Furniture Removals
Furniture Removals Camden – Man and Van Camden
At Man and Van Camden, we provide dependable, carefully planned furniture removals across Camden and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving everything from studio flats to large family houses and offices, we know exactly how to protect your furniture, your property, and your time.
Whether you are moving a single item or a full property, our professional, fully insured team takes care of every stage – from dismantling and wrapping through to safe transport and careful placement in your new space.
Specialist Furniture Removals in Camden
Furniture looks solid, but moving it safely is a skilled job. We handle heavy, awkward and high-value pieces every day in Camden – from Georgian townhouses and modern flats to busy high-street offices.
Our crews are trained in correct lifting techniques, furniture protection, and navigating tight staircases and communal areas without causing damage. We use suitable vehicles, professional equipment and protective materials to ensure your items arrive in the same condition they left.
Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Moving between houses or downsizing? We can move full household contents or just your larger furniture. We protect floors, banisters and door frames, and can dismantle and reassemble beds, wardrobes and tables as needed.
Renters
If you are moving between rented flats in Camden, we understand tight timeframes and building rules. We can work around lift bookings and loading restrictions, and help you leave the property in good condition to protect your deposit.
Landlords
We assist landlords with furniture removals for refits, clear-outs and part-furnished lets. Whether you need old furniture removed and disposed of responsibly, or new furniture delivered and installed, we can schedule work between tenancies for minimal disruption.
Businesses
From small offices to retail units, we move desks, chairs, shelving, reception furniture and more. We can work out-of-hours or at weekends to keep your business down-time low, and we label items so they go straight into the correct rooms or departments.
Students
Student moving in or out of Camden accommodation? We offer cost-effective, smaller man and van furniture removals for beds, desks, wardrobes and boxes between halls, flats and storage.

Our Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with a brief outline of what you need moved, from where to where in Camden (or beyond), and your ideal date. We will ask a few questions about access, floors, parking and key items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger moves or more complex properties, we arrange a short virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess parking, stairwells and lifts, and identify any items needing dismantling or extra protection. Accurate surveys prevent surprises on the day and help us allocate the right vehicle and crew size.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day, or beforehand if agreed, our team will:
- Protect furniture with blankets, covers and shrink-wrap where appropriate
- Dismantle items such as beds or wardrobes if required
- Wrap delicate surfaces to avoid scuffs and scratches
- Protect doors, floors and bannisters where necessary
We can also provide packing services for boxes if you prefer not to pack yourself.
4. Loading & Transport
Furniture is loaded in a logical, secure order, with heavy items properly strapped and lighter pieces protected on top. Our vehicles are clean, well-maintained and fitted with tie rails and ample blankets. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance for the journey.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload carefully and place each item in the room you specify. We reassemble any agreed items, check nothing has been missed, and walk you through the property so you are satisfied before we leave.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals in Camden
We price furniture removals fairly and transparently, taking into account:
- Volume and type of furniture
- Access (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
- Distance between properties
- Additional services such as packing or dismantling
- Day and time (standard hours vs evenings/weekends)
Smaller jobs may be priced on a simple hourly rate for a man and van team, while larger moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. All costs are explained in advance, with no hidden extras added on the day, provided the scope of work remains the same.
Why Use Professional Furniture Removals Instead of DIY
Hiring a professional removals company is about more than just having a bigger van. With Man and Van Camden you benefit from:
- Trained crews who know how to move awkward and heavy furniture safely
- Proper tools and equipment – trolleys, straps, covers and skates
- Fully insured transport with goods in transit and public liability cover
- Reduced risk of damage to furniture, walls, doors and flooring
- Less physical strain and lower chance of injury
- A predictable timescale so you can plan cleaners, keys and handovers
A casual man-with-a-van or DIY move may look cheaper, but once you factor in the risk of damage, delays and extra trips, a professional service often represents better overall value.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your belongings and your property are fully protected when you move with us. We carry:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your furniture while being moved and transported
- Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to property or third parties
Our teams are trained in safe handling, driving and customer care. We arrive in uniform, on time, and with all the equipment required. We follow clear checklists so nothing is left behind, and we take responsibility if something goes wrong, dealing with issues promptly and fairly.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every piece of furniture as if it were our own. That means using sufficient wrapping, loading sensibly, and never rushing at the expense of safety. We also try wherever possible to work in a more sustainable way by:
- Re-using durable blankets and protective materials
- Offering reusable crate hire as an alternative to single-use boxes (on request)
- Planning efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Disposing of unwanted furniture through licensed waste partners and recycling where possible
Our aim is a smooth, low-stress move that protects not only your furniture, but also your new and old properties, and the environment.
Real-World Furniture Removals Use Cases
Moving House within or from Camden
If you are relocating within Camden or to another part of London or the UK, we can handle the full furniture move, including packing and dismantling. We are familiar with local parking rules, controlled zones and building management requirements, which helps avoid delays and penalties.
Office and Commercial Moves
We regularly relocate offices, clinics and shops. We can stagger work in phases or complete it outside normal business hours. Furniture is labelled and placed directly at each workstation or department to minimise downtime.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Sometimes moves come up at short notice – a tenancy ending sooner than expected, a sale completing quickly, or a change of plans. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day furniture removals within Camden, with clear communication about timings from the outset.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Camden cost?
The cost depends on how much furniture you have, access at each property, and the distance travelled. Smaller jobs, such as moving a few items locally, are often priced on an hourly rate for a man-and-van team. Larger, full-property moves are usually quoted as a fixed price after a brief survey. This ensures we send the right size vehicle and crew. We will always give you a clear written quote before you book, so you know exactly what is included and can budget with confidence.
Can you do same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Camden, especially for smaller jobs or single items. Our ability to do this depends on existing bookings and crew availability, so the sooner you contact us, the better. If we can accommodate your request, we will confirm an arrival window and what we can realistically achieve within the time available. Even for urgent work we still use proper protective materials and follow safe loading practices – we never compromise on care.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being handled and transported by us, and we also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. We will outline key coverage details when you book, and you are welcome to ask about any specific items of concern. For very high-value or unusual pieces, you may choose to notify your own insurer as an additional safeguard, but in most everyday moves, our standard cover is sufficient.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture between the agreed addresses, plus basic protection with blankets and covers. On request, we can add dismantling and reassembly of items such as beds and wardrobes, and full or partial packing of smaller items into boxes. We also protect vulnerable areas of the property where needed. All services included in your particular quote will be listed in writing, so you know exactly what to expect on the day and can plan around us.
What is the difference between full removals and a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van typically offers transport and some lifting help, but may not include surveys, detailed planning, insurance, or trained crews. Our furniture removals service combines the flexibility of a man-and-van with the standards of a professional removals company: proper equipment, trained staff, fully insured cover, and clear processes. This reduces the risk of damage or delays. For very small, simple jobs, a basic service might suit, but for most household or office moves, professional removals provide better reliability and protection.
How far in advance should I book?
For best availability, especially at busy times such as month-end and weekends, we recommend booking your furniture removal 2–4 weeks in advance. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change, so we always try to be as flexible as possible. If your dates are not yet fixed, we can pencil you in and confirm closer to the time. We also keep some capacity for shorter-notice moves, so it is always worth asking, even if your move is only a few days away.
Piano Removals
Piano Removals in Camden by Man and Van Camden
Moving a piano is not the same as moving ordinary furniture. At Man and Van Camden, we provide a dedicated piano removals service across Camden and the surrounding areas, designed to move your instrument safely, efficiently and with professional care.
Specialist Piano Removals Service Explained
We move all common piano types, from compact uprights to larger instruments, using the correct equipment and proven methods. Our teams are trained to handle the weight, awkward shape and delicate mechanics of pianos, protecting both your property and your instrument.
Whether you are moving a family upright between flats in Camden, relocating a baby grand to a new studio, or clearing a property for landlords, we offer a structured service that focuses on safety, protection and clear communication at every stage.
Local Piano Moving Expertise in Camden
Camden presents particular challenges: tight staircases, basement flats, controlled parking zones and busy streets. Our local knowledge means we plan access properly, allow time for parking, and bring the right team size and equipment for Camden properties.
We regularly carry out piano removals in areas such as Camden Town, Kentish Town, Belsize Park, Chalk Farm and the wider NW1 and NW5 postcodes, working with homeowners, tenants, music schools, rehearsal studios and venues.
Who Our Piano Removals Service Is For
- Homeowners – moving house, renovating, or re-positioning a piano between floors or rooms.
- Renters – moving in or out of flats with stair access, lifts or limited parking.
- Landlords – needing safe removal of pianos between tenancies or during property clearance.
- Businesses – including schools, event spaces, hotels, bars and venues with pianos on site.
- Students – moving keyboards and smaller uprights between halls, flats and practice spaces.
Whether your move is planned weeks ahead or needed at short notice, we tailor our service to your access, instrument type and schedule.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Included in Our Piano Removals
- Upright pianos (all sizes, including overstrung and full-size uprights).
- Baby grand pianos and small grands (with partial disassembly where appropriate).
- Digital pianos and heavy stage pianos.
- Piano stools, music stands and piano-related accessories.
- Associated items such as metronomes and smaller recording equipment when moved with the piano.
Items Excluded or by Prior Arrangement
- Very large concert grands (possible by special arrangement and survey).
- Organs built into the property structure.
- Pianos with serious structural damage or infestation (e.g. woodworm) that make moving unsafe.
- Long-distance export crating (we can recommend specialist partners if needed).
- Tuning and internal mechanical repairs (to be carried out by a qualified piano technician).
If you are unsure about your instrument type or condition, we can assess it during the survey stage and advise on the safest option.
Our Step-by-Step Piano Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: piano type, current location, destination, floors, stairs, lift access and preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no-obligation estimate based on the information you supply. Where access is complex, we will flag that a survey is strongly recommended before confirming the final price.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most piano moves in Camden, we carry out a short virtual survey (video call or photos) to check access, staircases, door widths and parking. For more complex moves, we can attend in person. This step allows us to plan the route, confirm team size, choose the right vehicle and update your quote so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day, our professional team arrives with specialist equipment: padded covers, piano skates, straps and protective floor coverings. We protect your piano with blankets and wrap, and, for grands, we carefully remove and pack legs and pedals as needed. We also protect doors, bannisters and vulnerable corners in your property to minimise the risk of scuffs or damage.
4. Loading & Transport
Once prepared, the piano is lifted and moved using appropriate manual handling techniques and equipment. We never drag instruments across floors. The piano is secured inside our vehicle with straps and padding to prevent movement during transit. Our vehicles are covered by goods in transit insurance, and driven carefully with the weight and balance of your piano in mind.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we reverse the process: protect access routes, carefully unload the piano and position it in the room you choose. We will adjust the final position within reasonable limits and remove all moving materials. We recommend allowing the piano to settle before booking a tuner, especially after a longer journey or change in environment.
Transparent Pricing for Piano Removals
Our pricing is straightforward and based on:
- Type and size of piano (upright, baby grand, etc.).
- Distance between addresses.
- Floors, staircases and any access challenges.
- Parking requirements and time restrictions.
- Any additional labour needed (for example, complex grand disassembly).
We provide a clear written quote before you commit. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (for example, unexpected hoisting or parking costs) are discussed in advance wherever possible. For simple moves within Camden, we can often give a fixed price once we have your access details.
Why Use Professional Piano Movers Instead of DIY
A piano is heavy, awkward and delicate. Attempting a DIY move with untrained friends or a casual van can lead to injuries, property damage and costly damage to the instrument itself. Our trained teams use proper lifting techniques, purpose-built equipment and protective materials to reduce risk.
We also carry the correct insurance, which most informal options do not. The cost of a professional move is usually far less than the cost of repairing or replacing a damaged piano, or fixing damaged flooring, staircases or walls after a poorly planned move.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Camden operates to clear professional standards for all piano removals:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your piano while it is being transported in our vehicle, subject to policy terms and conditions.
- Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to third-party property during the move.
- Trained moving teams – all staff are briefed on safe manual handling and piano-specific techniques.
- Maintained vehicles and equipment – regular checks on straps, blankets, skates and trolleys.
We are happy to confirm insurance details and provide evidence of cover on request so you can book with confidence.
Care, Protection and Sustainable Working
We treat every piano as if it were our own. That means protecting polished surfaces, avoiding sudden shocks, and planning each move rather than rushing it. We also protect your home or premises by using floor coverings and corner protection where needed.
Where possible, we re-use durable protective materials and plan our routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. We aim to load vehicles sensibly, combining jobs when appropriate, to keep our environmental impact lower without compromising service quality.
Real-World Piano Moving Use Cases
- Moving house – relocating a family piano from a Camden terrace to a new home elsewhere in London or across the UK.
- Office or studio relocation – transferring pianos between rehearsal rooms, schools, recording studios or performance venues.
- Urgent moves – helping landlords or tenants remove a piano at short notice before check-out or refurbishment.
- Internal moves – moving a piano between floors or across the building during renovations or layout changes.
Whatever your situation, we will discuss access, timescales and any building rules (such as lift use or quiet hours) to plan the job properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a piano removal in Camden cost?
The cost of a piano removal depends on the type of piano, the distance between properties and the access at each end. Uprights on the ground floor with straightforward access are at the lower end of the scale, while baby grands, multiple flights of stairs or difficult access cost more. Once we know your details, we provide a clear, itemised quote so you understand exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras, and we will always explain any potential additional charges in advance.
Can you move a piano at short notice or on the same day?
Same-day or very short-notice piano removals in Camden are sometimes possible, depending on our schedule and the complexity of the move. Straightforward ground-floor to ground-floor moves are easier to accommodate at short notice than multi-storey or grand piano jobs. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as you can with full details of the instrument and access. We will confirm availability, provide a realistic time window, and advise you honestly if a particular timeframe is not achievable.
Is my piano insured during the move?
Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is on our vehicle, and by our public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property during handling. Insurance is not a substitute for careful work, so our priority is always prevention through proper packing, secure loading and safe lifting techniques. We can provide proof of cover on request, and will happily explain what is and is not included so you can make an informed decision before booking.
What is included in your piano removals service?
Our standard piano removals service includes a pre-move assessment, supply of moving equipment, protective wrapping of the piano, safe loading, secure transport and careful placement at the new location. We also protect key areas of your property wherever practical. Disassembly and reassembly of baby grands, and moving associated items such as stools, are usually included if agreed in advance. What is not included are tuning, internal repairs or long-term storage, although we can recommend trusted partners for these services if required.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van may be suitable for general items but often does not have the training, equipment or insurance cover specifically required for piano removals. We provide specialist handling, use piano skates, padded covers and proper securing methods, and operate with clear procedures. Our teams are briefed on the unique risks of moving heavy, delicate instruments and work to minimise those risks. The result is a safer move for your piano, your property and everyone involved, with professional accountability throughout.
How far in advance should I book a piano removal?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific day or slot. That said, we understand that moves do not always go to plan, and we will always do our best to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Early booking also gives us time to arrange any parking suspensions, building permissions or additional labour that may be required for more complex access or larger instruments.

Our Step‑by‑Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with basic details: current and new addresses, property type, preferred move date and an idea of what needs to be moved. We provide an initial guide price and explain the next steps clearly, with no obligation.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most house removals we recommend a short survey. This may be a video call walk‑through or an onsite visit in Camden and nearby areas. We assess access, parking, volume of goods and any special items. This lets us allocate the right vehicle size, number of movers and time, so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from:
- Full packing service – We supply all materials and professionally pack everything.
- Part packing – We pack fragile or awkward items; you handle the rest.
- Self‑packing – We just move your packed boxes and furniture.
We can supply quality boxes, tape and wrapping materials in advance. We also label items and rooms clearly to make unloading more efficient.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the job with you and protects floors, doors and bannisters where needed. Furniture is wrapped or covered, and boxes are loaded securely. Our vehicles are equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys. Your goods are then transported directly to your new home, or via agreed stops if required.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination we unload carefully, placing boxes and furniture into the rooms you specify. If agreed, we reassemble beds, wardrobes and other furniture, and can position key items so you are able to live comfortably straight away. Before leaving, we carry out a final walk‑through with you to ensure nothing has been missed.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Camden
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of goods (or property size as a guide)
- Access and floor levels at each address
- Distance between properties
- Number of movers and vehicle size required
- Optional extras such as packing or storage
You will receive a written quotation setting out what is included and any optional services. There are no hidden fees for stairs or waiting time that has not been explained in advance. For smaller moves, we may work on a straightforward hourly rate with clear minimum charges.
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 service:
- Trained teams who know how to lift safely and protect your belongings.
- Proper equipment: blankets, straps, trolleys and purpose‑built vehicles.
- Fully insured for both your items and any accidental damage.
- Efficient planning to avoid multiple trips and delays.
- Reduced risk of injury or damage to property.
With a professional Camden removals team, you keep control of the move without taking on all the physical and logistical strain yourself.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Camden operates to clear, professional standards. We provide:
- Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your belongings while they are being moved.
- Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of damage to third‑party property or injury.
- Trained moving teams – Staff experienced in handling fragile, bulky and awkward items.
We handle your possessions with the same care we would give our own, but the added protection of formal insurance gives you further reassurance.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We place strong emphasis on protecting both your belongings and the environment:
- Use of padded covers and wraps for furniture and mattresses.
- Careful loading plans to prevent movement and damage in transit.
- Reusable crates and recycled cardboard boxes where practical.
- Route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions.
- Encouraging clients to reuse or donate boxes and packing materials.
Our goal is a well‑organised, low‑waste move that leaves your old and new homes in excellent condition.
Real‑World Removals Use Cases in Camden
Moving House Within Camden
Many of our clients move between flats and houses in the Camden area. We manage tight staircases, split‑level apartments and limited parking, often arranging staggered loading and unloading times to suit building rules or local restrictions.
Office and Home‑Office Relocations
Small businesses and freelancers rely on us to move desks, files, IT equipment and stock with minimal downtime. We can work outside your trading hours, label equipment for easy re‑connection and coordinate with building management where required.
Urgent and Short‑Notice Moves
Sometimes moves come up quickly: changes in tenancy dates, work relocations or personal circumstances. Subject to availability, we can often provide same‑day or next‑day removals in Camden, still maintaining proper care, documentation and insurance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Camden cost?
The cost of a house removal in Camden depends on the volume of items, access at each property, distance travelled and the level of service you choose. Smaller flat moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while full house moves are usually quoted as a fixed price following a survey. Optional extras, such as packing and materials, are itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for. We provide clear written quotes in advance, with no hidden charges.
Can you do same‑day or urgent house removals?
Where our schedule allows, we can offer same‑day or short‑notice removals in Camden. Availability depends on vehicle and crew capacity, so it is always best to call as early as possible if your move is urgent. Even at short notice we still follow a structured process: we gather key details, assess access and confirm a written rate before starting. For very large properties or complex moves, we may suggest a phased approach over one or two days to keep standards high.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover. These policies are designed to protect against accidental loss or damage in the unlikely event something goes wrong. We are happy to outline the main terms and limits before you book. For particularly valuable or unusual items, we recommend notifying us in advance so we can confirm the level of cover and, if needed, suggest additional protection.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard service includes a trained removals team, a suitable vehicle, protective equipment, loading, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We handle normal furniture, boxed items and typical household contents. You can add services such as packing, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and supply of boxes and materials. Parking arrangements can be coordinated with you, and we will advise if any permits are needed. Everything that is included will be listed clearly in your written quotation so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
How is a professional removal different from a basic man‑and‑van?
While a casual man‑and‑van may move a few items cheaply, a professional removals service offers a much higher level of planning, protection and accountability. We provide trained staff, fully insured vehicles, proper contracts and reliable timings. Your furniture is wrapped, secured and handled systematically, not squeezed in wherever it will fit. We also conduct surveys, advise on packing and access, and offer structured support if anything needs to be claimed on insurance. For a full house move, the difference in risk and stress levels is significant.
How far in advance should I book my Camden house removal?
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking your removal at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a busy day such as a Friday or month end. That said, we understand that exchange and completion dates can move, so we try to remain flexible where possible. If your move is sooner than expected, contact us as early as you can and we will do our best to accommodate you, offering realistic time slots and clear guidance on what is achievable.

Man and Van Camden is based in the borough and we know the area extremely well. From older mansion blocks in Belsize Park to modern developments near King’s Cross, we understand typical building layouts, parking restrictions and loading options in Camden.
This local knowledge saves time on the day and reduces stress for you. We can advise on parking suspensions where required, the best access routes, and the most suitable van size for your exact address.
Items We Can and Cannot Move
Typical Items We Move
Our trained teams handle a wide range of household and business items, including:

- Fridges, freezers, washing machines and other appliances
- Boxes, suitcases, bags and loose items
- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment

Items We Cannot Move
For safety and insurance reasons, there are some things we do not transport:
- Hazardous materials such as gas cylinders, fuels, paint thinners or chemicals
- Illegal items or anything that cannot legally be transported
- Live animals (including pets) – these should travel with you or a specialist service
- Very high-value items like fine art or antiques without prior agreement
- Extremely heavy machinery or items requiring specialist lifting equipment
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, just ask when you enquire and we will give clear guidance.
Our Step-by-Step Man with Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with your move details: addresses, dates, access information and a list of items. We will ask a few focused questions and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote. Pricing is transparent, with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most man with van jobs in Camden, a virtual survey (video call or photos) is enough. For larger or more complex moves, we can arrange an onsite survey. This helps us confirm van size, number of movers and any special requirements such as dismantling furniture or handling restricted access.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings, or choose our packing service for added convenience. If you are self-packing, we will advise on box sizes, labelling and protecting fragile items. On moving day we bring blankets, straps and basic tools, and we can dismantle and reassemble standard furniture where agreed.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional, trained movers load the van carefully, using blankets, covers and securing straps to protect your belongings. We plan the route in advance, taking into account Camden traffic, restricted zones and time limits. Your goods travel under goods in transit insurance for added peace of mind.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We will reassemble any agreed furniture and position large items where you want them, so you can settle in quicker. Before we leave, we do a final walk-through with you to make sure everything is where it should be.
Transparent Pricing for Man with Van Camden
We believe in straightforward, honest pricing. For most man with van jobs, we charge either an hourly rate with a sensible minimum booking, or a fixed price for clearly defined moves. Your quote will confirm:
- Number of movers and size of van
- Estimated time required
- Any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly
- Parking or congestion-related charges, where applicable
There are no surprise add-ons at the end. If circumstances change – for example, extra items or delays outside our control – we explain any impact on cost before proceeding.
Why Choose a Professional Man with Van Over DIY
Hiring a professional man with van in Camden offers clear advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual, unregistered operator.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with van in Camden cost?
Pricing depends on the size of the van, number of movers, distance travelled and how long the job is likely to take. Smaller local moves might be charged on an hourly basis with a minimum booking, while more defined jobs are often priced as a fixed quote. To give you a fair price, we ask for details of your addresses, access, and the items being moved. Once we understand the scope, we provide a clear cost breakdown so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Can you offer same-day or urgent man with van services?
Yes, in many cases we can arrange a same-day or short-notice man with van in Camden, especially for smaller moves or single-item collections. Availability varies depending on the time of day and existing bookings, so the sooner you contact us, the better your chances. When you get in touch, let us know your deadlines, where from and to, and what needs moving. We will confirm quickly whether we can help and provide a realistic timescale and price.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and declared values. We also hold public liability cover for additional protection. Insurance is not a substitute for good practice, so our teams still pad, wrap and secure items carefully. We can explain the key limits and exclusions before you book, and if you have particularly high-value pieces, we will discuss the best way to record and protect them for the journey.
What is included in your man with van service?
Our standard man with van service includes a suitable vehicle, one or more professional movers, loading, transport and unloading at your destination. We provide blankets and securing straps as standard, and basic tools for straightforward furniture dismantling where agreed. Additional services such as full packing, supplying boxes, extensive furniture assembly or removal of bulky waste can be added by arrangement. Your quote will clearly list what is included so you can see exactly what we will do on the day.
How is a professional removals service different from a casual man-and-van?
A professional removals provider offers structured processes, proper insurance and trained staff, which is not always the case with informal operators. We survey your move, plan vehicle size and staffing, bring protective equipment and work to agreed timescales. You benefit from goods in transit insurance, public liability cover, and clear communication before and during the move. This reduces the risk of damage, delays or last-minute cancellations, and gives you a reliable point of contact if anything needs follow-up.
How far in advance should I book a man with van in Camden?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially for weekends, month-end and peak moving periods. However, we understand that moves are not always planned that far ahead. If you need help at short notice, contact us and we will check our schedule for same-day or next-day options. Once booked, we confirm all details in writing so you know exactly when we will arrive and what to expect.
Student Removals
Student Removals in Camden by Man and Van Camden
Moving in or out of student halls, a shared flat or a house share in Camden can be stressful, especially if you don’t have a car or much spare time between exams and part-time work. At Man and Van Camden, we provide straightforward, affordable student removals designed around the way students actually live and move.
Specialist Student Removals in Camden
Our student moving service focuses on smaller, personal moves rather than full family houses. That means we’re set up to move you quickly and efficiently between:
- Camden halls of residence and student accommodation
- Shared houses and flat-shares around Camden and nearby areas
- Home and university at the start or end of term
- Short-term sublets and temporary student stays
We understand tight budgets, awkward staircases, limited parking and last‑minute plans. Our professional teams work calmly and efficiently so you can focus on studying, not lifting boxes.
Local Camden Expertise
As a Camden-based removals company, we know the local streets, estates and student blocks extremely well. This local knowledge means:
- Smarter route planning to keep costs and delays down
- Understanding of loading restrictions and bus lanes
- Experience dealing with halls reception and building management
- Realistic arrival windows that fit around your timetable
Whether you’re moving near Camden Market, along the High Street, or to nearby areas like Kentish Town or Chalk Farm, our drivers and porters are used to the traffic, parking rules and building layouts.
Who Our Student Removals Service Is For
Although this page focuses on students, our flexible service also suits a range of customers in Camden:
- Homeowners – Small part-loads for students moving back home or between family and uni.
- Renters – Room-to-room moves, single-person flat moves, and shared house changes.
- Landlords – Clearing or setting up student rooms between tenancies.
- Businesses – Moving equipment or furniture for student lets and serviced accommodation.
- Students – The core of this service: term-time moves, end-of-lease moves, and gap-year storage transfers.
What We Can Move for Students
Our vans and crews are set up for the typical contents of a student room or small flat, including:
- Boxes, suitcases and bags of clothes and books
- Desks, chairs, small shelving units and bedside tables
- Mattresses, bed frames (dismantled if needed), and small wardrobes
- Computers, monitors, TVs and gaming equipment
- Kitchenware: pots, pans, microwaves, small appliances
- Musical instruments and hobby equipment (with appropriate protection)
We can also handle large or awkward items with prior notice, such as sofas, fridges and washing machines, as long as access allows and the item is safe to move.
Items We Cannot Move
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some things we are unable to transport. These typically include:
- Illegal items or substances of any kind
- Open containers of liquids or chemicals that may leak
- Flammable or hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, fireworks, etc.)
- Perishable food for long-distance or long-duration moves
- Animals or pets
- Cash, jewellery, passports and other small high-value personal documents (these are best kept with you)
If you are unsure about any specific item, just ask when you enquire and we will advise.
Our Step-by-Step Student Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: where you’re moving from and to, approximate dates, what you’re moving and any access restrictions (for example, no lift, narrow stairs, limited parking). We’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us, explaining exactly what is included in the price.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most student moves, a quick virtual survey (photos, video call, or a detailed list) is perfectly adequate. For larger student flats or shared houses, we can arrange an onsite survey in Camden. The survey ensures we send the right size van, the correct number of movers and enough protective materials, avoiding last-minute surprises.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own belongings into boxes, bags and suitcases, or add our packing service if you prefer. We can supply sturdy boxes and tape in advance if required. On moving day, we bring removal blankets, straps and other protective materials to safeguard your belongings and the property. We encourage you to label boxes clearly to make unloading smoother.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained moving team will load everything carefully, starting with large items and stacking boxes safely. We protect furniture, banisters and floors where needed. Once the van is loaded, we transport your belongings directly to your new address, choosing sensible routes based on time of day and traffic conditions around Camden and beyond.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify – not just dumping everything in the hallway. We can place larger items where you want them so you can set up quickly. Once everything is unloaded, we do a final check with you to ensure nothing has been overlooked before we leave.
Transparent, Student-Friendly Pricing
We know students need clarity on costs and no hidden extras. Our student removals in Camden are priced either:
- On a fixed-price basis for clearly defined moves, or
- On an hourly rate for flexible, smaller or more open-ended jobs.
The price we quote will explain:
- How many movers are included
- What size of van we’ll use
- How long we expect the job to take
- Any additional services (packing, dismantling, extra stops)
We’ll also advise on ways to keep your costs down – for example, being packed and ready, booking off-peak times where possible, and combining moves with housemates if practical.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals team, even for a small student move, offers several advantages over borrowing a car or booking a casual man-and-van:
- Safety – Lifting and carrying furniture incorrectly can cause injuries. Our teams are trained in safe handling.
- Protection – We use proper blankets, straps and packing methods to reduce the risk of damage.
- Reliability – We arrive when we say we will; you’re not relying on friends’ cars or last-minute favours.
- Insurance – Your belongings are covered under our policies, not just at your own risk.
- Time-saving – We move faster and more efficiently, freeing you to focus on exams, work or settling in.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Man and Van Camden operates to clear, professional standards. We are:
- Fully insured with goods in transit cover, protecting your belongings while they are in our care and on our vehicles.
- Backed by public liability insurance, offering protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or third parties.
- Staffed by trained and experienced moving teams who handle items properly and respectfully.
We treat student moves with the same care we give to full house or office relocations, because we know how important your belongings are to you.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to balance high standards of care with a responsible approach to the environment:
- Using reusable removal blankets and durable crates where appropriate
- Recommending the reuse of boxes and packing materials rather than single-use supplies
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce mileage and fuel use
- Encouraging donation or recycling of unwanted items rather than disposal
Throughout your move, we protect floors, walls and furniture to minimise scuffs and scratches – important in rented student accommodation where deposits are at stake.
Real-World Student Removal Scenarios in Camden
Moving into Halls for First Year
We regularly help first-year students and their families move into halls in Camden and surrounding areas. Our team handles the heavy lifting from the car park to the room, allowing parents to focus on saying goodbye and helping you settle in, rather than carrying boxes up several flights of stairs.
Switching Shared Houses Mid-Year
Changing housemates or landlords can mean moving mid-term. We manage quick, local moves between shared houses, often within the same area of Camden, keeping disruption to your studies to a minimum. Short-notice bookings are possible subject to availability.
End-of-Term Moves and Storage Transfers
When term ends, you may need to move your belongings back home or into storage. We can collect from your student accommodation, deliver part to your family home and part to a storage unit, making the process simple and organised.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a student removal in Camden cost?
The cost depends mainly on how much you’re moving, the distance between addresses, access (lifts, stairs, parking) and whether you need extra services like packing. Many student moves fall within a few hours of labour plus travel time, and we’ll always give a clear estimate before you book. To keep costs down, be fully packed and ready, and provide an accurate list of items. Contact us with your details and we’ll provide a straightforward, no-obligation quote.
Can you handle same-day or urgent student moves?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Camden, especially outside of peak house-moving weekends. Availability depends on our schedule, the size of van required and the distance involved. If you need an urgent move, call us as early as possible with your details. We’ll tell you honestly what we can do, provide an immediate estimate, and, if we can’t help at the time you need, suggest alternatives or different time slots on the same day.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to our terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property. There are some exclusions, such as certain high-value items or items we have specifically advised we cannot carry. We’ll explain our insurance limitations clearly when you book so you know what is and is not covered, and you can choose to keep particularly valuable items with you.
What exactly is included in your student removals service?
Our standard service includes providing a suitable van, a professional moving team, protective blankets and basic tools for simple dismantling where agreed in advance. We load, transport and unload your belongings into the rooms you specify. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes, additional stops (for example, picking up items from friends’ houses), and dismantling or reassembly of furniture. When you enquire, we’ll set out clearly what’s included in your quote so there are no surprises on the day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While the term “man and van” is often used casually, our service operates to professional removals standards. We provide trained teams, proper protective equipment, and fully insured vehicles. We conduct surveys where appropriate, confirm bookings formally, and arrive in uniform with the right tools for the job. A casual man-and-van may be cheaper initially, but can lack insurance, reliability and care. Our aim is to offer the flexibility of a man-and-van with the standards of a dedicated removals company.
How far in advance should I book my student move?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially around the start and end of university terms, we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance. That said, we understand that student plans can change quickly, and we will always try to accommodate short-notice bookings where our schedule allows. If your dates are flexible, tell us and we may be able to offer off-peak slots at better rates. Once booked, we’ll confirm everything in writing so you know exactly what to expect.
Same day Removals
Same Day Removals Camden – Man and Van Camden
When plans change at the last minute, you need a professional removals team who can respond quickly, turn up when they say they will, and move your belongings safely. Man and Van Camden provides reliable same day removals in Camden and surrounding areas, delivered by experienced, fully insured movers who understand the pressures of an urgent move.
What Our Same Day Removals Service Includes
Our same day service is a fast-track version of our standard removals, with the same care and professional standards. We can help with:
- Urgent flat and house moves in and around Camden
- Last-minute student moves to and from halls or shared houses
- Short-notice business relocations and office clearances

Every job is carried out by a trained team, using clean, well-equipped vans with blankets, straps and trolleys to keep your belongings secure in transit.
Local Expertise in Camden
Camden is a busy area with narrow streets, restricted parking and time-limited loading bays. Using a team that works here every day makes a real difference. Our drivers and porters know:
- The quickest routes across Camden Town, Kentish Town, Belsize Park and Hampstead
- Where loading is possible near estates, mansion blocks and mews streets
- How to coordinate access with building management and concierges
This local knowledge helps us complete same day removals efficiently, even at short notice, while keeping disruption to your neighbours to a minimum.
Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If your completion date moves unexpectedly or a previous removal company lets you down, we can step in to carry out a full same day house move. We handle everything from small one-bed flats to family homes, with careful protection for furniture and flooring.
Renters
Last-minute notice from a landlord or a sudden change of circumstances often means you need to move quickly. We help renters across Camden avoid extra rent or penalties by moving out on the required date, even when notice is short.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We work with landlords and agents who need a property cleared before new tenants arrive. From removing abandoned items to moving furniture between properties, our same day removals in Camden keep your lettings schedule on track.
Businesses
For Camden offices, shops and studios, downtime costs money. We provide same day office removals for urgent relocations, temporary moves during refurbishments, and rapid clearances of furniture, stock and equipment.
Students
Students in Camden, Euston, Bloomsbury and surrounding areas often need short-notice help at the start or end of term. We offer affordable same day student removals for room moves, shared house moves and storage runs.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers (disconnected)
- Boxes, bags, suitcases and personal belongings
- Office furniture, IT equipment and archive boxes
- Student belongings and small furniture
- Flat-pack furniture, mirrors and artwork (suitably packed)
Items We Generally Exclude
- Hazardous or illegal items – fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint, explosives
- Live animals or pets
- High-value artwork, jewellery or cash (these should be carried by you personally)
- Commercial machinery that requires specialist lifting or decommissioning
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will clarify this during your enquiry so there are no surprises on the day.
Our Same Day Removals Process
Even when time is tight, we follow a structured process to keep your move organised and predictable.
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with the details of your move: addresses, access, number of rooms, key items and any special requirements. We assess availability for same day or next-day service and provide a clear, no-obligation price based on the information you give us.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For urgent moves, we usually carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or a video call. For larger properties where timing allows, we may visit in person. The survey ensures we send the right size vehicle, the right number of movers and the correct equipment.
3. Packing & Preparation
If you are packed and ready, we get straight to loading. If not, we can provide same day packing assistance for a defined list of items. We use blankets, covers and protective materials for furniture, and can supply boxes and tape where needed.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team carefully carries and loads your belongings, securing everything with straps and protective blankets. We plan the route to avoid unnecessary delays and keep you updated on arrival times at your new property.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload items into the rooms you specify, helping with basic placement of furniture so you can start settling in straight away. We will not leave until you are satisfied that everything listed has been delivered and placed as agreed.
Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals in Camden
We price our same day removals fairly, based on:
- Size of the move (volume of items, number of rooms)
- Number of movers required
- Travel distance between properties
- Access issues (stairs, parking, long carries)
- Urgency and time of day (evening or weekend surcharges may apply)
You will receive a clear breakdown before we confirm your booking, with no hidden extras added on the day unless the scope of the job changes by mutual agreement. We offer both fixed-price moves and hourly rates, depending on what suits your situation best.
Why Choose Professional Same Day Removals Over DIY
When time is short, trying to organise your own van and helpers can quickly become stressful and risky. A professional removals team provides:
- Experience in safely handling heavy and awkward items
- Efficient loading that makes best use of van space
- Proper equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets and tools
- Insurance cover if something goes wrong
- Reliable timekeeping and a committed schedule
Informal help from friends or a casual man-and-van may seem cheaper, but damage, delays and last-minute cancellations often cost more in the long run.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Camden operates to professional standards so you can book with confidence, even at short notice.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to terms and limits.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury during the move.
- Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in lifting techniques, safe loading and customer care.
We are always happy to explain our cover in detail and provide confirmation on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your belongings are handled as if they were our own. We use padded blankets, mattress and sofa covers where required, and take care to protect walls, floors and doors in both properties. We encourage the use of reusable crates where appropriate and aim to minimise waste by reusing packing materials and recycling where possible.
Route planning helps reduce unnecessary mileage, and our vehicles are maintained for fuel efficiency, reducing their environmental impact while keeping reliability high.
Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases
Emergency House Move
A family in Camden Town needed to move out on the same day due to a sudden change in completion dates. Within hours, our team had completed a virtual survey, provided a fixed quote and dispatched a two-man crew with a large van. The move was completed that evening with minimal disruption.
Urgent Office Relocation
A small creative agency in Camden Lock lost access to their premises at short notice. We moved their desks, chairs, computers and stock to a serviced office the same day, ensuring they were ready to work the next morning.
Last-Minute Student Move
A student in Kentish Town needed to vacate a room the day their tenancy ended. We collected their belongings, delivered essentials to a new flat and took the rest to local storage, all within a single visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a same day removal in Camden cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your move, distance between addresses, access and how many movers are required. Smaller same day moves within Camden can often be completed on an hourly rate, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted at a fixed price. There may be additional charges for late evening work, weekends or particularly difficult access. We will provide a clear quote before you commit, so you know exactly what to expect and can compare options without pressure.
Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?
We do our best to accommodate same day requests, especially within Camden and nearby areas, but availability depends on our schedule and the size of the job. Smaller moves are usually easier to fit in at short notice than full house moves. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better the chance we can allocate a team and vehicle. If same day is not possible, we will offer the earliest realistic alternative and explain what can and cannot be achieved within your timeframe.
Are my belongings insured during a same day move?
Yes. Our goods in transit insurance covers your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, and our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to third-party property or injury. As with any insurance, there are limits, exclusions and conditions, which we are happy to explain before you book. For very high-value or particularly fragile items, we may recommend additional specialist cover or discuss handling options to make sure you are comfortable with the level of protection.
What exactly is included in your same day removals service?
Our same day service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained moving team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We provide basic protection such as blankets and straps for your furniture, and can assist with dismantling simple items where agreed in advance. Optional extras such as packing services, packing materials and multiple drops can usually be added, depending on time and availability. We will confirm what is included in your quote so you know exactly what we will do on the day and what you may need to organise yourself.
How is a professional removal different from a casual man-and-van?
A professional removals service offers more structure, accountability and protection. You get trained staff, appropriate vehicles and equipment, written confirmations and proper insurance. We plan access, routes and timings, and we are responsible for completing the move as agreed. A casual man-and-van may be fine for a simple single-item job, but for full home or office moves, the risks of damage, delays and no-shows are much higher. With Man and Van Camden, you know who is turning up, when they will arrive and what standards they work to.
How far in advance should I book a same day removal?
For same day moves, contact us as early as possible – ideally first thing in the morning. This gives us the best chance of allocating the right team and vehicle and completing a short survey so there are no surprises. For planned moves, we recommend booking at least a week ahead, but we regularly help clients with 24–48 hours’ notice. Even if your timing is very tight, it is still worth calling; we will always be honest about what we can realistically do for you.

Whether you’re moving a few items across Camden or shifting a compact flat across London, we plan the job carefully, protect your possessions, and keep you informed from first enquiry to final placement of furniture.

We regularly handle moves to and from:
- Period conversions and basement flats

How Our Camden Man and a Van Service Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the details of your move: addresses, dates, an overview of items, and any access issues. We ask a few practical questions and provide a clear, no‑obligation quote based on time, distance, and the size of van and crew required.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most man and a van moves, a quick virtual survey via video call or detailed photos is sufficient. For more complex jobs – awkward access, heavy items, or larger flats – we may arrange a short onsite visit in Camden to confirm volume and access so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Self-packing – You pack your own boxes; we supply boxes and materials on request.
- Partial packing service – We pack fragile or awkward items only.
We advise on labelling, dismantling furniture where needed, and protecting delicate items. On the day, we bring blankets, straps and basic tools to protect and secure your belongings.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional movers load the van carefully, using blankets, straps and logical stacking to avoid damage in transit. We plan the route to avoid low bridges, tight turns and congestion where possible. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are with us.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new address, we unload to the rooms you indicate and reassemble any items we dismantled (within scope agreed). We place furniture sensibly so you can start using your new space immediately, and we do a final check with you before leaving.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
Our man and a van service in Camden is priced to be clear and predictable. We typically charge on an hourly basis with a minimum booking period, or a fixed price for well‑defined moves. Your quote will set out:
- Van size and number of movers
- Hourly rate or fixed fee
- Included mileage and any extra travel time
- Parking, congestion and ULEZ considerations where relevant
There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (such as unexpected waiting for keys, or significant extra items) are explained in advance. We always aim to match the service level to your budget and requirements.
Why Choose a Professional Man and a Van Over DIY
Hiring a casual van or asking friends to help can seem cheaper, but often leads to delays, damage and stress. With Man and Van Camden you benefit from:
- Trained movers who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps, and tools for dismantling
- Fully insured transport, including goods in transit and public liability
- Efficient loading and route planning that can often reduce overall time
- A single, accountable company rather than an informal arrangement
For many Camden moves, our professional man and a van service offers the best balance between cost, safety and convenience.
Insurance and Professional Standards

- Goods in transit insurance – Covering your items while they are being moved in our vehicles.
- Public liability cover – Protecting against accidental damage to property or third parties.
- Trained moving teams – Staff who understand safe lifting, packing and handling techniques.
We follow industry best practice in planning, loading and securing loads, and we keep our vehicles clean, well‑maintained and suitable for urban work in Camden and central London.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care not only of your possessions, but also of your property and the environment. Floors and doorways are protected where needed, furniture is wrapped with removal blankets, and we use appropriate lifting techniques to reduce the risk of damage. Where possible, we reuse durable packing materials, minimise unnecessary journeys, and plan efficient routes to cut down on emissions.
We also encourage clients to reuse boxes, recycle unwanted items responsibly, and donate usable goods rather than sending them to landfill.
Common Real‑World Use Cases in Camden
- Moving house or flat – Ideal for studios, one‑beds and smaller two‑beds, or as an additional van alongside a larger crew.
- Office relocations – Moving small offices, creative studios, or single departments with minimal disruption.
- Student moves – From halls to shared houses, or Camden to home at the end of term.
- Urgent or same‑day moves – When a tenancy changes quickly, keys are released late, or another mover lets you down.
- Single item and bulky deliveries – Collecting or delivering sofas, wardrobes, appliances, or eBay/Facebook Marketplace purchases.
Whatever the situation, we discuss your priorities – speed, budget, access or timing – and plan the move around them.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and a van in Camden cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of van, number of movers, time required, and distance travelled. For most local Camden moves, we offer an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, or a fixed price once we understand the volume and access at each property. The quote you receive will explain what is included, such as loading, unloading and standard travel time. To keep costs down, you can have everything packed and ready on the ground floor, and let us know in advance about any heavy or awkward items.
Can you provide same‑day or urgent man and a van bookings?
Yes, we often can, especially for local Camden jobs. Availability will depend on how busy the schedule is and what size van and crew you require. If you need a same‑day or very short‑notice move, call us as early as possible with clear details of addresses, timing and what needs moving. We will confirm quickly whether we can help, and give you a realistic arrival window. Where we cannot assist directly, we will always be honest rather than over‑promising and turning up late.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care, and we hold public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. There are standard limits and conditions, which we’re happy to explain before you book. We ask you to point out any particularly high‑value items so we can confirm cover and take extra precautions. Insurance is there as a safety net; our focus is always on preventing damage through careful packing, loading and handling.
What is included in your man and a van service?
Our Camden man and a van service includes a suitable van, fuel, and one or more trained movers to load, transport and unload your belongings. We supply removal blankets, straps, and basic tools for straightforward furniture dismantling and reassembly, along with insured transport between the agreed addresses. Packing is usually done by you, but we can provide materials or a partial packing service if requested. Parking charges, congestion and ULEZ fees are discussed in advance so your quote is clear and there are no surprises on the day.
What’s the difference between a removals service and a basic man‑and‑van?
A basic man‑and‑van is often just a driver and vehicle, with limited equipment, no formal training and sometimes no proper insurance. Our Camden man and a van service is run as a professional removals operation, with trained staff, planning, fully insured transport, and clear terms. It sits between a simple van hire and a full multi‑vehicle removal. For many smaller moves, it gives you the right level of support without the cost of a large crew, while still offering accountability and standards you can rely on.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekend or month‑end moves in Camden, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, as those dates fill quickly. For mid‑week or off‑peak times, a few days’ notice is often enough. If your dates are flexible, we can suggest quieter days that may be better value. That said, we understand moves do not always go to plan, so we keep some flexibility for late changes and urgent jobs. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer.
Flat Removals
Flat Removals Camden – Man and Van Camden
Moving in or out of a flat in Camden brings its own challenges: narrow staircases, restricted parking, lifts that don’t always work, and neighbours who still need peace and quiet. At Man and Van Camden, our dedicated flat removals service is built specifically around these realities, so your move is organised, predictable and properly protected.
Specialist Flat Removals in Camden
Flat moves are not the same as house moves. Access is tighter, timings are often dictated by building management, and there may be noise or lift restrictions. Our experienced team plans every Camden flat removal around your building’s rules, your landlord’s requirements and your schedule.
We handle everything from studio flat removals to large multi-floor apartment moves, with options for packing, dismantling, and short or long-distance transport. Every move is carried out by trained, uniformed, and fully insured movers who work methodically and respectfully in shared spaces.
Who Our Camden Flat Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you own a flat in Camden and are upsizing, downsizing or relocating, we provide a full, planned removals service that meets building management requirements, protects communal areas and keeps your sale or purchase on schedule.
Renters
Whether you’re ending a tenancy or swapping flats locally, we help you leave the property in good order. We protect floors and walls, avoid damage to communal areas, and can assist with disassembly and reassembly so you can hand the keys back with confidence.
Landlords
We support landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, partial removals and furniture changes between lets. We work to tight timeframes, remove unwanted items responsibly, and protect the condition of your property and shared areas.
Businesses
Running an office or studio from a flat or apartment? We manage office and studio flat relocations, safely moving IT equipment, files, stock and furniture with minimal disruption to your work and neighbours.
Students
Camden is busy with students every term. Our student flat removals are ideal if you’re moving into halls, shared accommodation or between rentals. We offer smaller, budget-friendly moves while still giving your belongings proper protection.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Sofas, armchairs, beds and wardrobes
- Chests of drawers, desks and shelving
- Dining tables, chairs and sideboards
- TVs, audio equipment and home electronics
- Fridges, freezers, washing machines and small appliances
- Clothes, books, kitchenware and personal belongings
- Bikes, sports equipment, hobby and musical items
- Bagged or boxed items from lofts, cupboards and storage units
Items Generally Excluded or By Prior Arrangement
- Hazardous materials (paints, fuels, chemicals, gas bottles)
- Illegal or stolen goods
- Unboxed loose small items that are unsafe to carry
- Extremely high-value items (art, jewellery) without prior agreement
- Non-standard pianos, safes and very heavy machinery (may require specialist handling)
- Live animals or plants requiring special conditions
If you’re unsure whether a particular item can be moved, just ask during the enquiry or survey. We’ll either accommodate it or recommend a suitable specialist.
Our Step-by-Step Camden Flat Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone or online with your addresses, rough inventory and preferred dates. We’ll ask about flat access, floors, lifts, parking and any building rules. From this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with a breakdown of services so you know exactly what’s included.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small flat, we recommend a short survey. This can often be done virtually via video call, or we can visit in person. The survey allows us to confirm access issues, estimate packing needs, and identify any dismantling or special handling required, leading to an accurate, fixed quotation.
3. Packing & Preparation
On moving day (or earlier, if booked), our team arrives with materials and equipment. Options include:
- Full packing service – we pack everything professionally
- Partial packing – we handle fragile or awkward items
- Supply of boxes and materials for self-packing
Furniture is protected with covers; mattresses are bagged; and, where required, items are carefully dismantled and labelled for reassembly.
4. Loading & Transport
We plan loading around your building and Camden’s parking rules. Floors and communal areas are protected as needed. Our trained team uses trolleys, straps and blankets to move items safely and efficiently. Your goods are then transported in our clean, well-maintained vehicles under goods in transit insurance, driven by experienced local drivers.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new flat, we unload, place furniture in the rooms you choose and stack boxes sensibly for easy unpacking. Where agreed, we reassemble furniture we dismantled at the origin address. Before leaving, we check you’re happy with placement and that nothing has been missed.
Transparent, Fair Pricing for Camden Flat Moves
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume and type of items
- Number of floors, access and lift availability
- Distance between properties
- Level of service (packing, dismantling, evening or weekend work)
You’ll receive a written quotation outlining what’s included, any optional extras, and how long we expect the move to take. There are no hidden charges: parking, congestion and other known fees are either itemised or clearly explained in advance.
Why Choose Professional Flat Removals over DIY
Carrying furniture down several flights of stairs or negotiating tight Camden streets with a rented van can be stressful and risky. With a professional flat removals service you gain:
- Safety – trained lifting techniques reduce the risk of injury
- Protection – proper equipment and materials prevent damage
- Efficiency – an organised team moves you faster and more smoothly
- Insurance cover – your belongings are protected in transit
- Compliance – we respect building rules and Camden’s parking regulations
A casual man-and-van without insurance or training might look cheaper at first, but a single damaged stairwell or broken sofa can cost much more than a correctly managed move.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Camden operates to recognised industry standards. Your move benefits from:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover – for peace of mind in communal areas and third-party properties
- Trained moving teams – experienced staff who understand handling, packing and access challenges
We keep our vehicles clean and well maintained, use appropriate equipment and follow clear procedures for loading, securing and transporting your possessions.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Your belongings and your building are treated with the same care we would want for our own. We use padded covers, blankets and floor protection where needed, and handle communal areas with particular respect. Wherever possible we:
- Reuse durable moving blankets and re-usable crates
- Source recyclable packing materials
- Plan routes to minimise unnecessary mileage
- Offer collection of used boxes for reuse or recycling when practical
This approach keeps your move tidy and responsible while reducing waste.
Real-World Flat Removal Scenarios in Camden
Moving Between Flats in the Same Block
We regularly help people shift between floors in the same Camden building. With careful planning around lift use and stair protection, these moves can be quick and minimally disruptive to neighbours.
New Job or Office Relocation
If you’re relocating for work, we can coordinate with your new building’s management and reception to ensure the move is smooth, whether you’re moving to another part of Camden or further afield.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Situations change quickly – a tenancy ending sooner than expected, a sale completing earlier than planned, or an urgent need to vacate. Subject to availability, we can arrange same-day or next-day flat removals in Camden, still providing the protection and professionalism you’d expect from a planned move.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do flat removals in Camden cost?
The cost of a flat removal in Camden depends on how much you’re moving, access at each property, distance, and whether you need packing or dismantling. Smaller studio or one-bed moves can often be completed in half a day, while larger flats need more time and staff. After a short discussion or survey, we provide a clear, fixed quotation with no hidden extras. This will detail labour, vehicle use and any additional services, so you can compare it easily with your budget and other options.
Can you handle same-day or urgent flat moves?
Yes, subject to availability we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice flat removals in Camden. The more information you can provide when you contact us – inventory size, addresses, access details and your deadline – the better we can plan a realistic solution. While urgent moves may be slightly more limited in packing options, we still use protective materials and follow our standard procedures. It’s always worth calling even at short notice; we’ll be honest about what’s possible on the day.
What insurance cover do you provide?
Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability insurance for work in and around your properties. This cover is designed for normal household and flat contents. If you have individual items of particularly high value or unusual risk, mention them during the quotation stage so we can advise on the best approach. We also take preventative steps – proper packing, securing loads, and careful handling – to reduce the likelihood of any claim.
What’s included in your Camden flat removals service?
Our standard flat removals service includes loading, transport and unloading of your belongings between properties, with furniture and large items protected during handling. We position items in the rooms you choose and can dismantle and reassemble standard furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of materials, and disposal of agreed unwanted items. Your written quotation will set out exactly what is included for your move so there are no surprises on the day and you can add or remove services as needed.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While some man-and-van services are simply transport with minimal support, we provide a structured professional removals service. That means trained staff, insurance cover, proper protective materials, and a detailed plan for access, parking and timing. We survey where necessary, confirm your booking in writing and work to agreed standards of care in your home and communal areas. For a flat move in Camden, where stairs, lifts and neighbours all matter, that extra level of organisation and responsibility can make a significant difference.
How far in advance should I book my flat removal?
Ideally, book as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you’re aiming for a weekend or month-end, which are popular times. One to three weeks’ notice is typical for Camden flat removals, but we regularly accommodate moves with shorter lead times. Early booking gives you more choice of dates and allows proper planning with building management where required. If your date is not yet fixed, we can still provide a provisional quote and discuss options so you’re ready to confirm once contracts or tenancy details are finalised.
Man and Van
Man and Van Camden – Local, Professional Moving Support
At Man and Van Camden, we provide a reliable, well-organised man and van removals service across Camden and the surrounding areas. Run by experienced movers, not casual drivers, we focus on careful handling, honest advice and clear pricing so your move is straightforward from start to finish.
What Our Man and Van Service Includes
Our man and van service is a flexible, smaller-scale removals option, ideal when you do not need a full lorry and large crew but still want a professional, fully insured move. We tailor each job to your needs – from a single item to a compact flat or small office.
Who Our Service Is For
- Homeowners moving between flats, studios and smaller homes in or around Camden.
- Renters changing tenancy, upsizing or downsizing within North London.
- Landlords needing quick clearances or furniture moves between properties.
- Businesses relocating small offices, stock, or equipment locally.
- Students moving into or out of halls and shared houses around Camden, Kentish Town, Belsize Park and beyond.
Whether you are moving a one-bed flat or just a few bulky items, our trained team plans the job properly and handles everything with care.
Local Man and Van Experts in Camden
Camden is a busy, often congested area with tight streets, one-way systems and controlled parking zones. Using a local team makes a real difference. We know:
- Which routes work best at different times of day.
- Where loading restrictions and bus lanes can catch you out.
- How to plan around events, markets and Camden High Street traffic.
We can advise on parking suspensions, loading bays and access for your move, helping you avoid delays and potential penalties. That local knowledge saves time and stress on moving day.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
Our man and van Camden service regularly handles:
- Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs, bookcases.
- Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (properly defrosted), cookers.
- Personal belongings – boxes, bags, suitcases and stored items.
- Office items – desks, chairs, filing cabinets, IT equipment (appropriately packed).
- Student moves – clothes, books, small furniture, musical instruments.
Items We Cannot or May Not Move
For safety, insurance and legal reasons, some items are excluded or need prior agreement:
- Hazardous materials – gas bottles, fuel containers, chemicals, paint thinners.
- Illegal or restricted items – anything unlawful to transport or possess.
- Very high-value items (art, antiques, collections) without prior disclosure and special arrangements.
- Live animals (including pets) – we can offer guidance but do not transport them.
- Items fixed to the property (plumbed-in appliances, light fittings) unless pre-arranged.
If you are unsure whether something can be moved, ask when you request your quote; we will give clear guidance and options.
Our Step-by-Step Man and Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with the key details: addresses, access notes, list of items and preferred dates. We respond promptly with a clear, no-obligation quote, either fixed price or hourly rate depending on the job. We explain exactly what is included so there are no surprises.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most man and van jobs, a short virtual survey (photos, video call, or detailed inventory) is sufficient. For more complex access or larger loads, we may arrange an onsite visit in Camden. This helps us allocate the right van size, number of movers and time, avoiding overruns on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service for an additional fee. We also supply quality packing materials on request. On moving day, we protect furniture with blankets and covers, and we can dismantle and reassemble basic items such as bed frames and tables if agreed in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional, trained movers load your belongings systematically, securing them in the van to minimise movement during transit. We work carefully in communal areas and stairwells, protecting walls and floors where needed. Your goods are then transported directly to your new address using sensible, well-planned routes.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload into the rooms you specify, not just the doorway. Where agreed, we reassemble furniture and place items so you can settle in faster. Before leaving, we check you are satisfied that everything listed has been delivered and positioned.
Transparent Pricing – How Our Man and Van Costs Work
We believe in clear, upfront costs. Our Camden man and van pricing is usually based on:
- Van size and number of movers required.
- Total time involved, including travel between addresses.
- Distance travelled, especially for moves leaving the local area.
- Any additional services, such as packing, materials or furniture assembly.
We will confirm whether your job is best on an hourly rate or a fixed price. Parking charges, congestion charge and tolls (where applicable) are explained in advance and either included or listed separately so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why Choose Professional Movers Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Hiring a cheap, unverified van can seem tempting, but there are real risks: no insurance, poor handling, unreliable timings, and potential damage to property or belongings. With Man and Van Camden you benefit from:
- Fully insured vehicles and cover for your goods.
- Trained staff who move heavy and awkward items every day.
- Proper equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets, tools for dismantling.
- Written confirmations, receipts and clear terms.
- Respectful behaviour in shared buildings and towards neighbours.
This reduces the chances of injury, damage and disputes. In many cases, professional help also finishes the job faster than a DIY move.
Insurance & Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised standards in the removals industry.
- Goods in transit insurance protecting your belongings while they are on the move.
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to third-party property.
- Trained moving teams experienced in lifting, carrying, stacking and protecting items.
Details of cover levels are available on request, and we are happy to discuss specific items that may need extra protection or documentation.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every move as if it were our own belongings being transported. That means:
- Using protective blankets, mattress covers and floor protection where needed.
- Securing loads correctly to prevent movement and damage in transit.
- Planning access carefully to avoid avoidable knocks, scrapes or disturbance.
We also aim to work in a more sustainable way by reusing sturdy cartons where practical, offering collection of reusable materials, and maintaining our vehicles properly to reduce emissions and breakdowns. A well-planned move is usually the most efficient – and least wasteful – option.
Real-World Uses for Our Man and Van Camden Service
Moving House or Flat
Perfect for studios and smaller properties, our service covers everything from loading your boxed-up flat to carefully moving that awkward sofa down a narrow staircase. We work efficiently without rushing, keeping both your belongings and the building safe.
Office and Business Relocations
For smaller offices, shops or studios, a man and van team is often the most practical solution. We can move desks, chairs, stock and equipment in stages, outside normal working hours if needed, to minimise disruption.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
When plans change quickly – a last-minute tenancy end, a buyer pushing for completion, or a sudden requirement to clear a property – we do our best to offer same-day or next-day slots. Availability varies, but being local to Camden gives us flexibility to respond quickly where possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and van in Camden cost?
Costs depend on the size of van, number of movers, time required and distance travelled. Smaller local moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while more complex jobs are often priced as a fixed quote. We are always clear about any additional charges such as parking or congestion zone fees. Once we know what needs moving, the addresses and likely access, we provide a straightforward estimate so you can budget with confidence, with no hidden extras added on the day.
Can you offer same-day or urgent man and van services?
Yes, we can often help with same-day or very short-notice moves in Camden, especially for smaller loads. Availability will depend on how busy the schedule is and the time of your call. If we can accommodate you, we will give a clear arrival window and confirm what is realistically achievable within the time available. For urgent moves, it helps if you can send photos or a quick list of items so we can allocate the right van and team immediately.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for your items while they are being moved, and public liability cover for peace of mind in case of accidental damage to third-party property. This is not a replacement for your own home insurance, but an additional layer of protection specific to the move. We can explain cover limits and any exclusions before you book. If you have particularly valuable or fragile items, let us know so we can discuss the best way to protect them.
What is included in your man and van removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable van, a professional driver-mover, and additional movers where required, plus loading, secure transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We provide basic protection for furniture with blankets and straps as standard. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, and dismantling/reassembling simple furniture. Parking arrangements and any related costs are discussed in advance. We always confirm exactly what is and is not included in writing before the move date so expectations are clear.
How is a professional man and van different from a basic removals service?
A man and van is typically more suitable for smaller moves, offering flexibility and lower costs than a full removals crew with a large lorry. However, a professional man and van should still provide the same core standards: insured vehicles, trained staff and proper equipment. Larger home or office moves may be better served by a full removals team. We are happy to advise whether your job is best handled as a man and van service or as a more traditional removals booking, based on size and complexity.
How far in advance should I book?
For planned moves, booking one to two weeks in advance is ideal, especially if you need a specific date or time slot such as a weekend or month-end. However, we understand that not every move is confirmed that early. We always try to accommodate shorter notice where we can, particularly for local Camden jobs. The earlier you contact us, the better the choice of times and the easier it is to arrange parking, surveys and any packing materials you may require.
Removal Van
Removal Van Camden – Professional Local Moving Support
At Man and Van Camden, our removal van service is built around one simple idea: careful, well-organised moves carried out by experienced, professional movers who know Camden inside out. Whether you are moving a single item across town or an entire flat to the other side of London, we provide the right van, the right team and the right planning.
What Our Removal Van Service Includes
This is a fully managed removal service, not just a van with a driver. Every booking includes:
- Suitable removal van sized to your job
- Experienced, trained movers (usually 1–3 team members)
- Loading and unloading of your belongings
- Protective blankets, straps and basic equipment (trolleys, dollies)
- Secure transport with goods in transit insurance
- Placement of items into the correct rooms at your new address
We can also add optional services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and the supply of boxes and packing materials.
Local Removal Van Experts in Camden
Operating solely in and around Camden, we understand the challenges of moving in this part of London: tight streets, controlled parking zones, stairs, basement flats and busy main roads. We plan every move to work smoothly with local restrictions, and we can advise on:
- Parking suspensions and access issues
- Best times of day to move to avoid congestion
- Block rules for flats and managed buildings
Because we are genuinely local, our estimates are realistic, and we are close by if you need a short-notice or urgent removal van in Camden.
Who Our Removal Van Service Is For
Homeowners
From studio flats to family homes, we carry out full house moves with careful handling of furniture, appliances and personal possessions. We can manage everything from packing to final placement.
Renters
End-of-tenancy moves often have tight timelines. We work to your check-out and key handover times, ensuring your belongings are out on schedule and transported safely to your new place or storage.
Landlords
We help landlords clear properties between tenancies, remove old furniture, or move new furnishings in. Discreet, tidy and punctual, we keep disruption to neighbours to a minimum.
Businesses
Our removal vans support small office relocations, shop moves and internal reshuffles. We protect IT equipment, documents and stock, and can work outside normal hours to reduce downtime.
Students
Student moves in and out of halls or shared houses are a big part of what we do in Camden. We offer smaller, cost-effective moves that still benefit from a fully insured, professional removals team.
Items We Commonly Move
Our removal vans are equipped to move most household and office contents, including:
- Domestic furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- Kitchen appliances – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers
- Personal items – boxes, clothes, books, artwork and ornaments
- Office items – desks, filing cabinets, chairs, computers, monitors
- Special care items – mirrors, glass furniture, musical instruments
Items We Cannot Move or Move Only by Arrangement
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or must be discussed in advance:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Illegal items of any kind
- Industrial machinery and oversized commercial equipment
- Very high-value single items without prior declaration and agreement
- Pets and live animals (we recommend specialist pet transport)
- Perishable food for long journeys
If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask – we will confirm whether we can take it and what preparation may be needed.
Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: addresses, property type, number of rooms and any specific items of concern (pianos, large wardrobes, high-value electronics). We provide a clear, no-obligation estimate based on the information you give.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves, we arrange a short video call or onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, parking, stairs and volume accurately. The survey helps us choose the correctly sized removal van and team, and confirm timings.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own items, or we can provide a professional packing service. We supply boxes, tape and wrapping materials if required. On moving day, we protect furniture with blankets and, where needed, disassemble large pieces such as beds and wardrobes.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads the van systematically, using straps and padding to prevent movement in transit. We drive directly to your destination using suitable routes for our vehicle size, always covered by goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new property, we unload into the rooms you specify. If we dismantled any furniture, we can reassemble it by prior agreement. Before we leave, we check that everything has been delivered and placed where you want it.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Vans in Camden
We believe in straightforward pricing, with no hidden extras. Our rates are based on:
- Size of van required
- Number of movers needed
- Estimated duration of the job
- Travel distance and congestion/parking considerations
- Any additional services (packing, dismantling, materials)
For smaller jobs, we often work on a clear hourly rate with a minimum booking period. Larger home or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote, agreed in writing before the job. We always explain what is included, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why Choose a Professional Removal Van Instead of DIY
Hiring a van and doing it yourself can look cheaper on paper, but in practice it often leads to extra time, stress and damage. With our professional removal van service you benefit from:
- Trained movers who know how to lift and protect items correctly
- Proper equipment and protection – blankets, straps, trolleys
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Efficient loading and unloading, saving hours of effort
- Reduced risk of injury from heavy or awkward items
Casual man-and-van operators may not provide adequate insurance or reliable service. By choosing an established company, you gain accountability, clear terms and a team that treats your belongings with respect.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Camden operates to recognised industry standards to protect you and your belongings.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or injury to third parties during the move.
- Trained moving teams – staff are briefed on lifting techniques, packing methods and safe use of equipment.
We provide clear documentation and are happy to outline our cover in detail before you book, so you can move with confidence.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped where needed, fragile items are packed securely, and we pay attention to walls, floors and doorways to avoid scuffs and scrapes. Our teams work steadily rather than rushing, balancing efficiency with care.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. We plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage, encourage the reuse of boxes where safe and practical, and can recommend options for donating unwanted furniture or household items rather than sending them to landfill.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Removal Vans
Moving House Within Camden or Across London
Whether you are moving from a Camden townhouse to a flat in another borough or just a few streets away, we manage the logistics, parking and timing, so you can focus on settling into your new home.
Office and Workspace Relocations
We regularly help small businesses move between offices or co-working spaces. We protect equipment, label items clearly and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends to keep your business running smoothly.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Sometimes moves cannot wait – a last-minute completion date, an urgent tenancy start, or a sudden change of plans. When availability allows, we offer same-day or next-day removal van support in Camden, with the same level of professional care as planned moves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in Camden cost?
Costs depend on the size of van, number of movers and the time required. Smaller moves may be charged on an hourly basis with a clear minimum booking period, while full home or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote after we understand your requirements. Factors such as distance, access, stairs and packing needs all play a part. We always provide a written estimate before you commit, explaining exactly what is included so you can budget confidently.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?
Yes, subject to availability. Because we are based locally in Camden, we can often respond quickly to short-notice requests, including same-day moves. Urgent bookings work best when you can provide clear details early, such as addresses, parking information and a simple list of items. While we cannot guarantee availability for every last-minute enquiry, we will always be honest about what we can do and offer the soonest practical slot if same-day is not possible.
What insurance cover do you provide for my belongings?
All moves are covered by our standard goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and declared values. We also hold public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or injury to third parties during the move. We are happy to explain the limits, exclusions and conditions in advance, and we encourage customers with very high-value items to discuss these with us so we can ensure appropriate arrangements are in place.
What is included in your removal van service as standard?
As standard, you receive a suitable removal van, one or more trained movers, loading and unloading, basic protection (blankets, straps) and transport between the agreed addresses. We place items in the rooms you specify and look after access and handling. Optional extras, such as full packing, supply of cartons and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, or multiple pickup and drop-off points, can be added as required and will be confirmed in your written quote.
How is a professional removal service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van is often just a driver and a vehicle, with limited help, equipment or protection. Our service is a structured removals operation: trained staff, proper planning, protective materials, and insurance as standard. We assess access, choose the right van size, and provide clear terms and pricing. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings. For small or simple moves, a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper, but for most people’s belongings, a professional removal van service offers far better value and peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book a removal van in Camden?
We recommend booking as soon as you know your preferred moving date, particularly for Fridays, weekends and month-end, which are often busiest. For most local moves, one to two weeks’ notice is ideal, while larger house or office relocations may benefit from even more planning time. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter-notice moves when our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more choice of dates and times you will have, and the easier it is to arrange parking and any building access requirements.
Removal Services
Removal Services Camden – Man and Van Camden
Moving in or out of Camden should not be stressful. At Man and Van Camden, we provide straightforward, well-organised removal services tailored to local homes and businesses. With years of hands-on experience across NW1 and the surrounding areas, we handle everything from small flat moves to full office relocations with care, efficiency and clear communication.
Professional Removal Services in Camden
Our Camden removal service is designed to cover every stage of your move, from the first enquiry through to placing furniture in the right rooms at your new address. We combine the flexibility of a local man and van with the systems, standards and insurance of a professional removals company.
Whether you are moving a studio flat, a family home, a student room or a multi-floor office, our local team plans your move around your access, parking and building rules to avoid delays and disruption.
Who Our Camden Removal Service Is For
Homeowners
From period townhouses to new-build apartments, we regularly move Camden homeowners across London and the UK. We can provide full packing, dismantling and reassembly, and careful protection for floors, banisters and doorways to keep both properties in excellent condition.
Renters
Renting in Camden often means tight staircases, shared entrances and strict check-out inventories. We work efficiently to minimise time on site, protect walls and carpets, and help you leave your property in good order for deposit returns.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We assist landlords and agents with part-clearance, end-of-tenancy moves and moving furniture between properties. We can work to short notice, coordinate with tenants and building managers, and provide itemised invoices for your records.
Businesses
From small offices in Camden Town to retail units and studios, our office and commercial removals service minimises downtime. We can move desks, IT equipment, stock and archives, working out of hours or at weekends to keep disruption to your staff and customers to a minimum.
Students
Camden has a large student population, and we regularly help with student moves between halls, house shares and home. We offer cost-effective options for smaller loads, shared moves and term-time storage runs.
What Our Camden Removal Services Include
Typical Items We Move
Our trained team can safely move a wide range of household and commercial items, including:
- Sofas, armchairs, dining tables and chairs
- Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
- Fridges, freezers, washing machines and other appliances (disconnected)
- Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and meeting room furniture
- Computers, monitors, printers and boxed IT equipment
- Boxed clothes, books, kitchenware and personal belongings
- Artwork, mirrors and delicate items with appropriate protection
Items We Generally Cannot Move
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we normally exclude:
- Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
- Livestock and pets
- Illegal or stolen goods
- Large quantities of cash, jewellery or high-value personal documents
- Industrial machinery or equipment requiring specialist handling
If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask during your enquiry and we will advise on the best approach.
Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or online form with basic move details: addresses, property type, dates and an overview of what needs to be moved. We ask a few focused questions to understand access, parking and any fragile or bulky items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we carry out a short survey. This can be virtual (video call, photos or inventory list) or onsite in Camden. The survey allows us to confirm the volume of goods, number of movers, vehicle size, and any special handling (pianos, large wardrobes, tight staircases), so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and professionally pack everything.
- Part packing – for fragile or valuable items only.
- Owner-packed – you pack, and we provide advice and materials if needed.
On the day, we protect furniture with blankets, covers and shrink-wrap as appropriate, and use floor and banister protection where necessary.
4. Loading & Transport
Our team loads systematically, securing items in the vehicle using straps and appropriate stacking to prevent movement in transit. We plan the route in advance, taking into account Camden traffic, road restrictions and any timing rules at either property. All goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it. We can reassemble items we dismantled, position appliances ready for connection, and remove used packing materials where agreed. Before leaving, we ask you to check that everything is in the right place and accounted for.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services in Camden
We price each move based on a clear set of factors: volume of goods, number of movers required, distance between addresses, accessibility (stairs, lifts, parking) and any optional services like packing or storage runs.
Our quotes set out:
- What is included (vehicles, movers, mileage within the agreed route)
- Any optional extras you have chosen
- Possible additional charges (for example waiting time due to delayed keys, congestion/ULTRA charges if applicable)
We do not charge hidden fees. If your requirements change before move day, we simply update the quotation so you know exactly where you stand.
Why Choose Professional Removal Services Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals team in Camden offers several advantages over borrowing a van or using a casual, untrained service:
- Trained, professional staff who understand lifting, loading and protection techniques.
- Specialist equipment such as trolleys, dollies, removal blankets and straps.
- Reduced risk of damage to furniture, property and personal belongings.
- Time savings – what might take you all day can often be completed in half the time.
- Full goods in transit and public liability insurance for peace of mind.
While a basic man-with-a-van can work for very small, low-risk moves, most households and businesses benefit from the structure, reliability and cover that a professional removal service provides.
Insurance & Professional Standards
As a responsible removals company, we maintain appropriate insurance and adhere to professional standards at all times.
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your belongings while they are in our vehicles.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and third parties if accidental damage or injury occurs during the move.
- Trained moving teams – all staff receive practical training in lifting techniques, packing methods and customer care.
We treat your possessions as if they were our own, and we are transparent about cover levels and any limitations, so you can make informed decisions.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We focus on protecting both your belongings and the environment:
- Use of quality blankets, mattress covers and wrapping for delicate items.
- Floor protection and careful route planning within your property to reduce scuffs or scratches.
- Re-use of strong, clean boxes wherever possible to cut waste.
- Recycling of damaged cardboard and minimising single-use plastics where we can.
- Efficient route and load planning to reduce unnecessary journeys and emissions.
Our aim is to complete your move safely while keeping our environmental impact as low as reasonably possible.
Real-World Uses of Our Camden Removal Services
Moving House
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of London, we handle full and part household moves. We regularly work with chain completions, storage moves and long-distance relocations, coordinating timings with your agents and solicitors where needed.
Office and Commercial Relocations
We assist Camden businesses with internal reshuffles, moves to new premises and multi-phase relocations. We can label crates by department, follow desk plans and work outside normal hours to keep staff productive.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Life does not always give much notice. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day removal services for emergency situations, last-minute tenancy changes or quick completions. The more information you can provide up front, the better we can allocate the right team and vehicle at short notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in Camden cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your move, access, distance and whether you need packing or other extras. Smaller flat moves within Camden may be priced on an hourly rate, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. During your enquiry, we gather key information so we can provide a clear, written quotation with no hidden extras. If you have a budget in mind, let us know and we can advise on the most efficient way to structure the move.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removals?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Camden, particularly for smaller loads, student moves or part-house removals. Availability depends on our schedule and the size of the job, so it is best to call us as early as possible. We will ask for photos or a quick inventory to assess what is needed and confirm whether we can fit you in safely. Even at short notice, we maintain the same standards of care, documentation and insurance.
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 we also carry public liability cover for work at your property. Insurance is not a substitute for proper packing and handling, so we still take every precaution to avoid damage. We are happy to explain our cover levels and any exclusions before you book, and to advise whether particularly high-value items may require additional specialist cover.
What is included in your removal service?
Our standard service includes the vehicle, a trained moving team, protective blankets, straps and transport between the agreed addresses. We load and unload your belongings, placing them into the rooms you specify. Optional extras include packing materials, full or part packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and additional pick-ups or drop-offs. Your quotation sets out exactly what is included so there is no confusion on move day, and we are always happy to tailor the service to your specific needs.
How is a professional removal service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van is usually best suited to very small, low-value moves. As a professional removals provider, we offer structured planning, trained staff, appropriate equipment and full insurance. We carry out surveys, provide written quotations, and use methods that minimise the risk of damage to both belongings and property. For most home and office moves, this level of organisation and protection gives far more peace of mind than a basic transport-only service.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
For peak times such as Fridays and month-end, we recommend booking as soon as you have a likely date, ideally two to four weeks in advance. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy start times can change, so we build some flexibility into our planning where possible. If your move is last minute, still get in touch – we often have gaps or can suggest alternative times. Early contact simply gives you more choice of dates and start times.
Storage
Secure Storage in Camden with Man and Van Camden
At Man and Van Camden, we provide safe, flexible storage solutions for households, landlords, students and businesses across Camden and the surrounding areas. Whether you need short-term storage during a move or longer-term space for stock and furniture, our professional, fully insured storage service keeps your belongings protected and accessible.
What Our Camden Storage Service Includes
Our storage service is designed to fit around your move or your everyday life. We collect, store and redeliver your items so you don’t have to hire a van, lift heavy furniture or navigate storage depots on your own.
Key features of our storage service
- Secure, monitored storage facility with restricted access
- Short-term and long-term storage options
- Collection and delivery anywhere in Camden and nearby areas
- Optional professional packing service
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Ideal for house moves, refurbishments, office changes and student storage
Local Storage Expertise in Camden
Working daily in Camden, we understand the realities of narrow streets, limited parking and busy schedules. Our team plans collections and deliveries around local restrictions and peak times to keep everything running smoothly.
From Victorian terraces in Kentish Town to flats near Camden Lock and offices along Euston Road, we’ve handled storage for almost every type of property in the area. That local experience means fewer delays, fewer parking issues and a more efficient service for you.
Who Our Storage Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re moving house, renovating or decluttering, our storage service keeps your furniture, appliances and personal items safe until you need them back. We can collect before building work starts and deliver again once you’re ready to move everything in.
Renters
Between tenancies, relocating for work or downsizing? We provide flexible storage so you don’t have to give up possessions you’ll need later. We’re used to working around check-out times and inventory appointments, so we can schedule collection and delivery to suit your tenancy dates.
Landlords
Landlords often need temporary storage for furniture during refurbishments or while changing between furnished and unfurnished lets. We can remove and store everything, then return selected items when you’re ready, helping protect your assets and keep properties presentable.
Businesses
For businesses in Camden, storage is ideal for excess stock, seasonal items, spare furniture, marketing materials and archived files. We offer regular or one-off collections and can coordinate with your office hours to minimise disruption.
Students
Students at UCL, SOAS, King’s and other London universities use our storage to bridge the gap between term-time and holidays. Store boxes, clothes, books and small furniture over the summer or while you’re on placement, and we’ll deliver them back to your new address when you return.
What You Can Store with Us
Items typically accepted
- Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
- Domestic appliances – washing machines, fridges, cookers (clean and defrosted)
- Boxes of personal belongings, books, clothes and household goods
- Office furniture – desks, chairs, filing cabinets and meeting tables
- Business equipment and non-hazardous stock
- Sports equipment, bicycles and hobby items
Items we cannot store
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, we are unable to store:
- Perishable or open food items
- Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (including gas bottles and paint thinners)
- Illegal goods of any kind
- Living creatures, plants or items that require special environmental conditions
- Cash, jewellery or high-value collections that should be held in specialist facilities
- Unregistered firearms or weapons
If you’re unsure about a particular item, we’ll advise you during the enquiry stage so there are no surprises on collection day.
Step-by-Step: How Our Storage Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with an outline of what you need to store, your location in Camden and your timescales. We’ll ask a few practical questions about access, volume and any large or fragile items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote that explains collection, storage charges and delivery.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger jobs or full-property storage, we may carry out a short video survey or an onsite visit. This helps us estimate the storage volume accurately, plan for access (stairs, lifts, parking) and allocate the right vehicle and team. A proper survey minimises unexpected costs and delays later on.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can either pack your items yourself or choose our professional packing service. If we pack, we use sturdy boxes, furniture blankets and protective wrapping to safeguard your belongings. We label everything clearly so that items can be found easily when you need something back.
4. Loading & Transport
On collection day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and walls where needed and carefully loads your belongings into the van. Everything is secured for transport using straps and blankets to minimise movement and reduce the risk of damage on the journey to our storage facility.
5. Unloading & Storage Placement
At the facility, we unload your goods into a dedicated storage area or clearly marked containers. Items are stacked safely, with heavier pieces at the bottom and fragile boxes on top. When you’re ready, we schedule redelivery and reverse the process – unloading and placing items back into the rooms you specify.
Transparent Storage Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our storage costs are typically based on:
- The volume of items stored (measured in cubic feet or metres)
- The length of time you need storage
- Collection and delivery distance from Camden
- Whether you require packing services or just transport
You’ll receive a written quote explaining exactly what is included: collection, transport, storage, redelivery and any optional packing. If your requirements change – for example, if you extend your storage term – we’ll confirm any price adjustments in advance.
Why Choose Professional Storage Over DIY
Using a professional storage provider like Man and Van Camden offers several advantages over hiring a van and using a self-storage unit on your own:
- We do the lifting – no risk of injury from moving heavy furniture yourself
- Protected transport with goods in transit insurance
- Proper packing and loading techniques that reduce damage
- No need to navigate unfamiliar storage depots or complex access rules
- Time savings – most clients complete the entire process in a single visit
Cheaper, casual man-and-van options might not offer the same level of insurance, planning or care. Our service is structured, documented and backed by clear terms, so you know where you stand.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Our storage and transport services are backed by:
- Goods in transit insurance while we move your items between your property and the storage facility
- Public liability cover for work in and around your home or business
- Trained, experienced moving teams who follow established handling procedures
We maintain detailed inventories when required, and our team is briefed on the specific handling needs of fragile, bulky or high-value items. If you have your own contents or business insurance, we can provide documentation to support any updates to your policy while items are in storage.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to protect both your belongings and the environment. Our approach includes:
- Using reusable furniture blankets and durable crates where appropriate
- Offering recyclable packing materials and taking away used boxes on request
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Training staff to handle items carefully, extending their usable life rather than replacing damaged goods
We also work with local partners to reuse or recycle unwanted items responsibly where clients ask for help disposing of furniture or packaging.
Real-World Storage Use Cases in Camden
Moving House with a Gap Between Dates
Completion dates don’t always line up. Many Camden homeowners use our storage to bridge days or weeks between selling one property and getting the keys to the next. We collect everything on removal day, store it securely, then deliver to your new address as soon as you’re ready.
Office Refurbishment or Relocation
When offices update layouts or relocate within London, temporary storage keeps furniture, IT equipment and archived documents safe while builders and fit-out teams work. We can phase collections and returns to match your project schedule and minimise disruption to staff.
Urgent or Same-Week Storage
Evictions, last-minute tenancy changes and emergency repairs sometimes mean you need storage at very short notice. Subject to availability, we can organise rapid collection and secure storage, then help you plan a calmer, more organised move-out or move-in once the immediate pressure has passed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does storage in Camden cost?
Storage costs depend on how much space you need, how long you need it for and whether you require collection, delivery and packing. We usually calculate a weekly or monthly rate based on the volume of your items, plus a one-off charge for transport. During your enquiry, we’ll ask a few questions or carry out a short survey so we can give you an accurate, written quote. There are no hidden fees, and we’ll clearly explain how the price would change if you extend or reduce your storage period.
Can you offer same-day or urgent storage?
In many cases we can arrange same-day or next-day storage for Camden customers, especially for smaller loads or student storage. Availability depends on existing bookings, vehicle capacity and space at the facility, so it’s best to call as soon as you know you need help. We’ll let you know honestly what we can do within your timeframe and suggest practical alternatives if same-day collection isn’t possible. Even for urgent jobs, we still follow our standard processes to keep your belongings safely packed, listed and stored.
Are my belongings insured while in storage?
Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while we’re moving them between your property and the storage facility. The facility itself is protected with security measures and appropriate cover, and we can explain the scope and any limits of our policy when you book. We always recommend that you also check your own home or business insurance, as some policies can be extended to cover items in storage. We’re happy to provide any documentation your insurer needs regarding our service and location.
What’s included in your storage service?
Our standard storage service includes collection from your Camden address, transport to the storage facility, secure storage for the agreed period and redelivery when you’re ready. On the day, our professional team will load and unload, protecting furniture with blankets and stacking carefully. Optional extras include packing materials, full packing service and help with dismantling and reassembling basic furniture where required. Your quote will clearly list what is and isn’t included, so you can decide whether you want a full service or a more basic option.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a casual man-and-van might move items from A to B, our service is structured specifically for safe storage. We provide trained staff, appropriate insurance, careful packing and secure, monitored facilities rather than just leaving your items in a lock-up. We also take responsibility for planning, inventories where needed and communication throughout the process. That means fewer risks, clearer pricing and a far better level of protection for your belongings, especially for long-term or high-value storage.
How far in advance should I book storage?
For the best choice of dates and smoother planning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. However, we know that storage needs can arise quickly, so we always try to accommodate late bookings where possible. The earlier you contact us with your dates and a rough idea of volume, the more options we can offer and the easier it is to coordinate collections, packing and redelivery around your schedule.
Packing and Boxes
Packing and Boxes in Camden by Man and Van Camden
At Man and Van Camden, our dedicated Packing and Boxes service is designed to take the stress out of any move in Camden and the surrounding areas. As a local removals company with years of hands-on experience, we know that how you pack is just as important as how you move. We provide strong, purpose-made boxes, quality materials, and careful, trained packers to keep your belongings safe from door to door.
What Our Packing and Boxes Service Includes
We offer a complete packing solution tailored to your move. You can choose from:
- Full packing service – we pack everything in your home or office
- Part packing service – we pack only selected or fragile items
- Boxes and materials only – we supply professional-quality boxes and you do the packing
Every service is carried out by professional, Camden-based teams who understand how to protect property in period flats, new-builds, and commercial premises across the borough.
Local Expertise in Camden
Working daily in Camden means we understand the practical challenges of packing for moves in this part of London. Narrow hallways, communal entrances, limited lift access and residents’ parking zones all influence how items need to be boxed and prepared. We plan packing with these local conditions in mind so that moving day runs smoothly and safely.
Whether you are above a shop in Camden Town, in a mansion block near Primrose Hill, or in student halls closer to Euston, our local knowledge helps us choose the right box sizes, packing methods and labelling to suit your building and your move.
Who Our Packing and Boxes Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are selling or buying in Camden, our full or part packing service helps you present your home neatly for completion and ensures your possessions arrive at the new property intact. We handle everything from fragile ornaments to garage tools.
Renters
Tenants moving between flats in Camden often have tight timescales and strict check-out conditions. We pack carefully to avoid damage to fixtures and supply the right boxes to keep your belongings organised for quick moves between furnished or part-furnished properties.
Landlords
For landlords, we offer efficient packing and clearance of contents when tenants have left items behind or when you are refreshing a property. We pack items for storage, disposal, or onward delivery, all clearly labelled for easy management.
Businesses
Offices, retail units and studios in Camden benefit from our commercial packing. We use suitable crates and boxes for files, IT equipment, stock and displays, ensuring minimal downtime and clear labelling so your team can get back to work quickly at the new site.
Students
Students moving into or out of Camden accommodation often need reliable boxes and light packing help. We can supply smaller cartons, wardrobe boxes and bubble wrap, or provide a quick packing service for rooms and shared flats at the end of term.
What We Pack – and What We Don’t
Items Typically Included
- Household items: kitchenware, books, clothing, linens and ornaments
- Furniture disassembled and protected, where agreed
- Electronics and IT: TVs, computers, printers, audio equipment
- Office contents: files, stationery, stock and marketing materials
- Art and mirrors: packed using protective materials and specialist boxes where needed
Items Excluded or By Special Arrangement
- Hazardous materials such as gas bottles, paints, solvents and chemicals
- Perishable food items for longer-distance moves
- High-value jewellery, cash and important personal documents (we recommend you carry these yourself)
- Heavy industrial machinery or items requiring specialist lifting equipment, unless arranged in advance
If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during the survey so everything is clear before packing starts.
Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact Man and Van Camden with your moving details and requirements. We ask about property type, access, volume of goods and your preferred level of packing support. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote describing labour, boxes, materials and any additional services.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most moves we carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess how many boxes you will need, the type of items to be packed, and any fragile or bulky pieces. Accurate surveying means we bring the right materials and enough team members on the day.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed date, our trained packers arrive with all boxes and materials. We protect furniture, carefully wrap fragile items, and pack room by room. Boxes are labelled clearly to match rooms at your new address. If you are self-packing with our materials, we can offer guidance on best practice.
4. Loading & Transport
Once packing is complete, our removals team loads your boxes and furniture onto our vehicles, using blankets, ties and protective coverings. Everything is arranged securely to minimise movement in transit. Our vehicles are covered by goods in transit insurance for added peace of mind.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload room by room, following the labels on each box. We place furniture and cartons where you need them so you can start unpacking in a logical order. If agreed, we can also assist with basic reassembly of furniture.
Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes in Camden
We believe in straightforward pricing. Your quote will typically include:
- Number and type of boxes supplied
- Cost of packing materials – tape, paper, bubble wrap and covers
- Labour for packing (if you choose our full or part packing service)
- Removal and transport charges where we are also carrying out the move
Prices depend on property size, volume of goods, access, and whether packing is full or partial. We explain all charges in advance, with no hidden extras. If you only need boxes and materials, we can provide a separate, simple price list.
Why Use Professional Packers Instead of Doing It Yourself?
While it is possible to pack yourself using supermarket boxes, professional packing offers several advantages:
- Proper materials – double-walled boxes and specialist cartons protect items far better than reused packaging
- Efficient packing – experienced teams pack faster and make better use of space, often reducing the number of loads
- Reduced risk of damage – correct wrapping and box stacking helps prevent breakages in transit
- Less disruption – you can focus on work, family and paperwork while we handle the physical preparation
Using a casual man-and-van without proper packing experience or materials can save money in the short term but often leads to breakages, delays, and disputes. Our professional approach is designed to be reliable and accountable.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Man and Van Camden operates to recognised removals standards. We are:
- Fully insured with goods in transit cover for your belongings while they are on our vehicles
- Protected by public liability insurance for work carried out on your premises
- Staffed by trained packing and moving teams who follow safe handling and lifting practices
We document your service clearly, confirm dates and times in writing, and keep communication open throughout the move so you always know what to expect.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. Fragile pieces are wrapped individually, boxes are not overloaded, and furniture is protected with covers and blankets. We also work to reduce waste wherever possible by:
- Using high-quality boxes that can be reused multiple times
- Offering box collection and reuse where practical
- Choosing recyclable materials such as paper-based wrapping over plastic where suitable
Our aim is to combine careful handling with a more sustainable approach to packing and materials.
Real-World Uses of Our Packing and Boxes Service
Moving House in Camden
From studio flats to family homes, our packing service helps you move with minimal disruption. We can pack the day before the move or in phases to suit your schedule, keeping essential items accessible until the last moment.
Office and Business Relocations
For offices and shops, we plan packing around your trading hours to reduce downtime. Files, IT equipment and stock are packed methodically, with clear labelling so your staff can resume work quickly at the new location.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
When time is tight, our team can step in quickly with same-day or next-day packing support where availability allows. We bring all necessary boxes and materials so you are not delayed by sourcing packaging at the last minute.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does your packing and boxes service in Camden cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, how much you need to move, and whether you choose full or part packing. For some customers, we simply supply boxes and materials at a set rate per carton or bundle. For full packing, we combine labour and materials into a clear, itemised quote. After a brief survey, we will confirm a fixed price so you know exactly what you will pay before you commit, with no hidden extras added on moving day.
Can you provide same-day or urgent packing in Camden?
Where our schedule allows, we can offer same-day or short-notice packing and boxes in Camden. This is particularly useful for tenants with last-minute move-out dates or urgent relocations. Availability depends on how many teams we have free and the size of your property. If you need fast support, contact us as early as possible with details of your move, and we will let you know what level of urgent service we can provide and how quickly we can supply boxes and packers.
Are my belongings insured while being packed and moved?
Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported on our vehicles, and our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to property during our work. Insurance is not a substitute for careful packing, so our trained teams also follow best-practice methods to minimise any risk of damage in the first place. We can explain the key terms of our cover before you book and advise you if you have unusually valuable or delicate items.
What exactly is included in your packing and boxes service?
Our service can be tailored, but typically includes professional-grade boxes, tape, wrapping materials, and the labour to pack your belongings safely. For a full pack, we handle the majority of items in your home or office, label boxes by room, and prepare furniture with protective covers. For part packing, we focus on fragile, heavy or complex items while you handle the simpler contents. We can also provide boxes and materials only, along with guidance, if you prefer to do your own packing.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van usually provides transport and lifting only, often without proper packing skills, materials or insurance. Our service combines professional packing, high-quality boxes, organised labelling and fully insured removals. We carry out surveys, plan around access and timings, and use trained staff who understand how to protect your belongings. This reduces the risk of breakages, delays and disagreements, and gives you a single, accountable team handling your move from packing to final placement.
How far in advance should I book packing and boxes in Camden?
For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks before your move, especially if you are moving at the end of the month or during busy periods. However, we understand that moves are not always planned that far ahead. If your timescale is shorter, contact us as soon as you know your moving date. We will check availability and do our best to allocate a packing team and supply boxes in time for your schedule.

At Man and Van Camden, we provide organised, efficient and professional office removals across Camden and the surrounding areas.

Office moves need more than just a van and a couple of pairs of hands. They require planning, coordination and an understanding of how businesses operate. Our Camden-based crews carry out office removals daily, so we know the buildings, the parking restrictions, and the best routes to keep your move on schedule.
We work around your business hours, offering evening and weekend moves where required, to help you maintain continuity. From initial planning to final workstation placement, everything is managed by a dedicated move coordinator who acts as your single point of contact.
Who Our Office Removal Service Is For
Our service is designed for a wide range of clients in and around Camden:
Homeowners Working From Home
If you’re relocating your home office, studio or workshop, we’ll make sure your IT, files and specialist equipment are moved safely, so you can get back to work quickly.
Renters and Shared Offices
Moving between rented offices, co-working spaces or serviced offices? We handle shared facilities respectfully, coordinate with building management and ensure common areas are protected.
Landlords and Managing Agents
We assist landlords and agents with clearing outgoing tenants’ office furniture, setting up new workspaces, and managing end-of-lease dilapidation moves efficiently and reliably.
Businesses of All Sizes
From single-room practices to multi-department companies, we manage business relocations with structured planning, clear labelling systems and detailed move schedules.
Students and Startups
We support students and early-stage startups moving between university spaces, incubators and first offices, with clear, transparent pricing that suits smaller budgets.
What’s Included in Our Office Removals Service
We tailor each move, but typically our office removals in Camden include:
- Desks, chairs, meeting tables and reception furniture
- Filing cabinets, storage units and shelving (including dismantling/reassembly where needed)
- Desktop computers, monitors, printers and standard IT equipment
- Office kitchen appliances (kettles, microwaves, fridges – subject to condition and cleanliness)
- Archives, files and boxed documentation
- Whiteboards, noticeboards and light display items
Items We Cannot Move
For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we generally cannot transport as part of an office move:
- Hazardous or flammable materials (fuel, chemicals, gas bottles)
- Industrial machinery requiring specialist lifting or decommissioning
- Large safes beyond safe manual handling limits without specialist kit
- Live animals or plants as part of an office environment
- Cash, high-value jewellery or sensitive personal data that should be hand-carried
If you’re unsure about a particular item, ask us during your survey and we’ll advise or recommend a specialist where needed.
Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with your basic move details: current and new addresses, rough inventory, dates and any time restrictions. We’ll discuss your requirements, answer initial questions and provide a clear, no-obligation estimate. For straightforward smaller moves, we can often quote from information and photos alone.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most office removals in Camden, we recommend a pre-move survey. This can be a virtual video walk-through or an onsite visit. We assess access, parking, lifts, staircases, and the volume and type of items. We’ll also discuss IT requirements, packing preferences, and any specialist items. Following the survey, we confirm a detailed written quotation and outline schedule.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the lead-up to move day, we can supply professional packing materials and crates, or provide a full packing service. Our teams carefully pack monitors, peripherals and office contents, label boxes clearly by department or room, and dismantle furniture as agreed. We protect doors, floors and communal areas where required, liaising with building management if needed.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained crew arrives on time, walks through the plan with you and begins systematic loading. Each item is handled with care, using protective covers, straps and blankets. We load according to your new layout so that priority departments and IT can be unloaded first. Vehicles are well-maintained, clean and equipped for safe business moves across Camden and beyond.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new premises, we place desks, chairs and storage exactly where you need them, following agreed floor plans where provided. We reassemble furniture we dismantled, position IT equipment ready for your technicians, and collect used crates and packing materials by arrangement. Before we leave, we check that key areas are set up so you can restart operations as smoothly as possible.
Transparent Office Removals Pricing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our Camden office removal quotes are based on:
- Volume and type of items
- Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to vehicle, parking)
- Distance between locations
- Level of packing and dismantling required
- Day of the week and out-of-hours work (evenings/weekends)
We offer both fixed-price moves and competitive hourly rates for smaller or more flexible jobs. All costs, including any parking or congestion charges that apply, are discussed and agreed in advance so you can budget with confidence.
Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY
Trying to manage an office move yourself or with a casual man-and-van can quickly become stressful and risky. Professional office removals offer:
- Trained crews who understand safe handling of IT equipment and furniture
- Efficient planning that reduces downtime for your business
- Appropriate vehicles, trolleys and protective materials
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Clear accountability and a structured plan if anything unexpected occurs
A basic man-and-van service may be fine for a few personal items, but for business-critical equipment, data and staff productivity, using an experienced, professional removals company is the safer and often more cost-effective choice.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your equipment and business assets are important. Man and Van Camden operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect items while being moved
- Public liability cover for work in offices, communal areas and public spaces
- Trained moving teams experienced in office environments
Our crews follow best practice for manual handling, load security and building protection. We maintain clear records, provide written documentation and work in line with relevant UK regulations and industry standards.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your premises and belongings with the same respect as our own. Floors, walls and lifts are protected where necessary, and items are wrapped or covered to reduce the risk of scuffs and damage. We use reusable crates and durable protective materials wherever possible to cut down on waste. Cardboard and other disposables are recycled responsibly, and we plan routes efficiently to minimise unnecessary mileage and emissions.
Real-World Office Removal Scenarios We Handle
Full Office Relocation
Moving an entire office to a new building, including all furniture, IT and archives. We plan multi-phase moves so departments can remain functional for as long as possible and get back online quickly at the new site.
Internal Reorganisation
Reconfiguring your existing space, moving departments between floors or buildings, and rearranging furniture for refurbishments or new layouts. Often done outside business hours to avoid disruption.
Hybrid and Downsizing Moves
Helping companies adapt to hybrid working by downsizing to smaller premises, moving part of the operation offsite, or setting up hot-desking areas. We can move surplus items into storage if required.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
When leases end unexpectedly or urgent works are required, we can often provide fast-response office removals in Camden, subject to availability. We focus on prioritising critical equipment and ensuring a safe, orderly move under time pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do office removals in Camden cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and equipment, access at both properties and the distance between locations. Smaller office moves may be charged at a competitive hourly rate, while larger or more complex relocations are usually priced as a fixed quote after a survey. We always provide a written estimate before you commit, clearly outlining what is included. This way you can compare options and budget accurately, without worrying about unexpected extras on the day.
Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?
We can often assist with same-day or short-notice office removals in Camden, depending on our schedule and the scale of your move. For smaller offices or partial moves, we may be able to organise a crew and vehicle at short notice. For larger or multi-floor moves, more planning time is usually required. If you have an urgent situation, contact us as soon as possible with your details; we’ll be honest about what can realistically be achieved and prioritise critical items and departments.
Are my office items insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance that covers your office furniture and standard equipment while they are being moved, subject to policy terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover for work in office buildings and shared areas. During your booking, we’ll explain the scope of cover and any exclusions, such as cash or certain high-value items. If you have especially valuable specialist equipment, we may recommend additional cover or specific arrangements to ensure everything is fully protected.
What’s included in your office removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of agreed items, plus basic protection of furniture and premises. We can also provide dismantling and reassembly of desks and storage, supply of crates and packing materials, and a full or partial packing service. Placement of items in specific rooms or departments is included as standard. Additional services, such as storage or disposal of unwanted furniture, can be arranged on request. Everything we will do for you is itemised in your written quote so you know exactly what to expect.
How is a professional office removal different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service typically provides transport and some lifting, but often without surveys, planning, specialist equipment or formal insurance suitable for business moves. A professional office removals service like ours includes pre-move assessment, trained crews, protective materials, goods in transit insurance, public liability cover and structured coordination. We understand how to handle IT equipment, confidential archives and shared office buildings. This reduces the risk of damage, downtime and disputes with landlords or building management, ultimately saving you time, stress and potential additional costs.
How far in advance should I book an office removal?
For small to medium offices, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific date or weekend move. Larger or multi-phase relocations may require several weeks or months of planning to coordinate properly with your team, landlords and IT providers. That said, we’ll always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we have to structure the move around your preferred dates and minimise disruption to your business.

Who Our Man with a Van Camden Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you are moving from or to a smaller property, clearing a garage, or transporting a few larger items between homes. We can work alongside your main removals team or handle the entire move for compact properties.
Renters
Perfect for tenants moving in or out of Camden flats and houses. We are used to narrow stairwells, top-floor walk-ups and tight time slots between tenancies, and we ensure your landlord’s property is protected throughout.
Landlords
We regularly help landlords remove or deliver furniture and appliances, clear between-tenant belongings and support light refurbishment projects. Flexible booking and reliable timekeeping mean you can plan clean-ups and inventories with confidence.
Businesses
Our man with a van service is a cost-effective option for small office moves, internal reshuffles, archive moves and equipment deliveries. We work carefully around your staff and can operate outside normal hours to reduce disruption.

Our Step-by-Step Man with a Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with details of your move: addresses, approximate inventory, dates and access information. We ask a few focused questions so we can recommend the right size van, number of movers and time needed. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex moves, we may suggest a short video call or an onsite visit. This allows us to check access (lifts, stairwells, parking), assess bulky items and confirm timings. Accurate surveying reduces the risk of surprises on the day and helps keep costs fair.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes, or we can provide a packing service at an agreed additional cost. We can also supply quality packing materials in advance. On moving day we protect key items with blankets, covers and wraps, and we can disassemble simple furniture (such as bed frames) where needed.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained team loads your belongings in a logical, secure order, using trolleys, sliders and straps to protect both items and property. Everything is secured in the van to prevent movement during transit. We then drive directly to your new address, using efficient routes and obeying all local parking and loading regulations.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We work carefully around walls, floors and staircases. At the end, we invite you to walk round and check that everything has been moved as agreed before we leave.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our man with a van jobs are usually priced either:
- By the hour, with a minimum booking period
- Or as a fixed price for clearly defined moves
The price depends on:
- Distance between properties
- Volume and type of items
- Number of movers required
- Access conditions (stairs, lift, long carries, parking)
- Any additional services such as packing or dismantling
All likely charges, including congestion charges or parking costs where applicable, are explained in advance so you know exactly what to expect.
Why Choose Professional Movers Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Hiring a friend with a van or a casual operator might seem cheaper, but it often costs more in time, damage and stress. With Man and Van Camden you benefit from:
- Trained staff who know how to lift, manoeuvre and protect items safely
- Proper tools and protective materials to prevent damage
- Reliable timekeeping – we turn up when we say we will
- Fully insured cover, giving you financial protection
- Clear communication and a structured process from start to finish
For most people, moving is infrequent and disruptive. Our role is to take the pressure off you and complete the job efficiently, with minimal risk to your belongings or your property.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a professional removals operator, we maintain appropriate insurance and operating standards:
- Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our care and being transported
- Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to property or third parties
- Trained and vetted staff with experience in domestic and commercial moves
- Well-maintained vehicles equipped for removals work
- Health and safety awareness, including correct lifting techniques and use of equipment
We are happy to confirm insurance details on request, so you can book with confidence.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every move as if we were looking after our own belongings. That means:
- Using clean blankets, covers and wraps to protect furniture and soft furnishings
- Taking care with walls, doors, banisters and flooring
- Planning lifts and carries to avoid unnecessary risk
We also consider the environmental impact of our work. Where possible, we:
- Plan routes to reduce mileage and idle time
- Encourage reuse of boxes and materials
- Offer to take unwanted items to appropriate recycling or donation points, by arrangement
Our aim is a smooth move that respects your belongings, your property and the wider environment.
Real-World Ways People Use Our Man with a Van Camden Service
Moving House or Flat
For smaller homes and flats, a man with a van is often all you need. We regularly move one- and two-bedroom properties in a single run, keeping costs and disruption down while still providing a careful, organised service.
Office and Business Relocations
From moving a few desks between floors to relocating a small office within Camden, our vans and teams are well suited to business moves. We can schedule work outside standard hours and coordinate with your IT or facilities teams.
Urgent and Same-Day Moves
Last-minute tenancy changes, urgent landlord requests or unexpected changes of plan do happen. Where availability allows, we can provide same-day or next-day man with a van support, giving you a reliable solution when time is tight.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man with a van in Camden cost?
Costs vary depending on distance, volume, access and how many movers you need. Smaller local jobs are often charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, while more defined moves can be quoted at a fixed price. Extras such as packing, furniture dismantling or additional drops will affect the final cost, as can congestion or parking charges. Once we understand your requirements, we provide a clear, itemised quotation so you know exactly what you will pay before you book.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man with a van services?
Yes, subject to availability. We keep some flexibility in our schedule to accommodate urgent or last-minute jobs within Camden and nearby areas. If you need same-day support, it is best to call us as early as possible with full details of what needs moving and both addresses. We will confirm whether we can help, the likely timeslot and the cost. Even on urgent moves we follow the same careful loading and protection standards as on planned jobs.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our vehicle and under our control, as well as public liability cover for accidental damage to buildings or third parties. Insurance is designed to work alongside sensible packing and proper handling rather than replace it, so we still take every practical precaution to avoid damage. If you have particularly high-value or fragile items, let us know in advance so we can advise on packing and any specific conditions.
What is included in your man with a van removals service?
Our standard service includes a suitable van, a professional driver–mover (or a larger team if required), loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We supply moving blankets and securing straps as standard. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and disposal or recycling runs by prior agreement. We always clarify what is and is not included in your quote so you can compare options and decide exactly what level of help you want.
What is the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van is often just a driver with a vehicle, working on an informal basis. Our service is a professional removals operation: trained staff, appropriate insurance, proper equipment and a structured process. We focus on protecting your belongings and property, working to agreed timings, and communicating clearly throughout. While our prices remain competitive, the level of care, reliability and accountability is closer to a full removals company than a casual transport option.
How far in advance should I book?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially for weekends, month-end dates and busy times of year such as summer and university changeovers. This gives us the best chance of offering your preferred time and ensures we can allocate the right team and vehicle. That said, we do handle short-notice moves whenever our schedule allows, so it is always worth contacting us even if your dates are very close.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with basic details: current and new addresses, property size, key dates and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation quote. We are clear about what is included so you can compare us fairly with other removal companies.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a small move, we recommend a survey. This can be a video call walk-through or an onsite visit in Camden. We assess access, parking, volume of belongings, and any fragile or awkward items. This allows us to confirm the price and plan the right size vehicle and team.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything
- Part packing – we pack fragile or bulky items only
- Self-packing – you pack, we provide boxes and advice if required
We use quality packing materials and techniques to protect your belongings, with particular care for glass, artwork and electronics.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and surfaces where needed, and begins loading systematically. Items are secured in the vehicle using straps and blankets to minimise movement in transit. We plan our routes around Camden traffic and access restrictions to keep your move on schedule.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify. If agreed in advance, we can reassemble furniture and place larger items where you want them. Before leaving, we carry out a quick walk-through with you to check that everything has been delivered as expected.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of goods to be moved
- Access and distance between properties
- Number of movers and vehicles required
- Level of packing service and materials needed
- Any additional services, such as storage or furniture assembly
We provide fixed-price quotes for clearly defined jobs, so you know exactly what you are paying. For smaller, flexible moves, we may offer a fair hourly rate with clear minimum charges. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs (such as congestion or parking charges) are discussed in advance.
Why Choose a Professional Removal Company Instead of DIY
Moving yourself or using a casual man-and-van service can appear cheaper at first glance, but often costs more in time, stress and damage. As a professional removals company, we bring:
- Trained moving teams skilled in lifting, packing and loading
- Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Reliable, punctual service with written confirmations
- Clear processes that reduce the risk of breakages or injury
For many customers, the peace of mind and reduced physical effort easily justify the modest difference in cost compared with doing it themselves.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Our service includes:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are being moved
- Public liability insurance for work in and around your properties
- Trained moving teams who follow safe handling and lifting practices
We work to professional standards for inventory, packing and vehicle loading. Any specific concerns about high-value or delicate items can be discussed in advance so we can put the right protection in place.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care of your belongings, your property and the wider environment:
- Use of padded blankets, mattress covers and floor protection where needed
- Careful planning to minimise the number of trips and fuel usage
- Re-use of good-quality cartons and recycling of worn materials where possible
- Considerate working practices in shared buildings and residential streets
Our aim is to move you efficiently while causing as little disruption and waste as possible.
Real-World Use Cases in Camden
Moving House Within Camden
Many of our clients move from one part of Camden to another, often between flats with stair-only access and limited parking. We plan ahead, liaise on parking and keep neighbours informed where appropriate to make the day run smoothly.
Office Relocation
For small offices and studios, we can move desks, IT and files outside of core working hours. We label and position items carefully at the new site so your team can get back to work quickly.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Occasionally, tenants or businesses need to move at short notice due to unexpected changes. Where our schedule allows, we offer flexible, urgent removals within Camden, focusing on essential items first and planning follow-up trips if required.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal service in Camden cost?
The cost depends mainly on the volume of belongings, access at each property, distance travelled and the level of service you require. A small flat move within Camden will usually be at the lower end, while a larger family home or office relocation will cost more due to the extra time, staff and vehicle capacity. We provide clear, itemised quotes after discussing your needs or carrying out a survey, so you know exactly what is included before you commit.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves, particularly within Camden, but it depends on our existing bookings and the scale of your move. Smaller moves and student relocations are usually easier to fit in at short notice than large house moves. If you need urgent help, contact us as early as possible with full details. We will be honest about what we can achieve safely and may suggest phased moves if everything cannot be completed in one visit.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being transported, and public liability cover for work on your premises. This cover is designed for normal removals activities and assumes items are properly packed and declared. Very high-value or unusual items should always be discussed with us in advance, as they may require additional precautions or specific limitations. We are happy to explain exactly what is covered so you can make an informed decision.
What is included in your removals service as standard?
As standard, we provide a vehicle of suitable size, a trained team of movers, loading and unloading of your belongings, travel between properties and basic protective equipment such as blankets and straps. We place items into the rooms you specify and can carry out simple furniture reassembly if agreed when booking. Optional extras include packing services, supply of packing materials and storage arrangements. All inclusions and any optional services are clearly listed in your written quotation.
How is a professional removal company different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may be fine for very small, low-risk jobs, but a professional removal company offers structured service and protection. We provide trained staff, appropriate insurance, risk assessment, proper packing and loading methods, and reliable scheduling. Our vehicles are equipped for removals, not just transport. This reduces the risk of damage, injury and delays. For most home and office moves, the additional cost compared with a basic man-and-van is modest and is usually outweighed by the added safety and peace of mind.
How far in advance should I book my removal in Camden?
Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you plan to move at month-end, during school holidays or at weekends when demand is highest. For most standard moves, one to three weeks’ notice allows time for a survey, planning and packing arrangements. However, we will always try to help with shorter notice where our schedule allows. The more notice you give, the more flexibility we have in terms of dates and times.
