charges for stairs or local travel that we have already discussed and agreed beforehand.
Why Use a Professional Removal Van Service Instead of DIY?
Hiring our removal van with a trained team gives you far more than just transport. We plan access, protect your belongings, manage the heavy lifting and keep everything on schedule. DIY moves often take much longer, risk injury and can lead to damage to properties or possessions through inexperience.
A casual man‑and‑van without proper insurance or training may seem cheaper, but if something goes wrong you may have no real recourse. With us, you get structured service, clear communication and full documentation from start to finish.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Tottenham operates to recognised professional standards so you can book with confidence.
- Goods in transit insurance – Your belongings are covered while being moved in our vans, subject to our terms and conditions.
- Public liability cover – Protection in place for accidental damage to third‑party property during the move.
- Trained moving teams – Our staff receive practical training in lifting techniques, loading, protection, and customer care.
We handle your possessions as if they were our own and always aim to resolve any issues fairly and quickly.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We are committed to moving your belongings carefully while minimising waste and environmental impact. We use heavy-duty furniture blankets and re‑usable protective materials wherever possible, reducing the need for single‑use plastics. Cardboard boxes are sourced responsibly and can often be reused across multiple jobs.
Our vans are regularly maintained for fuel efficiency, and we plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage. For unwanted but usable items, we can signpost you to local charities and recycling facilities in Tottenham to help keep them out of landfill.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Removal Vans
Moving House
Ideal for flats and smaller family homes, our removal vans are equipped to handle full domestic moves. We manage parking, protect stairwells, and can coordinate key‑collection times with estate agents or landlords to keep the day running smoothly.
Office Relocation
When a business in Tottenham needs to move desks, IT equipment and files, we plan the sequence of the move carefully to keep downtime low. We can move you in phases if required, ensuring vital equipment is ready to go at the new site as quickly as possible.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves cannot wait – a sudden change of tenancy, an urgent clearance or a last‑minute change of plan. Where our schedule allows, we offer same‑day or next‑day removal van support in Tottenham. We focus on the essentials, get the job done safely and keep you informed throughout.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in Tottenham cost?
Costs depend on the size of the van, number of movers, distance and how long the job takes. Smaller moves are usually charged hourly, while full house or office relocations are often priced as a fixed quote once we understand the scope. Providing an accurate inventory and clear access details helps keep costs down and avoids overruns. We will always confirm all charges in writing before you book so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Can you provide a removal van at short notice or the same day?
Where our schedule allows, yes. We regularly help with urgent moves in Tottenham, including last‑minute tenancy changes and late completion dates. Same‑day availability depends on the time you contact us, the size of van required and how many movers you need. If we cannot offer your ideal time, we will usually suggest the nearest available slot. Calling us as early as possible on the day gives us the best chance to accommodate your request.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Our removal van service includes goods in transit insurance, which covers your items while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and limits. We also carry public liability cover for accidental damage to third‑party property. Certain items, such as very high‑value goods or unpacked fragile items, may require special handling or declaration. We will explain the key points when you book so you know exactly how your items are protected.
What is included in your removal van service?
As standard, you get a suitable van, a professional driver and, where agreed, additional movers to handle loading and unloading. We provide basic protection such as blankets and straps, and we place items into the rooms you specify at the new address. Optional extras include packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and supply of packing materials. We do not provide cleaning or waste disposal as part of a standard move, but we are happy to recommend trusted local providers if required.
What is the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?
A casual man‑and‑van is often just a vehicle and driver, with limited insurance and no structured process. Our service is a professional removals operation: we carry appropriate insurance, use trained staff, survey properties where needed and plan each job in advance. We bring the right equipment, protect your belongings properly and provide written confirmation of the work agreed. This reduces the risk of damage, delays or misunderstandings and gives you clear support if anything unexpected happens.
How far in advance should I book a removal van?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially for weekends and month‑end, which are our busiest periods. However, we understand that moves do not always go to plan, so we also keep some flexibility for shorter‑notice jobs in Tottenham. As soon as you have a confirmed date, contact us with your details and we will lock in your slot and confirm everything in writing.

Removal Services in Tottenham by Man and Van Tottenham
At Man and Van Tottenham, we provide reliable, well-organised removal services for homes and businesses across Tottenham and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience, we know how to move your belongings safely, efficiently and with minimum stress.
Professional Removal Services Tailored to You
Our removals are designed around your schedule, your property and your budget. Whether you are moving a studio flat, a family home, a small office or just a few bulky items, we plan each job carefully and assign the right size vehicle and team.
Every move is carried out by trained, uniformed staff using the correct equipment – moving blankets, straps, trolleys and tools – so your belongings are protected from start to finish.
Local Expertise in Tottenham
Working daily in Tottenham means we understand the local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts. From high-rise flats near Tottenham Hale to terraced houses around Bruce Grove, we plan access, parking and routes in advance to avoid delays.
This local knowledge helps us provide realistic timings, avoid congestion where possible and communicate clearly with you and your building management, making move day smoother and less stressful.
Who Our Removal Services Are For
Homeowners
If you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of the area, we handle full household removals with care. We can move everything from garden furniture and sheds to fragile glassware and artwork.
Renters
We regularly help tenants move between rented flats and houses, often within tight timeframes. We are used to stair-only access, narrow corridors and strict check-out times, and we work carefully to avoid any damage to the property.
Landlords
Landlords use our removal services to clear properties between tenancies, remove old furniture or prepare for refurbishment. We can combine removals with basic item relocation to storage if required.
Businesses
From small offices to local shops, we offer organised office and commercial removals. We can move desks, IT equipment, filing cabinets, stock and displays, ensuring minimal disruption to your trading hours.
Students
Students moving to and from halls or shared houses in and around Tottenham benefit from our smaller moves service. We can move boxes, suitcases, bikes, small furniture and tech safely and affordably.
What Our Removal Services Include
Items Commonly Included
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (disconnected)
- Boxes, bags and crates of personal belongings
- Office furniture and equipment – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, printers
- Electronics – TVs, PCs, monitors, audio equipment
- Outdoor items – garden furniture, tools, BBQs, bikes
Items We Generally Exclude
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need prior discussion:
- Hazardous materials – fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners
- Illegal items or substances
- Unsealed liquids that may leak and damage other goods
- Very high-value items such as fine art or jewellery (unless agreed in writing)
- Animals or live plants for long-distance moves
If you are unsure about any specific item, we will clarify during your enquiry so there are no surprises on the day.
Our Step-by-Step Removal Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: addresses, property type, approximate contents and preferred move date. We ask targeted questions so we can give a clear, no-obligation quote. Our pricing is transparent, with no hidden extras for stairs, waiting time or fuel, unless clearly stated.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves, we carry out a quick video or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, volume of goods and any special items such as pianos or large wardrobes. The survey helps us choose the right vehicle, equipment and number of movers to keep your move efficient and safe.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack your own belongings or add our packing service. Where requested, we supply boxes, tape and wrapping materials. On move day we protect furniture with blankets and, where appropriate, dismantle large items such as bed frames and tables. Everything is labelled so it can be placed correctly at the new address.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional team carefully carries items to the van, securing them with straps and padding to prevent movement in transit. We plan the load order so essential items are accessible first at the destination. Your belongings are then transported directly to your new property using well-maintained vehicles.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new address, we unload systematically, taking items to the rooms you specify. If we dismantled furniture, we can reassemble it as agreed. We check the van carefully at the end to ensure nothing has been left behind and undertake a quick walk-through with you before we leave.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of items to be moved
- Access and distance between properties
- Number of movers and size of vehicle required
- Optional services – packing, materials, dismantling/reassembly
For smaller jobs we may offer a simple hourly rate, while larger moves are usually a fixed price. All costs are explained before you book, so you know exactly what is included. There are no surprise add-ons at the end of the job.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
DIY moves or casual man-and-van bookings can appear cheaper but often cost more in time, stress and damage. Our removal services provide:
- Trained staff who know how to handle heavy, awkward and fragile items
- Proper protection – blankets, straps, covers and tools
- Organised loading to maximise space and avoid breakages
- Reliable timing and communication, so you can coordinate keys and cleaners
- Appropriate insurance cover, giving you financial protection if something goes wrong
This level of professionalism reduces the risk of personal injury, damage to property and unexpected delays on move day.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible removals provider, we take your belongings and your peace of mind seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties
- Trained, experienced moving teams following safe lifting and handling practices
We are happy to outline our cover and limits in writing and advise you when additional cover might be sensible for particularly high-value items.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped, boxes are stacked safely and fragile items are clearly marked. We minimise the risk of scuffs and scrapes to walls and floors through careful handling and the use of protective equipment.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible we reuse strong boxes and packing materials, plan efficient routes to reduce mileage and encourage customers to recycle or donate unwanted items rather than sending them to landfill.
Real-World Uses of Our Removal Services
Moving House
From one-bed flats to full family homes, we plan and carry out complete household moves across Tottenham and beyond. We can work around completion times, key handovers and tight building management rules.
Office and Business Relocations
We help businesses move within Tottenham or to new premises elsewhere in London. Moves can be scheduled outside of normal working hours to reduce disruption, with particular care taken over IT equipment and important documents.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves arise unexpectedly – tenancy changes, relationship breakdowns or urgent office relocations. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or next-day removals, providing the same level of care and organisation even at short notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in Tottenham cost?
The cost depends on the size of your move, access at each property, distance travelled and any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly. Smaller local moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. During your enquiry we ask detailed questions or arrange a survey so we can give an accurate price with no hidden extras. You will receive a written breakdown of what is included before you decide to book.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removals?
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or short-notice removal services in Tottenham and nearby areas. Urgent moves are handled with the same care and professional standards as planned jobs, but availability will depend on existing bookings, vehicle size and team capacity. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with your details. We will confirm quickly if we can help, outline realistic timings and provide a clear price before you commit.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved, and public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. Our team is trained to minimise risks, but insurance gives an extra layer of reassurance. We can share our policy details, including limits and exclusions, on request. For particularly high-value items or specialised goods, we may recommend you check your own home or business insurance for additional cover.
What is included in your removal service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your belongings between properties within agreed times. We supply the vehicle, a suitable number of movers, protective blankets and securing straps. On request we can add packing, supply of materials and dismantling/reassembly of furniture. All inclusions are itemised in your quote so you know exactly what to expect on the day. Items such as hazardous materials and certain high-value goods are excluded or require prior agreement, which we explain clearly before booking.
How is a professional removal service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may simply provide transport and lifting help, often without clear terms or insurance. Our removal services are structured and fully documented, with trained staff, appropriate insurance, proper equipment and pre-move planning. We assess access, plan the load, protect furniture and coordinate timings with you. This reduces the risks of damage, delays and last-minute problems. For simple single-item moves, a basic service may be enough, but for most home or office relocations a professional removal service offers far greater peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend and month-end moves, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, as these dates are very popular. Midweek and off-peak slots can sometimes be arranged at shorter notice. If your move date is not yet fixed, we can provide an estimate and pencil you in, then confirm once contracts or tenancy dates are finalised. The more notice you give us, the easier it is to secure your preferred time and arrange any additional services such as packing.
Storage
Storage in Tottenham with Man and Van Tottenham
At Man and Van Tottenham we provide secure, flexible storage for households and businesses across Tottenham and the surrounding areas. Whether you are between properties, clearing space, or need long‑term business storage, we collect, protect and store your belongings in clean, monitored facilities – then deliver them back when you are ready.
Professional Storage Services in Tottenham
Our Tottenham storage service is designed to remove the hard work and risk from storing your belongings. We combine a reliable removals team with secure storage units, so you don’t need to hire a van, carry heavy items or worry about where things will go.
We offer:
- Short‑term storage – ideal for moves, renovations and decorating
- Long‑term storage – for items you don’t need every day
- Furniture storage – sofas, wardrobes, beds and more
- Business storage – stock, equipment, documents and archive boxes

Everything is handled by our trained, experienced local team, so your items are moved safely and stored correctly from day one.
Local Tottenham Expertise
Based in the area, we know Tottenham’s roads, estates and parking restrictions extremely well. That local knowledge means we can plan efficient collection and delivery times, avoid delays, and manage loading where access is tight or time‑limited.
We routinely work in:
- Tottenham Hale and surrounding new developments
- Seven Sisters, Bruce Grove and Northumberland Park
- Main and side streets off the High Road, including permit‑only zones
This local experience keeps disruption to a minimum and helps protect your belongings from rushed or poorly planned moves.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you are selling, downsizing or renovating. We can store whole house contents or just larger pieces while you have work done or wait for completion.
Renters
If your tenancy dates don’t line up or you’re between rooms, we collect and store your belongings safely until your new place is ready, avoiding the cost of overlapping rents.
Landlords
Use our storage when changing tenants, refurbishing, or converting a property. We can remove and store furniture, white goods and contents, then return them when required.
Businesses
From trades and online sellers to local offices, our business storage gives you extra space for stock, tools, literature and files without committing to a long commercial lease.
Students
Ideal for end‑of‑term and summer breaks. We collect from halls or shared houses around Tottenham and store your belongings until the new academic year.
What We Can Store
We can safely store most household and office items, including:
- Furniture: sofas, tables, beds, wardrobes, drawers, desks, chairs
- Boxes and bags: clothes, books, ornaments, personal items
- Appliances: fridges, freezers (defrosted), washing machines, microwaves
- Office items: filing cabinets, archive boxes, computers, monitors and peripherals
- Sports and hobby equipment: bikes, gym equipment, instruments (with proper packing)
What We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items cannot be accepted into storage. These include:
- Perishable goods and food items
- Flammable, corrosive or hazardous materials (paints, fuels, gas cylinders, chemicals)
- Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
- Animals, plants or any living organisms
- Cash, high‑value jewellery or irreplaceable documents (wills, deeds, passports)
- Explosives, fireworks or weapons
If you are unsure about a particular item, ask our team beforehand and we will advise on safe alternatives.
How Our Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or email with a rough list of what you need to store, your addresses and timings. We provide a clear, no‑obligation quotation based on volume, access and distance, explaining all charges upfront.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger storage moves, we will carry out a virtual video survey or an onsite visit in Tottenham. This allows us to accurately estimate the space required, plan for access (stairs, lifts, parking) and decide how many movers and what size vehicle will be needed.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or choose our professional packing service. We use strong cartons, wrapping paper and bubble wrap to protect fragile and valuable items. Furniture is dismantled where needed and wrapped in blankets or specialist covers before loading.
4. Loading & Transport to Storage
On collection day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and walls where necessary, and carefully loads your belongings onto our vehicles. Everything is secured for transport and taken directly to our storage facility, minimising handling.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the facility, we unload your items systematically and place them into your designated storage space. Items are stacked to protect delicate pieces and maximise space. An inventory can be taken on request, so you know exactly what is in store and where.
Transparent Pricing for Storage in Tottenham
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your storage cost is typically made up of:
- Collection and transport – based on time, distance and team size
- Storage space – priced by the size of unit or volume used
- Duration – charged weekly or monthly, with discounts for longer bookings
- Optional services – such as packing and materials
There are no hidden extras. Before you book, we confirm exactly what is included and how any future redeliveries or access visits will be charged.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY Options
Hiring a lock‑up and moving items yourself can seem cheaper, but often proves more stressful and risky. With Man and Van Tottenham you benefit from:
- A professional removals team to lift, carry and load safely
- Correct protection for furniture and fragile items
- Secure, managed storage rather than damp garages or makeshift spaces
- Reduced risk of damage from poor packing or over‑stacking
- Time saved on multiple trips with a rented van
This is especially important when you are juggling moving dates, work and family commitments.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, so we back up our service with robust protection and standards:
- Goods in transit insurance covering your items while we are moving them
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property during handling
- Trained, experienced movers who follow proven lifting and packing techniques
- Regularly maintained vehicles and monitored storage facilities
We treat your belongings as if they were our own and always operate to professional, industry‑recognised standards.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We focus on careful handling at every stage. Furniture is wrapped, boxes are stacked sensibly, and fragile cartons are clearly marked. Where possible we use reusable padded covers and blankets to reduce waste, and we encourage customers to reuse or recycle boxes.
When we do need new materials, we favour recyclable cardboard and paper over plastics. Old furniture and unwanted items can be taken to appropriate recycling centres on request, helping you clear space responsibly.
Real‑World Storage Use Cases
Moving House
If your sale and purchase dates don’t match, we can remove everything from your old property, store it securely, then redeliver to your new home once the keys are ready – keeping your move on track.
Office Relocations
Businesses often need temporary storage when refurbishing or relocating. We can store furniture, IT equipment and files while your new space is fitted out, then return everything in a planned, phased way.
Urgent or Last‑Minute Moves
Life doesn’t always give much notice. If a tenancy ends suddenly or building work overruns, we can often arrange rapid collection into storage, giving you breathing space while you decide your next steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage in Tottenham cost?
Storage costs depend mainly on how much space you need, how long you need it for and whether you require collection and redelivery. We usually charge a fixed fee for the removal team and van on collection day, plus a weekly or monthly rate for the storage space itself. Longer‑term bookings may qualify for reduced rates. Once we know roughly what you have to store and your timings, we will provide a clear written quotation with all costs itemised, so you can budget with confidence.
Can you offer same‑day or urgent storage?
Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange same‑day or next‑day storage collections in Tottenham, particularly for smaller loads or single rooms. Availability will depend on how busy we are and the time of your call, so it is always best to contact us as early in the day as possible. Even when we cannot reach you immediately, we will discuss practical options and try to offer the earliest realistic slot to keep your situation under control.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them between your property and the storage facility. The storage facility itself will also have its own insurance arrangements in place. We will explain the level of cover in detail before you book, including any single‑item limits or exclusions. If you have very high‑value items, we may recommend that you maintain or extend your own contents insurance as an extra safeguard. Our aim is to ensure you are fully informed about how your belongings are protected.
What’s included in your storage service?
Our standard service includes the collection of your belongings from your Tottenham address, safe loading by our trained team, secure transport, and placement into a suitable storage space. We supply removal blankets and protective covers for furniture as standard. Optional extras include professional packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, packing materials, and redelivery from storage to your new or existing address when required. All inclusions and options are set out clearly in your quotation so you know exactly what to expect.
How is your service different from a basic man‑and‑van?
A casual man‑and‑van will usually just move items from A to B, often without specialist packing, insurance or secure storage. We provide a structured service: professional movers, protective materials, proper planning, insurance cover and access to monitored storage facilities. We also handle dismantling, careful stacking and inventory options where needed. In short, you are not just hiring a van; you are hiring an experienced removals and storage team who take responsibility for your belongings from collection through to final redelivery.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as the end of the month or summer. However, we understand that storage needs can arise suddenly, so we always try to accommodate late bookings where we can. Even if your dates are not fixed yet, it is helpful to get in touch early so we can advise on availability, estimate costs and pencil in provisional arrangements that can be adjusted if your plans change.
Packing and Boxes
Packing and Boxes in Tottenham by Man and Van Tottenham
At Man and Van Tottenham, we provide a dedicated packing and boxes service for moves in and around Tottenham. As a local, experienced removals company, we know that good packing is the difference between a smooth, stress-free move and a stressful one full of damage and delays.
Professional Packing and Boxes Service Explained
Our packing and boxes service covers everything from supplying high‑quality materials to carefully wrapping, packing, labelling and preparing your belongings for transport. Whether you are moving a small flat or a full family home, our professional team can handle the lot.
We use strong double‑walled boxes, specialist wardrobe cartons, archive boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper and tape designed for removals work. Items are packed methodically so they are protected, easy to move and simple to unpack at the other end.
Local Expertise in Tottenham
Working daily across Tottenham and nearby areas, we understand local housing stock, parking restrictions and access issues. From narrow terraced houses off Tottenham High Road to high‑rise flats near Tottenham Hale, we plan our packing around your property type and access.
Because we are local, we can offer flexible timings, short‑notice packing appointments and realistic advice based on years of work in the area. You get a service grounded in real Tottenham experience, not a one‑size‑fits‑all national template.
Who Our Packing and Boxes Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling and moving out of a house in Tottenham, we can fully pack your home or just handle the rooms you are worried about, such as the kitchen, loft or garage. We keep disruption low and coordinate with your move date.
Renters
Flat and house renters often need to move quickly and with minimal time off work. Our team can come in the day before, or even on move day, to pack efficiently so you avoid last‑minute stress and protect your deposit by leaving the property clear and tidy.
Landlords
For landlords dealing with end‑of‑tenancy clearances, refurbishments or staging, we can pack remaining furniture and contents into labelled boxes for storage or disposal. This is ideal when you need a property turned around between tenancies.
Businesses
Offices, shops and small industrial units in Tottenham benefit from systematic packing. We provide professional packing for files, IT equipment, stock, fixtures and fittings, ensuring everything is labelled and easy to locate after the move.
Students
Students moving into or out of Tottenham accommodation often have limited time, transport and storage. We offer cost‑effective packing and boxes packages ideal for smaller loads, including term‑time to summer‑storage packing.
What Is Included in Our Packing and Boxes Service
Our standard packing and boxes service typically includes:
- Supply of strong removal‑grade boxes in a range of sizes
- Wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes
- Bubble wrap, packing paper and tape
- Careful wrapping of fragile items (glassware, ornaments, pictures)
- Protective packing for TVs, computers and electronics
- Systematic room‑by‑room packing
- Clear labelling of boxes for easy unloading and placement
- Optional dismantling of simple furniture for safer packing
What Is Not Included
For safety, legal and practical reasons, some items are excluded from our packing service:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, paint, solvents, gas bottles)
- Perishable or open food items for long‑distance or overnight moves
- Illegal items or substances
- Cash, jewellery and important documents (we recommend you carry these yourself)
- Heavy industrial machinery or commercial plant without prior agreement
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during the survey so there are no surprises on the day.
Our Step‑by‑Step Packing and Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details of your move: property size, dates, addresses and whether you need full or part packing. We provide an initial estimate and explain the options clearly so you can decide what level of support you need.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
We then carry out a virtual or onsite survey of your Tottenham property. This lets us see access, volume, fragile items and any special requirements. From this, we create a clear written quotation outlining exactly what is included in your packing and boxes service.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our trained packing team arrives with all materials. We work systematically, room by room, protecting furniture and fragile items. Boxes are filled to the correct level, sealed and labelled by room and contents. If you prefer to pack some items yourself, we simply supply the materials and focus on the rest.
4. Loading & Transport
Once packing is complete, our removals team loads everything safely onto our vehicles. Boxes are stacked securely, and furniture is protected with blankets and covers. We then transport your belongings to your new address using our fully insured vehicles.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload and place boxes and furniture into the appropriate rooms based on the labels and your instructions. Because everything is clearly marked, this stage is quicker and more organised, making unpacking much easier for you.
Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes in Tottenham
We believe in straightforward pricing. Costs depend mainly on:
- Property size and volume of contents
- Whether you choose full or part packing
- Special items (antique furniture, artwork, large TVs, etc.)
- Number of packers required and time on site
Your written quote will clearly separate packing costs, materials and moving charges so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras – if anything changes, we discuss it with you before proceeding.
Why Use Professional Packers Instead of DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
DIY packing or relying on a casual man‑and‑van might seem cheaper, but it often results in damaged items, poorly used space and far more time spent. Our professional packers are trained to protect fragile belongings, maximise box space and load efficiently so your move is safer and faster.
We use the right materials, label everything clearly and work to an organised plan. This reduces the risk of breakages and the stress of trying to find important items at the other end. For anything more than a very small move, professional packing pays for itself in time, safety and peace of mind.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Tottenham operates to recognised industry standards:
- Goods in Transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Trained packing and moving teams with practical experience
We handle your possessions as if they were our own. In the rare event that something does go wrong, our cover and clear procedures mean issues are dealt with promptly and fairly.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care not only of your belongings but of your home and the environment. Floors, banisters and doors are protected where needed, and fragile items are packed to withstand normal transport shocks.
Where possible, we minimise waste by reusing strong boxes, offering buy‑back or collection of reusable cartons after your move, and choosing recyclable materials. We avoid over‑packing and keep vehicle trips efficient to reduce our environmental impact in and around Tottenham.
Real‑World Use Cases for Our Packing and Boxes Service
Moving House in Tottenham
Families and couples moving between houses benefit from full packing, especially when juggling work, children and sale deadlines. We can pack the entire property over one or two days, coordinate with your move date and keep disruption to a minimum.
Office Relocation
When relocating an office, organised packing is essential. We supply archive boxes, IT crates and labels so your team’s equipment and documents arrive in order. This reduces downtime and helps your Tottenham business get back up and running quickly.
Urgent or Last‑Minute Moves
Sometimes a move comes up at short notice: landlord changes, job relocation or unexpected events. Where our schedule allows, we offer urgent packing and boxes support, stepping in quickly to pack key rooms and fragile items safely so you can still move on time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does packing and boxes service in Tottenham cost?
Costs depend on the size of your property, how much you want us to pack and any special items. For a small flat, part‑packing can be quite economical, while full packing for a large house will naturally cost more. After a short assessment, we provide a clear written quotation breaking down labour and materials. There are no hidden fees, and you can choose between full packing, fragile‑only packing or materials‑only supply to suit your budget.
Can you offer same‑day or urgent packing in Tottenham?
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same‑day or short‑notice packing and boxes services in Tottenham. Availability depends on how many packers are free and the size of the job, so it is always best to call as soon as you know your date. For urgent moves, we may suggest a focused service, such as packing only fragile or high‑value items, while you pack simpler items yourself to keep things both achievable and cost‑effective.
Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?
Yes. Our service includes Goods in Transit insurance for items we are moving and handling, along with public liability cover for work on your property. This applies when our team has packed and handled the items using our materials and methods. We always explain the key points of cover before work starts and are happy to answer questions about specific belongings, so you know exactly how you are protected throughout the packing and moving process.
What is included in a professional packing and boxes service?
Our service typically includes supply of removal‑grade boxes, wardrobe cartons, bubble wrap, paper and tape, plus trained packers to wrap and pack your belongings. We work room by room, protecting fragile items, packing efficiently and labelling every box. If agreed, we can also dismantle simple furniture and prepare items for safe loading. You can choose full packing for the entire property or limit the service to specific rooms or fragile‑only packing, depending on your needs and budget.
How is this different from a basic man‑and‑van service?
A basic man‑and‑van typically expects you to pack everything yourself and may only provide transport and lifting. Our service is a structured removals operation with professional packing, quality materials, written quotes and proper insurance. We plan the move, protect your property, label boxes and place items in the right rooms at the new address. This level of care and organisation significantly reduces the risk of damage and lost items compared with an informal, transport‑only service.
How far in advance should I book packing and boxes in Tottenham?
Ideally, you should book your packing service one to three weeks before your move, especially during busy periods such as month‑end or summer. This allows time for a survey, quotation and scheduling the right size team. However, we understand that dates can change, so we remain as flexible as possible. If your completion or move date is not fixed, we can pencil you in and confirm once things are finalised, helping to secure availability without committing to the wrong day.

You can contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details of your move: current address, destination, size of office and preferred dates. We provide an initial estimate and explain the options available, from simple transport-only moves to full packing and setup.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
To give an accurate quote, we carry out a survey, either via video call or in person. We assess access, parking, staircases and lifts, and compile a clear inventory of furniture, IT equipment and boxes. This is also the time to discuss any specific requirements, such as out-of-hours moves or weekend relocations to minimise disruption.
3. Packing & Preparation
On smaller moves, you may prefer to pack yourselves using your own crates or boxes. For many businesses, we provide a professional packing service using sturdy cartons, IT crates and protective materials. We label by department or room to ensure everything lands in the right place. Sensitive items such as monitors and servers receive extra wrapping and cushioning.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team arrive at the agreed time, protect key areas with floor coverings where necessary, and systematically load your items. Heavy and bulky objects are moved with trolleys and dollies to reduce risk of damage. Everything is securely tied and padded in our vehicles for safe transport. We always plan routes carefully to avoid unnecessary delays through Tottenham traffic.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new office, we unload and place items according to the agreed layout, positioning desks, tables and cabinets where you need them. We can set up basic furniture, stack crates neatly and ensure walkways remain clear. Our team work with your staff or IT provider to make sure key areas are accessible so you can get back to work quickly.
Transparent Pricing for Office Removals in Tottenham
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing without hidden extras. Our office removal quotes are based on:
- Volume and type of items to be moved
- Access at both properties (floors, lifts, stairs, parking)
- Distance between locations
- Level of service required (e.g. packing, dismantling, weekend work)
- Any special handling requirements for IT or sensitive equipment
We provide a written quotation detailing what is included so you know exactly what you are paying for. If your requirements change before moving day, we will update the quote and confirm any adjustments in advance.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY
While it can be tempting to hire a casual van and ask staff to help, a business move is rarely straightforward. Using a professional office removals service offers clear advantages:
- Reduced risk of injury to staff and damage to equipment
- Faster, more organised move with a clear plan and timings
- Appropriate vehicles, trolleys and protective materials
- Cover under goods in transit insurance and public liability
- Experienced, trained removals teams who do this every day
For most businesses, the cost of extended downtime or damaged IT far outweighs the saving from doing it yourselves.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Tottenham operates to clear professional standards so you can trust us with your office assets.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property during the move.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in lifting techniques, handling IT equipment and working in busy office environments.
We are transparent about what our insurance covers and will explain any limits or exclusions before you book, so expectations are always clear.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your office property as if it were our own. Desks and cabinets are wrapped or protected as needed, IT equipment is carefully padded, and walkways are kept tidy to prevent accidents. We use reusable crates and durable protective materials wherever possible to reduce waste, and we plan routes sensibly to avoid unnecessary mileage.
When requested, we can also help with responsible disposal or recycling of unwanted office furniture, in line with local regulations and environmental best practice.

Sometimes you are not changing address, just reconfiguring your space. We can relocate departments between floors, move storage areas or shift heavy filing cabinets without disrupting the rest of the building.

Leases change, repairs become urgent, or unexpected opportunities appear. Where our schedule allows, we offer rapid-response office moves in Tottenham, focusing on essential items first so your core operations can continue with minimal interruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Tottenham cost?
The cost depends on the size of your office, the amount of furniture and equipment, and the access at each property. Smaller single-room office moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger multi-room relocations are usually quoted as a fixed price after a survey. Additional services such as packing, dismantling or weekend work will also affect the fee. We always provide a clear, itemised quotation before you commit, so you can budget accurately and avoid surprises.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
Where our schedule allows, we can support same-day or short-notice office moves in Tottenham. Availability will depend on the size of your move, vehicle space and staffing on the day you enquire. For urgent relocations, we prioritise essential workstations, IT equipment and key furniture so your team can continue working as quickly as possible. Contact us as soon as you know you need to move, and we will be honest about what we can achieve within your timescale.
What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?
We provide goods in transit insurance for your items while they are being transported in our vehicles, and public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property during the move. These policies are designed for typical office furniture and equipment, with defined limits and exclusions. We will outline the key details before you book and can answer questions about higher-value items or specialist equipment. If you require additional cover, we are happy to work with you or your insurer to make suitable arrangements.
What exactly is included in your office removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, safe transport and unloading of your office furniture, equipment and packed boxes between addresses. We can also provide optional services such as professional packing, supply of crates and materials, dismantling and reassembly of basic furniture, and out-of-hours work to reduce disruption. During your survey, we agree what is and isn’t included, then confirm it in writing. That way you know precisely what our team will handle and what your staff or other contractors will be responsible for.
How is a professional removals service different from a casual man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van is often geared towards small, straightforward moves and may not be set up for complex office relocations. As a professional removals company, we provide trained teams, appropriate equipment, and dedicated insurance cover for commercial moves. We carry out surveys, plan access and timings, protect floors and equipment, and coordinate with your business needs. This structured approach greatly reduces the risk of damage, delays and downtime, which is especially important when you are moving valuable IT equipment and critical files.
How far in advance should I book an office removal?
For most office relocations, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or weekend move. This allows time for a proper survey, planning, and any packing or crate deliveries. However, we understand that not all moves can be planned that far ahead. If your timeline is shorter, contact us as early as possible and we will do our best to accommodate you within our schedule, prioritising key dates and essential items.
Man with a Van
Man with a Van Tottenham – Reliable Local Moving Support
At Man and Van Tottenham, our man with a van service is designed for people who want a professional, efficient move without paying for a full-scale removals crew. You still get an experienced local driver, a suitable van, and careful handling of your belongings – just with a more flexible, pay-for-what-you-need approach.
What Our Man with a Van Service Includes
Our man with a van in Tottenham is a streamlined removals option, ideal for smaller moves and quick jobs. You get:
- A modern, clean, fully-equipped van sized to your job
- A trained, local mover – and extra movers if required
- Loading and unloading of your items
- Short- or long-distance transport
- Optional packing help and materials on request
We combine the flexibility of a traditional man-and-van with the standards of a fully insured, professional removals company. Everything is planned, booked, and confirmed properly, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
Local Expertise in Tottenham
We work across Tottenham every day – from terraced streets off the High Road to new flats near Tottenham Hale and family homes around Bruce Grove. That local knowledge matters when:
- Planning access on tight or busy streets
- Allowing realistic loading and travel times
- Advising on parking, loading bays and permits
- Timing moves around school runs and match days
Because we’re local, we know the buildings, estate layouts and common access issues in N15 and N17. That allows us to plan ahead, reduce delays and protect your belongings from rushed or awkward manoeuvres.
Who Our Man with a Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you’re moving from or to a smaller property, clearing a garage, or transporting a few large items such as wardrobes, white goods or sofas. We can often move a well-packed one-bedroom flat in a single van load.
Renters
Ideal for flat and house moves around Tottenham or across London. If you’ve already boxed your belongings, our man with a van service gives you a cost-effective, straightforward move with a trained mover handling the heavy lifting.
Landlords
We regularly help landlords with end-of-tenancy furniture removals, part-furnished clearances, and delivering or collecting beds, sofas and appliances. We work efficiently and can coordinate directly with tenants or agents if needed.
Businesses
For small offices, shops and studios, our service works well for moving desks, stock, equipment and archive boxes. We can schedule out-of-hours or weekend moves to minimise disruption and provide additional movers when there’s more to shift.
Students
Students in and around Tottenham, Finsbury Park and the wider North London area use our man with a van service to move between halls, house shares and home. We can handle a single room’s contents in one trip, often at off-peak times to keep your costs down.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, chests of drawers
- Boxes, bags, and suitcases
- Kitchen appliances – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers (disconnected)
- Electronics – TVs, PCs, monitors, sound systems
- Office furniture and equipment
- Student belongings – books, clothing, small furniture and tech
Items We Cannot Move
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items of any kind
- Uncontained loose liquids
- Live animals (including pets and livestock)
- Industrial machinery beyond van capacity or safe handling limits
If you’re unsure about a particular item, ask when you enquire. We’ll confirm whether we can move it safely or suggest an alternative solution.
Our Step-by-Step Man with a Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with basic details: addresses, approximate list of items, floor levels and desired date. We’ll ask a few focused questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote – either fixed price or an hourly rate, depending on what suits the job best.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For straightforward small moves, a phone call and photos or a short video are usually enough. For more complex jobs, we can arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess access, parking and item sizes, so we send the right van and number of movers on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings or request our packing help. We can supply boxes, tape and protective materials in advance, or arrive early to help you finish off. We’ll advise how to label boxes and prepare appliances, wardrobes and fragile items to keep everything safe in transit.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, we arrive on time, protect key items with blankets and straps, and load systematically so nothing is crushed or unsecured. Our trained mover – or team – handles the heavy lifting and navigates the best route from Tottenham to your destination, keeping you informed of any delays.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload into the rooms you choose rather than leaving everything in one pile. We’ll position larger furniture where you want it and can do basic reassembly of simple items if agreed in advance. Before we leave, we’ll walk through with you to confirm everything has arrived safely.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. With our man with a van service you can expect:
- Competitive hourly rates for small or flexible jobs
- Fixed-price quotes for defined moves with clear inventories
- No hidden charges – parking, congestion or out-of-hours fees are discussed in advance
- Options for one-man or two-man crews depending on your budget and needs
Your price depends mainly on the volume of goods, access (stairs, lifts, distance to van), number of movers required and mileage. We’ll explain the most cost-effective option for your situation so you can make an informed choice.
Why Choose a Professional Man with a Van Over DIY
A DIY move or a casual man-and-van from an online ad might look cheaper at first glance, but it often costs more in time, stress and damage. With Man and Van Tottenham you benefit from:
- Professional handling techniques that protect your belongings and your property
- Fully insured vehicles and cover for your goods (within policy limits)
- Proper equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets and tools
- Confirmed bookings, written quotes and predictable arrival times
- Experienced local drivers who understand London traffic and access issues
In short, you get a realistic timescale, careful handling and someone accountable for doing the job properly – not just shifting boxes as quickly as possible.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a removals company, not just a casual driver, we operate to clear professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they’re in our vehicle, subject to terms and declared values
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property
- Trained moving teams – staff are briefed on lifting techniques, safe loading and customer care
- Well-maintained vehicles with the right restraints and protection
We’ll explain the relevant cover at quotation stage and can advise on any high-value items that may require additional protection.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your belongings is central to how we work. We use padded blankets, straps and careful stacking to prevent movement and rubbing during transit. Fragile items are kept separate and clearly marked, and we always treat your home with respect – protecting walls, bannisters and floors where needed.
We also try to work responsibly. Wherever possible we:
- Reuse sturdy boxes and protective materials
- Plan efficient routes to minimise mileage
- Offer furniture and appliance collection for charity shops or recycling centres
The aim is simple: move you safely while minimising waste and unnecessary trips.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Man with a Van in Tottenham
Moving House or Flat
For smaller homes and flats, our man with a van service can handle your entire move in one or two van loads. We often help people stepping into their first rental or moving between nearby areas such as Seven Sisters, Edmonton and Wood Green.
Office and Shop Relocations
Small businesses use us to move between units, swap out furniture, or deliver stock. We can collect from storage, transport to your new site and position everything so you can set up quickly.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Life isn’t always predictable. When you need to move quickly – sudden tenancy changes, emergency clear-outs, last-minute purchases – we’ll do our best to offer same-day or next-day man with a van support in Tottenham, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with a van in Tottenham cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of the van, the number of movers you need, and how long the job takes. Smaller local moves are usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while more defined moves may be priced as a fixed quote. Stairs, difficult access and long walking distances can add time, so we factor those in when quoting. Contact us with a rough inventory and addresses and we’ll give you a clear, itemised estimate before you commit.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man with a van services?
Yes, we can often provide same-day or next-day man with a van support in Tottenham, especially for smaller moves or single-item jobs. Availability depends on our existing bookings and the size of van and team required. If your timings are tight, call us as early as possible and we’ll let you know realistically what we can do. Even when we can’t match your exact time, we may be able to offer a nearby slot that still solves the problem for you.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items while they are in our vehicle, alongside public liability cover. This offers protection in the event of loss or damage resulting from our negligence, subject to policy limits and conditions. We’ll outline the key points when quoting and can confirm cover for high-value items if you let us know in advance. We still ask that you pack sensibly, especially fragile items, so the insurance is a back-up rather than your primary safeguard.
What’s included in your man with a van service?
Our standard service includes a suitable van, a professional driver-mover, loading and unloading of your belongings, and transport between the agreed addresses. We bring blankets and straps to protect and secure your items. On request, we can add extra movers, packing assistance, packing materials and basic furniture dismantling and reassembly. Parking costs, congestion and toll charges are either built into a fixed quote or clearly itemised so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
What’s the difference between removals and a man with a van?
A full removals service is usually aimed at larger moves and can include detailed surveys, full packing, extensive dismantling, multiple movers and larger vehicles. Our man with a van service is more flexible and cost-effective for smaller moves, partial loads or single items. You still get a trained, fully insured professional, but with a lighter setup and simpler planning. If you’re unsure which option suits you, tell us what you’re moving and we’ll guide you towards the most suitable and economical choice.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekends, month-ends and peak moving periods, we recommend booking your man with a van in Tottenham at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred time. For weekday or off-peak moves, a few days’ notice is often enough. That said, we understand that not every move is planned – if you need something at short notice, get in touch and we’ll check availability and do our best to fit you in.
