Frequently Asked Questions

From the first call, we plan your house removals step-by-step. We'll ask about access (lift or stairs), how many rooms you're moving, and whether you need packing, furniture transport, or waiting time. On the day, our fully insured, DBS-checked movers use protective blankets, straps, and the right vehicle for your load. If you're using packing materials, we'll box and label items so they're easier to unpack. We also take photos before and after loading to reduce any uncertainty. That's why customers choose Man and Van Bickley for smooth moving days across London and nearby boroughs. Over 21 years of professional removals and relocation services.

Yes - our service includes a sensible waiting approach. You'll let us know the key timing windows, such as when keys are available, when a lift is free, or when parking restrictions ease. If there's a delay, we'll build the wait into the schedule so you're not stuck arranging additional transport last minute. For flats, we'll factor in loading bay timing and any building management rules. We'll also confirm what we can do in the meantime, like continuing packing checks or preparing items for a quicker second trip. With experienced movers and a clear plan, delays are usually far less stressful. Rated 4.9 stars from 424+ verified reviews.

We use the practical stuff that makes a real difference on moving day. Expect protective blankets for sofas, mattresses wrapped to reduce scuffs, corner protection for tables, and straps to keep loads steady during transit. For fragile items like glassware, we use suitable wrap and packing methods so nothing rattles. We also bring furniture dollies where helpful to protect floors and door frames, especially in tenanted flats. If you're moving office furniture, we can handle desks and chairs with care to minimise downtime. Our approach is designed for safe handling from the first lift in your hallway to the final placement in your new place.

Yes. We're fully insured and our team is DBS-checked, so you're dealing with background-checked professionals - not random labour. That's especially important for house removals where we may need to access sheds, storage areas, or internal communal corridors. We also follow strict handling routines to protect both your belongings and property surroundings. If you're moving through shared spaces, we take extra care with doors, lift buttons, and flooring transitions. In short, you can book with confidence because our people and processes are set up to meet high UK safety expectations. Fully insured, DBS-checked, and trained movers.

Our pricing is built around what actually affects cost: distance, the volume of items, whether you need packing, and access difficulty such as stairs, narrow hallways, or lift bookings. We'll also consider whether you need waiting time if the move-in date changes. The goal is to be clear up front so there are no surprises on the day. If you've got bulky items - like wardrobes, large sofas, or multiple flat screens - tell us early and we'll plan the right loading strategy. We can help you decide what to pack yourself versus what to leave to the team. For a quote, share photos and your preferred moving date, and we'll confirm the plan.

We take training seriously, because safe handling isn't optional - it's part of how we deliver removals. Our movers are trained for careful lifting, packing, and securement, and we keep to UK transport, safety, and handling regulations throughout. If you're familiar with industry expectations, you'll like that we align with recognised standards used by reputable removal companies. We also support safe working practices in line with SafeContractor principles, where appropriate. For many customers, this is the difference between a stressful scramble and a properly managed move. You can also expect professional behaviour in shared buildings - courtesy, punctuality, and careful use of doors and lifts. Accredited with trained, compliant movers.

Absolutely. This is one of the most common requests when people are planning around a chain, a renovation, or a late delivery. We can package your items securely - using eco-friendly packing boxes where suitable - and then keep them ready for loading when the timing lines up. If you need us to wait for access or a handover window, we'll confirm the plan before the day so you know exactly what to expect. For example, in a flat with a booked lift time, we'll align our loading to the slot. We can also label boxes clearly so your valuables and essentials are easy to find when you're ready to unpack. Eco rating: 88% of packing materials and transport methods are eco-friendly and low-emission.

We provide professional removals across London and nearby boroughs, making it easier to plan a move without chasing multiple quotes. Typical nearby areas include: Bromley (Bromley), Croydon (Croydon), Sutton (Sutton), Kingston upon Thames (Kingston), Richmond (Richmond upon Thames), Wandsworth (Wandsworth), Lambeth (Lambeth), Southwark (Southwark), Lewisham (Lewisham), Greenwich (Greenwich), Haringey (Haringey), and Islington (Islington). If you're unsure whether we cover your exact street, share your postcode and we'll confirm quickly. We're used to moves in busy town centres and residential streets, so access planning is part of our process from the start. Track record: 6300+ successful moves completed locally.

Yes - access planning is a big part of keeping your move safe and on time. Before we arrive, we'll talk through stairs, lifts, narrow passages, and whether there are parking restrictions for loading. In London boroughs with controlled parking, we'll help you think about the best options for a convenient loading point. If your building has specific rules - like booking a service lift - we can work around the slot you're given. On the day, we use the right routes for heavy items and protect door frames and floors. That means fewer scuffs, fewer delays, and a smoother handover at both ends. Our team works carefully through busy walkways and communal areas every week.

When moving near well-used hotspots, we focus on control and protection. We'll stage items carefully to avoid blocking entrances, and we use blankets and straps so furniture doesn't rub or shift while being carried. In places like Wandsworth Common, the routes can be narrow or busy, so we plan timing and the safest approach before we lift a single item. If you're moving near popular routes such as Wimbledon Station, we also consider how foot traffic might affect loading and unloading. We'll keep communication clear so you're not waiting around at the kerb. In short, we manage the logistics so your belongings arrive intact and you stay focused on your move.

We aim to reduce waste and emissions wherever possible. That's why we use eco-friendly packing materials in most moves, and we focus on methods that cut unnecessary trips. For example, we'll use packing boxes and protective wrap efficiently - so you're not buying extra supplies for each room. When it's suitable, we can help you plan what to pack first to avoid last-minute re-packing that increases waste. We also secure loads to reduce movement in transit, helping reduce damage and the need for replacements. Eco rating: 88% of packing materials and transport methods are eco-friendly and low-emission. If you want, we can advise how to reuse sturdy boxes for storage after your move.

Yes. Wardrobes, TVs, and office desks often need a little more thought than books or soft items, so we handle them with the right approach. TVs are treated as fragile items, with careful wrapping and secure placement so they don't get knocked during loading. Wardrobes are managed to prevent door and rail damage, and we'll plan the carrying route to avoid scraping door frames. For office moves, we can coordinate transport so desks and chairs arrive in time for reopening, and we can label cartons to match your room layout. If you're moving through a busy block near Seven Kings or along main roads, just let us know and we'll plan around access and timing. Rated 4.9 stars from 424+ verified reviews.

If we notice an item needs extra protection - like a fragile glass set, a boxed lamp, or something that's already showing wear - we'll flag it straight away. We'll adjust the packing method there and then, using suitable wrap, padding, or extra corner protection to get it secure. Because we're experienced movers with a methodical approach, this usually takes minutes, not hours. We also take photos before and after loading so you have a clear record of how items were handled. If you're worried about a specific item, tell us in advance and we'll include it in the plan. Over 21 years of professional removals and relocation services.

Many people end up with extra boxes, bubble wrap, or protective materials after a move, so it's good to reuse where you can. Check your local council guidance for recycling rules - some London boroughs accept cardboard and paper-based packing for recycling if it's clean and flattened. If you used tape and mixed materials, those can sometimes need sorting. For reuse, ask neighbours or local community groups if they want sturdy moving boxes and protective wrapping. If you're not sure where to take items, your borough's recycling centre website will usually list what's accepted, along with opening times. We also recommend keeping a few strong boxes for short-term storage so you don't buy new supplies later. Compliance: Following all UK transport, safety, and handling regulations.

You can usually get a quote quickly once we have the basics: your moving date, where you're moving from and to, the main access details, and whether you want packing included. If you're unsure about volume, photos or a quick room count helps us estimate more accurately. In London, timing matters, so we'll work around your required waiting window and lift or parking constraints. If you've already got a date locked in, tell us early so we can confirm availability and secure the plan. Many customers book because the process is straightforward and the team turns up ready to work, not guess. Call our London team and we'll schedule your removals quote now.
