Local Colliers Wood Expertise

We know Colliers Wood inside out – from the residential streets around Cavendish Road and Park Road to the busy stretches near the High Street, Tandem Centre and tube station. That local knowledge means:

• Smarter route planning to avoid congestion where possible
• Realistic loading and parking plans for tight streets
• Experience with flats, lifts and restricted access properties
• Reliable ETAs and sensible scheduling for your move

Because we work in the area every day, we understand building layouts, loading bays and local parking restrictions, which helps keep your move smooth and on time.

Who Our Man with Van Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are moving into or out of a house in Colliers Wood, our man with van team can handle partial moves, smaller homes, or runs to storage. We regularly help with moves between Colliers Wood and nearby areas such as Wimbledon, Tooting, Mitcham and Morden.

Renters

From studio flats to shared houses, renters often only need a small removals service. We can move you in one or two van loads, helping with disassembly and reassembly of beds and basic furniture where required.

Landlords

Landlords use our service to clear or re‑furnish properties between tenancies. We can remove old furniture, deliver replacement items and move appliances, all handled by professional movers who respect your property and neighbours.

Businesses

Local businesses in Colliers Wood rely on us for light office moves, archive moves and small deliveries. We can relocate desks, chairs, computers and boxed files, keeping downtime to a minimum and working outside office hours where needed.

Students

Students moving to or from halls or shared accommodation benefit from our simple, cost‑effective man with van service. We move boxes, suitcases, bikes, and a few pieces of furniture between Colliers Wood and universities across London.

Items Typically Included

• Boxes, bags and suitcases

Our Step‑by‑Step Man with Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online form with a brief description of what you are moving, where from and to, and your preferred date. We will ask a few questions about access, floor levels and any heavy items. Based on this, we provide a clear quotation, usually the same day.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger moves or properties with tricky access, we recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess parking, staircases, lifts and item volumes accurately. A proper survey keeps costs predictable and reduces the risk of delays on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose to pack yourself or opt for our packing service. If you pack, we can supply quality boxes, tape and wrapping. On the day, our team will protect furniture with blankets and covers, and we can dismantle basic items such as bed frames and tables when agreed in advance.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team loads the van systematically, securing everything with straps and using trolleys where possible to reduce carrying distances. We then transport your belongings directly to your new address, keeping you updated on timings throughout the journey.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, not just the front door. We place furniture where you want it and can reassemble previously dismantled items by arrangement. Before we leave, we do a final check with you to ensure everything is where it needs to be.

Transparent Pricing – How We Charge

We keep our pricing straightforward and honest. For most man with van jobs in Colliers Wood we offer:

• Hourly rates for smaller, local moves
• Fixed prices for clearly defined moves and distances

Your quote will state:

• Number of movers and size of van
• What is included (e.g. loading, travel time, basic dismantling)
• Any additional options such as packing or extra stops

There are no hidden extras either – if parking charges or congestion zones apply, we explain these in advance so you know the full cost before you book.

Why Choose Professional Movers Over DIY or Casual Man & Van

Using friends or an unregulated man-and-van can seem cheaper but often leads to damage, delays and stress. With Colliers Wood Movers you benefit from:

• Professional handling techniques that protect your belongings and your property
• Reliable timekeeping and confirmed bookings
• Fully insured cover if something goes wrong
• Correct equipment to move items safely
• Teams who move people every day and know how to plan efficiently

When you factor in van hire, fuel, parking, lost time and potential damage, a proper man with van service often represents the best overall value.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. Colliers Wood Movers operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are on the move
• Public liability cover for peace of mind in and around your property
• Trained moving teams who follow safe lifting and loading practices

We record key details of every move, maintain our vehicles carefully and review our methods regularly. This professional approach keeps standards high and incidents rare.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Looking after your belongings starts the moment we arrive. We use furniture blankets, mattress covers and floor protection where necessary. Items are stacked carefully and secured in transit to minimise movement.

We also work to reduce our environmental impact by:

• Reusing strong cartons and protective materials where appropriate
• Planning routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Encouraging customers to recycle or donate unwanted items rather than binning them

Our goal is to move you safely while being mindful of both your property and the environment.

Smaller offices and shops use our service to move equipment, stock and furniture. We can work early mornings, evenings or weekends to reduce disruption to your business and your customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man with van in Colliers Wood cost?

Pricing depends on how much you are moving, access at each address and the distance travelled. Smaller local moves are usually charged by the hour with a minimum booking period, while larger or longer‑distance moves are often fixed price. To give an accurate figure we will ask about item lists, floors, lifts and parking. Once we have this information, we provide a clear quotation with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what your move will cost before you commit.

Can you provide same‑day or urgent man with van services?

Yes, we can often help with same‑day or short‑notice moves in Colliers Wood, depending on availability. If you need urgent assistance, contact us as early as you can with details of what needs moving and your time window. We will check our schedule and let you know what is realistically possible. Even at short notice, we keep our standards the same – a professional team, a properly equipped van and clear pricing agreed before we set off.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to standard terms and conditions. We also carry public liability cover, which protects against damage to property or third parties during the move. This is one of the key differences between using an established removals company and an informal man-and-van. If you have particularly high‑value items, let us know in advance so we can confirm cover levels and discuss any extra protection required.

What is included in your man with van service?

Our standard service includes a van, driver and at least one trained mover to help with loading and unloading. We supply blankets and straps to protect and secure your belongings, and we place items into the rooms you specify at your new address. Basic dismantling and reassembly of straightforward items can be included by agreement. Optional extras include packing services, packing materials and additional movers. Your quote will list exactly what is included so there is no confusion on the day.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

Many basic man-and-van operators simply offer transport, often without formal training or insurance. Colliers Wood Movers provides a professional removals service: trained staff, planned loading, proper equipment and fully insured cover. We survey larger moves, confirm bookings in writing and turn up on time with the right size van and crew. The result is a safer, more efficient move, with far less risk of damage to your belongings or your property, and clear accountability if anything does go wrong.

How far in advance should I book?

For weekend or month‑end moves in Colliers Wood, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and bank holidays. For off‑peak days and smaller jobs, we can often accommodate bookings with just a few days’ notice, and sometimes same‑day. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we have on times and pricing. Once booked, your slot is reserved and we will reconfirm details with you before moving day.
