At Man and Van New Cross, we provide reliable, carefully planned furniture removals across New Cross and the surrounding areas. As a local, experienced removals team, we understand the buildings, traffic patterns and access issues in SE14, which means a smoother, safer move for your furniture and belongings.
Our service is built around one simple aim: move your furniture safely, on time, and with as little disruption as possible. Whether you are moving a single sofa a few streets away or a full house of furniture across London, our professional, fully insured crews bring the right vehicles, tools and techniques to do it properly.
We use padded covers, floor protection and secure strapping to make sure your items travel safely, and we plan every job so we arrive with the right number of movers and the right size van.
Being based in New Cross means we know the area well. From narrow streets and controlled parking zones to high-rise blocks and period conversions, we are used to the challenges that come with local moves. We can:
This local knowledge helps us protect your furniture and keep the move running on schedule.
If you are moving house within or out of New Cross, we can move everything from bedroom suites and wardrobes to sofas, dining tables and white goods. We can also provide full-house furniture removals including packing, disassembly and reassembly.
Whether you are moving between rented flats or into your first place, we handle flat moves of all sizes. We are used to shared stairwells, top-floor flats and tight time slots for check-in and check-out inventories.
We assist landlords with furniture clearance and removals between tenancies, including collecting and delivering furniture packs, removing unwanted items and reconfiguring furnished properties.
For offices, shops and small businesses in New Cross, we provide office furniture removals, including desks, chairs, filing cabinets, reception furniture and stockroom shelving. Evening and weekend moves can be arranged to minimise disruption.
With Goldsmiths and other London universities nearby, we regularly help students move in and out of halls and shared houses. We offer cost-effective, smaller-scale student furniture removals for beds, desks, wardrobes and boxed belongings.
For safety and insurance reasons, we normally cannot carry:
If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise during your enquiry or survey.
Contact Man and Van New Cross by phone or online with your move details: addresses, dates, access notes and a list or photos of the furniture. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining what is included so you can make an informed decision.
For larger moves or more complex properties, we arrange a short video call or onsite survey. This lets us assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and volume of furniture. Getting this right prevents delays on the day and ensures you have the appropriate number of trained movers and correctly sized vehicles.
On the day, or in advance if arranged, we can provide:
You can also choose a part-packing service if you prefer to pack smaller items yourself.
Our trained team loads your furniture carefully, using blankets, straps and appropriate lifting techniques. Items are stacked to avoid pressure points and movement in transit. Our modern vans are maintained to a high standard and fitted out for removals work, not general haulage, so your furniture is secure throughout the journey.
At your new property, we unload in an organised way, placing furniture in the rooms you specify. Where agreed, we reassemble items we dismantled and position them so you can settle in more quickly. Before we leave, we invite you to walk through and check you are happy with everything.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:
For smaller jobs, we may use a simple hourly rate with a minimum booking period. Larger moves are usually priced as a fixed job rate so you know the cost in advance. Any parking charges or congestion-related fees will be clearly stated before you confirm the booking.
Hiring a professional removals company is not just about convenience; it is about reducing risk. With DIY or casual man-and-van options, you often lack proper insurance, experience and equipment. That can lead to damage, injury or delays.
With Man and Van New Cross you benefit from:
This approach saves time, reduces stress and helps prevent expensive mistakes.
Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Man and Van New Cross maintains:
We will explain the scope of cover and any limits or exclusions when you book so you know exactly where you stand. Additional cover for high-value items can be discussed where required.
We take care not only of your furniture but also of your home and the environment. Our crews use reusable quilted covers, robust plastic crates (where requested) and recyclable packing materials whenever possible. We plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use.
Inside your property, we protect floors, doorways and bannisters to minimise scuffs and scratches. Items are wrapped and handled with care from start to finish, reducing the likelihood of damage and the need for repairs or replacements.
Many of our clients are moving between streets in SE14 or nearby areas. We manage everything from packing your furniture and dismantling beds to setting them up in your new bedrooms so you can sleep comfortably on the first night.
For local businesses, we handle the relocation of desks, chairs, storage units and meeting room furniture, often outside normal hours. We label and organise items so your team can get back to work quickly.
Sometimes moves cannot wait. Subject to availability, we offer same-day or next-day furniture removals in New Cross for urgent situations, such as last-minute tenancy changes, repairs or deliveries that need extra muscle and a suitable vehicle.
The cost depends mainly on how much furniture you have, the access at each property and the distance between addresses. Smaller flat moves may be charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking, while full-house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Additional services such as packing, materials and disassembly will be itemised clearly. Once we have your details and, if needed, completed a quick survey, we will provide a detailed quote so you know exactly what to budget for before you book.
We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in New Cross, particularly for smaller jobs or single items. Availability depends on existing bookings and vehicle allocation, so the earlier you contact us, the better. If we can fit you in, we will give you a realistic arrival window and clear pricing. Where same-day is not possible, we will do our best to offer the earliest slot and suggest practical options to bridge any gap, such as temporary storage or part-load solutions.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance which covers your furniture while it is being transported in our vehicles, along with public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. Like any policy, there are limits and exclusions, for example for certain high-value or fragile items that require special preparation. We will explain the key points when you book and can advise on additional protection if you have particularly valuable pieces. Our emphasis is always on preventing damage in the first place through careful planning and handling.
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture between the agreed addresses, with placement of items into the rooms you specify. We supply blankets and protective covers as standard and use appropriate equipment such as trolleys and straps. Optional extras include professional packing, provision of boxes and materials, disassembly and reassembly of furniture, and moves to or from storage facilities. All inclusions will be listed in your quote so you know exactly what we will do on the day and what you may choose to handle yourself.
While we operate flexible vans and crews, our approach is closer to a traditional removals firm than a casual man-and-van. We provide trained teams, proper insurance, and specialist equipment designed for moving furniture. We carry out surveys for larger jobs, plan access and parking, and use structured loading methods to protect your items. A basic man-and-van may be fine for a few boxes, but for heavy, awkward or valuable furniture, a professional service like ours significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and hidden costs.
For most moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or time slot, such as a Friday or month-end. During busy periods, such as summer and around university term changes, popular days fill quickly. That said, we always try to accommodate short-notice requests where our schedule allows. Once you have your moving date, get in touch and we will secure a slot and guide you through any preparation needed in the run-up to moving day.
At Man and Van New Cross, our same day removals service is designed for those moves that simply cannot wait. Whether you have been let down by another mover, received last‑minute notice from your landlord, or need an urgent office or student relocation, we provide a fast, organised and fully insured solution across New Cross and the surrounding areas.
Same day removals are all about speed without sacrificing care. We plan the move quickly, allocate the right size vehicle and team, and keep communication clear from the first call to the final item placed.
Every move is carried out by a trained, uniformed and professional team using removal blankets, straps and trolleys to keep your belongings safe in transit.
Working daily in New Cross gives us a real advantage when it comes to urgent removals. We understand local traffic, parking restrictions, controlled parking zones and access to estates and tower blocks. That means we can advise quickly on loading points, arrange permits where needed and choose the most efficient routes in and out of the area.
Because we are genuinely local, we can usually reach you faster than national operators, particularly for same day removals that are booked at short notice in New Cross or surrounding postcodes.
If your completion date has moved forward or your original remover has cancelled, we can step in to handle full or part house moves. We carefully protect furniture, white goods and personal possessions, even when working to tight timescales.
Tenancy ending today? Landlord suddenly changing arrangements? Our same day service helps renters move out quickly while still taking proper care of fragile and valuable items. We are used to dealing with flats, maisonettes and properties with restricted access in New Cross.
For landlords needing a property cleared or part-cleared at short notice, we can remove furniture, appliances and belongings, ready for cleaning or new tenants. We always work respectfully and in line with your instructions.
From small offices to independent shops, we provide same day removals for stock, equipment, documents and furniture. We aim to minimise disruption so you can keep trading with as little downtime as possible.
Students in and around New Cross often need very last‑minute help moving between halls, house shares or back home. We offer budget‑friendly options, consolidating moves where possible while still keeping your belongings secure and organised.
*Disconnection of gas or hard‑wired appliances must be carried out by a qualified professional before we arrive.
If you are unsure about any item, speak to us when you enquire. We can usually offer a safe alternative or explain what is required for us to carry it.
Call or message us as soon as you know you need a same day removal in New Cross. We will ask brief but focused questions about property size, access, number of items and any time constraints. Based on this, we provide a clear, no‑obligation price estimate and confirm whether same day capacity is available.
For most same day moves, we carry out a quick virtual survey by video or photos. This allows us to check parking distances, staircases, lifts and any particularly heavy or fragile items. For larger properties nearby and where time allows, we can attend in person for a short onsite survey.
You can pre‑pack your own boxes, or we can assist with packing and preparation where time allows. We bring removal blankets, shrink‑wrap and mattress protectors as needed. Fragile items are wrapped and stacked carefully, and we label or group items by room to make unloading easier at the new address.
Our trained moving teams load your belongings, using trolleys and lifting equipment where appropriate. Heavy and bulky items are secured at the base of the load, with lighter boxes on top. We then transport everything directly to the new property, using the most efficient local routes around New Cross to keep delays to a minimum.
On arrival, we unload items into your chosen rooms, not just at the front door. We place furniture where you want it and can assemble or re‑assemble basic items if previously agreed. Before we leave, we ask you to check that everything is present and positioned correctly.
Same day moves are priced as clearly as possible, with no hidden extras. Costs are usually based on:
For very small, urgent jobs we may charge a minimum call‑out. For larger same day removals, we typically agree a fixed price in advance so you know exactly what you will pay, even if traffic in New Cross slows things down.
Trying to organise a last‑minute move yourself can be stressful and risky. Hiring a van, finding helpers, lifting heavy items without proper equipment and hoping nothing is damaged often ends up costing more in time and effort than expected.
By using a professional, established company like Man and Van New Cross you benefit from:
Every same day removal we undertake is covered by appropriate insurance and delivered to recognised industry standards.
We operate with clear communication, written confirmations where possible and honest advice about what can realistically be achieved on the day.
Even when a move is urgent, we never cut corners on care. Furniture and appliances are wrapped and protected, boxes are stacked to avoid crushing, and fragile items are clearly separated.
We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact where we can by:
A homeowner’s original removal company cancelled late the day before completion. We allocated a larger team first thing in the morning, completed a virtual survey that night, and moved the entire three‑bed property across New Cross within the required completion window.
Two students needed to leave halls the same day due to a change in accommodation arrangements. We provided a van and mover on a time‑based rate, consolidating both sets of belongings and delivering to separate shared houses the same afternoon.
A small business had to vacate a serviced office at short notice. We packed IT equipment, boxed files and moved desks to a new workspace, ensuring everything was in place so staff could work normally the next morning.
Costs vary depending on the size of your move, access, distance between addresses and how quickly you need us. Smaller same day jobs are often priced on an hourly rate with a minimum call‑out, while larger moves are usually charged at a fixed price agreed in advance. To give an accurate figure we will ask for a brief description or photos of what needs moving. There are no hidden extras – any parking, congestion or additional services will be discussed with you before you confirm the booking.
We cannot guarantee same day availability every time, but because we are based in New Cross and operate several vehicles, we can often help at short notice. The earlier in the day you contact us, the more likely we are to have capacity. In some cases, we may be able to part‑move you on the same day and complete the remainder the following morning. If we genuinely cannot assist, we will tell you honestly rather than over‑promising and letting you down.
Yes. Our same day removals are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are loaded, transported and unloaded, subject to policy terms. We also carry public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties. We still handle your items as if they were uninsured, taking every precaution to avoid damage in the first place. If you have very high‑value or unusual items, please mention them when booking so we can confirm any additional requirements.
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained moving team, protective equipment, loading, safe transport and unloading into your chosen rooms. We will dismantle simple furniture where agreed in advance and can help with basic packing if time allows. What is not automatically included are packing materials for you to keep, specialist dismantling (such as built‑in furniture), or disconnection of gas and hard‑wired appliances. We will set out clearly what is and is not included when we provide your quote.
While we do offer a flexible van and driver option, Man and Van New Cross operates as a professional removals company. That means proper insurance, trained staff, suitable vehicles and written confirmations. Casual man‑and‑van operators may not have the same level of cover or experience, particularly for full house or office moves. With us, you know who is turning up, when they will arrive, and that your belongings will be handled systematically rather than just thrown in the back of a van to save time.
Same day by definition is short notice, but the more time you can give us, the better. If you know in the morning that you will need to move that day, contact us straight away so we can plan around existing bookings. For planned but tight‑deadline moves, booking even a day or two ahead gives us greater flexibility on timing and price. However, if you are in an emergency situation in New Cross, still get in touch – we will always do our best to find a safe, realistic solution.
Moving home in New Cross or nearby? At Man and Van New Cross, we provide a careful, well-organised house removals service designed to make moving day straightforward and stress-free. As a local, hands-on removals company, we combine practical experience, proper planning and the right equipment to protect your belongings and your property from start to finish.
Our New Cross house removals service covers everything from small flats to large family homes. We work across SE14 and surrounding areas, including Brockley, Deptford, Peckham and Lewisham, handling both local and longer-distance moves.
Every move is carried out by a trained, uniformed team using the right tools for the job – removal blankets, trolleys, straps and protective covers – so your furniture, appliances and personal items are moved safely and efficiently.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we manage full household moves, from careful packing of fragile items to dismantling and reassembling bulky furniture. We’ll protect floors, bannisters and doorways to keep both the old and new property in good condition.
Moving between rented properties often comes with tight deadlines and inventory checks. We work to your check-out time, help you avoid damage during the move, and can prioritise items you need first at the new place so you can settle in quickly.
For landlords in New Cross, we offer efficient removals for part-furnished and fully furnished properties, including removal of old furniture and placement of new items. Ideal for preparing a property between tenancies or after refurbishment.
We support small offices and local businesses moving between premises or into co-working spaces. Desks, chairs, files, IT equipment and stock are handled carefully, with clear labelling and placement so you can be up and running again as quickly as possible.
Studying at Goldsmiths or another nearby university? Our student moves are tailored for smaller loads, shared houses and halls of residence, with flexible dates around term time and budget-conscious options.
For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from standard removals:
If you are unsure about a particular item, ask us at the quote stage so we can advise or suggest alternatives.
You contact us with the details of your move – current and new addresses, property type, number of rooms and preferred date. We ask a few practical questions about access, parking and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation with a breakdown of what is included.
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a short video survey or onsite visit. This allows us to see access points, stairs, lifts and parking, and to assess awkward or heavy items. A proper survey helps us send the right size vehicle, enough staff and the right equipment on the day, avoiding delays and last-minute issues.
We offer both full packing and part-packing services, or you can pack yourself. When we pack, we bring strong double-walled boxes, bubble wrap and paper, and we label everything clearly by room. Even if you pack, we still protect key items with removal blankets, mattress covers and TV covers, and we can dismantle and wrap large furniture where needed.
On moving day, our team arrives at the agreed time, walks through the plan with you, and systematically loads the van. Heavy and bulky furniture is loaded first, secured with straps, and then boxes are stacked safely. We drive directly to your new property using the most efficient, sensible route and keep you updated if there are any unavoidable delays on the road.
At your new home, we unload room by room according to your instructions. Furniture is placed in position, and reassembly is completed for any items we dismantled. We always check that everything has come off the van and is where you want it before we leave.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:
For smaller moves we may offer competitive hourly rates; for full house removals we usually provide a fixed price so you know exactly what to budget. Any potential additional charges (for example, congestion charges, tolls or long carry distances) are discussed in advance.
Hiring a professional removals company is about more than just having a van. Our team moves homes every day. We know how to pack fragile items properly, how to lift safely and how to protect both furniture and property. This reduces the risk of damage and injury, and usually makes the whole move significantly quicker.
DIY or casual man-and-van options might seem cheaper at first glance, but they often involve multiple trips, inadequate protection, and limited or no insurance. With Man and Van New Cross you get a planned service, clear timings, fully insured cover and experienced movers who know how to handle awkward staircases, tight hallways and busy New Cross streets.
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. Our service is backed by:
We work to sensible, professional standards: turning up on time, communicating clearly, and treating your property and belongings with respect. If something unexpected happens, we deal with it openly and practically.
We aim to move your home with care while keeping our environmental impact as low as is reasonable.
Inside your home, we use floor runners and corner protectors where appropriate, and we take particular care with stairways, bannisters and door frames to avoid scuffs and scrapes.
If you are moving from one New Cross property to another, we can often complete the entire move in a single day. Local knowledge of parking restrictions, bus lanes and one-way systems helps us avoid delays and ensure we can park close to both addresses.
For local businesses moving in or out of New Cross, we can schedule moves outside normal trading hours to reduce downtime. Equipment, stock and documents are labelled and placed logically so your team can get back to work quickly.
Sometimes moves happen faster than planned – a sudden completion date, a tenancy ending, or a change of circumstances. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice house removals in New Cross and nearby areas. Contact us as early as you can and we will do our best to help.
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, volume of belongings, access and distance. A small flat move within New Cross can sometimes be handled on an hourly rate, while larger family homes are usually quoted at a fixed price. Optional extras such as packing, materials and dismantling services will affect the total. The most accurate way to get a price is to contact us for a tailored quote based on your exact circumstances and the dates you have in mind.
Yes, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in New Cross, depending on our schedule and vehicle availability. Urgent moves are more likely to be possible on weekdays outside peak periods, but it is always worth asking. If we can accommodate you, we will give you a clear idea of timings, costs and what is realistically achievable in the time available so you can make an informed decision.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we transport, and we also hold public liability cover. These policies are designed to protect your belongings and your property while we are working. We will explain the key points of cover, including any limits or exclusions, when we quote for your move. For particularly high-value items, we may ask you to declare them so we can confirm the appropriate arrangements in advance.
Our standard service includes loading all agreed items, safe transport from your old home to your new one, and unloading into the rooms you choose. We protect furniture with blankets and covers, and we handle normal dismantling and reassembly of straightforward items by prior agreement. You can add packing, materials supply, and disposal of unwanted packaging if required. Everything that is included will be clearly listed in your written quotation before you book.
A basic man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without formal training, specialised equipment or comprehensive insurance. Our service is a structured professional removals operation: trained teams, proper planning, protective materials, insurance cover and clear communication from enquiry to completion. This reduces the risk of damage, avoids multiple unnecessary trips and gives you more predictable timings. For a full house move or a property with awkward access, the difference in quality and reliability is significant.
Ideally, you should book your New Cross house removal as soon as you have a confirmed date, especially if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end or during summer. Two to four weeks’ notice is typical for larger moves, but we can sometimes accommodate shorter lead times. Early booking gives us more flexibility to allocate the right crew and vehicle, and it gives you time to prepare, declutter and pack at a sensible pace.
At Man and Van New Cross, we specialise in straightforward, reliable student removals in and around New Cross. Whether you are moving into halls, changing house shares, or heading home for the summer, we provide a calm, organised service tailored to student life and budgets.
Studying in New Cross usually means juggling deadlines, part-time work and a busy social life. Moving should not add to the stress. Our professional student removals service is built around tight timetables, small but precious loads and shared accommodation challenges.
We regularly move students to and from local universities and colleges, including Goldsmiths, University of London and nearby campuses. Our drivers know the local roads, halls entrances and loading restrictions, so we plan ahead to keep things smooth and on time.
While this page focuses on student removals, our service is designed for a wide range of customers in New Cross:
Ideal if you are:
Many small flat and studio moves are similar in scale to student moves. We help:
We support landlords who need quick, tidy removals of student belongings left behind, or help with part-furnished properties between tenancies.
Local businesses often use our lighter-load service for interns and graduates, or for moving small amounts of office equipment between sites.
Even a small room can contain a lot. Our trained team handle most items students typically need to move, including:
For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded or restricted. We will always advise clearly before the move. Typically, we do not move:
High-value items such as professional music equipment or specialist computers can usually be moved, but we may ask for more detail to ensure suitable packing and insurance cover.
Contact us by phone, email or online form with your move details: addresses, dates, access information and what you need moved. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume of items, distance and any additional services, such as packing.
For most student removals, a quick virtual survey via photos, video call or item list is enough. For larger loads or shared houses, we can arrange an onsite visit in New Cross to confirm access, parking and any special handling needs. This helps avoid surprises on the day.
You can pack your own belongings, or use our packing service if you are short of time or transport. We can supply quality boxes, tape and protective materials. Our team label boxes clearly, protect fragile items and ensure electronics are safely prepared for transit.
On moving day, our professional crew arrive on time, introduce themselves and walk through the job with you. We protect communal areas where needed, carry items carefully, and load the van to minimise movement in transit. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on board.
At your new accommodation, we unload items to the rooms you request, not just to the doorway. We will place furniture where you want it, stack boxes sensibly and check you are happy before we leave. If we have supplied packing materials, we can collect reusable materials on a later date by arrangement.
We understand that students work to tight budgets. Our pricing is straightforward and explained clearly in advance. Costs are usually based on:
There are no hidden charges for normal stairs or reasonable walking distances. Parking fees or congestion charges, where unavoidable, are always discussed upfront. We aim to offer an option that balances affordability with a reliable, fully insured service.
It can be tempting to move using a friend’s car or a casual man-and-van advert. In practice, this often costs more time, stress and risk than it saves. With Man and Van New Cross you benefit from:
DIY moves often involve multiple trips, last-minute cancellations and damage that no one is liable for. A professional service keeps your move organised, predictable and properly covered.
Your belongings are important, whether it is a laptop full of coursework or a guitar you have had for years. We take our responsibilities seriously:
We follow sensible, proven working practices: careful route planning, sensible loading, and clear documentation. If you have specific insurance questions, we are happy to explain our cover in plain language.
We treat student belongings with the same care as a full household move. That means:
We also aim to work responsibly:
We regularly help first-year students move from home to New Cross, often coordinating with parents travelling from outside London. We schedule arrival windows around hall check-in times and campus traffic controls.
Shared houses can be awkward, with limited parking and tight staircases. Our team is used to navigating these spaces, protecting communal areas and keeping disruption to a minimum for remaining tenants.
For overseas students or those on placement, we can move belongings from accommodation to local storage facilities, then return them when you arrive back in New Cross.
Sometimes plans change quickly: course changes, tenancy issues or unexpected deadlines. Where capacity allows, we offer same-day or next-day student removals in New Cross, with clear communication about timing and costs.
Costs depend on how much you are moving, the distance between properties and whether you need extras such as packing. Smaller student moves within New Cross are often priced on an hourly rate for a van and one or two movers, with a minimum booking period. Longer-distance or larger moves may be quoted as a fixed price. We always provide a clear estimate before you book, explaining exactly what is included so you can compare options and plan your budget with confidence.
Yes, we can often handle same-day or urgent student removals in New Cross, especially outside peak weekend or end-of-month periods. Availability depends on our existing bookings and the size of your move, so the earlier you contact us, the better. If we can help, we will agree a realistic arrival window and confirm it in writing. If we are fully booked, we will say so honestly rather than over-promising and letting you down at the last minute.
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also carry public liability cover. This provides protection if something goes wrong despite our best efforts. There may be reasonable limits and exclusions, as with any policy, which we are happy to explain. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend you also check your own contents or student insurance, so you have complete peace of mind.
Our core service includes a suitable van, one or more professional movers, loading, safe transport and unloading to your chosen rooms. We provide moving blankets, straps and standard protection for furniture as part of the price. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of simple furniture, and moves to or from storage units. We will outline exactly what is included in your quote, so you can decide which services you need and avoid unnecessary costs.
While we operate vans, our approach is closer to a structured removals company than a casual man-and-van. We provide written quotes, confirmed bookings, insured vehicles and trained staff. Our team use protective equipment, plan routes and timings properly, and understand how to handle fragile or valuable items. A basic man-and-van service may be cheaper on paper, but often lacks insurance, reliability and accountability. We focus on giving you a predictable, professional experience from first enquiry to completion.
For the best choice of dates and times, especially around September and June, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance. However, we understand that student plans can change quickly, so we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Once your exam timetable or tenancy dates are confirmed, it is sensible to reserve a slot. You can still update item lists or addresses closer to the day, and we will adjust the details with you as needed.
Moving in or out of a flat in New Cross brings its own challenges: stairs, tight hallways, lift restrictions, parking and neighbours to consider. At Man and Van New Cross, we provide a dedicated flat removals service designed around local buildings, local access issues and your specific needs, so your move is handled safely, efficiently and with minimum stress.
Our flat removals team has years of hands-on experience moving tenants and owners around New Cross and the surrounding areas. From top-floor studio apartments to larger maisonettes, we understand how to protect your belongings and your building, while keeping disruption to a minimum.
We combine a careful, methodical approach with a practical, no-fuss attitude. Every move is planned, from booking lift slots and arranging parking, to deciding which items need extra protection and which can be dismantled to get through tight doorways.
If you’re selling or buying a flat in New Cross, we offer a complete removal service that coordinates with your completion dates and key collection, helping you avoid last-minute stress on moving day.
We regularly help tenants move between rented flats, including house-shares and studio apartments. We can work around check-in/check-out times and inventory inspections, and we take extra care not to mark walls, floors or communal areas.
Landlords use our professional flat clearance and removals service to remove old furniture, clear after tenants vacate, or set up furnished lets. We can handle single-item removals through to full flat clearances, with responsible disposal where required.
Many small businesses operate from flats or mixed-use buildings in New Cross. We can relocate home offices, treatment rooms and small studios, including desks, filing cabinets, stock and equipment, while keeping downtime as low as possible.
Students at Goldsmiths and nearby colleges often move between halls, shared flats and private rentals. Our flat removals service is ideal for smaller loads, shared moves and term-time relocations, with flexible dates and times.
We tailor every move, but as standard our service can include:
For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded or require special arrangements:
If you are unsure about a particular item, let us know during the quote stage and we’ll advise on the safest approach.
You contact us with the details of your flat move in New Cross: addresses, access information, date, and a rough list of items. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining what is included and any options such as packing or disassembly.
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a quick survey. This can be virtual (photos or video call) or an onsite visit. We look at access, parking, stairs, lift sizes and your belongings. This helps us allocate the right team, vehicle and equipment, and avoid surprises on the day.
You can choose to pack yourself or use our professional packing service. If you pack, we’ll guide you on box sizes, labelling and protecting fragile items. If we pack, our trained team will bring materials and carefully pack your belongings, ensuring everything is ready for safe transport.
On moving day, we arrive on time, protect key items, and plan the order of loading to make best use of space and protect your belongings. We work carefully in communal areas to avoid damage and keep noise to a reasonable level. Your goods are then transported securely to your new address.
At the new flat, we unload items into the rooms you specify, reassemble any furniture agreed in advance, and place larger pieces where you want them. Before we leave, we do a quick walk-through with you to ensure everything is in the right place and you’re happy with the result.
We believe in clear pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote will be based on:
We’ll explain exactly what is included in your price and highlight anything that may incur additional cost, such as delays caused by key release issues, unexpected access problems or last-minute changes in inventory.
Trying to move a flat yourself, or relying on a casual man-with-a-van, can quickly become more trouble than it’s worth. Professional removers bring:
By using a professional flat removals service, you reduce the risk of damage to your belongings or the building, avoid last-minute problems with access and parking, and save yourself the physical strain of heavy lifting.
Man and Van New Cross operates to recognised industry standards. We are fully insured and take our responsibility for your belongings seriously.
We will happily outline the key points of cover on request, so you know exactly how your belongings are protected.
Every move is carried out with care. We use protective blankets, mattress covers and wrapping to safeguard furniture and surfaces. Where needed, we can protect door frames and banisters to reduce the risk of scuffs in tight spaces.
Sustainability matters to us. We aim to minimise waste by reusing durable moving materials where appropriate and recycling packaging at the end of its life. We also plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use, while still providing a reliable service.
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or simply changing area, we manage full flat-to-flat moves, including temporary storage solutions if there’s a gap between tenancies or completion dates.
If you run a small business from your flat, we can move office furniture, IT equipment and files with the same care as domestic items, helping you get back up and running quickly.
Life doesn’t always give much notice. Where our schedule allows, we offer fast-response and same-day flat removals, especially within New Cross and neighbouring areas. We’ll always be honest about realistic timings and what we can achieve safely.
The cost of a flat removal depends on the size of your flat, the volume of items, access at each property and the distance between addresses. Smaller studio or one-bedroom moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger flats are often quoted as a fixed price. Optional services such as packing or dismantling furniture will also affect the total. Once we’ve taken details or carried out a quick survey, we’ll provide a clear, written quote so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice flat removals in and around New Cross. Availability will depend on the size of the move, the time of day and how quickly we can arrange access and parking. For urgent jobs, it’s helpful if you can provide photos or a concise list of items so we can assess what’s needed. We’ll always be transparent about what we can realistically achieve and will never compromise on safety just to squeeze in an extra job.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, plus public liability cover for peace of mind at your properties. Insurance operates under specific terms and limits, which we’re happy to explain before you book. We also take a preventative approach: careful packing, secure loading and experienced handling to reduce the chance of anything being damaged in the first place.
Our standard service includes collection from your current flat, careful loading, secure transport and unloading into the rooms of your choice at the new address. We provide blankets and basic protection for furniture, and we can include dismantling and reassembly of straightforward items by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of packing materials and flat clearances. Your quote will set out exactly what is included so there are no surprises on the day.
A casual man-and-van may be fine for a few boxes, but a full flat removal usually benefits from a professional team. We carry insurance, use the right equipment and follow a planned process. That means safer lifting, better protection for your belongings and building, and a move that runs to a clear schedule. We also conduct surveys where appropriate, assess access and parking in New Cross, and allocate the right size vehicle and crew so your move is completed efficiently and with less stress.
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you’re moving at the end of the month, on a Friday or during peak seasons. One to three weeks’ notice is common for smaller flats, while larger or more complex moves may benefit from even more notice. That said, we understand dates can change, so we try to be flexible where possible. If your move is short-notice, contact us and we’ll let you know our earliest availability.
At Man and Van New Cross, our man with van service is designed for anyone who needs a reliable, well-organised and professional move in and around New Cross. Whether you are moving a single item across SE14 or relocating a whole flat across London, we provide a calm, efficient service built on years of hands-on removals experience.
Our man with van in New Cross is a flexible removals option that can be scaled up or down to suit your needs. You get a dedicated vehicle, an experienced driver–porter and, if required, additional porters to handle heavier or more complex moves.
Typical service variations include:
All work is carried out by trained, professional crews using vans equipped with blankets, straps and basic tools to protect and secure your belongings.
Working daily in New Cross and the surrounding SE postcodes, we understand local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts. From conservation streets off New Cross Road to modern apartment blocks near New Cross Gate and New Cross stations, we know how to plan access, deal with tight stairwells and coordinate with concierge or building management where required.
Our local knowledge means:
If you are moving from or to a flat or smaller house in New Cross, our man with van service offers a cost-effective alternative to a large removal lorry. We handle furniture, boxes, garden items and more, with the same care as a full home removal.
Perfect for tenants moving between rented flats, studios and house shares. We are used to working around lift bookings, tight time windows and landlord check-in and check-out times.
We regularly assist landlords with part clearances, furniture changes and moving items between properties. We can remove old furniture (for disposal via licensed partners) and deliver new items ready for incoming tenants.
Small businesses in New Cross use our man with van services for internal office moves, relocating to new premises, event logistics and regular stock movements. We are comfortable handling boxed files, office furniture, IT equipment and light machinery.
Students around New Cross and nearby universities rely on us for term-time moves, summer storage runs and international travel connections. We keep things simple, clear and affordable, and we are used to working with parents booking on behalf of students.
If you are unsure about any item, let us know during your enquiry and we will confirm what is possible and how best to handle it.
You contact us with details of your move: addresses, access information, inventory, date and preferred time. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually based on a fixed price for your specific job or, for open-ended work, an hourly rate with a minimum booking period.
For straightforward jobs, a detailed phone conversation or video call is enough. For larger or more complex moves, we may recommend a short virtual or onsite survey. This ensures we allocate the right van size, number of porters and time, helping prevent delays on the day.
You can choose to pack your own belongings or add our packing service. If you are packing yourself, we provide guidance on box sizes, labelling and protecting fragile items. On the day, we bring protective blankets, straps and basic tools for furniture disassembly where agreed.
Our team arrives on time, introduces themselves and walks through the property with you. We then load items systematically, protecting furniture, securing items in the van and maximising space. Once loaded, we transport everything directly to your new address or to storage, using sensible routes and steady driving.
At the destination, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing larger furniture where you want it. We reassemble any agreed items and check with you that everything has been unloaded and placed appropriately before we leave.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our man with van New Cross service is typically priced either:
Factors that can affect the price include the number of porters needed, the size of van required, distance travelled, access issues (no lift, long carries, difficult parking) and any extra services such as packing or furniture disassembly. All of this is discussed and agreed in advance.
Hiring a casual man-and-van or doing everything yourself may appear cheaper, but the risks and stress often outweigh the savings. With Man and Van New Cross you benefit from:
This reduces the risk of damage, injuries and last-minute cancellations that are common with informal arrangements.
We operate as a professional removals business, not a casual side job. Our man with van New Cross service is backed by:
We maintain our vehicles regularly and work to consistent standards on every job, whether it is a single sofa or a full flat move.
We treat every move as if it were our own belongings being transported. Furniture is wrapped in transit blankets, fragile items are placed carefully, and loads are secured to avoid shifting in transit. Where possible, we reuse durable packing materials and favour recyclable options.
To reduce unnecessary journeys, we plan routes efficiently and, where practical, combine smaller jobs in similar areas without compromising service quality. If you wish to donate unwanted items, we can often suggest local charities or reuse schemes in and around New Cross.
Ideal for studio and one-bedroom homes, or as an additional van on bigger moves. We can move you within New Cross or to anywhere in London and beyond, coordinating with estate agents, landlords and key collection times.
For small businesses, our man with van service handles desk moves, internal reshuffles and relocations to new premises. We can schedule work outside standard office hours to minimise disruption.
Life happens quickly – tenancy changes, last-minute purchases, unexpected clear-outs. Subject to availability, we can often provide same-day or short-notice man with van support in New Cross and nearby areas. Calling early in the day gives the best chance of securing a slot.
Pricing depends on several factors: the size of van required, the number of movers, the distance between addresses and how long the job is expected to take. Smaller local moves may be charged by the hour with a minimum booking, while more involved moves are often fixed-price. To give an accurate figure we ask for details of your inventory, access (floors, lifts, parking) and dates. We then provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what is included before you book.
Yes, subject to availability we can often help with same-day or urgent moves in New Cross and surrounding areas. Our ability to respond quickly depends on how busy the schedule is and the size of job you require. For last-minute requests, calling us as early as possible is best. We will let you know immediately what time slots and van sizes we can offer, and provide a straightforward cost based on your requirements and expected duration.
Yes. Our service includes goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicle, subject to policy limits and standard exclusions (such as certain high-value items not declared in advance). We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property. We will happily explain the key terms in plain language before you book, and if you have particularly valuable or unusual items we will advise on the best way to protect them.
Our standard service includes a dedicated van, an experienced driver–porter, loading and unloading of your items, transit within the agreed distance and basic protection such as blankets and straps. We place items in the rooms you choose at the destination. Optional extras include additional porters, packing services, provision of packing materials and furniture disassembly and reassembly. Everything that is and is not included will be set out clearly in your quote so there are no surprises on the day.
We operate as a professional removals company, not an informal side business. That means proper insurance, maintained vehicles, trained staff and clear booking terms. Casual operators may not have adequate cover, may cancel at short notice or may lack the equipment and experience to handle heavier or delicate items safely. With us, you get structure, accountability and consistent standards, reducing the risk of damage, delays and stress during your move.
For preferred dates and times, especially weekends and month-end, we recommend booking your man with van in New Cross one to two weeks in advance. However, we understand that moves are not always planned that far ahead. If you need a van at short notice, contact us and we will do our best to fit you in. Once you confirm a booking, we reserve the vehicle and team for your slot, giving you certainty in your moving plans.
Moving a piano is never just another job. It is heavy, delicate, and often the most treasured item in a property. At Man and Van New Cross, we provide specialist piano removals in New Cross and surrounding areas, using the correct equipment, techniques and protection to move your instrument safely and efficiently.
Our piano removal service is designed specifically for the challenges of moving pianos through tight London streets and tricky New Cross properties. We plan every move carefully, taking into account stairs, narrow hallways, parking restrictions and access at both ends.
We regularly move:
Every move is carried out by a trained, experienced team using piano skates, padded covers, webbing straps and the right vehicle for the size and weight of your instrument.
Based in New Cross, we know the local streets, estates and parking conditions extremely well. This local knowledge allows us to plan realistic arrival times, secure parking where possible, and anticipate access issues before we turn up at your door.
We regularly work in:
Whether you are moving a piano into a top-floor flat, a terraced house with a narrow hallway, or a commercial venue, we plan the safest route for your specific property.
Our specialist piano removal service is suitable for:
Whether you have a single upright or several instruments, we tailor our service to your situation, schedule and property type.
We will always be honest if we believe a move is unsafe or requires a different type of specialist service.
You contact us with details of your piano, locations and access. We will ask about the make and model (if known), number of steps, floor levels, lifts and parking. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included.
For more complex jobs, we may request photos or a short video call to check access in detail. In some cases, we may arrange an onsite survey in New Cross or nearby. This helps us decide on team size, equipment and the best route in and out of each property.
On the day, we protect the piano with professional-grade covers and blankets. For grand pianos, we will usually remove the legs and pedals and secure the lid. We also protect floors and key areas where required to minimise any risk of marking or damage.
The piano is carefully lifted using trained techniques and mechanical aids where suitable. We use piano skates, dollies and straps to move safely through the property and onto the vehicle. Inside the van, the piano is tied off securely to prevent movement during transit.
At the destination, we reverse the process, bringing the piano into the property and placing it where you want it, subject to safe access. We recommend allowing the piano to settle for a while before arranging tuning, as moves can affect the instrument’s pitch.
Piano removal costs depend on the type of piano, access, distance and any special requirements. We do not offer rough one-size-fits-all prices because they are often misleading. Instead, we provide a clear quote based on:
Our quotes include labour, vehicle, fuel, standard protection and insurance, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you book.
A piano can easily weigh 200–400kg or more. Attempting to move one with friends, or using a casual man-and-van service without the right experience, puts your instrument, property and personal safety at risk.
By choosing a professional removal service:
In many cases, the cost of repairing damage from a DIY attempt far exceeds the price of hiring specialists in the first place.
As a responsible removals company, we operate to clear professional standards:
We handle every piano as if it were our own, combining practical experience with respect for the instrument’s financial and sentimental value.
We place strong emphasis on careful handling and thoughtful working practices:
Our goal is to complete your move smoothly, with minimal disruption to neighbours and the local environment.
If you are moving home in or out of New Cross, we can handle the piano as part of a full household removal or as a dedicated piano move. We coordinate timings with the rest of your move so that the instrument is loaded, transported and placed with minimal waiting around.
We work with schools, churches, rehearsal spaces and music venues needing to move one or more pianos. This could be a relocation, renovation, or simply rearranging performance spaces. We can operate out of hours or at weekends to reduce disruption.
Sometimes a piano needs to be moved at short notice – for example, an unexpected sale, a landlord requirement, or a last-minute cancellation by another mover. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day appointments in New Cross and nearby areas.
The cost of a piano removal depends mainly on the type of piano, the access at each property and the distance travelled. Upright pianos on ground-floor to ground-floor moves are usually the most straightforward and therefore cheaper. Grand pianos, upper-floor moves and tight staircases require more staff and time, which increases the price. Once you provide details and, if needed, photos or a short video, we give a clear fixed quote so you know the full cost before you book, with no hidden extras.
Where our diary allows, we can arrange same-day or short-notice piano removals in New Cross and surrounding areas. Availability depends on existing bookings, the size of the team required and access at your property. For urgent moves, it helps if you can send clear photos or a short video of the piano and the access route, so we can assess feasibility quickly. Contact us as early as possible, and we will always give you an honest answer about what we can realistically do.
Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved and transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability insurance, which covers accidental damage to third-party property or injury while we are working at your premises. Insurance is there for peace of mind, but our first priority is always prevention: careful planning, protective covers, safe lifting methods and experienced staff. We are happy to clarify cover limits and terms when you request your quote.
Our standard piano removal service includes a pre-move assessment, provision of a suitable vehicle, a trained team, protective blankets and covers, safe loading, secure transport and careful placement in the new location. For grand pianos, this usually includes removing and refitting legs and pedals where necessary. It does not include tuning, major dismantling, or any building alterations such as removing windows or doors. If you need additional services, we will explain clearly what we can handle and what may require a separate specialist.
A basic man-and-van service will often move general furniture and boxes, but may not have the specialist equipment, training or insurance needed for pianos. Professional piano movers use dedicated skates, straps, covers and lifting techniques specifically suited to heavy, delicate instruments. They also plan routes carefully and understand how to protect both the piano and the property. While a casual service may appear cheaper at first glance, the risks of damage or injury are significantly higher, which is why we always recommend using experienced, professional movers for pianos.
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your piano removal at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific day or are moving at busy times such as weekends or month-end. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, and we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Even if your move is urgent, it is worth getting in touch – we can often suggest practical options, including early or late appointments, to fit around your schedule.
At Man and Van New Cross, we provide a reliable, well-organised man and a van service tailored to New Cross and the surrounding areas. As an experienced removals professional, I know that moves here often involve tight streets, controlled parking zones, and top-floor flats – so we plan every job carefully to keep things smooth, safe and on time.
Our man and a van New Cross service is designed for moves that are too big for a car but don’t require a full-scale removals crew. You get a modern, clean van with one or more trained movers who will safely load, protect, transport and unload your belongings.
Typical jobs include:
Every job is handled by a professional, uniformed team with local route knowledge and the right equipment to protect your belongings.
Working day in, day out across New Cross means we understand the area’s specific challenges. From Conservation Areas and parking bays near New Cross Gate to one-way streets around Deptford and busy times on the A2, we plan your move with local knowledge built in.
We routinely handle:
This local understanding helps us give realistic timings, minimise disruption and keep stress to a minimum.
Ideal if you are moving between smaller houses or bungalows, downsizing, or shifting a portion of belongings into storage. We can move furniture, boxes, garden items and white goods, with care taken to protect both your old and new property.
Flats and rented houses are the core of our New Cross work. We are used to stair-only access, narrow corridors and tight parking. We work efficiently to help you meet check-in and check-out times, and we can make extra stops if you need to pick items up along the way.
Landlords and managing agents use our man and a van service to clear or part-clear properties between tenancies, remove old furniture, or deliver new items. We work respectfully in tenanted properties and common areas, keeping noise and disruption low.
For small offices, shops, studios and cafes, we offer flexible business removals using our man and a van teams. This includes moving desks, stock, IT equipment and light machinery. We can schedule moves outside trading hours to reduce downtime.
Our student moves service helps you shift belongings between halls, shared houses and home, often in one straightforward trip. We keep pricing clear and fair for smaller loads, and we are happy to work with parents, guardians or guarantors for bookings and payments.
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, mention it during your enquiry. We can usually find a safe and compliant way to assist, or advise you on an appropriate specialist.
Contact us by phone, email or online form with details of what you need to move, your addresses, dates and access notes. We will ask a few focused questions and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote. Prices are either fixed for defined jobs or hourly for more flexible moves, always explained in plain language.
For larger or more complex jobs, we will carry out a short video call survey or, where needed, an onsite visit. This allows us to see access, stairs, lifts, parking, and the size and type of items. Accurate information here ensures we send the right size van, the right number of movers and suitable protective materials.
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a packing service at an agreed additional cost. Where you pack, we ask that boxes are secure, clearly labelled and sealed. On the day, we protect key items with blankets and covers, and we can dismantle simple furniture where required (and reassemble on arrival if agreed).
Our trained team loads the van methodically, using straps, blankets and padding to keep everything stable in transit. Heavy and bulky items are loaded first, followed by boxes and lighter items. We then take the most suitable route, balancing speed with safety, and keeping you informed if traffic or conditions affect timings.
At your destination, we unload items into the rooms you specify, not just to the front door. We can reassemble furniture if this has been agreed in advance, and we will check with you before we leave that everything listed has been delivered and placed where you want it.
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our man and a van work is usually priced either:
Our quotes will state:
Parking costs, if we have to pay them on your behalf, will be passed on at cost and explained upfront wherever possible.
Hiring a professional man and a van service instead of doing it yourself or using a casual, unregistered operator brings several advantages.
Cutting corners on your move often costs more in damage, lost time and stress than a properly planned professional service.
Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our service is fully backed by appropriate insurance and trade standards.
Details of our cover, including limits and exclusions, are available on request and can be discussed at the quotation stage.
We focus on both the care of your belongings and our impact on the environment.
We aim to leave your new property clean, undamaged and ready to settle into, with no piles of waste left behind.
For one or two-bedroom properties, our man and a van New Cross option often provides the ideal balance of cost and capability. We can complete the entire move in one or two carefully planned trips, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Small offices, studios and co-working spaces use our service to relocate locally or into central London. We can work evenings or weekends, carefully transporting IT, furniture and boxed files so your team can resume work quickly.
Life does not always give much notice. Subject to availability, we offer same-day and next-day man and a van bookings for urgent moves, end-of-tenancy deadlines, or last-minute changes of plan. Call as early as possible so we can check schedules and provide realistic timings.
Costs vary depending on the size of van, number of movers, distance between addresses and how long loading and unloading will take. Smaller jobs are often charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, while defined moves can be priced as a fixed fee. To keep things transparent, we will ask a few questions about access, volume and timing, then provide a written quote showing what is included, any likely extra costs such as parking, and how additional time is charged if needed.
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day moves in New Cross, especially outside peak days. Availability depends on our schedule, van size needed and how complex your move is. If you need urgent help, call us as soon as possible with a clear list of items and addresses. We will confirm whether we can fit you in, provide a realistic arrival window, and give you a clear price before you commit so you are not surprised on the day.
We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover for our work at your property. As with any insurance, there are limits and exclusions, for example for items not properly packed, pre-existing damage or certain high-value goods not declared in advance. We are happy to explain the cover in plain terms when quoting. If you have particularly valuable or fragile items, let us know so we can advise on the best way to protect and, if necessary, insure them.
Our standard service includes a suitable van, at least one trained mover, loading, safe transport and unloading into your new property. We provide protective blankets and securing straps as standard. Optional extras, such as packing services, boxes and materials, furniture dismantling/reassembly, and waste disposal or furniture clearance, can be added by agreement and will be itemised in your quote. Parking fees and road charges may be charged at cost if we have to pay them on the day. We always clarify inclusions before you book.
A full removals service usually involves a larger team, bigger vehicles, extensive packing and more planning, suited to full house moves or large offices. A man and a van service is more flexible and cost-effective for smaller loads, single rooms, student moves and partial relocations. With us, both services are professional, fully insured and properly organised – the main difference is scale, not quality. We will recommend the most appropriate option for your situation so you are not paying for more capacity than you need.
For weekend or month-end moves in New Cross, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. Midweek and off-peak slots are often available with shorter notice. For smaller jobs, we can sometimes fit you in within a few days, or even the same day, depending on route planning. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we have with timings and pricing. Once you are happy with our quote, we will confirm your booking and arrival window in writing.
At Man and Van New Cross, we provide a reliable, fully managed man and van removals service across New Cross and the surrounding SE14 area. As experienced local movers, we combine the flexibility of a traditional man-and-van with the standards of a professional removals company – trained, fully insured, and properly equipped.
Our service is designed for moves that are too big for a taxi but don’t need a full-sized removals lorry. You get an experienced driver, a suitable van, and one or more professional movers to handle the heavy lifting safely.
If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask – we will advise whether we can move it safely or if a specialist is needed.
Our New Cross man and van service is flexible enough to suit a wide range of customers:
Ideal for smaller home moves, downsizing, or taking a few key items into storage. We often help owners moving between New Cross, Brockley, Deptford, Peckham and wider South East London.
Perfect for flat and house moves at the end of a tenancy. We understand tight staircases, permit parking and time slots for key collection, and we plan around them so your move runs smoothly.
We regularly assist landlords clearing or part-furnishing properties, moving furniture between lets, or responding to urgent situations such as end-of-tenancy clear-downs.
From small office moves to transporting stock, samples or equipment, our man and van service works well for local businesses, start-ups and studios needing reliable, professional transport without the cost of a full removals crew.
We help students moving to and from halls and shared houses in and around New Cross, including Goldsmiths and nearby universities. Shared loads, split costs and quick, straightforward moves are all part of what we do.
Working in New Cross day in, day out means we understand the realities of moving here – one-way streets, bus lanes, controlled parking zones and busy junctions. We plan routes and timings to avoid delays and we know where larger vans can and cannot safely load.
We are used to Victorian terraces, mansion blocks and newer developments alike, so we come prepared for narrow stairwells, lack of lifts and limited loading bays. This local experience helps protect both your belongings and the buildings we work in.
You contact us with basic details: what needs moving, from where to where, and your preferred date and times. We give an initial estimate based on the information you provide, explaining whether an hourly rate or fixed price suits your move best.
For anything more than a very small move, we carry out a quick survey. This may be virtual (photos or video call) or onsite for more complex jobs. The survey lets us gauge access, parking, number of stairs and volume of items so we send the right size van and team.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service at an additional cost. Either way, our team arrives with blankets, straps and basic protection materials. We check items are safe to travel, disconnect appliances if agreed, and plan the loading order.
Our trained movers handle all the lifting unless you prefer to help. We protect furniture with removal blankets, secure everything with straps, and load the van so nothing shifts en route. Then we transport your belongings directly to your new address or storage facility.
On arrival, we unload and place items into the rooms you choose, not simply at the door. We keep walkways clear, protect flooring where necessary and work methodically to get you in quickly while keeping your belongings safe.
We keep our pricing straightforward so you know what you are paying for before you book.
Our quote will explain what is included, any potential additional charges (for example, congestion or parking fees) and how overtime is handled if a move runs past the booked time. There are no hidden extras – we confirm everything in writing before the job.
Hiring a casual van or asking friends might appear cheaper, but it often leads to damaged furniture, back injuries or repeated trips. With a professional man and van service:
In practice, most customers find a professional man and van service is better value once you factor in time, risk and effort.
Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our service includes:
We work to clear, written terms and conditions so you know exactly where you stand. For higher-value items, antiques or specialist equipment, we can discuss additional protection and specific handling instructions.
We take care to minimise both risk and waste on every job:
By loading correctly and avoiding repeated trips, we cut down on fuel use. Where we supply packing materials, we favour recyclable products and avoid unnecessary plastics where practical.
For smaller properties, studio flats or partial moves, our man and van service often replaces a full removals crew. We can move you locally within New Cross or across London in a single, well-planned trip.
We help small offices, shops and studios relocate with minimal downtime, moving desks, chairs, IT equipment and boxed files. Early morning, evening or weekend moves can be arranged to keep disruption low.
Sometimes moves happen at short notice – keys released late, landlords needing a quick turnaround, or urgent storage runs. Where we have availability, we offer same-day or next-day man and van services in New Cross and nearby areas.
Costs depend on the size of van, number of movers and how long the job takes. Smaller moves are usually charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, while larger or more complex moves may be priced as a fixed job. Factors such as stairs, walking distance from door to van, and disassembly or reassembly can affect the time. We will ask a few questions or carry out a quick survey, then give you a clear, written quote so you know the total expected cost before you book.
Yes, where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or next-day man and van services in New Cross and surrounding areas. Availability depends on how busy we are, the size of van required and how far we need to travel. If you need an urgent move, call as early as possible with details of what needs moving, both addresses and any time constraints. We will confirm if we can help, give an immediate estimate and, once agreed, dispatch a team as soon as practical.
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle, and we also carry public liability cover for work at your properties. This is in addition to the care our trained teams take in wrapping, lifting and loading. Our insurance has specific limits and conditions, which we are happy to explain before you book. For particularly valuable or fragile items, we may recommend additional packing, specific handling instructions or, in rare cases, specialist cover.
Our standard service includes a suitable van, fuel, an experienced driver and at least one additional mover, plus basic equipment such as trolleys, blankets and straps. We load, transport and unload your belongings, placing items into the rooms you choose. Optional extras include packing services, packing materials, extra movers for heavy or awkward items, and dismantling or reassembling furniture. Your quote will set out exactly what is included so there are no surprises on the day.
A full removals service usually involves a larger lorry, a bigger crew and a more comprehensive approach, often including full packing, extensive protection and detailed planning for larger homes or offices. A man and van service is more flexible and cost-effective for smaller moves, partial moves or short distances. With us, you still get a professional, fully insured team, just scaled to the size of the job. We will advise which option suits you best based on what you are moving.
For weekend and month-end moves in New Cross, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. For midweek or smaller jobs, we can often fit you in with less notice, especially outside peak periods. If you have a fixed completion date or must be out of a property by a certain time, it is best to reserve your slot as soon as your plans are confirmed. We will always try to accommodate late enquiries where our schedule allows.
At Man and Van New Cross, our dedicated removal van service is designed for safe, efficient and well-organised moves in and around New Cross. With years of hands-on experience, we combine practical know-how with a calm, professional approach so your move is completed on time and without drama.
Our removal vans are fully equipped for all types of moves in New Cross and the surrounding areas. Whether you are moving a small flat, a family home or a compact office, we provide the right-sized vehicle and a professional mover or team to match.
Each van carries protective blankets, straps, trolleys and basic tools so we can handle furniture and fragile items correctly. We work methodically, protect your property and keep you updated throughout the day so you always know what is happening next.
Working daily in New Cross gives us a strong understanding of local streets, parking restrictions and building layouts. From tight one-way roads and bus lanes to controlled parking zones and estate access, we plan routes and timings to minimise delays.
We regularly help customers moving between New Cross, Deptford, Lewisham, Brockley, Peckham and further across London. This local knowledge means:
Ideal for 1–3 bedroom homes needing a dedicated removal van and a trained team. We load carefully, protect floors and banisters, and ensure large furniture is secured properly for transport.
Perfect for flats and house shares in New Cross, including top-floor and lift-free properties. We work efficiently to keep building managers happy and to help you meet check-out times and inventory appointments.
We assist landlords with part-clearances, end-of-tenancy removals, and moving furniture between properties. Our fully insured service helps keep void periods short and properties ready for the next tenant.
Our removal vans are suitable for small office moves, shop refits, light equipment, and archive relocations. We can work outside normal hours where agreed to minimise disruption to your staff and customers.
Students moving to or from New Cross benefit from a cost-effective, reliable van and driver service. We understand term-time deadlines and can often help with shared loads between friends to keep costs sensible.
We can safely move most household and office items, including:
For safety and insurance reasons, we normally exclude:
If you are unsure whether an item can be moved, ask during your quotation and we will advise clearly.
You contact us by phone or online with the details of your move: addresses, dates, property sizes and any special items. We ask straightforward questions so we understand the volume, access and timing. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included.
For larger moves or tricky access, we arrange a short video or onsite survey. This allows us to assess stairs, lifts, parking and any dismantling that may be required. Getting this right upfront helps avoid delays and unexpected costs on the day.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service at an agreed extra cost. Either way, we advise on labelling, box weights and how to prepare appliances. On moving day we protect key items with blankets and covers before loading.
Our trained team loads the van in a planned order, placing heavier items at the bottom and securing everything with straps. We handle awkward furniture carefully to avoid damage to doorways and walls. Once loaded, we travel via the most sensible route, considering traffic and access at the new property.
At your new address we unload items into the rooms you specify. We place furniture where you need it and stack boxes sensibly so you can unpack gradually. Before leaving, we perform a quick walk-through with you to check everything that was loaded has been delivered.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our removal van services are typically charged either:
Your quotation will confirm:
We explain any potential extra charges in advance, such as extended waiting time caused by key release delays. There are no hidden fees; if anything changes, we discuss it with you first.
Hiring a casual van or attempting the move yourself may seem cheaper, but there are real risks. Without the right equipment and experience, heavy lifting can cause injuries and damage to property. Improperly secured loads are also more likely to shift and break in transit.
With our professional removal van service you benefit from:
In many cases, a properly planned professional move works out better value than multiple DIY trips and damaged items.
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Our service includes:
We handle your belongings as if they were our own. Any specific high-value items should be mentioned in advance so we can ensure they are correctly documented and prepared.
We place strong emphasis on the careful handling and protection of your belongings:
We also consider sustainability in how we work. Wherever possible we:
From basement flats to Victorian terraces, we regularly handle local house moves. We are familiar with narrow streets and limited parking, so we plan accordingly and liaise with you about the best spot for the van.
Our removal van service suits smaller offices, studios and retail units moving within New Cross or across London. We can move desks, chairs, IT equipment and stock in an organised way so you can get back to work quickly.
Where our schedule allows, we assist with urgent or same-day moves – for example, sudden tenancy changes or last-minute storage runs. If you are facing a tight deadline, contact us as early as you can and we will advise what is realistically possible.
Costs depend on the size of van required, the number of movers, distance travelled and how long the job takes. Smaller local moves are often priced by the hour with a minimum booking period, while larger home or office moves may be quoted as a fixed fee. Factors such as difficult access, top-floor flats without lifts or unusual items can affect the price. We always provide a clear written quote beforehand so you know exactly what is included and can budget with confidence.
We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves, especially within New Cross and nearby areas, but it depends on our schedule and the size of the job. If you need an urgent removal van, call us as early as possible with full details. We will check availability, be honest about what we can achieve in the time, and confirm any premium rates that apply for out-of-hours or last-minute work before you decide whether to go ahead.
Yes. Our service includes goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are in our vehicle, plus public liability cover for work in and around your property. This insurance is there to protect you against the unlikely event of accidental damage or loss caused by us. We still expect items to be packed sensibly, and we ask you to highlight any particularly fragile or high-value belongings so we can take extra care and ensure everything is correctly noted.
Our standard service includes a suitable removal van, one or more trained movers, loading, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We provide blankets, straps and trolleys for secure handling. Optional extras include packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and supply of boxes and materials, which we can price separately. We always confirm what is and is not included in writing so there is no confusion on the day and you know exactly what to expect from us.
A casual man-and-van often means a driver with limited equipment and no formal insurance. Our service is a professional removals operation: fully insured, with trained staff, suitable vehicles, and a structured process from quote to completion. We plan the move, protect your belongings, and take responsibility for what we carry. For small, simple jobs a basic van might be enough, but for most home or office moves, a professional removals team provides far better protection, reliability and value overall.
For weekend or month-end moves, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, as these dates are in high demand. For midweek or shorter local jobs, we can sometimes accommodate bookings with only a few days’ notice. The more notice you give, the easier it is to secure your preferred date and time. Even if your moving date is not fixed, it is worth contacting us early so we can discuss options and pencil you into our schedule.
At Man and Van New Cross, we provide reliable, well-organised removal services across New Cross and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving homes, flats, offices and student rooms, we know how to plan and carry out a move so it feels calm, safe and under control from start to finish.
Our New Cross removal service covers everything you reasonably need for a smooth move:
Every move is handled by a trained, professional team using proper equipment: trolleys, moving blankets, straps and tools for dismantling and reassembly where agreed.
We work in New Cross every day, so we understand local traffic patterns, parking restrictions, estate layouts and access issues. That local knowledge means:
Whether you are moving between New Cross and Deptford, Brockley, Peckham, Greenwich or further afield, we plan your move with realistic timings and clear communication.
If you are selling or buying in or around New Cross, we provide full household removals, from small terraced houses to larger family homes. We can offer packing, dismantling of furniture, and careful placement at your new property.
We regularly help tenants move between flats, house shares and studios. We know the pressures of fixed check-in and check-out times, inventories and tight staircases, and we work efficiently to avoid delays or damages.
Landlords use our removal services for clearing properties between lets, moving furniture in or out, or dealing with part-furnished changes. We can coordinate with cleaning and maintenance teams if required.
From small offices to creative studios and retail spaces, we move desks, IT equipment, stock and fixtures. We focus on minimising downtime and can plan moves outside core working hours where possible.
Students in New Cross, especially those at Goldsmiths and nearby universities, often need flexible, low-stress moves. We handle shared accommodation, halls of residence and storage moves, with clear, upfront pricing to suit tight budgets.
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, the following are normally excluded from our standard removal services:
If you are unsure about a particular item, just mention it during the enquiry stage and we will confirm what is possible.
You contact us by phone or online with your moving details: addresses, dates, property sizes and any special requirements. We ask a few clear questions so we understand access, parking and volume. Based on this, we provide a transparent, no-obligation quote with no hidden extras.
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a brief survey. This can be virtual (video call with a walk-through of your property) or onsite in New Cross and nearby areas. The survey lets us assess volume, awkward items, staircases and lifts so we can allocate the right vehicle size and team.
You can choose between:
We can also dismantle and reassemble standard furniture where agreed. On moving day we protect floors, doorways and banisters as required to minimise any risk of marks or damage.
Our trained team load your items systematically, using blankets, straps and padding. Heavy and bulky items are secured first, with fragile boxes clearly separated and protected. We then transport everything in our clean, well-maintained vehicles, driving steadily to protect your goods.
At your new property we unload to the rooms you specify, not just to the doorway. We place furniture where you need it and can reassemble agreed items. Before we leave, we check you are satisfied that everything is in the right place and that there is no visible damage.
We price our New Cross removal services fairly and transparently. Typical factors affecting cost include:
We will always explain how your quote is built. Where possible, we provide a fixed price so you know exactly what to budget. For smaller or straightforward moves, we may offer an hourly rate with clear minimum charges explained in advance.
Hiring a professional removal service in New Cross is not just about saving effort; it is about reducing risk and disruption. Compared with a DIY move or a casual man-and-van, we provide:
A cheaper DIY option can quickly become more costly in time, stress and potential damage. With us, you get a structured, dependable service from start to finish.
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to clear standards:
Details of our cover can be provided on request. We will also explain any limits or conditions clearly so you know exactly how you are protected.
We handle every move with care. That means:
We also consider our environmental impact. Where possible, we reuse quality packing materials, minimise wasted journeys by sensible route planning, and can advise on reusing or recycling unwanted furniture and boxes. Our goal is to move you efficiently while keeping waste to a minimum.
From Victorian terraces to modern flats, we have moved households of all sizes locally and across London. We understand chain dates, completion times and the need to coordinate keys and access. Our team works to your schedule and keeps you updated throughout the day.
For offices and small businesses, we plan moves to reduce downtime. That might mean moving early morning, evenings or weekends, and agreeing a clear plan for what moves first and where it will go. IT equipment, files and stock are labelled and handled carefully.
Sometimes moves happen unexpectedly – a sudden completion date, tenancy issue or change of plan. Where availability allows, we can offer same-day or next-day services, still delivered to the same professional standard. Contact us as soon as you know your dates and we will do our best to help.
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the volume of belongings, distance travelled and any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly. Small local moves might be priced on an hourly basis, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Once we have key details and, if needed, a short survey, we will provide a clear, itemised quote with no hidden charges, so you know exactly what you will pay before you book.
We can sometimes offer same-day or urgent removal services in New Cross, depending on our schedule and team availability. If you need a last-minute move, contact us as early as you can with your addresses, approximate volume and ideal times. We will let you know honestly what is possible and provide a clear price before confirming the booking. Even on short notice, we maintain the same standards of careful handling, punctuality and clear communication.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved, plus public liability cover for accidental damage to property. Insurance is not a substitute for careful handling, so our trained teams still take every precaution to prevent incidents in the first place. We are happy to explain the scope, limits and any exclusions of our cover before you book, so you can decide whether you need any additional insurance of your own.
Our standard service includes a vehicle sized for your move, a suitable number of movers, loading and unloading, and safe transport between properties. We also provide basic protective equipment such as blankets and straps. Optional extras include packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembling furniture, and handling particularly awkward items by prior agreement. During the enquiry we will clarify exactly what you need, so your quote clearly reflects the service being provided.
A casual man-and-van may simply provide transport and lifting, with limited planning or protection. Our removal services are structured and professional: proper surveys for larger moves, trained staff, protective materials, written confirmations and full insurance cover. We focus on planning access, protecting items from damage, and placing everything correctly at the destination. For a full house or office move, this level of organisation and care typically saves time, reduces stress and significantly lowers the risk of costly breakages.
Ideally, you should book as soon as your moving date is reasonably certain, especially for weekends and month-end dates, which are often busiest. Many customers book two to four weeks in advance. That said, we know dates can change, so we do our best to be flexible and to accommodate short-notice moves where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the easier it is to secure your preferred date and any additional services such as packing.
At Man and Van New Cross, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions for homes, students and businesses across New Cross and the surrounding areas. Whether you need a short-term space between moves or a longer-term option while you renovate, our professional, locally based team will collect, protect and store your belongings with care.
Our storage service is designed to be straightforward and stress-free. We collect your items directly from your property, wrap and protect them, transport them to our chosen storage facility, and return them when you are ready. You do not have to hire a van, lift heavy furniture, or worry about access times – we handle the complete process for you.
All storage moves are carried out by trained, uniformed staff using proper equipment, padded covers, and securing systems to keep your goods safe from collection to redelivery. We combine our local removals expertise with goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for added peace of mind.
Based in New Cross, we understand the challenges of tight streets, limited parking, student halls and flat conversions. We plan collections and deliveries around local traffic patterns, controlled parking zones and building access rules, ensuring a smooth and efficient service.
Our familiarity with New Cross, Deptford, Brockley and surrounding areas means quicker response times, realistic arrival windows and sensible advice on how much storage you actually need. We work with local landlords, letting agents and businesses who trust us to move and store items safely and on time.
Ideal when you are between house moves, decluttering for a sale, or renovating. We can store furniture, white goods, boxes, garden tools and more, then redeliver everything to your new address when you are ready.
If your tenancy dates do not quite line up, or you are downsizing and need to keep some items off-site, we provide flexible storage with straightforward monthly terms. We collect from flats as well as houses, including upper floors.
We help landlords store furniture and appliances between lets, during refurbishments or while changing property use. We can collect from multiple properties and return items in stages as each unit is ready.
Our business storage is suitable for documents, office furniture, IT equipment, event materials, excess stock and seasonal items. We offer planned collections outside normal office hours to minimise disruption.
Students at Goldsmiths and other London universities use our storage between terms, placements and gap years. We collect from halls or shared houses, store safely, and deliver to your next address when you return.
Most everyday household and office items are suitable for storage, including:
To comply with safety, legal and insurance requirements, we cannot store:
If you are unsure whether an item is allowed, we will advise during the survey stage.
You contact us with basic details – what you need to store, your addresses, access information and timescales. We ask a few practical questions and provide an initial estimate based on volume, distance and likely storage duration. Our pricing is clear and explained in plain language before you commit.
For larger jobs or longer-term storage, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This helps us check access (stairs, lifts, parking), assess fragility and confirm how many cubic feet or metres of storage you need. Accurate surveys mean you do not overpay for unused space and avoid last-minute issues on collection day.
You can pack your own boxes, or ask us for packing assistance. We supply quality materials and, where required, offer a full packing service. On collection day, we protect furniture with padded covers, dismantle larger items if needed, and wrap delicate pieces to prevent damage in transit and in storage.
Our trained team carefully loads your goods into our vans, using blankets, straps and skids to secure everything. We work methodically, labelling items and, where appropriate, documenting contents by room or category. Your belongings are then transported directly to our chosen secure storage facility under goods in transit insurance.
At the storage facility, we unload and stack items safely, with heavier items at the bottom and more fragile goods on top. We keep walkways where needed so that your goods remain accessible for future part-collections. When it is time for redelivery, we reverse the process, bringing everything back to your door and placing items in the rooms you request.
We believe storage pricing should be easy to understand. Our charges typically include:
There are no hidden charges for basic equipment or standard loading times. Any potential extras – such as full packing, long carries, difficult access or out-of-hours work – are discussed and agreed before you book. We tailor quotes to your actual needs, so you are not paying for unnecessary space or services.
Hiring your own van and arranging self-storage can look cheaper at first glance, but many people underestimate the time, effort and risk involved. With our professional service you benefit from:
For anything more than a few small boxes, a professional team usually works out more efficient, safer and, once hidden DIY costs are considered, more economical.
We operate to clear, documented standards to protect your belongings and your property:
We are committed to punctuality, clear communication and respectful conduct in your home or workplace.
Your belongings are handled as if they were our own. We use sturdy boxes, padded furniture covers, mattress protectors and floor protection where required. Fragile items are individually wrapped, and we plan the loading order to minimise movement in transit.
We also consider the environment in how we operate. Wherever possible we reuse durable packing materials, recycle used cardboard, and plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. We encourage customers to donate unwanted items so that only what you truly need goes into storage.
Chains fall through, completion dates slip and builders overrun. Our storage service gives you flexibility when your moving dates do not match. We can move everything into storage on moving-out day and redeliver as soon as your new home is ready.
Businesses often need temporary storage for furniture, IT equipment or files during refurbishments or relocations. We can phase collections and deliveries so you keep operating while we store non-essential items safely off-site.
Sometimes you need to clear a property quickly – end of tenancy, probate or emergency works. Subject to availability, we offer fast-response collections and immediate placement into storage, buying you time to decide what to keep or discard later.
Costs depend on three main factors: how much space you need, how long you need it for, and how complex collection and delivery are. We typically charge a one-off fee for collection, a weekly or monthly storage rate based on volume, and a separate fee for redelivery. Access issues such as long carries, difficult parking or multiple flights of stairs can affect the labour time and therefore the price. We always provide a clear, written quote before you book so you know exactly what to expect.
In many cases we can arrange same-day or short-notice storage, particularly for smaller loads or outside peak moving periods. Availability depends on our schedule and the amount of space required, so it is best to call as early in the day as possible. We will always be honest about what we can achieve safely and will never rush a job in a way that risks damage to your belongings. If same-day is not possible, we will offer the soonest realistic alternative and practical advice.
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them between your property and the storage facility. We also hold public liability cover for our work at your premises. The storage facility itself will have its own insurance arrangements, and for very high-value or unusual items we may recommend that you maintain or arrange additional personal cover. We will explain exactly what is and is not covered at the quotation stage so you can make an informed decision.
Our standard service includes collection from your property, careful loading using blankets and straps, transport to the storage facility, unloading and safe placement into storage, plus eventual redelivery back to your chosen address. We provide basic protection for furniture as standard. Optional extras, such as full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and out-of-hours work, can be added if required. We outline all inclusions and options on your quote so you can tailor the service to your needs and budget.
A casual man-and-van may only offer transport, leaving you to organise packing, lifting and storage arrangements yourself. With us, you receive a complete, managed service from door to store and back again, delivered by trained staff using proper equipment. We are fully insured, provide written quotations, and follow established procedures to protect your items and property. Compared with DIY self-storage, you avoid driving large vehicles, navigating tight streets, and carrying heavy items up and down corridors or lifts on your own.
For the best choice of dates and to keep costs predictable, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as month-end and summer. That said, we understand that storage needs can arise suddenly, so we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of collection time, team size and storage duration, and the more accurate and efficient the planning will be.
At Man and Van New Cross, our dedicated Packing and Boxes service is designed to protect your belongings from door to door. Whether you are moving a small flat, a family home, student room or an entire office, we provide the right materials, careful packing and secure labelling so everything reaches its new address in the same condition it left.
Based in New Cross, we understand the types of properties, stairwells, parking restrictions and access issues that are common in the area. That local knowledge helps us choose the most suitable packing materials, box sizes and loading methods for your move.
We offer a complete packing solution – from supplying sturdy boxes and tape to a full pack-and-move service where our trained team wraps, packs, loads, transports and unloads everything for you.
Perfect if you are selling or buying in New Cross or nearby. We carefully pack kitchens, glassware, ornaments, wardrobes and loft contents, ensuring every box is labelled by room for an easier unpack at the new property.
Ideal for tenants moving between flats or house shares. We provide the right mix of small, medium and large boxes so you can move quickly without overloading bags or risking damage to fragile items.
We help landlords clear, pack and store items between tenancies, or prepare furnished properties for refurbishment. Our team can pack and log items so you have a clear record of what is stored.
From small offices to retail spaces, our commercial packing covers documents, IT equipment, stock and fixtures. We use anti-static materials and structured labelling to minimise downtime during your relocation.
Students in and around New Cross benefit from cost-effective student packing. We offer smaller box bundles and quick packing for term-time moves, summer storage or relocating to new accommodation.
For safety and insurance reasons, there are items we usually cannot pack or transport:
If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise you during the survey.
You contact us with basic details: your addresses, property type, move date and whether you want full or partial packing. We ask a few questions about volume and any fragile or high-value items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining the packing and boxes element separately so you know exactly what you are paying for.
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be via video call or an onsite visit in New Cross. We assess access, parking, number of rooms and special items such as pianos, large wardrobes or IT equipment. The survey allows us to estimate the right quantity of boxes and materials and plan our team size and timings accurately.
On the agreed date (often the day before your move for larger jobs), our trained packers arrive with all materials. We protect surfaces, then methodically wrap and pack each room. Fragile items are individually wrapped; heavier items go into smaller boxes, lighter items into larger ones. We clearly label every box with room and key contents to make unloading and unpacking smoother.
Once packing is complete, the removal team loads your boxes and furniture onto our vehicles. All items are secured using straps and blankets to prevent movement in transit. We then transport everything directly to your new address, using our local knowledge of New Cross and surrounding routes to avoid unnecessary delays.
At the new property, we unload and place boxes in the correct rooms based on their labels. We can position key furniture as directed, and we are happy to take back any reusable boxes or materials we have supplied on a return-agreed basis to support our sustainability approach.
We price our Packing and Boxes service in a straightforward way so you know exactly what to expect. Typically, costs are made up of:
We provide a written quote that lists packing separately from transport. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (for example, out-of-hours work or extra materials) are discussed in advance.
While it may seem cheaper to source your own boxes and pack yourself, professional packing offers several key advantages:
A casual man-and-van service may move items but often does not provide the same level of professional packing, protection or insurance cover.
Man and Van New Cross operates to recognised industry standards. Our service is:
We can explain how our insurance applies to your specific move, including any limits or exclusions, before you book.
We treat your property and belongings with care. Floors and banisters are protected where required, and delicate items are wrapped individually. For sustainability, we:
Our goal is to protect both your belongings and the environment.
For family homes and flats in New Cross, our complete packing service removes a major source of moving-day stress. We handle everything from kitchen contents to garden tools.
Businesses rely on us to pack files, computers and equipment securely and systematically. This helps maintain continuity and speeds up getting back to work at the new site.
When time is short, our team can step in to pack quickly and efficiently, preventing last-minute chaos and rushed, unsafe packing.
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the volume of items and how much packing you want us to handle. We can supply just materials, or provide a full packing service with labour and boxes included. After a brief discussion or survey, we give you a clear written quote separating packing, materials and transport. This way you can see exactly where your money goes and adjust the level of service to suit your budget.
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice packing and moving in New Cross and nearby areas. Availability depends on team and vehicle capacity, as well as the size of your move. For smaller flats or student rooms, urgent help is often possible. For larger homes or offices, we will do our best to accommodate you or offer a part-pack solution to cover the most urgent rooms and fragile items first.
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved, and public liability cover for work at your property. Insurance operates within specific terms and value limits, which we are happy to explain before you confirm your booking. We always encourage customers to highlight any particularly valuable or unusual items so we can advise on the best way to protect them and confirm how they are covered.
A standard service can include supply of boxes and packing materials, professional wrapping and packing of your belongings, labelling of boxes by room, and coordination with the removal team for loading and unloading. You can choose full packing (every room), partial packing (for example, just the kitchen and fragile items), or materials-only if you prefer to pack yourself. We tailor the exact package to your needs and set it out clearly in your written quotation.
A basic man-and-van usually focuses on transport only. Our service includes professional packing, quality boxes, careful handling, and formal insurance cover, all delivered by trained staff. We plan your move in stages, provide a written quote and maintain clear communication throughout. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes, particularly for larger or more complex moves in New Cross where access and parking can be challenging.
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking as soon as you have a target move period – ideally two to four weeks in advance. This allows us to schedule a survey, organise the right quantity of boxes and allocate the appropriate team. However, we understand that moves are not always confirmed early, so we will always try to help with shorter notice where possible, especially for smaller properties or off-peak days.
At Man and Van New Cross we provide reliable, well-planned office removals for businesses in and around New Cross. As an experienced local removals company, we understand how important it is to minimise downtime, protect sensitive equipment and keep your team working with as little disruption as possible.
Every move is handled by a professional, fully insured team who move offices day in, day out. Whether you are relocating a single room or an entire floor, we plan each stage carefully so your business can get back to normal quickly.
Working across New Cross and the surrounding areas, we know the local roads, parking restrictions and building access issues inside out. That means we can plan the most efficient routes, arrange permits where needed and schedule your move to avoid peak congestion.
We regularly handle moves for small offices, creative studios, retail units, professional practices and shared workspaces throughout New Cross. Our local knowledge helps us anticipate challenges such as tight stairwells, limited lift access or loading restrictions, so you are not left with surprises on moving day.
Although this page focuses on office removals, our commercial moving service supports a wide range of clients in New Cross, including:
If you are unsure whether your move counts as an office or commercial removal, just ask – we will advise the most suitable service and vehicle size for your situation.
Our trained team handle almost all typical office and commercial items, including:
To protect both your property and our team, some items are excluded or require specific planning:
If you have unusual or particularly delicate equipment, let us know during the quotation stage. We can often accommodate it with the right protection and handling plan.
Contact us by phone or online with basic details of your move: current and new addresses, approximate size of your office, any key dates and access information. We will usually provide an initial guideline price and then refine it after a survey. All quotes are clear and itemised so you know exactly what is included.
For most office removals in New Cross we recommend a survey. This can be virtual (via video call) or on site, depending on the size and complexity of your office. We assess furniture volumes, IT equipment, access, parking, lift use and any dismantling required. This allows us to allocate the right size vehicle, team and time slot to keep your business disruption to a minimum.
You can choose from:
Where required, we dismantle standard desks, shelving and meeting tables, ensuring fixings are bagged and clearly labelled for reassembly.
On moving day, our trained office removals team arrives on time with all necessary equipment – trolleys, skates, floor protection and furniture blankets. We protect lifts, doorways and key walkways in both buildings. Items are carefully loaded in a logical order, secured for transport and moved via appropriate routes to reduce risk to both your goods and the premises.
At your new office, we unload and place items according to your floor plan or team instructions. We reassemble furniture we dismantled, position desks and cabinets, and place labelled crates in the correct rooms or departments. We aim to leave you in a position where staff can set up and resume work with minimal further rearrangement.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our office removals in New Cross are typically priced based on:
Your written quotation will set out the services included, any optional extras and our terms. There are no hidden charges – any potential additional costs (for example, if access details change significantly) are explained in advance.
Trying to move an office with borrowed vans or ad hoc help can quickly become stressful, risky and more costly than expected. Our professional service offers:
Staff and casual help are rarely covered by insurance for damage or injury during a move. Using a dedicated removals company significantly reduces risk to your people, premises and equipment.
Man and Van New Cross operates to recognised industry standards for office and commercial moves. We carry:
Our teams are trained in safe lifting, use of moving equipment, protecting IT equipment and working carefully within office environments. We perform regular vehicle checks and use suitable protective materials to minimise risk at every stage.
We treat every office move as if it were our own workplace being relocated. Floors, walls and lifts are protected where needed, and furniture is wrapped or covered to avoid scuffs and marks. IT equipment and fragile items are cushioned and secured for transport.
Where possible, we use reusable crates, blankets and durable protection rather than disposable materials, and we aim to minimise unnecessary journeys through efficient route planning. If you have unwanted furniture or equipment, we can discuss sustainable options such as reuse, donation or licensed disposal.
Growing businesses in New Cross often outgrow their current space. We handle staged moves so core teams stay operational while departments are relocated in phases, reducing the impact on your clients and staff.
Sometimes you are not changing address, but need to rearrange floors, consolidate teams or change layouts. Our local team can move, dismantle and reassemble furniture out of hours or at weekends, so your office is ready for staff when they return.
Lease changes, building issues or sudden growth can all create urgent relocation needs. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or short-notice office removals in New Cross, prioritising critical equipment and workspaces so your business can keep trading.
The cost of an office removal in New Cross depends on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and IT equipment, access at both properties and the level of packing help you need. Smaller moves may be charged on an hourly rate with a minimum booking, while larger relocations are usually priced as a fixed quote after a survey. To give you an accurate figure, we will ask for an inventory or arrange a visit. Your quote will clearly list what is included so you can budget with confidence.
Yes, we can often arrange same-day or urgent office removals in New Cross, depending on our schedule and the size of the move. Smaller offices and single-room setups are usually easier to accommodate at short notice. For larger or multi-floor relocations, we will do our best to prioritise critical elements such as IT, reception and key workstations. The sooner you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of timing, vehicle availability and staffing levels.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to protect your office contents while they are being moved between locations, and we carry public liability cover for damage or injury affecting third parties. These policies sit alongside our careful handling, protective materials and trained staff. We will explain key limits and exclusions when we quote, and for particularly high-value or specialist equipment, we may recommend you check additional cover with your own insurer so you are fully protected.
Our standard office removals service includes a trained team, appropriate vehicles, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading at your new premises. We can also include dismantling and reassembly of standard office furniture, basic protection for floors and walls, and placement of items according to your plan. Optional extras include packing services, supply of crates and materials, out-of-hours working and additional handling for specialist equipment. Your written quotation will clearly state what is included so there are no surprises on the day.
A basic man-and-van service typically offers transport and labour only, often without detailed planning, insurance clarity or experience in business-critical environments. Our professional office removals service is designed around minimising downtime, protecting IT and working smoothly with building management. We conduct surveys, plan access, use appropriate protection and provide trained staff used to handling office furniture and equipment. For a business, the reduced risk to operations, staff and equipment usually far outweighs any saving from using an informal service.
For small to medium offices in New Cross, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or weekend slot. Larger or multi-phase relocations benefit from more notice so we can plan surveys, packing schedules and any out-of-hours work. That said, we regularly assist with shorter-notice moves where circumstances change unexpectedly. Even if your dates are not fixed yet, getting in touch early allows us to advise on timings and pencil in provisional slots.
At Man and Van New Cross, our man with a van service is designed for fast, careful and reliable moves in and around New Cross. As experienced local removals professionals, we handle everything from small flat moves to business collections with the same level of care you would expect from a larger removals company.
Our man with a van service bridges the gap between a casual helper and a full removals crew. You get a trained, professional mover, a clean and well-maintained van, and proper insurance cover, but with the flexibility and affordability suited to smaller or shorter-distance moves.
We know the streets, parking restrictions and access challenges in New Cross and the surrounding areas. That local knowledge helps us plan your move efficiently and avoid delays, tight turns or awkward loading situations that can cause damage or extra stress.
If you’re moving a smaller home, clearing a garage or transporting individual bulky items, our service offers a cost-effective alternative to a full removals team. We can move furniture, white goods and boxed belongings between properties or to storage with minimal disruption.
New Cross has a high number of rented flats and shared houses. We regularly help tenants move between rooms, flats and HMOs, often with awkward staircases and tight hallways. We manage the heavy lifting, protect common areas and keep neighbours and landlords happy.
Landlords use our man with a van service for swift furniture swaps, end-of-tenancy clearances and delivery of new beds, wardrobes and white goods. We work neatly and efficiently, keeping to agreed time slots to minimise disruption to tenants or contractors on site.
From small offices to local shops, we help businesses move equipment, documents and stock. Our service is ideal for short-distance office relocations, event set-ups, archive moves and deliveries that need a reliable and accountable team rather than a casual courier.
Students moving to or from Goldsmiths and other nearby campuses rely on our man with a van service for term-time moves. We can handle boxed belongings, bikes, desks and beds, and we’re used to working around halls of residence access rules and limited parking.
We regularly move:
For safety and legal reasons, there are some items we cannot carry:
If you are unsure about any items, we will advise clearly during the enquiry stage so you know exactly where you stand.
You contact us with details of what you need moved, where from and to, and your preferred dates. We ask a few practical questions about access, floors, lifts and parking. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining the likely duration and cost.
For more involved moves, we may arrange a short video call or an onsite survey. This allows us to see access routes, staircases and the volume of items so we can allocate the right van size, number of movers and time. Accurate assessment keeps your move on schedule and avoids unexpected charges.
You can choose to pack your own belongings, or we can supply boxes and materials in advance. On the day, our team protects key items with covers and blankets, and we may dismantle simple furniture where needed. We always plan the loading order so essentials come out first at the new property.
Our trained team carries out the loading, using trolleys, straps and professional handling techniques. We secure everything properly inside the van to prevent movement in transit. We then travel by the most efficient route, taking local traffic and access into account.
On arrival, we unload safely and place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble basic items we dismantled at collection, and we will not leave until you are satisfied everything listed has been delivered and placed where you want it.
We believe in straightforward pricing. Depending on the job, we typically offer either:
Your quote will explain what is included: the number of movers, van size, estimated duration, and any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs (such as congestion or parking charges) are discussed in advance so you can make an informed decision.
Hiring a casual helper or attempting the move yourself may seem cheaper, but it often leads to damaged items, injury or unexpected delays. A professional man with a van service offers:
With us, you get a service built on experience and planning, not guesswork. That means less risk, less hassle and a smoother move from start to finish.
Your belongings are important, so we operate with full, appropriate cover and professional procedures:
We keep our vehicles well-maintained and clean, use quality protective materials and follow sensible risk assessments for access, lifting and parking. This professional approach reduces the chance of damage to your possessions or to the buildings we work in.
We treat every move as if we were moving our own belongings. That means using blankets, straps and covers as standard, and taking care around walls, doors and flooring. We encourage good packing practices and can provide guidance in advance so your items are properly protected.
We also take a practical approach to sustainability: reusing sturdy boxes where appropriate, disposing of waste responsibly, and planning routes to minimise unnecessary mileage. When customers no longer need certain items, we can often suggest local reuse, donation or recycling options in and around New Cross.
Ideal for studio and one- to two-bedroom properties, our service handles the entire move in one or two runs, depending on volume. We take the pressure off friends and family, and ensure your belongings arrive in one piece.
For small businesses, our man with a van option is perfect for relocating a few rooms of office equipment, shop fittings or stock. We can schedule work outside normal hours to keep disruption to your trading or operations to a minimum.
Last-minute changes of plan, urgent landlord requests or unexpected opportunities sometimes demand a rapid move. Where availability allows, we offer same-day or next-day man with a van services in New Cross, prioritising clear communication and realistic timeframes.
Costs depend on the size of the vehicle, number of movers and how long the job takes. For smaller local moves, we usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum charge, while larger or more complex moves are often quoted at a fixed price. Factors such as stairs, distance between addresses, parking and the amount of dismantling required all affect the final cost. We will always discuss these openly and provide a clear written quote before you commit.
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in and around New Cross, especially outside peak moving days. Availability depends on existing commitments, van size and the complexity of your move. If you need an urgent service, call us with as much detail as possible, including addresses, access information and item lists. We’ll confirm quickly whether we can help, give you an honest timescale and a transparent price so you can decide how to proceed.
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our care and on our vehicles, and public liability cover for work at your property. Insurance is designed to protect against genuine accidents, not poor packing or pre-existing damage, so we always encourage suitable packing and clear labelling of fragile items. We will explain the key terms and any limits or exclusions relevant to your move before you book, so you know exactly what is covered.
Our standard service includes a suitable van, at least one trained mover, safe loading and unloading, protective blankets and straps, and transport between the agreed addresses. We place items into the rooms you choose and can carry out simple dismantling and reassembly of furniture by prior agreement. Additional options include packing materials, packing assistance, extra movers and multiple drop-offs or collections. Your quote will clearly list what is included so there are no surprises on the day.
Our man with a van service is typically suited to smaller moves, shorter distances and jobs where flexibility and speed are key. You still get a professional, insured mover, but with a leaner team and simpler structure. A full removals service is usually used for larger homes or offices, with more staff, multiple vehicles, full packing services and detailed planning. If you are unsure which you need, we can advise honestly based on the size and complexity of your move.
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need to move on a Friday, weekend or at the end of the month. That said, our man with a van service is designed to be flexible, and we regularly help customers at shorter notice. Even if your move is only a few days away, it is worth getting in touch. We will check availability, offer realistic options and confirm your booking in writing once details are agreed.

Every move is carried out by trained, professional movers using clean, well-maintained vehicles and suitable equipment for safe lifting and transport.
Operating day in, day out in and around New Cross means we know the local challenges well: narrow streets, controlled parking zones, one-way systems and building layouts. We regularly move clients along New Cross Road, through residential streets off Queens Road, and in and out of flats above shops and converted houses.
We plan routes and timings carefully, allow for traffic, and advise on parking suspensions where needed. This local knowledge helps reduce delays, protect your belongings and keep your move as stress-free as possible.

New Cross is a popular area for students, especially those at Goldsmiths and nearby universities. Our student-friendly removals are ideal for moving between halls, shared houses and storage. We offer smaller vehicle options and flexible slots to fit around term dates.
Our removals teams regularly handle:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we normally exclude:
If you are unsure about a particular item, let us know during the quotation stage and we will advise on the safest approach.
You contact us with the basic details: where you are moving from and to, the type of property, key dates and an outline of what needs moving. We respond promptly with questions where needed and provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on your requirements.
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be carried out via video call or in person. We assess access, parking, the volume of belongings, any fragile or bulky items and any dismantling required. This allows us to allocate the right team size, vehicle and time for your move day.
You can choose to pack your own items, or use our professional packing service. We supply sturdy boxes and packing materials, and carefully wrap fragile items and furniture as needed. We clearly label boxes by room, and can provide guidance if you prefer to pack yourself.
On moving day, our team arrives on time and walks through the plan with you. We protect floors and banisters where appropriate, dismantle agreed furniture and load the vehicle in a structured way, securing everything for transport. We then drive directly to your new address using the pre-agreed route.
At your new property, we unload systematically, placing items in the rooms you specify. We reassemble previously dismantled furniture and position bulky items so that you can start using your space immediately. Before we leave, we check that everything on our inventory has been delivered and placed where you need it.
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Your quote will set out:
We typically quote on a fixed-price basis for standard moves, based on the information gathered during your survey. For very small or flexible jobs, we may offer an hourly rate with a clear minimum charge. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional costs (for example, if parking permits are required) are explained in advance.
While it can be tempting to hire a van and do it yourself, using a professional removal company offers several advantages:
This combination of skill, protection and organisation is hard to match with a DIY or informal man-and-van option.
As a responsible New Cross removal company, we operate to clear professional standards and carry appropriate cover, including:
We handle your possessions as if they were our own, keeping clear communication throughout the process so you know what to expect at every stage.
We place a strong emphasis on the careful handling of your belongings and the responsible use of materials:
Where packing materials are single-use, we aim to select recyclable options and can advise on responsible disposal after your move.
Typical house moves involve flats in converted Victorian terraces and new-build apartments, often with limited parking and shared access. We coordinate with you and your neighbours, manage lift usage where applicable and plan carefully to avoid blocking the road longer than necessary.
We regularly assist small offices, creative studios and retail units in New Cross and nearby. Moves are planned around trading hours, with careful handling of computers, servers, tools and stock. Labelling systems ensure everything arrives in the right place so your team can resume work quickly.
Sometimes moves are driven by urgent circumstances: a last-minute completion date, a tenancy ending suddenly or a requirement to clear a property quickly. Subject to availability, we can provide responsive, short-notice support, helping you relocate at pace while still maintaining safe and organised handling.
The cost of a removal in New Cross depends on several factors: the size of your property, the volume of belongings, access at each address, distance travelled and whether you need packing services. Smaller flat moves may be completed within a few hours with a small team, while larger house or office moves require more time and staff. After a quick discussion and, where appropriate, a survey, we provide a clear, fixed-price quote so you know exactly what to budget.
We can often accommodate same-day or urgent removals, especially for smaller properties or partial moves, depending on our schedule and crew availability. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details of what needs moving and your preferred timing. We will assess feasibility, explain any limitations and provide an honest answer. When we are able to help, we still work methodically, ensuring your belongings are properly loaded, protected and transported.
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also carry public liability cover for the work we carry out at your properties. During the quotation or survey stage we will explain the key terms, including any limits or exclusions, so you understand the level of protection in place. For particularly high-value items, it is sensible to tell us in advance so we can advise whether additional cover or special handling is appropriate.
Our standard removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your agreed items between addresses, using suitable protective equipment and professional handling. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture if this has been agreed in advance. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of packing materials, and disposal of unwanted packing materials after the move. Your written quote will clearly set out what is and is not included so you can make an informed choice.
A casual man-and-van service may be suitable for very small, low-risk jobs, but it rarely offers the same level of planning, protection or accountability as a dedicated removal company. We provide trained staff, appropriate insurance, detailed inventories for larger moves and careful route and access planning. Our teams use proper protective equipment and follow agreed processes, reducing the risk of damage or delays. In practice, this means a smoother moving day, better communication and a far lower chance of unexpected problems or additional costs.
For most moves, we recommend booking as soon as you have a likely date, particularly if you are moving on a weekend or at month-end, when demand is higher. Many clients confirm their booking one to three weeks in advance. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy arrangements can change at short notice, so we remain as flexible as possible. Even if your date is not fixed, it is worth discussing your plans early so we can pencil you in and adjust as your situation becomes clearer.

We regularly help homeowners moving within New Cross or to other parts of London and the UK.

If needed, we can provide full or partial packing to reduce the stress of a larger home move.

With Goldsmiths University on our doorstep, we help many students move into halls, shared houses and studio flats. Our student removals are designed to be affordable and flexible, ideal if you have a few key items, suitcases and boxes rather than a full house of furniture.
Our standard removals service covers most household and office contents, including:
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded:
If you are unsure about a particular item, ask during your enquiry and we will confirm what is possible or suggest alternatives.
You can contact us by phone, email or online form with the basics: where you are moving from and to, your preferred date, property type and rough list of items. We provide a clear, written quote outlining what is included, with no hidden charges. For straightforward moves, we can often quote the same day.
For larger or more complex moves, we will arrange a short survey. This can be virtual (video call, photos and inventory) or an onsite visit in New Cross and nearby areas. The survey allows us to confirm access, measure larger items, assess parking and stairs, and allocate the right size vehicle and team.
Depending on your needs, we offer:
We label boxes clearly and protect furniture with blankets, wraps and covers. Mattresses are bagged on request to keep them clean and dry.
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, introduces themselves and walks through the plan with you. We protect floors and high-traffic areas where necessary, then systematically load the van, securing items to prevent movement in transit. Your belongings are transported directly to the new address in well-maintained vehicles.
At your new property, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We will reassemble any furniture we dismantled, position large pieces where you want them, and remove our packing materials. Before leaving, we check with you that nothing has been missed and that you are happy with the placement.
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our quotes are based on:
You will receive a written breakdown so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no surprise charges on the day – any potential extras such as extended waiting times or late key collection are explained in advance where relevant.
Hiring a professional removals team often costs less than you think when you factor in time, risk and effort. With a DIY move, you may need to hire a van, source materials, organise friends, and take time off work, all while lifting and carrying heavy items without training or equipment.
With Man and Van New Cross you benefit from:
This means less stress, fewer problems on moving day and a smoother start in your new place.
We take your peace of mind seriously. All our removals are supported by appropriate insurance and high working standards:
We follow sensible procedures for inventory, handling and vehicle loading so that your items are transported securely and arrive in the same condition they left.
Every move is carried out with care and respect. We use high-quality blankets, wraps and covers to protect furniture, and take particular care with fragile items and electronics. Where required, we can use wardrobe cartons and mattress bags for extra protection.
We also aim to work as sustainably as practical by:
Our goal is to complete your move safely while keeping waste and environmental impact as low as we reasonably can.
Many of our customers are moving between flats or houses within SE14 or to nearby areas like Brockley, Deptford and Lewisham. We handle everything from small top-floor flats to multi-bedroom homes, tailoring the size of the team and van to your property.
We help local businesses relocate to new offices, studios and shop units. By planning cable management, desk layouts and equipment handling in advance, we keep disruption to a minimum so you can get back to work quickly.
Sometimes moves cannot be planned months ahead – you may have a sudden completion date or an unexpected change of tenancy. Where we have availability, we provide same-day or short-notice removals in New Cross, prioritising clear communication and practical solutions.
The cost of a removal in New Cross depends on the size of your property, the volume of items, access, distance and any extra services like packing. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly rate with a minimum booking, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Once we understand what you are moving and where, we will provide a clear, written quote with everything itemised so you know exactly what is included.
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent removals, especially within New Cross and the surrounding areas. Availability will depend on our existing bookings and the size of your move, so it is best to call us as soon as you know you need help. For urgent jobs, we keep the process simple – a quick assessment by phone or video, a straightforward quote, and then we mobilise the right vehicle and team as quickly as possible.
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are on our vehicles and in our direct care. We also carry public liability insurance for additional protection. During the quotation process we will explain the cover limits and any exclusions, and you are welcome to ask if you have high-value or unusual items. We always recommend that important documents, cash and high-value jewellery travel with you under your own personal insurance.
Our standard removals service includes loading your belongings from the property, transporting them to the new address and unloading them into the rooms you specify. We provide protective blankets, straps and covers as standard, and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and packing materials, and disposal of used materials after the move. Everything that is included will be clearly listed in your written quotation.
A casual man-and-van usually offers transport only, often without formal insurance, trained staff or detailed planning. Our removals service is run by professional movers with proper insurance, suitable vehicles, protective equipment and a structured process from survey to unloading. We plan access, allocate the right team size, protect furniture and properties, and provide clear documentation. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings, and gives you much more support throughout your move.
We usually recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, particularly if you are moving on a Friday, weekend or at month-end when demand is highest. For most home moves, 2–4 weeks’ notice works well, but we can sometimes arrange moves at shorter notice if our diary allows. Even if your date is not fixed, it is useful to contact us early so we can provide a provisional quote and discuss likely availability.
