At Man and Van Crayford, we provide reliable, carefully planned furniture removals for homes and businesses across Crayford and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on moving experience, we know how to protect your belongings, minimise disruption, and keep your move running on time.
Our furniture removals service is designed to take the heavy lifting, organisation, and stress off your shoulders. We handle:
Every move is carried out by a trained, professional team using the right equipment, from padded blankets and mattress protectors to trolleys and securing straps.
Working day in, day out across Crayford gives us a practical advantage. We understand local roads, parking restrictions, and typical building layouts, from flats near Crayford station to family homes on residential estates and local business premises.
That local knowledge helps us plan realistic timings, choose the right vehicle sizes, and avoid access problems on moving day. It also means we can often help at short notice when other companies can’t.
Moving between houses in Crayford or further afield? We move full households or just selected rooms, keeping your furniture protected from door to door. If you’re renovating, we can also move and store furniture temporarily.
Whether you’re moving from a studio flat or a three-bedroom rental, we work around tight stairwells, limited parking and building rules. We’re used to protecting walls and communal areas to keep landlords happy and deposits safe.
We support landlords with furnished and part-furnished property clearances, end-of-tenancy moves, and swapping or replacing key items such as beds, wardrobes and sofas between properties.
From small offices to high street shops, we manage office and commercial furniture removals across Crayford. Desks, chairs, cabinets and meeting room furniture are all handled systematically to cut downtime.
For students moving to or from Crayford, we offer cost-effective student moves – ideal if you just need a room’s worth of furniture and personal belongings moved between term-time and home addresses.
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, we generally cannot move:
If you’re unsure about a particular item, just ask – we’ll advise honestly and, where needed, recommend a suitable specialist.
Contact us with your move details: addresses, furniture list, access points, and preferred dates. We’ll ask a few focused questions so we can give you a clear, no-obligation estimate. Quotes are transparent, with no hidden extras for standard moves.
For anything more than a small load, we recommend a quick survey. This can be virtual (video call and photos) or onsite in Crayford. We assess access, parking, staircases, lift use and any dismantling required. This allows us to plan the right team, vehicle and timings.
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a packing service. Either way, on moving day we protect key furniture with covers, blankets and wrap. Mattresses and upholstered items are covered, and fragile pieces are handled with extra care. Dismantling and reassembly of wardrobes, beds and tables can be included by prior arrangement.
Our trained team loads methodically, securing furniture to prevent movement in transit. We use trolleys and lifting aids to protect both your items and the property. Vehicles are maintained to a high standard, and your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance during the journey.
On arrival, we place furniture into the rooms you specify, not just the nearest space. We’ll reassemble agreed items and position larger pieces so you can start using the space straight away. Before leaving, we check you’re happy with the placement and that nothing has been missed.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our rates are based on:
For smaller moves, we may offer a simple hourly rate with a minimum charge. For full households or offices, we usually provide a fixed-price quote so you know exactly where you stand. All quotes clearly state what is and isn’t included so there are no surprises on the day.
Hiring a professional removals team is not just about convenience. It’s about protection, safety and efficiency:
Compared with a casual man-and-van, we offer structured planning, written confirmations, insurance cover and a level of care that comes from treating this as a serious profession, not a side job.
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We back up our promises with proper protection:
We also maintain our vehicles and equipment to professional standards, carry out risk assessments where needed, and follow sensible health and safety practices on every job.
We treat every item as if it were our own. That means using protective covers, avoiding dragging items, and taking time to plan routes through the property to prevent scrapes and scuffs. Where access is tight, we’ll discuss options with you rather than forcing furniture through and risking damage.
We’re also mindful of our impact on the environment. We reuse sturdy cartons and protective materials wherever hygienic and appropriate, encourage clients to recycle unwanted items responsibly, and plan routes sensibly to cut unnecessary mileage. When disposing of old or broken furniture, we aim for licensed recycling facilities wherever possible.
From terraced houses to new-build estates, we handle full-house furniture moves, often alongside boxed belongings. We can liaise with your estate agent or landlord about keys and access if needed.
When a local business relocates, time matters. We plan office furniture removals around your working hours, including evenings or weekends by agreement, to keep disruption to a minimum.
Sometimes things change quickly – a tenancy ending sooner than expected, a sale completing faster than planned, or last-minute builder delays. Where availability allows, we offer same-day or urgent furniture removals in Crayford and nearby areas, with the same standards of care as any planned move.
Costs depend on the volume and type of furniture, distance between addresses, access, and the number of movers needed. Smaller loads within Crayford may be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking, while full-house or office moves are usually quoted at a fixed price after a brief survey. Our quotes are transparent and itemised, so you know exactly what’s included. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with a list of items and a few photos, and we’ll provide a tailored estimate.
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can often offer same-day or short-notice furniture removals in Crayford. Availability will depend on the size of the job, the time of your enquiry, and how far we need to travel. For urgent moves, it helps if you can send photos or a quick video of what needs moving so we can assess vehicle and staffing requirements quickly. While we recommend booking in advance where possible, we always do our best to accommodate genuine urgent requests.
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being transported in our vehicles. We also carry public liability cover for incidents affecting third-party property. Insurance is there for peace of mind; our priority is to avoid problems in the first place through careful handling and proper protection. We’re happy to explain in plain language what is and isn’t covered before you book, and we can provide proof of cover if required by your building management or landlord.
As standard, we provide a vehicle sized for your job, a trained moving team, protective blankets and securing straps, loading, transport and unloading of your furniture to the rooms you specify. We take care to protect both items and property, and we’ll place furniture where you want it rather than leaving it by the door. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of larger pieces, and removal of unwanted furniture by prior arrangement. All inclusions are clearly listed on your quote and booking confirmation.
A casual man-and-van may be fine for a few boxes, but for furniture it’s usually worth choosing a professional removals service. We offer written quotes and confirmations, full insurance cover, trained staff, and purpose-equipped vehicles. That means better protection for your belongings and clearer responsibility if something goes wrong. We also plan carefully around access, parking and timing, which reduces stress on the day. In short, you’re paying not just for a van and some labour, but for experience, organisation and accountability.
For most moves, booking 2–3 weeks in advance gives the best choice of dates, especially if you need a specific day or time. Fridays, month-ends and bank holiday periods tend to fill up fastest. That said, if your plans are still taking shape, it’s worth getting in touch early so we can pencil in likely dates and advise on options. If you’re working to very short timescales, contact us anyway – we can often shuffle smaller jobs or allocate additional vehicles to make space for urgent Crayford moves.
Moving to or from student accommodation in Crayford doesn’t need to be stressful or expensive. At Man and Van Crayford, we provide a reliable, well-organised student removals service designed around tight budgets, shared houses, and term-time schedules. As local removals professionals, we understand the realities of student life: limited time, limited storage, and often no car.
Our student service focuses on moving your belongings safely between halls, shared houses, studios and home addresses. Whether you are arriving for first year, changing accommodation mid-course, or heading home for good, we make sure everything is transported securely and on time.
Unlike casual man-and-van adverts, our teams are fully insured, properly equipped and trained to handle everything from fragile tech to bulky furniture. We turn up when we say we will, communicate clearly, and treat your belongings with the same care as a full household move.
Based in Crayford, we know the local roads, parking restrictions, halls of residence and typical student lets in the area. That local knowledge means we can plan realistic arrival times, navigate tight streets and loading bays, and avoid unnecessary delays.
We regularly help students moving between Crayford and nearby areas such as Dartford, Bexley, Bexleyheath, Sidcup and beyond, as well as to and from home addresses elsewhere in the UK. If you are unfamiliar with Crayford, we can also advise on access, timings and practicalities around your new address.
Although this page focuses on student moves, our service is designed to work for a range of clients connected with student accommodation:
Student moves are usually smaller than full house removals, but still include a mixture of personal and practical items. We regularly move:
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our student removals service:
If you are unsure about a particular item, ask us in advance – we will give clear guidance so there are no surprises on moving day.
Contact us by phone, email or enquiry form with your dates, addresses and an outline of what needs moving. We will ask a few practical questions about access, floors, parking and volume of items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included and any options such as packing help or extra stops.
For most student removals in Crayford, a brief virtual survey (photos or video call) is more than enough. This helps us estimate time, vehicle size and any special handling you may need. For larger or more complex moves – for example, shared houses with several students moving at once – we can arrange an onsite survey if required.
You can pack your own belongings, or we can supply quality boxes and materials in advance. If you prefer, we offer a packing service where our trained team carefully packs your items, protecting fragile pieces and labelling boxes clearly. Either way, we provide guidance on how best to pack tech, books and breakables so everything travels safely.
On moving day, our team arrives on time, introduces themselves, and walks through the plan with you. We protect items as needed, stack and secure everything professionally in the van, and use straps and blankets to prevent movement in transit. Your belongings are then transported directly to the new address in a well-maintained, clean vehicle under goods in transit insurance.
At your new accommodation we unload and place items where you want them – bedroom, living area or storage space. We can assemble basic flat-pack furniture on request and will check that you are happy before we leave. Any packaging materials we bring can be taken away or left neatly for reuse or recycling.
We know students and parents need clear, predictable costs. Our pricing is based on:
For many smaller student moves within or near Crayford, we can offer a fixed-price package so you know exactly what you will pay before booking. There are no hidden extras – all charges and options are explained clearly in advance.
It is tempting to rely on friends, a parent’s car or an unverified man-and-van advert. In practice, that often leads to last-minute cancellations, damaged items, or multiple time-consuming trips. A professional removals service offers:
For many students, the cost difference between DIY and a professional service is smaller than expected, especially when you factor in fuel, time and the potential cost of damaged belongings.
Man and Van Crayford operates to the same standards for student moves as for any full house removal. We hold:
We work methodically, keep communication clear, and respect the rules of halls and private accommodation – including quiet hours, access times and parking instructions. Our vehicles are regularly checked and maintained, and we follow sensible health and safety practices on every job.
Even though student moves are often smaller, we treat your belongings with the same care as a full family home. We use blankets, straps and protective covers as needed, and we encourage sensible packing to prevent damage.
We also try to work in a more sustainable way by:
The goal is to move you safely while minimising waste and unnecessary trips.
We regularly help first-year students and their families move into halls or shared student accommodation in and around Crayford. We can collect from your home address, load everything in one go, and handle the drive and unloading so you can focus on settling in.
Shared houses often have tight move-out and move-in days. We coordinate timings carefully, work efficiently to get you out of one property and into the next, and can combine loads if several housemates are moving together.
If you are heading home for the summer but keeping your accommodation, we can move your belongings into local storage, then bring them back when you return. This is particularly useful for international students who cannot take everything home.
Sometimes plans change suddenly – a tenancy ends early, a course location changes, or accommodation falls through. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice moves in Crayford, giving you a dependable option when time is tight.
Costs depend on how much you are moving, the distance between properties, and any additional services such as packing or extra stops. Many student moves in and around Crayford fall into a smaller, fixed-price range, especially if they can be completed in one van load. When you contact us, we will ask a few questions and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote. There are no hidden charges – all travel time, loading and unloading are included in the price we agree.
Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice student removals in Crayford and nearby areas. The more notice you can give, the better the chance of securing your ideal time, but we understand that student accommodation plans can change quickly. If you need an urgent move, call us rather than emailing so we can check availability immediately and give you a realistic answer on timings and costs.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance as standard, covering your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover for work at your property. These policies are designed for typical student and domestic items such as furniture, clothing, books and electronics. We will explain any limits or exclusions when you book, and we always recommend that high-value items are noted in advance so we can ensure they are packed and loaded with extra care.
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, professional removals staff, loading at your current address, secure transport, and unloading at your new property. We position items in the rooms you request and can assemble basic furniture by arrangement. Optional extras include packing materials, a packing service, additional collection or drop-off points, and moves into or out of storage. Everything that is included for your specific move is listed clearly on your quote and booking confirmation.
A casual man-and-van may be cheaper on paper, but it often comes without proper insurance, training or reliability. Our service is run by an established removals company with trained staff, fully insured vehicles and a structured booking system. We use professional moving equipment, plan routes and timings carefully, and turn up when we say we will. For many students and parents, that peace of mind – especially when moving valuable tech and personal items – is well worth the small difference in cost.
For peak times such as the start and end of term, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you have a fixed key collection time. Outside those busy periods, a week’s notice is often sufficient, and we can sometimes help at shorter notice. Early booking gives you more choice of dates and times, and allows us to plan your move smoothly, but we will always do our best to accommodate genuine last-minute needs.
Moving in or out of a flat in Crayford comes with its own challenges: tight stairwells, lift restrictions, parking issues and neighbours to consider. At Man and Van Crayford, our dedicated flat removals team handles these details every day, making your move organised, efficient and stress-free.
Our flat removals service is designed specifically for apartments, maisonettes and studio flats in and around Crayford. Whether you are on the ground floor or the top floor, with or without a lift, we plan the move around your building rules, access points and time restrictions.
We work across Crayford and neighbouring areas, coordinating moves with building management, arranging suitable parking, and ensuring minimal disturbance to other residents.
Our service is tailored for:
Whether it is a single studio or a large multi-bedroom flat, we scale the team and vehicle to suit.
We regularly move a full range of household and flat contents, including:
We provide professional packing and furniture protection as required, using blankets, covers and straps to keep everything secure.
For safety and legal reasons, there are some items we normally exclude:
If you are unsure about a particular item, ask in advance and we will confirm whether we can move it or suggest an alternative solution.
You contact us with your moving date, addresses and a rough idea of what needs moving. We ask a few targeted questions about access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining what is included and any optional extras such as packing.
For larger flats or more complex moves, we arrange a brief survey. This may be a virtual video call or an onsite visit in Crayford. We confirm furniture sizes, volume of boxes, access routes and any building restrictions, such as lift booking times or loading bay rules. This ensures the right team size, vehicle and equipment on the day.
You can choose between:
We label boxes clearly so they end up in the correct rooms in your new flat, saving time during unloading.
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and communal areas where needed, and carefully carries items via stairs or lifts. Furniture is wrapped and secured in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We plan the route from Crayford to your destination to avoid unnecessary delays and keep you updated if traffic affects timings.
At your new flat, we unload in an organised way, placing furniture and boxes into the correct rooms as directed. We can reassemble standard flat-pack furniture that we have dismantled, and will not leave until you are satisfied that everything has been placed where you want it.
We price our Crayford flat removals fairly and transparently. Costs are usually based on:
You will receive a clear breakdown with no hidden extras. If circumstances change, we discuss any price adjustments with you before proceeding.
Trying to move a flat with a borrowed van or casual help can quickly become stressful: awkward staircases, parking fines, damage to walls, or injuries from lifting. A professional service like Man and Van Crayford offers:
This not only protects your possessions but can also safeguard your tenancy deposit by preventing damage to the flat.
We operate as a fully legitimate removals business in Crayford, not a casual side-line. For your peace of mind we provide:
We take care to follow building rules, respect neighbours, and keep communal areas clean and undamaged throughout the move.
Your belongings are handled as if they were our own. We use quality transit blankets, mattress covers and sofa protectors, and secure everything with straps to reduce movement. Floors and bannisters are protected where necessary to avoid scuffs and scrapes.
Where possible, we reuse strong cartons and materials, and minimise single-use plastics. We plan routes efficiently around Crayford to reduce unnecessary mileage, and can advise on responsible disposal or donation of unwanted items before you move.
We handle a wide variety of moves, including:
Whatever your situation, we aim to keep disruption to a minimum and ensure a calm, well-organised moving day.
The cost of a flat removal depends on the size of your flat, the volume of belongings, distance between properties and the level of service you choose. A small studio move within Crayford will usually be at the lower end of the scale, while a large multi-bedroom flat with packing and dismantling will cost more. After a short discussion or survey, we provide a clear, fixed quote so you know exactly what to budget with no hidden extras.
Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or very short-notice moves in Crayford, especially for smaller flats or part loads. Availability depends on existing bookings, so it is always best to call us as soon as you know you need to move. If we cannot fit you in at your preferred time, we will suggest the nearest possible slot and advise how to prepare quickly so the move runs smoothly.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance, which covers your possessions while they are being transported in our vehicle, and public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. This is an important difference between a professional removals company and informal help. We will explain the key terms and any limits before you book, and you are welcome to ask about higher-value items so we can ensure they are properly documented and protected.
Our standard service includes a suitably sized vehicle, a professional moving team, loading, secure transport and unloading into the correct rooms in your new property. We bring protective blankets, straps and basic tools for dismantling and reassembling standard furniture. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials and disposal of unwanted items by prior arrangement. We confirm exactly what is included in your quote so there are no surprises on moving day.
While we do offer a flexible man-and-van style option, our flat removals service is run as a professional, fully insured removals operation. That means trained staff, proper planning, surveys where needed, protective equipment and clear written quotes. A casual man-and-van may be cheaper initially, but often lacks insurance, experience with tricky access and the manpower to handle larger flats efficiently. Our approach reduces the risk of damage, delays and extra costs later on.
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you are moving at the end of the month or on a weekend, when demand is higher. For most flat removals in Crayford, one to three weeks' notice works well, giving time for a survey and for you to prepare or pack. However, we understand that dates sometimes change or come up quickly, and we will always do our best to fit you in at shorter notice where possible.
Moving a piano is very different from moving ordinary furniture. At Man and Van Crayford, we provide a dedicated piano removals service in and around Crayford, carried out by experienced, trained movers who understand the weight, balance and fragility of these instruments.
Whether it is an upright in a terraced house, or a baby grand in a first-floor flat, we use the correct equipment, protection and handling techniques to relocate your piano safely and efficiently, with full goods in transit insurance as standard.
Based in Crayford, we know the local streets, parking restrictions and property layouts extremely well. That local knowledge matters when you are manoeuvring a heavy piano through narrow doorways, small halls and tight staircases.
We regularly work in Crayford, Dartford, Bexleyheath and surrounding areas, so we can plan the best access routes, assess likely challenges in advance, and coordinate timings to avoid local traffic pinch points. This helps us protect your instrument and keep your move running smoothly.
Our piano removals in Crayford are suitable for:
We handle one-off piano moves as well as moves that are part of a wider house or office relocation.
If you are unsure whether your instrument or circumstances are covered, let us know during the enquiry stage so we can advise and quote accurately.
Contact us by phone or online with basic details: piano type, collection and delivery addresses, number of steps or floors, and any access concerns. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining any factors that may affect the price such as challenging access or long carry distances.
For more complex jobs, we carry out a short video call or onsite survey. This allows us to see doorways, stairs, corners and outside access, so we can plan the safest route, choose the right team size, and confirm whether extra equipment or time is needed. This step greatly reduces surprises on moving day.
On the day, we protect the piano and your property before anything is moved. We use padded covers, blankets and floor protection panels, and carefully secure lids and moving parts. For grand and baby grand pianos, we may remove legs and pedals, labelling and protecting each component ready for reassembly at the destination.
Using specialist trolleys, skids and ramps, our professional team moves the piano safely out of the property and into our vehicle. The instrument is securely strapped to prevent movement in transit. Our vehicles are clean, well maintained and suitable for heavy, delicate loads, with full goods in transit insurance in place throughout the journey.
At the new address, we repeat the protection steps, then carefully move the piano into the room you specify. Where we have dismantled parts, we reassemble them and position the piano as directed. We can make minor adjustments to placement so you can find a practical spot before your tuner attends.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our piano removal costs are typically based on:
We explain all charges before you book, so there are no surprise fees on the day. For straightforward local upright moves, we can often give a price range immediately over the phone, then confirm once we have full details.
Pianos are extremely heavy, awkward to handle and surprisingly fragile. Attempting a DIY move or using a casual man-and-van can lead to back injuries, damage to the piano, and damage to floors, stairs and door frames.
With Man and Van Crayford you benefit from:
In most cases, the cost of professional piano removals is far less than the cost of repairing a damaged instrument or injured back.
As a responsible removals company, we operate with robust cover and procedures to protect you and your property.
We treat every piano as if it were our own, and we are always happy to explain how our cover applies to your specific move.
Pianos are not only expensive, they are often emotionally important. We handle each move with care and respect, using thick padded covers, blankets and floor protection to reduce the risk of knocks, scratches or dirt.
Where possible, we reuse durable protective materials and minimise single-use plastics. We also plan routes sensibly to cut unnecessary mileage, which is better for the environment and helps keep your costs fair.
The cost depends mainly on the type of piano, the distance travelled and how straightforward the access is at each property. Local upright piano moves with easy ground-floor access are the most economical, while large grand pianos, stairs, tight corners or long carries will increase the price. Once we know the details, we provide a clear, fixed quote with no hidden extras. Contact us with your piano type, postcodes and access notes, and we will give you an accurate price before you commit.
We can often help with same-day or short-notice piano removals in Crayford, depending on our schedule and the complexity of the job. Simple local moves with good access are the easiest to fit in at short notice. More complex moves involving stairs or grand pianos may require a little more planning. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as possible with full details and we will do our best to accommodate you or offer the soonest available slot.
Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our care and being transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover for added protection. Our team takes great care to prevent any issues in the first place, but knowing that proper insurance is in place gives you extra peace of mind. If you would like to see policy details or clarify how cover applies to your specific move, simply ask when you book.
Our standard service includes the safe loading, transport and unloading of your piano between the agreed addresses, plus all necessary protective blankets, covers and moving equipment. For grands and baby grands, we include basic dismantling and reassembly, such as removing and refitting legs and pedals where required. We also protect floors and walls as we move the instrument. Tuning, repairs and long-term storage are not included as standard, but we can often recommend trusted local specialists if needed.
A general man-and-van service may not have the training, insurance or equipment needed for safe piano handling. Professional piano removals use trained staff, piano-specific skids and trolleys, proper strapping systems and tailored protective materials. We plan routes carefully, understand how to manage weight and balance, and carry appropriate insurance. This significantly reduces the risk of injury or damage. While it may cost a little more than a basic man-and-van, it is usually far better value when you consider the risks involved.
For preferred dates and times, particularly at weekends or month-ends, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. This gives us time to carry out any necessary survey and schedule the right team and equipment for your move. However, we understand that not every move can be planned so far ahead. If your dates are flexible or the move is straightforward, we may be able to fit you in at shorter notice. It is always worth getting in touch to check availability.
At Man and Van Crayford, our man with van service is designed for anyone who needs reliable, flexible and cost‑effective help with moving in and around Crayford. Whether you are moving a single item or a full flat, you get an experienced driver, a clean, well-maintained van and a professional local removals team who treat your belongings as carefully as their own.
Our man with van option is a streamlined version of a full removal, ideal for smaller moves or when you need heavy-lifting support. You can book us by the hour or for a fixed job.
You can choose a driver-only service if you are happy to help with lifting, or add one or more trained movers if you prefer us to handle all the heavy work.
We are a Crayford-based company, not a distant call centre. Our team knows the local streets, estates and parking arrangements inside out. That means:
This local knowledge helps your move run smoothly and keeps costs under control.
Perfect for small house moves, taking items to storage, or bringing new furniture home. We can also support larger house moves by supplying extra vans and movers as needed.
Ideal for flat and maisonette moves where access can be tight and parking limited. We work carefully in communal areas and can help you avoid damage charges at the end of your tenancy.
We regularly help landlords with clearing properties, moving furniture between lets and transporting white goods. We can work to short notice to help you prepare a property for new tenants.
From small office relocations to moving equipment between branches, our professional man with van teams work efficiently and discreetly to minimise disruption to your operations.
Students moving to and from Crayford benefit from a low‑stress service that fits around term dates and budget. We can move a single room’s contents in one straightforward trip.
For safety and insurance reasons, we cannot usually carry:
If you are unsure about any item, tell us at the enquiry stage so we can advise or offer a tailored solution.
You contact us with basic details: addresses, dates, size of move and any access issues. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us, either hourly or fixed price depending on the job.
For straightforward jobs, a detailed phone call or video survey is usually enough. For larger or more complex moves, we can arrange an onsite visit. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, item sizes and any disassembly or protection needed.
You can handle your own packing, or we can provide packing services at an agreed cost. Either way, we advise on suitable boxes and labelling. On the day, we protect key furniture items with covers and blankets and ensure appliances are safe to move.
Our trained team loads the van carefully, securing items to prevent movement in transit. We use trolleys, straps and protective blankets as standard. Your goods are then transported directly to the destination using efficient routes local to Crayford.
On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing items sensibly so you can settle in more quickly. We can reassemble basic furniture that we dismantled for transport by prior agreement.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our man with van service is usually charged in one of two ways:
Your quote will explain:
There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs (for example, unexpected waiting time) are discussed openly in advance.
Hiring a van and doing it yourself can seem cheaper, but it often leads to extra time, stress and damage. With Man and Van Crayford you benefit from:
In practice, a professional man with van team will usually complete the job faster and with fewer problems than a DIY move.
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised industry standards.
Full details of cover limits and exclusions are available on request. We are always happy to explain how our insurance works in plain language.
We treat every move with care, regardless of size or value. Furniture is wrapped where appropriate, and fragile items are positioned safely in the van. We work neatly in hallways and stairwells to avoid scuffs and marks.
We also aim to operate responsibly. Wherever possible we reuse durable packing materials, maintain our vehicles for optimal efficiency and plan routes to minimise unnecessary mileage. If you have unwanted furniture, we can help arrange responsible disposal or charity collection where feasible.
For small to medium house moves, our man with van service offers a flexible option. We can complete the move in one or more trips, depending on your budget and timetable, and coordinate with key collection times.
Small businesses and home offices rely on us for efficient moves that keep downtime to a minimum. We can move desks, chairs, IT equipment and files, working outside normal hours if required.
Sometimes things change at short notice. If we have availability, we can provide same-day man with van assistance for urgent situations such as last‑minute tenancy changes, emergency clearances or time‑sensitive deliveries.
Costs depend mainly on how long the job takes, how many movers you need and the distance travelled. For smaller moves, we usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger or well‑defined jobs can be priced as a fixed quote. To give you an accurate figure, we will ask about the items you are moving, access at each property and your preferred date and time. There is no charge for a quote, and we explain all potential extras in advance.
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent bookings in Crayford, depending on existing schedules and vehicle availability. The earlier you contact us, the more likely we can help, especially during busy periods such as Fridays and month-ends. For urgent moves, having a clear list of items, accurate addresses and flexible timing helps us respond quickly. Same-day work is usually charged at our standard hourly rates, and we will always confirm costs before you commit to the booking.
Our service includes goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to our terms. We also hold public liability cover, which offers protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property. These policies sit alongside our careful working practices: proper lifting, secure loading and the use of protective materials. We are happy to share policy details and answer questions so you understand exactly what is and is not covered before moving day.
Every man with van booking includes a van, fuel, a professional driver and basic protective equipment such as blankets and straps. You can choose to add extra movers to handle all lifting and carrying, or opt for driver-only if you prefer to assist. We load, secure, transport and unload your items to the rooms you specify. Optional extras, such as packing services, packing materials or furniture disassembly and reassembly, can be added at an agreed cost. All inclusions and options are clearly set out in your written quote.
Unlike an informal or cash-in-hand man-and-van, we operate as a professional removals business with trained staff, insurance and proper equipment. We provide written quotes, confirmed booking times and clear terms and conditions, so you know exactly what to expect. Our vehicles are maintained and equipped for removals work, not just general transport. In practice, this means a more reliable, safer service with better protection for your belongings and your property, and proper accountability if anything does not go to plan.
For weekend and month-end moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred slot. For midweek or smaller jobs, we can often help with shorter notice, sometimes even the same day. The more notice we have, the easier it is to plan the right team and van size for you. If your dates are not fixed, we can pencil in a provisional booking and confirm once you know more. Always contact us as soon as you have an approximate moving window.
When you need to move today, you need a removals team that reacts quickly, turns up on time, and knows exactly what they’re doing. At Man and Van Crayford, we specialise in same day removals in Crayford and the surrounding areas, providing a fast, well-organised service carried out by trained, professional and fully insured movers.
Our same day service is designed to get you moved safely and efficiently at short notice. Whether it’s a full home move or a few urgent items, we can help with:
Every job includes careful handling, proper loading, safe transport and placement of items in the new property, all managed by an experienced local team.
Man and Van Crayford is based in the local area, and we know Crayford’s roads, estates and access points extremely well. This matters especially with same day removals, where timing and route planning are critical.
We regularly work across Crayford and nearby districts, dealing with:
Because we’re local, we can usually respond quickly, give realistic arrival times, and choose routes that avoid unnecessary delays.
If your completion date has been brought forward or changed at short notice, we can step in with a same day house removals team to get you out of your current property and into your new home with minimal stress.
Whether you’re moving between rentals, facing an unexpected notice, or need to be out today, our same day removals are ideal for flats, studios and shared houses across Crayford.
We support landlords who need urgent clearances or fast tenant moves – from removing abandoned furniture to preparing a property quickly for new occupants.
For small and medium-sized businesses, we offer rapid-response office and commercial removals. That includes moving office furniture, IT equipment, stock and archives at short notice, with care taken to minimise downtime.
Students often need quick moves between halls, shared houses and storage. Our same day student removals cover single rooms, shared flats and small loads, keeping costs sensible while still providing a professional service.
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot normally transport:
If you’re unsure whether we can move a particular item, just ask during your enquiry and we’ll give a clear answer before booking.
Call or message us as soon as you know you need to move. We’ll ask a few key questions – addresses, access details, number of rooms, main items, and your timing. Wherever possible, we provide a fixed or clearly estimated price before we set off, so you know where you stand.
For same day removals, we usually carry out a fast virtual survey using photos or video. For larger or more complex moves (or if we’re very close by), we may do a quick onsite look. The survey ensures we send the right size vehicle, the right number of movers, and any extra equipment needed.
On arrival, we walk through the property with you, confirm what’s going and what’s staying, and plan the order of loading. We can provide packing assistance if needed, but for same day moves it helps if smaller items are already boxed. We protect furniture with blankets and covers, and we use floor protection where appropriate.
Our trained team handles all lifting and loading, using proper techniques and equipment to protect both your belongings and the property. Items are secured in the vehicle to minimise movement in transit. We then transport everything directly to your new address using efficient local routes.
At the new property, we unload items into the rooms you choose, not just the nearest doorway. We’ll place furniture where you want it and stack boxes sensibly so you can unpack easily. Before we leave, we check that everything agreed has been delivered and positioned.
Same day work needs clear, straightforward pricing. At Man and Van Crayford, we explain your costs up front and avoid surprises. Depending on the job, we offer:
Prices are based on factors such as volume of items, distance between addresses, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and the level of help required (loading only, or packing as well). We’ll always tell you in advance what is and isn’t included, so you can make an informed decision.
When time is tight, it can be tempting to grab any cheap van you can find. However, using a professional same day removals service offers clear advantages:
DIY moves or casual man-and-van options often lack insurance, training and accountability, which can end up costing more in damage, delays and stress.
Man and Van Crayford operates to clear, professional standards designed to protect you and your belongings.
We treat your property as we would our own, and we are always happy to explain our cover in more detail before you book.
Even when a move is arranged at the last minute, care and protection remain our priorities. We use padded blankets, straps, mattress covers and appropriate tools to look after your belongings and prevent damage to walls, floors and doors.
Where possible, we work in a more sustainable way by:
We balance speed with responsibility, making sure a same day move doesn’t mean cutting corners.
Chains change and completion dates move. We regularly help homeowners in Crayford who discover they must move earlier than expected. Our team can step in quickly, bringing the right van size and crew to clear a typical two- or three-bedroom house the same day, subject to availability.
Businesses sometimes face unexpectedly short deadlines for leaving a premises or setting up at a new site. We can move desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment in a structured way, keeping essential items accessible so your team can get back to work quickly.
We support both tenants and landlords in emergency situations – from urgent room clearances to same day move-outs. Our focus is on fast, respectful service and clear communication, even under pressure.
Costs depend mainly on how much you’re moving, the distance between properties, access issues and the number of movers required. Smaller flat or room moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while full house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Same day work can carry a premium due to short notice and scheduling, but we always explain charges clearly before you confirm. Contact us with a rough list of items and addresses, and we’ll give you a realistic estimate straight away.
We do our best to offer genuine same day removals, but availability depends on how busy our schedule is when you contact us. Early calls have the best chance of securing a suitable slot, especially for larger moves needing more than one van or multiple movers. Even when we’re busy, we may still be able to help with part-loads, late-in-the-day moves or next-morning alternatives. The sooner you get in touch with your details, the more options we can offer.
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to the usual policy limits and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for work carried out at both properties. As with any insurance, there are exclusions and reasonable packing requirements, which we’re happy to explain before booking. If you have particularly high-value items, please mention them so we can confirm they are appropriately recorded and handled.
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained removals team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We supply blankets and basic protection for furniture as standard. Optional extras can include packing assistance, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and additional trips if required. We’ll confirm exactly what’s included in your quote so there’s no confusion on the day. If you need additional help, such as packing materials or storage, just let us know when you enquire.
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without formal training, written quotes or insurance. A professional removals service like ours provides trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper equipment and a structured process from enquiry to completion. We plan the move, protect your property, handle bulky and fragile items correctly, and take responsibility for the job from start to finish. For urgent or complex moves, this professionalism greatly reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs.
For the best choice of times and pricing, booking several days or weeks in advance is ideal, especially for larger moves. However, we recognise that life doesn’t always give that much notice. If you need same day removals, contact us as early as possible on the day with clear details of what you need. We’ll quickly confirm what we can realistically achieve, offer available time slots, and provide a transparent price before you commit.
At Man and Van Crayford, our man and a van service is designed for people who want reliable, professional help without the cost and complexity of a full-scale removal. You still get an experienced driver, a suitable van, help with lifting, and proper protection for your belongings – just in a more flexible, budget-friendly format.
Our man and a van in Crayford is a streamlined version of a full removals service, ideal for smaller moves or clearances. You get:
We keep things simple: you pay for the time and support you actually need, without cutting corners on safety or care.
Because we’re based in Crayford, we know the local roads, estates and parking restrictions extremely well. That makes a big difference on moving day – especially around busy spots like Crayford Station, the town centre, or new-build developments with tighter access.
We regularly handle moves in and around Crayford, Dartford, Bexleyheath and the wider DA postcode area, so we can plan realistic timings, avoid bottlenecks, and advise you on the best loading and parking options outside your property.
If you’re moving a smaller property, downsizing, or just shifting a few larger items between addresses, our professional man and a van service is often all you need. We’ll safely handle furniture, appliances and boxes so you don’t risk injury or damage.
Flats and rented houses are perfect for man and a van. We regularly help tenants move in or out of Crayford, dealing with stairwells, lifts and limited parking. We can also help with dismantling and reassembling standard flat-pack furniture when requested in advance.
Landlords use us for quick clearances, moving furniture between lets, and collecting or delivering white goods. Our fully insured teams can attend key-collection appointments and work to tight changeover windows between tenancies.
For smaller offices, shops and home-based businesses, a man and a van is often the most cost-effective option. We move desks, IT equipment, stock, displays and archive boxes while keeping disruption to a minimum.
Students moving to or from Crayford benefit from shared-load options and short jobs. We’re used to moving single rooms, suitcases, a few boxes, and maybe a bike or a small desk – no job is too small.
For safety and insurance reasons, our man and a van service does not normally include:
If you’re unsure about a particular item, ask us when you enquire – we’ll confirm what’s possible and how it needs to be prepared.
Contact us with your dates, addresses, and a rough list of what needs moving. We’ll ask a few questions about access, floors, parking and timing. Based on that, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day.
For straightforward man and a van jobs, a phone or video survey is often enough. For more complex moves, we can visit in person. The survey helps us choose the right van size, number of movers, and estimated time so there are no surprises on the day.
Most man and a van customers pack their own boxes. We can, however, supply packing materials in advance, or add a packing service if you prefer us to do it for you. We’ll advise on how to pack fragile items and label boxes so unloading is quicker and easier.
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and doorways where needed, and loads everything securely using blankets, straps and trolleys. We plan the load so items are stable in transit and we drive carefully to minimise any movement in the back of the van.
At your destination, we unload into the rooms you specify. We’ll place furniture where you want it and stack boxes neatly so you can unpack in your own time. Before we leave, we do a quick walk-through with you to check nothing has been missed.
We price our man and a van service in Crayford in a way that’s easy to understand. Typically, this is based on:
You’ll receive a clear quote before you book, with no hidden extras. Waiting time, parking charges or congestion charges (if applicable) will be explained in advance so you know exactly what to expect.
Hiring a cheap, unregulated van may look like a saving, but it often ends up costing more in damage, delays or injuries. With Man and Van Crayford you benefit from:
We treat your belongings and your property with the same care we would our own, helping you avoid the stress and risk that comes with doing it all yourself.
Your peace of mind matters. That’s why all our man and a van work is covered by:
Our movers are trained, experienced and supervised. We follow sensible risk assessments on every job, particularly when handling heavy or awkward items, stair carries, and tight turns. Documentation is available on request for commercial clients who need proof of cover.
We’re careful not only with your belongings but also with how we operate. We use heavy-duty blankets and wrap to protect furniture and surfaces, and we secure loads properly so items don’t shift in transit. Where possible, we:
We also encourage customers to declutter responsibly, and we can recommend local recycling and donation options in and around Crayford.
Perfect for studio and one- to two-bedroom properties where a full removal team might be more than you need. We can complete many local Crayford moves in a single trip.
Smaller office or shop moves can often be handled in one or two van loads outside core business hours. We’re used to working around staff and customers to keep disruption down.
When a tenancy date changes or plans fall through, our man and a van teams can often step in at short notice. If we have availability, we’re happy to help with same-day or next-day bookings across Crayford and nearby areas.
Costs depend on how long you need the van, how many movers are required, and the distance between properties. Smaller local moves may be charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, while longer jobs are usually priced as a fixed quote. To give an accurate figure, we’ll ask about item volume, access, floors, and any extra services such as packing. Once we have the details, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you’ll be paying.
Yes, subject to availability. Because we’re a local Crayford company with our own vehicles and teams, we can often respond quickly to urgent requests, including same-day moves. The more notice you can give us, the better, but if your plans have changed at the last minute, call us and we’ll check our schedule immediately. We’ll be honest about what we can realistically achieve and confirm timings before you commit to anything.
Yes. All man and a van jobs are covered by our goods in transit insurance, which protects your items while they are being transported, subject to policy limits and exclusions. We also carry public liability insurance to cover accidental damage to property or third parties. We’ll explain the key points when you book, and if you have particularly high-value items, let us know so we can advise on any extra precautions or documentation needed.
Our standard service includes the van, driver, loading and unloading assistance, basic protection (blankets, straps, trolleys) and transport between addresses. We place items into the rooms you specify at the new property. Optional extras include packing materials, a packing service, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and additional movers where heavier or bulkier items are involved. When you request a quote, we’ll list everything that’s included so you can see precisely what you’re getting.
Many casual operators offer cheap transport but lack insurance, training, or proper equipment. As a professional removals company, we provide documented insurance, trained staff, risk assessments and well-maintained vehicles. We turn up on time, use correct lifting techniques, and secure your load properly. In short, you’re paying not just for a van, but for experience, reliability and accountability – which significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays or unexpected problems on moving day.
For weekends and month-end dates, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks ahead, as those slots fill up quickly in Crayford. For midweek or off-peak moves, a week’s notice is often enough. That said, we’ll always try to accommodate short-notice jobs where we have space in the diary. The sooner you contact us with your preferred date and time, the more options we can offer, and the easier it is to plan your move efficiently.
Moving home in Crayford can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be.

Every move is handled by a trained, uniformed team who treat your belongings as if they were their own.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing, relocating for work or moving into your first flat, we combine local Crayford knowledge with proven moving techniques to make the day run smoothly.
Our Crayford removals service covers everything from small flats to large family houses. We plan each move in detail, taking into account access, parking, timings and any items that need extra protection or dismantling.
With our professional crews and purpose-equipped vehicles, we can comfortably handle anything from a studio move within Crayford to a full household relocation across the UK.
Working day in, day out in Crayford means we understand local streets, parking restrictions and common access issues around estates and new-build developments. This local knowledge allows us to plan routes, arrange permits where needed and minimise delays on moving day.
We regularly help customers moving to and from Crayford to nearby areas such as Bexleyheath, Dartford, Erith and further afield, so we know the best times to travel and how to avoid common bottlenecks.
From terraced houses to large detached properties, we provide full household removals, including dismantling and reassembly of furniture where required, and optional packing.
If you are moving between rented properties, we offer cost-effective, efficient moves, including careful protection of walls, floors and stairwells to help you leave the property in good condition for your checkout.
We assist landlords with tenant changeovers, part-removals, and clearing furnished properties, always working to agreed timescales to minimise void periods.
Small offices and home-based businesses in Crayford rely on us for secure transport of desks, chairs, IT equipment, stock and archives, scheduled to reduce downtime.
Students moving to or from shared houses, halls or studios benefit from our smaller-load options, ideal for moving personal belongings, clothes, books and desks without paying for a full-size move.
If you are unsure about a particular item, mention it during the quote or survey and we will advise on the safest approach.
Contact us by phone or email with basic details: current address, destination, type of property, number of rooms and any special items. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included, any optional extras, and the likely time required.
For anything more than a small flat, we recommend a survey. This can be virtual (video call and photos) or onsite in Crayford and nearby areas. We assess volume, access, parking, and items needing dismantling. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle, crew size and equipment, and to confirm a fixed, written quote.
You can choose between:
We can also dismantle beds, wardrobes and other furniture where agreed, ensuring all parts are clearly labelled for reassembly.
On moving day, our professional, trained team arrive on time, protect floors and doorways where necessary, and systematically load your belongings. Furniture and delicate items are wrapped and secured in our vehicles using blankets and straps. Your goods are then transported directly to your new property, with route planning based on our local Crayford knowledge.
At your new address, we unload items into the rooms you specify, not just into the hallway. Any furniture we dismantled will be reassembled where agreed. We check that everything is in place before we leave, so you can start settling into your new home straight away.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
Once we have completed a survey, we provide a fixed price for the agreed scope of work. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional costs, such as congestion charges or parking fees, are discussed in advance and itemised where applicable.
Hiring a casual man-and-van or doing it yourself might look cheaper on paper, but it often means multiple trips, increased risk of damage, and a much longer, more stressful day.
With a professional removals company like Man and Van Crayford you get:
This combination usually results in better value overall, fewer breakages, and a far less stressful move.
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:
Details of our insurance cover are available on request, and we are happy to explain how it applies to your specific move.
We use high-quality protective materials, including mattress bags, furniture blankets and floor coverings where required, to minimise the risk of damage. Items are loaded in a logical order, with heavy pieces at the bottom and fragile boxes separated and clearly labelled.
Where possible, we reuse and recycle packing materials. We can collect used boxes after your move in the local area, reducing waste and helping to keep Crayford cleaner and greener.
Many of our clients are simply moving a short distance within Crayford. We plan these moves to minimise time off work, often completing the full move in a single day, including dismantling, transport and reassembly.
For small offices and home-based businesses, we provide careful transport of desks, filing cabinets, computers and stock, keeping equipment properly labelled and grouped so you can restart operations quickly at the new site.
Contracts falling through, last-minute completions and unexpected tenancy changes do happen. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or short-notice moves in Crayford, focusing on safe, efficient loading to get you out of the property on time.
The cost of a house removal in Crayford depends on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, the distance between addresses and the services you choose, such as packing or dismantling. After a short discussion and, where appropriate, a survey, we provide a clear, fixed quote for the agreed work. This quote will outline exactly what is included and highlight any potential additional charges, such as parking fees, so you can budget with confidence before deciding to go ahead.
We can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Crayford and nearby areas, depending on vehicle and crew availability. If your completion date has moved unexpectedly or a tenancy has changed at short notice, contact us as soon as possible with your details. We will be honest about what is achievable within the timeframe and may suggest practical options, such as prioritising essential items or splitting the move into stages to ensure everything is handled safely and efficiently.
Our moves are protected by goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property during the move. These policies are designed to give you additional peace of mind alongside our careful working practices. We are happy to provide confirmation of cover and explain the key exclusions so you can decide whether to arrange any extra protection for particularly high-value items.
Our standard house removals service includes loading all agreed items, transporting them to your new address and unloading them into the rooms you specify. We protect furniture with blankets and secure it properly in the vehicle. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and moves outside normal hours. Everything that is included in your specific service will be listed clearly in your written quote so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
A basic man-and-van usually offers transport only, often with limited equipment and no formal insurance or planning. Our professional removals service includes a structured survey, detailed planning, trained staff, proper protective materials and goods in transit insurance. We handle dismantling, careful loading, room-by-room unloading and, if required, packing. This reduces the risk of damage, saves time and makes the entire process more predictable. Many clients find that the added value more than justifies the difference in price compared with a casual man-and-van.
Ideally, you should book your Crayford house removal as soon as you have a likely moving date, particularly if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end or during busy periods. Two to four weeks’ notice is usually enough for most moves, but we can often accommodate shorter notice, especially for smaller properties. Early booking gives you more choice of dates and allows time to arrange packing materials, parking and access. If your date is not yet fixed, we can still provide a quote and pencil you in provisionally.
At Man and Van Crayford, we provide a reliable, locally focused man and van removals service for homes and businesses across Crayford and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience in UK removals, we handle everything from single-item moves to full flat and office relocations with care, efficiency and clear communication.
Our man and van team offers a flexible, scalable service designed to make moving easier without the cost and complexity of a large removals crew. Typical jobs include:
Every vehicle is clean, well-maintained and equipped with blankets, straps and basic tools to protect your belongings in transit.
Being based in Crayford means we know the local roads, estates and parking restrictions extremely well. This local knowledge helps us:
If you are new to the area, we can also offer practical guidance on timing your move and access to common local developments and estates.
Ideal for smaller house moves, downsizing, or moving selected items during renovations. We can move furniture, white goods, boxes and garden items, and coordinate with other contractors where needed.
Whether you are moving between rented flats, house shares or into your first place, our service is designed to be straightforward and affordable. We are used to stairs, parking challenges and tight access in and around Crayford.
We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, furniture swaps and delivery of new items to furnished properties. We can collect from storage or retailers and deliver directly to your rental address.
Small and medium-sized businesses use us for office moves, internal reshuffles and equipment deliveries. We work methodically to minimise downtime and handle IT, desks, filing cabinets and stock with care.

If you are unsure about a particular item, please mention it when you enquire so we can advise or suggest alternatives.
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with basic details: addresses, dates, property type, floors and a rough list of items. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us, explaining any time-based or fixed-rate options available.
For larger moves or where access may be tight, we will arrange a short virtual survey (video call and photos) or an onsite visit in Crayford. This allows us to confirm vehicle size, number of movers required and approximate timings so there are no surprises on the day.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide packing materials such as boxes, tape and bubble wrap at competitive rates. If requested in advance, we can also help with partial packing for fragile items. We will advise you how to label boxes and prepare appliances to ensure a smooth loading process.
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, carries out a quick walk-through with you, and then carefully loads your belongings. We use blankets, straps and correct lifting techniques to protect your items and your property. Once loaded, we transport everything directly to your new address, taking the most suitable route for current conditions.
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it. We will check everything off against your list and invite you to have a final look around before we leave. If agreed in advance, we can also carry out basic furniture reassembly.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes typically use one of two structures:
Your quote will explain what is included: vehicle, number of movers, mileage, loading and unloading time, and any additional services you have requested. Additional costs, such as extended waiting time due to key delays, are clearly outlined in advance so you can plan accordingly.
Hiring a professional man and van team in Crayford offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual helper from an online listing:
Many DIY moves end up taking longer, involving more stress and risking injury or damage. A professional service gives you predictable costs and peace of mind.
We take our responsibilities seriously and work to professional standards expected within the UK removals industry. As part of this, we provide:
Full details of cover, limits and exclusions are available on request. We always encourage customers to check that any particularly high-value items are sufficiently insured under their own policies as well.
We aim to move your belongings as if they were our own. This means careful handling, clear labelling and sensible planning. Our approach includes:
Where we provide packing materials, we try to select recyclable options and encourage customers to reuse or recycle once their move is complete.
We regularly help couples and families move between flats and smaller houses in Crayford, often where full-scale removals would be excessive. Our flexible booking slots and local road knowledge mean we can work around your completion time and access windows.
Local businesses use us for relocating offices within Crayford or to nearby towns. We move desks, chairs, filing cabinets, stock and IT equipment, and can schedule moves outside normal working hours to reduce disruption.
Sometimes moves come up unexpectedly – a tenancy ending sooner than planned, a last-minute purchase or a change of circumstances. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice man and van services in Crayford, focusing on calm, practical help when you need it most.
Pricing depends on several factors: the size of your move, access at each property, distance travelled and whether you need one or more movers. Smaller, local moves are often charged at an hourly rate, while larger, more complex jobs may be quoted at a fixed price. When you contact us, we will ask a few simple questions and provide a clear quote with no hidden extras. You will know exactly what is included before you decide to go ahead.
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Crayford, depending on our existing schedule and the size of the job. If you need a short-notice move, it is best to call rather than email so we can check availability immediately. We will be honest about what is realistic in the time available and may suggest prioritising essential items first, with a follow-up trip if required.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we are transporting and public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties while we are working. As with any insurance, there are terms, conditions and exclusions, which we are happy to share in full. We also recommend that you keep irreplaceable documents, jewellery and high-value personal items with you and check your home or contents insurance for any additional cover you may require.
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional driver, the agreed number of movers, loading, secure transport and unloading at your new address. We supply blankets and straps to protect items in transit, and we place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. Optional extras, such as packing materials, assistance with packing, and basic furniture dismantling or reassembly, can be added if requested in advance and will be itemised clearly in your quote.
A professional service like ours offers trained staff, suitable vehicles, insurance cover and clear terms and conditions. Casual operators may not be insured, may lack proper equipment and may not provide written confirmation of your booking. We carry out surveys where needed, provide written quotes, turn up on time and follow a defined process from enquiry to completion. This reduces the risk of cancellations, damages or unexpected costs, and gives you greater confidence that your move will run smoothly.
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at weekends and month-end, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. However, we understand that moves are not always planned that far ahead, so we do keep some flexibility for short-notice work. If your dates are fixed, it is wise to reserve as soon as you know them. Even if you are unsure, we are happy to discuss provisional plans and options with you.
At Man and Van Crayford, our removal van service is designed for people who want a smooth, well-organised move carried out by trained, local professionals.

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot usually carry:
If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask – we will advise whether we can move it or suggest an alternative solution.
Everything starts with a simple enquiry. You can call, email or use our online form to tell us what you need. We will ask about property sizes, access, dates and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with no hidden extras.
For larger moves, we recommend a survey. This can be done by video call or an onsite visit in Crayford and surrounding areas. The survey lets us assess volume, parking, stairs, lifts and any awkward items so we can allocate the right size van and the correct number of movers.
You can choose between two main options: we arrive and load items you have already packed, or we provide a packing service. When packing, we use strong boxes, wrapping materials and protective covers for furniture. Appliances are disconnected safely (where possible), and items are labelled clearly for unloading.
On moving day, our team protects floors and bannisters where appropriate and then carefully loads the van. Heavy items go first, followed by balanced stacking of boxes. Everything is secured using straps and blankets. We then drive your belongings via the most suitable route, taking into account Crayford’s local roads and any time restrictions.
At the new property, we unload and place items into the rooms you choose. We follow your labels or instructions so that boxes and furniture end up in the right locations. Before leaving, we do a quick walk-through to ensure you are satisfied and nothing has been overlooked.
We believe in straightforward, easy-to-understand pricing. Our quotes are based on:
We can offer either hourly rates for smaller, flexible jobs, or fixed-price quotes for full moves where the scope is clear. All costs are agreed in advance, so you know exactly what you are paying for before we arrive.
Hiring a van and doing it yourself can appear cheaper at first glance, but it comes with hidden risks and effort. With Man and Van Crayford, you get:
Compared with casual or unregulated man-and-van operators, we provide proper paperwork, clear terms and fully insured services, giving you greater protection and peace of mind.
As a responsible removals company, we operate with the right cover and standards in place:
We keep our vehicles well maintained and clean, carry appropriate safety equipment and follow sensible procedures for lifting, stacking and securing loads. This professional approach reduces the risk of damage and delays.
We take care to protect both your belongings and the properties we work in. Our teams use blankets, shrink wrap and mattress covers as needed to keep furniture clean and free from scuffs. Doorways, bannisters and floors can be protected where risks are higher.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible, we reuse strong boxes, source recyclable packing materials and plan routes efficiently to cut down on unnecessary mileage. When customers no longer need certain items, we can often help direct them to local charity shops or recycling facilities rather than landfill.
Most of our work involves local home moves – flats, terraces, semis and family homes. Our knowledge of Crayford’s estates, parking and one-way systems allows us to plan moves sensibly, even on narrow or busy streets.
We help businesses move between premises, reorganise existing layouts or deliver stock and equipment. This can include out-of-hours work to keep your trading disruption to a minimum.
Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a tenancy ends sooner than expected, or a purchase completes faster than planned. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or short-notice removal van services in Crayford and nearby areas. Contact us as early as you can and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Costs vary depending on how much you are moving, how many movers you need and the distance between properties. For smaller jobs, we may suggest an hourly rate that covers the van and a set number of movers. For full house or office moves, we usually provide a fixed-price quote after discussing details or carrying out a survey. This ensures you know the total cost upfront, with no hidden charges for fuel or standard equipment. Contact us with a brief description of your move for an accurate estimate.
We can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Crayford, depending on existing bookings. If you need a last-minute removal van, call us as soon as possible so we can check vehicle and crew availability. Where we can, we will prioritise urgent cases such as short-notice tenancy ends or emergency clearances. Even for same-day jobs, we still work methodically, protecting your items and providing clear pricing before we start, so you are not surprised by the final bill.
Yes. Our services include goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to third-party property. Insurance works best alongside good preparation, so we recommend proper packing and clear labelling of fragile items. We will walk you through any limits or exclusions that apply to high-value or unusual items before the move, so you understand exactly how you are protected and can choose extra cover if needed.
Our standard service includes a suitably sized van, a trained team of movers, loading and unloading of your belongings, protective blankets and securing straps, and transport between addresses. We place items into the rooms you choose at the destination. Optional extras include packing services, dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, and provision of packing materials. All inclusions and any add-ons are listed clearly in your quote so that you know what is covered and can tailor the service to match your budget and requirements.
A basic man-and-van may simply offer transport and a driver, often without formal training, insurance or proper equipment. Our service is a structured, professional removals operation: we use trained teams, provide goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, carry the correct tools and protective materials, and follow a planned process. We survey larger moves, allocate the right resources and offer clear written quotes. This approach reduces risk, protects your belongings and usually saves time and stress compared with informal or unregulated operators.
For most moves, booking 2–3 weeks in advance is ideal, especially if you are moving at busy times such as month-end or Fridays. This gives us time to arrange surveys, plan logistics and reserve the correct van and team. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy start times can shift. If your schedule is uncertain, you can still discuss provisional dates with us. For smaller or more flexible moves, we may have availability with shorter notice, so it is always worth getting in touch.
At Man and Van Crayford, we provide reliable, well-organised removal services across Crayford and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience handling local and long-distance moves, we focus on careful planning, safe handling and clear communication from first enquiry to final placement of furniture in your new property.
Our removals team handles everything from small flat moves to full house and office relocations. We use purpose-built removal vehicles, quality protective materials and trained staff who move your belongings efficiently while keeping them safe.
Whether you are moving around Crayford, across Kent or further afield in the UK, we tailor our service to your property size, access, timings and any special items that need extra care.
Being based in Crayford means we know the local roads, estates and access issues extremely well. We understand:
This local knowledge helps us plan realistic arrival times, secure parking where needed and reduce delays on move day, keeping your schedule on track.
If you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Crayford, we manage complete house removals, including large furniture, white goods and garden items. We can also arrange packing services if you want everything handled for you.
Moving between rented properties often means fixed entry and exit times. We work to your check-in and check-out schedule, taking good care of walls, floors and stairwells so you leave the property in good condition.
We help landlords with void property clearances, partial removals between tenancies and moving furniture into or out of furnished lets. We can coordinate with your agents or inventory clerks where needed.
For offices, shops and small industrial units, we offer structured office removals and business relocations. That includes desks, IT equipment, files, stock and display units, with careful labelling and placement so you can get up and running quickly.
We regularly help students move between home and term-time accommodation, handling smaller loads efficiently and affordably. This includes boxed belongings, clothes, small furniture, bikes and computer equipment.
We routinely move:
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, we generally exclude:
If you are unsure about a specific item, just ask during your quote or survey and we will advise.
You contact us with basic details: current and new addresses, property type, approximate list of items, and preferred move date. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included and any optional extras such as packing or storage. Pricing is transparent, with no hidden fees added on the day.
For anything beyond a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or onsite in Crayford and nearby areas. We assess volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking), any dismantling required and fragile or awkward items. This allows us to send the right size vehicle, correct number of movers and enough protective materials.
You can choose from:
We use strong boxes, bubble wrap, furniture blankets and mattress protectors, clearly labelling cartons by room to make unloading straightforward.
On move day, our professional team arrives at the agreed time. We protect floors and banisters where needed, load systematically and secure everything in the vehicle using webbing and blankets. Your belongings are transported directly to your new address, using sensible routes and safe driving practices throughout.
At the new property, we unload room by room according to your instructions. Furniture is placed where you want it, and if dismantling/reassembly was agreed, we complete that before we leave. We take away our used blankets and equipment, leaving you with clearly arranged rooms so you can start settling in.
We base our prices on a combination of factors:
All costs are explained clearly in advance. Once we have agreed the scope of work, the price is fixed unless you add significant extra items or services. This approach helps you budget accurately with no unpleasant surprises.
Hiring a professional removal company offers several advantages compared with borrowing a van or using a casual man-with-a-van service:
DIY moves often take longer, involve more trips, and can result in accidental damage or strained backs. A well-planned professional move usually works out better value when you factor in time, risk and stress.
Man and Van Crayford operates to clear professional standards so you know your move is in safe hands:
Full details of cover, limits and any exclusions are available on request and will be summarised in your booking confirmation. We always encourage clients to check that high-value items are fully covered under either our policy or their own.
We treat every move as if it were our own belongings being transported. That means:
We also take a practical approach to sustainability:
From terraced houses near the town centre to larger family homes in surrounding suburbs, we manage full household removals. We coordinate closely with your completion times or key handover to keep everything aligned with your move day schedule.
For local businesses, we plan moves outside normal working hours where required, helping to minimise disruption. We can move filing systems, IT equipment, stock and furniture in an organised sequence so your team can get back to work promptly at the new location.
Sometimes plans change quickly. When availability allows, we offer same-day or short-notice removal services in Crayford. The more information you can provide at enquiry stage, the better we can adapt vehicles and staffing at short notice.
Costs depend mainly on volume, distance, access and whether you need packing or other extras. Smaller flat moves within Crayford are typically charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, while larger house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote following a survey. We always provide a written estimate outlining exactly what is included so you can compare like-for-like. There are no hidden charges; any potential additional costs, such as parking fees or waiting time, are explained in advance.
Yes, when our schedule allows we can arrange same-day or short-notice removals in Crayford and nearby areas. Availability depends on the size of the move and how many vehicles and staff are already committed, so it is best to phone as early as possible. For urgent moves we may ask for photos or a quick video tour to assess what is needed. While we will always do our best to help, booking ahead gives you more choice of dates and times.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items while they are in our vehicles and being handled by our team, as well as public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. There are standard terms, limits and exclusions, particularly for very high-value or fragile items, which we are happy to discuss in detail before you book. We recommend you also check your home or business insurance policies, as these can sometimes provide additional peace of mind for specific valuables.
A typical removal service includes loading all agreed items from your property, safe transport in our removal vehicle and unloading into the rooms you specify at your new address. We provide basic protection such as blankets and straps as standard. Optional extras include full or part packing services, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and removal of certain unwanted items. Everything included in your particular move will be clearly listed on your written quotation and booking confirmation.
While a simple man-and-van may suit very small, low-risk moves, a professional removal service offers more structure and protection. You benefit from trained staff, proper insurance, planned surveys, written quotes and reliable scheduling. Vehicles are equipped with blankets, straps and tools specifically for moving furniture safely. We also provide support with packing, dismantling and placement at the new property. For most home and business moves, these factors significantly reduce the risk of damage, delays or unexpected problems on move day.
For most moves, booking two to four weeks in advance is ideal, especially if you are tied to a particular completion date or need to move on a Friday or at month end. This gives us time to carry out a survey, plan the job properly and reserve the right size vehicle and team. That said, we understand that dates can change, so we always try to be flexible where possible. If your move is last-minute, still contact us – we may have availability or be able to suggest alternatives.
At Man and Van Crayford we provide secure, flexible storage solutions for households and businesses across Crayford and the surrounding areas. As an experienced local removals and storage company, we understand how important it is to keep your belongings safe, accessible and properly protected for as long as you need.
Our storage service is designed to work hand-in-hand with our removals and man and van services. Whether you need short-term storage for a few days during a move, or long-term storage for surplus stock or furniture, we offer a straightforward, fully managed option.
We collect your items, professionally wrap and protect them, transport them to our secure storage facility, and return them when you are ready. All goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while being moved and stored, and our teams are trained, experienced and professional.
Based in Crayford, we know the local streets, estates and business parks inside out. This local knowledge means:
We regularly work with customers in Crayford town centre, residential developments, industrial estates and business parks, so we understand the day-to-day realities of moving and storing items in the area.
Perfect if you are in a property chain, renovating, downsizing, or simply decluttering prior to selling. We can store furniture, white goods, boxes, garden items and more while you get your home in order.
If you are between tenancies, moving into temporary accommodation or heading abroad for a while, our storage gives you a safe place for everything that will not fit into your current rental.
We help landlords store furniture and appliances during refurbishments, between tenancies or while converting properties. We can also collect and store items from multiple properties.
Local businesses use our storage for surplus office furniture, archived files, seasonal stock and exhibition materials. We offer flexible access and can arrange regular collections and deliveries as needed.
Students moving in and out of halls or shared houses can store belongings over the summer or during a gap year. We offer smaller storage options ideal for boxes, suitcases and small furniture.
Our storage solutions are suitable for most household and office contents, including:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some exclusions. We cannot store:
If you are unsure whether an item is suitable for storage, we will happily advise before collection.
Contact us with a rough list of what you need to store and your timeframes. We will ask a few simple questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.
For larger loads or longer-term storage, we may recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, estimate volume accurately and plan the right vehicle and team size. It also helps us to give you the most cost-effective storage solution.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service. Our team protects furniture with wraps and blankets, and we can supply boxes, tape and protective materials if needed. Everything is labelled clearly for easy retrieval.
On collection day, our trained movers carefully load your items, using proper lifting techniques and protective equipment. Goods are then transported in our fully equipped vehicles under goods in transit insurance to our secure storage facility.
At the facility, your items are unloaded into a designated storage area or container. We stack and position items safely, protecting delicate pieces and ensuring that anything you may need access to can be reached when required.
When you are ready, simply contact us to arrange redelivery. We will bring your items back to your new home, office or other address, unload and place them in the rooms you specify.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Your storage costs will usually consist of:
We will discuss any optional extras such as professional packing, materials or additional insurance cover for particularly high-value items. All charges are explained in plain language before you decide to go ahead.
Using a professional removals and storage company offers several advantages over hiring a van and using a casual lock-up:
In many cases, once you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work and potential damage, a professional service is better value than DIY.
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. That is why we maintain robust protection and high standards:
We treat every item with care, from everyday furniture to sentimental possessions. If you have specific requirements for high-value or delicate pieces, we will discuss appropriate packing and insurance options.
We focus on careful handling and responsible working practices:
Where possible, we encourage clients to re-use or recycle packing materials, and we can take away unwanted cardboard for recycling at the end of a job.
Completion dates do not always line up. We regularly help Crayford residents who need their contents moved out of one property, stored for a few days or weeks, and then delivered to their new home once the keys are available.
Businesses often need temporary storage during office moves or refurbishments. We can remove and store desks, seating, filing and equipment, then return it once the new layout is ready, helping to reduce disruption.
Sometimes circumstances change quickly – a sale goes through faster than expected, or a tenancy ends suddenly. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day collection and storage to help you manage unexpected changes.
Storage costs depend on three main factors: how much space you need, how long you need it for, and whether you require collection and redelivery. We usually price storage by volume, so you do not pay for unused space. After a quick conversation or survey, we will give you a clear quote covering collection, weekly or monthly storage, and return delivery. There are no hidden charges, and we will explain any optional extras such as packing or materials before you decide.
Where our schedule and storage capacity allow, we can often arrange same-day or next-day collection and storage in Crayford. Urgent moves are common with last-minute tenancy changes or rapid property completions, and we are used to working to tight timeframes. The more information you can provide when you call – such as the size of the job and access details – the easier it is for us to confirm availability and give an accurate cost. If same-day is not possible, we will offer the earliest alternative.
Yes. Your items are protected by goods in transit insurance while we move them, and we maintain appropriate cover for items in our care while stored. This sits alongside our public liability cover for work at your property. We will explain the key terms, including any limits or exclusions, before you book. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we recommend discussing them with us so we can confirm cover levels and, if necessary, suggest additional insurance for complete peace of mind.
Our standard storage service includes collection by a professional team, protective wrapping of furniture, transport to our secure facility, safe stacking and storage, and redelivery when you are ready. We provide the vehicles, equipment and labour required for normal household and office items. Optional extras include full or part packing services, packing materials and special protection for delicate items. We will tailor the service to your needs, so you only pay for what you actually require, and everything will be itemised in your quote.
Unlike a basic man-and-van, we offer a fully managed service with trained staff, proper protective materials and fully insured vehicles and storage. We assess access, plan the job and handle the heavy lifting for you, reducing the risk of damage or injury. With DIY storage you often have to hire a van, move everything yourself, and sort out your own insurance and security. With us, you deal with a single, accountable company that manages the whole process from door to store and back again.
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 school holidays. However, we understand that storage needs can arise unexpectedly, so we always do our best to accommodate short-notice and urgent requests. Even if your dates are not confirmed, it is worth getting in touch early so we can advise, provide a provisional quote and pencil in options that suit your likely timeframe.
At Man and Van Crayford we provide a dedicated packing and boxes service designed to make your move smoother, safer, and far less stressful. With years of hands-on experience in Crayford and the surrounding areas, we know how to protect your belongings properly and prepare everything for a straightforward moving day.
Our packing service is built around one simple aim: pack your belongings as if they were our own. We use strong, double-walled boxes, quality tape and protective materials to keep everything safe in transit – from everyday kitchen items to delicate heirlooms.
Whether you need a few boxes and help with fragile items, or a full pack-and-move service, we can tailor our support to suit you. All work is carried out by trained, experienced packers who understand how to prepare items for transport in real-world UK conditions – stairs, tight hallways, lifts and awkward parking included.
Working day in, day out in Crayford means we understand local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts. That local knowledge helps us:
Because we know the area well, we can often offer flexible and short-notice packing for Crayford homes and businesses.
If you are selling or buying in Crayford, our full or partial packing service takes the pressure off moving week. We protect furniture, ornaments, books, fragile glassware and more, so you can focus on the legal and practical side of your move.
For tenants moving between rented properties, time is often tight. We can pack the day before or on moving day, provide all boxes, and help ensure you leave the property tidy and undamaged for your check-out inspection.
Landlords in Crayford use our service to clear or re-pack properties between tenancies. We can pack up left items, prepare furniture for storage, and label boxes clearly for inventory purposes.
Office and commercial moves demand organised packing. We supply office packing solutions including archive boxes, IT and monitor protection, and clearly labelled crates so your team can get back to work quickly after the move.
Student moves, especially between terms or from halls to shared houses, benefit from compact and efficient packing. We offer smaller packages with the right number of boxes, plus help with packing books, clothes, laptops and personal items.
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, we usually cannot pack:
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will happily advise during the survey stage.
Contact Man and Van Crayford by phone or online with your basic details: property size, key dates, and whether you need full or partial packing. We will provide an initial transparent estimate, outlining what is included and any options for materials and extra services.
To give an accurate quote and plan the right number of boxes and materials, we carry out a survey. This can be virtual (video call and photos) or an onsite visit in Crayford. We assess item volumes, access issues, fragile pieces and any special requirements.
On the agreed day, our professional packers arrive with all materials. We:
We can provide pack-only services, or combine packing with our removals and transport.
If you choose our full service, our removals team loads the packed boxes and furniture onto our vehicles. Everything is stacked and secured to minimise movement. We then transport your belongings to your new Crayford address or further afield, depending on your move.
On arrival, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing boxes according to their labels. If agreed in advance, we can assist with basic reassembly of furniture and unpacking key essentials to help you settle in faster.
We price our packing and boxes service based on:
Your quote will clearly separate labour and materials so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges (for example, out-of-hours work or extra packing requested on the day) will be discussed openly.
Many people start packing themselves and quickly find it more time-consuming and physically demanding than expected. Professional packing brings several advantages:
Compared with a casual man-and-van, our packing service is planned, documented and fully insured, giving you greater peace of mind.
As an established removals company in Crayford, we operate to strict professional standards. We hold:
We will explain how our cover applies to your move and what conditions (such as pre-existing damage or owner-packed boxes) may affect claims, so everything is clear from the start.
We take care not just of your belongings, but of your property and the environment:
Where practical, we choose materials that balance protection with reduced waste, and we minimise unnecessary trips to cut emissions linked to your move.
From terraces and maisonettes to larger family homes, we regularly handle complete household packing. We can schedule packing for the day before completion so you stay functional for as long as possible.
For local businesses, we offer organised packing outside your core working hours. We label by department and desk to reduce disruption and speed up set-up in your new premises.
Sometimes moves happen faster than planned – a quick completion date, a change of tenancy, or urgent circumstances. Where availability allows, we can provide same-week or even same-day packing and boxes within Crayford.
The cost depends mainly on the volume of items, the level of service, and property access. A small flat needing partial packing will cost less than a full-family home requiring a complete pack. We price labour and materials separately, so you can see how many boxes and how much packing time are included. During your survey we assess your requirements and provide a fixed, written quotation with no hidden extras, as long as the job specification remains the same.
Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice packing in Crayford, particularly for smaller properties or part-pack jobs. It is always best to call us as soon as you know your dates so we can check vehicle and crew availability. For very urgent work we may suggest a team focused on key areas first – such as kitchen and fragile items – with further packing later if required. We will always be honest about what is realistically achievable in the time.
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance that covers your belongings while they are in our vehicles, and public liability cover for work at your property. Items we have professionally packed are generally better protected in the event of a claim, because we control the materials and methods used. We will explain any exclusions, such as owner-packed boxes, prohibited items or pre-existing damage, so you know exactly how our insurance applies to your move before we start.
Our standard service includes supply of agreed packing materials, professional packers, careful packing of selected rooms or the whole property, and clear labelling of boxes. We can also dismantle straightforward furniture and prepare items for loading. If you book removals with us as well, loading, transport and unloading at your new address are covered. Optional extras can include unpacking, reassembly and post-move box collection. Your written quote will set out precisely what is and is not included for your particular move.
A casual man-and-van typically provides transport and lifting only, often with limited or no insurance and no formal packing support. Our service is a professional removals operation: trained teams, quality materials, structured packing, documented quotes and full insurance. We plan each job properly, conduct surveys where needed, and use proven techniques to protect your belongings and property. This reduces the risks of damage, delays and unexpected extra costs, giving you a more reliable and predictable moving experience.
Ideally, book as soon as you have a likely moving window or confirmed completion date. For most Crayford moves, one to three weeks’ notice allows us to schedule surveys, order materials and allocate the right size crew. Peak times – such as month-ends and Fridays – can book up earlier, so more notice is always helpful. That said, we regularly handle late bookings and will always try to accommodate you where our diary allows. It is always worth asking.
At Man and Van Crayford, we provide organised, low‑disruption office removals throughout Crayford and the surrounding areas. As a local, experienced operator, we understand that business moves need to be efficient, secure and carefully planned so your team can get back to work quickly.
Our office removals service is built around minimising downtime and protecting your business assets. From small start‑up spaces to multi‑floor offices, we handle everything from workstations and filing cabinets to IT equipment and archives. Every move is supervised by a trained, professional team leader who ensures your schedule, building rules and security requirements are followed precisely.
Our Crayford office removals are suitable for:
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing, consolidating locations or setting up a new branch, we tailor our service around your operational needs.
For safety and legal reasons, we do not transport:
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise you during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.
Once you contact Man and Van Crayford, we discuss your current office, new location, access issues, timings and any building restrictions. We then provide a clear, no‑obligation quote outlining what is included so you know exactly what to expect.
For most office moves we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volume, parking, lift access, stair use and any special handling needs (for example server racks or safes). Accurate surveys help us allocate the right size vehicle, number of movers and packing materials, keeping your costs fair and predictable.
We can provide a full packing service or supply materials if your staff are doing their own boxing. When we pack, each workstation and department is clearly labelled for easy set‑up at the new office. IT equipment is wrapped with antistatic and padded protection. Floors, doors and lifts are protected with covers where needed to comply with building management rules.
On move day, our trained team arrives on time, introduces themselves to your key contact and follows the agreed plan. Furniture is dismantled where necessary, wrapped and securely stacked in the vehicle. All goods are transported in modern, well‑maintained vans with goods in transit insurance for added peace of mind.
At your new premises we unload systematically, placing furniture, crates and IT equipment into the correct rooms or zones. We reassemble desks and standard office furniture as agreed, helping you get workspaces operational faster. Before leaving, we check that everything is where it should be and remove our packing debris.
We believe in clear, sensible pricing. Our quotes typically consider:
You will receive a written breakdown with no hidden extras, so you can budget confidently and compare like for like with other providers.
Moving an office is very different from a simple van hire. Professional office removals help you:
Compared with a casual man‑and‑van, we offer structured planning, fully insured moves, documented quotes and professional standards throughout.
Man and Van Crayford operates with comprehensive cover and trained personnel:
We follow sensible lifting practices, use the correct equipment and work respectfully within your business environment so you can trust us with both your assets and your reputation.
We treat your items as if they were our own. Equipment is wrapped, strapped and padded; furniture is protected to prevent scuffs; and walkways are kept tidy to reduce risk. Where possible we use reusable crates, blankets and durable packing materials to reduce waste. Cardboard and plastics are recycled whenever practical, helping to keep your Crayford office move as environmentally responsible as possible.
Costs vary depending on the size of your office, volume of items, access, distance and whether you require packing or out‑of‑hours work. Smaller offices may be charged on a set hourly rate, while larger moves are usually priced as a fixed quote after a survey. We always provide a written estimate detailing what is included so you can budget accurately. To get a realistic figure, it is best to contact us with basic details of your current and new offices.
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same‑day or short‑notice office removals in and around Crayford. Availability will depend on the size of your move, required team numbers and time of year. If you have an urgent situation, contact us as early as possible and we will tell you honestly what can be achieved. Even on short notice, we still follow a structured approach to protect your items and keep disruption to a minimum.
Yes. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care, and we carry public liability cover for work on your premises. This is designed to give you peace of mind beyond what you would usually have with DIY moves or informal transport. We will explain the key terms and any limits before you book, and you are welcome to ask about specific high‑value items or particular concerns.
Our standard service covers loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, equipment and boxes between the agreed addresses. We can also provide packing materials, full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of standard office furniture, and evening or weekend moves to reduce disruption. During your enquiry, we will agree exactly what is included in your quote so that move day runs smoothly and everyone knows their responsibilities.
A basic man‑and‑van typically offers transport and lifting only, often without detailed planning, formal insurance or business‑grade standards. Our professional office removals service includes proper surveys, written quotes, fully insured cover, trained staff and a structured process. We coordinate with your building management, IT team and key staff to avoid unnecessary downtime. For businesses, this higher level of organisation and protection usually saves time, reduces risk and supports a smoother transition.
For most office removals we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or weekend slot. Larger or more complex moves may require more notice so that surveys, packing and building permissions can be arranged. That said, we understand that business situations change, and we will always do our best to accommodate shorter timescales. The sooner you get in touch, the more options we can offer.
At Man and Van Crayford, our man with a van service is designed for fast, safe and straightforward moves in and around Crayford. Whether you are moving a single item across town or a small flat to the other side of London, you get a professional, fully insured team who handle your belongings with care.
Unlike casual man-and-van operators, we run a proper removals operation with trained staff, modern vehicles and clear communication from start to finish.
We move people and businesses every day in Crayford, Dartford, Bexleyheath and the wider Kent and South East London area. Because we know the local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts, we can plan your move around traffic, narrow streets and access issues.
From Crayford station apartments to terraced streets and business parks, we use our local knowledge to keep your move efficient and on time.
Ideal for smaller house moves, part-loads, furniture collections and garage or shed clearances. We can move items between rooms, to storage, or to a new property.
Perfect for flat moves, house shares and short-term lets. We regularly help tenants move between rented properties, handling stairs, lifts and tight access safely.
We assist landlords with furniture removals, end-of-tenancy clearances and delivering or collecting large items such as beds, wardrobes and white goods.
Small offices, shops and tradespeople use our man with a van service for office moves, stock transfers, events, exhibitions and regular deliveries.
Students moving to or from halls, shared houses or storage units benefit from a cost-effective, small-move service with one or two movers and a well-equipped van.
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, our fully insured teams cannot transport:
If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask when you enquire and we will advise.
Contact us with your collection and delivery addresses, a list of items, preferred dates and any access details. We will give you a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you provide – either hourly rate or a fixed price, depending on the job.
For simple jobs, photos or a video call are often enough. For larger or more complex moves, we may suggest an onsite visit. This helps us confirm access, parking, number of flights of stairs and any special handling needs so we can send the right size van and team.
You can pack your own belongings, or we can provide packing services and materials at an additional cost. Either way, we advise that boxes are well filled, sealed and labelled. We ask that appliances are disconnected and emptied before we arrive.
On moving day, our trained team will protect your items with blankets, straps and covers where needed. We load the van carefully to prevent movement in transit, then transport everything directly to your new address via the most efficient route.
At your destination, we unload everything into the rooms you specify. We can position furniture, reassemble basic items we dismantled, and take away used protective materials. Before we leave, we always check that you are happy with the placement of your items.
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:
You will know in advance whether your move is priced hourly or as a fixed quote. Parking charges, tolls or congestion charges are always explained clearly. You only pay for the service you actually need.
Hiring a professional removals company for a smaller move saves time, reduces risk and protects your belongings. With DIY, you face the hassle of hiring a van, lifting heavy items without the right equipment and worrying about damage or injury. Casual man-and-van operators may not be fully insured or properly trained.
With our service, you get experienced movers, correct lifting techniques, specialist equipment, and proper insurance cover, all coordinated by a team used to handling moves of every size.
Every move with Man and Van Crayford is backed by appropriate insurance and a strong focus on professionalism:
We treat your belongings with the same care we would give our own, and we work to recognised industry standards at all times.
Looking after your belongings is at the heart of what we do. We use padded blankets, straps and protective covers for furniture and mattresses, and we plan safe carrying routes through your property to avoid knocks and scrapes.
We also consider our environmental impact. Where possible, we reuse durable packing materials, choose fuel-efficient routes and combine journeys sensibly. If you would like to donate or recycle unwanted items, we can advise on local options and, in some cases, assist with delivery.
Ideal for smaller properties, partial moves or bridging the gap between completion dates. We regularly help people move within Crayford or to nearby towns at short notice.
From single offices to small commercial units, we move desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment with minimal disruption to your trading day, including out-of-hours moves.
When plans change quickly, our fleet and local teams often allow for same-day or next-day bookings. We will always be honest about availability and realistic timings.
Purchased something too big for your car? We collect from furniture stores, DIY outlets and storage units, delivering straight to your home or business and carrying items into place.
Pricing depends on the size of van, number of movers, distance and the time required. Smaller local jobs are often charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger or more complex moves may be quoted as a fixed price. To keep costs down, have your items packed and ready, and provide a clear list of what needs moving. We will always give you a clear, written quote before you commit, so you know exactly what to expect.
Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Crayford and the surrounding areas, depending on vehicle and crew availability. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early in the day as possible with your details and we will let you know what we can realistically do. We will never promise timings we cannot meet, and we will always prioritise safety and proper handling of your belongings, even when working to tight schedules.
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and our public liability cover protects against damage to property while we are working on site. There are standard exclusions, such as valuables, cash and certain fragile items unless declared and appropriately packed. We are happy to explain the cover in plain language before you book, so you know exactly what is and is not included for your particular move.
Our standard service includes a suitable van, one or more professional movers, loading, secure transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We provide blankets, straps and basic protective materials for furniture. Optional extras, such as packing services, supply of boxes, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, or multiple pick-up and drop-off points, can be added to your quote. Before confirming the booking, we will run through exactly what is included so there are no surprises on the day.
Many casual man-and-van operators are simply a driver with a van, often without formal training or insurance. We operate as a professional removals company: our teams are trained, our vehicles are properly equipped, and we hold goods in transit and public liability insurance. We also carry out surveys where needed, provide written quotes and confirm bookings in advance. This means a more reliable, safer and better organised move, with clear communication throughout.
For weekend moves and busy times of year, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred slot. For weekday or smaller local jobs, we can often accommodate bookings with just a few days' notice, and sometimes on the same day. The sooner you contact us with your dates and details, the more options we can offer. Even if your plans are not final, it is worth getting in touch so we can pencil you in and advise on availability.
At Man and Van Crayford, we provide a reliable, well-organised removals service for homes and businesses across Crayford and the surrounding areas. As a local removals company, we combine practical experience, careful handling and clear communication to make moving day as straightforward as possible.
We offer a full range of removals services to suit different types of moves and budgets. Whether you are moving a small flat, a large family home, or a busy office, our professional team plans and carries out every stage of your move with care.
Our core removals services include:
Every move is handled by a trained, fully insured crew using the right equipment, protective materials and vehicles for your property and access.
As a Crayford-based removals company, we know the local roads, estates and access points extremely well. This local knowledge allows us to plan efficient routes, avoid bottlenecks and anticipate parking or access issues that can slow a move down.
We regularly support customers moving within Crayford or between Crayford and nearby areas such as Bexleyheath, Dartford, Erith, Sidcup and beyond. We liaise with you about parking, loading zones and timing so that everything runs smoothly on the day.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating for work, our house removals service is designed to protect your belongings and your property. We use floor protection, door covers and furniture blankets to prevent damage, and we label items clearly for easy unloading at your new home.
We understand the time pressures and checkout requirements for rented properties. We work efficiently and carefully so you can focus on cleaning and key handover, minimising the risk of deductions from your deposit due to damage or delays.
Landlords often need a reliable removals partner for clearing properties between tenancies, handling part-furnished removals or moving stored furniture. We can provide professional, itemised removals and disposal where requested, with clear documentation of what has been removed.
For businesses in Crayford, we provide structured office and commercial moves. We can move desks, IT equipment, stock and archive materials with minimal disruption to your operations. Weekend or out-of-hours moves can be arranged to keep downtime to a minimum.
Students moving into halls or shared houses benefit from an efficient, budget-conscious service. We can transport boxed belongings, bikes, small furniture and electronics safely between term-time and home addresses.
If you are unsure about a specific item, we will clarify during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.
You contact us with details of your move: locations, property type, approximate volume of items and your preferred moving date. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us, explaining what is included and any options available.
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit. We assess access, parking, staircases, lifts, and the volume and type of items to be moved. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle size, number of movers and equipment, and to confirm a realistic timescale.
You can choose between doing your own packing or using our professional packing service. If we are packing, we bring quality boxes, wrapping materials and tape. Fragile items are individually wrapped, and boxes are clearly labelled by room. We can also dismantle beds, wardrobes and larger furniture where necessary.
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time and talks you through the plan. We protect floors and doorways, then load your belongings in an organised, secure manner, using blankets, straps and trolleys. Once loaded, we transport your items directly to your new address using suitable, well-maintained vehicles.
At the new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. Furniture is placed in position, and any items we dismantled are reassembled. We work with you to ensure boxes are placed where they will be easiest to unpack, reducing the stress of settling in.
We believe in straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
Before you confirm your booking, we provide a written breakdown covering what is included, any optional extras and how overtime or delays are charged if they arise. There are no hidden extras added on the day – if circumstances change, we discuss any cost implications with you first.
Moving yourself or relying on a casual man-and-van may seem cheaper, but it can quickly become more expensive if items are damaged or people are injured. A professional removals company provides:
With us, you are not just hiring a van; you are hiring a team that manages the move from start to finish, reducing physical strain and stress on you and your family or staff.
Man and Van Crayford operates to recognised industry standards. We are fully committed to protecting your belongings and your property:
We will happily explain our cover levels and any conditions so you know exactly how you are protected.
Your belongings are handled as if they were our own. We use padded blankets, mattress covers, TV protectors and other materials to prevent knocks and scrapes. Floors and banisters are covered where needed, and we load vehicles in a way that minimises movement in transit.
We also take a practical approach to sustainability. Where possible, we reuse strong cartons and protective materials, and we encourage customers to keep boxes for future use rather than discarding them. We plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.
From small starter homes to larger family houses, we manage the entire process around your moving date and any completion deadlines. We coordinate timings with you, your agents and, where needed, other parties in the chain to keep disruption to a minimum.
For offices, we plan around your trading hours, ensuring that key equipment and documents are moved and set up in the right order. Desks and chairs are labelled and reassembled, and boxed files and stock are kept organised so your team can get back to work quickly.
Sometimes moves arise unexpectedly – due to a change of completion date, tenancy deadlines or other circumstances. Subject to availability, we can often provide short-notice or same-day removals in and around Crayford. We prioritise clear communication so you know what can realistically be achieved within the time available.
The cost of a removal in Crayford depends mainly on the volume of items, the distance between properties, access conditions and whether you need packing services. A small local flat move may be charged on a half-day or hourly basis, while larger house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote following a survey. We provide a detailed written estimate before you book, so you know exactly what is included and how any additional time or services would be charged.
We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice removals in Crayford, depending on our schedule and the size of the move. Smaller moves and student relocations are usually easier to arrange at short notice, while larger house or office moves may require more planning. If you have an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with full details. We will confirm availability, provide a clear cost structure and explain what can be realistically achieved within the time frame.
Our service includes goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are being moved, subject to policy terms and any declared values. We also carry public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to third-party property or injury during the move. During the quotation and survey stage, we explain the scope of cover, any exclusions and any steps you may need to take for particularly high-value items. If you require additional cover beyond our standard policy, we can advise you on suitable options.
Our standard removals service includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained removals crew, loading and unloading, basic furniture protection and placement of items in the rooms you specify. We can also dismantle and reassemble common furniture items by arrangement. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of packing materials, specialist handling for items such as pianos, and short-term storage if needed. All inclusions and optional services are listed clearly in your written quote before you decide to go ahead.
A casual man-and-van typically provides transport and basic labour, but may not offer the planning, protection, insurance and reliability of a professional removals company. With Man and Van Crayford, you receive a structured service: surveys, written quotes, trained staff, appropriate equipment, goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. We focus on careful handling, property protection and clear communication, reducing the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs that can occur with informal services.
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, ideally two to four weeks in advance for larger house or office moves. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change at short notice, so we always try to be flexible. If your move is urgent or your date is not yet fixed, contact us to discuss options and provisional bookings so we can plan around your likely timeframe.
At Man and Van Crayford, we provide straightforward, reliable removals for households and businesses across Crayford and the surrounding areas. As a local, owner-operated company, we combine practical experience, well-trained teams and the right equipment to move your belongings safely, on time and with minimum disruption.
Our removals service is designed for anyone who wants a calm, well-organised move handled by professional, fully insured movers. Whether you are moving one street away or across the UK, we plan every stage carefully, protect your property and communicate clearly from first enquiry to final placement of furniture.
Unlike casual man-and-van services, we carry full goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and use trained, uniformed staff who move people every day, not just at weekends.
Working in Crayford day in, day out means we understand local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts. From tight terraces and flats near the station to larger homes and business premises around the industrial estates, we know how to plan access, loading and parking to keep your move running smoothly.
We can also liaise with local agents, building managers and concierge teams where needed, and advise on the best times of day to move to avoid traffic pinch points around Crayford and neighbouring areas.
If you are selling or buying in Crayford, we can handle full house moves, part moves and downsizing. We take extra care with furniture, appliances, artwork and sentimental items, and we can provide packing materials or a complete packing service for a simpler move.
For tenants moving between flats or houses, we offer flexible dates and time slots, including evenings and weekends. We understand the importance of protecting walls, floors and doorways, helping you leave the property in good condition for check-out.
Landlords and letting agents use our removals service for clearing properties between tenancies, relocating furniture and setting up or stripping out furnished lets. We can remove unwanted items, rearrange existing furniture, and work to tight turnaround times between tenants.
We support offices, shops and small industrial units with planned relocations and internal moves. From desks and filing cabinets to IT equipment and stock, we label, protect and relocate items with minimal downtime. Out-of-hours and weekend office moves are available on request.
Students moving to or from Crayford benefit from a cost-effective service tailored to smaller loads. We can move belongings between halls, shared houses and family homes, including term-time storage moves where required.
We can move almost everything you would reasonably expect in a home or small-business relocation, including:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we are unable to carry:
If you are unsure whether an item can be moved, we will advise during your enquiry or survey.
You contact us by phone or online with basic details: addresses, property type, access, preferred dates and a rough list of items. We discuss your needs, highlight any likely access issues and provide an initial estimate. For straightforward smaller moves, we can often confirm a fixed price at this stage.
For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a virtual or in-person survey. This allows us to confirm inventory, check parking and access (stairs, lifts, long walks) and identify any special-care items. The survey ensures the right size vehicle, the correct number of trained movers and realistic timings on the day.
We offer two options:
Before move day we confirm arrival time, vehicle details and any last-minute instructions.
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the property with you and confirms what is going. We use padded blankets, furniture wraps, mattress protectors and securing straps to protect your possessions and the property. Items are loaded in a logical order for safe transport and organised unloading. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while on our vehicles.
At the new address, we unload carefully, placing furniture and boxes in the rooms you indicate. We can assemble basic items that were dismantled by us, such as bed frames, and will not leave until you are satisfied that everything has been unloaded and placed where requested.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:
All costs are explained before you book. Any potential additional charges (such as waiting time caused by delayed key release) are outlined in advance so you know exactly where you stand.
Hiring a professional removals team saves time, reduces stress and lowers the risk of damage or injury. We bring the right vehicle, equipment and manpower so you do not have to organise multiple trips or rely on friends and family. Heavy and awkward items are moved safely by trained staff using proper lifting techniques and protective equipment.
In contrast, DIY or casual man-and-van options often lack insurance, do not protect items properly and may not turn up on time. With a professional service, your move is planned, documented and backed by formal goods in transit and public liability cover.
As a responsible removals company, we operate to recognised industry standards and carry appropriate cover, including:
We provide written confirmation of cover on request and are happy to discuss any specific concerns you may have about high-value items.
We treat every move as if it were our own property. Floors, banisters and doors are protected where needed, and items are wrapped and secured to minimise the risk of damage. We encourage reuse of cartons and use recyclable materials where practical.
Where clients are clearing out unwanted items, we aim to divert as much as possible from landfill by taking suitable goods to local recycling centres or charity partners, subject to prior arrangement.
The cost of a removal in Crayford depends mainly on the volume of items, access conditions and distance between properties. Smaller flat moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full house and office relocations are usually priced as a fixed quote after a short survey. Optional services such as packing, supply of boxes and dismantling/reassembly also affect the total. We always explain how your price is calculated and provide a clear written quote before you commit to a booking.
Where our schedule allows, we can take on same-day or short-notice moves in and around Crayford. Urgent moves are usually best suited to smaller properties or part-loads, as we need to ensure we have the right size vehicle and team available. If you have a last-minute completion date or an unexpected situation such as a tenancy ending early, contact us as soon as possible. We will be honest about availability and offer practical alternatives if we are already fully booked.
Yes. Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are on our vehicles and under our control. We also carry public liability insurance to cover accidental damage to property or injury in the course of our work. Our team handles items carefully and uses protective equipment to minimise risk. We can explain the key terms of our cover, including any single-item limits or exclusions, before you book so you can decide whether to arrange additional insurance for particularly high-value pieces.
Our standard removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture, boxes and agreed items, plus basic protection such as blankets, straps and covers. We place items into designated rooms at the new address and can reassemble straightforward furniture that we dismantled. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of cartons and materials, and disposal of agreed unwanted items. We do not normally disconnect or reconnect appliances or handle hazardous materials, but we will always clarify inclusions and exclusions in your written quote.
A professional removals company offers structured planning, trained staff and proper insurance. We carry out surveys where needed, allocate the right vehicle and crew, protect your belongings and property, and provide written quotes and confirmations. Casual man-and-van operators may work cheaply, but often lack adequate insurance, reliable vehicles and experience with complex moves. With a professional service, you have clear communication, predictable timings and a responsible point of contact if anything goes wrong, which significantly reduces risk and stress.
For a smooth move, we recommend booking as soon as you have a likely date, especially for Fridays, month-ends and peak moving periods. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal for larger house and office moves, as it allows time for surveys, parking arrangements and preparation. However, we understand that dates can change, particularly with property chains, so we try to be flexible where possible. If you are moving at short notice, contact us and we will do our best to accommodate you.
