In short: a Short Move is our man and van service. You get one mover and a van for up to two hours, from £139. If anything needs two people, like a sofa up the stairs, we spot it from your quote details and send two movers.
What a Short Move is good for
Single items
A sofa, a bed, a wardrobe, a fridge, a washing machine or a desk. Collected and placed where you want it.
Small moves
A room in a shared flat, a studio with few things, or bags and boxes to a new place.
Storage runs
Into or out of your storage unit. Bigger loads may need a Half Day.
New purchases
Bought something too big for a taxi? We’ll collect it and carry it in.
One mover or two?
Most Short Moves need one mover. Anything that takes two people to lift safely gets two movers, along with stairs, lifts or difficult parking. We work this out from your quote details, so the right team turns up.
You never need to help carry. For safety, our movers do all the lifting.
Why choose a Short Move over a van app?
A van app sends whoever is free. With us you deal with one company, and every mover follows the same standards: a walkthrough first, your home looked after, items wrapped and strapped in. You get one clear price before you pay.
Short Move questions
How much is a man and van in London?
Our Short Moves start from £139 for one mover and a van for up to two hours. Your quote confirms the price for your job.
Do you do one-hour jobs?
No. Two hours is our shortest booking, which gives time for parking, careful loading and getting to the other end.
