Good company and even helped us move when traffic delayed him
Desmond did a great job.
If I could give 10 stars to Napoleon I would. When I initially booked this job at the beginning of the week, I chose a man and van based on their reviews. It was really important to me that I knew who was coming to help me as I was emptying out my storage unit after 5 and half years. It was going to be a stressful process and I wanted to know that the person who was helping me was going to do a good job. The day before, I received a notification that my man and van had been changed. I was not happy and considered cancelling the booking altogether but I needed the job done the next day (as scheduled!!). I couldn't risk not finding someone at short notice.I got a call that evening from my new driver and this put all of my fears to rest! Napoleon went above and beyond to make this job go as smoothly as possible. I couldn't have asked for a better person to help me! He was on time and wasn't phased by the amount of stuff in my storage unit. He spent as much time reassuring me as he did packing his van. He is an absolute expert at this making sure that everything was carefully put into his van and that it all fit. He called a helper, Tomas, to meet at my flat to unload. They were quick and efficient and so careful with my things. Nothing was too much trouble. If you are lucky enough to see this review, book Napoleon without hesitation. I would never use anyone else now.
Ismail was extremely helpful and assisted with handling heavy stuff, which made everything so much easier. Very reliable, professional, and sharp with timing. Highly recommend.
On time and really helpful.
Very polite and professional Option for ‘driver help loading/unloading’ and ‘customer to load/unload’ should be offered more clearly
Des was great. Got us from London to the Lakes in 4.5hrs! Friendly guy. On time, hard worker. Would recommend :)
Really easy to use service, and our driver Mariusz was great - very helpful and a great driver. Got us and our contents to our new home quickly and safely. Would use again.
Robert was right on time and very professional, he knew exactly what to load first in the van. Everything went smooth and super fast both at loading and unloading. Highly recommend!

Battersea jobs can involve mansion blocks, managed entrances, riverside developments and busy residential streets. Comparing local drivers helps you choose someone with the right van size, loading help and access experience for the job.
What to plan for when moving in Battersea
Battersea moves can range from flats and mansion blocks to newer riverside developments. The main practical issue is often making sure the van can stop close enough for loading without slowing the job down.
Flats and larger blocks
Some Battersea moves involve shared entrances, lifts, concierge areas or upper floors, so clear access details help drivers understand the job.
Parking and loading space
Residential streets and newer developments can have different stopping rules, so it is worth checking loading arrangements before move day.
Busy local connections
Routes around Clapham Junction, Battersea Park and Nine Elms can be slower at busy times, so accurate collection and delivery details matter.
For broader planning advice, see our London moving guides.

What affects the cost of a man and van in Battersea?
Your quote is shaped by the details you choose — so you only pay for what your move needs. Enter your move information to see available options based on van size, level of help and distance between addresses.
The main things that change your quote
Choosing the right size van helps ensure your move runs efficiently without paying for more space than you need.
Choose driver-only for a lower-cost option, or add extra help with loading and unloading if needed.
The distance between addresses and the time needed to safely load and unload your items both play a role.
Common Battersea factors to consider
Stairs, lifts, long corridors, tight entrances and parking distance can affect loading time and how your move is carried out.
Peak days and busy time slots can affect both price and availability.
Your route is estimated from your postcodes, but peak-time traffic can still influence travel time between addresses.
The price you see is the price you pay when you book.
Not sure on timings, van size, or how much help you’ll need? Adding a small buffer upfront is usually easier — and less stressful — than changing things on the day.
