Cheap removals in Merton start at £140: Driver Help at the 2-hour minimum, on a published card of Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 and 3 Men £100. A typical 2-bed Merton move totals £340 to £510. The full Merton hub and the main house removals service run on the same card; this page covers the whole borough, Mitcham, Morden, Colliers Wood and Wimbledon, while Wimbledon also has its own cheap page in this programme for its Village, town centre and Raynes Park detail. The full picture is on the removals in Merton hub and the main house removals service, which run on the same card and terms. The area detail is on the House removals in Mitcham page.
Merton mix is houses and maisonettes: Victorian terraces around Mitcham and Colliers Wood, 1930s semis in Morden and Raynes Park, and period houses and town centre flats in Wimbledon. The 2-bed and 3-bed rows do most of the work. Where a total lands inside its range is decided by the carry and the street, not by which end of the borough the address sits in.
| Job | Crew | Time | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bed flat or maisonette, Colliers Wood | 2 Men | 2 to 3 hours | £170 to £255 |
| 2-bed terrace, Mitcham | 2 Men | 4 to 5 hours | £340 to £425 |
| 2-bed house, Morden or Raynes Park | 2 Men | 4 to 6 hours | £340 to £510 |
| 3-bed semi, Wimbledon Park | 3 Men | 5 to 6 hours | £500 to £600 |
| Family house, Wimbledon Village | 3 Men | 6 to 8 hours | £600 to £800 |
| A few rooms only (part-load) | Driver Help or 2 Men | 2 to 3 hours | £140 to £255 |
Worked from our published hourly card (Driver Help £70, 2 Men £85, 3 Men £100 per hour, 2-hour minimum): every total above is the rate times the hours. Your written quote confirms the total for your addresses before you book. Included beside every price: the Luton van with a tail lift, loading, unloading and carrying at both ends, blankets, wrap and straps, dismantling and reassembly where booked, fuel and mileage within London, and placement in the right rooms. Add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs (lift-served floors are not charged): tell us the floors at both addresses when you ask for a quote and the charge is in the quote, not a surprise on the day.

| Removals: 2 Men at £85 per hour for 5 hours | £425 |
| Council: suspension, £36.75 admin plus two bays at £36.75 for day one | £110.25 |
| All-in illustration | £560.25 |
The council fee in this illustration is set and charged by Merton Council: you apply and pay the council directly, and it is shown separately from the removals total rather than inside it. The removals total is the rate times the hours from our published card. The arrangement for your exact address is confirmed in your written quote, and any road charges that apply to your route are confirmed there too.
Most Merton moves load from the street, and on a controlled street around the town centres and stations the van position is a Merton Council parking bay suspension. The scheme is one of the simplest and cheapest in London: one admin fee per application, then a per-bay charge with the first day priced lower than the days after it. The council also runs a yellow line waiver for a single vehicle, at £36.75 per vehicle per day, which can suit a short load where waiting permission is all the street needs.
The application needs ten full working days of notice, for a suspension or a waiver alike, and the details are worth getting right first time: changing the paperwork after a suspension has been issued costs another £36.75. You apply and pay Merton Council directly; our part is done at quote stage, where we confirm whether each address needs a suspension, a waiver or nothing at all, how many bays the van needs, and the dates, so the application goes in once, correctly, and inside the notice period. Many residential streets in Morden, Mitcham and Raynes Park need nothing arranged: the quote will say so plainly where that is the case.
| Admin fee | £36.75 per application |
|---|---|
| First day | £36.75 per bay |
| Further days | £40 per bay per day |
| Two bays, one day | £110.25 all-in (£36.75 admin plus 2 x £36.75) |
| Yellow line waiver | £36.75 per vehicle per day |
| Bay size | Roughly five to six metres; a Luton needs about two bays |
| Notice period | Ten full working days |
| Changes after issue | Another £36.75 admin fee |
| Who applies and pays | You apply and pay Merton Council directly; we confirm the bays and dates at quote stage |
Parking charges are set and charged by Merton Council: you apply and pay the council directly, and the fee never sits inside your removals quote. The arrangement for your exact address is confirmed in your written quote.
Merton is a borough of separate towns, and each loads differently. Mitcham, the older eastern end around Fair Green and the common, is Victorian terraces near the centre, 1930s semis toward Pollards Hill, and maisonettes near Mitcham Eastfields and Mitcham Junction stations: mostly street or short-drive loading, with the centre and station streets busier and controlled. Morden is the 1930s end, semis and maisonettes around the Northern line terminus, generally the borough calmest loading. Colliers Wood mixes Victorian terraces with newer flats along the Wandle and the High Street, where the approach runs on the A24.
Wimbledon divides into the Village on the hill, with period houses on narrower streets, limited kerbside space and stepped approaches that lengthen the carry; the town centre below it, with flats, lifts and building processes to check; and South Wimbledon, Wimbledon Park, Raynes Park and Merton Park, with semis and maisonettes and easier street loading. During the Championships fortnight in late June and early July, the streets around the All England Club close or fill, so Wimbledon dates in that window are planned around the tournament. One borough, one council scheme, four different days: the quote is built from the town and the street, not the borough label.
Victorian terraces near Fair Green, 1930s semis toward Pollards Hill, maisonettes near the stations. Mitcham Common shapes the journeys around it.
The borough 1930s stock around the Northern line terminus: wider streets, driveways, and among the simplest loading in Merton.
Terraces and newer flats along the Wandle and the High Street: the A24 approach and station streets are the controlled ground.
Village period houses on the hill, town centre flats, and Raynes Park and South Wimbledon semis. The Championships fortnight reshapes its calendar.
Merton parking is cheap when it is done once. The admin fee is £36.75, the first day per bay is £36.75, and a two-bay day is £110.25 all-in, among the lowest council lines in London. The avoidable costs are the second admin fee for changed paperwork (£36.75) and a second day at £40 per bay per day, so the cheap plan confirms the vehicle details and dates at quote stage, applies inside the ten full working days, and finishes each address inside the first day wherever the move allows it. For a short single-vehicle load on a yellow line street, ask whether the £36.75 waiver is the right product instead of a suspension.
Then the housing levers, borough sized. Most Merton houses load from the street or a short drive, so the hours go on the load itself: declutter the loft and garage that Mitcham and Morden houses accumulate, stage boxes at the door, and right-size the crew, with 3 Men on the bigger Village and Wimbledon Park houses often cheaper in total than 2 Men stretching the day. Wimbledon moves in the Championships fortnight are dated around the tournament from the start.
The cheapest hour is not always the cheapest move: a 3 Men crew at £100 per hour that finishes sooner can cost less in total than a smaller crew on a longer day, and Driver Help at £70 per hour is the cheapest hour only where one mover genuinely fits the job. The written quote works the comparison for your load and your access, and shows both totals where both crews are realistic.
The borough is not one move. What each area asks of the crew, the van and the parking plan, in short.
Victorian terraces near Fair Green, 1930s semis toward Pollards Hill, maisonettes near Mitcham Eastfields and Mitcham Junction. The borough eastern end.
1930s semis and maisonettes around the Northern line terminus and Morden Park: steady family moves and calm loading.
Terraces and newer flats between the Wandle and the High Street, on the A24 corridor into Tooting and South Wimbledon.
The Village, the town centre, South Wimbledon, Wimbledon Park and Raynes Park. Wimbledon has its own cheap page in this programme for its full detail.
Quiet residential streets between Wimbledon and Morden: period and interwar houses with straightforward street loading.
Semis and maisonettes around the station, running out toward Motspur Park and the A3: easier loading, longer journeys at peak times.
| Point of comparison | The typical way | With Vano Removals |
|---|---|---|
| The price | A day rate quoted for a home the firm has never asked about, with the real total settled once the van is loaded | A published hourly card, totals worked by job type on this page, and your total confirmed in a written quote before the day |
| Crew size | The smallest crew that keeps the hourly rate looking low, however long the day runs | The crew that gives the lowest total for your building and your access, with the comparison shown in the quote where both options are realistic |
| Parking | Discovered on the morning, with the van circling while the clock runs | The council arrangement is confirmed at quote stage and applied for once, correctly: two bays for one day at £110.25 all-in, inside the ten full working days |
| Stairs and access | Stair charges appearing per item or per trip once the crew sees the building | A flat £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs, lift-served floors not charged, stated in the written quote |
| Deposit and cancellation | A deposit to book is common, and cancellation windows vary widely at the budget end | No deposit to book; free cancellation up to 24 hours before; quotes valid 7 days; payment at the time of service |

Four steps, and the preparation steps are the ones that keep the total down.
Rooms, postcodes, floors and lifts at both addresses, and what the access is really like. The cheaper quotes are the accurate ones: a crew sized from the real job never has to grow on the day.
The quote comes back in writing with the crew size, the hours the move should take, the total worked as the rate times the hours, and the parking answer for each address. It is valid for 7 days, and booking takes no deposit.
Sort each room four ways (move it, charity you name, set aside, disposal route), pack and label what is moving, and stage it so the crew loads without hunting. Every hour of this you do is an hour you do not buy.
The crew loads, drives, and places everything in the right rooms, rebuilding where booked, then checks the home off with you. Payment is at the time of service.
In Merton a suspension or waiver application needs ten full working days of notice, so the quote is agreed first and the parking applied for straight after.

“Vano Removals moved our 2-bed flat from Croydon to Sutton last week. The two-man crew arrived on time, wrapped the sofa and TV properly, and finished quicker than I expected. Nothing was damaged. Booking was simple and the final price matched the written quote. Would use them again.”

07459 180023From £140 on our published card: Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 per hour and 3 Men £100 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum. A typical 2-bed Merton move is £340 to £510 with 2 Men over 4 to 6 hours, and a 3-bed house £500 to £600 with 3 Men. Every total is the rate times the hours. Stairs add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs, lift-served floors are not charged, and your written quote confirms the total before you book. No deposit.
Merton Council charges a £36.75 admin fee per application, plus £36.75 per bay for the first day and £40 per bay per day after that. A bay is roughly five to six metres and a Luton needs about two, so two bays for one day come to £110.25 all-in. A yellow line waiver costs £36.75 per vehicle per day. Applications need ten full working days of notice, and changing the paperwork after issue costs another £36.75. These are the council charges: you apply and pay Merton Council directly; we confirm the bays and dates at quote stage.
This page covers the whole borough of Merton: Mitcham, Morden, Colliers Wood and Wimbledon, on the one Merton Council parking scheme. Wimbledon also has its own cheap page in this programme, covering the Village, the town centre, South Wimbledon, Raynes Park and Wimbledon Park in their own detail, including the Championships fortnight. The rates, the council figures and the terms are the same on both pages, because it is one borough and one published card.
The streets around the All England Club close or fill during the Championships fortnight in late June and early July, and loading positions near the ground are planned around the tournament rather than assumed. Give us your date when you enquire and we will either plan the start time and loading point around the closures or suggest the nearest clear date, before anything is booked. The parking notice period still applies: ten full working days.
Get the parking application right once, inside the ten full working days, and finish each address inside the first day, when bays cost £36.75 rather than £40. On streets that need nothing arranged, spend nothing on process. Declutter the loft and garage first, stage at the door, and right-size the crew to the house: on the larger Wimbledon houses, 3 Men finishing sooner can cost less in total than 2 Men on a longer day.
£5 per floor where the carry is by stairs, counted at each address where the crew carries by stairs, and stated in your written quote before the day. Lift-served floors are not charged: if the lift takes the load, there is no stair charge for those floors. The charge is per floor, not per item and not per trip. Tell us the floors and lifts at both addresses when you ask for the quote, and the figure is in the total from the start.
Yes. Crew time is the bill, and a home packed, labelled and staged when we arrive loads faster than one we pack as we go. Materials are priced in the open: boxes £5 each, protective wrap £15, tape £10 per roll, and you only buy what you use. If you would rather we packed the fragile pieces, say so when you book and that time is in the written quote as a booked extra.
Yes, as transport. You book a unit in your own name with the operator of your choice; we collect, load and stack it properly, and redeliver when the new address is ready. The transport runs on the same hourly card, and the unit rent and terms stay between you and the operator. We do not operate a storage facility.
Not for disposal. We are not a licensed waste carrier, so we cannot take household items away to be disposed of or recycled. We can carry pieces to a charity you name, if it has agreed to accept them, or to a storage unit you have booked in your own name. Anything for disposal goes through your council bulky item collection or a registered waste carrier you appoint, and you can check any carrier free on the Environment Agency public register before you appoint one.
There is no deposit to book. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the move; inside 24 hours, a cancellation charge of up to 25 percent of the quoted price applies. Every quote is given in writing and is valid for 7 days. Payment is at the time of service.
Insurance is as stated in your written quote: ask us to confirm in writing.
