At Man and Van Dulwich, we provide specialist piano removals across Dulwich and the surrounding areas. As an experienced local removals company, we understand that a piano is more than just furniture – it is a valuable, delicate instrument that requires expert handling, the right equipment and careful planning.
Our dedicated piano removals team is trained to move instruments of all shapes and sizes safely, including:
We use piano skates, padded covers, ramps and protective wrapping to ensure your instrument is moved securely, whether it is going just down the road in Dulwich or across South London.
Working daily in Dulwich and nearby areas, we know the local streets, parking restrictions and access challenges very well. That means we can plan routes and timings carefully, and factor in issues like:
This local knowledge allows us to give accurate advice before moving day and to minimise disruption to neighbours and other road users.
Our piano removals in Dulwich are suitable for:
Whether you are moving one piano across Dulwich Village, transferring several instruments between practice rooms, or removing a piano from a property you are refurbishing, we can help.
Our standard piano removal service typically includes:
To keep things clear and transparent, the following are usually not included unless agreed in advance:
If your move requires any of the above, we will discuss options during the quotation stage so you know exactly what to expect.
Contact us by phone or online with details of your piano, addresses and any access notes. We ask about stairs, lifts, parking and the make or size of the instrument. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation that outlines what is included and any potential additional costs.
For straightforward upright moves, a virtual survey using photos or video is usually sufficient. For larger or more complex jobs – such as baby grand pianos or tight staircases – we may arrange an onsite survey in Dulwich. This allows us to measure access, plan the route and confirm whether extra equipment or staff are required.
On moving day, the team will protect key areas such as floors, door frames and banisters. The piano is carefully wrapped in padded covers and secured using straps. For certain instruments we may remove detachable parts (for example, music stands, legs or pedals) for safer transport, keeping all components labelled and together.
The piano is moved using trolleys or skates designed to spread the weight and protect floors. We load via ramps where possible, ensuring there are always enough team members in control of the instrument. Inside the vehicle, the piano is positioned securely and tied off to prevent movement during transit.
At the destination, we reverse the process, moving carefully through the property to your chosen room. We will place the piano in position, remove the protective covers and carry out a quick visual check. We can offer guidance on leaving the piano to acclimatise before tuning, particularly after longer journeys or significant temperature changes.
We believe in straightforward, honest pricing. Our piano removal quotes typically take into account:
We usually work on a fixed price for piano moves, agreed in advance, so you know your costs upfront. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (for example for awkward access or waiting time) are explained before you book.
Attempting to move a piano yourself, or using a casual man-and-van without the right skills, can be risky. Pianos are extremely heavy, awkwardly balanced and mechanically complex. Common issues with DIY moves include damage to the instrument, harm to walls and floors, and injuries to helpers.
With Man and Van Dulwich you benefit from:
This level of care is especially important for valuable, antique or sentimental instruments where replacement is not an option.
Your piano is protected throughout the move. Man and Van Dulwich operates with:
We treat every piano as if it were our own, documenting any existing marks before we start and taking time to protect both the instrument and your property. Our standards are based on years of experience in the removals industry and a strong local reputation in Dulwich.
Protecting your piano and your home is at the heart of what we do. We use padded blankets, wraps and corner protectors, and we take special care over staircases, tight turns and doorways. Where needed, we lay temporary floor protection to avoid scuffs or dirt.
We also work to reduce our environmental impact where possible. This includes maintaining efficient, modern vehicles, planning routes to cut unnecessary mileage and reusing durable protective materials rather than disposable plastics wherever practical.
Many customers book us as part of a full house move, but we also regularly handle single-item piano moves between homes. We coordinate timings with your main removals so the piano is loaded and delivered safely without being rushed.
We work with schools, churches, rehearsal spaces and studios to move pianos between rooms, buildings or new premises. This can include evening or weekend moves to avoid disrupting lessons, services or rehearsals.
Sometimes pianos need to be moved at short notice – for property completions, end-of-tenancy deadlines or unexpected issues. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day piano removals in Dulwich. We will always be honest about availability and realistic timeframes.
The cost of a piano removal in Dulwich depends mainly on the type of piano, the difficulty of access and the distance travelled. Upright pianos on the ground floor with good access are usually at the lower end of the scale, while larger instruments or properties with multiple flights of stairs may cost more. We normally provide a fixed-price quote once we have details or photos of access. This means you know exactly what you will pay before you book, with no hidden fees on moving day.
We can often accommodate same-day or urgent piano removals in Dulwich, depending on our schedule and the complexity of the job. Simple upright moves with straightforward access are the easiest to arrange at short notice. Larger pianos, particularly grands, usually need more planning and may require extra time to organise equipment and staff. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early in the day as possible. We will give you an honest answer on availability and, if we cannot help, we will advise on realistic alternatives.
Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved in our vehicle, and by our public liability cover while we are working in your property. These policies are designed to protect against accidental damage or incidents during the move. We still handle every instrument with the utmost care to avoid claims in the first place. If you have an especially high-value or rare piano, let us know the approximate value so we can confirm that it fits comfortably within our insurance limits.
Our piano removal service includes the provision of a suitable vehicle, a trained team of movers, protective covers and the safe loading, transport and unloading of your instrument. We will place the piano in your chosen room at the new address and remove all our materials afterwards. Standard services do not include tuning, repairs or structural alterations to the property, though we can often coordinate with other specialists if required. Everything that is and is not included will be clearly listed in your written quotation so there are no surprises.
A professional piano removal service uses specific techniques, equipment and insurance designed for heavy, delicate instruments. While a basic man-and-van might move general items, they may not have piano skates, proper padding, enough staff or the necessary experience. This can increase the risk of damage to both the piano and the property. At Man and Van Dulwich our teams are trained specifically in safe piano handling and we work to established procedures. You gain added peace of mind knowing your instrument is being moved by people who understand its value and complexity.
For planned moves, we recommend booking your piano removal at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a particular date or time. This gives us time to conduct any necessary survey, organise parking and allocate the right team. However, we appreciate that completions and tenancy changes can be unpredictable, so we do keep some flexibility for shorter-notice bookings. If your date is fixed, the earlier you contact us, the better the chance of securing your preferred slot at the most convenient time of day.
At Man and Van Dulwich, our man with van Dulwich service is designed for fast, efficient and fully insured moves carried out by trained, local professionals. Whether you are moving a single item across SE21 or a full flat across London, we provide a reliable, friendly service backed by years of hands-on removals experience.
Our man with van service is a flexible removals option for smaller to medium moves and for customers who want expert help without the cost of a full-scale removals crew. You get an experienced driver-loader with a clean, well-maintained van, along with all the protective equipment and know-how needed for a safe move.
Every job includes careful loading, secure transport, and placement of items in the right rooms on arrival.
Based in Dulwich, we know the local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts extremely well. From period houses in Dulwich Village to flats in East Dulwich and modern developments around West Dulwich, we plan your move with local knowledge that saves time and reduces stress.
We regularly operate around Lordship Lane, Dulwich College, Herne Hill, Forest Hill and the wider South East London area. This local expertise means we can often accommodate short-notice and same-day bookings when our schedule allows.
If you are not sure whether a man with van or a full removals crew is right for you, we will advise honestly based on volume, access and timing so you only pay for what you actually need.
If you have anything unusual or particularly valuable, let us know during the enquiry so we can advise on suitability and insurance.
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with basic details: where you are moving from and to, approximate volume, dates and any access issues. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day. For straightforward moves we can often quote from your description and a few photos.
For larger or more complex moves, we may suggest a quick video call or onsite visit. This helps us assess parking, staircases, lifts and the number of items accurately. A proper survey means the right size van, the right number of movers and an accurate price, preventing last-minute surprises.
You can pack your own boxes, or we can offer a professional packing service for an additional fee. If you are packing yourself, we will advise on box sizes, labelling and protecting fragile items. On moving day we bring blankets, straps and basic tools for furniture dismantling where agreed.
Our trained team carefully loads your belongings, using protective covers for mattresses, sofas and other vulnerable items where required. Everything is secured with straps to prevent movement in transit. We use appropriate routes for your destination, factoring in traffic, low bridges and London restrictions.
On arrival we unload and place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify, not just in the hallway. If we dismantled any basic items such as bed frames, we reassemble them as agreed. We only consider the job complete when you are satisfied everything is safely in place.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. For most man with van jobs we charge on an hourly basis with a minimum booking period. The rate depends on:
Your quote will set out the hourly rate, minimum hours, and any likely additional charges (such as congestion charge or parking fees) in advance. For fixed, clearly defined moves we can sometimes offer a set-price quote instead.
DIY moves or casual man-and-van operators can seem cheaper, but often cost more in damage, delays and stress. With Man and Van Dulwich you get:
You are also covered by our goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, something many casual operators do not provide.
We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Man and Van Dulwich maintains:
We follow industry best practice for wrapping, stacking and securing loads. We also provide clear terms and conditions so you understand exactly what is covered and any limits that may apply.
We treat every move as if we were handling our own belongings. Furniture is wrapped or covered where needed, and fragile boxes are loaded in a way that minimises movement. We avoid dragging items and always protect communal areas as best we can.
On sustainability, we aim to minimise unnecessary mileage through sensible route planning, keep our vehicles well maintained for better fuel efficiency, and reuse durable packing materials wherever possible. We can also collect used boxes after your move for recycling or reuse when arranged in advance.
Ideal for studio, one-bed and many two-bed properties, our man with van service can often complete your move in a single trip. We regularly help Dulwich residents move within South London or out to the suburbs, coordinating keys, parking and timings with agents or landlords.
For small businesses, we move desks, chairs, filing cabinets and boxed files or stock, often outside normal working hours to reduce downtime. We can work with your IT provider to ensure computers and peripherals are packed and transported securely.
When plans change at short notice – a last-minute completion, a tenancy ending, or an urgent clearance – our flexible man with van teams can often help. If we have availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day moves, always with clear pricing and realistic arrival times.
Costs depend on the size of van, number of movers and total time required. Most local moves are priced on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, plus any unavoidable extras such as congestion charge or parking fees. For a typical flat move within Dulwich, many customers need between two and four hours with two movers. Once we know your addresses, access details and approximate volume, we provide a clear written estimate so you can budget confidently.
Yes, subject to availability. Because we are locally based, we can often accommodate same-day or next-day requests, especially for smaller moves or single-item jobs. The more notice you can give, the better the chance of getting your preferred time slot, but if you are in a tight situation it is always worth calling. We will be honest about what we can realistically achieve and provide a clear cost before you commit.
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, and public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties. Insurance has sensible limits and conditions, so we will explain these before you book. For particularly high-value items, we may ask for extra details or suggest additional cover. We also reduce risk through careful packing, use of protection, and proper loading techniques.
Our standard service includes an experienced driver, a suitable van, fuel within the agreed mileage, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We bring blankets, straps and basic tools for straightforward furniture dismantling where agreed in advance. Optional extras include packing materials, a professional packing service, additional movers, and disposal or recycling of unwanted items. We will always confirm exactly what is included in your quote, so there are no surprises on the day.
Many casual operators offer little more than a vehicle and a driver. Our service is a professional removals operation: trained staff, suitable equipment, fully insured vehicles and a structured process from enquiry to completion. We carry out surveys where needed, advise on packing and access, and plan moves carefully to avoid delays and damage. You also benefit from proper documentation, terms and conditions, and support before, during and after the move, giving you far greater peace of mind.
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, particularly for weekends and month-end, which are our busiest periods. However, we understand that moves do not always go to plan, so we keep some flexibility in our schedule. If you need us sooner, get in touch and we will do our best to accommodate you. Your booking is confirmed once we have agreed all details and, where required, received a small deposit.
At Man and Van Dulwich, our man and a van service is designed for people who want the flexibility of a small move with the care and standards of a professional removals company. Whether you are moving a flat across Dulwich or an office to the other side of London, we provide a reliable, fully insured service carried out by trained movers who know the area inside out.
Our man and a van option is a flexible removals service using well-maintained, sign-written vans and experienced crews. It is ideal for smaller moves, part loads, and runs between properties where a full removals truck is not required.
Our professional man and a van teams handle a wide range of everyday items, including:
For safety, insurance, and legal reasons, our man and a van service excludes:
If you are unsure about a specific item, please mention it during your enquiry so we can advise or make alternative arrangements.
Based in Dulwich, we work daily in East Dulwich, West Dulwich, Herne Hill, Forest Hill, Peckham, and surrounding areas. Knowing the local streets means we plan your move around school times, parking restrictions, narrow roads and bus routes that often catch out non-local movers.
We can advise on parking suspensions, loading points for flats and estates, and the best timings to avoid heavy traffic through the South Circular and Lordship Lane. This local knowledge helps keep your move efficient and reduces the risk of delays.
You can contact us by phone, email, or our online form. We will ask simple questions about addresses, access, the items you need moved, and your preferred date. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day. For straightforward jobs, we can often price from your description and photos.
For larger or more complex moves, we may suggest a short video call or a quick onsite visit in Dulwich. This helps us confirm the volume of items, staircases, parking, and any fragile or bulky pieces. A proper survey reduces the chance of surprises on the day and allows us to send the right size van and team.
Most man and a van customers prefer to pack their own boxes to keep costs down. However, we can also provide packing services and materials if required. On moving day we protect furniture with padded covers, secure doors and drawers, and use blankets and straps inside the van. Fragile items are wrapped and placed so they cannot move in transit.
Our trained team loads systematically, starting with larger furniture and heavier boxes. We take care not to mark walls, floors, or communal areas, and we work quietly and respectfully, especially in shared buildings. Once loaded, your goods are transported directly to the delivery address unless we have agreed a shared or multi-stop journey in advance.
On arrival we unload room by room, placing furniture and boxes where you want them, not just in the hallway. We reassemble basic items we have taken apart for safe transport (such as bed frames) and double-check that nothing has been left on the vehicle before we leave.
We believe in clear, fair pricing with no hidden charges. Our man and a van work is typically priced:
The rate depends on:
We explain your options upfront so you can choose what suits your budget. There are no weekend or evening surprises – any surcharges are agreed before booking.
Hiring a casual van or attempting a move with friends may appear cheaper at first glance, but the hidden costs can be significant. Professional movers bring:
With a reputable man and a van service, you are not relying on borrowed vehicles, uncertain availability, or untrained helpers. You get a punctual team, clear communication, and accountability if something does not go to plan.
Man and Van Dulwich operates to the same standards you would expect from a full-scale removals company:
We are happy to provide evidence of insurance on request. Our crews are uniformed, polite, and used to working in both family homes and professional environments.
We treat every move, no matter how small, with the same level of care. Furniture is protected with padded covers, TV and mirrors are wrapped, and mattresses are bagged where requested. We plan routes to minimise mileage and combine smaller jobs where appropriate to reduce unnecessary journeys.
Where possible, we use reusable crates, blankets, and durable packing materials instead of single-use plastics. Cardboard boxes can be collected for reuse or recycling. By running modern, efficiently loaded vans, we aim to keep our environmental impact as low as is practical for a removals service.
Perfect for one- and two-bedroom properties, partial moves, and bridging the gap between rental and purchased homes. We can handle everything from a few key pieces of furniture to the entire contents of a small property.
Small office relocations, moving archive boxes to storage, or delivering equipment to new premises are all regular jobs for our man and a van teams. We can work outside normal business hours to reduce disruption.
When plans change suddenly – a tenancy start brought forward, a buyer requesting an earlier completion, or a last-minute clearance – our flexible setup often allows for same-day or next-day man and a van bookings in and around Dulwich, subject to availability.
Costs depend on the size of van, number of movers, and how long the job takes. For local Dulwich moves we usually charge an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, plus any agreed travel time. Fixed prices are available for clearly defined moves with confirmed addresses and contents. To give an accurate figure we will ask about access, stairs, parking and the approximate number of items or boxes. There are no surprise extras – any parking fees or congestion charges are discussed and agreed in advance.
Yes, we regularly accommodate urgent and same-day bookings in Dulwich and nearby areas, particularly for smaller moves or single-item collections. Availability depends on our existing schedule and where our vans are at the time you call. The more information you can give us up front, the quicker we can confirm a realistic arrival window. For last-minute moves, photos of the items and access points are especially helpful. If we genuinely cannot assist, we will tell you promptly rather than overpromising.
Yes. Our man and a van service includes goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are on our vehicle and being handled by our team, as well as public liability cover for damage to third-party property. There are standard exclusions, such as cash, jewellery, and certain high-value items unless declared and agreed in advance. We are happy to outline the cover limits and terms before you book so you know exactly where you stand and can arrange any additional cover if needed.
The core service includes a dedicated van, one or more professional movers, loading, secure transport, and unloading at your new address. We supply blankets, straps, and basic protective covers as standard. On request we can add packing services, dismantling and reassembly of straightforward furniture, and extra porters for properties with difficult access. We place items in the rooms you specify rather than leaving everything at the entrance. All details are confirmed in writing before moving day so you know exactly what to expect.
Many casual man-with-a-van operators offer transport only, often without formal insurance, training, or proper equipment. Our service is run as a professional removals operation: fully insured, planned, and staffed by trained movers using purpose-built vehicles. We carry out surveys when needed, protect furniture, and provide written confirmations. If anything goes wrong, you have a clear point of contact and a company that takes responsibility. In short, you get the flexibility of a man and a van with the standards of an established removals firm.
For weekend or month-end dates, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, as those periods fill quickly in Dulwich. For midweek or off-peak times, a few days’ notice is often sufficient. However, if you know your moving date, it is wise to reserve your slot as early as possible, especially if you have specific time constraints or building booking requirements. We do keep some flexibility for emergencies, but advance booking gives you more choice and makes planning easier for everyone.
Moving in or out of a flat in Dulwich brings its own set of challenges – stairs, lifts, parking restrictions, narrow hallways and strict time slots. At Man and Van Dulwich, we specialise in flat removals, providing a calm, organised move handled by a professional, local, fully insured removals team who move flats in this area every day.
Our service is designed specifically around the realities of flat living in and around Dulwich. We carefully plan access, parking and building rules in advance, then supply the right size vehicle and the right number of movers so everything runs smoothly on the day.
Whether you are moving a studio on the top floor or a large maisonette, we protect your belongings, respect your neighbours and keep disruption to a minimum.
We provide tailored flat moves for:
Every move is different, so we adapt our crew size, vehicle and schedule to suit your flat, your building rules and your preferred moving day.
Our teams are trained and equipped to move a wide range of household and office items, including:
For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded from standard flat removals, such as:
If you are unsure whether we can take a particular item, just ask during your enquiry and we will advise and, where possible, suggest alternatives.
Contact Man and Van Dulwich by phone or online with your moving details: current and new address, flat floor level, lift access and rough list of items. We will provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included, any optional extras and likely timings. For many Dulwich flat moves, we can quote the same day.
For anything more than a very small flat, we recommend a quick survey. This can be via video call or an onsite visit. We assess access, parking, stairs or lift, and the size of your contents. This allows us to send the right size van, the right number of trained movers and the correct packing materials. A proper survey reduces surprises and keeps the move efficient.
You can choose from:
On moving day, we protect doors, floors and bannisters where needed, dismantle agreed furniture and prepare appliances for transit.
Our professional team carefully carries items via stairs or lift, using lifting straps, sack trucks and protective covers. Everything is loaded methodically into the van, securing furniture and boxes to minimise movement. Your possessions are then transported directly to your new address in Dulwich or beyond, covered by our goods in transit insurance.
At your new flat, we unload into the rooms you specify, rebuilding any furniture we dismantled and placing larger items where you want them. We work efficiently but without rushing, helping you get settled in more quickly. On request, we can also remove used packing materials for recycling.
Because we work in Dulwich and the surrounding areas daily, we understand local roads, parking rules and building layouts. We are used to dealing with controlled parking zones, loading bays and timed access for blocks of flats.
We plan your move time to avoid the worst traffic where possible, and we can often advise on the best way to reserve parking or liaise with building management. This local knowledge saves time and reduces stress on moving day.
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. For most flat moves, we offer either:
Your quote will explain exactly what is included – crew size, vehicle, standard insurance protection, and any packing or dismantling agreed. There are no hidden charges for stairs or waiting time unless clearly specified in advance. If your plans change, we will update the quote and confirm any price differences before the move.
DIY moving or hiring a casual man-with-a-van may look cheaper, but flats come with extra risks – long carries, tight stairwells and strict building rules. Our trained teams know how to handle heavy furniture safely, protect walls and doors, and keep to schedule even in challenging buildings.
With Man and Van Dulwich you benefit from:
The result is fewer breakages, less stress and a smoother handover at each end of your move.
We take our responsibilities seriously. All flat removals carried out by Man and Van Dulwich include:
We follow industry best practice for loading, securing and transporting items, and we are always happy to explain how your belongings will be protected.
Looking after your possessions starts with proper preparation. We use padded covers for sofas and mattresses, wrapping for fragile items and blankets for wooden furniture. We take particular care in communal corridors, stairwells and lifts, protecting surfaces and respecting neighbours.
We also aim to work in a more sustainable way by reusing sturdy cartons where possible, recycling packing materials and planning routes efficiently to reduce fuel use. If you would like us to collect used boxes after your move for reuse, let us know.
Whatever your situation, we will discuss your priorities in advance and shape the move around them.
Costs depend on the size of your flat, access (stairs or lift), distance travelled and whether you need packing services. A small studio or one-bed flat locally may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger flats are usually quoted at a fixed price after a brief survey. Your quote will include the vehicle, crew, standard insurance and agreed services, with no hidden extras. Contact us with a simple inventory and postcodes and we will provide a clear, tailored estimate.
We regularly help with short-notice flat moves in Dulwich, including same-day moves when our schedule allows. Availability depends on how many crews and vehicles are already booked, so it is best to call us as soon as you know you need to move. If we can accommodate you, we will give you a firm arrival window and outline what is realistic in the time available. Even for urgent moves, we still work methodically to protect your belongings and your building.
All flat removals carried out by Man and Van Dulwich include goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability insurance to protect against accidental damage to third-party property or injury. Specific limits and terms can be provided with your quote. For very high-value individual items, you should let us know in advance so we can confirm cover and advise on any extra precautions or specialist handling required.
Our standard flat removals service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained moving team, protective equipment and loading, transport and unloading of your belongings to the rooms you choose. We can also dismantle and reassemble basic furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of packing materials, disposal of unwanted items and collection of used boxes after your move. Your written quote will set out exactly what is included so you know precisely what to expect on moving day.
A casual man-and-van might be fine for a single item, but flat moves can be complex. We provide professional crews who are experienced in working with stairs, lifts and tight access, along with proper insurance, equipment and planning. We survey where needed, schedule realistic timings and bring enough people to move you safely and efficiently. Our focus is not just on getting items from A to B, but on protecting your possessions, your building and your tenancy, giving you a more reliable, predictable service.
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at month-end and weekends, we recommend booking your flat move at least two to three weeks in advance. However, we understand that exchange dates and tenancy agreements can change, so we try to be as flexible as possible. If you are still waiting on final confirmation, we can often pencil in a provisional date. For last-minute moves, contact us straight away and we will do our best to fit you in.
At Man and Van Dulwich, we provide a dedicated student removals service across Dulwich and the surrounding areas. As an established local removals company, we understand the unique challenges students face: tight budgets, term dates, shared houses, limited parking, and often no lift. We make moving to and from university accommodation, halls, or flat shares simple, affordable and well organised.
Our student moving service is designed to be flexible. Whether you're moving a single room between terms, relocating to a new student house, or heading home for the summer, we tailor our service to your situation.
Every move is carried out by a trained, professional team with full local knowledge of Dulwich and nearby campuses and transport links. We plan around one-way systems, parking restrictions and loading bays to keep your move smooth and on time.
If you are moving into halls, a shared flat, private rental or returning home, we can move everything in one go, safely and efficiently. We regularly help freshers, undergraduates, postgraduates and international students.
Parents often use our service to help their son or daughter move to or from Dulwich. We take care of the heavy lifting, parking, and handling of fragile items so you can focus on the important goodbyes and settling in.
Many student moves involve shared houses and short-term lets. We are used to narrow staircases, top-floor rooms and tight time slots for check-in and check-out. We coordinate with you and your housemates to keep disruption to a minimum.
Landlords and agents in Dulwich use us for quick, reliable removals when tenants change over, need items placed into temporary storage, or when rooms must be cleared between tenancies.
We also assist businesses and university departments with small-scale relocations linked to student accommodation, such as moving furniture, IT equipment or bulk items between buildings.
We can safely move most typical student belongings, including:
We provide protective blankets, straps and trolleys as standard to keep your belongings secure in transit.
For safety and legal reasons, there are some items we are unable to transport, including:
If you are unsure about a particular item, simply ask when you enquire and we will advise you.
Contact us by phone, email or online form with your move dates, addresses and a rough idea of what needs moving. We ask a few straightforward questions about access (floors, lifts, parking) and your timings. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining what is and is not included so there are no surprises.
For most student moves, a quick virtual survey (photos or a video call) is sufficient. For larger moves or awkward access, we can arrange a short onsite visit in Dulwich. This helps us choose the right size van, number of movers and protective materials, and ensures the job is completed in the time agreed.
You can either pack your own boxes or choose our packing service. If you opt for packing, we supply boxes, tape and packing materials, and our trained team will safely pack books, clothes, kitchenware and fragile items. We clearly label boxes by room and contents, so everything ends up where you expect at the new address.
On moving day, we arrive at the agreed time, protect floors and communal areas where needed, and carefully load all items. Furniture is wrapped and secured; boxes are stacked to avoid crushing. We then transport your belongings directly to the new property using our well-maintained vehicles, covered by goods in transit insurance.
At your new address, we unload and place items in the rooms you specify, helping you position furniture so you can get set up quickly. We can also assemble basic furniture we have disassembled for transport, subject to prior agreement. Before we leave, we check you are happy with everything and that nothing has been missed.
We know students and families need clear, predictable costs. Our pricing is based on:
We offer competitive fixed-price quotes for most student moves in Dulwich, so you know exactly what you will pay before you book. There are no hidden charges for mileage within the agreed area, and any potential additional costs (for example, congestion charges or paid parking) are discussed upfront.
Hiring a professional student removals service is often more cost-effective and far less stressful than trying to do it yourself with friends and a borrowed car. With us you get:
A casual man-with-a-van service may be cheaper on paper but often lacks insurance, training and the checks you would expect when trusting someone with your possessions. Our service is set up to protect you and your belongings properly.
As a reputable removals company in Dulwich, we operate to high professional standards:
We explain our insurance cover clearly at the quotation stage, including any limits or exclusions, so you can decide if you need additional cover for particularly high-value items.
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped, electronics are secured, and boxes are stacked to avoid damage. We take care not to mark walls, doors or communal hallways, which is particularly important in student halls and rented accommodation.
We also aim to work as sustainably as possible by:
Small steps like these help reduce the environmental impact of frequent student moves in and around Dulwich.
For new students and their families, we make the first move to Dulwich straightforward. We coordinate timings with hall check-in slots, manage parking and help you get everything into your room quickly, so you have time to settle and explore.
Many students move between halls, private rentals and house shares during their course. We regularly handle these mid-course moves, often between term dates, making sure your belongings move safely even if you are away or on placement.
When your tenancy ends or halls must be cleared for the summer, we can move your items back home or into local storage. We work to tight deadlines around end-of-term dates and can often combine small loads to keep costs down.
Postgraduates, researchers and small businesses also use our service for moving study spaces, home offices and light equipment linked to university work. We can handle computers, files, desks and shelving with care.
The cost of student removals in Dulwich depends mainly on how much you are moving, the distance between addresses and the access at each property. Smaller moves, such as a single room within the local area, are usually priced as a fixed fee based on a set number of hours and a suitable van. Larger moves or those involving multiple stops may be quoted individually. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear written quote so you know the total cost before you book.
Yes, subject to availability we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice student removals in Dulwich. This is particularly helpful when tenancy dates change unexpectedly, or you need to move out quickly at the end of term. The sooner you contact us, the better the chance we can fit you in. For urgent moves, having a clear list of items and accurate addresses ready helps us quote quickly and allocate the right team and vehicle without delay.
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover for work in shared buildings and communal areas. Insurance has reasonable limits and exclusions, so we always explain the key details when you book. Very high-value items, sentimental belongings, cash and jewellery are best carried by you personally or insured separately. If you have any concerns, just ask and we will clarify the cover in plain language.
Our standard student removals service includes the van, fuel, a professional moving team, loading, safe transport and unloading at your new address. We supply protective blankets and securing straps as part of the service. Optional extras include packing services, packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of basic furniture, and moves involving storage facilities. When we quote, we set out exactly what is included, any time limits, and any extra services you have requested, so you have a complete picture before confirming your booking.
While we offer a flexible man-and-van style service, we operate as a professional removals company. That means trained staff, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover, proper planning and clear communication. A basic man-and-van may not be insured, may lack experience handling fragile items, and might not provide written quotes or confirmations. With Man and Van Dulwich, you know who is turning up, when they will arrive, and how your belongings will be protected from start to finish.
For student moves around peak times – such as the start and end of term – we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. Outside of these busy periods, we can often offer more flexibility and may be able to help at shorter notice. Once you know your move date, it is worth getting in touch so we can pencil you in, even if some details, such as exact access information, are confirmed closer to the day.
Moving home in or around Dulwich? Man and Van Dulwich provides a reliable, carefully planned house removals service tailored to local homes, roads and buildings. With years of hands-on experience in SE21 and surrounding areas, we move your belongings safely, on time and with minimal disruption.
Our house removals service covers everything from small flats to large family homes. We plan each move around access, parking, building rules and your timescales, using the right size vehicle and team for the job. Every move is carried out by our own trained, background-checked staff, not casual labour.
We understand Dulwich’s streets, parking restrictions and building layouts, from period houses near the village to newer developments and estates. That local knowledge helps us avoid delays and keep your move running smoothly.
If you’re upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of Dulwich, we can handle full-property moves, including garden items, sheds and garages. We coordinate with your completion time and keys handover so move day runs to plan.
Whether you’re moving between rented properties or into your first home, we help protect your deposit by carefully handling walls, floors and communal areas. We can also assist with furniture disassembly and reassembly where needed.
We support landlords with end-of-tenancy removals, part-clearances and full house clear-outs prior to re-letting or sale. We can remove furniture, white goods and non-hazardous contents efficiently and respectfully.
Small offices and home-based businesses in Dulwich use our office and studio removals to move equipment, stock, files and furniture between locations, storage units or coworking spaces, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Students moving between Dulwich, campuses and other London areas benefit from our affordable, smaller-load service. We move boxes, luggage, desks, beds and more in one organised trip.
For safety and insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our standard service:
If you are unsure whether an item can be moved, we will clarify during the survey so there are no surprises on the day.
Contact us by phone or online with your move details: current and new addresses, property size, move date and any special items. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume of goods, access and distance. There are no hidden fees; all expected charges are discussed upfront.
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and the quantity of items. Accurate surveys mean we send the right size vehicle and team, avoiding delays and additional trips.
We offer both full packing and part packing options, or you can pack yourself. If we pack for you, we use quality boxes, wrapping paper and cushioning to protect your belongings. Furniture can be disassembled where required, and delicate items are wrapped and labelled clearly for safe handling.
On move day, our professional team arrives at the agreed time, walks through the plan and begins carefully loading. We use blankets, straps and protectors to safeguard furniture and property. Vehicles are loaded methodically to prevent movement in transit, and we drive via sensible routes, taking Dulwich traffic patterns into account.
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it. We can reassemble furniture we dismantled and ensure major items are safely in place before we leave. We aim to get you functional quickly, not just drop everything at the door.
Our pricing is straightforward and based on:
We typically work on a fixed-price quote for full house moves, agreed in advance so you know exactly what to budget. For smaller or flexible jobs, we may offer an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. All charges, including any congestion or parking costs, are explained before you confirm.
Hiring a professional removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using an unregulated casual man-and-van:
While DIY might appear cheaper initially, the hidden costs of van hire, fuel, time off work, potential damage and stress often outweigh the savings. A structured, insured service provides peace of mind.
Man and Van Dulwich operates to clear, professional standards for every house removal:
We will explain the scope of our insurance, any limits and how best to declare high-value items during the quotation stage.
We handle your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped and protected; fragile items are clearly marked and packed with care. Floors, banisters and doorways can be shielded where needed to prevent scuffs and scratches.
We aim to work responsibly by:
Many of our customers move between Dulwich and nearby areas such as Herne Hill, Forest Hill and Peckham. Short local moves still benefit from a fully managed service: we can complete packing the day before and carry out the main move efficiently in one day.
For small offices and studios, we move desks, chairs, IT equipment, stock and archives with careful labelling to ensure everything arrives in the right place. Evening or weekend moves are available by arrangement to minimise business disruption.
Occasionally, circumstances change quickly. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day moves within Dulwich and across London. We prioritise clear communication so that even urgent moves remain organised and controlled.
The cost depends on the volume of items, distance travelled, access at each property and the level of service you choose. A small flat move locally will be at the lower end, while a large family home with packing, disassembly and longer travel will cost more. We generally provide a fixed-price quote after a short survey so there are no surprises. This quote will outline what is included, any additional options, and any circumstances that might affect the final price.
Yes, subject to vehicle and team availability, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Dulwich and across London. The more notice you can give us, the better, but we understand that unexpected changes happen. For urgent moves we focus on the essentials: confirming details quickly, prioritising key items and ensuring safe loading. There may be some limits on additional services like full packing, but we will always explain what we can realistically achieve.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our care and being transported. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to properties. During the quotation or survey stage, we will discuss any particularly high-value or fragile items so we can record them and advise on the best way to protect them. We’ll also explain any policy limits and what you may wish to cover under your own home insurance.
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your belongings between the agreed addresses, with items placed into the rooms you choose. We also provide basic protection such as blankets and straps as standard. Additional options include full or part packing, supply of boxes and packing materials, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and removal of certain unwanted items. Everything included in your move is listed clearly on your quote so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
A casual man-and-van usually offers simple transport only, often without formal training, insurance or a structured process. Our service is a professional removals operation: trained teams, proper equipment, insured vehicles and careful planning. We carry out surveys, allocate the right resources, protect your belongings and properties, and manage the move from start to finish. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and stress. For a full house move, a professional service is usually more reliable and better value overall.
Ideally, book as soon as you have a likely move date, especially if you are completing on a property purchase. For popular days such as Fridays and month-ends, two to four weeks’ notice is sensible, particularly in busy periods. However, we understand that dates can change. We’ll work with you to hold provisional dates where possible and adjust if your plans move. If you need to move at short notice, contact us and we’ll let you know our earliest availability.
At Man and Van Dulwich, we provide reliable, carefully planned furniture removals for homes and businesses across Dulwich and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving everything from single items to full houses, we know how to move your furniture safely, efficiently and with minimum disruption.
Our furniture removals service in Dulwich is designed for anyone who wants their items moved properly – wrapped, protected and handled by a trained team that moves furniture every day. We work with properties of all sizes, from studio flats and Victorian terraces to modern townhouses and local offices.
Every move is planned around awkward staircases, tight doorways and Dulwich’s parking and access challenges. We always aim to protect your furniture, your property and your time.
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Dulwich altogether, we manage complete household furniture removals. From large corner sofas and oak tables to wardrobes and beds, we dismantle where needed, protect each piece and set it up correctly in your new home.
If you are moving between rented properties, you often have tight deadlines and strict check-out times. We offer punctual, straightforward flat and house removals, taking care not to mark walls or floors so you can hand the keys back with confidence.
We support landlords needing furniture clearance or replacement between tenancies. That might be removing old sofas and wardrobes, bringing in new furniture packs, or reconfiguring existing items between rooms or properties.
Our office furniture removals cover desks, chairs, filing cabinets, stock shelving and reception furniture. We can work out-of-hours or at weekends to keep disruption to your staff and customers to a minimum.
Students moving to or from Dulwich and surrounding areas often only have a room’s worth of belongings but still need help with heavier furniture. We provide cost-effective small moves, including beds, desks, drawers and a few boxes.
Some items are excluded from standard furniture removals, or we need to plan them specially in advance:
If you are unsure about a particular item, just mention it during your enquiry and we will confirm what we can do.
You contact us with the details of your move: addresses, access, list of main furniture items and your preferred date. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day. Where possible we offer a fixed price so you know exactly what you are paying.
For larger moves or tricky properties, we carry out a short video call or onsite visit. This lets us check access, parking, staircases and any particularly bulky items. It means we send the right size vehicle, the right number of professional movers and the correct equipment on the day.
On moving day, we protect your furniture with covers, moving blankets and shrink-wrap where appropriate. If requested in advance, we can also provide a packing service for your smaller items. Beds, wardrobes and tables can be dismantled and reassembled if agreed as part of your quote.
Our trained team uses proper lifting techniques, trolleys and straps to load your furniture safely. Everything is secured in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We plan the route to avoid unnecessary delays and keep you updated if there are any traffic issues.
At your new property, we unload and place furniture into the rooms you specify, not just at the front door. We can reassemble agreed items, position large pieces where you want them and take away any moving blankets and protective materials we brought with us.
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our furniture removals in Dulwich are usually quoted as:
Your quote will reflect:
There are no hidden extras: any potential additional charges (parking fees, congestion charge, out-of-hours work) are explained in advance so you can budget with confidence.
Hiring a professional removals company may appear more expensive than doing it yourself, but it often works out better in every practical way:
Casual man-and-van services may be cheaper, but often lack goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and reliable scheduling. With Man and Van Dulwich, you know exactly who is turning up, when, and with what equipment.
We take our responsibilities seriously and work to proper industry standards.
We are happy to discuss the details of cover and any specific high-value items so you are completely clear before booking.
Every move is approached with care. We use floor protection and door protection where necessary and handle delicate finishes and glass with particular attention. Furniture is wrapped or blanketed to minimise the risk of scuffs and scratches.
We also aim to work as sustainably as possible:
Our goal is to move your furniture safely while minimising waste and environmental impact.
Typical house moves involve a mixture of large furniture, white goods and boxes. We can manage the whole move or focus on the heavier pieces while you handle the smaller items. Either way, we work to your timings and coordinate with estate agents or key release times where needed.
For businesses, we move desks, chairs, meeting tables, storage units and reception furniture. We can label items by department or floor, keeping the new office organised from day one. Weekend or evening moves are available by agreement to keep disruption to a minimum.
Sometimes moves happen faster than planned – a tenancy end date moves forward or an unexpected completion comes through. Where we have availability, we can often provide same-day or next-day furniture removals in and around Dulwich. Contact us as early as possible and we will always advise honestly about what can be done.
Costs depend mainly on the volume of furniture, access at each property and the distance between addresses. Smaller moves, such as a few large items, may be charged at an hourly rate, while full-house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. To give an accurate price, we ask for a list of key items and details about stairs, lifts and parking. We will always explain what is included so you can compare like for like with other quotes.
Where our schedule allows, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Dulwich and nearby areas. Availability is best mid-week and outside peak moving periods, but it is always worth calling to check. If we can accommodate you, we will confirm a realistic arrival window and expected completion time. For very urgent moves, it helps if you can send photos or a brief video of the furniture so we can allocate the right vehicle and team quickly.
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for your furniture while it is being loaded, transported and unloaded, subject to standard terms and conditions. We also carry public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property. Certain high-value or unusual items may need to be declared in advance for full cover, so please mention anything particularly valuable or fragile when you book. We are happy to explain the level of protection offered and how it applies to your specific move.
Our standard service includes a vehicle sized for your move, a professional moving team, protective blankets and covers, loading, secure transport and unloading into the rooms of your choice. By prior arrangement, we can also dismantle and reassemble certain items, provide packing materials or offer a full packing service. Parking charges, congestion or clean air zone fees are usually chargeable at cost and will be explained in your quote. We do not disconnect gas or hard-wired electrical appliances; those must be made safe before we arrive.
A casual man-and-van service typically focuses on transport only, with limited or no insurance and less emphasis on planning and protection. Our service is a structured removals operation: trained staff, proper wrapping and securing of furniture, clear booking times, and documented goods in transit and public liability cover. We also provide written quotes and invoices, and we plan access, parking and route in advance. The result is a safer, more reliable move, particularly for heavier or higher-value furniture.
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as you know your likely moving window, especially if you are aiming for a Friday or month-end, which are usually busiest. Many customers book 2–4 weeks ahead, but we can often accommodate moves with less notice, particularly mid-week. If your dates are not yet certain, we can provide a provisional quote and then confirm once your completion or tenancy dates are fixed.
When you need to move today, you need a removals team that can react quickly, stay organised under pressure, and still treat your belongings with care. At Man and Van Dulwich, our Same day Removals service in Dulwich is designed specifically for urgent, last‑minute and emergency moves – without cutting corners on safety or professionalism.
Our same day removals service is a full, professional removals solution delivered on very short notice. Depending on your needs and access at both properties, we can provide:
You’ll get a dedicated vehicle, a trained, professional moving team and full support from initial call to final placement of furniture in your new property.
Working daily in and around Dulwich means we understand local roads, parking constraints, and building layouts. We regularly carry out same day removals in Dulwich for:
Because we know the area, we can realistically assess what’s possible on the day, how many staff are required, and the best access routes, saving you time and stress on an already busy day.
Ideal when completion dates move unexpectedly, buyers bring dates forward, or you face a sudden deadline. We’ll help you get out on time while keeping your belongings protected.
Perfect for last-minute end of tenancy moves, unexpected notice from landlords, or when you secure a new property at short notice and need to move quickly and cleanly.
We support landlords needing same day removals for cleared properties, furniture changes between lets, and urgent access for new tenants. We work considerately around neighbours and building management rules.
For smaller offices, studios and shops in Dulwich, we can relocate key equipment, furniture and stock on the same day with minimal downtime. We’ll agree priorities so your team can get back to work quickly.
Whether you’re moving halls, switching house shares or heading home for the holidays, our affordable, fast student removals can be arranged at short notice, including evenings and weekends where possible.
If you’re unsure about a particular item, mention it during your enquiry and we’ll confirm what’s possible for a same day removal.
Call or message us with your details: where you’re moving from and to in Dulwich (or beyond), property type, approximate list of items, and your deadline. We’ll give an initial estimate and confirm whether same-day capacity is available.
To avoid surprises on the day, we carry out a short survey. For urgent same day removals this is usually by video call or photos, but where time allows we may visit. This helps us allocate the correct van size, number of movers and any special equipment.
Depending on how immediately you need to move, we can:
We supply blankets, straps and basic protective materials as standard. Additional packing materials can be provided on request.
Our trained, professional team will systematically load your items, protecting furniture with blankets and securing loads with straps. We pay special attention to stairwells, door frames and communal areas in Dulwich properties to prevent damage. Once loaded, we head directly to your new address using sensible, traffic-aware routes.
On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing larger items where you need them so you can be functional straight away. We’ll reassemble any items we’ve dismantled by prior agreement and do a final check to ensure nothing is left on the vehicle.
Same day work is more demanding on scheduling, but we still keep pricing straightforward and fair. Costs are typically based on:
We’ll confirm an agreed rate before we start so you know what to expect. No hidden charges – any potential extras (such as congestion or parking charges) are explained clearly in advance wherever possible.
Trying to arrange a move at the last minute can tempt people towards the cheapest or quickest option. However, for same day removals in Dulwich, a professional team offers clear advantages:
DIY moves can cost more in time, vehicle hire, damage and stress. With Man and Van Dulwich, you get an accountable, professional removals service tailored to urgent situations.
Your belongings are important, and even on a same day schedule we never compromise on protection. Our service includes:
We follow best practice for lifting techniques and safe stacking, and we always work with respect for neighbours, shared spaces and building rules in Dulwich developments.
Even when time is tight, care comes first. We:
We also take a practical approach to sustainability:
Completion dates change, chains collapse, or landlords decide not to renew contracts. We regularly help Dulwich residents move home on the same day with calm, organised support.
Lease issues, flood damage or sudden opportunities can mean businesses need to move quickly. We work closely with business owners to move essential desks, IT and stock so trading can resume as soon as possible.
Sometimes a move can’t wait – relationship changes, safety concerns or urgent repair work can all create immediate pressure. Our team works discreetly and respectfully, focusing on getting you and your belongings safely to your new address.
Costs vary depending on the size of the move, access, distance and how urgent the job is. Same day work can be slightly higher than pre-booked moves because we need to adjust schedules and allocate staff at short notice. We typically price based on the number of movers and hours required, plus any travel or parking charges. Once we’ve discussed your inventory and addresses, we’ll give you a clear estimate before any work starts so you know exactly what to expect.
We do our best to accommodate genuine urgent moves, but availability depends on our current bookings, time of day and the size of your job. Smaller flat or student moves are usually easier to fit in at short notice than full house or office relocations. The earlier in the day you contact us, the more likely we can help. If we can’t complete the entire move, we may still be able to move priority items the same day and schedule the remainder as soon as possible.
Yes. Our same day removals are covered by the same protections as any planned move. We provide goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they’re being transported, and public liability cover for work carried out in and around your properties. We’ll explain the main terms and any limits when you book. While we handle items carefully, insurance offers additional reassurance, especially on fast‑moving jobs where there is more pressure on timings and access.
Our service includes a vehicle sized for your move, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading to your new address. We provide blankets and securing straps as standard, and we’ll place furniture in the rooms you choose. Packing, dismantling and reassembly can often be included, depending on time and what we’ve agreed in advance. We always discuss what you need – and what’s realistic for the day – so that the priority items are safely moved and you’re not left with surprises.
A casual man-and-van is usually just transport and a driver, often without formal training or adequate insurance. Our Same day Removals service in Dulwich is a full removals solution: fully insured, with trained staff, proper equipment and a structured process. We survey your move, plan loading, protect your property and belongings, and provide clear pricing. For urgent moves, that organisation and accountability makes a real difference – especially when you’re dealing with landlords, agents, building managers or tight legal deadlines.
For our same day service, you should contact us as soon as you know you need to move – ideally first thing in the morning. While the whole point of the service is to handle short notice moves, earlier contact gives us more flexibility with vehicles and staff. For non‑urgent moves we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, but for Dulwich residents facing immediate deadlines, we’ll always look at the diary and be honest about what we can achieve safely on the day.
