Worked totals
Man and van in Mitcham: single items, furniture collections and small loads around Fair Green, Morden Road and Pollards Hill, chosen against your item list and loading point.
| Illustration | Crew rate | Hours | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two-hour man and van job in Mitcham | £85 per hour | 2 | £85 × 2 = £170 |
| Driver Help single run in Mitcham | £70 per hour | 2 | £70 × 2 = £140 |
| Half-day flat move in Mitcham | £85 per hour | 4 | £85 × 4 = £340 |
Basis: illustrations only, from the published card: rate times crew hours, 2-hour minimum. Stairs add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs; a lift-served floor adds nothing. Council charges sit outside these totals and are worked into the true-cost example below.
Parking in Merton
Mitcham sits inside Merton’s scheme: one admin fee, then by the bay, with a cheaper first day, plus a yellow-line waiver for a single vehicle.
A suspension costs £36.75 admin plus £36.75 per bay on the first day and £40 per bay on later days, so a two-bay day costs £110.25 all-in. A yellow-line waiver costs £36.75 per vehicle per day. Give 10 working days.
Parking is the line most cheap quotes leave out and most movers discover on the day. Ours is set out before you book: you apply and pay Merton Council directly, we confirm the street, the spaces and the date first, and the charge is never added to the removals quote or marked up.
The borough-wide picture, with every scheme the council runs, is on our cheap removals in Merton page.
The true cost
Basis: the removals line is rate times crew hours from the published card. The council line is Merton Council’s own charge, set and charged by the council: you apply and pay the council directly, and the arrangement for your exact address is confirmed in your written quote. Stairs add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs.
Man and Van in Mitcham
Man and van in Mitcham suits single items and smaller loads: a sofa collected from a terrace near Fair Green, a bed delivered to a maisonette by Mitcham Eastfields, a fridge picked up along Morden Road, or a few rooms moved up towards Pollards Hill. The booking is a crew and their time, so the item list and the access at each end decide the quote, the same wardrobe is a different job from a driveway than from an upper maisonette reached by stairs. List every item with sizes, and say whether you need carrying help at both addresses.
Most Mitcham collections load from the street or a short drive outside the house. The exceptions are the centre and the station streets, where stopping space is tighter and the one-way system matters, so confirm the loading point beforehand, and the street position is a Merton suspension (£36.75 admin plus £36.75 per bay on the first day; a two-bay day £110.25 all-in; 10 working days’ notice). Within London the service runs on the hourly card in the prices panel on this page, with a 2-hour minimum, and your written quote confirms the crew size and the time basis.
Describe every item rather than estimating only by room count. Include large furniture, appliances, boxes and anything unusually heavy or fragile, then ask whether the expected load fits the selected crew and vehicle.
Say whether you need help loading, unloading or carrying from upper floors, and whether someone will be available to assist. The crew choice should reflect the work at both properties, not just the number of belongings.
Confirm when the time starts, how additional hours are counted, and whether travel, parking, waiting or other charges apply to your specific booking.
The cheap method
The card maths decides: 3 Men for 2 hours is £200, less than 2 Men for 3 hours at £255. On a long carry or several flights in Mitcham, the bigger crew is sometimes the cheaper total.
£70 per hour suits light loads you can help carry, the kind of job that starts in Mitcham town centre. It is not honest cheap for a full load: hours stretch and the saving disappears.
The Merton Council arrangement for your street is applied for in good time, on the figures in the parking section above. A van that can load legally from the door loads faster than one circling for a gap.
Every box you do not move is time you do not buy. Charity collections and the council bulky service handle the rejects; we are not a waste carrier, and the quote says so plainly.
Batch the small jobs into the 2-hour minimum: the single item, the boxes and the bags in one run, measured first so nothing needs a second trip.
Your own packing is the biggest saving after crew size. Materials from us are published: boxes £5 each, wrap £15, tape £10 per roll.
A £70 hour with one mover who cannot carry the wardrobe alone becomes three hours. A parking penalty, or a second run for the load that did not fit, costs more than the arrangement would have. The honest cheap booking in Mitcham prices the whole job: crew, hours, parking and stairs, in writing, before the day.
On the job
How it works
Postcodes, floor, stairs or lift, and a photo of any bay sign outside. For Mitcham, that is what decides the crew and the parking plan. Choose a team using the move details: describe the job, then ask for the crew, vehicle, tasks, duration basis and charges to be set out in writing.
Crew, hours, the parking arrangement and the total, itemised. Quotes are valid for 7 days and there is no deposit to book.
A suspension costs £36.75 admin plus £36.75 per bay on the first day and £40 per bay on later days, so a two-bay day costs £110.25 all-in. A yellow-line waiver costs £36.75 per vehicle per day. Give 10 working days. We confirm the street and date before anything is submitted.
We load, carry, transport and unload. Payment is taken at the time of service.

Best house removal company around. The team at Vano Removals was punctual, hard-working, and handled our furniture with great care. If you need reliable, stress-free local movers or packing services, I highly recommend them.
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.
The published card: Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 per hour, 3 Men £100 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum, so the floor is £140. From this page's illustrations: Two-hour man and van job in Mitcham: £85 × 2 hours = £170; Driver Help single run in Mitcham: £70 × 2 hours = £140. Council parking charges are the council's and sit outside the quote.
Where a driveway is available, usually not. For on-street loading, near Fair Green, the stations or along Morden Road: A Merton suspension costs £36.75 admin plus £36.75 per bay on the first day and £40 per bay on later days, so a two-bay day costs £110.25 all-in, on 10 working days’ notice; agree a stopping point near the entrance.
The removals side is worked from the published card: Two-hour man and van job in Mitcham: £85 × 2 hours = £170. The council side depends on your street: a suspension costs £36.75 admin plus £36.75 per bay on the first day and £40 per bay on later days, so a two-bay day costs £110.25 all-in. A yellow-line waiver costs £36.75 per vehicle per day. Give 10 working days. Your written quote confirms the arrangement for your address before you book, and any council charge is paid to the council, never added to our price.
Batch the small jobs into the 2-hour minimum: the single item, the boxes and the bags in one run, measured first so nothing needs a second trip. Driver Help at £70 per hour is the floor at £140 where one mover with the van covers the job; the mover loads and carries at this tier too, and you can lend a hand if you wish but are never required to. Where two people need to be carrying at once, 2 Men at £85 is the honest cheap option, because a one-person job that runs long costs more in hours than it saved on the rate.
When the hours fall faster than the rate rises. On the card, 2 Men for 2 hours is £170 against Driver Help for 3 hours at £210: if the second pair of hands takes an hour off the job, the dearer hour is the cheaper total. Heavy single items, stairs and long carries are where that usually happens.
Often, yes: one bulky item, several pieces of furniture or a modest maisonette load are typical bookings. Give every item with approximate sizes, say if you want help carrying at both ends, and ask whether the load suits the crew quoted.
Your written quote states when the clock starts, how extra time is counted and what the booking includes. A long carry, a wait for loading space near the centre or a slow run around the common can add time, so confirmed access helps keep the job to plan.
£5 per floor for each floor above ground where the team carries by stairs, at pickup, at delivery, or both. Floors served by a lift are not charged, and the ground floor is £0. The written quote itemises every floor charge before you book.
We move your belongings to a storage unit rented in your own name, and collect them again when the new place is ready. We are a removals crew, not a storage operator: the unit contract is yours, and our part is the transport at the published hourly card, itemised in the written quote.
No deposit to book. Cancel or rearrange without charge up to 24 hours before your move; within 24 hours, a charge of up to 25% of the quoted price may apply. Quotes are valid for 7 days. Payment is taken at the time of service. Loading, unloading and carrying are included, as are dismantling and reassembly where booked in advance; packing is included only where booked and listed in your quote.
Insurance is as stated in your written quote: ask us to confirm in writing.
