Man and Van
Man and Van Haringey – Local, Professional Moving by Haringey Movers
Haringey Movers provides a reliable, fully managed man and van service across Haringey and the surrounding North London areas. Run by experienced local movers, our service is designed for people who want more care, planning and protection than a casual van hire, without the cost of a large-scale removals crew.
What Our Man and Van Service Includes
Our man and van option is a flexible, scalable moving service delivered by trained, uniformed staff using well-maintained, equipped vehicles. It is ideal for small to medium moves, single-item transport, and urgent collections.
Core Service Variations
- Small flat and studio moves within Haringey and across London
- Student moves to and from halls or shared houses
- Single item and bulky item moves (sofas, wardrobes, white goods)
- Light office moves for small businesses and start-ups
- Store collections and deliveries (IKEA, B&Q, Facebook Marketplace, eBay)
- Urgent and same-day man and van, subject to availability
Every move is handled by a professional team who treat your belongings with the same care as a full-scale home removal.
Local Expertise in Haringey
As a Haringey-based company, we know the borough’s streets, estates and parking restrictions inside out. From Victorian terraces in Crouch End to tower blocks in Wood Green and shared houses in Turnpike Lane, we plan your move around local access issues, loading bays and traffic patterns.
This local knowledge helps us:
- Choose the right size vehicle for narrow roads and tight entrances
- Allow realistic time for traffic hotspots like Green Lanes and the A10
- Advise on parking suspensions and permits where needed
- Schedule moves to avoid school runs and rush-hour congestion
The result is a smoother, more predictable moving day with fewer surprises.
Who Our Man and Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Perfect for smaller house moves, single-room clearances, or moving items into storage. We regularly help homeowners with partial moves during renovations, decluttering before sale, or downsizing within Haringey.
Renters
Ideal for tenants moving between rented flats and houses. We understand tight timeframes between tenancies, lift bookings, and the importance of leaving properties clean and undamaged for deposit returns.
Landlords
Our man and van teams assist landlords with furniture moves, end-of-tenancy clearances and delivery of replacement items. We can work to short notice after check-outs or inspections.
Businesses
Small offices, shops and self-employed professionals use us for light relocations, equipment moves and regular deliveries. We handle computers, files and stock with organised loading and labelling to minimise downtime.
Students
Students moving to or from Haringey benefit from our affordable, compact moves. We can combine collection from multiple housemates, and we’re used to stairs, no lifts and awkward parking around halls and shared houses.

Our Step-by-Step Man and Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or online form with details of your move: addresses, access, inventory, and preferred date. We ask clear questions so we can recommend the right team size and vehicle. Based on this information we provide a transparent, no-obligation quotation, usually the same day.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most man and van jobs a detailed phone or virtual survey is sufficient. For more complex moves, tight access, or unusual items we may suggest an onsite visit. The survey ensures we send adequate manpower, plan parking, and identify any dismantling or extra protection that may be required.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack yourself, or add our packing service. If you pack, we provide guidance on box sizes, labelling and protecting fragile items. If we pack, our trained team supplies materials and packs room by room, using suitable wrapping for glass, artwork, electronics and delicate items.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, we arrive at the agreed time, carry out a quick walk-through, and protect key items with covers and blankets. Everything is loaded systematically to maximise space and minimise movement in transit. Our vehicles are equipped with straps, trolleys and protective materials. Your goods are then transported directly to the destination using efficient routes through Haringey and beyond.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it. We can reassemble basic items we dismantled by prior arrangement. Before leaving, we invite you to walk through and confirm that everything is in the correct location and that you are satisfied with the job.
Transparent Pricing Explained
Our man and van work is usually priced on an hourly basis with a minimum booking period, or as a fixed price for clearly defined moves. The rate depends on:
- Number of movers required
- Vehicle size
- Day and time (weekdays vs weekends/evenings)
- Distance between properties
- Additional services such as packing or dismantling
All costs are explained in advance. There are no hidden charges for stairs or fuel within our agreed service area; any potential extras (such as congestion zone, parking charges or extended waiting time) are clearly set out in our quotation so you know exactly what to expect.
Why Choose Professional Man and Van Over DIY
Hiring a casual van or asking friends may seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, delays and stress. With Haringey Movers you benefit from:
- Trained movers who know how to lift safely and protect items
- Proper equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps and protective covers
- Fully insured transport for your belongings
- Accurate time estimates and structured planning
- Accountability – we turn up when we say we will and complete the job properly
Professional man and van is particularly important in Haringey where parking, stairs and access can easily turn a “quick DIY job” into an exhausting and risky ordeal.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your belongings and for the properties we work in. Haringey Movers operates with:
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to buildings or third parties
- Trained moving teams – staff are properly inducted, supervised and experienced
We follow clear procedures for handling fragile, high-value and bulky items, and we log any pre-existing damage so that everything remains transparent. Our aim is to provide a consistently professional standard of service on every job, large or small.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every move as if it were our own. That means using padded furniture covers, mattress protectors, floor protection where necessary, and safe stacking inside the van. We handle goods with care, not speed alone.
We also take a mindful approach to sustainability:
- Reusing and recycling cartons where appropriate
- Offering reusable crates for certain business moves
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage
- Encouraging clients to donate unwanted items to local charities rather than dispose of them
This approach reduces waste and keeps your move as efficient and environmentally responsible as reasonably possible.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Man and Van in Haringey
Moving House or Flat
Typical for one- and two-bedroom flats, our team manages everything from careful loading of your furniture to placing it in the correct rooms in your new home. We work around lift bookings and building rules, and keep disruption to neighbours to a minimum.
Office and Small Business Relocations
For small Haringey offices, studios and shops, we can move desks, IT equipment, stock and files with organised labelling so that you can get back to work quickly. We’re used to working outside normal hours to limit downtime.
Urgent or Same-Day Moves
Life doesn’t always give much notice. Where our schedule allows, we provide same-day man and van assistance for urgent moves, last-minute tenancy changes or rapid collections. Contact us as early as possible and we will confirm availability and realistic timings.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a man and van service in Haringey cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of the team, the length of time required and the distance between addresses. Smaller local moves may only need a single van and one or two movers for a few hours, while larger flat moves require more time and manpower. We usually quote either an hourly rate with a minimum booking or a fixed price for clearly defined jobs. All likely costs, including any congestion or parking charges, are explained upfront so you can budget with confidence.
Can you provide same-day or urgent man and van in Haringey?
Yes, subject to availability. Our schedule changes daily, so if you need an urgent move or same-day collection, contact us as early as you can. We will check our routes and team locations and let you know the earliest realistic arrival time. For genuine emergencies, we prioritise clear communication so you know exactly when to expect us and what can be achieved within the time available.
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 conditions. We also hold public liability cover, which protects against accidental damage to property or third parties while we work. We’ll outline the key points of cover when quoting, and for high-value or unusual items we’ll advise on any additional precautions or declarations that may be sensible.
What is included in your man and van service?
Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel within our agreed area, a professional moving team, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We bring basic protective materials such as blankets and straps as standard. Optional extras include full or partial packing, provision of boxes and packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, and out-of-hours moves. We tailor the service to your needs so you only pay for the support you actually require.
What is the difference between your removals service and man and van?
Our man and van option is designed for smaller, more flexible moves, usually charged by the hour, with fewer movers and a simpler structure. Our full removals service is more comprehensive: larger teams, more detailed planning, often a dedicated survey, full packing options and more extensive protection measures as standard. Both are delivered by the same professional, fully insured company; the choice depends on the size and complexity of your move and the level of support you want.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekends and month-end dates, we recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance where possible, as those periods fill quickly in Haringey. For weekday moves or smaller jobs, a few days’ notice is often sufficient. That said, we always do our best to accommodate short-notice enquiries. Even if your dates are not fixed, it’s worth discussing your plans early so we can pencil you in and offer advice on timings, parking and preparation.
