At Man and Van Coulsdon, we provide reliable, carefully planned furniture removals across Coulsdon and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving homes and businesses locally and across the UK, we know how to handle everything from a single sofa to a full house of furniture, safely and efficiently.
Our furniture removals service is designed for anyone who needs their furniture moved securely and on time, without stress. We supply a professional, well-organised team, suitable vehicles, and all the protective materials required to keep your items safe door-to-door.
Whether you are moving within Coulsdon, relocating further afield, or simply rearranging bulky items between properties, we manage the full process – from initial planning through to careful placement in your new space.
Moving to a new house in or out of Coulsdon? We handle complete household furniture moves, including large wardrobes, beds, dining sets and delicate pieces, ensuring minimal disruption to your move day.
Whether you are leaving a flat, studio or shared house, we provide cost-effective options for smaller-scale moves, with flexible loading and unloading to suit tight staircases, lifts and parking restrictions common in rental properties.
We assist landlords with furnished and part-furnished property moves, including clearing or installing furniture between tenancies, removing damaged items, and repositioning furniture for new layouts and lettings.
Offices, shops and small businesses in Coulsdon rely on us for office furniture removals, including desks, filing cabinets, stockroom shelving, reception furniture and meeting-room setups. We work to your schedule to minimise downtime.
Students moving in or out of the Coulsdon area can use our small-move service for beds, desks, chairs and personal furniture, with practical time slots that fit around term times and accommodation deadlines.
To keep you and our team safe, some items are usually excluded from standard furniture removals:
If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise you clearly during the survey so there are no surprises on move day.
It starts with a quick enquiry by phone or online. You tell us what furniture you need to move, your addresses in and around Coulsdon, dates, access issues and any special requirements. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining what is included so you can make an informed decision.
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volumes, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any awkward or heavy items. A short video call or visit helps us choose the right vehicle, tools and team size, which prevents delays and extra costs later.
On the day, or in advance where arranged, we protect your furniture using blankets, wraps and covers. We can also provide a full or part packing service for smaller items, or supply boxes and materials if you prefer to pack yourself. Larger items can be dismantled where necessary and reassembled at the new address by our trained team.
Our trained movers load your furniture systematically, using straps and protective padding to secure items in transit. Vehicles are chosen to suit Coulsdon’s roads and access, and we plan routes carefully to avoid unnecessary delays. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while they are with us.
At the new property, we unload items in the order that makes most sense for you. Furniture is placed in the rooms you specify, and reassembled where agreed. We aim to leave you with your main furniture ready to use, not just dropped at the door.
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:
We can price either on a fixed-job basis or, for smaller or flexible moves, an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. All charges, including any congestion or parking charges where applicable, are explained clearly in advance.
Hiring a professional furniture removals team like Man and Van Coulsdon offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:
We operate to clear, professional standards for every move in Coulsdon:
Full details of cover and any limits or exclusions are available on request, and we are happy to discuss any specific concerns you may have.
We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped in transit blankets, shrink-wrap or mattress covers where appropriate, and we use floor and door protection in properties that need extra care.
We also aim to work sustainably where possible. Reusable protection materials are used instead of excessive single-use plastics, routes are planned efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage, and we can often coordinate collections and deliveries in and around Coulsdon to reduce empty runs.
Families and individuals moving between properties rely on us for full household furniture removals. We coordinate timings with your key collection, manage access and ensure essential items like beds and sofas are prioritised so you can settle in quickly.
For business moves, we can relocate desks, chairs, storage and meeting-room furniture, often outside office hours or at weekends to minimise disruption. We work with your IT or facilities team so that furniture and equipment are in the right place from the outset.
Sometimes moves are unplanned – last-minute tenancy changes, urgent clearances or immediate office changes. Where we have capacity, we provide same-day or short-notice furniture removals within Coulsdon and surrounding areas, always keeping safety and care standards high even when time is tight.
The cost depends mainly on how much furniture you have, the distance between addresses, access conditions and whether you need extra services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Once we know the details, we provide a clear written estimate with all charges explained, so you can budget confidently with no hidden extras on the day.
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent furniture removals in Coulsdon, depending on vehicle and crew availability. If you need a short-notice move, call us as early as possible with your details. We will confirm what we can realistically achieve, agree a time window, and outline any constraints. Even on urgent jobs we still use proper protection and follow safe working practices, but availability is limited at busy times, so advance booking is always recommended where possible.
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved in our vehicles, and we also carry public liability cover for work at your property. Insurance is there for peace of mind, but our first priority is to prevent damage through proper wrapping, handling and loading. We will explain key policy terms, such as any single-item limits or items that require prior declaration, so you understand exactly how your belongings are protected.
A standard service normally includes supplying the vehicle, a trained team, basic protective materials, careful loading, transport from your Coulsdon address to the new property, and unloading with placement of items in the rooms you specify. Optional extras can include packing of smaller items, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, storage, and removal of unwanted furniture. Everything that is and is not included will be set out clearly in your quote so expectations are matched on both sides.
While the term "man and van" is widely used, our service is run as a professional removals operation. That means trained staff, insurance cover, proper equipment, planned routes, written confirmations and clear pricing. Casual operators may be cheaper upfront but often lack adequate insurance, experience or reliability. With Man and Van Coulsdon, you get a structured, accountable service designed to protect your furniture and your property, rather than just transport from A to B.
For larger moves, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or time, or are moving at month-end or weekends when demand is higher. Smaller or local furniture moves in Coulsdon can sometimes be arranged with only a few days’ notice, and we do our best to accommodate urgent requests. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of timing and crew size.
Moving a piano is never just another job. At Man and Van Coulsdon, our dedicated piano removals team handles every move with precision, planning and care. Whether it’s an upright in a flat or a grand piano in a large family home, we provide a safe, fully managed service across Coulsdon, Surrey and South London.
Pianos are heavy, awkward and delicate. The weight sits unevenly, the legs and pedals are fragile, and the internal frame and strings can be affected by sudden jolts. Our locally based team uses the right equipment, correct lifting techniques and proven methods to move your instrument safely.
We regularly move pianos in and around Coulsdon, including tight terraced houses, basement flats, new-builds with limited access and period properties with narrow staircases. Because we work locally every day, we know the roads, parking restrictions and access issues typical to the area.
Our piano removals service in Coulsdon is designed for:
Whether it’s a one-off move within the same building or transport across the country, we tailor the service to your property and your piano.
We safely move most domestic and professional instruments, including:
To protect your property and our team, some items are excluded from our piano removals service, including:
If you’re unsure, mention any unusual items when you enquire so we can advise or quote separately.
Contact Man and Van Coulsdon by phone, email or online form with basic details: piano type, collection and delivery addresses, number of steps, and any access restrictions. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day. For more complex moves (grands, tight staircases, balcony lifts), we’ll ask a few more questions or request photos.
For many Coulsdon piano removals, a virtual survey using photos or video call is sufficient. Where access looks challenging, we arrange an onsite survey to measure doorways, staircases and turning spaces. This ensures we send the right number of team members, correct equipment and appropriate vehicle size on moving day.
On the day, our trained team protects your piano and property before any lifting begins. Depending on the instrument, we may:
We also protect walls, bannisters and doors to prevent scuffs and damage.
Once prepared, we carefully manoeuvre the piano out of the property and into our fully equipped vehicle. Our professional team uses safe lifting techniques and two-way communication throughout. The piano is then securely strapped and blocked in the van to prevent movement in transit. We plan routes around Coulsdon and beyond to avoid unnecessary bumps and steep shortcuts where possible.
At the destination, we reverse the process with the same care. Your piano is unloaded, unwrapped and placed exactly where you want it, subject to access and floor strength. We can advise on sensible positioning in relation to radiators, windows and direct sunlight. For grands, we reassemble legs and pedals and check stability before we leave.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Piano removal costs in Coulsdon depend on:
You’ll receive a written quote that sets out what’s included, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. We do not charge cash-on-the-day surprises. For straightforward local upright moves, we can often provide a fixed price; more complex jobs may be priced after a brief survey.
Attempting to move a piano yourself, or using a casual service without experience, can risk serious damage to the instrument, the property and the people involved. Pianos are both heavy and finely balanced: one slip can break legs, damage keys, crack casing, or worse, cause injury.
With Man and Van Coulsdon you benefit from:
For most customers, the cost of professional removal is far less than the potential cost of repair or replacement after a poorly executed DIY attempt.
Your piano and property are protected every step of the way. Man and Van Coulsdon operates with:
We follow industry best practice for lifting, loading and securing loads. All moves are booked in under our business name, with clear paperwork and contact details. If you require proof of insurance for a school, venue or managing agent, we can provide this on request.
We treat every piano as if it were our own. That means methodical planning, careful wrapping and controlled handling. We use high-quality reusable blankets, pads and straps rather than excessive single-use plastics. Where additional materials are needed, we try to choose recyclable options.
Our vehicles are maintained regularly to run efficiently, and we group local Coulsdon jobs where possible to cut down on unnecessary mileage. By extending the life of existing instruments through careful handling and avoiding damage, we help reduce waste and the environmental cost of replacement.
If you’re moving home in or out of Coulsdon, we can handle your piano as part of a full house move or as a dedicated separate job. We coordinate with your main removal schedule so the piano is moved safely without getting in the way of general furniture and boxes.
We regularly move pianos for schools, churches, care homes, rehearsal rooms and performance venues. This can be between rooms, across campuses or to entirely new premises. We work around lesson times, services and events to minimise disruption.
Sometimes a piano needs to be moved at short notice – a last-minute completion date, a rental changeover or unexpected building works. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day piano removals in Coulsdon and the surrounding areas. Call us as early as possible so we can check vehicle and crew availability.
The cost depends mainly on the type of piano, access at each address and the distance involved. A straightforward upright piano move within Coulsdon, with just a few steps and easy parking, will usually be at the lower end of our pricing. Larger uprights, baby grands and grands, or properties with multiple flights of stairs or tight corners, will cost more due to extra time, staff and equipment. Once we know the details, we’ll give you a clear, fixed quote with no hidden fees.
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent piano removals in Coulsdon, depending on our existing bookings. If your completion date has shifted or you’ve been let down by another mover, contact us as soon as possible by phone. We’ll check our schedule, crew and vehicle availability and let you know what we can offer. In some cases, we may suggest an evening or early morning slot to fit you in safely without rushing the job.
Yes. Your instrument is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it’s in our care and inside the vehicle. In addition, we carry public liability cover for accidental damage to buildings or third parties. Our aim is always to avoid any need for claims through careful planning and handling, but you have the reassurance of proper protection. If your piano is of particularly high value, let us know so we can confirm limits and, if needed, discuss additional cover.
Our standard service includes a pre-move discussion, basic survey (often virtual), all necessary protective blankets and straps, careful removal from your property, secure loading, transport and placement in the new location. For grand pianos, it includes partial dismantling and reassembly where needed. We protect floors, bannisters and doorways as standard. Optional extras, such as storage or moving large amounts of additional furniture, can be added and will be itemised clearly on your quote.
A casual man-and-van may not have the training, equipment or insurance needed for safe piano handling. Our service is built around professional removals standards: experienced crews, piano skids, heavy-duty dollies, proper securing systems and documented insurance. We survey access in advance, plan staffing levels properly and allow sufficient time for a safe move. This reduces the risk of damage to your piano or property and gives you a single, accountable point of contact throughout.
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your Coulsdon piano removal at least one to two weeks in advance, especially for weekends and month-end. That said, we know plans change, so we’ll always try to accommodate shorter notice where we can. As soon as you know roughly when you’d like the move to happen, get in touch; we can pencil in a provisional date and firm this up once your arrangements are confirmed.
Moving home in Coulsdon or the surrounding area? Man and Van Coulsdon provides straightforward, reliable house removals tailored to local families, renters, landlords, students and businesses. As a local operator, we understand Coulsdon’s roads, parking restrictions and building layouts, which means a smoother, more efficient move for you.
Our service is designed to remove as much stress as possible from your move. We combine local knowledge with trained, experienced staff, modern removal vehicles and clear communication from start to finish.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing, moving into your first flat or relocating your small office, we plan every stage in detail so that moving day runs on time and without unnecessary disruption.
If you are buying or selling in Coulsdon, chain timings and completion days can be stressful. We coordinate your move around key handover times, carefully protecting furniture, appliances and personal belongings so they arrive in the same condition they left.
For tenants moving between flats or houses, we provide flexible house removals, including evenings and some weekends by arrangement. We help protect surfaces to avoid damage charges and work efficiently to keep time – and therefore cost – under control.
We assist landlords with part or full property clearances, furniture swaps between properties and setting up furnished lets. Our team can remove old, unwanted items, relocate furniture between addresses and prepare properties for new tenants.
Smaller offices and local businesses in Coulsdon use our service for relocations, storage moves and internal reshuffles. We can move desks, chairs, filing cabinets, IT equipment and stock with minimal disruption to your trading.
Students moving to or from Coulsdon benefit from a cost-effective, smaller-scale service. We can handle boxes, suitcases, small furniture items and bikes, often in a single van load, and we group moves where possible to keep costs sensible.
Our standard house removals service in Coulsdon typically covers:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our service. These typically include:
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.
You can contact Man and Van Coulsdon by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property, access, the number of rooms and any special items. Based on this, we provide an initial estimate or, for larger moves, arrange a detailed survey.
For most full house moves we carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess parking, access (stairs, lifts, narrow doorways), the volume of goods and any fragile or high-value items. Accurate surveys mean the right vehicle size, the right number of staff and realistic timings on the day.
If you choose our packing service, we agree a date prior to moving day. Our team arrives with all required materials and packs room by room, labelling boxes clearly. If you are packing yourself, we can supply materials and guidance. On the day, we protect furniture and key surfaces using blankets, covers and floor protection where needed.
Our professional, trained movers load the vehicle in a planned order, securing items with straps and blankets to minimise movement in transit. We work systematically, starting with larger furniture and heavier boxes, then lighter, more fragile items. We then transport your belongings directly to your new home or, if agreed, to storage.
On arrival, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. Boxes are stacked sensibly to allow you to unpack easily. Furniture we dismantled is reassembled where agreed. Before we leave, we invite you to check that everything you expected has been delivered and positioned to your satisfaction.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. For smaller moves we may quote an hourly rate that includes the vehicle, fuel and a set number of movers. For full house removals in Coulsdon, we usually provide a fixed price based on:
All costs are explained in advance, with no hidden extras. Congestion charges, tolls or parking costs are discussed where relevant to your move.
Hiring a professional removals company goes beyond simply having a van. Our trained teams understand safe lifting techniques, how to manoeuvre large items in tight spaces and how to protect your property and belongings. A DIY move often ends up taking longer, requiring multiple trips, and carries a higher risk of damage or injury.
With Man and Van Coulsdon you benefit from fully insured transport, proper equipment such as trolleys and straps, and the reassurance that your move is organised rather than improvised. This is especially important for larger properties, higher floors and time-sensitive moves.
We operate to recognised industry standards and take our responsibilities seriously. Your belongings are covered by goods in transit insurance while they are in our care and being transported. We also carry public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to property or third parties during the move.
Our movers are trained in safe handling, loading and customer care. We maintain our vehicles regularly and use suitable protective equipment to reduce the risk of damage. Full details of our cover, including any limits and exclusions, are available on request and explained before you confirm your booking.
We treat your home and belongings with the same care we would our own. Furniture is wrapped or covered where required, mattresses are protected, and we use blankets and straps throughout the vehicle. Floors and banisters can be protected where necessary, particularly in communal areas or recently decorated properties.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where possible we reuse sturdy cartons, encourage customers to return boxes for future moves, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. We aim to minimise waste by using durable, recyclable packing materials and responsibly disposing of any unwanted items you ask us to remove.
Many of our customers are moving a short distance within Coulsdon itself. Local knowledge allows us to plan around school traffic, parking restrictions and access issues on narrow residential streets, helping your move run smoothly.
We regularly help small offices and shops relocate within South London and Surrey. By planning the move outside peak trading hours and working efficiently, we reduce downtime so you can be up and running quickly in your new premises.
Occasionally moves arise at short notice due to changes in completion dates, tenancy issues or personal circumstances. Subject to availability, we can offer same-day or next-day assistance in Coulsdon, focusing on getting essential items moved safely and on time.
The cost of a house removal in Coulsdon depends on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, access, distance travelled and whether you need packing or dismantling services. Smaller flat moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full house removals are usually priced as a fixed quote after a survey. This ensures the right team and vehicle are allocated and you know the total cost in advance. We are always happy to provide a no-obligation estimate based on your specific requirements.
Yes, we can often assist with same-day or urgent moves in Coulsdon, depending on existing bookings and team availability. If your completion date has changed unexpectedly or you need to vacate a property at short notice, contact us as early in the day as possible. We will confirm what level of service we can realistically provide, which may include prioritising essential items first. While advance booking is always preferable, we understand that circumstances change and will do our best to accommodate you.
Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while being moved in our vehicles, and we carry public liability cover for work in and around properties. These policies are designed to give you peace of mind should something unexpected happen. There are standard exclusions and limits, for example on very high-value or fragile items, which we discuss with you beforehand. We always encourage customers to highlight particularly valuable or delicate possessions during the survey so we can advise on the best way to protect them.
A typical house removals service from Man and Van Coulsdon includes provision of a suitable vehicle, a team of professional movers, loading at your current address, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you specify at your new property. We protect furniture with blankets, use straps to secure loads and can carry out basic dismantling and reassembly by prior agreement. Optional extras include packing materials, a full or partial packing service and help with positioning furniture. All inclusions are clearly outlined in your written quote before you decide.
While both use vans, a professional removals service provides much more than simple transport. We carry insurance, employ trained staff, use purpose-built equipment and plan moves carefully based on surveys. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs. Casual man-and-van operators may not offer the same level of protection, reliability or accountability, which can be risky when moving the contents of your home. Choosing a structured, professional service is especially important for larger properties, long-distance moves and time-critical completion dates.
Ideally, you should book your house removal in Coulsdon as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, typically at least two to three weeks in advance. This gives us time to conduct a survey, plan resources and schedule your move at the time that suits you best. During busy periods such as month-end and summer, dates can fill quickly, so earlier is always better. That said, if your plans change or you need to move sooner, contact us and we will check availability and suggest practical options.
At Man and Van Coulsdon, our man with van service in Coulsdon is designed for people who want reliable, careful movers without the cost or complexity of a full-scale removal lorry.

Our man with van in Coulsdon is a flexible, pay-for-what-you-need service ideal for smaller moves, single items, and short-notice jobs. You benefit from professional standards with a simpler, more agile setup.
You get a clean, well-maintained van, protective blankets, straps, trolley, and a trained mover who knows how to lift, load and secure items safely.
Working daily in and around Coulsdon, we know the local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts extremely well. That means:
This local knowledge keeps your move efficient and reduces stress on the day.
Ideal if you are moving from or to a smaller property, downsizing, or just need a professional team to move heavier pieces while you handle the lighter bits yourself.
Whether you are moving between rented flats in Coulsdon or relocating across town, our man with van is a cost-effective way to move without calling in favours from friends or risking damage with DIY transport.
We regularly help landlords with quick, discreet removals of furniture, part-furnished setups, and end-of-tenancy clear-outs, always carried out respectfully and in line with your instructions.
Coulsdon businesses use our service for small office moves, moving stock or equipment, and one-off deliveries. We can work outside business hours to minimise disruption.
Students heading to or from Coulsdon find our man with van service ideal for moving a room’s worth of belongings in one go. We can collect from multiple addresses and deliver to halls, flats or shared houses.
If you are unsure whether we can move a particular item, just ask during your enquiry and we will confirm or suggest an alternative solution.
You contact us with your pick-up and drop-off addresses, a rough list of items, and your preferred date and time. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the time, distance and size of the job, explaining any minimum charges so you know exactly where you stand.
For most man with van jobs in Coulsdon, a quick phone or video survey is sufficient. We may ask for photos or a video walk-through to assess access, stairs and parking. For larger or more complex moves, we can arrange an onsite visit to plan the job properly.
You can pack your own belongings into boxes, or we can provide packing materials and, for an additional fee, a packing service. We will guide you on labelling, dismantling furniture where needed, and preparing appliances so everything is ready when we arrive.
On the day, our trained mover (or team, if you have requested more than one person) arrives on time, protects key items with blankets, and loads the van in a safe, secure order. We use straps, trolleys and proper lifting techniques. We then transport your goods directly to the destination using sensible, efficient routes.
At the new address, we unload everything into the rooms you specify, placing bulky items where you want them first so you can start settling in straight away. We are happy to move items around within reasonable limits so you are comfortable with the final layout.
Our pricing is honest and straightforward. Typically, our man with van service is charged on an hourly basis with a minimum booking period, plus any mileage outside the local area. Larger jobs can be priced as a fixed quote if preferred.
Your quote will clearly explain:
There are no hidden extras – any potential additional costs are discussed openly before you book.
Using a professional man with van service beats DIY or casual help in several important ways:
With us, you are not just hiring a van – you are hiring experience, accountability and a professional standard of service.
As a reputable Coulsdon removals company, we operate to high standards on every job, no matter how small.
Full details of cover and limits are available on request, and we are happy to explain exactly how our insurance works in practice.
We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture and appliances are wrapped or covered, and we take care around walls, doors and staircases to avoid marks or damage. Where possible, we plan our routes and scheduling to reduce unnecessary mileage.
We also aim to minimise waste by reusing strong boxes where appropriate, offering reusable crates for larger jobs, and recycling materials responsibly. A well-organised move is not only less stressful – it is also usually kinder to the environment.
Many Coulsdon residents with one- or two-bedroom properties find a man with van perfectly suited to their move, especially when combined with good preparation and packing. It is an efficient way to move your entire home in one or two trips.
From small offices to high-street shops, we carry out moves of desks, chairs, filing cabinets, displays and stock. We can work early mornings, evenings or weekends to fit around your trading hours.
Life does not always go to plan. When you need to move quickly – a tenancy ending, a last-minute purchase, or a delivery that has fallen through – our same-day man with van (subject to availability) can often step in at short notice.
Costs depend on how long the job takes, how many movers you need, and the distance between addresses. Most local moves are charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking, which we explain clearly before you confirm. To give an accurate price, we will ask for an item list, access details and your preferred date and time. Fixed-price quotes are available for larger or clearly defined jobs, so you know exactly what you will pay before moving day.
Yes, we regularly handle same-day and urgent moves in Coulsdon, subject to availability. The sooner you contact us, the better the chance we can fit you in, especially at weekends or month-end when demand is high. If we can help, we will give you a firm arrival window and a clear price before dispatching a van. For very last-minute jobs, having a clear list of items and access information ready helps us get to you faster and keep the move efficient.
We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved, plus public liability cover for work at your property and any third-party locations. This is a key difference between us and informal or cash-in-hand options. Insurance does have conditions and limits, which we are happy to explain in plain language before you book. We also handle your items carefully to prevent issues in the first place, using blankets, straps and safe loading methods.
Our standard service includes a professional driver–porter, a clean van sized to your job, loading and unloading of agreed items, and all the usual moving equipment – blankets, straps and trolleys. We will place items in the rooms you choose and position larger pieces such as beds and sofas. Optional extras, such as packing, dismantling/reassembling furniture and providing materials, can be added for an agreed fee. We confirm exactly what is included in writing so you know what to expect on moving day.
With us, you are hiring a professional removals company, not just a van and a driver. We are fully insured, use trained staff, and follow proper procedures for surveys, booking, loading and transport. Our vans carry appropriate equipment and are maintained to a high standard. You receive a written confirmation of your booking and clear terms, so you know we will turn up when promised and handle your belongings responsibly. The extra peace of mind usually far outweighs any small difference in cost.
For the best choice of dates and times, especially Fridays, weekends and month-ends, it is wise to book one to two weeks ahead. However, we understand that moves are not always predictable, and we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Even if your date is not fixed, it is worth getting in touch early so we can pencil you in and adjust as your plans firm up. The more notice you give, the more flexible we can be with timing and pricing.
At Man and Van Coulsdon we provide a dedicated student removals service designed around the realities of student life – tight budgets, shared houses, small rooms, and strict move-in and move-out dates. We combine local knowledge of Coulsdon and surrounding areas with a reliable, fully insured removals service that keeps your move simple and stress-free.
Our student service covers everything from a single room to a small flat. We regularly move students between Coulsdon and universities across London and the UK. Typical student moves include:

Based in Coulsdon, we know the local area, roads, parking restrictions and university term-time patterns extremely well. That means:

You contact us with your moving date, addresses and a list or photos of what you need moved. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume of items, distance, access and any extra services such as packing.
For most student moves a virtual survey (photos or video call) is sufficient. For larger flats or shared houses, we can arrange an onsite visit in Coulsdon to assess access, stairs, parking and any dismantling required.
You can pack your own belongings, or choose our packing service where our trained team bring materials and pack everything securely. We label boxes clearly for easy placement at your new address. Mattresses and furniture are wrapped for protection.
On moving day we arrive on time, protect communal areas where needed, and load your belongings carefully. Everything is secured in our vehicles with blankets and straps, then transported directly between addresses or via storage if arranged.
At your new property we unload into the rooms you choose, not just the doorway. We can reassemble beds and simple furniture, and place boxes where they are easiest for you to unpack. Once you are satisfied, we complete a quick check and sign-off.
We understand that students and families are often working to a fixed budget. Our pricing is straightforward and explained in advance. Quotes are usually based on:
You will receive a written breakdown so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden charges for fuel or standard insurance – these are built into the quote. For students, we can often group smaller moves on the same route to keep costs down.
It can be tempting to borrow a car or ask friends to help, but a professional removals service offers clear advantages:
A casual man-with-a-van may appear cheaper at first glance, but often lacks proper insurance, training or backup vehicles. With Man and Van Coulsdon you get a structured service, clear communication and accountability from start to finish.
We take our responsibilities seriously. All student removals are covered by appropriate insurance and carried out by trained moving teams who follow industry best practice.
We are happy to discuss cover limits and any particularly valuable items so you can be confident everything is appropriately protected.
We handle student belongings with the same care as a full household move. That means:
We also work to reduce our environmental impact by:
For students who move frequently, we can advise on packing methods that reduce waste and make each move easier.
We often collect from family homes in Coulsdon, load everything in one go, and deliver directly to university halls or a first-year flat. Parents appreciate having a reliable, fully insured team on hand for what is often a busy and emotional day.
For students returning home for the summer, we move belongings back to Coulsdon or to storage, then bring them out again at the start of the next term. This avoids paying rent just to store possessions in an empty room.
Sometimes tenancies change quickly or plans fall through. Where our schedule allows, we provide same-day or next-day student removals in and around Coulsdon. We prioritise clear communication so you know exactly when to expect us.
Costs vary depending on the amount of belongings, distance and the level of service you need. A small student move within Coulsdon is usually charged as a minimum time-based booking, while larger moves or longer distances are priced individually. We will ask for an item list or photos so we can estimate accurately. Your quote will include vehicle, fuel, standard insurance and our team’s time. Optional extras such as packing, materials and furniture assembly are listed separately so you can choose what suits your budget.
Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice moves in Coulsdon and surrounding areas. This is particularly common at the end of tenancies or around key university dates. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early in the day as possible with your locations and item details. We will confirm availability, an estimated arrival window and costs before you commit. Even at short notice, we still work to our usual professional standards, including proper protection and insurance cover.
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover. These policies are designed to protect against the unexpected, such as accidental damage or incidents on the road. There are standard exclusions and limits, which we are happy to explain, and we may ask you to highlight any particularly valuable or fragile items in advance. For everyday student belongings, our cover is more than adequate and significantly better than relying on informal help.
Our standard service includes arrival at the agreed time, loading all pre-packed items, protecting furniture with blankets, securing everything in the van, safe transport between addresses and unloading into your chosen rooms. Travel, fuel and standard insurance are included in the agreed price. You can add services such as packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of beds and basic furniture, or extra stops for key collection or storage. We outline exactly what is covered in your written quote so there are no surprises on the day.
A casual man-and-van may simply provide a vehicle and driver, often on a cash basis with limited protection. We operate as a professional, fully insured removals company. That means trained staff, proper equipment, written quotes, clear confirmation of dates and times, and formal insurance policies. We plan access, bring the right tools for dismantling, and take responsibility for the safe handling of your belongings. For students, this reliability is especially important when tenancy dates and handover times leave little room for problems or delays.
For peak times such as the start and end of university terms, we recommend booking as soon as you have confirmed dates – ideally two to four weeks in advance. This gives you the best choice of time slots and allows us to plan routes efficiently. For smaller local moves within Coulsdon, we can sometimes accommodate bookings with much shorter notice, especially midweek. Even if your dates are not final, it is worth making an initial enquiry so we can pencil you in and adjust details as your plans become clearer.
When you need to move today, you need a removals team that can react quickly, stay organised and protect your belongings properly. At Man and Van Coulsdon, our same day removals service in Coulsdon and surrounding areas is designed for urgent, time-sensitive moves without cutting corners on care or safety.
Our same day removals are a fully managed moving service carried out by a professional, experienced team. Depending on your needs and timescales, we can provide:
We bring the right size vehicle, moving equipment, blankets, straps and, where required, packing materials. Everything is handled by a trained team working to proven procedures so that speed never replaces care.
Being based in Coulsdon means we know the area extremely well: from parking restrictions and loading bays to tight access roads and building layouts. This local knowledge lets us plan fast routes, avoid bottlenecks and arrive when we say we will.
We regularly handle same day moves across Coulsdon, Purley, Caterham, Croydon and wider Surrey and South London, working with local homeowners, landlords and businesses who need a dependable team at short notice.
Ideal if a completion date moves unexpectedly, a chain suddenly aligns, or you have to vacate your property sooner than expected. We can move full houses or partial loads on the same day, safely and efficiently.
Perfect if your tenancy ends suddenly, you're facing a last-minute check-out, or you've had issues with a previous mover. We can clear flats quickly, liaise with building management where needed, and help you avoid penalties for late departures.
We assist with rapid clearances after evictions, abandoned tenancies or urgent turnarounds between tenants. Our team can remove furniture, white goods and rubbish-ready items, leaving the property ready for cleaning and re-letting.
We support shops, offices and small businesses with urgent relocations, internal moves, stock transfers and equipment moves. Out-of-hours or evening work is possible by arrangement to minimise disruption.
If you have to move out of halls today, or swap accommodation at short notice, our same day removals are cost-effective and flexible. We handle possessions carefully, including PCs, gaming equipment and instruments.
If you are unsure about an item, mention it when you call – we will advise clearly what we can do and whether extra arrangements are needed.
Call us as early as possible. We will ask a few focused questions about your current address, destination, access, inventory and timing. For same day jobs, we prioritise a rapid response and provide a clear, no-obligation quote over the phone or by email.
For larger moves, we may arrange a quick video survey (WhatsApp, FaceTime, etc.) to assess volume, access and any special items. For smaller or straightforward jobs, a detailed phone survey is usually sufficient. This ensures we send the right team and vehicle first time.
Depending on how urgent the move is, we can offer:
We use quality boxes, wrapping and protective covers to safeguard furniture and delicate items, even when working to tight deadlines.
Our trained team loads systematically, using blankets, straps and trolleys. We protect doorways, banisters and flooring where required. Once everything is safely onboard, we travel via the most efficient route, using local knowledge and live traffic updates.
On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, not just the hallway. Furniture can be positioned to your plan, and basic re-assembly of items we dismantled (such as bed frames) can be included by prior agreement. We always aim to leave you as settled as possible given the urgency of the move.
Same day work often means rearranging schedules and allocating staff at short notice, but we still keep pricing clear and fair. Our quotes typically consider:
You will always receive a clear price structure before we confirm the booking, so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden charges for stairs or waiting time that we have not discussed in advance.
When time is tight, DIY moves become risky. Rushing to lift heavy items without proper equipment often leads to injuries, property damage and broken belongings. A casual man-with-a-van may not be fully insured, may work alone and may not have the capacity to complete the job in one go.
With Man and Van Coulsdon you get a professional team, the right vehicle, protective equipment and a structured process – even on same day jobs. This means a much lower chance of damage or delays, and a far less stressful experience.
We take our duty of care seriously. All same day removals are covered by:
We can advise on any valuation limits and exclusions when you book, and we will always recommend that you keep important documents, jewellery and cash with you personally.
Even with same day pressure, we never compromise on care. We use clean, well-maintained vehicles and protective covers for furniture, mattresses and delicate items. Our teams are trained in safe lifting techniques to protect both your belongings and themselves.
Where possible, we reuse durable packing materials, recycle cardboard and minimise unnecessary journeys. Combining smaller loads and planning efficient routes reduces our environmental impact without affecting service quality.
Completion dates can change suddenly. We regularly step in when another mover cancels, or when customers realise they have more to move than expected. Our same day house moves cover everything from studio flats to family homes, subject to availability.
Lease issues, flooding, or building problems sometimes force offices to relocate the same day. We can move desks, chairs, files and IT equipment quickly while keeping items organised so you can be operational again as soon as possible.
Bereavements, evictions and emergency repairs can all demand rapid clear-outs. We work respectfully and efficiently to remove furniture and belongings, coordinating with landlords, contractors or family members as needed.
Costs depend on the size of the move, distance, number of movers required and how urgent the timescale is. Smaller same day jobs may be charged on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Factors such as access (stairs, lifts, parking), evening or weekend work, and any packing or dismantling needed will also affect the price. We will always provide a clear, itemised quotation before you confirm, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Availability depends on how busy the day is and the size of the job, but we keep some flexibility in our schedule to accommodate urgent moves where possible. Calling early in the morning gives the best chance of securing a same day slot. For larger properties, we may offer a part-move the same day with completion the following day if that is more realistic. If we cannot help within your timeframe, we will tell you honestly rather than over-promising.
Yes. Our same day removals are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover for our operations at your property. As with any policy, there are limits and exclusions, which we will explain clearly on booking. Highly valuable or unusual items may require prior notification or separate cover, and we always recommend that you personally transport passports, cash, important documents and small high-value items.
The core service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We bring blankets, straps and handling equipment as standard. By prior agreement we can add packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and re-assembly of basic furniture, disposal of unwanted items and out-of-hours working. Your quotation will clearly show what is included so there is no confusion on the day.
A casual man-and-van service often involves a single person with a vehicle, limited equipment and no formal insurance. A professional same day removal with us provides a trained team, appropriate vehicle size, fully insured cover, proper protective materials and a structured plan, even under time pressure. This greatly reduces the risk of damage, delays or incomplete moves. We also provide written confirmations, invoices and clear communication throughout, which is important for landlords, businesses and homebuyers.
For planned moves, the more notice the better. For same day removals, contact us as early as possible on the day you need to move. Many urgent jobs are booked before midday, so an early call improves your chances of securing a slot. If you know a move is likely but dates are uncertain, it is worth speaking to us in advance so we can discuss options and keep some flexibility in mind for your preferred days.
At Man and Van Coulsdon, our man and a van service is designed for people who want the flexibility and affordability of a smaller move, but still expect a professional, fully insured, well-managed removal. Based in Coulsdon and working across the surrounding areas, we handle everything from single items to full flat moves with care, organisation and attention to detail.
Our man and a van service in Coulsdon is a streamlined version of a full removals service, ideal for smaller or more straightforward moves. You get a dedicated vehicle, a trained driver-mover and, where needed, additional porters.
Every move is carried out by trained staff who work to industry best practice, ensuring your belongings are properly protected and transported.
Because we’re based in Coulsdon, we know the local roads, parking rules and property layouts extremely well. From narrow residential streets off Brighton Road to flats near Coulsdon South and properties tucked away on hills, we plan access carefully to minimise disruption, delays and stress.
We regularly work with local estate agents, landlords and businesses, which means we’re familiar with common building restrictions, lift sizes and loading options in and around Coulsdon. That local knowledge helps us plan realistic timings and choose the right vehicle for your move.
If you’re not sure whether you need a full removal or a man and a van, we’ll give honest advice based on the volume of items, access and your timescales.
If in doubt, let us know what you need moved when you enquire. We’ll confirm what’s possible and if any special arrangements are needed.
You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We’ll ask a few key questions: addresses, property type and floor levels, rough inventory, dates and any access restrictions. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day.
For most man and a van jobs in Coulsdon, a quick virtual survey via video call or detailed phone assessment is enough. For larger or more complex moves, we can arrange an onsite survey. This helps us choose the right vehicle size, number of movers and time allowance, so your move runs smoothly.
You can pack your own items or add our packing service. If you pack yourself, we’ll advise on suitable boxes and labelling so everything stacks safely. On the day, we protect furniture with blankets and covers, and we use professional tools to disassemble basic items if requested.
Our trained team loads your belongings in a logical, secure order, using straps and blankets to prevent movement in transit. We work efficiently but never rush at the expense of safety. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while in our vehicle.
At the destination, we unload items to the rooms you specify, not just to the door. We’ll reassemble furniture we took apart (where agreed) and check you’re happy with the placement before we leave. We aim to leave you with a functional, liveable space from day one.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing for man and a van services in Coulsdon. Depending on your needs, we can price:
Our quotes explain what is included: vehicle size, number of movers, estimated hours, and any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly. There are no hidden charges; any potential extra costs (for example, congestion or parking fees) are discussed upfront.
Hiring a casual van or doing it yourself can seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, delays and stress. With Man and Van Coulsdon you get:
This means fewer breakages, fewer injuries, and a smoother, more predictable moving day.
We operate to professional removals standards to protect you and your belongings at every stage.
We’ll happily explain our cover limits and how to declare any higher-value items so everything is appropriately protected.
Looking after your belongings is central to how we work. We use padded removal blankets, mattress and sofa covers, and appropriate wrapping for delicate items. Furniture is loaded to avoid pressure points and movement in transit.
We also aim to reduce waste where possible. We reuse durable packing materials, encourage box recycling and plan routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage. When clearing items, we can signpost you to local recycling and donation options in and around Coulsdon to avoid unnecessary landfill.
For small houses and flats, our man and a van service offers a cost-effective way to move locally within Coulsdon and nearby areas. We can handle everything from initial packing to final placement, or simply provide loading, transport and unloading if you prefer to pack yourself.
Smaller businesses often don’t need a full-scale commercial removal. Our man and a van option is ideal for moving a few rooms of office furniture, IT equipment and files, with careful handling and logical loading so you can get back up and running quickly.
From last-minute tenancy changes to urgent collections, we regularly assist with short-notice moves in Coulsdon, subject to availability. Because we’re local, we can often react quickly, offering same-day or next-day slots when our schedule allows. We’ll always be honest about what’s achievable within your timeframe.
Costs depend on the size of vehicle required, number of movers, distance between addresses and how long the job takes. For smaller local moves we often charge by the hour with a minimum booking period, while larger or more defined jobs can be priced as a fixed quote. To give an accurate figure we’ll ask for details of your inventory, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and preferred dates. We’ll then provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what to budget for.
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Coulsdon, especially for smaller loads, provided we have a vehicle and team available. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better the chances of securing a slot. For urgent moves we recommend having a clear list of items, both addresses and any time constraints ready when you call. We will always be upfront about what’s realistic and confirm all costs before we set off.
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are on our vehicle and in our care, and we also carry public liability cover. As with any insurance, there are terms, conditions and value limits, which we’re happy to explain in plain language before you book. We usually advise that you move highly valuable or irreplaceable items such as jewellery, cash and important documents yourself for complete peace of mind.
Our standard service includes a suitably sized vehicle, a trained driver-mover and, if required, extra porters. We handle loading, secure transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We provide protective blankets, basic tools for straightforward furniture disassembly and reassembly (by prior agreement), and guidance on packing. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and materials, and additional stops for collections or drop-offs. Everything included will be clearly listed in your quote so you know what to expect.
A full removal service is generally suited to larger house moves and includes more planning, bigger teams, larger vehicles and often comprehensive packing. Our man and a van service is designed for smaller or simpler jobs, offering the same professional, fully insured approach but on a more flexible, scaled-down basis. It’s ideal for flats, partial house moves, students and small offices. If you’re unsure which option suits you, we will assess your inventory and advise honestly on the most practical and cost-effective choice.
For weekend and month-end dates, we recommend booking your man and a van in Coulsdon at least two to three weeks ahead, as these periods are busiest. For midweek or off-peak moves, a week’s notice is often enough, and we may still be able to help at shorter notice. Once your date is confirmed, we’ll send written confirmation of the booking details. If your plans change, let us know as early as possible so we can adjust timings or reschedule where feasible.
Moving in or out of a flat in Coulsdon brings its own challenges – stairs, lifts, tight hallways, parking restrictions and neighbours to consider. At Man and Van Coulsdon, our dedicated flat removals service is designed around these exact issues, making your move smooth, safe and well organised from start to finish.
We focus on carefully planned, efficiently executed moves for all types of flats and apartments across Coulsdon and the surrounding areas. Whether you are on the ground floor or the top floor, we plan the route, protect your belongings and the property, and work respectfully around your building’s rules.
Our team is fully insured, uniformed and professionally trained in handling flat moves, including awkward stairwells, limited access, lift bookings and timed loading bays.
If you are moving from a leasehold flat to a new home or another apartment, we provide a complete, structured service so you can focus on your sale and purchase rather than the physical lifting and logistics.
End of tenancy moves often have tight deadlines and check-out inspections. We work to your inventory and timings, helping you avoid damage, extra cleaning charges and last-minute stress.
Landlords and letting agents use us for tenant changeover moves, partial clearances and furniture moves between properties. We can work directly with you or your tenants and provide paperwork on request.
Many small businesses operate from flats in Coulsdon. We handle office removals and home-office moves, safely transporting computers, files, stock and office furniture with minimal downtime.
Students moving to or from Coulsdon can benefit from our smaller, flexible student removals service, ideal for single rooms, shared flats and halls of residence, with options for budget-friendly shared loads.
We regularly move:
For safety and compliance reasons, some items are excluded from our service:
If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise before your move day.
Contact us by phone, email or online with your move details: addresses, dates, property type and main items. We will ask a few focused questions about access, floors, lifts and parking. Based on this, we provide a clear, written quote with no hidden extras, explaining exactly what is included.
For most flat moves we recommend a short survey. This can be done via video call or an in-person visit, depending on the size and complexity of your move. The survey allows us to confirm vehicle size, crew numbers, timing, packing needs and any special access arrangements required by your building management.
We can offer:
On the day, our team protects floors, doors and banisters as required, disassembles furniture where agreed and safely prepares appliances for transit.
We carefully load your belongings, using padded blankets, straps and specialist equipment to prevent damage, especially when navigating stairwells and lifts. Our vehicles are clean, purpose-built removal vans with goods in transit insurance in place. We plan the route in advance, taking into account Coulsdon’s traffic patterns and access at your new address.
At your new flat, we unload in a structured order, placing furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. Where agreed, we reassemble furniture and position larger items so you can settle in more quickly. Before leaving, we check that everything has been unloaded and placed as requested.
We aim for clear, honest pricing with no unpleasant surprises. Costs are based on:
We offer both fixed-price quotes for clearly defined moves and hourly rates for smaller or more flexible jobs. All charges are explained in advance so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Moving yourself or hiring a casual man-with-a-van might seem cheaper, but often ends up costing more in damage, delays and stress. Our professional service offers:
You benefit from a safer, smoother move, with a team who do this every day and understand how to work within Coulsdon’s buildings and communities.
Man and Van Coulsdon operates to clear, professional standards for your peace of mind:
We treat every move as if it were our own home, balancing efficiency with careful handling.
Flat buildings demand extra care. We use floor protectors, door covers and padding where necessary to avoid marks and damage, helping you keep landlords, neighbours and managing agents on side. We handle your belongings with the same level of attention, from fragile items to heavy furniture.
Where possible, we reuse durable packing materials and minimise waste. We encourage customers to use reusable crates for larger moves and can collect used boxes in good condition for future use, helping reduce the environmental impact of each move.
Whatever your circumstances, we plan around your priorities, timings and building restrictions to deliver a move that works for you.
The cost of a flat removal in Coulsdon depends mainly on the size of your move, access at each property and the distance travelled. Smaller studio or one-bed flats may be charged on an hourly basis, while larger or more complex moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Additional services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly will affect the price but are always agreed in advance. Once we have your details or have carried out a survey, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden fees.
We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice flat removals in Coulsdon, depending on existing bookings and crew availability. If your move is urgent, contact us as early in the day as possible and provide full details of addresses, access and items. We will check our schedule and let you know realistically what we can do, including partial moves or multi-trip options where needed. While advance booking is always preferable, we understand that circumstances change quickly and we do our best to help.
Our service includes goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, as well as public liability insurance for work carried out in and around your property. This gives protection in the unlikely event of damage or accident during the move. We still handle everything with great care, using protective materials and proper lifting techniques as standard. If you have particularly high-value or delicate items, let us know in advance so we can discuss the best way to protect them.
Our flat removals service typically includes the supply of a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading and unloading of your belongings, and safe transport between properties. We can also provide optional packing services, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and packing materials such as boxes and tape. We protect your items and, where needed, floors and doorways. What is included in your specific move will be clearly listed in your quote, so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
A basic man-and-van service often focuses on transport only, with limited planning, protection or insurance. A professional removals service like ours includes structured planning, trained crews, insurance cover, proper equipment, and clear written agreements. We assess access, recommend the right team and vehicle, and take responsibility for safely moving your belongings. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disagreement over what is or is not included, giving you a more reliable and predictable move.
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your flat removal at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you are moving at month-end or on a Friday or weekend. That said, we can often accommodate shorter notice, particularly for smaller moves, so it is always worth asking. Once your moving date is confirmed, contact us as soon as possible so we can reserve the right crew, vehicle and time slot for your Coulsdon flat move.
Man and Van Coulsdon provides a reliable, local man and van removals service for homes, flats and businesses across Coulsdon and the surrounding areas. Run by experienced movers, we combine the flexibility of a man and van with the care, planning and professional standards you would expect from a full removals company.
Our service is designed to be straightforward, efficient and stress-free. Whether you are moving a single item across town or clearing an entire flat, we tailor the job to your needs.
Every move is handled by a trained, uniformed team using clean, purpose-built vans equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys for safe transport.
Working daily in Coulsdon means we know the area well: the parking restrictions, one-way systems, busy times and access issues around local estates and high streets. This local knowledge helps us plan sensible arrival times, avoid delays and choose the right vehicle size for your street.
We regularly move customers in and around Old Coulsdon, Smitham, Chipstead Valley and nearby areas, coordinating with building managers and neighbours where needed to keep everything running smoothly.
If you are downsizing, renovating or moving between houses, our flexible vans and professional crews can handle anything from a few key pieces of furniture to full household contents.
Ideal for flat and maisonette moves, including tight stairwells and limited parking. We are used to working with managing agents and can help you move out on time and in good order.
We work with landlords to clear properties between tenants, move in furniture packs, and relocate appliances. We keep you updated with photos and notes where required.
From small offices to local shops, our man and van service helps with internal moves, relocations, stock moves, exhibitions and equipment deliveries, always aiming to minimise downtime.
Perfect for term-time moves to and from halls or shared houses. We can combine trips to keep costs fair when friends are moving at similar times.
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some things we cannot move, including:
If you are unsure about any particular item, let us know during your enquiry so we can advise or suggest alternatives.
You contact us with basic details: where you are moving from and to, the main items involved, dates and any access notes (stairs, lifts, parking). Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day.
For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a short video call or onsite visit. This lets us check access, estimate time accurately and decide on the right van size and team. For smaller moves, detailed photos or a list are often enough.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can supply materials in advance. Where requested, we offer professional packing and part-packing services, including dismantling simple furniture and protecting fragile items. On moving day we wrap key pieces with blankets and covers for extra protection.
Our trained movers load the van carefully, securing items with straps to prevent movement in transit. We handle heavy lifting, navigate stairs and protect walls and floors where practical. We then transport your goods directly to your new address using efficient routes.
On arrival, we unload and place items in the rooms you choose, not just at the front door. We reassemble any furniture we dismantled and position large items so you can start settling in straight away.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Most man and van moves are priced either by the hour or as a fixed quote, depending on what suits the job best.
Your quote will explain exactly what is included: number of movers, size of van, estimated time and any additional services such as packing. If circumstances change, we discuss any impact on cost before proceeding.
Hiring a van and asking friends can seem cheaper, but it often leads to delays, damage and stress. With Man and Van Coulsdon you get:
Choosing an established, professional service reduces the risk of injury, property damage and unexpected costs that can arise from DIY or casual help.
We operate to recognised industry standards and hold appropriate cover for the work we do.
We log each job, maintain our vehicles regularly and use checklists to ensure nothing is overlooked. If there are access issues or risks, we will explain them clearly and agree a sensible approach with you.
We treat your belongings as if they were our own, taking sensible precautions at every stage. Furniture and appliances are wrapped and protected, fragile boxes are clearly marked and stacked safely, and we avoid overloading to reduce the chance of damage.
Where possible, we reuse durable packing materials, choose low-emission routes and plan diaries so vans are used efficiently rather than running half-empty. We can also remove and recycle unwanted small items by prior arrangement, helping you reduce waste when you move.
For smaller properties or partial moves, our man and van service is often the most practical option. We can move you in one well-planned trip, even when access is tight or parking is limited.
We help local businesses move between premises, shift stock to storage, or rearrange internal layouts. Work can be scheduled outside normal hours to reduce disruption to your staff and customers.
When plans change unexpectedly, we do our best to offer same-day or next-day availability. If your completion date moves or a tenancy ends sooner than expected, we work with you to find a practical solution.
Costs depend mainly on how much you are moving, access at each property and the distance travelled. Smaller jobs are usually charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, while larger or more defined moves can be priced as a fixed quote. To keep things fair, we ask for accurate information up front so we can recommend the right crew size and van. We are always happy to explain how a price has been worked out so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Yes, subject to availability we can often provide same-day or next-day man and van services in and around Coulsdon. Urgent bookings are more likely to be accepted if you are flexible on start time and crew size. If we cannot fit you in exactly as requested, we will usually be able to suggest the nearest realistic option. For last-minute completions or emergency clearances, contact us as early as possible so we can adjust routes and schedule to help.
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, and public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. Insurance works alongside our working practices: we use correct lifting techniques, secure loads properly and protect key items. When you request a quote, we can outline the main terms and limits in plain language so you understand what is and is not covered, and can arrange additional cover if you need it for unusually high-value items.
Our standard service includes a suitable van, one or more trained movers, loading, transport and unloading to rooms of your choice. We provide blankets, straps and basic tools for simple dismantling and reassembly. Packing, materials, disposal of unwanted items and complex dismantling are optional extras that can be added to your quote. Fuel and normal travel within our service area are included unless stated otherwise. Before confirming your booking, we will send a written summary so you know exactly what will happen on the day.
Unlike casual or one-person adverts, we operate as a structured, professional service. That means fully insured operations, maintained vehicles, trained staff and a clear booking process. We carry suitable equipment, plan each job in advance and keep you informed if timings change. Our focus is on safety, reliability and care for your belongings and property. While a basic man-and-van may appear cheaper initially, choosing a professional team greatly reduces the risk of damage, delays and hidden costs later on.
For weekends and month-end dates, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, as these slots fill quickly. For midweek or smaller jobs, a few days’ notice is often enough, although more notice gives you a better choice of times. If your dates are uncertain, we can pencil you in and confirm once your plans are fixed. We also keep some flexibility for urgent moves, so even if it is last minute, it is still worth getting in touch to see what we can do.
At Man and Van Coulsdon, our removal van service is designed for safe, stress-free moves across Coulsdon and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience, we combine local knowledge, practical planning and careful handling to move your belongings efficiently and securely.
Our removal vans are fully equipped for all sizes of move, from a single room to a full family home or busy office. Every job is carried out by a trained, uniformed, professional team who know how to protect your furniture, manage awkward access, and keep everything organised from start to finish.
We work to clear, agreed timings, keep you informed on the day, and ensure your items arrive exactly where you want them in your new property.
Working daily in Coulsdon means we understand local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts. We regularly handle moves in flats along Brighton Road, family homes in Old Coulsdon, and offices near Coulsdon Town and Coulsdon South stations.
This local knowledge helps us plan realistic arrival times, arrange parking in advance where needed, and choose the best vehicle size and route for your move. It all adds up to fewer delays and a smoother experience on moving day.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of the area, we provide a structured, well-managed move with proper protection for furniture, appliances and personal items.
Ideal for flat and house moves with stairs, tight hallways and limited parking. We can help disassemble and reassemble basic furniture and keep your landlord happy by protecting walls, doors and floors during the move.
We offer reliable removal van services for tenancy changeovers, clearances of unwanted furniture, and moving furniture between properties, all carried out by professional, respectful teams.
From small offices to retail spaces, our vans and crews can move desks, IT equipment, stock and files in a planned way that keeps downtime to a minimum. We can work out of hours when required.
Perfect for term-time moves to and from halls or shared houses. We offer cost-effective transport for boxes, bags, small furniture and tech, with the same fully insured cover as larger moves.
For safety and insurance reasons, we generally cannot transport:
If you are unsure about any item, just ask – we will advise on what we can safely and legally move, and suggest alternatives where needed.
You contact us with details of your move – addresses, property type, key items, and preferred date. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume, access, distance and any extra services you may need, such as packing.
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a quick survey. This can be done virtually via video call or in person. We confirm what needs moving, check access and stairways, and identify any delicate or heavy items that need special handling. This ensures we send the right sized van and team.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a professional packing service. We supply appropriate materials – boxes, tape, bubble wrap, paper, mattress covers – and label everything carefully. Furniture is wrapped and protected, and we can dismantle simple items like bed frames and tables where required.
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and key doorways where necessary, and loads your belongings in a safe, logical order. Everything is secured in the van to prevent movement in transit. We then transport your goods directly to your new address, using sensible routes and driving carefully at all times.
At your new property, we unload room by room, placing items where you want them and reassembling any agreed furniture. We take away our packing materials and leave you with a tidy, usable space so you can start settling in straight away.
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will usually be based on:
You will receive a written confirmation of the price and what is included. If your circumstances change before moving day, tell us as early as possible so we can adjust the plan and cost fairly.
Hiring your own van and doing it yourself can look cheaper on paper, but often leads to multiple trips, damaged items and a very long, stressful day. With Man and Van Coulsdon you get:
This reduces risk of injury, avoids damage to your property and belongings, and usually gets the job done faster and more efficiently than a DIY approach.
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to clear, professional standards. Our services include:
We are happy to explain our cover in detail and provide proof of insurance on request, so you know exactly how your belongings are protected.
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture and key items are wrapped or covered, boxes are stacked safely, and fragile pieces are handled with particular care. We plan lift and carry routes to avoid damaging walls, bannisters and floors.
Where possible, we reuse strong cartons, protective blankets and reusable covers to reduce waste. Any new packaging materials we supply are chosen with durability and recyclability in mind. We also plan routes sensibly to cut unnecessary mileage and emissions.
From small flats to larger family homes, we handle full household moves, often coordinating with estate agents and key collection times. We can manage everything from packing to final placement of furniture.
We move offices, shops and small business units, transporting desks, chairs, IT equipment and stock. Moves can be scheduled outside normal working hours to minimise disruption to staff and customers.
Sometimes moves cannot wait – last-minute tenancy changes, emergency clearances or urgent transfers. Subject to availability, we can provide a rapid response removal van service, keeping you informed at every step.
The cost depends on how much you are moving, the distance between properties, access at each address and the level of service you require. Smaller flat or student moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while full house or office moves are usually priced with a fixed quote. We will ask a few questions, or carry out a brief survey, then give you a clear price with no hidden extras. This way you know exactly what you are paying before you commit.
Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves, especially for smaller loads or local jobs within Coulsdon and nearby areas. Availability depends on our booking schedule and the size of your move, so the earlier you contact us, the better. If we can fit you in, we will confirm a realistic arrival window and service level. If we are fully booked, we will always be honest and, where possible, suggest alternative dates or options.
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being handled and transported by us, subject to our terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. We will explain what is and is not covered, including any limits or exclusions, before you book. For particularly high-value or unusual items, we may suggest additional declarations or specialist cover to ensure everything is fully protected.
Our standard service includes a suitable removal van, a trained team of movers, loading, safe transport and unloading at your new address. We protect furniture, secure your belongings in the van, and place items in the rooms you choose. Optional extras include packing, supply of packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of basic furniture, and disposal of unwanted items by prior arrangement. All inclusions are clearly listed in your written quote so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
Many informal man-and-van services offer simple transport only, often without proper insurance, planning or equipment. Our service is a professional removals operation with trained staff, fully insured vehicles, documented processes and reliable scheduling. We carry the right tools and protection for your furniture, complete surveys where appropriate, and provide written confirmation of costs and booking details. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays, and unpleasant surprises on moving day.
For most house or office moves, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday, weekend or at the end of the month when demand is highest. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change. If your timescale is tight, contact us as soon as you have a likely moving window. We will do our best to accommodate you and keep some flexibility around your final date where possible.
At Man and Van Coulsdon, we provide reliable, well-organised removal services across Coulsdon and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving families, businesses and students, we know how to handle every stage of your move safely, efficiently and with minimum stress.
Our removals team is locally based in Coulsdon, so we understand the area, traffic patterns and access issues on residential streets and local business parks. Whether you are moving within Coulsdon, elsewhere in London or further across the UK, we plan your move carefully and keep you informed from start to finish.
Every job is carried out by a trained, uniformed team using suitable vehicles, protective equipment and the right tools. We are fully insured, punctual and clear in our communication, so you always know exactly what is happening with your move.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating for work, we handle full house removals in Coulsdon and beyond. From careful packing of fragile items to safely moving bulky furniture, we take care of the heavy lifting while you focus on the rest of your move.
If you are moving between rented properties, we can help with anything from a small flat to a full family home. We are used to dealing with tight staircases, limited parking and building rules, and we aim to leave your old place clear and tidy to support smooth check-outs.
Our team regularly supports landlords with tenant changeovers, end-of-tenancy clear moves and part-removals. We can remove unwanted furniture, move items into storage, or transfer furnishings between properties efficiently and with minimal disruption to neighbours.
We provide organised office and commercial removals for businesses in Coulsdon, from small offices to larger multi-floor sites. Our professional teams can dismantle and reassemble desks, move IT equipment with care and work outside normal hours where required to minimise downtime.
Students moving to or from Coulsdon benefit from our smaller-load options. Whether you are moving a room’s worth of belongings to university halls, storage, or back home, we offer cost-effective, carefully handled moves to fit student budgets and timetables.
Our removal services cover most household and office items, including:
For safety and insurance reasons, there are some items we normally cannot transport, including:
If you are unsure about any item, just ask during your enquiry and we will advise on the safest approach.
You can contact us by phone, email or our online form with basic details of your move: addresses, property size, access information and preferred dates. We will discuss your requirements, timescales and any special items such as pianos or large wardrobes. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included.
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a short survey. This can be carried out virtually using video or onsite in Coulsdon, depending on your preference. The survey allows us to check access, parking, number of items, staircases, lifts and any dismantling needed. This step ensures we allocate the right size vehicle and team, avoiding delays on moving day.
We offer both packing services and a move-only option. If you choose packing, our trained team arrives with suitable boxes, wrapping materials and tape to pack your belongings securely. Fragile items are wrapped and boxed carefully, furniture is protected with covers and, where needed, we can dismantle larger items ready for transport. If you are packing yourself, we can supply materials and guidance.
On moving day, we arrive at the agreed time, walk through the property with you and begin loading. Furniture is protected, items are handled with care, and the van is packed methodically to prevent movement in transit. We use appropriate lifting techniques and equipment to protect both your belongings and our team. Once loaded, we head straight to your new address or storage facility, keeping you updated if there are any delays en route.
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify, so you are not left with everything in one place. Where agreed, we can reassemble furniture that was dismantled and position items such as beds, wardrobes and desks. Before we leave, we check you are happy with the placement and that everything we loaded has been delivered safely.
We believe in straightforward, honest pricing. Our quotes are based on:
All costs are clearly set out in advance, with no hidden extras. If your requirements change, we will explain any price adjustments before confirming. Our goal is to provide good value, professional removals rather than the cheapest, corner-cutting option.
Moving yourself or relying on a casual man-with-a-van can seem cheaper, but it often leads to damaged belongings, injuries or unexpected delays. With Man and Van Coulsdon you get:
In many cases, using a professional service reduces the overall stress and risk, especially when handling valuable or bulky items or when you are working to tight completion deadlines.
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our services include:
We operate with clear terms and conditions, agreed with you before the move. Where necessary, we can provide documentation for your records or for business compliance purposes.
We treat every move as if it were our own. Furniture is covered, delicate surfaces are protected, and items are handled with care at every stage. We aim to minimise the risk of scuffs or marks to walls and floors, particularly in newly decorated properties.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible, we re-use strong, clean packing materials and can collect boxes for re-use after your move. We plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage and encourage responsible disposal or recycling of unwanted items, rather than sending everything to landfill.
Typical house moves in Coulsdon involve anything from one-bedroom flats to large family homes. We have experience with local roads and parking restrictions and can coordinate with estate agents or key release timings to keep your moving day on track.
For businesses, time is money. We work with you to plan your move outside core hours where possible, ensuring staff can get back to work quickly. From relocating a few desks to moving an entire office floor, we label and position items so your new workspace is ready to use.
Sometimes moves happen at short notice: relationship changes, urgent landlord requirements or sudden job relocations. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day removal services in Coulsdon. We move quickly but still maintain care and organisation throughout.
The cost of a removal in Coulsdon depends on several factors: the size of your property, volume of belongings, distance between addresses, access and whether you require packing. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while full house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear written quote with everything included, so you know exactly what you will pay before you book.
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Coulsdon, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. If your plans have changed suddenly or another mover has let you down, contact us as soon as possible with your details. We will check vehicle and team availability, then advise what is realistically achievable. While advance booking is always best, we understand that not every move comes with much notice and we do our best to assist.
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties during the move. There are standard exclusions and limits, which we are happy to explain before you book. We always recommend you inform us about any particularly high-value items so we can discuss the best way to protect them.
Our standard removal service includes supplying a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading at your current address, transport to your new property and unloading into the rooms you specify. We protect furniture and handle items with care. Optional extras include packing, unpacking, dismantling and reassembling furniture, supplying packing materials and short-term storage. All included services are clearly listed in your quote, so you can see exactly what you are getting.
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport and some lifting, but may not be fully insured, trained or properly equipped. Our removals service is a structured, professional operation: we survey where needed, plan the move, use appropriate vehicles and protective equipment and provide documented insurance cover. We work to agreed times, offer packing and furniture handling, and are accountable for the full process. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute problems on moving day.
Ideally, you should book your removal in Coulsdon as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you are moving at the end of the month or during school holidays. One to three weeks’ notice is typical for most home moves, while larger office relocations may need longer planning. However, we understand that dates can change, so we remain as flexible as possible. If your move is urgent, still get in touch – we will help if we can.
At Man and Van Coulsdon we provide secure, flexible storage solutions for homes and businesses across Coulsdon and the surrounding areas. Whether you’re between properties, renovating, downsizing or clearing space at work, we offer safe, professionally managed storage with convenient collection and delivery.
Our storage service is designed for people who want their belongings looked after properly – collected, protected, stored and returned by a professional, fully insured removals team. We combine our established removals expertise with secure storage facilities to give you a complete door-to-door solution.
We handle everything from a few boxes through to full house contents or complete office moves into storage. You choose how long you store for – short-term or long-term – and we tailor our service to suit your needs and budget.
As a locally based company, we know Coulsdon’s streets, estates and business parks inside out. This local knowledge means efficient access, better parking planning and smoother collections and deliveries, even on tight or busy roads.
We regularly provide storage for clients in Coulsdon, Old Coulsdon, Chipstead, Purley and surrounding areas, and we’re used to working with managing agents, landlords and building contractors in the area. If you need storage linked to a local move, we can coordinate timings so everything runs cleanly from door to store and back again.
Ideal if you’re in a property chain, staging your home for sale, renovating, or moving abroad and need a safe place for furniture and personal effects. We can store entire households or selected rooms.
Perfect for short gaps between tenancies, relocating for work, or house-sharing changes. We collect from your flat or house, store for as long as you need, and deliver to your next address when you’re ready.
We support landlords needing short-term storage for furniture during refurbishments, end-of-tenancy clear-outs, or when converting from furnished to unfurnished (or vice versa). We can also help with partial clearances into storage during repairs.
Our storage is used by offices, shops, trades and charities for archived files, surplus stock, seasonal items, display materials and furniture. We offer regular access arrangements and can bring items back to you as needed.
Students in and around Coulsdon use our storage between terms, gap years or work placements. We can collect from halls or shared houses, store securely over the break and deliver back next term.
We can safely store most typical household and business items, including:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons we cannot store:
If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll advise honestly and help you find a safe alternative where possible.
You contact us with brief details of what you need to store, where from and for how long. We’ll ask about access, item list and dates. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote covering collection, storage and eventual redelivery if required.
For larger volumes, entire homes or commercial storage, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess volume accurately, check access (stairs, lifts, parking) and understand any special requirements. Accurate surveying avoids surprises on the day and ensures the right vehicle, team and materials are planned.
On the agreed date, our trained team arrives with protective materials. We can offer:
Furniture is wrapped in transit blankets or specialist covers and, where appropriate, dismantled for safer storage.
We load your items carefully onto our vehicles using professional handling techniques. Everything is secured for transport and moved directly to our storage facility. Because we handle both the removals and storage, there’s no double-handling by casual labour, reducing the risk of damage.
At the storage facility, your goods are unloaded, checked and placed into a dedicated unit or container. Items are stored clean, dry and off the floor where appropriate. When you’re ready, we simply reverse the process and deliver back to your home or office, placing items in the rooms you specify.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Your quote will usually include:
Costs depend on how much you store, how long for, access conditions and any additional services such as packing or dismantling. We’ll always explain your options, suggest ways to minimise volume, and confirm all charges in writing before you book.
Using a professional storage and removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or hiring an unregulated man-and-van:
For anything more than a few cheap items, professional storage generally works out better value when you consider time, effort, potential damage and lack of protection with informal options.
Your belongings are protected from collection to storage and back again. We provide:
Our teams are trained in safe lifting, packing and handling, and we follow recognised removals-industry best practice. We are committed to punctuality, clear communication and respectful conduct in your home or workplace.
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped and secured, fragile items are cushioned and clearly marked, and we keep storage areas clean and dry. Where possible we use reusable protective materials and durable crates, reducing single-use plastics and waste.
We plan efficient routes and consolidate trips where we can to cut unnecessary mileage. When decluttering into storage turns into long-term disposal decisions, we can help arrange responsible recycling and charity donations rather than simple landfill.
If your sale and purchase dates don’t line up, we can move you out, store everything safely, and deliver to your new home when the keys are ready. This avoids last-minute panic and temporary accommodation full of boxes.
Businesses use our storage during office moves, refits or downsizing. We can hold surplus desks, filing and equipment until you decide what to keep, sell or dispose of, helping you maintain a tidy, safe working environment during changes.
Life doesn’t always give much warning. When you need space quickly – relationship changes, urgent repairs, insurance works or unexpected tenancy issues – we do our best to offer prompt collection and short-notice storage solutions, subject to availability.
Costs depend mainly on how much you store, how long for and how easy the access is at your property. We quote separately for collection, storage and redelivery so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. As a guide, smaller loads and short terms are surprisingly affordable, while full-house contents stored for several months will be more. We’ll ask a few questions or carry out a quick survey, then provide a clear written quote with no hidden charges.
Where we have vehicle, crew and storage space available, we can often help at short notice, including same-day in Coulsdon and nearby areas. Urgent bookings work best if you can give us a realistic list of items and flexible timing within the day. We always prioritise safety and proper packing, even when things are time-pressured, so we won’t cut corners. Contact us as early as possible and we’ll let you know honestly what we can do and when.
Yes, your goods are protected while we transport and store them, subject to our policy terms and the value you declare. We provide goods in transit insurance during moves and storage cover when items are in our care. We’ll explain the standard limits, any exclusions and how to declare higher values if needed. Insurance works alongside proper packing and handling, so we always recommend using our packing service for fragile or high-value items for maximum protection.
Our standard storage service includes collection by a professional team, careful loading, secure storage in a clean, dry facility and redelivery when you’re ready. You can add services such as packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, supply of boxes and materials, and help with light positioning on return. We also provide basic inventories for larger consignments so you know what’s in store. We’ll agree exactly what’s included in writing before you book, so there are no surprises later on.
With us you get an end-to-end service: trained staff, proper packing, collection, storage and redelivery under one roof. A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with no storage facility, limited protection and no formal insurance. Self-storage means doing all the lifting and moving yourself. Our approach is usually safer and more convenient, especially for larger or more valuable loads, because we take responsibility for the handling, protection and secure storage throughout.
For planned moves or refurbishments, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance to guarantee your preferred dates and allow time for surveys and packing. That said, we understand that circumstances change quickly, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule and storage capacity allow. The more notice you can give us, the better we can plan and the more options we can offer, especially at busy times of year such as summer and month-ends.
Careful, organised packing is the difference between a smooth move and a stressful one. At Man and Van Coulsdon, our dedicated Packing and Boxes service is designed to protect your belongings, save you time, and make moving day in Coulsdon as straightforward as possible.
We provide a complete packing solution for homes and businesses in and around Coulsdon. From supplying strong boxes and packing materials to carefully wrapping and labelling every item, our trained team handles the hard work so you don’t have to.
Whether you’re moving a studio flat, a family home, a small office or just a few precious items, we tailor our service to suit your move, schedule and budget.
Working across Coulsdon every day means we understand local properties, access issues and parking limitations. From flats near Coulsdon Town station to family houses on the hills, we plan your packing around your property layout and moving route.
Our local knowledge allows us to:
If you’re selling in Coulsdon and want your move handled with care, we can pack your entire home or just key areas like the kitchen and fragile items, ensuring everything is ready on completion day.
Moving between rented properties often means strict check-out times. We help renters pack quickly and neatly, protecting deposits by avoiding damage during the move and keeping the property tidy as you leave.
For landlords needing a property cleared and packed after a tenancy, we offer organised packing, inventory-style labelling and secure boxing of remaining items so they can be stored, moved or disposed of appropriately.
Offices, shops and small businesses in Coulsdon benefit from our structured packing for files, IT, stock and equipment. We minimise downtime with clear labelling and a systematic approach, so you can get back to work quickly.
Students moving into or out of Coulsdon accommodation can use our cost-effective packing and boxes support for term-time or end-of-year moves, including partial packing for books, clothes, PCs and personal items.
We can provide a full packing service or part packing service depending on your needs.
For safety and legal reasons, some items are not normally packed by our team:
We are happy to advise how you can safely pack and transport sensitive or high-value items yourself.
Contact Man and Van Coulsdon with a brief overview of your property, number of rooms and approximate move date. We’ll discuss your packing requirements, timescales and any fragile or unusual items, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote for packing and boxes.
For larger moves, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to estimate box quantities accurately, identify access issues and plan any special packing needs. Surveys also help us schedule the right size team so your packing is completed on time.
On the agreed day, our professional packers arrive with all materials. We systematically work through each room, wrapping items and using appropriate boxes. Everything is labelled clearly by room and content description, making both loading and unpacking far easier.
If we are also handling your move, our removals team coordinates with the packers so boxes are safely loaded into the vehicle in a logical order. Fragile, heavy and bulky items are placed securely to minimise movement during transport.
At your new property, boxes are delivered to the correct rooms according to their labels. Where agreed, we can assist with basic unpacking of essential items, removal of used boxes and a quick check that everything has arrived safely.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our packing and boxes quotes typically include:
Prices are based on the volume of items, number of rooms, level of fragility and whether you choose full or part packing. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional costs, such as last-minute changes or extra materials, are discussed openly before you commit.
Many people start packing themselves, then realise how long it takes and how quickly cheap boxes fail. Choosing a professional packing service offers several advantages:
While a casual man-and-van may offer basic help, they rarely provide the structured packing, quality materials and fully insured cover that a professional removals company like Man and Van Coulsdon can offer.
We take our responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:
Where we provide a full packing service, this often strengthens the protection offered by insurance, because items have been prepared and boxed by experienced professionals following agreed standards.
We focus on protecting both your belongings and the environment:
We are always happy to take back reusable boxes after your move, helping to reduce waste and support a more sustainable approach to moving.
For families upsizing or downsizing in Coulsdon, we can pack the entire property ahead of moving day, often over one or two days, leaving only essentials for you to handle.
When local businesses move, we pack desks, files and equipment in an organised way, so your new office can be set up quickly and efficiently with minimal disruption.
If you’ve had a late exchange of contracts or an unexpected change of tenancy date, our packing and boxes team can step in on short notice, subject to availability, to get everything ready in time.
The cost depends mainly on the size of your property, the number of rooms and how much you want us to pack. A small flat needing part packing will cost less than a full-house pack for a large family home. Our quotes include labour, boxes and standard packing materials, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. After a brief discussion or survey, we’ll give you a clear, itemised quote with no obligation and no hidden extras.
We can often help with urgent or short-notice packing in Coulsdon, especially outside peak periods, but it depends on team availability and the scale of the job. If you need last-minute help, contact us as soon as possible with your dates, property size and key priorities. We’ll be honest about what we can realistically achieve, and may suggest a focused part-packing service (such as kitchen and fragile items) if there is limited time.
Yes. Our service includes goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they’re being moved, and public liability cover for work on your premises. Where we provide a full, professional packing service, this can strengthen the position should there be any claim, as items have been prepared by trained staff. We are happy to explain the cover in detail and advise on any particularly high-value items that may need separate or specialist insurance.
Our service can be tailored to you, but typically includes supply of quality boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap and tape, plus the labour of a professional packing team. We sort, wrap, box and label your belongings by room and category. We normally exclude hazardous, perishable and very high-value personal items, but we can advise how best to handle those. If we’re also carrying out your move, packing is fully coordinated with loading and unloading for a smooth overall service.
A basic man-and-van may move your items, but usually won’t offer structured, fully managed packing with proper materials or fully insured cover. Our packing and boxes service is carried out by experienced, trained staff using professional-grade materials, clear labelling and careful loading plans. We also hold goods in transit and public liability insurance. The result is fewer breakages, better organisation and a much less stressful moving experience, especially for larger or more complex moves.
Ideally, book as soon as you have a likely move date, particularly if you’re moving at busy times such as weekends or month-end. For average-sized properties, we usually carry out packing one or two days before your move. Booking early gives us time to plan, conduct a survey if needed, and reserve the right size team. However, if your dates change or you need last-minute help, still get in touch – we’ll always do our best to fit you in.
At Man and Van Coulsdon, we provide reliable, carefully planned office removals throughout Coulsdon and the surrounding areas. Whether you are moving a small team or an entire floor of staff, we focus on minimising downtime and keeping your business running smoothly.
Our office removals service is designed around how businesses actually operate. We plan moves outside core hours where possible, protect your equipment, and keep disruption to a minimum. Every move is handled by a trained, professional crew who understand commercial environments and building regulations.
From dismantling workstations to moving filing cabinets, IT equipment and archives, we coordinate each step so you and your staff know exactly what will happen and when.
Although this page focuses on offices, our structured approach works for a wide range of clients in Coulsdon:
Whatever your setup, we adjust the planning, vehicle size and team numbers to suit your premises, access and timescales.
Being a local firm, we know Coulsdon’s roads, parking restrictions and building layouts well. This practical knowledge makes a real difference on moving day. We know where access is tight, which streets can be busy at certain times, and how to coordinate with building management for lift bookings and loading bay use.
Our local office removals cover central Coulsdon and neighbouring areas, helping businesses relocate within the town or to nearby business hubs without unnecessary delays or complications.
For safety, licensing and insurance reasons, there are some items we typically do not transport, including:
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during the survey stage and, if needed, suggest a suitable specialist service.
We follow a clear, step-by-step process so you can coordinate your staff, IT support and building management around a known timetable.
You contact us with details of your current office, destination, key dates and any time restrictions. We ask relevant questions about access, floors, lifts and parking. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation explaining what is included so you can budget accurately.
For most office moves, we recommend a survey. This can be virtual (video walk-through) or onsite. We measure larger items, assess access routes, and note any fragile or high-value equipment. The survey allows us to plan vehicle sizes, number of trained movers and any specialist handling equipment, reducing the risk of surprises on the day.
Depending on your needs, we can offer:
We label crates and furniture by room, team or department so everything ends up in the right place at the new premises.
On move day, our professional team arrive on time, protect floors and walls where needed, and systematically dismantle and load furniture. We use padded covers, straps and trolleys to safeguard your equipment. Your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while in our vehicles.
At the new office, we place furniture and crates according to your agreed floor plan. We can reassemble desks and standard office furniture, position IT equipment ready for your technicians, and ensure key areas such as reception and meeting rooms are usable as quickly as possible.
We price office removals in Coulsdon based on:
Our quotes are clear and itemised, so you can see what you are paying for. We do not hide extra charges for standard equipment or normal access conditions, and we always explain in advance if something is likely to incur additional time or cost.
Office moves are more complex than shifting a few boxes. Using a professional office removals team brings several advantages over DIY or an informal man-and-van:
In practice, this means fewer breakages, less disruption to your staff and a smoother transition to your new office.
Man and Van Coulsdon operates to clear, professional standards so your business assets are protected:
We can provide proof of insurance and any risk assessment details your building management may require before authorising the move.
We treat your office equipment as if it were our own. Our teams use blankets, covers, straps and floor protection where appropriate, and take care around walls, doors and lifts. For packing, we favour reusable plastic crates and durable materials wherever possible, helping reduce waste compared with single-use cardboard and tape.
Where boxes are used, we encourage reuse and responsible recycling. Route planning is carried out sensibly to minimise unnecessary mileage and fuel use within Coulsdon and beyond.
The cost depends mainly on the size of your office, the amount of furniture and equipment, access at both sites and whether you need packing services. Smaller office moves within Coulsdon can often be completed in a day with a modest budget, while larger multi-floor relocations require more crew and vehicles. After a short discussion and, if needed, a survey, we provide a clear, written quote outlining what is included. There are no hidden extras for standard moves, and we always explain any potential additional costs in advance.
Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate short-notice or urgent office removals. Availability will depend on the size of your move and our existing bookings. If you need to move quickly due to a lease issue or unexpected circumstances, contact us as soon as possible with your dates, locations and a rough overview of what needs moving. We will advise honestly whether a same-day or rapid move is feasible and, if so, how we can structure it to minimise disruption.
Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for work in and around buildings. This gives reassurance to you, your landlord and building management. Insurance is not a substitute for careful handling, so our teams are also trained in safe lifting and protection methods. If your business has specific insurance requirements, we can supply documentation for your records or for inclusion in any internal risk assessments.
Our standard office removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, equipment and packed items between the agreed addresses. We provide the vehicle, professional moving team, basic protection materials and standard tools for dismantling and reassembling common office furniture. Optional extras include packing services, supply of crates or boxes, and out-of-hours moves. During the quotation and survey stages, we clarify exactly what is included so there is no confusion on the day and you can plan staff responsibilities around us.
While a casual man-and-van may be suitable for a few items, an office move usually demands more structure and protection. We offer scheduled arrival times, detailed planning, trained staff, appropriate equipment, and full insurance cover. Our team are used to working in commercial buildings, coordinating with reception staff, following loading rules and protecting shared areas. In short, you get a managed service rather than just transport, reducing the risk of delays, damage or issues with building management.
For most office removals in Coulsdon, booking 2–4 weeks in advance is ideal, especially if you need a specific date or weekend move. This gives us time to carry out a survey, plan vehicle allocation and ensure the right size team is available. Larger relocations may benefit from even more notice so we can coordinate detailed timings with your IT, facilities and building management teams. However, if you have a shorter timescale, still get in touch – we will always check current availability and see what is realistically achievable.
At Man and Van Coulsdon, our man with a van service is run by experienced, fully insured movers who handle everything from a single bulky item to a full flat or small house move. We combine the flexibility of a man-and-van with the standards of a professional removals company.
Our service is designed for moves in and around Coulsdon, across Greater London, Surrey, and nationwide when needed. You get a trained driver–porter and a modern, clean van equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys.
Typical man with a van jobs we carry out:
Every move includes careful loading, protection of your belongings, and safe transport by a professional, experienced local driver.
Being based in Coulsdon means we know the local area, roads and parking restrictions extremely well. From tight access roads off Chipstead Valley Road to flats near Coulsdon Town and Coulsdon South stations, we plan the route and parking so your move runs smoothly.
We regularly work with Coulsdon and surrounding postcodes, including Purley, Caterham, Kenley, Chipstead and Old Coulsdon. This local knowledge helps us give accurate time estimates and realistic advice on the best time of day to move, where we can park, and any access issues to consider.
Ideal if you are moving from or to a smaller house, downsizing, or just need a professional team for the bulky or fragile items while you handle the boxes yourself. We can often complete local moves in a single trip with the right van size.
Perfect for flat and house moves in and out of Coulsdon. We are used to stairs, lifts, tight hallways and timed building access. We work carefully to avoid damage to walls and communal areas, helping you leave the property in good condition for your landlord or letting agent.
We regularly assist landlords who need a fast, tidy removal of furniture or belongings between tenancies. Whether it’s clearing out a flat, moving furniture to storage, or setting up a furnished let, our man with a van team works efficiently and respectfully.
Small offices, shops, salons and studios often prefer the flexibility of our service. We move desks, stock, shelving and equipment, and can schedule work outside normal hours to keep disruption to a minimum.
Students moving between Coulsdon, London and university cities benefit from a cost-effective, reliable service. We’re used to shared-house access, halls of residence and tight schedules, and can combine moves to keep costs sensible.
If you are unsure about a specific item, just ask during your enquiry and we will confirm whether we can move it safely and within our insurance terms.
You contact us with your move details: addresses, rough inventory, dates and any access information. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on time, distance, manpower and any extra services you may need.
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a quick video or phone survey. This helps us choose the right van size, confirm how many movers you need and spot any access challenges (stairs, parking, low ceilings). For more complex jobs, we can arrange an onsite visit in Coulsdon or nearby.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service at an agreed extra cost. We advise on labelling boxes, dismantling certain items and preparing appliances. On moving day we bring blankets, straps, tools and basic floor protection as standard.
Our trained team loads your belongings in a logical, secure order, protecting furniture with blankets and securing everything with straps. We drive carefully, following the agreed route and timings. For local Coulsdon moves, journey time is usually short, reducing the total time you pay for.
At the destination, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble basic furniture by prior agreement and help position heavier pieces so you are not left struggling after we leave. We finish with a quick walk-through to ensure nothing has been missed.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Most man with a van jobs are charged on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For some moves we can agree a fixed price once we have full details.
Your quote will usually factor in:
Parking charges and congestion/ULEZ fees (if applicable) are always explained in advance. We will advise on how you can keep costs down, for example by being fully packed and ready, or reserving parking where possible.
Hiring a professional man with a van service gives you more than just a vehicle. You get experience, the right equipment, and insurance-backed protection. DIY moves often take far longer, risk damage to belongings or property, and can result in injury from lifting heavy items incorrectly.
With Man and Van Coulsdon, you benefit from:
In short, you save time, reduce stress and significantly lower the risk of damage or injury.
We operate to the standards you would expect from a professional removals company, not a casual side-line.
Policy details and limits are available on request. We encourage customers to mention any particularly high-value items so we can ensure they are appropriately covered and handled.
We treat every move as if it were our own belongings being transported. Furniture is wrapped in blankets, loads are strapped securely, and we take care not to mark walls, floors or doors at either property.
We also aim to work in an environmentally responsible way by:
When disposing of unwanted items, we can advise on responsible options such as charity donation or licensed recycling centres.
Ideal for studio, one- and two-bedroom moves where you want a quicker, more flexible alternative to a large removals crew. We can manage everything in one or more trips depending on volume and distance.
From micro-offices to small retail spaces, our team moves furniture, stock and equipment carefully and efficiently. We can often schedule evening or weekend moves to minimise disruption to your trading hours.
Sometimes moves arise at short notice – a last-minute completion, landlord request or urgent collection. Where we have availability, we offer same-day or next-day service in Coulsdon and surrounding areas. Calling as early as possible gives the best chance of securing a slot.
Costs depend mainly on time, distance, how many movers you need and the size of van required. Smaller local moves are usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger jobs can sometimes be priced as a fixed quote. To give an accurate price we need a brief inventory, the addresses, dates and any access details (stairs, parking, long walks). We will then provide a clear, itemised estimate so you know exactly what is included and how to keep costs down.
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Coulsdon and nearby areas, depending on availability. The earlier you contact us, the more likely we are to have a suitable slot and van size available. For urgent work, having a clear inventory, photos and flexible timing helps us respond quickly. There may be a minimum charge or slightly higher rate for very short-notice bookings, which we will always explain before you confirm.
Yes. Our man with a van service includes goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are on our vehicle and in our care, and public liability cover for work at your property. These policies are designed to protect against unforeseen issues such as accidents in transit. We still handle everything carefully to minimise any risk. If you have particularly high-value or unusual items, please let us know in advance so we can confirm cover details and take any extra precautions needed.
You get a professional driver–porter, a suitable van equipped with blankets, straps and a trolley, safe loading and unloading, and transport between your addresses. We place items into the rooms you specify and can dismantle or reassemble basic furniture by prior agreement. Packing, materials and storage are not automatically included but can be added if required. Parking charges or congestion/ULEZ fees, where applicable, are always discussed in advance so you have a complete picture of what you are paying for.
A man with a van is usually more flexible and cost-effective for smaller moves, single items and short local jobs, while a full removals service is designed for larger house or office moves with more crew, multiple vehicles and full packing options. Our service sits between the two: you get a trained, fully insured team with proper equipment, but without the overheads of a large removals crew when you do not need it. We can advise which option suits your situation best.
For weekends, month-end and peak moving periods, we recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. For quieter midweek slots, a few days’ notice is often enough. We do keep some flexibility for short-notice and emergency moves, especially within Coulsdon and nearby areas, but availability can be limited. Once you know your likely date, it is wise to reserve a provisional slot, which we can adjust if your plans change.
At Man and Van Coulsdon, we provide a reliable, carefully managed removals service for households and businesses across Coulsdon and the surrounding Surrey and South London areas. With years of hands-on experience moving everything from studio flats to full offices, we understand how to plan and carry out a smooth, low-stress move.
We combine local knowledge with a professional approach: trained teams, fully insured vehicles, and clear communication from first enquiry to final box unloaded.
We offer a complete removals service tailored to your needs. Whether you are moving a few streets away in Coulsdon or across the UK, our aim is to protect your belongings, keep you informed, and keep your day running on time.
Our core services include:
Every move is planned around access, timing, and your specific priorities, so you know exactly what will happen and when.
Being a Coulsdon-based removals company means we know the local roads, parking restrictions, and typical property layouts extremely well. From narrow residential streets off the Brighton Road to larger properties on the outskirts, we plan routes and vehicle sizes to avoid unnecessary delays.
We regularly work in and around:
Our local knowledge helps us arrange parking, negotiate tight access, and keep your move running to schedule, even at busy times of day.
If you are buying or selling in Coulsdon, we coordinate with your completion times and work around chain delays as best we can. We are used to multi-bedroom family homes, garages, sheds and lofts, and we bring the right team size to finish the job in a single, well-organised day wherever possible.
For tenants moving between rented properties, we can help with moves that need to fit strict check-in and check-out times. We take extra care to protect floors and walls in both properties so you leave the old place in good condition and arrive at the new one without damage.
We support landlords with professional clearance and removals when tenants change, properties are refurbished, or furnished lets need to be set up. We can move furniture between properties or to storage and dispose of agreed unwanted items responsibly.
Our business removals service covers small to medium offices, shops, and local service premises. We work to minimise downtime, planning moves outside normal trading hours where required, and handling desks, IT, stock and archive materials carefully and systematically.
Students moving to or from Coulsdon benefit from a cost-effective, smaller-scale service for boxes, suitcases, and a few bits of furniture. We can collect from student accommodation, family homes, or storage facilities and deliver nationwide.
As a general rule, we can move most domestic and office contents, including:
For safety and insurance reasons, there are some items we cannot move, or can only move under certain conditions:
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will clarify it during the survey so there are no surprises on the day.
You contact us with basic details: addresses, property type, approximate contents, and your preferred moving date. We then provide an initial, no-obligation estimate. This gives you a clear idea of likely cost and what is included in our service.
For anything more than a very small move, we complete a survey, either via video call or in person. This allows us to assess access, parking, number of rooms, special items and any dismantling required. The survey enables us to provide a firm quotation and plan the right team, vehicle size and timings.
You can choose between doing your own packing or using our professional packing service. If we are packing, we typically arrive before moving day with sturdy boxes, tape, wrapping paper and bubble wrap, or we may pack on the same day for smaller moves. We label boxes clearly and protect fragile items carefully.
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and vulnerable areas, dismantles agreed furniture, and loads the vehicle in a logical order. Everything is secured within our fully insured removals vans. We then transport your belongings directly to your new property, following the planned route.
At your new address, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We reassemble dismantled furniture as agreed and position large pieces where you want them. Before we leave, we do a final walk-through with you to make sure everything that should be there is there, and that you are happy with the placement.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
For smaller moves, we may price on a fixed hourly rate with a minimum charge. For full house or office moves, we typically provide a fixed-price quotation so you know the total cost in advance. Any potential extra charges, such as congestion or parking fees, are explained before you book.
While hiring a van and doing it yourself can appear cheaper, it often comes with hidden costs, stress and risk. A professional removals company brings:
Compared with casual, unregulated man-and-van services, a reputable removals company gives you clearer agreements, reliable timings, and higher protection for your possessions.
We understand that you are trusting us with your household or business contents, often built up over many years. To protect you properly, we operate with:
We handle claims transparently in the rare event of an incident, and we are always happy to explain our coverage in detail before you book so you know exactly where you stand.
Our focus is on moving your belongings safely, with as little disruption as possible. We use removal blankets, mattress and sofa covers, and floor protection where necessary to prevent scuffs and marks. Fragile items receive special attention, and we plan the order of loading so that heavier pieces do not crush lighter ones.
We also aim to work in a more sustainable way by:
Small choices in planning and materials can make a meaningful difference over time.
Most of our work involves local house moves. For example, moving a family from a three-bedroom house in Old Coulsdon to a new build in central Coulsdon. We arrange a survey, provide packing if required, and complete the move in one well-organised day, coordinating our arrival with key collection times.
We also move small businesses relocating within Coulsdon or to nearby towns. Typical jobs involve packing files and IT equipment, moving desks and chairs, and setting up at the new premises ready for staff to return. We can work evenings or weekends to reduce downtime.
Life does not always run to a long-term plan. Where our schedule allows, we accommodate short-notice and urgent moves, such as tenants needing to leave unexpectedly or last-minute completion dates. We are honest about what we can realistically achieve and will not over-promise on timing.
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, volume of belongings, access, distance and any extra services such as packing. A small flat move locally may be charged on an hourly rate, while a larger house move is usually quoted as a fixed price after a survey. As a guide, local moves typically start from a few hundred pounds, with larger or longer-distance moves costing more. We always provide a clear, written quotation so you know exactly what is included before you decide.
We can often help with same-day or urgent moves, depending on existing bookings and crew availability. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as early as you can with full details so we can check our schedule, suggest realistic options, and confirm pricing. While we cannot guarantee availability on every date, we will always be honest about what we can do and may be able to offer partial help, such as moving key items first and the remainder later.
Yes, your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we hold public liability cover for work at your property. This provides protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage or loss due to our negligence. There are standard limits and exclusions, particularly for high-value or fragile items, which we are happy to explain in detail before you book. We always recommend that you also keep your own contents insurance in place until your move is fully completed.
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional removals team, loading, transport, unloading, and placing items into the rooms you choose. We also include basic protection such as blankets and straps, and dismantling of straightforward furniture where agreed in advance. Optional extras include full or partial packing, provision of packing materials, complex dismantling and reassembly, and short-term storage. When we quote, we list clearly what is covered so you can see exactly what you are paying for and add or remove services to suit your budget.
While a basic man-and-van service can be useful for very small or simple jobs, a removals company offers a more structured, secure and predictable service. We provide trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper equipment and a written quotation. We plan your move in detail, manage access and timings, protect your property, and take responsibility for your belongings from start to finish. For full house or office moves, this usually results in a smoother, faster and safer experience than relying on casual, ad-hoc transport.
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you are moving at the end of the month, during school holidays or on a Friday, when demand is higher. Many customers confirm their booking one to three weeks before moving day. However, we understand that dates can change, so we stay as flexible as possible and work with you around exchange and completion. If your date is still uncertain, we can provisionally hold a slot and confirm once everything is finalised.
At Man and Van Coulsdon we provide reliable, well-organised removals in Coulsdon for homes and businesses of all sizes. Every move is planned and carried out by an experienced, professional team who handle your belongings with care from first box to final placement.
Working across Coulsdon and the surrounding areas, we understand the local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts that can make a move straightforward or stressful. From flats near the station to family homes on residential streets and local business premises, we tailor our removals service to the specific needs of Coulsdon customers.
Our crews arrive on time, in clean, well-maintained vehicles, with the right equipment to complete your move safely and efficiently. We combine local knowledge with a structured process to keep your move on schedule.
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Coulsdon, we handle full house removals, including furniture, white goods, garden items and fragile possessions. We can also provide short or long-distance moves across the UK.
From studio flats to larger rented homes, we help tenants move with minimal disruption. We can work within tight time windows, protect walls and stairwells, and help ensure you leave the property in good condition for handover.
We assist landlords with tenant changeovers, part-removals, and clearance of unwanted items. Our team can remove furniture, appliances and general household items quickly and responsibly, helping you prepare the property for new occupants.
We support small and medium-sized businesses in Coulsdon with office removals, internal moves and relocations to new premises. We move desks, IT equipment, stock, filing and specialist items, working to agreed schedules to reduce downtime.
Students moving to or from Coulsdon benefit from our smaller-load service. We can move boxes, clothes, small furniture and study equipment between home, halls and shared houses, with flexible dates outside standard term times.
Our standard Coulsdon removals service can be tailored, but typically includes:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, the following are usually excluded:
If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll advise at the survey stage so there are no surprises on moving day.
Contact us by phone or online with your moving details. We’ll ask about property size, access, dates and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate for your Coulsdon removal, explaining what is and isn’t included.
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Coulsdon. We assess volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking), and note any fragile, bulky or unusual items, allowing us to allocate the right vehicle, team and time.
We offer two options: you pack, or we pack for you. If you choose our packing service, our trained staff use quality materials to protect your belongings, label boxes clearly and prepare everything for safe transit. If you’re packing yourself, we can supply boxes, tape and wrapping, and provide guidance on best practice.
On moving day, our team arrives at the agreed time, protects key areas of your home, and loads the vehicle carefully. Furniture is wrapped and secured, and boxes are stacked to avoid crushing. Your goods are then transported directly to your new property, with routes planned to minimise delay.
At the new address, we unload in an organised way, placing furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. If agreed, we reassemble basic furniture and position large items so you can settle in more quickly. Before leaving, we check that everything has been unloaded and placed where you want it.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
You won’t find hidden charges added on the day. All expected costs are explained in advance, and any potential extras are discussed before work begins. We’re happy to tailor our service to your budget, from a simple load-and-go to a full packing and moving package.
Using a professional removals company in Coulsdon offers important advantages over doing it yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van:
DIY moves often underestimate the time, effort and risk involved. A structured, insured service gives you peace of mind and a smoother move.
Your belongings are important, so we operate to clear, professional standards:
We’ll outline our cover and limits before the move so you know exactly where you stand. If you have particularly high-value items, we’ll discuss the best way to protect them and whether extra cover is required.
We take a careful, considered approach to every move:
We’re also working to reduce our environmental impact by reusing sturdy boxes where appropriate, recycling packaging materials, and planning efficient routes to cut unnecessary mileage and emissions. Our aim is to move your belongings safely while respecting both your property and the wider environment.
From small flats to large family homes, we manage complete household moves in and around Coulsdon. We coordinate timings with keys, parking and any building rules, aiming to make moving day as straightforward as possible.
For local businesses, we plan removals around your trading hours, including evenings or weekends by arrangement. We can move offices in phases, handle IT equipment with extra care, and ensure that workspaces are ready to use as quickly as possible at the new site.
When plans change suddenly – a chain completes earlier than expected, a tenancy ends, or emergency works are needed – we do our best to offer rapid support. Subject to availability, we can often provide same-day or next-day removals in Coulsdon for smaller or medium moves.
The cost depends on the size of your move, the distance travelled, access at each property and any additional services you choose, such as packing or furniture assembly. Smaller flat moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while full house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. After a short call and, where needed, a survey, we’ll provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras. We’re happy to explain how the price is built so you can adjust the service to suit your budget.
Same-day or very short-notice moves are sometimes possible, particularly for smaller loads, but they depend entirely on our schedule and vehicle availability. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as you can and we’ll let you know what we can realistically offer. Where we can’t manage a full removal on the same day, we may still be able to help with partial moves, priority items or temporary solutions to bridge the gap until a full service is available.
We provide goods in transit insurance for items while they are being moved, plus public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties during the job. These policies have limits and conditions, which we’re happy to talk through in plain language before you book. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional cover, detailed inventories or special packing arrangements to make sure everything is properly protected and documented throughout your move.
A standard service includes loading your belongings at the collection address, transporting them in a suitable vehicle, and unloading into the rooms you specify at your new property. We use blankets and straps to protect and secure items in transit. By prior agreement, we can also provide packing materials, a full or partial packing service, and basic disassembly/reassembly of furniture. Our quote will specify exactly what is included so you know in advance what to expect and can add or remove options as needed.
A casual man-and-van service often focuses on transport only, with limited planning, protection and accountability. Our removals service includes an organised survey, trained staff, appropriate equipment, and insurance that’s designed for household and office moves. We plan access, protect your belongings and property, and provide written terms so responsibilities are clear. This structured approach reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings, giving you a more reliable, predictable move than an informal arrangement can usually provide.
For the best choice of dates, especially at month-ends and Fridays, we recommend booking two to four weeks in advance for a typical home move. Larger house or office relocations may benefit from even more notice so surveys and planning can be completed calmly. That said, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change at short notice. If your plans are uncertain, get in touch early; we can pencil in provisional dates and adapt as your move becomes more definite.
