Man and van across London, done properly
Our man & van service is the flexible, budget-friendly way to move smaller loads across London. Charged by the hour with a simple two-hour minimum, it’s perfect for single items, studio moves, marketplace purchases and those jobs that are too big for a taxi but don’t need a full removals crew.
You get a friendly, capable driver and a clean van — and, unlike a lot of cheap listings online, loading and unloading help is always included. That means your driver rolls up their sleeves and does the lifting with you, rather than watching from the cab.
Because we operate right across the capital, you’re never far from an available van. Whether you’re collecting a sofa from Wandsworth or moving a room’s worth of boxes across Camden, we’ll get it done quickly, carefully and for a price that’s clear from the outset.
A man with a van near you — in every London borough
Searching “man and van near me” usually turns up a long list of marketplace listings with no idea who will actually turn up. Phi Movers runs its own vans and crews across London, so the driver who arrives is ours — insured, uniformed and used to London stairs, permit bays and tight streets.
Because our vans work across the capital every day, there’s nearly always one close by. That keeps travel time down, which matters on an hourly booking: less time on the road to you means more of your booking spent actually moving things.
- Local man and van in North, South, East and West London
- Single items, marketplace pickups and small flat moves
- Same-day man and van when a slot is free
- Loading and unloading help always included
Man with a Luton van — the right size for a house move
Most of our man and van jobs use a Luton removal van: the box body takes the contents of a studio or one-bed flat in one trip, with room to strap heavy items like fridges and washing machines safely. For smaller jobs we send a medium van, which is quicker to park in central boroughs.
Compared with self-drive van hire, a man and van booking means you don’t pay for fuel, insurance excess or a day’s hire on top of your own time — and you don’t have to carry the sofa down three flights yourself. If you’re weighing up house move van hire against a moving van with a driver, our quote will show the full cost up front.

What customers say
★★★★★
Booked a last-minute man & van and they still turned up early. Polite, quick and genuinely careful with every single box. Couldn't recommend them more.
★★★★★
Great for a same-day flat clear-out. One extra flight of stairs took a little longer, but the team stayed cheerful and careful throughout.
