Furniture Removals
Furniture Removals Marylebone – Man and Van Marylebone
At Man and Van Marylebone, we provide reliable, carefully planned furniture removals across Marylebone and the surrounding central London areas. With years of hands-on moving experience in busy London streets and mansion block stairwells, we know how to move your furniture safely, efficiently and with minimum disruption.
Professional Furniture Removals in Marylebone
Our furniture removals service covers everything from a single sofa to a full flat, townhouse or office. We handle awkward staircases, tight lifts, residents' parking bays and access restrictions every day. Our aim is simple: protect your belongings, protect your property, and complete the move on time.
Every job is carried out by a trained, professional team using the right tools, protective materials and vehicles for the job. We are fully set up for central London moves, including controlled parking zone planning and building management requirements.
Local Expertise in Marylebone
Working in Marylebone day in, day out means we understand the particular challenges of the area. From period mansion blocks along Marylebone High Street to mews houses and modern developments, we know how to plan access, deal with concierge teams and work around residents' rules.
We can advise on parking suspensions, lift bookings and time restrictions, helping you avoid fines, delays and unnecessary stress. This local knowledge allows us to give realistic timings and a clear plan before moving day.
Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you're upsizing, downsizing or refurbishing, we move full household contents, single high-value pieces and everything in between. We protect floors, banisters and doorways to keep both your old and new homes in good condition.
Renters
If you're moving between rented flats or houses in Marylebone or across London, we provide flexible scheduling, careful handling of furniture and help with dismantling and reassembling standard items such as beds and wardrobes.
Landlords
We assist landlords with furnished property removals, part-clearances and end-of-tenancy furniture moves. We can remove, relocate or store items as needed, working around cleaners, decorators and inventory clerks.
Businesses
Our team carries out office furniture removals, including desks, chairs, meeting tables, filing cabinets and reception furniture. We can work outside normal office hours to minimise disruption to staff and customers.
Students
For students in halls or shared accommodation, we offer cost-effective student furniture removals for beds, desks, wardrobes, bookcases and boxed belongings, including term-time and end-of-year moves.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Included
We routinely move:
- Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- Desks, office chairs and filing cabinets
- Bookshelves, coffee tables and TV units
- Freestanding white goods (fridges, freezers, washing machines etc.)
- Pictures, mirrors and standard home contents
Items Excluded or By Prior Agreement
For safety and insurance reasons, we cannot transport certain items, including:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal or stolen goods
- Live animals or plants requiring specialist care
- Unboxed loose jewellery, cash or important documents
- Very large safes or industrial machinery without prior survey
Delicate or high-value items such as pianos, artwork or antiques can often be moved, but must be discussed in advance so we can provide appropriate protection and staffing.
Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: addresses, property type, key items, preferred dates and any access notes. We ask clear, practical questions so we can give a realistic estimate. For straightforward smaller moves, we can often provide a fixed price or hourly rate quote straight away.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a free survey, either by video call or visiting your property. This lets us check access, list furniture, identify items that need dismantling and assess any special requirements. From this, we prepare a detailed written quotation outlining what is included.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day, or beforehand if you book our packing service, we protect furniture with padded covers, blankets and wrapping. Mattresses and sofas are covered; fragile pieces are wrapped or crated as needed. If agreed, we dismantle beds, tables and wardrobes using the correct tools, keeping all fixings safely labelled.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team plans the loading order to keep items safe and make unloading efficient. We use webbing, straps and securing points to prevent movement in transit. Your furniture is transported in a suitable, clean removals vehicle, driven by experienced staff used to Marylebone and central London traffic and access conditions.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property we protect floors and walls where necessary, then place furniture in the rooms you request. If dismantling and reassembly were included, we rebuild the agreed items and ensure everything is safely positioned before we leave.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals
We price our furniture removals based on a clear set of factors:
- Volume and type of furniture
- Number of movers needed
- Travel distance and parking arrangements
- Access issues (stairs, lifts, long carries)
- Additional services such as packing or dismantling
You will receive a written quote setting out whether the job is charged at a fixed price or an hourly rate, what is included, and any potential extra costs (for example, congestion or parking charges). We do not add surprise fees on the day; any changes are discussed and agreed before we proceed.
Why Use Professional Furniture Removals Instead of DIY
Moving furniture yourself or using an untrained casual man-and-van can seem cheaper, but often leads to damage, delays and personal injury. Our professional team is used to carrying heavy and awkward items safely, protecting both the furniture and the property.
We bring proper equipment, carry full insurance and work to agreed timings. In tight Marylebone stairwells or communal hallways, this makes a real difference. Professional removals also reduce the risk of disputes with landlords, freeholders or neighbours over damage to common areas.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Marylebone operates with full goods in transit insurance, protecting your belongings while they are in our care and on our vehicles. We also carry public liability cover for added peace of mind in case of accidental damage to property or third parties.
Our teams are trained in lifting techniques, load security and furniture protection. We follow clear procedures for documenting jobs, handling fragile items and dealing with any issues that may arise. If something does go wrong, we have a straightforward process for resolving it quickly and fairly.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped, covered and secured; properties are protected with floor runners and corner protectors where needed. We plan routes and loading to minimise risk and avoid unnecessary handling.
Where possible, we use reusable padded covers, durable blankets and re-usable crates to reduce waste. Cardboard and packing materials are sourced responsibly, and we plan journeys sensibly to keep fuel use and emissions down while still delivering a reliable service.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House Into or Out of Marylebone
From first flats to family homes, we regularly manage full household moves into and out of Marylebone. We coordinate with building managers, book lift times and arrange parking so moving day runs smoothly and you can focus on settling in.
Office and Commercial Relocations
We help businesses move between offices, reorganise floor layouts or clear premises at the end of a lease. Desk systems, chairs, storage and meeting room furniture are dismantled, relocated and reassembled as required, with minimal downtime for your team.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes moves arise at very short notice – a tenancy ending, a sale completing faster than expected or urgent works at your property. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day furniture removals within Marylebone and nearby areas, providing a structured service even under time pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Marylebone cost?
Costs depend mainly on the volume and type of furniture, access at each property, distance travelled and how many movers are needed. Smaller jobs may be charged at an hourly rate, while full home or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Additional services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly are itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Once we have the key details, we provide a clear written quotation with no hidden extras, other than agreed charges such as parking or congestion.
Can you handle same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or short-notice furniture removals in Marylebone and nearby areas. Availability depends on existing bookings, the scale of your move and the time needed to arrange parking or access. For urgent moves, it helps if you can send photos or a quick video of the items and access so we can assess requirements quickly. Contact us as early as possible and we will give you an honest answer on what we can do and by when.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your furniture and belongings while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded, subject to our terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties. We ask that valuable or fragile items are pointed out in advance so we can pack and protect them appropriately. Full details of cover, limits and any exclusions are set out in your quotation and booking documents.
What is included in a typical furniture removals service?
A standard service includes the vehicle, a trained removals team, protective covers and blankets, loading, secure transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. If agreed in advance, we can also include dismantling and reassembly of beds, wardrobes and similar furniture, packing services, and the supply of boxes and packing materials. Parking arrangements and congestion charges are discussed beforehand so you know whether they are included or added at cost. Everything that is covered is listed clearly in your written quote.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may offer simple transport, but often without proper insurance, trained staff or planning. A professional removals service like ours provides experienced movers, suitable vehicles, protective equipment, documented procedures and full insurance. We plan the job in detail, assess access, protect furniture and property, and provide written terms and a clear quote. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes, and is especially important in managed buildings, communal areas and higher-value properties common in Marylebone.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at month-end and weekends, we recommend booking at least 1–2 weeks in advance. This allows time to arrange any parking suspensions, lift bookings or building permissions, and to schedule the right team and vehicle. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter-notice moves when our diary allows. If you have a fixed completion date or tenancy end, contact us as soon as you know so we can reserve your slot and help you plan the rest of the move.
Piano Removals
Piano Removals in Marylebone by Man and Van Marylebone
Moving a piano is never just another job. It’s a specialist task that demands experience, the right equipment and a calm, methodical approach. At Man and Van Marylebone, we provide dedicated piano removals in and around Marylebone, handling every move with care, planning and precision.
Specialist Piano Removal Service Explained
Our piano removals service is designed specifically for upright and grand pianos, organs and other large instruments. We plan each move in detail, considering staircases, narrow hallways, high-value flooring and access to your property. Our professional team use piano skids, protective covers, straps and trolleys to ensure that the instrument and the property are both fully protected.
Whether you are moving a piano within the same building, across Marylebone, or further afield in London, we provide a structured, well-managed service led by experienced movers who understand both the weight and the value of what they are handling.
Local Piano Moving Expertise in Marylebone
Marylebone presents its own challenges: period buildings, basement flats, tight stairwells and controlled parking zones. We deal with these every week. Our local knowledge means we can plan around busy streets, arrange suitable parking and choose the best access route before we arrive.
Because we operate in Marylebone daily, we understand building layouts, concierge requirements, and where special protection may be needed in communal areas. That local experience helps us complete moves more smoothly, with less disruption to you and your neighbours.
Who Our Piano Removals Service Is For
Our specialist piano removals in Marylebone are ideal for:
- Homeowners – Moving house or rearranging rooms involving upright or grand pianos.
- Renters – Relocating between flats or houses, often with tight staircases and limited access.
- Landlords – Removing or repositioning pianos between tenancies or for refurbishments.
- Businesses – Hotels, schools, studios, churches and venues needing careful, scheduled piano moves.
- Students – Music students moving between term-time and home addresses who need reliable help on set dates.
Whether the piano is a family heirloom or a working instrument used every day, we treat it with the same level of respect and attention.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Included in Our Piano Removal Service
As part of our piano removals in Marylebone, we regularly move:
- Standard upright pianos
- Digital pianos and stage pianos
- Baby grand and grand pianos (with prior survey)
- Electric organs and small church organs
- Piano stools, music stands and small related accessories
Items Excluded or By Special Arrangement
Some items are excluded from standard piano removals or require advance discussion:
- Concert grand pianos (may require additional equipment and crew)
- Very large church organs or installations fixed to the building
- Instruments stored in unsafe or structurally unsound areas (e.g. unstable lofts)
- Hazardous materials or liquids stored inside or around the piano
If you have an unusual or particularly large instrument, we will review it as part of the survey to confirm what is possible and what additional measures may be needed.
Our Step-by-Step Piano Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of your piano, addresses and key access information. We will ask about the type of piano, the floors involved, lift availability and any stairs or tight turns. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote that outlines what is included and any conditions that may apply.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For many moves, a video call and photographs are enough to confirm access and plan the route. For more complex jobs or grand pianos, we may recommend an onsite survey in Marylebone. This allows us to measure doorways, assess staircases and identify any need for additional equipment or temporary protection.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the day, our trained team protect the piano and your property before anything moves. Depending on the instrument, we may remove legs, pedals or lids, pad and wrap the body, and protect floors, bannisters and door frames. We use heavy-duty blankets, corner protection and appropriate strapping to keep everything secure.
4. Loading & Transport
The piano is carefully moved using piano skids, dollies and lifting straps. We maintain clear communication throughout the move so every member of the team knows their role. Once loaded into our vehicle, the piano is secured against movement using professional-grade restraints. Transport is carried out in clean, well-maintained vehicles covered by goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we reverse the process just as carefully. The piano is brought in via the agreed route, positioned in the room of your choice and unwrapped. Where parts were removed, they are refitted. We will place the piano exactly where you want it, making small adjustments until you are satisfied with its final position.
Transparent Pricing for Piano Removals in Marylebone
We price piano removals based on several factors: instrument type (upright, baby grand, grand), number of floors, access complexity, distance between properties and any need for additional crew or equipment. Instead of flat "one-size" pricing, we offer a tailored quote that reflects the actual work involved.
Your quote will clearly state what is included: labour, vehicle, standard protection materials and insurance cover. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (for example, if access is significantly different to what was described) are explained in advance, not on the day.
Why Use Professional Piano Movers Instead of DIY
Attempting to move a piano yourself, or with a casual man-and-van, often leads to damage, injury or both. Pianos are extremely heavy yet surprisingly delicate; the external cabinet, legs and internal mechanisms can all be damaged by incorrect handling.
By choosing experienced, professional movers you get:
- Correct lifting techniques and specialist equipment designed for pianos
- Reduced risk of injury to you, your friends or building staff
- Protection for floors, walls and staircases
- Fully insured carriage with clear responsibility
- A calmer, more predictable moving day
This is especially important in Marylebone’s older buildings where damage to communal areas can quickly become expensive and stressful.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Marylebone operates to clear, documented standards to protect both you and us. All piano removals are covered by:
- Goods in transit insurance – Covering your piano and related items while they are in our vehicle.
- Public liability cover – Protecting against accidental damage to property or third parties.
Our moving teams are trained in safe manual handling, piano-specific techniques and property protection. We follow agreed risk assessments, use appropriate PPE where needed and always work within the limits of what is safe and reasonable for the property and the team.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take a careful, measured approach to every piano move. Protective blankets, floor runners and corner guards are standard, not extras. We aim to minimise noise and disruption, particularly in shared buildings, and we always respect house rules, concierge instructions and neighbours.
Where possible, we use reusable, long-life protection materials instead of single-use plastics. Our vehicles are regularly maintained and routed efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. By planning properly, we avoid repeated trips and wasted journeys, which is better for everyone involved.
Real-World Piano Removal Scenarios
Moving House with a Piano
If you are moving home in or out of Marylebone, we can integrate piano removals into a full home move or handle the piano as a dedicated job. We coordinate with your wider moving schedule to ensure that the piano is moved safely, without blocking access for other furniture.
Office, School and Studio Relocations
For businesses, schools and studios, we offer planned piano moves at times that minimise disruption—often early mornings, evenings or weekends. We work closely with site managers to protect communal areas and comply with any specific building or security requirements.
Urgent or Short-Notice Piano Moves
Sometimes pianos need to move quickly—end of tenancy, completion dates brought forward, or venue changes at short notice. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day piano removals in Marylebone. We will always be honest about what is realistically achievable and safe within the time available.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a piano removal in Marylebone cost?
The cost of a piano removal depends on the type of piano, the floors involved, access conditions and the distance between addresses. Upright pianos with straightforward ground-floor access are typically at the lower end of the price range, while grands, multiple flights of stairs or complex access will cost more. We provide a clear, itemised quote after asking a few questions—or following a short survey for more complex moves—so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.
Can you do same-day or urgent piano removals?
Same-day or urgent piano removals in Marylebone are sometimes possible, depending on our existing schedule and the complexity of the move. Simple upright moves with good access are easier to arrange at short notice than grands or jobs involving difficult staircases. If you need a rapid booking, contact us with full details of the piano, addresses and timings. We will give you an honest answer about what we can achieve safely and may offer the earliest available slot if same-day service is not realistic.
Is my piano insured during the move?
Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our care and on our vehicle, and by our public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. We will explain the main terms and any limits when we provide your quote, so you understand exactly how the cover works. While we handle every piano with great care, having robust insurance in place ensures you are properly protected in the unlikely event that something goes wrong during the move.
What exactly is included in your piano removal service?
Our standard piano removal service includes a pre-move assessment, a trained crew, the vehicle, protective blankets and floor coverings, loading, transport, unloading and placement of the piano in the room you choose. For grands, it can also include safe removal and reassembly of legs and pedals where needed. We protect key areas such as door frames, bannisters and flooring as standard. Tuning is not included, as this is a specialist musical service, but we recommend having your piano tuned after it has settled in its new location.
How is a specialist piano removal different from a normal man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service may be fine for boxes or light furniture, but pianos require specific training and equipment. We use piano skids, proper straps, heavy-duty blankets and team lifting techniques designed for heavy, fragile loads. Our crews are experienced in handling complex staircases and tight corners commonly found in Marylebone. Importantly, our service is fully insured, with clear responsibility if something goes wrong. With an unspecialised man-and-van, you may find that pianos are excluded from their cover, leaving you at risk.
How far in advance should I book a piano removal?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or time, such as a Saturday morning or late evening. This gives us time to survey access, arrange parking and allocate the right team. Shorter notice is often possible, particularly on weekdays, but availability can be limited during busy periods. If you have fixed dates linked to a house move, tenancy start or performance, it is best to secure your slot as early as you can.
Student Removals
Student Removals Marylebone – Man and Van Marylebone
Moving as a student can be stressful, especially around busy term dates and exam periods. At Man and Van Marylebone, we specialise in student removals in and around Marylebone, offering a flexible, affordable service designed for halls, shared houses, studio flats and small moves between universities.
Specialist Student Removals in Marylebone
Our student removals service is built around the realities of student life: limited time, limited budget, awkward stairwells, and last‑minute changes of plan. We provide:
- Careful transport of your belongings between halls, private rentals and home
- Collection from multiple rooms or addresses if needed
- Help with packing and dismantling basic furniture if required
- Evening and weekend moves to fit around lectures, exams and work
Every move is handled by a trained, professional, fully insured team that treats your things with the same care we would our own.
Local Marylebone Knowledge That Saves You Time
Based in Marylebone, we know the local streets, estates, halls and private blocks extremely well. That means:
- Efficient routing around congestion and parking restrictions
- Experience with building access rules, lifts and loading bays
- Realistic time estimates, even at peak periods and during events
Whether you are moving into student halls off Marylebone Road, a flat near Regent’s Park, or out to another part of London or the UK, our local expertise keeps your move simple and predictable.
Who Our Student Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Parents supporting students moving to or from Marylebone often prefer a fully insured, reputable company. We can move belongings between the family home and university accommodation, including longer-distance moves.
Renters
If you’re renting a room or flat in Marylebone, we help you move in or out without disturbing neighbours, respecting building rules and common areas. Ideal for students in house shares or private rentals.
Landlords
We assist landlords in clearing student properties between tenancies, removing unwanted furniture and transporting stored items. Our teams arrive on time, work neatly and provide receipts and documentation as needed.
Businesses
Local businesses, training centres and student accommodation providers use us to move furniture, equipment and student belongings between sites or storage, with minimal disruption to operations.
Students
Our service is tailored for students with small to medium loads. Whether it’s a single room, bedsit or shared flat, we organise everything so you can focus on studying, not lifting boxes.
What We Can Move for Students
Our student removals service in Marylebone typically includes:
- Suitcases, clothes and personal belongings
- Desks, chairs, small bookcases and bedside tables
- Mattresses and standard bed frames (dismantled if needed)
- Course materials, books, folders and artwork
- Computers, screens, printers and small electronics
- Kitchen items, microwaves, kettles and small appliances
- Sports equipment, bikes and musical instruments
Items We Cannot Transport
For safety and legal reasons, some items are excluded:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals)
- Illegal items or substances
- Unboxed loose liquids that may leak
- Commercial quantities of goods for resale without prior agreement
- Animals or live plants on long journeys (unless pre‑arranged)
If you are unsure about a particular item, ask us when you enquire and we will advise on the safest solution.
Our Step‑by‑Step Student Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with your moving dates, addresses, and a rough list of items. We provide a clear, no‑obligation quote based on the volume, access and distance. Where budgets are tight, we’ll suggest ways to keep costs down, such as flexible timing or doing your own packing.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most student moves, a quick virtual survey (photos or video) is enough. For larger moves or awkward access, we can visit in person. The survey ensures we send the right size vehicle and team, and avoids surprises on moving day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your belongings yourself, or we can provide a packing service with boxes, tape and protective materials. We advise on labelling, packing fragile items and preparing electronics. Beds and furniture can be dismantled in advance or by our team on the day.
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our trained movers arrive on time, protect floors and walls where needed, and load systematically. Items are wrapped and secured in the van to prevent movement. We then transport directly to your new address, keeping you updated if traffic affects timings.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify and reassemble any furniture we dismantled. We take away our used protective materials, leaving you with a tidy space so you can settle in quickly.
Transparent Student Removals Pricing
We know students need predictable, fair pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of items (space used in the van)
- Travel distance and congestion
- Access (stairs only, lifts, parking restrictions)
- Extra services such as packing or storage
You’ll receive a clear breakdown with no hidden extras. Parking costs or congestion charges are explained in advance where applicable. For simple one‑room moves, we often offer fixed‑price options so you know exactly what you will pay.
Why Use Professional Removals Instead of DIY?
Hiring a professional student removals company in Marylebone offers several benefits over doing it yourself or using a casual man‑and‑van:
- Safety: Proper lifting techniques and equipment to prevent injury
- Protection: Use of blankets, straps and covers to safeguard your items
- Reliability: Confirmed bookings and punctual arrival
- Insurance: Your belongings are covered by our policies
- Efficiency: Experienced teams complete moves quickly, even with stairs and tight access
When time is short between term dates, a dependable, organised service makes a big difference.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Marylebone is a fully insured removals company. For your peace of mind we carry:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover – protecting property and third parties during the move
Our teams are trained in handling fragile items, navigating communal areas without damage, and working respectfully around neighbours and building staff. We follow clear procedures for loading, securing and unloading to minimise any risk of loss or damage.
Care, Protection and Sustainable Practices
We take care seriously. Your furniture and boxes are wrapped in transit blankets, strapped securely and handled thoughtfully at every stage. Fragile items are clearly marked and loaded separately.
We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact by:
- Re‑using cartons and protective materials where safe and hygienic
- Offering collection of used boxes for re‑use or recycling
- Planning efficient routes to cut unnecessary mileage and emissions
Where possible, we encourage students to use sturdy, reusable containers and to avoid single‑use plastics.
Real‑World Student Move Scenarios
End‑of‑Term Clear‑Out
We regularly help students move out of Marylebone halls at the end of term, transporting belongings home or into storage. Tight timeframes and busy loading bays are managed calmly and efficiently.
New Accommodation Across London
Many students move from halls into private flats around London after first year. We handle these moves in one trip, coordinating keys, parking and lift access so you do not have to.
Last‑Minute or Urgent Moves
Occasionally contracts fall through or dates change at short notice. Subject to availability, we offer same‑day or next‑day moves, helping you avoid storage or temporary accommodation where possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a student removal in Marylebone cost?
Costs depend mainly on how much you have to move, the distance between addresses and access at each property. A small student room move within Marylebone is usually very affordable, especially if you pack yourself and are flexible with timing. Larger moves or journeys across the UK will cost more, but we always provide a clear, itemised quote in advance. Tell us what you’re moving, and we’ll suggest the most cost‑effective option for your situation.
Can you do same‑day or urgent student moves?
Yes, in many cases we can arrange same‑day or urgent student removals in Marylebone, particularly outside peak dates. If you need to move quickly due to a change in tenancy or other issues, call us as soon as possible with your details. We’ll check availability, give you a realistic arrival window, and advise on how to prepare quickly. While last‑minute bookings are subject to schedule and traffic, we always try to accommodate urgent student moves.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and by our public liability cover while we are working on your premises. This provides protection against accidental loss or damage within the terms of our policy. We’ll explain any limits or exclusions when you book, and we always recommend packing carefully and declaring any particularly high‑value or fragile items so we can give them extra protection.
What is included in your student removals service?
Our standard student removals service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional moving team, loading, safe transport, and unloading into the rooms you specify. We supply transit blankets and securing straps as standard. Optional extras include packing materials, a full or partial packing service, dismantling and reassembling basic furniture, and short‑term storage by arrangement. We’ll confirm exactly what is included in your quote so you know what to expect on moving day.
How is a professional removal different from a basic man‑and‑van?
A casual man‑and‑van may be fine for very small, low‑value moves, but standards and insurance can vary. With a professional removals company like ours you get trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper protective equipment and a clear booking process. We survey your move in advance, plan around access restrictions, and provide reliable arrival times. If something unexpected happens, we have procedures and insurance in place. For most students, this level of reliability and protection is worth the modest extra cost.
How far in advance should I book my student move?
For peak periods such as the end of term, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. For quieter times of year, a few days’ notice is often enough. However, the earlier you contact us, the more flexible we can be on timing and price. If you’re unsure of exact dates, we can discuss provisional arrangements and confirm once your tenancy or hall dates are finalised.

- Period mansion blocks with no lifts
- Modern developments with concierge and booking systems

Our team plans access in advance, arranging parking permits where necessary and liaising with building management when required. This local knowledge reduces delays and significantly lowers the risk of damage in communal areas.

If you own a flat in Marylebone and are moving within London or further afield, we provide a structured, fully managed service that protects your property and your building. We can coordinate dates with your completion and key handover.

- Hazardous materials (paints, solvents, gas bottles, fuel)
- Illegal items of any kind
- Live animals (we can recommend specialist pet carriers)
- Large commercial machinery or industrial equipment
- Items over normal safe lifting limits without suitable equipment
- Fixtures requiring qualified trades (e.g. hardwired cookers)
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will clarify this during the enquiry and survey so there are no surprises on moving day.
Our Step-by-Step Flat Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: current address, destination, flat size, number of floors, lift availability and your preferred date. We provide an initial estimate based on the information given and agree the next steps.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most flat removals in Marylebone, we carry out a short video or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, staircases, lift size and parking options, and to confirm the volume of items. From this, we provide a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the day (or beforehand, if you choose our packing service), our trained removals team packs your belongings using quality materials. Fragile and high-value items receive extra protection. Furniture is dismantled where necessary to move safely through doorways and stairwells.
4. Loading & Transport
We protect floors, doors and banisters where needed before moving anything. Items are loaded methodically onto our vehicles, secured and covered. Our drivers know Marylebone routes well and plan for traffic, access and any time restrictions.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload room by room, placing boxes and furniture where you want them. Reassembly of previously dismantled furniture is carried out, and we remove our materials, leaving you with a tidy, accessible space.
Transparent Flat Removals Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes for flat removals in Marylebone are based on:
- Volume of goods and size of property
- Access conditions (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle)
- Travel distance between addresses
- Optional services such as professional packing, materials and storage
- Any special handling requirements
Your quote will set out exactly what is included, the number of movers and vehicles, and any time allowances. If your circumstances change before moving day, we revise the quote transparently so you always know where you stand.
Why Choose Professional Flat Removals over DIY
While a casual man-with-a-van or DIY move might seem cheaper, it often comes with hidden risks and costs. Our professional flat removals service offers:
- Trained staff using safe lifting techniques to reduce injury and damage
- Proper protection for furniture, electronics and fragile items
- Planned access that avoids damage to communal areas
- Reliable, confirmed timings backed by a structured team
- Full goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
Many clients come to us after difficult DIY moves. A professional service usually saves time, reduces stress and lowers the overall risk of costly breakages or building issues.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Protecting your belongings and your building is central to how we work. Man and Van Marylebone operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance for your possessions while they are being moved
- Public liability insurance to cover accidental damage to property
- Trained moving teams experienced with flats and high-density buildings
We follow industry best practice in packing, lifting and securing loads. Our vehicles are purpose-equipped for removals, and our crews are briefed clearly on each job before arrival.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care seriously – of your belongings, your building and the environment.
- Use of professional blankets, mattress covers and protective wraps
- Attention to walls, lifts and communal areas to prevent marks and damage
- Reusable crates available on request for some moves
- Cardboard, paper and plastics recycled wherever possible
- Route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage
Our aim is to move you efficiently while reducing waste and avoiding avoidable damage.
Real-World Flat Removals Use Cases
Moving Home Within Marylebone
Many clients move from one Marylebone flat to another. We can carry out same-day complete relocations, coordinating timings to fit around key collection and check-in/check-out inspections.
Office and Home Office Relocations
Professionals working from home often need secure transport for IT equipment, files and furniture. We label and pack methodically so you can re-establish your workspace quickly with minimal downtime.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Occasionally, moves arise at short notice – tenancy changes, work relocations or personal circumstances. Subject to availability, we offer same-day and next-day flat removals within Marylebone and across London, with realistic timeframes and clear communication.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a flat removal in Marylebone cost?
Costs depend on the size of your flat, the volume of belongings, access conditions and the distance between addresses. A small local studio move may be priced on an hourly basis, while larger flats usually receive a fixed price after a survey. Optional services such as packing, materials and storage will affect the total. Once we have the key details and, ideally, a short survey, we provide a clear written quotation so you know exactly what is included and what the final cost will be.
Can you handle same-day or urgent flat moves?
Yes, subject to availability. We regularly assist with short-notice flat removals in Marylebone, including same-day and next-day bookings. The more information you can provide at the time of enquiry, the easier it is for us to allocate the right crew and vehicle. For urgent moves, we may streamline the survey process to save time, but we still confirm access details and key items to ensure the move is safe, legal and covered by our insurance.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your possessions are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care, subject to policy terms and conditions. We also hold public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to property. During booking, we explain the level of cover, any exclusions and what we need from you, such as declaring particularly high-value items. Our focus is on preventing damage in the first place through proper packing, careful handling and experienced staff.
What is included in your flat removals service?
Our standard service includes a trained team, a suitable removals vehicle, loading and unloading, transport between addresses and basic protection for furniture and key items. We can add professional packing, materials, dismantling and reassembly, and storage if required. Every quote details what is included for your specific move. We also plan access, advise on parking requirements and, where agreed, liaise with building management to ensure the move complies with house rules and time restrictions.
How is a professional removals service different from a casual man-and-van?
A professional removals service like ours provides trained staff, appropriate insurance, proper packing materials and vehicles set up for safe transport. We survey your flat in advance, plan access, and provide a written quote and booking confirmation. Casual man-and-van operators may be suitable for very small, simple jobs, but often lack insurance, training and processes. For most flat moves – especially in buildings with strict rules or difficult access – a professional service significantly reduces risk, stress and the likelihood of damage.
How far in advance should I book my flat removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date – ideally two to four weeks in advance. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change. We are often able to accommodate moves at shorter notice, particularly mid-week. If your date is uncertain, we can discuss provisional arrangements and options, then confirm once everything is finalised, keeping communication clear throughout.
Same day Removals

Even on a tight timescale, our professional team will still protect, load and transport your items correctly, so you aren’t trading speed for safety.
Local Expertise in Marylebone
Operating as Man and Van Marylebone, we know the Marylebone area extremely well – from mansion blocks and mews houses to modern apartments and office buildings. This local knowledge matters on a same day move, where there’s no time for guesswork.
- Experience with resident parking schemes and loading restrictions
- Familiar with narrow streets, one-way systems and peak traffic times
- Used to working in properties with lifts, tight stairwells and period features

Because we work in Marylebone daily, we can plan access quickly and avoid delays that could cost you valuable time.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if a completion date is brought forward, a chain moves unexpectedly, or you need to vacate your property at short notice. We’ll move you swiftly while still protecting your furniture, floors and fixtures.
Renters
Perfect for last-minute tenancy changes, unexpected notices or urgent moves between rented properties. We regularly help tenants in Marylebone move between flats, often with limited lift access and restricted parking.
Landlords and Letting Agents
We assist landlords and agents with same day clearances, end-of-tenancy moves and emergency access situations. We can remove abandoned items, assist with rapid turnarounds and prepare a property for new occupants.
Businesses
Whether you’re relocating a small office, moving stock or reacting to a facilities issue, our same day office removals in Marylebone minimise disruption. We can move desks, IT equipment, files and light machinery with care and discretion.
Students
We support students in Marylebone and nearby areas who need same day student removals due to course changes, room swaps or accommodation issues. We’re used to smaller loads, shared spaces and working around busy halls of residence.
What We Can and Cannot Move on a Same Day Service
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges, dryers (subject to safe disconnection)
- Boxes, bags, suitcases and personal belongings
- Office furniture – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, shelving
- IT and electronics – computers, monitors, TVs, printers
- Student belongings – books, clothes, kitchen items and small furniture
Items Usually Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement

- Illegal or stolen goods
- Live animals or pets
- Unsecured high-value items such as jewellery or large sums of cash
- Very large or specialist items (e.g. grand pianos, safes) without pre-arranged equipment
If you have anything unusual or particularly valuable, let us know during the enquiry so we can advise whether we can safely move it the same day.
Our Same Day Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Call or message us as early as possible. We’ll ask brief but focused questions about your current address, destination, property type, access and what needs moving. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote for your same day removal in Marylebone.
2. Rapid Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most urgent moves, a quick virtual survey via video call or photos is sufficient. This lets us assess volume, access, parking and any special handling needs. For larger or more complex moves, we may send someone on-site if time allows.
3. Packing & Preparation
On arrival, we protect key items and property features. Depending on the level agreed, we can:
- Disassemble and reassemble basic furniture
- Protect furniture with covers and blankets
- Wrap TVs and fragile items
- Provide boxes and packing materials (subject to notice and availability)
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads systematically, securing items using straps and blankets to minimise movement during transit. Vehicles are chosen according to load size and Marylebone access restrictions. We drive carefully, following agreed routes and timings.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble agreed furniture and place larger pieces where you want them, so you can settle in quickly even after a rushed move.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals
Same day moves involve more rapid planning and scheduling, but our pricing is still clear and straightforward. Costs are typically based on:
- Size of vehicle and number of movers required
- Estimated duration of the job
- Distance between properties
- Access complexity (stairs, long carries, parking challenges)
- Any additional services (packing materials, furniture assembly, disposal)
We’ll always explain what is included in your quote before you confirm the booking. There are no hidden charges for basic protective equipment, and we’ll highlight in advance any factors that could change the final cost, such as substantial extra items not mentioned at enquiry.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
When time is tight, it can be tempting to hire a casual van or ask friends for help. In practice, this often leads to delays, damage and significant stress. Working with a professional removals team in Marylebone offers clear benefits:
- Speed with structure – we know how to prioritise items, manage lifts and stairs, and load efficiently.
- Proper protection – blankets, straps and trolleys help avoid avoidable damage.
- Reduced risk – fewer personal injuries from lifting and carrying heavy items without training.
- Insurance cover – your belongings are protected under our policies, not left to chance.
- Local knowledge – we understand Marylebone access and parking, saving crucial time.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Even for urgent, same day moves, we work to the same standards as planned removals. Man and Van Marylebone is:
- Fully insured with goods in transit cover for your belongings while they are in our vehicles
- Protected by public liability insurance for work in and around your property
- Staffed by trained and experienced moving teams, used to working under time pressure
We follow sensible handling, lifting and loading practices, and your items are always treated with respect. Documentation for our insurance can be provided on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Urgency does not mean cutting corners. We use appropriate protective materials and handling techniques to safeguard both your belongings and your property:
- Furniture blankets, floor protectors and mattress covers where required
- Careful use of trolleys in communal areas to avoid marking walls and lifts
- Considerate working in shared spaces and with neighbours
We also take a practical approach to sustainability by:
- Using reusable blankets and protection where possible
- Planning routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage
- Offering removal and responsible disposal of unwanted items by arrangement
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Moving House at Short Notice
Completion dates sometimes move unexpectedly. We regularly help Marylebone homeowners and renters who discover they must vacate or move in earlier than planned. Our same day team can step in when your original plan falls through.
Urgent Office Relocation
Flooding, building issues or lease problems can make an office unusable without warning. We can move essential furniture, IT and files to temporary or new premises the same day, helping you resume operations quickly.
Emergency Tenant Moves
We support landlords, agents and tenants when a property must be cleared quickly – for example, at the end of a tenancy dispute or following damage. We work sensitively and efficiently to meet legal or contractual deadlines.
Student and Short-Let Turnarounds
Students and short-let guests can find themselves needing to move the same day due to booking changes or accommodation issues. Our Marylebone same day service is well suited to smaller, concentrated loads that need to move quickly but carefully.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do same day removals in Marylebone cost?
Costs depend on the size of your move, access at each property, the distance between addresses and how many movers and vehicles are required. Same day removals may carry a premium compared with pre-booked moves because we are reworking our schedule at short notice. We usually price either by the hour or as a fixed rate for clearly defined jobs. Once we understand what needs moving, we’ll give you a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what you’re paying for before you confirm.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to help with genuine same day requests in Marylebone, but availability depends on existing bookings, the size of your move and the time of day you contact us. Smaller or medium-sized moves are more likely to be accommodated at short notice. The earlier you get in touch, the better chance we have of scheduling a team and vehicle for you. If we cannot complete the full move the same day, we’ll advise on realistic options and timing.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Our same day removals are covered by the same goods in transit insurance as our planned moves, protecting your items while they are in our vehicles. We also hold public liability insurance for work on-site. Insurance is intended to cover unforeseen issues, but we still handle your belongings carefully to avoid problems in the first place. If you have particularly high-value items, please tell us in advance so we can confirm cover levels and any specific conditions that may apply.
What exactly is included in your same day removals service?
Our service always includes a vehicle sized for your load, a trained moving team, standard protective equipment such as blankets and straps, loading at your current address, safe transport and unloading at your destination. Subject to prior agreement and time, we can also include basic furniture disassembly and reassembly, limited packing assistance and disposal of unwanted items. We’ll specify in your quote what is and isn’t included, so there are no surprises on the day and you can plan any packing you prefer to do yourself.
How is a professional removals service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van often provides little more than transport and a driver, with no guarantee of training, insurance or proper protection. As a professional removals company, we bring structured planning, experienced teams, appropriate vehicles, protective materials and formal insurance cover. We’re used to working in Marylebone properties, managing access constraints and liaising with building management. The difference is particularly noticeable on same day moves, where experience and organisation can be the difference between a smooth relocation and a very long, stressful day.
How far in advance should I book, and can I book on the same day?
For the best choice of times, booking at least a few days ahead is ideal. However, life doesn’t always allow that, which is why we offer true same day removals in Marylebone where possible. You can contact us on the day you need to move; we’ll quickly assess what’s required and confirm whether we can help. During particularly busy periods we may offer the nearest available slot, such as later in the day or early the following morning, if a same day booking is not realistic.
Man with Van
Man with Van Marylebone – Professional Local Moving Service
Reliable Man with Van in Marylebone
At Man and Van Marylebone, we provide a reliable, flexible man with van service designed for moves in and around Marylebone and central London. Whether you are moving a single item across town or a small flat across the city, you benefit from a professional, locally based team who move people and businesses here every day.
We combine the convenience of a traditional man-and-van with the standards of a fully run removals company: fully insured, properly equipped vehicles, and trained movers who know how to protect your belongings and your building.
Who Our Man with Van Service Is For
Our service is tailored to anyone who needs a careful, efficient move without the cost of a full-scale removals crew:
- Homeowners – Ideal for part-loads, downsizing, or moving items into storage.
- Renters – Studio, 1–2 bedroom flats, and room moves in and around Marylebone.
- Landlords – Clearing or furnishing properties between tenancies.
- Businesses – Small office relocations, IT equipment moves, files and furniture.
- Students – Affordable moves between halls, shared houses and storage.
If you are unsure whether you need a full removals crew or a man with van, we will advise honestly based on volume, access, and timings.
Local Expertise in Marylebone
Working daily in Marylebone means we understand the area’s particular challenges: narrow streets, controlled parking zones, red routes and tight staircases in period buildings. We arrange parking suspensions where needed, plan around loading restrictions, and choose vehicle sizes that suit local access.
Our drivers know the best routes through W1 and into surrounding areas like Mayfair, Fitzrovia, Paddington and Regent’s Park, helping to keep your move on schedule even in busy traffic.
What Our Man with Van Service Includes
Items We Commonly Move
We can safely move most household and office items, including:
- Sofas, armchairs, tables and chairs
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
- Boxes, suitcases, crates and personal belongings
- Desks, office chairs, filing cabinets and shelving
- TVs, computers, small appliances and AV equipment
- Bags, bicycles, artwork and small musical instruments
Items We Cannot Move
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, our man with van service does not include:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items of any kind
- Industrial machinery or excessively heavy plant
- Unboxed loose liquids or open food
- Large pianos or specialist items without prior agreement
If you have a specialist item, tell us in advance – we can often arrange a tailored solution or advise on the best approach.
Our Step-by-Step Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the details of your move: addresses, dates, access, and a rough list of items. Based on this, we recommend the right size van, number of movers and an estimated time. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For straightforward small moves, we often complete the assessment via phone, photos or video. For more complex jobs or tricky access, we can arrange an onsite survey in Marylebone. This helps us confirm parking requirements, floor levels, lift access and any particularly delicate or bulky items.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service at an additional cost. On the day, our team protects furniture with covers and blankets, and we use straps to secure loads in transit. We can also dismantle and reassemble standard furniture (such as bed frames) if agreed in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your belongings in a logical order, with heavier items secured first and fragile boxes protected on top. We work carefully in communal areas to avoid damage to walls, doors and lifts. Once everything is loaded, we travel via the most efficient route, keeping you updated on timings.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your destination, we place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. We can assemble agreed items, remove used protective materials, and carry out a final walk-through with you to ensure nothing has been missed before we leave.
Transparent Pricing for Man with Van Marylebone
We price our man with van service either by the hour or as a fixed fee, depending on the job. Our quote will clearly state:
- Number of movers included
- Vehicle size
- Minimum booking time (for hourly work)
- Any additional services (packing, materials, dismantling)
- Waiting time and congestion/parking arrangements, if applicable
There are no hidden extras. If circumstances change – for example additional items or extra stops – we discuss any cost implications with you before proceeding.
Why Choose a Professional Man with Van Over DIY
Using a professional man with van service offers several advantages over hiring a van yourself or relying on a casual operator:
- Fully insured – your goods are covered while in our care.
- Trained movers who know correct lifting and handling techniques.
- Purpose-built vehicles with straps, blankets and trolleys.
- No need to navigate central London traffic in an unfamiliar van.
- Reduced risk of damage to items and property, and less physical strain on you.
In many cases, a professional service saves time, hassle and potential breakages compared with a DIY move.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a properly run removals operator, we take your protection seriously. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while we are moving them.
- Public liability cover for peace of mind in shared spaces and buildings.
- Trained moving teams experienced in Marylebone properties.
We work to recognised industry standards for packing, lifting, and vehicle loading, and we are happy to discuss cover levels and any specific requirements you may have before you book.
Caring, Protective and Sustainable Moving
We treat your belongings and property with the same care we would our own. Furniture is wrapped and secured, doors and floors are protected where needed, and we always aim to minimise disturbance to neighbours.
From a sustainability point of view, we plan routes efficiently, maintain our vehicles to reduce emissions, and reuse durable packing materials such as blankets and crates wherever possible. On request, we can also collect used boxes for reuse or recycling after your move.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Man with Van Service
Moving House and Flats
Many Marylebone residents live in flats with limited access. Our man with van service is ideal for 1–2 bedroom flats, part-moves (for example, moving only selected furniture) or taking items into or out of storage.
Office and Business Relocations
For small businesses, clinics and studios, we regularly move desks, chairs, IT equipment and files within Marylebone and to other London locations. We can schedule moves outside normal working hours to reduce downtime.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
When plans change suddenly – a last-minute completion date, urgent key collection or a tenancy ending sooner than expected – our flexible man with van service can often accommodate same-day or next-day moves, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with van in Marylebone cost?
Costs depend on the size of van, number of movers and length of time required. For smaller local moves, we usually charge an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, whereas larger or more complex moves may be priced as a fixed quote. Factors such as stairs, distance between addresses, parking and the amount of dismantling needed will all influence the final price. We will ask clear questions up front and provide a detailed quote so you can see exactly what you are paying for before you commit.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man with van moves?
Yes, we can often offer same-day or short-notice bookings in Marylebone, especially on weekdays outside peak times. Our ability to help will depend on existing schedules, vehicle availability and the size of your move. The more information you can provide when you call – item list, addresses, access details and timing – the quicker we can confirm whether we can fit you in. If we cannot meet your exact time, we will usually be able to suggest an alternative slot on the same or next day.
What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?
All moves carried out by our man with van service include goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicle, and public liability cover for work in and around your property. This is quite different from informal man-and-van operators who may have no cover at all. We can outline the key terms, limits and exclusions of our policies before you book, and we will always encourage you to keep high-value items listed on your own home or contents insurance as an additional safeguard.
What is included in your man with van service?
Our standard service includes a suitable van, one or more professional movers, loading, secure transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We provide blankets, straps and trolleys as needed, and can dismantle and reassemble straightforward furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials and additional stops, for example to or from a storage facility. We will confirm in writing exactly what is included in your quote so there is no confusion on moving day.
How is a professional man with van different from a full removals team?
A man with van service is best for smaller moves, lighter volumes and shorter distances. You still get a trained, fully insured team and a properly equipped vehicle, but with fewer crew members and a more flexible, time-based approach. A full removals service is more suitable for larger homes or offices, often using multiple movers, larger vehicles, extensive packing, and more detailed planning. If your move sits somewhere in between, we will recommend the most efficient option so you do not overpay for capacity you do not need.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend or month-end moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busier periods such as summer and around university term dates. For weekday daytime slots, a few days’ notice is often enough, and we will always try to accommodate last-minute requests where our schedule allows. Booking early gives you a better choice of times and helps us secure any parking arrangements needed in Marylebone, but we remain as flexible as possible for genuine short-notice situations.
Man and a Van
Man and a Van in Marylebone
At Man and Van Marylebone, our man and a van service is a practical, flexible option for small to medium moves, collections and deliveries across W1 and the surrounding areas. Run by experienced local movers, we combine proper removals standards with the convenience and agility people expect from a man-with-van style service.
What Our Man and a Van Service Includes
This service is designed for moves that are too big for a taxi, but don’t quite need a full-scale removals crew. You get a suitable vehicle plus one or more trained movers, depending on what you need.
Typical man and a van jobs include:
- Studio and one-bed flat moves within or from Marylebone
- Student moves to and from halls or shared houses
- Small office or consultation room relocations
- Single-item and part-load moves (sofas, wardrobes, desks, appliances)
- eBay, Gumtree and furniture store collections and deliveries
- Internal moves within the same building or complex
Every move is completed by a professional, uniformed team who handle your belongings carefully and work efficiently to keep time – and cost – under control.
Local Expertise in Marylebone
Operating daily in Marylebone means we know the area extremely well. From mansion blocks on Gloucester Place and garden squares off Bryanston Square, to period conversions around Dorset Street and modern developments near Paddington Street, we are used to:
- Narrow streets and tight access
- Resident-only parking and loading restrictions
- Liftless buildings and awkward staircases
- Building management rules and concierge procedures
We plan routes and timings around local traffic patterns and parking limits, helping to avoid delays and fines. If needed, we can advise on parking suspensions and loading arrangements in advance.
Who Our Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal for moving a smaller property, decluttering before sale, or shifting bulky items into storage. We can also support partial moves during renovations, carefully protecting floors and bannisters as we work.
Renters
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or swapping flats locally, our man and a van service keeps things straightforward. We are used to tight time slots between tenancies and can help dismantle and reassemble basic furniture where required.
Landlords
We regularly assist landlords with clearing or part-clearing properties, moving furniture between lets, and delivering new items to furnished flats. We work tidily and respect common areas, which helps maintain good relationships with managing agents and neighbours.
Businesses
For small commercial moves, we can relocate desks, chairs, IT equipment, stock and archive boxes. We also provide repeat services for local shops, clinics and offices needing regular collections or deliveries around Marylebone and central London.
Students
Students benefit from a compact, flexible service that can handle everything from a room in halls to a shared flat. We are happy to move during evenings or weekends, subject to availability, to fit around exams and term dates.
What We Can and Can’t Move
Items Typically Included
- Furniture: beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, drawers, bookshelves
- Boxes: books, clothes, kitchenware, personal items
- Appliances: washing machines, fridges, freezers, microwaves (disconnected)
- Office items: desks, chairs, files, IT equipment (properly packed)
- Electronics: TVs, computers, audio equipment (protected and boxed)
Items We Cannot Move
- Hazardous materials (fuel, paints, solvents, gas cylinders, chemicals)
- Illegal or stolen goods
- Open containers of liquids likely to leak
- Perishable food for longer-distance moves
- Live animals (including pets and fish tanks with water)
- High-value items requiring specialist carriers (e.g. certain artworks, safes)
If you are unsure about a particular item, simply ask when you enquire and we will advise on the safest approach.
How Our Man and a Van Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with details of what you need to move, locations, access and preferred dates. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and suggest the right vehicle size and number of movers.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For straightforward moves, a detailed phone or video call is often enough. For more complex jobs – for example, heavy items on upper floors or multiple stops – we may suggest a virtual or onsite survey to confirm timings, access and any special handling requirements.
3. Packing & Preparation
Most customers pack their own boxes for a man and a van job. We can supply quality packing materials in advance if needed. On move day, we wrap and protect furniture and key items, using covers and blankets to prevent damage. We can also assist with basic dismantling, such as bed frames or table legs, by prior agreement.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your items in a logical, secure way to minimise movement in transit. We protect doors, lifts and common areas where necessary. Once loaded, we take the most efficient route, considering traffic conditions in and around Marylebone, to keep your move running on time.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload your items into the rooms you choose, not just to the doorway. We will reassemble any furniture we dismantled and place larger items where you want them, so you can settle in more quickly.
Transparent Pricing
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Most man and a van moves are priced on an hourly basis, with a minimum booking period. The rate depends on:
- Number of movers required
- Vehicle size
- Travel distance and number of pick-up or drop-off points
- Any additional services (e.g. dismantling, packing materials)
Before you book, we confirm what is included, our estimate of how long the job will take, and any likely additional charges such as congestion or parking. If your move is clearly defined, we may offer a fixed price instead of hourly billing.
Why Use a Professional Service Instead of DIY
Hiring a casual van or doing it yourself can look cheaper on paper, but often ends up costing more in time, stress and damage. A professional service offers:
- Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and protect items safely
- Proper equipment (trolleys, straps, blankets, covers) to avoid damage
- Efficient loading so fewer trips are needed
- Fully insured cover if something goes wrong
- Reliable timings, avoiding last-minute no-shows
For many customers, having experienced people handle the heavy lifting and logistics is worth far more than any small saving from doing it all themselves.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Marylebone operates to proper removals-industry standards, not just as a casual courier.
- Goods in transit insurance – protects your belongings while they are in our vehicle, subject to our terms and packing standards.
- Public liability cover – protects you and your property against accidental damage caused by our team.
- Trained moving teams – all staff are trained in safe handling, lifting techniques and protecting property, and are supervised by experienced leaders.
We are committed to punctuality, clear communication and respectful behaviour in and around your home or workplace.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings and your building as if they were our own. That means:
- Using clean protective blankets, mattress and sofa covers
- Protecting doorways, bannisters and lift interiors where needed
- Securing loads correctly to prevent movement during transit
We also take a responsible approach to the environment. Our vehicles are regularly maintained for fuel efficiency, we plan routes to minimise unnecessary mileage, and we reuse quality packing materials where appropriate. When customers request disposal of unwanted items, we aim to use recycling centres and donation routes rather than simple landfill, where possible.
Real-World Use Cases
Moving House within Marylebone
Many customers use our man and a van service to move between flats or houses in the area. For example, moving from a studio near Baker Street to a one-bed off Marylebone High Street can often be completed in a single, well-organised trip, with minimal disruption to your day.
Small Office Relocation
Consultants, therapists and small businesses often relocate within Marylebone’s many office buildings and clinics. We can move desks, chairs, filing cabinets and boxed files or equipment outside normal office hours to minimise downtime for your clients.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Sometimes people face an unexpected change – a tenancy ending, a buyer bringing forward completion, or a last-minute furniture purchase. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day man and a van support to help you respond quickly and calmly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and a van service in Marylebone cost?
Pricing usually depends on time, the number of movers and vehicle size. Most jobs are charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, plus any congestion and parking fees where applicable. To give you an accurate figure, we consider how much you have to move, the floors and access at each property, and the distance between addresses. Once we have those details, we provide a clear quote with no hidden extras, and we will always explain if there is any factor that could change the final cost.
Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?
Yes, we often can, depending on our schedule and the scale of the job. If you need a same-day or short-notice move, contact us as early as possible with your details. Smaller, local jobs in and around Marylebone are usually easier to fit in at short notice than larger, multi-load moves. We will be honest about what is realistic in the time available and, if we can help, we will work with you to agree a practical arrival window and clear plan so everything runs as smoothly as possible.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover for accidental damage to property caused by our team. Cover is subject to our terms and conditions, including appropriate packing and exclusions for certain items. We will explain these clearly before you book. If you have particularly high-value or unusual items, please tell us in advance so we can advise whether they are covered under our policy or whether specialist arrangements would be more suitable.
What is included in a man and a van removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, at least one professional mover, loading, transport and unloading into your chosen rooms. We provide protective blankets and covers for furniture and key items. On request, we can assist with basic dismantling and reassembly and supply packing materials at additional cost. Most customers pack their own boxes, but we are happy to advise on the best way to pack fragile items. When you enquire, we will confirm exactly what is included so there are no surprises on the day.
What is the difference between a removals service and a basic man-with-van?
A casual man-with-van often provides simple transport only, with limited help loading, no formal training and sometimes no proper insurance. Our service is run by an experienced removals company using trained staff, planned loading, protective equipment and fully insured cover. We focus on protecting your belongings and property, not just getting items from A to B. For many people, especially in buildings with strict rules or tight access, that extra level of professionalism makes a real difference.
How far in advance should I book?
For planned moves, booking one to two weeks ahead usually gives you the best choice of dates and times, particularly for weekends and month-end periods which are often busier. However, we know that smaller moves can come up at short notice, so we always try to accommodate last-minute enquiries where we can. Even if your plans are not fully confirmed, it is helpful to get in touch early so we can pencil in availability and talk through options that will work for your timeframe.

What Is Not Included as Standard

- High-value items such as fine art, antiques or jewellery without prior agreement

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or online. We will ask key questions about your current property, destination, volume of items, access and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually as a fixed price for the agreed scope of work.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a small flat move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Marylebone and surrounding areas. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, number of flights of stairs, lift size, and any particularly fragile or heavy items. This ensures we allocate the right team, vehicle and time.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer flexible options:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack your entire home
- Part packing – we pack only fragile or high-value items
- Self-packing – you pack, and we provide boxes and advice if required
On move day, we protect floors and bannisters where needed and use blankets, covers and wrapping to safeguard your furniture.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team carefully loads your belongings in a logical order, securing everything with straps and blankets. We plan the route to avoid unnecessary delays and keep you updated on timings. Our vehicles are regularly maintained and purpose-equipped for removals work.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload room by room, placing items where you want them and reassembling furniture we dismantled. We work efficiently while maintaining care, so you can settle in more quickly and avoid unnecessary lifting yourself.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals
We price each move based on a clear set of factors:
- Property size and approximate volume of belongings
- Distance between addresses
- Access difficulty (stairs, lifts, parking, narrow corridors)
- Level of service – from basic transport only to full packing and unpacking
- Day and time of the move, including any unsociable hours
We will explain exactly what is included in your quote before you book. There are no hidden charges; any potential extras (such as long carries, additional stops or extra heavy items) are discussed upfront.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:
- Safety – correct lifting techniques and equipment reduce risk of injury
- Protection – we use covers, blankets and wrapping to prevent damage
- Efficiency – experienced crews load and unload far more quickly and methodically
- Reliability – confirmed bookings, arrival windows and backup plans if something unexpected happens
- Insurance – your belongings are covered under our policies, not just your own risk
For valuable possessions, tight access and busy London streets, a structured, professional move is almost always more cost-effective once you consider time, risk and potential damage.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to clear professional standards.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our care, subject to terms and conditions explained at booking
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of damage to third-party property
- Trained moving teams – staff are briefed on safe handling, loading techniques and customer care
We are fully insured, use appropriate documentation, and provide clear written confirmation of your booking and agreed services.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to balance protection of your belongings with responsible working practices.
- Use of reusable transit blankets and furniture covers to reduce waste
- Option for reclaimed or recyclable packing materials where practical
- Careful route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage
- Thoughtful handling to reduce the likelihood of damage and replacement
Your furniture and possessions are handled as if they were our own – wrapped, carried and loaded with care, not rushed or forced through tight spaces.
Real-World House Removals Use Cases
Moving House Within Marylebone
Many of our clients are moving between flats and houses within the local area, often on the same day they must hand back keys. We coordinate timings with estate agents, concierges and porters to ensure access at both ends.
London to Out-of-Town Relocations
If you are leaving Marylebone for elsewhere in the UK, we can handle the full load, transport and unload in one or two days depending on distance. We work to agreed arrival windows so you are not left waiting at your new home.
Office and Live-Work Moves
For small businesses and home offices, we move desks, files, IT equipment and stock alongside your household items, planning the move to minimise downtime.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Occasionally, circumstances change at short notice. Where our schedule allows, we can accommodate same-day or next-day house removals in Marylebone, focusing on essential items first and returning for remaining items if required.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do house removals in Marylebone cost?
The cost depends on the size of your property, volume of belongings, access at each address and how far you are moving. A small flat move within Marylebone may be charged as a half-day or set number of hours, while larger homes are usually priced as a fixed quote for the whole job. Optional services such as packing, furniture dismantling or additional drops will affect the total. We always discuss your requirements in detail and provide a clear written price before you commit.
Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?
Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Marylebone and nearby areas. Availability will depend on the size of the move, the time of day you contact us and the resources already booked. For smaller flat moves with straightforward access, we can sometimes respond very quickly. For larger properties, we may suggest an initial trip focusing on priority items, followed by a second visit. The sooner you call us, the more options we will have to fit you in.
What insurance cover do you provide?
Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved and transported, subject to policy limits and conditions that we explain at the quotation stage. We also carry public liability insurance, which covers damage to third-party property in the unlikely event something goes wrong. Some items, such as high-value artwork or jewellery, may require special arrangements or prior declaration. We recommend you also check your home contents policy, as some insurers provide additional cover during professional moves.
What is included in a house removals service?
Our standard house removals service includes a vehicle of suitable size, a professional moving team, all necessary moving equipment, loading at your current address, safe transport and unloading at your new home. We place items in the rooms you request and can dismantle and reassemble standard furniture if agreed in advance. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, and additional stops for collection or delivery. We will outline exactly what is included in your quote so you know what to expect on move day.
What is the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?
While a basic man-and-van service might suit very small, simple moves, our removals service is structured around planning, protection and reliability. We conduct surveys where needed, allocate the right crew and vehicle, bring protective materials, and work to agreed arrival times. Our team is trained, we are fully insured, and we provide written confirmation of your booking. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute cancellations that can occur with casual operators, particularly for larger or more complex house moves.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed move date, particularly if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end or during peak moving periods. One to three weeks’ notice is usually enough for most Marylebone house removals, but we can often find solutions at shorter notice. Early booking gives us more flexibility to plan access, parking and staffing, and allows time for packing if you are using that service. Even if your date is not yet fixed, it is worth discussing your likely timeframe with us.
