The cheap way to book man and van in Peckham is not a discount label. It is the right crew size, the Southwark Council parking sorted in good time, and a written total before the day: Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85, 3 Men £100, 2-hour minimum, no deposit.

Worked totals
Man and van in Peckham: single items, small flat loads and furniture collections across Peckham Rye, Nunhead and Queens Road, matched to your item list, stairs and loading point.
| Illustration | Crew rate | Hours | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two-hour man and van job in Peckham | £85 per hour | 2 | £85 × 2 = £170 |
| Driver Help single run in Peckham | £70 per hour | 2 | £70 × 2 = £140 |
| Half-day flat move in Peckham | £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.
Man and Van in Peckham
Man and van in Peckham suits smaller jobs done properly: a wardrobe collected from a Nunhead terrace, a sofa carried down from a converted flat near Peckham Rye, or a few rooms of furniture moved a short distance within SE15. Because the crew and time follow your item list and the stairs involved, the same job can be quick from a ground-floor flat and slow from a top-floor conversion up a narrow staircase. So measure the big pieces, list them all, and tell us where carrying help is needed.
Tell us the floor and stair details for both addresses, and whether the property is a house, a conversion or a block with a lift. Loading on Rye Lane is difficult, so plan to load from the street outside the property or a nearby side street, and the street position is a Southwark suspension (£53.15 per space per day plus £93 admin; two spaces for one day £199.30; at least 7 days’ notice). The service is hourly within London; the prices and terms panel on this page carries the card, and your quote confirms the crew size and how your time is counted.
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.
Parking in Southwark
Peckham sits inside Southwark’s scheme: controlled streets need a suspension, charged per space per day with a single admin fee per application.
A suspension costs £53.15 per space per day plus £93 admin, so two spaces for one day come to £199.30. Apply at least 7 days ahead.
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 Southwark 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 Southwark page.
On the job
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 Peckham, 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 Peckham Rye. It is not honest cheap for a full load: hours stretch and the saving disappears.
The Southwark 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 Peckham prices the whole job: crew, hours, parking and stairs, in writing, before the day.
The true cost
Basis: the removals line is rate times crew hours from the published card. The council line is Southwark 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.
The homes and streets
Peckham’s housing is mostly Victorian terraces, and the details repeat: raised ground floors with front steps, narrow hallways, and conversions that share one entrance and staircase. Around Peckham Rye and Bellenden the houses are larger and often still single homes, while Nunhead and Queens Road mix conversions with estate flats and newer apartments. Rye Lane is the busy, narrow centre, good for shops, rarely workable as a loading point, so most moves load from the residential street itself. Tell us the floor, the steps and the loading point for your address and your quote will be planned around them.

How it works

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 Peckham: £85 × 2 hours = £170; Driver Help single run in Peckham: £70 × 2 hours = £140. Council parking charges are the council's and sit outside the quote.
A suspension costs £53.15 per space per day plus £93 admin, so two spaces for one day come to £199.30. Apply at least 7 days ahead. We confirm the position for your exact addresses at quote stage.
Take two-hour man and van job in Peckham: removals £170 (£85 × 2 hours), plus the council line: a suspension costs £53.15 per space per day plus £93 admin, so two spaces for one day come to £199.30. All in, the illustration comes to £369.30, before any stair charges (£5 per floor where the carry is by stairs). The council part is paid to Southwark Council, not to us.
Usually, yes, for a smaller load, a couple of rooms, a single bulky piece or a shop collection. Give approximate sizes for everything, say if you need carrying help at both ends, and check the load against the crew and vehicle in your quote.
The written quote for your job states the start point for the clock, the rate for any extra time and exactly what is covered. Stairs, front steps and a longer carry from the loading point can all add time, so accurate access details keep the job predictable.
£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.
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.
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.
