At Removals Switzerland, our man and van London service is designed for people who want the flexibility of a smaller move with the standards of a fully regulated removals company. You get an experienced driver, one or more trained movers, a suitable vehicle, and all the protection materials needed to move your belongings safely across London or the UK.
Whether you are moving a few items across town or undertaking a small flat or office move, we provide a reliable, punctual and fully insured service delivered by professionals who move people every day, not casual weekend drivers.
Ideal for partial house moves, taking items to storage, or moving large single items such as wardrobes, sofas and white goods. We can work alongside your main removals team or handle smaller moves entirely.
Perfect for studio, one-bed or two-bed flat moves where you don’t need a full-size removals crew. We can manage everything from packing and dismantling to reassembly at your new property, keeping disruption and stress to a minimum.
We regularly help landlords with furniture deliveries, end-of-tenancy clear-outs (non-waste), and moving items between properties. Our professional teams treat your properties respectfully and follow any building rules or time restrictions.
From moving a few desks to transporting IT equipment, samples, event materials or archive boxes, our man and van option provides flexible, cost-effective help for small commercial moves, office reshuffles and regular deliveries.
Students benefit from straightforward, budget-friendly moves between halls, shared houses and home. We’re used to tight staircases, restricted access and limited time slots, and we can supply boxes if you need them.
Our man and van teams can safely transport most household and office items, including:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded:
If you are unsure about any specific item, just ask – we will advise whether we can move it or suggest alternatives.
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with basic details: addresses, access information, dates and what you need to move. We’ll ask a few focused questions so we can recommend the right size vehicle, number of staff and an estimated time. You will receive a clear, written quote with no hidden extras.
For simple jobs, we can often assess everything from photos or a video call. For larger or more complex moves, we may recommend an onsite survey in London. This allows us to check parking, staircases, lifts and any restrictions, ensuring we arrive fully prepared on the day.
You can pack your own boxes, or choose our packing service where our team supplies materials and packs for you. On arrival, we protect key items with blankets and covers, and we can dismantle and reassemble standard furniture as agreed. Floors, bannisters and doors can be protected where needed.
Our trained movers load the van carefully, using professional techniques and securing everything with straps and blankets. We plan the route in advance, taking London traffic, access and any timing rules into account. During transport, your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance for your peace of mind.
At your destination, we unload and place items in the rooms you specify. Furniture that we dismantled is reassembled as agreed, and we’ll position larger items where you want them. Before we leave, we carry out a quick walk-through with you to confirm everything is in the right place and that you’re satisfied with the move.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing, especially for man and van work. Typically, we offer:
Your quote will confirm what is included: number of movers, size of vehicle, minimum booking time, travel time, possible congestion or parking charges, and any optional extras such as packing or materials. There are no surprise add-ons on the day – if something changes, we discuss it with you before proceeding.
Hiring a casual van and doing it yourself can seem cheaper, but often results in damage, delays and unnecessary stress. With Removals Switzerland you benefit from:
In short, you get the flexibility of a man and van with the reliability and accountability of a professional removals company.
We work to recognised industry standards and take our responsibilities seriously. Our service includes:
Policy details and limits are available on request. We are happy to explain exactly how cover works so you know where you stand before moving day.
We treat every move as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped in padded blankets, mattresses and sofas can be covered, and fragile items receive extra attention. We plan access routes through your property to avoid knocks and scuffs, and we work cleanly and respectfully at all times.
We also take sustainability seriously. Wherever possible we reuse durable packing materials, offer reusable crates for some moves, and plan our routes to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions. If you wish, we can collect used cartons in good condition for reuse or recycling after your move.
For smaller properties, our man and van service can handle your entire move in one or two trips. We manage everything from packing through to placing furniture in your new home, coordinating with building managers or concierge teams where needed.
Businesses use our man and van teams for internal office moves, relocating a few staff to another site, or transporting equipment to events. We can work out-of-hours or at weekends to reduce disruption to your operations.
Plans change, tenancies end suddenly, or items need to be moved quickly. Subject to availability, we can often provide same-day or next-day man and van support within London. Let us know the urgency and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Costs depend mainly on three factors: the size of vehicle, the number of movers required, and the total time needed from arrival to completion. For straightforward local jobs we usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while more defined moves between two addresses may be priced as a fixed quote. Additional services such as packing, materials and dismantling can be included if required. Once we understand your move, we provide a clear written estimate so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Yes, where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day and short-notice bookings within London. Availability depends on how busy we are, the size of vehicle and crew you need, and the distance involved. It is always best to call us as soon as you know you need help; we will check our diary and, if we cannot meet your exact time, we will suggest the closest available slot. For urgent work, having a clear list of items and access information ready helps us confirm quickly.
All man and van moves with Removals Switzerland are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded. In addition, we carry public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to property such as communal areas or neighbouring vehicles. As with any insurance, there are limits, exclusions and conditions, and we are happy to share full details before you book. We always recommend that particularly high-value or irreplaceable items are discussed with us in advance.
Our service includes a suitable van, fuel, an experienced driver and at least one trained mover as agreed. We provide standard protective equipment such as blankets and straps, and we handle loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and additional staff if you prefer not to lift. Your quote will list exactly what is included for your particular move so there is no ambiguity on the day.
A basic man-and-van is often just a driver with a vehicle, sometimes without proper insurance, training or equipment. Our man and van service combines the flexibility of that model with full removals company standards: trained staff, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover, proper planning, and reliable vehicles. We can also provide packing, furniture dismantling and additional crew. In essence, you receive a scaled-down professional removals service rather than a casual transport job, which significantly reduces risk and stress.
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at month-end and weekends, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. However, we know that smaller moves can be more fluid, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. If your dates are not fixed, we can note your preferred window and confirm closer to the time. The earlier we discuss your plans, the easier it is for us to allocate the right van and team for your move.
