Furniture Removals
Furniture Removals Morden – Man and Van Morden
At Man and Van Morden, we provide reliable, carefully planned furniture removals for homes and businesses across Morden and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving everything from small flats to large family homes and offices, we know how to handle furniture safely, efficiently and with minimum disruption.
Professional Furniture Removals in Morden
Our furniture removals service is designed to take the strain out of moving bulky, heavy and awkward items. Whether you are relocating locally in Morden, downsizing, or moving a few key pieces into storage, we manage the whole process from planning and protection through to placement in your new property.
We use the right equipment – padded blankets, floor protection, trolleys, straps and tools – and our team is trained in safe lifting techniques and furniture dismantling and reassembly. Every job is covered by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for your peace of mind.
Local Morden Removals Expertise
Working in and around Morden every day means we understand local streets, parking restrictions, building layouts and access challenges. From tight staircases in older conversions to new-build flats with lift bookings, we plan your move around real-world conditions, not guesses.
We can advise on parking suspensions if needed, the best time of day to move to avoid congestion, and how to protect shared areas in blocks and estates so you remain on good terms with neighbours and building management.
Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you are moving house in or out of Morden and want your furniture moved safely and systematically. From solid wood wardrobes to corner sofas and dining sets, we protect your belongings and your property throughout.
Renters
If you are moving between rented properties, we help you vacate on time and avoid damage that could affect your deposit. We can move a few key pieces or a full flat’s worth of furniture, working around your inventory check-in and check-out times.
Landlords
We assist landlords with furnished and part-furnished property removals, including clearing or replacing furniture between tenancies, delivering new items and carefully disposing of unwanted pieces in a responsible way where required.
Businesses
Our office and commercial furniture removals service covers desks, chairs, storage units, reception furniture and meeting room items. We plan around your working hours to keep downtime to a minimum and ensure all items arrive ready for use.
Students
Students moving to or from halls, shared houses or studios around Morden can book a cost-effective furniture removals service. Ideal for beds, desks, shelving, and a few larger items that are difficult to move alone or fit into a car.

- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and bedroom furniture

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Get in touch by phone or online with a simple list of what you need to move, the addresses involved and your preferred dates. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the size of the move, access, and any additional services you require.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a short video survey or an onsite visit in Morden. This allows us to assess access, parking, staircases and lifts, and to identify any dismantling required. A proper survey helps prevent delays and unexpected costs on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from full packing, partial packing, or to pack smaller items yourself while we focus on furniture. We protect furniture with blankets and covers, and can dismantle wardrobes, bed frames and tables where needed. Floors, bannisters and doors are protected to avoid scuffs and scratches.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional team loads your furniture systematically, securing everything with straps and padding to prevent movement in transit. Vehicles are maintained and suitably sized for your job. Your goods are protected by goods in transit insurance for the journey.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property we unload each item to the room you choose, reassemble dismantled furniture where agreed, and position items so you can start using the space straight away. We take away our protective materials and leave the property tidy.
Transparent Furniture Removals Pricing
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your quote is based on:
- Volume and type of furniture to be moved
- Distance between addresses
- Access conditions (stairs, lifts, long walks, parking)
- Number of movers and size of vehicle required
- Optional services such as packing, dismantling and storage runs
We will explain exactly what is included before you confirm your booking. If the scope of work changes, we agree any price adjustments with you in advance, not on the doorstep.
Why Use a Professional Removals Service Instead of DIY
Moving furniture yourself or relying on a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, delays and unnecessary stress. Professional removals offer:
- Trained teams who know how to protect and handle furniture safely
- Specialist equipment to move heavy and awkward items without injury
- Fully insured transport so your furniture is covered in the event of an incident
- Efficient planning that reduces the number of trips and time off work
- Respect for your property, neighbours and building rules
For most people, the cost difference between DIY and a professional service is outweighed by the reduced risk of damage, lost time and potential injury.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Morden operates to clear, professional standards so you know exactly where you stand.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your furniture while it is being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and agreed values.
- Public liability cover – protects against damage to third-party property or accidental injury during the move.
- Trained moving teams – staff are trained in manual handling, safe loading, and property protection.
All details can be provided on request, and we are happy to clarify exactly how cover applies to your particular move.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped in padded blankets, corners are protected and items are carefully stacked to avoid pressure marks and scratches. We use re-usable protective materials wherever possible and minimise single-use plastics.
Where furniture is being disposed of, we aim to do so responsibly, using licensed waste facilities or donating suitable items to charities where appropriate. Efficient route planning also helps reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.
Real-World Furniture Removals Use Cases
Moving House Within or From Morden
We regularly help families and individuals relocate within Morden or to other parts of London and the UK, handling all furniture removals and, if requested, packing of smaller items for a seamless move.
Office and Workspace Relocations
From small offices to multi-room workspaces, we move office furniture, storage and meeting room setups with minimal disruption, often outside normal hours or at weekends.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
When plans change at the last minute or a tenancy ends sooner than expected, we may be able to offer same-day or short-notice furniture removals in Morden, subject to availability. Contact us as early as possible to check our schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Morden cost?
The cost depends on the volume and type of furniture, distance between properties, access, and whether you need extra services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller moves within Morden can often be completed on a fixed price, while larger or more complex moves may be quoted after a survey. We provide clear, itemised quotes with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit. Contact us with a brief list of items and addresses for a tailored estimate.
Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture removals?
We can sometimes provide same-day or urgent furniture removals in Morden, depending on our existing bookings and the size of your move. Short-notice jobs are easier to accommodate for smaller loads, such as a few key items or a single room’s furniture. For full properties, availability will depend on vehicle and crew capacity. If you need an urgent move, call us as soon as possible with your details; we will be honest about what we can do and offer the earliest realistic slot.
What insurance cover do you provide for my furniture?
Your furniture is protected by our goods in transit insurance while it is being transported in our vehicles, and by public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to third-party property or injury during the move. These policies operate under specific terms and limits, which we can outline in writing on request. We always recommend you tell us about any particularly high-value or fragile items in advance so we can confirm how they are covered and whether any additional precautions are sensible.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes supplying the vehicle, a trained removals team, protective blankets and equipment, loading at your existing property, safe transport, and unloading and placement of furniture in the rooms you choose. We can also provide optional services such as packing of smaller items, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and extra stops for storage or key collection. Your written quote will set out exactly what is included so there is no confusion on the day.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport only, with limited equipment, little planning and no clear standards. Our professional removals service includes trained staff, appropriate vehicles, insurance, and a structured process from survey to placement. We protect furniture and property, manage access and parking, and provide clear communication and documentation. For anything more than a very small, low-value move, most customers find a professional service safer, more efficient and ultimately better value than a basic man-and-van.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For best availability, especially at month-end and weekends, we recommend booking your furniture removals at least 2–3 weeks in advance. This is particularly important for larger moves or when you need a specific date and time. That said, we understand that plans can change, and we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Even if your dates are not fully confirmed, getting in touch early allows us to pencil you in and discuss options.
Same day Removals
Same Day Removals in Morden by Man and Van Morden
When you need to move today, you need a local team that is organised, responsive and calm under pressure. Man and Van Morden provides fast, reliable same day removals across Morden and the surrounding areas, handled by professional, fully insured movers who treat urgent moves with the same care as a planned relocation.
What Our Same Day Removals Service Includes
Our same day service is designed for situations where you cannot wait days for a slot. We prioritise clear communication, realistic timings and safe handling of your belongings, even when time is tight.
Typical same day services include:
- Same day house removals within Morden and nearby areas
- Urgent flat and apartment moves
- Last-minute office relocations and business moves
- Student moves to and from halls or shared houses
- Short-notice landlord clearances and tenant changeovers
- Emergency collection and delivery of bulky items
We balance speed with protection, using proper equipment, blankets and securing methods to ensure your belongings arrive safely and on time.
Local Expertise in Morden
As a Morden-based removals company, we know the area, traffic patterns and parking restrictions extremely well. This local knowledge is vital for same day removals, where time and access can make the difference between a smooth move and a stressful one.
We regularly work in:
- Residential streets and estates across Morden
- Flats with limited parking or tight stairwells
- High streets and commercial areas with loading restrictions
- Nearby areas including Wimbledon, Mitcham, Sutton and Colliers Wood
Because we are local, we can often respond faster than national firms and give realistic arrival windows based on live road conditions.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if your completion date has moved suddenly, another removal firm has cancelled, or you need to vacate your property at short notice. We can handle full house moves or selected larger items.
Renters
Perfect for tenants who need to move quickly due to end-of-tenancy dates, landlord requests or unexpected changes in circumstances. We are used to working around building rules and stair-only access.
Landlords
We support landlords who require rapid clearances between tenancies, including removal of furniture, white goods and general household items, ready for cleaning or re-letting.
Businesses
For offices, shops and small businesses, we provide same day removals for workstations, stock, equipment and archives, minimising downtime and disruption to your operations.
Students
Students often face last-minute changes with accommodation. Our same day service is ideal for quick moves between halls, private rentals and storage, usually at shorter notice than standard bookings.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
We safely handle most household and office items, including:
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes and other furniture
- Boxes, bags and suitcases
- Desks, chairs and office furniture
- Domestic appliances (washing machines, fridges, cookers)
- Electronics such as TVs, PCs and printers
- Books, files, personal belongings and non-hazardous items
Items Excluded or Restricted
For safety, insurance and legal reasons, our same day removals do not cover:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
- Unsecured large amounts of cash, jewellery or high-value collectibles
- Animals or live plants that require specialist transport conditions
- Very heavy machinery or industrial equipment beyond van capacity
If you are unsure about a particular item, our team will advise what is possible and whether any special arrangements are needed.
Our Same Day Removals Process
Even when everything is happening quickly, we follow a clear, structured process to keep your move under control.
1. Enquiry & Quick Quote
You contact us with your move details: locations, access, dates, and what needs moving. For same day moves, we respond as quickly as possible with availability, vehicle size and an estimated cost based on the information provided.
2. Rapid Survey (Virtual or Phone-Based)
For urgent jobs we usually complete a fast survey by phone, photos or video call. This allows us to assess access, parking, item sizes and any special handling requirements, so we send the right team and equipment first time.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you are ready packed, we focus on protecting and loading. Where time allows, we can provide packing assistance for fragile or bulky items, using removal blankets, mattress protectors and securing straps to minimise the risk of damage.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team carefully loads your items in a logical order, securing them in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We then transport directly to your destination, choosing sensible routes to balance speed with safety.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new address, we unload into the rooms you choose, placing larger items where you need them so you can settle in faster. Our goal is to leave you reasonably organised, not surrounded by chaos.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day moves are typically priced based on:
- Size of vehicle required
- Number of movers needed
- Estimated total hours, including travel
- Distance between addresses
- Any special access challenges (stairs only, long walks, parking issues)
Because same day work often involves short-notice scheduling, rates can be higher than for advance bookings, but we always explain costs clearly before you confirm. There are no hidden extras: parking charges, congestion charges or additional services are discussed upfront wherever they can be anticipated.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
In a rush, it can be tempting to borrow a small van or ask friends for help. In practice, urgent moves are when professional support makes the biggest difference.
- Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and navigate tight spaces safely
- Proper equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps and tools for dismantling
- Efficient loading that makes best use of space and reduces trips
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings
- Less risk of injury to you or damage to property
A casual man-with-van may be cheaper, but often lacks formal protection, structure and backup if something goes wrong. With Man and Van Morden you get an organised, accountable service, even at short notice.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to professional standards on every job, regardless of how quickly it has been booked.
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicle
- Public liability cover for peace of mind in case of accidental damage to third-party property
- Trained, experienced movers used to handling fragile and bulky items
- Well-maintained vehicles suitable for household and office moves
We will explain what is covered and any limits or exclusions, so you understand how our insurance works alongside any cover you may already have.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Even when time is tight, we do not cut corners on care. We use protective materials, safe stacking methods and careful handling to look after your belongings and the properties we work in.
Our approach to sustainability includes:
- Planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage where possible
- Reusing durable packing materials instead of single-use products
- Offering removal of unwanted furniture to recycling centres where appropriate
We aim to provide a responsible same day service that respects both your belongings and the environment.
Real-World Same Day Removals Scenarios
Moving House at Short Notice
Completion dates change, chains collapse and other movers cancel. We step in to move packed households quickly, focusing on key items first if time is limited.
Urgent Office Relocation
When lease dates or building works shift unexpectedly, we help businesses relocate desks, IT equipment and stock with minimal disruption, often outside core hours.
Emergency Tenant Moves
For landlords and tenants, we handle urgent move-outs or clearances, ensuring the property is cleared of furniture and belongings in time for cleaning or new occupants.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a same day removal in Morden cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of the job, distance and how many movers and vehicles are required. Same day moves can be slightly higher than pre-booked work as we are reshuffling schedules and deploying crews at short notice. We normally price by the hour with a minimum booking period, plus any mileage beyond our standard area. Once you provide details of the addresses, access and items, we will give a clear estimate before you commit, so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
Availability depends on how busy we are and the size of the move. Smaller flat or student moves are usually easier to fit in at short notice than full house removals. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better the chance we can help. If we cannot offer a full same day service, we will often suggest practical alternatives, such as moving essentials today and completing the remainder as soon as possible. We will always be honest about what is realistically achievable.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Our goods in transit insurance is in place for same day moves in exactly the same way as for planned removals. This covers your belongings while they are under our care and in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and limits. We also carry public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property. Before the move, we can explain the key points of cover and suggest additional protection if you have unusually high-value items that may require separate insurance arrangements.
What is included in your same day removals service?
Our standard same day removals service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained moving team, loading, transport and unloading at your new address. We provide basic protection such as blankets and straps, and will place larger items in the rooms you choose. Where time allows, we can add services like limited packing help or furniture dismantling and reassembly, though these may affect the total time and cost. We will confirm exactly what is included in your quote so there is no confusion on the day.
How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van usually offers transport only, with minimal protection, no formal insurance and limited backup if problems occur. Our service is run as a professional removals operation: trained teams, proper equipment, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and clear processes from enquiry to completion. We plan access, allocate the right crew and vehicle, and are accountable for the standard of work. This is especially important for same day moves, when there is little margin for error.
How far in advance should I book if my move is urgent but not today?
If you know you will need to move within the next few days, contact us as soon as possible. Even 24–72 hours’ notice gives us more flexibility with scheduling, often resulting in better availability and more options on timing. We can pencil in provisional slots while you finalise details, then confirm once everything is agreed. For genuinely same day work, call as early as you can on the day. The more notice you give, the easier it is for us to plan and keep costs reasonable.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: addresses, property size, access notes, moving date and any special items. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us. Where appropriate, we will suggest the most suitable vehicle size and number of movers for your move.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done by video call or an onsite visit. The survey lets us assess access, parking, quantity of items and any disassembly required. This step helps avoid surprises on the day, and ensures our quote is accurate and fair.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day, or beforehand if arranged, our team can provide:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything carefully
- Part packing – we handle fragile or heavy items; you pack the rest
- Owner-packed – you pack; we advise on best practice and supply materials if needed
We use quality boxes, bubble wrap, furniture blankets and mattress covers to protect your belongings and your property.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional team arrives on time, introduces themselves and walks through the property with you. We then:
- Protect floors and key areas where needed
- Dismantle agreed furniture (beds, tables etc.)
- Load items methodically, securing them with straps and blankets
- Transport your goods in our clean, well-maintained vehicles
All goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance during the move.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property we unload in an organised way, placing items into the rooms you specify. We reassemble agreed furniture, place boxes where they are easiest for you to unpack and check you are happy before we leave. We aim to leave your new home tidy, with no packaging or equipment left behind.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We operate with clear, upfront pricing so you know exactly what is included. Costs are typically based on:
- The volume of items and property size
- Distance between addresses
- Access and parking complexity
- Number of movers required
- Any additional services (packing, materials, dismantling/reassembly)
We provide either a fixed price for the job or an hourly rate where appropriate. There are no hidden extra charges for stairs or waiting time that we have not disclosed in advance. You’ll receive a written confirmation of your quote and what it covers.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional house removals team is usually more efficient and safer than trying to do it yourself or using an unqualified casual service. With us you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to lift, carry and protect items correctly
- Proper vehicles with securing points, blankets and trolleys
- Fully insured cover that protects your belongings and property
- Reduced risk of personal injury or damage
- Less time off work and fewer favours needed from friends and family
In many cases, professional removals work out more cost-effective than hiring a van and doing multiple trips yourself.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Man and Van Morden is:
- Fully insured with goods in transit cover for your belongings while they are in our care
- Protected by public liability insurance for peace of mind at both properties
- Staffed by trained removals professionals who follow safe working practices
We handle your possessions with care, but in the rare event that something goes wrong, you are backed by appropriate insurance and a clear process for resolving any issues.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your belongings starts with good preparation and the right materials. We use strong boxes, wraps and furniture covers to reduce the risk of damage and scuffs. We also protect doors, bannisters and floors where necessary.
We are mindful of our environmental impact. Wherever possible, we:
- Reuse and recycle packing materials
- Encourage customers to return or pass on boxes
- Plan routes efficiently to cut unnecessary mileage
We aim to combine reliable removals with a responsible approach to waste and fuel use.
Real-World Moving Scenarios We Handle
Moving House
From studio flats to family homes, we handle full and part moves across Morden and beyond. We can work around school runs, work hours and key collection times to make your move as smooth as possible.
Office and Home-Office Relocation
We support small business and home-office moves, carefully transporting desks, computers and files. Moves can often be scheduled outside normal working hours to minimise disruption.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves come up quickly – a change of tenancy date, a sale completing sooner than expected, or last-minute changes of plan. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice removals in and around Morden. Contact us as soon as you can and we will do our best to fit you in.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do house removals in Morden cost?
The cost depends mainly on the volume of your belongings, access at each property and the distance of the move. Smaller flat moves within Morden can sometimes be completed on an hourly rate, while larger house moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Additional services such as packing, materials and dismantling/reassembly will also affect the price. The best way to get an accurate figure is to contact us with basic details, and we’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific move.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
Yes, where our schedule allows we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Morden and nearby areas. Availability will depend on the size of your move, the time of your call and existing bookings. If you need urgent help, call us as early as possible with your addresses, property size and ideal time window. We will quickly let you know what we can offer and provide a straightforward price so you can decide whether it works for you.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles and under our care. In addition, we hold public liability insurance to protect against accidental damage to property. We still handle your items as carefully as possible, but this cover provides a safety net in the unlikely event of a problem. If you have particularly high-value or fragile items, please mention them in advance so we can confirm how they are best protected.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained removals team, loading, secure transport and unloading at your new address. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you request, and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture if agreed beforehand. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, and disposal of unwanted items by arrangement. Everything that is covered will be clearly listed in your written quote so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
How is your removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van often provides just a driver and a vehicle, with limited equipment and no formal insurance. Our service is a professional removals operation with trained staff, proper tools, blankets, straps and fully insured cover. We plan your move in advance, carry out surveys where needed and provide written confirmations. This structured approach reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings, giving you a more reliable and less stressful moving experience overall.
How far in advance should I book my move?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your house removal at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you plan to move on a Friday or at month-end, when demand is highest. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy changes are not always confirmed early. If your date is uncertain, contact us anyway; we can pencil you in and stay in touch. We also do our best to help with last-minute moves when our schedule allows.

For larger or more complex moves, we may arrange a short virtual survey via video call, or occasionally an onsite visit in Morden. This allows us to see access, staircases, parking and item sizes, so we can send the right size vehicle and the right number of trained movers. It also helps avoid surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can either pack your own belongings or use our packing service. For students, we often provide:
- Supply of boxes, tape and packing materials (on request)
- Advice on how to pack fragile or valuable items
- Part-packing – for example, just your fragile or awkward items
If you are packing yourself, we’ll confirm any requirements, such as dismantling furniture or unplugging appliances, before moving day.
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our professional, uniformed team arrive at the agreed time. We protect your belongings with blankets and straps, carefully load everything into the van and secure it for transit. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance during the journey. We then travel directly to your new address or storage facility.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your destination, we unload everything into the rooms you specify – not just the front door. We can re-assemble basic furniture if agreed in advance and place heavier items exactly where you need them. Before we leave, we’ll check that you are happy with the placement and that nothing has been missed.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We know students and parents need cost certainty. Our pricing is straightforward:
- Clear, itemised quotes with no hidden extras
- Charges based on time, distance and volume
- Options for fixed-price student moves where suitable
- Competitive rates for repeat or return journeys (e.g. term start and end)
The easiest way to get an accurate price is to send us a list of items or photos of your room. We’ll then confirm a realistic cost and how many movers and vans you’ll need.
Why Use Professional Removals Instead of DIY?
Hiring a van and doing it yourself can seem cheaper, but there are hidden costs and risks:
- Fuel, insurance and mileage charges
- Parking fines or penalties in unfamiliar areas
- Risk of damage to belongings through poor packing or lifting
- Injury risk from heavy lifting without proper technique
- Time lost on moving day that could be used settling in
With Man and Van Morden, you get a fully insured, trained team who move students every week. We bring the right equipment, handle the heavy work and help you avoid last-minute issues with access, parking and timings.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take your belongings and safety seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are in our vehicle
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property while we work on-site
- Trained moving teams – experienced in lifting, packing and protecting furniture
- Clean, well-maintained vehicles suitable for student and small home moves
We work to professional standards, arrive on time, communicate clearly and treat your belongings as if they were our own.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Our approach is built around care and common sense:
- Use of blankets, straps and protective covers during transit
- Careful manoeuvring in stairwells and communal areas
- Respect for neighbours, building rules and shared spaces
- Re-use of boxes where possible to cut down on waste
- Efficient route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage
We aim to balance affordability with a responsible approach to both your belongings and the environment.
Real-World Student Removal Scenarios
We handle many different types of student move in and around Morden, including:
- Moving to university – transport from family home to halls or first shared house
- Mid-year relocations – changing accommodation, moving in with friends
- End-of-year moves – from halls back home or into summer storage
- Graduation moves – moving from student accommodation into a new flat or city
- Urgent moves – last-minute changes of plan or tenancy issues
We also support parents who want a reliable local company to look after their son or daughter’s move when they cannot be there on the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do student removals in Morden cost?
Costs depend on distance, the volume of items, access and how many movers you need. A simple student room move within Morden is usually charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, while longer-distance moves are often priced as a fixed job. To keep things clear, we provide a written quote before you commit, outlining what is included. Sending us photos or a list of items helps us give you an accurate price and avoid unexpected extras on the day.
Can you do same-day or urgent student moves?
Where our schedule allows, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in and around Morden. This is common when tenancy dates change suddenly or plans fall through with friends or other transport. The best approach is to call us as soon as possible with your details. We’ll check van and crew availability, give you an honest answer, and if we can’t help at your exact time, we may be able to offer a nearby time slot or alternative solution.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle, and our public liability cover protects you and your property while we are working on-site. This is one of the main advantages of using a professional removals company rather than borrowing a van. We’ll explain any limits or exclusions in plain language before the move, and we always recommend you keep particularly high-value personal items such as jewellery or cash with you.
What is included in your student removals service?
As standard, our service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, protective blankets and straps, loading, transport and unloading into your new room or property. We can also offer optional extras such as packing materials, help with packing fragile items and basic furniture dismantling or assembly if agreed in advance. Parking, congestion or toll charges are clearly explained in your quote. We aim to provide everything you reasonably need for a smooth, straightforward move.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van hire?
While we offer a flexible van and team service, we operate as a professional removals company rather than a casual man-and-van. That means trained staff, proper insurance, risk assessments where needed and clear, written quotes. We plan each move carefully, bring the right equipment and take responsibility for your belongings from door to door. For students, this provides extra reassurance for both you and your parents, compared with informal transport arrangements arranged at the last minute.
How far in advance should I book my student removal?
For the busiest periods – especially September and late June/early July – booking two to four weeks in advance is strongly recommended, as many students move at the same time. For off-peak dates, a week or two is usually sufficient. However, if you know your move date early, it’s always wise to reserve a slot so you have one less thing to worry about before exams or handovers. If plans change, talk to us as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to accommodate new timings.
Flat Removals
Flat Removals in Morden by Man and Van Morden
Moving in or out of a flat in Morden brings its own challenges: stairs, lifts, tight corridors, parking restrictions and neighbours to consider. At Man and Van Morden, we specialise in flat removals, providing a calm, organised move handled by trained, professional and fully insured movers who understand local buildings and roads.
Specialist Flat Removals in Morden
Our flat removals service is designed around the realities of apartment living in Morden. Whether you are on the ground floor or the top floor, with or without a lift, we plan every detail so your move is efficient and safe.
We handle everything from small studio moves to large multi-bedroom flats. Our team carefully assesses access, stairwells, lift sizes and parking so we can bring the right number of staff, the right vehicle, and the correct equipment for your building.
Who Our Flat Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you own a flat in Morden and are moving to a new home, we provide a structured, fully managed service. We can work to chain dates and coordinate with estate agents, solicitors and building management where needed.
Renters
For tenants coming to the end of a tenancy, we help you move out efficiently while protecting walls, floors and fixtures so you leave the property in good condition. We can also time the move around inventory inspections and key handover.
Landlords
Landlords in Morden use us to clear flats after tenancy changes, handle part-moves, or relocate furniture between properties. We can remove and relocate beds, wardrobes, white goods and general household items.
Businesses
We support small businesses operating from flats or serviced apartments – including therapists, freelancers and remote teams – with office and equipment moves, archive relocation and furniture transport.
Students
Students moving between halls, shared flats or back home can benefit from our cost-effective small flat moves. We regularly move personal belongings, desks, small furniture, clothes and books to and from Morden.
What We Can Move from Your Flat
Our flat removals service in Morden covers most household and light commercial items, including:
- Sofas, armchairs and occasional chairs
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
- Dining tables, desks and office furniture
- TVs, audio equipment and home electronics
- Fridges, freezers, washing machines and other white goods
- Boxes of clothing, books, files and personal belongings
- Small appliances, kitchenware and general household items
- Flat-packed and dismantled furniture
Items We Cannot or May Not Move
For safety, insurance and legal reasons, there are some items we either cannot or may only move under specific conditions:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items or anything that breaches legislation
- Live animals, plants of significant size, and aquariums with water
- High-value items (cash, jewellery, important documents) – these are best carried by you
- Very heavy or specialist items (pianos, safes, large machinery) without prior agreement
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during your survey so there are no surprises on move day.
Our Flat Removals Process in Morden
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your move: current address, new address, flat size, dates and any access notes. We ask a few focused questions to understand what needs moving and your timescales. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For anything beyond the smallest moves, we carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to check access, lift sizes, parking and the volume of goods. The survey ensures we send the correct team size, vehicle and materials, and helps avoid delays or additional costs on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer flexible options:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you.
- Part packing – we pack fragile or bulky items; you handle the rest.
- Owner-packed – you pack; we provide guidance and can supply materials.
On move day, we protect floors and doorways and professionally wrap furniture, mattresses and delicate items before they leave your flat.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained moving team carefully carries items through communal areas, using protective covers and specialist equipment where needed. We work considerately to minimise disruption to neighbours and follow building rules regarding lift use and noise. Your belongings are loaded securely into our vehicle and transported directly to your new address under goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new home, we unload everything into the correct rooms as directed. We can reassemble basic furniture we dismantled at collection, place boxes by room labels, and position main furniture items so you can settle in sooner. We remove our packing materials and leave communal areas as we found them.
Transparent, Fair Pricing for Flat Removals
We price our flat removals in Morden based on:
- Volume of goods (number and size of items/boxes)
- Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, walking distance, parking)
- Distance between addresses
- Level of service (packing, dismantling, reassembly)
- Day and time (weekdays, weekends, evenings, peak dates)
We provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras. Any potential additional charges (for example, congestion charges or parking fees) are discussed upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
Why Use Professional Flat Movers Instead of DIY
Moving yourself or relying on a casual man-with-a-van can look cheaper on paper, but often costs more in time, stress and potential damage. With Man and Van Morden you get:
- Trained staff used to navigating tight stairwells and communal areas
- Proper protection for furniture, floors and doors
- Fully insured vehicles with goods in transit insurance
- Efficient loading and unloading, reducing your time away from work or family
- Compliance with building rules, parking restrictions and local regulations
DIY moves risk injury, damage to the property, and unexpected hire or fuel costs. A professional removal gives you accountability, structure and peace of mind.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We operate to clear, professional standards so your belongings are properly protected:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your possessions while they are in our vehicle.
- Public liability insurance – protects against accidental damage to third-party property, such as communal areas.
- Trained moving teams – all staff are instructed in safe lifting, packing, loading and handling of fragile items.
- Clean, well-maintained vehicles equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys.
We treat every move as if it were our own home, working methodically and with care from first box to last.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care of your belongings, your building and the environment:
- Use of high-quality protective covers for sofas, mattresses and TVs.
- Floor and doorway protection where required in both origin and destination properties.
- Reusable removal blankets and re-usable crates on request to reduce waste.
- Thoughtful parking and loading to minimise disruption to neighbours and local traffic.
- Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions.
Real-World Flat Removal Scenarios in Morden
Moving Between Flats in the Same Block
We frequently help residents moving between units in the same building. With lift coordination, protective materials and an experienced team, these moves can be completed quickly with minimal disturbance.
First Flat Move for Young Professionals
For those moving into their first flat in Morden, we provide guidance on packing, what to expect on the day and how long it will take. This takes the uncertainty out of the process.
Office-From-Home Relocations
Many clients run small businesses from their flats. We move desks, filing cabinets, IT equipment and stock carefully so you can resume work with minimal downtime.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
When tenancy dates change at short notice, or a move becomes urgent, we do our best to accommodate same-day or next-day flat removals in and around Morden, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a flat removal in Morden cost?
The cost of a flat removal in Morden depends on the size of your property, the amount of items, access at both addresses and the distance between them. Small studio or one-bedroom moves can sometimes be completed in half a day, while larger flats may need a full day or more. We price each job individually after a short discussion or survey, and provide a clear written quote. There are no hidden extras; any parking, congestion or additional services are explained upfront.
Can you do same-day or urgent flat removals?
We can often accommodate same-day or urgent flat removals in Morden, especially for smaller moves, depending on our schedule and team availability. If your dates have changed suddenly or you need to be out of the property quickly, contact us as soon as possible with your details. We will let you know what options we have, including evening or next-day moves. While we cannot guarantee every urgent request, we will always try to find a practical solution.
What insurance cover do you provide?
All moves carried out by Man and Van Morden are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicle. We also carry public liability insurance to cover accidental damage to third-party property, such as communal areas or neighbouring flats. These policies sit alongside our careful working practices, use of protective materials and trained staff. We are happy to explain the level of cover in detail and recommend how you can protect any particularly high-value or delicate items.
What is included in your flat removals service?
Our standard flat removals service includes a suitably sized vehicle, a professional moving team, loading at your current flat, transport to your new address and unloading into the rooms you specify. We provide basic protection for furniture and can dismantle and reassemble straightforward items by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or part packing, supply of packing materials and disposal of unwanted items. During your quote, we will clearly set out what is included so you can tailor the service to your needs and budget.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a basic man-and-van service may simply provide a driver and vehicle, our flat removals in Morden are run as a professional removals operation. You receive a structured booking, confirmed time slots, trained staff, appropriate insurance cover and proper moving equipment. We assess access, protect your belongings, follow building rules and provide accountability throughout. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings. In short, we offer the flexibility of a man-and-van with the standards of a full removals company.
How far in advance should I book my flat move?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your flat removal in Morden at least two to three weeks in advance, particularly if you are moving at the end of the month, on a Friday or during summer. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy changes can be unpredictable. If your move is sooner, contact us as early as you can and we will do our best to fit you in. The earlier we know your likely dates, the easier it is to secure your preferred slot.

Local Expertise: Man with Van in Morden
We work in Morden every day. Knowing the local streets, parking rules and building layouts means we can plan your move efficiently and realistically. We are familiar with:
- High-density blocks and estates around Morden town centre
- Permit and controlled parking zones
- Access challenges such as narrow roads, low bridges and tight stairwells
This local knowledge helps avoid delays, fines and unnecessary walking distance with heavy items. We can also advise on the best times of day to move to minimise traffic and disruption.
Who Our Man with Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are moving between smaller homes, downsizing, or clearing items into storage. We protect your belongings and your property, using covers for doors, bannisters and floors where needed.
Renters
Perfect for flat and house moves in and around Morden. We understand check-out deadlines and inventory checks, and we work efficiently so you can hand back your keys on time with minimal stress.
Landlords
We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, partial removals and quick furniture swaps between properties. Our team is used to working around cleaners, decorators and other trades.
Businesses
From moving a few desks to shifting stock and equipment, our man with van option gives businesses a flexible way to relocate or reorganise without hiring a large removals crew. Evening and weekend slots are available on request.
Students
We regularly help students move between halls, shared houses and home. We offer smaller vans and short bookings, so you only pay for the time and space you actually need.

Our Step-by-Step Man with Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with your dates, addresses, rough inventory and any access details. We will ask clear, practical questions and then provide a straightforward, no-obligation quote based on your needs.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For more complex moves, we may suggest a short video call or an onsite visit. This allows us to assess parking, staircases, lift access and any dismantling required. A good survey helps us send the right size van, the right number of movers and the correct equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service at an additional cost. Either way, we advise on suitable boxes, labelling and how to prepare fragile and high-value items. On the day, we protect furniture with blankets, covers and shrink-wrap as appropriate.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team carefully loads your belongings in a logical order, securing everything with straps to prevent movement in transit. We plan the route in advance, considering traffic and access, and drive cautiously to minimise vibration and impact.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination we unload into the rooms you specify, not just to the doorway. We can reassemble furniture we dismantled, and we will not leave until you are satisfied that everything has been placed where you want it, within the agreed time.
Transparent Pricing – How Our Man with Van Costs Work
We believe in clear, simple pricing. Most man with van jobs are priced either by the hour or as a fixed price once we understand the full details.
- Hourly rates for smaller, flexible moves
- Fixed quotes for defined moves with known inventory and timings
- Fair charges for extra services such as packing, dismantling and additional porters
There are no hidden extras: any potential parking fees, congestion charges or late-evening surcharges are discussed upfront. The more accurate your information, the more accurate and competitive your quote will be.
Why Choose a Professional Man with Van Instead of DIY
Hiring a casual van or asking friends may seem cheaper, but it often proves more stressful and time-consuming. With a professional man with van team you benefit from:
- Trained movers who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely
- Fully insured transport, protecting your belongings and property
- Proper equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys and tools
- Efficient loading and unloading, saving hours of effort
- Clear accountability and agreed timings
In many cases, using a professional service ends up costing less overall when you factor in time off work, fuel, multiple trips and potential damage to items or property.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Every move is covered by:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are in our care
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property in the event of an accident
Our movers are trained in safe lifting techniques, van loading, and the handling of fragile items. We follow industry best practice at all times and maintain our vehicles to a high standard to reduce the risk of breakdowns or delays.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your belongings is our priority. We use protective blankets, floor runners and furniture covers where appropriate, and we take care not to damage walls, doors or flooring at either property.
We also strive to work responsibly. Wherever possible we:
- Reuse durable packing materials
- Offer collection of used boxes for recycling or re-use (by arrangement)
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
Our approach aims to balance practical, reliable service with a sensible attitude towards the environment.
Real-World Uses of Our Man with Van Morden Service
Moving House
For smaller homes and flats, a man with van setup is often all you need. We can complete most local moves within a single day, handling everything from your bed and sofa to kitchen boxes and personal belongings.
Office Relocations
We help local businesses move between offices or reorganise within the same building. Our team can dismantle and rebuild desks, move IT equipment (properly packed by you or your IT provider), and work outside normal hours to minimise disruption.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Occasionally, circumstances change quickly – a tenancy falls through, a storage unit must be cleared, or a buyer brings completion forward. Subject to availability, we can offer same-day or next-day man with van services, providing a calm, organised response in what can be a stressful situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with van service in Morden cost?
Costs depend on several factors: the size of the van required, the number of movers, the distance between addresses, and how long loading and unloading will take. Smaller moves are often charged by the hour, while larger or more complex jobs are usually quoted at a fixed price. To give you an accurate figure we will ask for a list of key items, floor levels, parking details and your preferred date and time. There are no hidden extras – all expected charges are explained in advance.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man with van help?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Morden, particularly on weekdays outside peak times. Availability depends on how busy our schedule is and the size of the move, so it is always best to call as early as possible. If we can help, we will give you a clear timeframe and cost before confirming. Even with urgent moves we still work methodically, ensuring your belongings are properly protected and transported safely.
What insurance coverage do you provide?
All of our man with van jobs are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles. We also carry public liability cover, which protects you and your property should an accident occur during the move. While we handle everything carefully, insurance provides additional peace of mind. We are happy to explain the key terms and limits of cover before you book, and you are welcome to ask about specific high-value items so we can advise appropriately.
What is included in your man with van service?
Our standard service includes a professional driver-mover, a suitable van, protective blankets and straps, loading and unloading, and placement of items into your chosen rooms. We can dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture where agreed in advance. Additional services, such as full or partial packing, extra porters, or collection of packing materials, can be added at a clearly stated cost. We do not supply packing materials as part of the base price, but we can provide these on request or advise you on what to buy.
How is a professional man with van different from a basic removals service?
The main difference is scale and structure. A man with van service is generally more flexible and suited to smaller moves, using one vehicle and a compact team. A full removals service typically involves multiple movers, sometimes multiple vehicles, and more extensive planning, packing and project management. With us, even our man with van option is fully insured and carried out by trained staff, so you still receive a professional standard of care, but without the cost and complexity of a large removals crew where it is not needed.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend moves and end-of-month dates we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance, especially during the busy summer months. For midweek and off-peak times, a week’s notice is usually sufficient. That said, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always try to accommodate last-minute requests where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more choice you will have on dates and times, and the easier it is for us to plan your move efficiently.
Piano Removals
Piano Removals in Morden by Man and Van Morden
Moving a piano is never just another job. At Man and Van Morden we provide a dedicated piano removals service across Morden and the surrounding areas, using the right equipment, vehicles and techniques to move your instrument safely and efficiently.
As a local, experienced removals company, we understand both the financial and sentimental value of pianos. Every move is carefully planned, fully risk-assessed and carried out by trained, professional, fully insured staff who handle your instrument as if it were their own.
Specialist Piano Removals Service Explained
Pianos are heavy, delicate and mechanically complex. Our piano removals service is designed specifically around these challenges. We combine specialist moving gear, protective materials and skilled staff to move your piano safely from room to van to new location.
We regularly move:
- Upright pianos (including compact and full-size uprights)
- Digital pianos and stage pianos
- Baby grand pianos
- Grand pianos (subject to survey and access)
- Pianolas and other specialist keyboard instruments
Whether you are moving within Morden, elsewhere in South West London, or further across the UK, we plan the move around your instrument and your property, not the other way round.
Local Piano Moving Experts in Morden
Our team is based in and around Morden, so we know the local streets, parking restrictions, flats, and typical access issues very well. This local knowledge helps us plan realistic timings, choose the right vehicle, and avoid unnecessary risks when moving your piano.
From ground-floor terraces near Morden station to upper-floor flats, new-build apartments and family homes on residential streets, we assess each job carefully to make sure we bring the right people and equipment on the day.
Who Our Piano Removals Service Is For
Our specialist service is suitable for:
Homeowners
Moving house or re-arranging rooms? We safely move your piano within the same property or to your new home, protecting floors, bannisters and doorways throughout.
Renters
If you are renting in Morden or nearby, we help you move your piano in or out of your property without damage, reducing the risk of deposit disputes caused by scuffs or scrapes.
Landlords
We assist landlords who provide pianos in furnished properties or need an instrument moved between lets, storage or disposal. We work with minimal disruption to neighbours and common areas.
Businesses
We support schools, music studios, churches, halls, theatres, hotels and venues who need professional piano removals for performances, refits or permanent relocations.
Students
Music students and families often move between term-time and home addresses. We provide cost-effective, carefully planned moves for uprights and digital pianos around Morden and beyond.
What’s Included in Our Piano Removals Service
Our standard piano removals service typically includes:
- Initial consultation and tailored quotation
- Access check and professional advice on feasibility
- Protective wrapping of the piano body
- Use of piano skids, dollies, straps and padding as required

- Basic protection of floors and key surfaces during the move
Additional services can be arranged on request, such as moving other household items, short-term storage or coordinating with other trades at your new property.
What’s Not Included
To keep your costs clear and our service safe and compliant, some items and tasks are excluded as standard:
- Specialist tuning or internal piano repairs (we can recommend local technicians)
- Hoisting through windows or balcony lifts without prior survey and agreement
- Structural alterations (removing doors, banisters or windows) – these must be arranged by you
- Transport of hazardous or prohibited items in the same load (fuels, gas cylinders, certain chemicals)
- Disposal or recycling of pianos without prior arrangement
If you are unsure whether something is included, just ask during your enquiry and we will clarify what we can safely and legally provide.
Our Step-by-Step Piano Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with details of your piano, collection and delivery addresses, and any access information you have. We ask key questions about stairs, lifts, parking and property layout. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining what is included and any assumptions.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For more complex moves, we carry out a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to measure staircases and doorways, check turns and landings, and assess any particular challenges. The survey helps us confirm the feasibility of the move, choose the right team size and equipment, and finalise the price so there are no surprises later.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time and walks through the plan with you. We protect floors where needed, then carefully wrap the piano with padded covers and secure it on a piano skid or dolly. For grands, we may need to remove the legs and pedal lyre, which are wrapped and secured separately.
4. Loading & Transport
The piano is moved steadily and in a controlled manner out of the property, taking particular care around tight corners, steps and narrow doorways. We use ramps where appropriate and ensure the instrument is securely strapped within the vehicle. Your piano is never left unsecured or unsupported during transit.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, the team reverses the process with the same level of care. We place the piano in your chosen location, subject to access, and reassemble legs on grands if required. We remove our protective materials and carry out a final visual check with you before we leave.
Transparent Pricing for Piano Removals
We believe in clear, honest pricing. Piano removal costs depend mainly on:
- Type and size of piano
- Number of steps or floors involved
- Access complexity (tight turns, narrow halls, lifts)
- Travel distance between addresses
- Any special requirements (evening moves, multiple staff, storage)
Your quote will spell out all known costs upfront. We do not add hidden charges on the day; any potential additional costs (for example, if undisclosed access issues arise) are explained clearly in advance. For straightforward upright moves within Morden, we can often give a fixed price quickly over the phone or online.
Why Choose Professional Piano Removals Over DIY
A piano may look solid, but its internal workings are delicate and the weight is often unevenly distributed. Attempting to move it yourself or relying on a casual man-and-van can result in:
- Damage to the instrument
- Serious personal injury
- Damage to walls, stairs and flooring
- Voided warranties or insurance issues
Our professional team uses the correct techniques and equipment, backed by specific experience with pianos. This reduces risk significantly and gives you peace of mind that your instrument and property are in safe hands.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Morden operates with appropriate insurance and industry-standard working practices. This includes:
- Goods in transit insurance for your piano while it is being moved and transported
- Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to third-party property or injury
- Trained moving teams who understand safe lifting, manual handling, and piano-specific methods
We can provide proof of insurance on request. We carry out regular maintenance on our vehicles and equipment, and we follow safe working procedures on every job, regardless of size or value.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your piano also means looking after your home and the environment. We:
- Use high-quality protective blankets and wraps to avoid scratches and scuffs
- Protect floors and key surfaces, particularly in hallways and on stairs
- Plan moving routes to minimise disturbance to neighbours
- Maintain our vehicles efficiently to reduce unnecessary emissions
- Reuse protective materials where safe and hygienic to do so, reducing waste
Where appropriate, we can also advise on stable placement within your property, as pianos prefer level, well-supported floors away from direct heat sources.
Real-World Piano Removal Use Cases
Moving House
If you are relocating within Morden or across the UK, we can integrate your piano move into a full house removal or treat it as a stand-alone job. Either way, we coordinate timings with your wider move plan to minimise stress.
Office or Studio Relocation
Music schools, recording studios and performance spaces often move or expand. We work closely with your staff to move pianos alongside other equipment, carefully managing access to minimise disruption to business operations.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes a property sale, tenancy change or event date means your piano needs to move at short notice. Where possible, we offer same-day or urgent appointments in and around Morden, subject to availability and feasibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a piano removal cost?
The cost of a piano removal depends on the type of piano, the access at both properties and the distance travelled. Upright pianos on the ground floor with easy access are generally the most economical. Grand pianos, multiple flights of stairs, awkward turns or long carries will increase the price because they require more staff, time and equipment. Once we know the details, we provide a clear, itemised quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for, with no hidden extras.
Can you do same-day or urgent piano removals?
We can often help with same-day or urgent piano moves in Morden and nearby areas, particularly for upright or digital pianos with straightforward access. Availability depends on existing bookings, travel time and whether we can safely complete the job within the time window. Contact us as early as you can, explain the situation and we will give you an honest answer on what is possible, along with any cost implications for short-notice or out-of-hours work.
Is my piano insured while it is being moved?
Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our care and being transported, subject to the terms of our policy and the information provided at booking. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property or injury. We always recommend that you keep your own home or business insurance in place as an additional safeguard. We are happy to provide confirmation of cover and answer any specific questions you may have.
What is included in your piano removals service?
Our service typically includes a tailored quotation, access assessment, arrival at the agreed time, protective wrapping of the piano, use of specialist moving equipment, careful loading, secure transport in a suitable vehicle, and placement of the piano in your chosen room at the destination. We protect key surfaces where required and carry out a final check with you before we leave. Optional extras, such as moving other household items or arranging storage, can be added by agreement at the quotation stage.
How is a professional piano removal different from a standard man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be fine for boxes or basic furniture, but pianos require specific skills and equipment. Our professional piano removals service uses trained staff, piano skids, padded covers, ramps and secure strapping to move the instrument safely. We also carry suitable insurance and follow structured risk assessments. This significantly reduces the likelihood of damage or injury compared to a general man-and-van service that may not be familiar with the particular risks of moving pianos.
How far in advance should I book a piano removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at weekends or month-end, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. This is particularly important for grand pianos or moves involving multiple flights of stairs, where we may need to schedule extra staff or conduct a survey. However, we understand that circumstances change and we will always try to accommodate last-minute bookings where our schedule and safe working practices allow.
Man and a Van
Man and a Van Morden – Local, Reliable Moving Support
At Man and Van Morden, our man and a van service is designed for people who need a flexible, professional move without the cost or complexity of a large removals truck. You get an experienced local driver, a clean, properly equipped van, and a trained porter team who handle your belongings with care from start to finish.
What Our Man and a Van Service Includes
This service bridges the gap between hiring a large removals crew and trying to move on your own. It is ideal for smaller property moves, single items, and light commercial work.
Typical service variations
- Single-item moves – sofas, wardrobes, American fridges, pianos (by arrangement)
- Small flat and studio moves – ideal for renters and first-time movers
- Student moves – between halls, shared houses and storage
- Light office moves – desks, IT equipment, archive boxes
- Store collections – click-and-collect furniture and appliances
- Short-notice and urgent moves – subject to availability
Every job includes a professional driver and porter who will load, secure and unload your belongings safely. Additional porters can be added if needed.
Local Expertise in Morden and Surrounding Areas
We are based in Morden and work across the local area every day. That means we understand:
- Parking restrictions on residential streets, estates and main roads
- Access issues in maisonettes, converted houses and tower blocks
- Peak traffic times on routes such as the A24 and key junctions
- Building rules for local blocks, offices and managed developments
This local knowledge helps us plan your move to avoid delays, choose sensible loading points and keep any disruption to neighbours to a minimum.
Who Our Man and a Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect for small house moves, part-loads, or moving larger items into storage while you renovate or declutter. We can also support main removal days where you need an extra van for overflow items.
Renters
If you are moving between rented properties, a man and a van is often the most cost-effective, flexible option. We work with flats, house shares and HMOs, handling stairwells, tight corridors and lifts carefully.
Landlords
We assist local landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, moving in furniture packs, or redistributing items between properties. We work neatly and respectfully in occupied and void properties.
Businesses
From small offices to local retailers, we handle stock moves, office furniture relocations and deliveries to clients. We understand the importance of reliable timing and careful handling of IT and confidential materials.
Students
Students frequently use our service when moving between halls, shared houses and back home for the holidays. We can move boxes, suitcases, small furniture and bikes in a single trip, keeping costs sensible.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items normally included
- Domestic furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, bookcases
- White goods – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers
- Electronics – TVs, monitors, PCs, printers, audio equipment
- Personal effects – boxes, suitcases, clothes rails, homeware
- Office items – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, archive boxes
- Outdoor items – garden furniture, barbecues (clean and empty), bikes
Items usually excluded or by prior agreement
- Hazardous materials – fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners
- Illegal or stolen goods of any kind
- Live animals or pets
- Heavy machinery not designed for manual handling
- Unboxed loose items such as open bags of soil or rubble
- Extremely high-value items (fine art, antiques) without prior declaration
If you are unsure about a particular item, please ask during the quote stage. We can often accommodate special requests where we can ensure safe handling and suitable insurance cover.
Our Step-by-Step Man and a Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: addresses, dates, approximate list of items and any access issues. We provide a clear, no-obligation estimate with our hourly or fixed-rate options explained. There are no hidden charges for fuel within our normal operating area.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For straightforward jobs, a phone or video survey is usually enough. For more complex moves – such as basement flats, large furniture, or difficult parking – we may suggest an onsite or virtual walk-through. This ensures we send the right size van, the right number of staff and enough protective materials.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service at additional cost. Either way, on the day our team will protect key items with blankets and straps. We recommend that fragile or high-value items are well packed and clearly labelled. We can supply boxes and materials in advance if required.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads the van logically, placing heavier items at the bottom and securing everything with straps and padding. We protect doorways, bannisters and flooring as needed. Once loaded, we travel directly to your new address, choosing sensible routes to minimise vibration and avoid height or weight restrictions.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, not just to the doorway. We place large items in position so you can use them immediately. Before leaving, we check that nothing has been left on the vehicle and that you are happy with the placement.
Transparent Pricing for Man and a Van in Morden
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our man and a van moves are typically charged on an hourly basis, with a minimum booking period. For some jobs, such as single-item deliveries or simple student moves, we may offer a fixed price.
Your quote will clearly state:
- The number of movers included and the size of van
- The hourly rate or fixed price agreed
- Any additional services, such as packing or dismantling
- Any out-of-area mileage or congestion charges, if applicable
There are no surprise extras on the day. If it looks like the job will exceed the estimated time due to circumstances outside our control (for example, lift failures, unadvised extra items), we will discuss options with you openly before proceeding.
Why Choose Professional Man and a Van Over DIY
Hiring a casual driver or trying to move everything yourself can quickly become stressful and risky. With Man and Van Morden you benefit from:
- Trained porters who understand safe lifting and loading practices
- Purpose-built vans with blankets, straps and trolleys
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property
- Proper planning of access, parking and timing
This reduces the risk of damage to your items, the property, and to yourself or friends helping with heavy lifting. In many cases, a professional man and a van works out better value than multiple trips in a hire van.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to clear standards so that you know exactly where you stand:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are on our vehicle, subject to terms and packing standards
- Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to buildings or third parties during the move
- Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in manual handling, load security and customer care
We will explain any insurance limits and conditions before your move, particularly for unusually valuable items, so you can make informed decisions.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take genuine care with what we move. Vans are equipped with blankets, straps, floor protection and trolleys. We minimise dragging and avoid unnecessary dismantling where possible to reduce wear and tear.
Where we can, we reuse and recycle packing materials, and we encourage customers to use strong, reusable crates or boxes. Efficient route planning reduces unnecessary mileage and fuel use, which is better for both costs and the environment.
Real-World Uses of Our Man and a Van Service
Moving House or Flat
Smaller moves, such as one- or two-bedroom flats, often fit perfectly into a man and a van service. We can complete them in a single trip, carefully managing tight staircases, parking bays and lift access.
Office and Business Relocation
For small offices or phased moves, a man and a van can be more flexible than a large removal truck. We can move sections of the office at a time, reducing downtime and working around your operating hours.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Life does not always give much notice. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day man and a van support for urgent situations, such as last-minute tenancy changes or store collections. Availability is limited, so it is always best to call as early as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and a van in Morden cost?
Costs depend mainly on how long the job takes, how many movers you need and the distance between addresses. We typically charge an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, which we will confirm before you commit. For straightforward jobs, like a small flat move or single-item delivery, we may offer a fixed price. To keep costs down, have everything packed and ready, reserve parking where possible and give us an accurate item list so we can estimate time realistically.
Can you offer same-day or urgent man and a van bookings?
We do offer same-day or urgent bookings where our schedule allows. These are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and availability can be tight at weekends and month-end. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as you can with full details of addresses, access and items. We will confirm whether we can help, what time we can attend, and provide a clear price before you decide. Where we cannot assist, we will always say so honestly.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Our man and a van service includes goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are on our vehicle, and public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. Like all policies, there are limits and conditions, particularly around packing quality and excluded items. We will explain these when you book so you know exactly what is covered. If you have particularly high-value items, please tell us in advance so we can advise on the most appropriate handling and any additional cover required.
What is included in your man and a van removals service?
Our standard service includes a professional driver, at least one porter, an appropriately sized van, and the use of removal blankets, straps and basic moving equipment. We load, secure and unload your belongings into the rooms you choose. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, and dismantling or reassembly of certain furniture items by prior agreement. We do not provide cleaning or waste disposal as part of this service, but we are happy to recommend specialists if required.
How is a professional removals man and a van different from a casual service?
With a professional operator like Man and Van Morden, you benefit from insured vehicles, trained staff and clear standards of service. Our vans carry proper protective materials and equipment, and our teams follow safe lifting and loading practices. A casual man and van may be cheaper at first glance, but often lacks adequate insurance, planning and care. This can lead to damage, disputes or delays. Our goal is a predictable, well-managed move that protects both your belongings and your time.
How far in advance should I book?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at weekends and month-end, we recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance. However, we understand that smaller moves often come together quickly, so we regularly accommodate bookings with only a few days’ notice. If your dates are flexible, we can sometimes suggest quieter days or times that may suit your schedule and budget better. Whatever your situation, contact us as soon as you know roughly when you need to move, and we will do our best to help.

Our Step-by-Step Man and Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote

We’ll ask a few focused questions to understand access, stairs, lifts and parking. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and suggest the right van size and number of movers.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger man and van moves, we may recommend a short virtual or onsite survey. This helps us confirm volumes, highlight tight staircases or access issues and plan any dismantling. Accurate assessment reduces the risk of delays and ensures we bring the correct equipment.

5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload and place items in the rooms you specify. We’ll position bulky furniture where you want it and ensure nothing is left in communal areas or hallways. Before we leave, we do a quick check with you to confirm everything has been unloaded safely.
Transparent Pricing for Man and Van in Morden
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our man and van service is usually charged on an hourly basis, with a minimum booking period. For some moves we can agree a fixed price once we understand your requirements fully.

- Clear explanation of any additional time charges
- Parking and congestion/ULEZ charges discussed upfront where applicable
- Optional packing services and materials priced separately
You only pay for the service you actually need, and we always try to match the job to the most cost-effective option for you.

Office and Business Relocations
From moving a single office to relocating a small business, we work outside normal hours where needed to keep disruption down. We carefully load desks, chairs, screens and boxed files, ensuring everything arrives together and in good order.
Urgent or Same-Day Moves

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and van service in Morden cost?
Costs depend on the size of van, number of movers and the time required. Most local moves are priced on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, which we’ll confirm before you commit. Factors such as stairs, distance between addresses and the amount of furniture all affect the final price. We’re always happy to give clear, written estimates based on the details you provide, and we’ll suggest ways to keep costs down, such as having items ready near the entrance and dismantling basic furniture in advance.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man and van bookings?
We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Morden, especially on weekdays or outside peak moving dates. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job, so it’s best to call us as soon as you know you need help. For urgent moves we keep the process simple: a quick assessment over the phone, a clear hourly rate, and confirmation of arrival time. While we can’t guarantee emergency availability every day, we will always advise honestly about what’s possible.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. Like any policy, there are terms and limits, for example on high-value or fragile items, so we encourage you to tell us about anything particularly valuable or delicate. We can then advise on the best way to protect it, and whether any extra arrangements are sensible. Our team also focuses on prevention, using protective materials and careful handling throughout.
What is included in your man and van removals service?
Our standard service includes the van, fuel, a professional driver-mover (and extra movers where agreed), loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We provide basic protective equipment such as blankets, straps and trolleys. Packing, dismantling and reassembly are not automatically included, but we can add them if you need extra help. Parking costs, congestion or ULEZ charges are discussed upfront where relevant. Before you book, we’ll confirm exactly what is and isn’t covered so there are no surprises on the day.
How is a professional removals man and van different from a casual service?
A professional man and van operator offers trained staff, appropriate insurance, written confirmations and proper equipment. Casual services may be cheaper upfront, but can lack accountability, arrive late or be unsuitable for larger or fragile items. With us, you know who is arriving, what vehicle they’re using, and how your belongings will be protected. We follow clear procedures, communicate if anything changes, and take responsibility for the quality of the move – which many customers find worth the small difference in price.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend or end-of-month moves in Morden, booking 1–2 weeks in advance is sensible, especially in busier periods like summer. For midweek or off-peak moves, we can often accommodate you with a few days’ notice. If you have a fixed handover or key-collection time, it’s best to book as soon as that is confirmed so we can reserve the slot. Even if your dates are not final, we’re happy to discuss options and pencil in provisional arrangements where practical.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact Man and Van Morden by phone or online with your moving details. We will ask about your current property, destination, access, inventory and preferred dates. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and recommend the right van size and team.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to see access points, stairways, parking, and any fragile or high-value items. It helps avoid unexpected issues on the day and ensures we allocate the correct removal van and number of movers.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service if required. We offer materials such as boxes, tape and wrapping. On moving day, we protect large items with blankets, covers and shrink-wrap where appropriate, and we label everything clearly for easy unloading.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads the van systematically, securing items to prevent movement in transit. We use straps and trolleys to protect both your belongings and the property. Your goods are then transported in our well-maintained vehicles, covered by goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload methodically and place items in the rooms you specify. We can reassemble basic furniture on request and will position large items such as beds, wardrobes and white goods ready for use. Before we leave, we check that you are satisfied and nothing has been overlooked.
Transparent and Fair Pricing
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing for our removal van services in Morden. Costs are based on:
- Volume and type of items to be moved
- Distance between properties
- Access conditions and floor level
- Number of movers required
- Optional services such as packing and materials
You will receive a clear breakdown with no hidden charges. Parking fees, congestion and toll charges are explained in advance where applicable. For smaller moves, we may offer competitive hourly rates; for larger moves, we usually agree a fixed price so you know exactly where you stand.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removal van service in Morden offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual, unregulated operator:
- Reduced risk of damage to furniture, walls and stairways
- Faster loading and unloading by experienced teams
- Use of correct equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys and protective covers
- Proper insurance in case something goes wrong
- Less physical strain and stress for you and your family or staff

How much does a removal van in Morden cost?
The cost of hiring a removal van with Man and Van Morden depends on the volume of items, distance, access and the level of service you need. Smaller local moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. This fixed price often offers better value and peace of mind. We provide a clear breakdown in advance, so you know exactly what is included and can compare options before committing.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?
Yes, subject to availability we can often help with same-day or urgent moves in and around Morden. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as early as possible with your details. We will check our schedule, the size of van required and the number of movers needed, then confirm if we can accommodate your timing. While we cannot guarantee last-minute availability every day, we do our best to prioritise genuine urgent situations and offer practical solutions.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Our removal van service includes goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded. We also hold public liability cover for work carried out in and around your property. As with any insurance, there are limits and exclusions, which we are happy to explain before you book. For particularly high-value or specialist items, you may wish to arrange additional cover, and we can advise on the information your insurer may require.
What is included in your removal van service?
Our standard service includes a suitable removal van, trained movers, loading, secure transport and unloading to the rooms you request. We supply standard equipment such as blankets, straps and trolleys to protect your items. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials and dismantling/reassembly of basic furniture. Parking fees, congestion and toll charges are discussed in advance. We always confirm exactly what is included in writing, so you have a clear understanding and no surprises on moving day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While we offer the flexibility of a man-and-van, our approach is closer to a structured, professional removals service. We provide trained teams, proper planning, surveys for larger moves, and full insurance cover. Our vehicles are maintained specifically for removals, with the right protection equipment on board. We also offer additional services such as packing and furniture assembly. In short, you get the convenience of a flexible van service combined with the reassurance and standards of an established removals company.
How far in advance should I book a removal van?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your Morden removal van at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday, weekend or at month-end. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change. If your dates are not fixed, we can pencil in provisional bookings and confirm closer to the time. We also handle short-notice moves when our schedule allows, so it is always worth calling to check availability.

We assist landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, partial removals, and safe storage of items between tenancies. We can remove unwanted furniture (subject to disposal rules) and prepare properties for new occupants.

From small offices to shops and studios, our business removal services minimise downtime. We label and position desks, IT equipment and stock according to your floor plan, helping your team get back to work quickly.

We regularly help students moving to or from Morden, including shared houses and halls further afield. Compact, budget-conscious moves can still benefit from professional handling of laptops, musical instruments, and personal belongings.
What Our Removal Services Include
Items Typically Included
We can usually move:
- Household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers
- Boxes of personal items, books, clothes and kitchenware
- Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment (securely wrapped)
- Office furniture and equipment
- Bicycles, small garden furniture and tools
Items We Cannot or May Not Move
For safety and regulatory reasons, we normally exclude:
- Hazardous materials (paint tins, solvents, gas cylinders, fuel)
- Illegal items of any kind
- Live animals and pets
- Perishable food for long-distance moves
- Very high-value items such as jewellery, cash or important documents (we recommend you transport these personally)
If you are unsure about a specific item, just ask when you enquire and we will advise you.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or our online form with basic details of your move: addresses, dates, property size and any special items. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote. Where possible we offer a fixed price so you know exactly what to budget.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to see access points, stairs, lifts, parking, and all items to be moved. We then confirm the most suitable vehicle size, team strength, and schedule. This step helps prevent surprises on moving day and keeps your quote accurate.
3. Packing & Preparation
We can provide a packing service, supply packing materials, or work with your own boxes if you prefer to pack yourself. Fragile items such as glassware, artwork and electronics are wrapped and protected. Furniture that needs dismantling is carefully taken apart, with fixings kept safe and labelled.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, carries out a brief walk-through, and then begins loading. We use protective blankets, straps and trolleys to safeguard your items and property. All goods are secured in the vehicle before we set off, choosing sensible routes and driving with care.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload items into the rooms you specify. Furniture is reassembled where agreed, and we place boxes where you can easily access them. Before leaving, we check that nothing has been missed and that you are happy with the final placement.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services
Our pricing is straightforward. We typically base quotes on:
- Volume of goods (property size and number of items)
- Distance between addresses
- Access issues (stairs, long walks, parking restrictions)
- Additional services (packing, dismantling, materials)
- Day and time – weekday vs weekend or out-of-hours moves
We are happy to provide fixed-price quotes for clearly defined jobs. For smaller or flexible moves, we may offer competitive hourly rates, always explained in advance. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional charges (such as congestion or parking fees) are discussed before you book.
Why Use Professional Removal Services Instead of DIY
Hiring a professional removal company in Morden means your move is planned and supervised from start to finish. Our trained team knows how to lift safely, protect your property, and load vehicles to prevent damage in transit. We bring the right tools, from dollies to furniture blankets, and we are fully insured.
DIY moves or casual man-and-van arrangements can seem cheaper, but the risks include damage to belongings, injury from heavy lifting, and unexpected delays. By using an established company like Man and Van Morden, you gain predictable timings, clear costs, and proper protection for your possessions.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously. Man and Van Morden is:
- Fully insured with goods in transit cover for your belongings while they are in our care
- Protected by public liability insurance for work on your premises
- Staffed by trained, experienced movers who follow safe handling procedures
We maintain our vehicles regularly and use appropriate protective materials for each move. You receive clear terms and conditions outlining what is covered, response procedures and how we handle any unlikely issues.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your belongings and your property are treated with respect at every stage. We use floor protection where needed, wrap vulnerable furniture, and secure loads properly. Corners, doorframes and communal areas are carefully navigated to avoid scuffs and damage.
We also pay attention to sustainability. Wherever possible we:
- Reuse and recycle cardboard boxes and packing materials
- Plan efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Offer advice on responsible disposal of unwanted items
Our goal is to move you efficiently while minimising waste and disruption.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Morden Removal Services
Moving House
From first-time buyers in Morden flats to families relocating to larger homes, we handle complete household moves. We coordinate carefully with estate agents and completion times, and we understand that moving day can be stressful, so we keep communication clear and steady.
Office Relocations
We support businesses moving within Morden or across London. Desks, filing cabinets, stock, and IT equipment are labelled, moved and placed according to your layout plan, helping you get back to normal operations as quickly as possible.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves cannot be planned months in advance. Where availability allows, we offer same-day or short-notice removal services in and around Morden, focusing on essential items first and structuring the move sensibly around your timescales.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in Morden cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your move, the distance between properties, and any additional services such as packing or dismantling. A small flat move within Morden will usually be cheaper than a full family home going long-distance. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what is included. We can offer either fixed prices or hourly rates, depending on the nature of your move. There are no hidden extras, and any parking or congestion charges are discussed in advance.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
Yes, where diary space allows we can provide same-day or short-notice moves in Morden and nearby areas. Availability will depend on the time of year and the size of your move, so it is always best to call us as soon as you know you need to relocate. For urgent jobs, we focus on the essentials, ensuring the key furniture and boxed items are safely moved first. We will be honest about what is achievable in the time available and tailor the service accordingly.
What insurance cover do you provide?
We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, and public liability insurance for work in and around your property. This protection is designed to give you peace of mind in the unlikely event that something goes wrong. We handle items carefully to avoid any issues in the first place, but you will receive our terms in writing so you understand exactly what is covered, any limits that apply, and how we would resolve any claims.
What is included in your removal service?
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, and a trained moving team to load, transport and unload your belongings. We provide protective blankets and securing straps, and we place items in the rooms you specify at your new address. Optional extras include packing and unpacking, supply of boxes and materials, and dismantling or reassembly of furniture. We can also help with basic disconnecting and reconnecting of appliances where safe and permitted. All inclusions are clearly listed on your quotation so you know exactly what to expect.
How is a professional removal service different from a casual man-and-van?
A professional removal service like ours offers structured planning, trained staff, and proper insurance. We survey your property where needed, plan the route, and allocate the right size vehicle and team. Casual man-and-van options may be suitable for very small, simple jobs, but often lack formal cover, protective equipment and experience with complex moves. With us, your belongings are properly wrapped, loaded and transported, and you have clear terms and a point of contact throughout, which greatly reduces stress and risk.
How far in advance should I book my move?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as your moving date is reasonably certain – ideally two to four weeks in advance. This is especially important for Fridays, weekends and month-end, which are always popular. That said, we understand that completion dates can change, and we do our best to remain flexible where possible. If you need to move at short notice, contact us and we will let you know our next available slots and the options open to you.
Storage
Secure Storage in Morden with Man and Van Morden
At Man and Van Morden, we provide secure, flexible storage solutions for customers who need extra space before, during, or after a move. Whether you are between properties, decluttering, or relocating your business, our local team in Morden will collect, store and redeliver your items with care.
Professional Storage Services in Morden
Our storage service is designed to work hand-in-hand with our removals. We collect your belongings from your home, office or student accommodation in Morden, load them safely, and place them into our clean, dry, secure storage units. When you are ready, we deliver everything back to your new address, exactly when you need it.
We are a local, experienced removals and storage company, fully familiar with Morden and the surrounding areas. Narrow streets, permit parking and time restrictions are everyday realities for us, and we plan your collection and delivery so you do not have to worry about the logistics.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling, renovating, or downsizing, short or long-term storage can take the pressure off. Store excess furniture, seasonal items, and valuable belongings safely while you get your new home ready.
Renters
When moving between rentals, your tenancy dates do not always line up. Our storage service bridges the gap, keeping your possessions secure while you stay with family, friends, or in temporary accommodation.
Landlords
Landlords in Morden often use our storage when changing tenants, carrying out refurbishments, or converting properties. We can remove and store furniture, appliances and fixtures so you can work in an empty space.
Businesses
For local businesses, we offer storage for office furniture, stock, exhibition materials and archives. We can provide flexible contracts so you only pay for the space and time you actually need.
Students
Students moving out of halls or shared houses over the holidays benefit from short-term, cost-effective storage. We collect from your term-time address in or around Morden, store everything safely, then deliver back at the start of term.
What We Can Store
Our storage service covers most household and office items, including:
- Sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and chairs
- White goods such as fridges, freezers, washing machines and cookers (clean and defrosted)
- Boxes of clothes, books, kitchenware and personal items
- Home electronics: TVs, computers, audio equipment and small appliances
- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment
- Sports equipment, bicycles and hobby items
- Non-perishable stock, displays and marketing materials
What We Cannot Store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we cannot store:
- Perishable goods or food items
- Flammable, corrosive or hazardous materials (paints, fuels, gas cylinders, chemicals)
- Explosives, fireworks or weapons of any kind
- Illegal items or anything obtained unlawfully
- Live animals or plants
- Cash, high-value jewellery, or irreplaceable documents (such as passports or wills)
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will give clear guidance before collection so there are no surprises on the day.
How Our Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of what you want to store, your locations, and timescales. We ask a few practical questions about volumes, access, and any heavy or fragile items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining collection, storage and redelivery costs.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves or business storage, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess item volumes accurately, check parking or access, and identify any special handling requirements. A survey helps us send the right size vehicle and team, and avoids last-minute complications.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can either pack your own boxes or use our professional packing service. If we pack, we bring high-quality boxes, wrapping and tape, and label everything clearly for storage. Furniture is protected with covers and padding. Appliances are disconnected and prepared for safe transit.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and doorways where needed, and loads your belongings carefully. Items are secured in the vehicle to prevent movement during transport. We then take them directly to our storage facility, minimising the number of times they are handled.
5. Unloading & Placement in Storage
At the facility, everything is unloaded and placed into your allocated storage space. Items are stacked methodically, with heavier items at the bottom and fragile boxes on top. When you are ready for redelivery, we reverse the process, bringing your belongings to your new address and placing them in the rooms you choose.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Your storage quote will typically include:
- Collection from your property in Morden or nearby
- Transport to our storage facility
- Weekly or monthly storage charge, based on space required
- Optional packing service and materials, if requested
- Redelivery from storage to your new address
Costs depend on the volume of items, the length of storage and access requirements. We explain exactly what is included before you book so you can budget with confidence.
Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY?
While it may seem cheaper to hire a van and use a basic self-storage unit, there are important differences. With a professional service:
- Your items are handled by experienced, trained movers who know how to protect and stack them safely.
- We provide proper protective materials, blankets and ties to reduce the risk of damage.
- We manage all the heavy lifting, stairs and awkward corners, reducing the risk of personal injury.
- Our goods in transit insurance offers protection that casual man-and-van operators or DIY moves often do not provide.
- We plan access, parking and timings so the entire process runs smoothly.
The result is a safer, more efficient move, and peace of mind that your belongings are properly looked after.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a professional removals and storage company, we maintain strong standards throughout our service:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while being transported between your property and our storage facility.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or injury while we are working on site.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in lifting techniques, packing, and handling delicate or bulky items.
- Documented processes for inventory, handling and access, so we always know where your items are.
We are committed to providing a professional, reliable service that respects both your belongings and your property.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are covered, and fragile items are packed with appropriate materials. We use reusable furniture blankets and durable crates wherever possible to reduce waste.
Where we use cardboard, we source responsibly and recycle used materials. We also plan routes sensibly to cut unnecessary mileage, helping to reduce our environmental impact around Morden and the wider area.
Typical Storage Use Cases
Moving House
Completion dates can change at short notice. If you need to be out of your old property before your new one is ready, we can move everything into storage, then deliver it as soon as you get the keys.
Office Relocation
Businesses often phase their moves. We can store surplus desks, chairs, filing cabinets and equipment while new premises are refitted, keeping your main workspace clear and safe.
Urgent or Last-Minute Moves
If a tenancy ends unexpectedly or a sale completes earlier than planned, we can provide rapid storage solutions. Subject to availability, we can collect at short notice and hold your items until you have a long-term plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage with collection and delivery cost?
Pricing depends on three main factors: how much you have, how long you need storage for, and how easy access is at both addresses. We usually charge a one-off fee for collection and transport, plus a weekly or monthly storage rate based on the space your items occupy. Redelivery is then quoted separately, so you only pay when you actually need everything back. We provide a detailed written estimate in advance, with all charges clearly listed and no hidden extras.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage in Morden?
Where availability allows, we do offer same-day or urgent storage collections in and around Morden. This is particularly useful if a sale completes unexpectedly or a tenancy ends at short notice. The more notice you can give us, the easier it is to secure your preferred time slot, but we are used to working under pressure. If you call early in the day with an accurate description of your items and access, we will always do our best to accommodate you.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved between your property and our storage facility. Once in storage, basic cover is included, and we can often arrange higher-value cover if you have particularly expensive items. We will explain the limits and conditions of our insurance clearly before you book, and can advise on whether you should also speak to your own insurer. Our focus is always on preventing damage in the first place through careful packing and handling.
What exactly is included in your storage service?
Our standard storage service includes collection from your address, careful loading, transport to our facility, placement in a secure storage unit, and redelivery when you are ready. We protect furniture and large items with blankets and covers, and secure loads in the vehicle. Packing of boxes is optional; you can either do this yourself or ask us to provide a professional packing service and materials. We also provide guidance on what can and cannot be stored, plus clear documentation for your records.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van or self-storage?
With a basic man-and-van, you usually handle most of the packing and lifting yourself, and once your items are dropped at a self-storage unit, they are your responsibility. With us, you get trained movers, appropriate protection for your belongings, and coordinated collection, storage and redelivery as a single service. Our fully insured operation and professional standards reduce the risk of damage or loss. You also avoid arranging your own van, dealing with access codes, and moving heavy items multiple times in and out of units.
How far in advance should I book storage?
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-ends. A week or two’s notice is ideal, as it gives us time to complete a survey if needed and plan vehicle sizes and staffing. However, we understand that moves do not always go to plan, so we keep some flexibility for late changes. Even if your dates are not fixed, it is worth contacting us early so we can pencil you in and adjust as your situation becomes clearer.
Packing and Boxes
Packing and Boxes in Morden – Man and Van Morden
At Man and Van Morden, we provide a dedicated Packing and Boxes service in Morden designed to protect your belongings and make moving day smoother and faster. As an established local removals company, we understand how to pack everything from delicate glassware to bulky furniture so it arrives safely and on time.

Our packing service is carried out by trained and professional movers who pack systematically, label clearly, and use the right materials for each item.

Local Expertise in Morden
Based in Morden, we know the local streets, estates and developments inside out. From period houses near Morden Hall Park to modern flats and maisonettes, we understand the typical layouts, access issues and parking challenges you might face.
Our local knowledge allows us to plan packing and loading times around building rules, school runs and busy routes. We can advise when to start packing, how many boxes you’re likely to need, and how to prepare your Morden property so move day runs smoothly.
Who Our Packing and Boxes Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect if you’re selling and moving to a new house or upsizing in Morden. We carefully pack kitchens, garages, lofts and fragile ornaments, so you can focus on contracts and completion rather than hunting for boxes.
Renters
Ideal for tenants moving between flats or houses. We help protect landlord fixtures and fittings, avoid damage, and pack efficiently to minimise time spent in stairwells and communal areas.
Landlords
We assist landlords needing professional packing and removal of furniture between lets or when dressing and undressing rental properties. We can also pack and store items temporarily if required.
Businesses
Our service supports small and medium-sized businesses in Morden with office moves, archive clearances and stock relocations. We use a clear labelling system to keep IT equipment, files and stock organised and easy to set up at the new site.
Students
Students moving in or out of halls or shared houses benefit from our affordable packing options. We can supply smaller box bundles for term-time moves, short lets and storage between academic years.

Items We Cannot Pack or Move
- Hazardous materials (paint, solvents, fuel, gas bottles)
- Illegal or prohibited items
- Open containers of liquids or chemicals
- Live animals or plants requiring controlled environments
- Large commercial machinery requiring specialist lifting
If you are unsure whether an item is allowed, we will advise during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.
How Our Packing and Boxes Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact Man and Van Morden with details of your move, property size and any special items. We discuss whether you need full packing, part packing, or box supply only, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
We arrange a short video or in-person survey in Morden to assess the volume of items and the access at both ends. This helps us estimate the number of boxes, packing materials, and how many packers are needed, ensuring accurate pricing.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our professional team arrives with all the necessary boxes and materials. We pack room by room, label each box by area and contents, and disassemble basic furniture where required. We can also leave some boxes with you in advance if you want to pack personal items yourself.
4. Loading & Transport
Once packing is complete, we load the van carefully, using blankets and straps to secure everything. Our fully insured vehicles are driven by experienced local drivers who know Morden and the surrounding areas well.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload boxes into the correct rooms and place furniture according to your instructions. If you have booked an unpacking service, we can also unpack boxes, remove packaging and help you get essentials set up.
Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes in Morden
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Costs are based on:
- Property size and volume of items
- Level of service – full packing, part packing, or materials only
- Number of packers required and duration
- Distance between addresses (if combined with removals)
Your written quote sets out labour, materials and any additional services. There are no hidden charges for standard packing work; any potential extras (such as very awkward access or out-of-hours moves) are discussed in advance so you can budget with confidence.
Why Choose Professional Packing Instead of DIY
Many people begin packing themselves and quickly realise how time-consuming and physically demanding it is. Using our professional packing and boxes service in Morden offers clear advantages over DIY or a casual man-and-van:
- Faster and more efficient packing by experienced teams
- Reduced risk of breakages due to proper materials and methods
- Better use of space in the van, often reducing the number of trips
- Less disruption to work, family and day-to-day life
- Covered by our goods in transit insurance when combined with our removal service
A cheap, informal service may not provide adequate protection, insurance or care, leaving you exposed if something is damaged. Our approach is structured, documented and backed by insurance.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Morden operates to recognised industry standards. We are fully insured with:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while we move them
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
Our teams are trained in correct lifting techniques, safe packing of fragile items, and respectful handling of your home or office. We carefully record any pre-existing damage during surveys, so everything is transparent and you know what is covered.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your possessions as if they were our own. Fragile items are wrapped individually, furniture is protected with covers, and boxes are not overloaded. We plan the order of packing so essential items remain accessible for as long as possible.
Sustainability matters to us. Wherever practical, we use recyclable cartons and encourage customers to return or reuse boxes. We minimise waste by selecting the right size box for each job and avoiding excessive plastic. On unpacking, we can collect used cartons for reuse or responsible recycling.
Real-World Packing Use Cases in Morden
Moving House
For families and individuals moving within or out of Morden, we manage the full packing process, often in just one or two days. This is especially helpful if you are working right up to completion date or juggling childcare.
Office Relocation
For business moves, we pack desks, IT equipment, stock and archives in an organised, labelled way so your team can resume work quickly at the new premises. Evening or weekend packing is available by arrangement to reduce downtime.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
When a move is brought forward or circumstances change unexpectedly, we can provide rapid packing support in Morden, subject to availability. Our structured process means we can quickly deploy a team and materials to get you ready in time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does packing and boxes service in Morden cost?
Costs vary depending on property size, how much you need packed, and whether you require full packing or just materials. As a guide, smaller flats may only need a few hours with one or two packers, while larger homes require a full day or more with a team. We price transparently, breaking down labour and materials on your quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Contact us with basic details and we will provide a tailored estimate for your Morden move.
Can you provide same-day or urgent packing in Morden?
Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or short-notice packing support in Morden, particularly outside of peak dates. Urgent bookings depend on crew availability and access to your property, so it is always best to call us as soon as you know you need help. We will be honest about what we can achieve in the time available and may prioritise key rooms such as kitchens, bedrooms and home offices to ensure you are ready for your removal date.
Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?
Yes. When you book our packing together with our removal service, your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we are transporting them. We also hold public liability cover for work at your property. Insurance terms and limits are outlined in your booking documents, and we are happy to explain what is and is not covered. Items you pack yourself may have different levels of cover, so if you have particularly valuable or fragile pieces, we recommend letting our trained team pack them.
What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?
Our standard service includes the supply of quality boxes and packing materials, professional packing of agreed items, clear labelling by room, and preparation of furniture for loading. We can also offer part-packing, where we handle just fragile or awkward items while you pack the rest. Unpacking at the new address is available on request. We will confirm the exact scope in writing before work begins so you know which rooms and items are covered and can plan around any belongings you prefer to pack yourself.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
Unlike a casual man-and-van, we provide a structured, professional service with trained staff, proper packing materials and full insurance. Our team plans the job in advance, conducts a survey where needed, and follows proven packing methods to protect your belongings. We label everything clearly, use equipment to handle heavier items safely, and are accountable for the quality of our work. A basic man-and-van may be cheaper on the surface, but often lacks the protections and reliability needed for a major home or office move.
How far in advance should I book packing and boxes in Morden?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed move date, especially during busy periods such as month-end and summer. For most Morden moves, one to two weeks’ notice allows us to schedule the right team and order any specialist materials you may need. However, we regularly help with shorter-notice moves and will always try to accommodate you. Early booking also gives us time to carry out a proper survey so your quotation is accurate and there are no last-minute surprises.

With years of hands-on experience moving businesses of all sizes, we understand that downtime costs money. Our goal is to move your office quickly, safely and with minimal disruption to your team and your customers.
Professional Office Removals in Morden
Our office removals service is designed for any organisation that needs to relocate smoothly and efficiently. Whether you are moving a single room or an entire floor of staff, we coordinate every stage – from the first survey to the final desk being put in place.
We work early mornings, evenings and weekends to fit around your trading hours, and our professional, uniformed crews are trained in handling office furniture, IT equipment and confidential materials with care.
Who Our Office Removals Service Is For
Although this page focuses on office moves, our commercial and related services support a wide range of clients in and around Morden:
- Homeowners – moving a home office, studio or running a business from home and relocating.
- Renters – changing rented office or co-working space and needing a reliable move between addresses.
- Landlords – clearing and resetting office or mixed-use premises between tenancies.
- Businesses – small, medium and large companies moving within the same building or to a new location.
- Students – relocating study spaces, creative equipment or small business set-ups from shared accommodation.
What’s Included in Our Office Removals
We tailor every removal to your specific needs, but as standard our service can include:
- Desks, chairs, meeting tables and boardroom furniture
- Filing cabinets, cupboards and storage units (emptied or locked as agreed)
- Desktop computers, monitors, printers and general IT equipment
- Servers, network racks and telecoms hardware (where safely disconnected)
- Confidential files and archives, clearly labelled and securely transported
- Reception areas, sofas, breakout and canteen furniture
- Office kitchen items, boxed stationery and general office contents
What We Cannot Move
To protect our staff, your property and comply with legal and insurance requirements, some items are excluded or restricted:
- Hazardous materials (chemicals, solvents, gas cylinders, fuel)
- Illegal items or anything that cannot be legally transported
- Industrial machinery requiring specialist lifting or permits
- Large safes that exceed safe manual handling or vehicle limits
- Live plants in very poor condition or heavily soiled containers
- Personal valuables such as cash, jewellery and important personal documents – these are best carried by you
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during the survey and suggest safe alternatives where possible.
Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your move details – addresses, rough inventory, dates and any time restrictions. We discuss your requirements and provide an initial estimate. For straightforward moves, we can often confirm a fixed price at this stage.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most offices, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or in person in Morden and nearby areas. We assess access, parking, lift use, staircases, and the quantity and type of items. This allows us to plan vehicle sizes, crew numbers and timing accurately.
3. Packing & Preparation
We agree whether you will pack, we will pack, or we will do a combination. Our trained team can provide packing services for IT equipment, files and general contents, using quality cartons and protective materials. We label everything clearly by department, room and destination location to make set-up easier.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our professional crew arrive on time, protect key areas such as lifts and corridors, and begin systematic loading. Desks and furniture are disassembled where necessary, wrapped and secured. Goods travel in purpose-equipped removal vehicles with load restraints and blankets to keep everything safe in transit.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new premises, we unload in the agreed order so that critical areas can be up and running first. We place furniture and equipment according to your floor plan, reassemble desks and tables, and position boxes in the correct rooms or departments. Before leaving, we carry out a final check with you to ensure everything is where it should be.
Transparent Pricing for Office Removals
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our office removals are usually priced based on:
- Volume and type of items to be moved
- Distance between properties
- Access conditions (stairs, lifts, parking restrictions)
- Number of movers and vehicles required
- Additional services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly
For smaller moves we may offer a competitive hourly rate, while larger or more complex relocations are quoted at a fixed price agreed in advance. We will always explain what is included so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY
Moving an office involves more than just lifting boxes. Using a professional removals company gives you:
- Planned scheduling to reduce disruption and downtime
- Trained staff who know how to move desks, IT and bulky furniture safely
- Correct equipment – trolleys, dollies, covers and removal vehicles
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for peace of mind
- Less strain on your team, who can focus on keeping the business running
A casual man-and-van or DIY move may seem cheaper on paper, but if equipment is damaged, staff are injured or you lose a day or two of trading, the real cost quickly mounts up.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Morden operates to recognised industry standards for safety and care. We carry:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your office contents while they are being moved and transported, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and third parties against accidental damage or injury relating to our work.
Our moving teams are trained in manual handling, safe loading, and the protection of IT and office equipment. We use appropriate covers, straps and blankets, and we treat your premises – both old and new – with the same care as the contents we are moving.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to move your office safely while keeping our environmental footprint as low as reasonably possible. We:
- Use reusable crates and durable cartons where practical
- Recycle packaging materials whenever we can
- Plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Protect doors, floors and lifts to minimise damage and the need for repairs
Our focus is always on careful preparation and handling, so that your equipment arrives in the same condition it left, and your new workspace is ready to use.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House with a Home Office
Many clients in Morden now work from home. We combine office removals with standard household moves, ensuring your desks, chairs and IT equipment are properly protected and reassembled so you can get back to work quickly.
Office Relocation for Growing Businesses
When a local business expands into a larger space, we plan the move in stages – relocating non-essential areas first, then critical departments, often outside normal hours. This keeps your operations running while you transition to your new office.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes leases end unexpectedly or circumstances change. Where schedules allow, we offer same-day or short-notice moves in Morden, prioritising key furniture and IT so that you remain operational, even during a rapid relocation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Morden cost?
The cost of an office removal depends on the size of your office, the amount and type of furniture and equipment, access at each property, and the distance between addresses. Small local moves can sometimes be completed on an hourly rate, while larger or multi-day projects are usually priced at a fixed cost following a survey. We will provide a clear written quotation in advance, detailing what is included, so you can budget accurately and compare like for like with other providers.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
Where our schedule allows, we can assist with same-day or urgent office removals in Morden and nearby areas. Availability will depend on the size of the move and how many crews we have free on the day. For urgent relocations we focus on your essential items first – such as IT equipment, key desks and critical documents – and then return for any remaining contents if required. Contact us as soon as you know you need to move and we will advise honestly on what is realistic.
Are my office items insured during the move?
Yes. Your office contents are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded by our team, subject to the terms and limits of our policy. We also hold public liability cover, protecting you and third parties against accidental damage or injury arising from our work. We will explain the key points of cover when we quote, and, if you have high-value or specialist equipment, we can discuss this in more detail so you are comfortable with the arrangements.
What is included in your office removals service?
Our standard service includes a pre-move consultation, allocation of appropriate vehicles and crew, protection of key areas, careful loading, transport and unloading at your new premises. We dismantle and reassemble basic office furniture where needed and place items according to your instructions. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of crates and boxes, and out-of-hours or weekend moves. Everything we will do for you is listed clearly in your written quotation, so there are no surprises on moving day.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van service typically provides transport and some lifting, but often without formal training, detailed planning or robust insurance. Our professional removals service includes experienced, trained crews, appropriate vehicles and equipment, structured planning, and both goods in transit and public liability cover. We understand how offices operate, how to minimise disruption, and how to handle IT and confidential material correctly. For business moves in particular, this added level of care and organisation makes a significant difference.
How far in advance should I book an office removal?
For a smooth office move, we recommend booking as early as you reasonably can – ideally four to six weeks ahead for larger relocations, and at least one to two weeks for smaller local moves. Early booking gives us time to carry out a survey, plan vehicle access, coordinate with building management and arrange any packing or crate hire. However, we understand that this is not always possible, and we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows.

Local Man with a Van Specialists in Morden
We are a Morden-based team, not a distant call centre. We work daily in Morden, Merton and surrounding areas, so we understand local traffic patterns, parking restrictions and building access issues. That local knowledge helps us plan realistic arrival times, choose the right routes and advise you on permits or loading bays when needed.

How Our Man with a Van Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your pickup and drop-off addresses, a list of items and your preferred date and time. We ask a few practical questions about access, floors, lifts and parking. Based on this, we give you a clear, no-obligation quote and an estimated duration.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite (When Needed)
For most man with a van jobs, a detailed phone call or photo/video survey is enough. For larger or more complex moves, we may suggest a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to choose the right van size, decide whether extra staff are needed and check for access challenges.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can supply packing materials and, if requested, provide a packing service for an additional fee. We recommend:
- Using strong, similar-sized boxes
- Labelling boxes by room and contents
- Disassembling flat-pack furniture in advance where possible
- Disconnecting appliances and electronics before we arrive
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our team arrives on time, protects key items with blankets and straps, and loads the van carefully. We secure everything to minimise movement in transit. Then we transport your goods directly to the destination using sensible, proven routes.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload items into the rooms you specify, not just to the front door. We place furniture where you want it and stack boxes neatly so you can unpack easily. Before leaving, we check with you that nothing is missing and that you are happy with the placement.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. For man with a van in Morden we typically charge:
- By the hour for local moves, with a minimum booking period
- Fixed prices for clearly defined jobs or single-item deliveries
Your quote will confirm:
- How many movers are included
- The van size
- The hourly rate or fixed price
- Any additional services (packing, materials, extra stops)
There are no hidden charges; any potential extras (such as congestion or parking fees) are explained in advance wherever possible.
Why Use a Professional Man with a Van Instead of DIY
Hiring a casual man-and-van or doing it yourself might look cheaper, but it often works out more stressful and sometimes more expensive if things go wrong. With Man and Van Morden you get:
- Trained movers who know how to lift safely and protect property
- Fully insured transport with goods in transit cover
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Reliable arrival times and clear communication
- Accountable, registered local business rather than a cash-in-hand service
You avoid the risk of injury, damage to your belongings, or being let down on the day.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are in our vehicle
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties
- Trained moving teams who follow safe handling and loading procedures
We maintain our vehicles regularly, keep them clean inside, and use appropriate protective materials to minimise risk. Full details of cover and any limits are available on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your items with care as if they were our own. We use padded blankets, straps and floor protection where required, and we plan loads so heavy items do not crush lighter ones. We also aim to work responsibly:
- Using reusable protective materials instead of excessive single-use plastics
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Consolidating smaller moves where appropriate to cut down empty runs
Where packaging is needed, we can supply recyclable boxes and advise on re-use or responsible disposal after your move.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with a van in Morden cost?
Pricing depends mainly on how long the move takes, how many movers you need and how far we are travelling. For local man with a van work in Morden we usually charge an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, plus any agreed extras such as packing or additional stops. For simple jobs, like a single sofa or a straightforward studio move, we can often offer a fixed price. Once we know your addresses, access details and item list, we will give you a clear, written quote before you book.
Can you do same-day or urgent man with a van jobs?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Morden, especially on weekdays. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job, so it is always best to call as early as you can. For urgent work, we prioritise clear communication – we will tell you honestly what is possible, give you a realistic arrival window and confirm costs upfront so there are no surprises. If we cannot help within your timeframe, we will say so rather than over-promising.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Our man with a van service includes goods in transit insurance for your items while they are in our vehicle, as well as public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. This is in addition to the care taken by our trained staff. There are reasonable limits and exclusions, as with any policy, so if you have particularly high-value items, let us know in advance so we can confirm cover and discuss any extra precautions or documentation that might be needed.
What is included in your man with a van service?
Our standard service includes a suitable van, a professional driver-mover, loading and unloading at each address, and transport between locations. We bring blankets and straps to secure and protect your goods. If agreed in advance, we can also provide extra movers, packing materials, a packing service and disassembly/reassembly of straightforward furniture for an additional charge. What is not included as standard is packing by us, removal of waste, or movement of prohibited items such as hazardous materials or animals, although we are happy to recommend specialists where needed.
What is the difference between your service and a casual man-and-van?
We operate as a professional removals company, not an informal side job. That means you get fully insured transport, trained staff, properly maintained vehicles and clear written quotes. We follow recognised moving practices, use protective equipment and plan each job carefully. A casual man-and-van might be cheaper on paper, but you may have little recourse if they cancel last minute or damage your belongings. With us, you know who you are dealing with, and we are accountable for the work we do.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend and month-end moves, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance, as those slots fill quickly. For midweek local work in Morden, a few days’ notice is often enough, and we can sometimes arrange next-day or same-day moves. The more notice you give, the easier it is for us to offer your preferred time and to plan for any access issues or special requirements. However, if your plans change last minute, do get in touch – we will always try to fit you in where our schedule allows.
