Man and van services in Southwark
Southwark has a high concentration of flats and larger residential developments, particularly around central neighbourhoods. On-street parking is tightly controlled, and many buildings operate managed access rather than open loading space. Coordinating stopping arrangements is therefore often part of smaller moves.
Many moves in Southwark take place within SE1 and surrounding Central London areas. Our platform lets you compare available man and van drivers serving the borough, choose the appropriate van size and level of help, and receive a quote based on your move details. That structure suits local conditions, where parking restrictions or shared access points can influence how a job runs, and makes it straightforward to arrange a man with a van suited to typical properties.
- Suitable for areas with controlled parking and busy residential access
- Drivers familiar with Southwark’s local street layouts and restrictions
- Well suited to flats, estates, and modern apartment developments

Customers booking man and van services in Southwark regularly share feedback on their experience, covering everything from communication and punctuality to how smoothly their move went.
Very efficient. Both the driver and his helper were very good. Worked fast. Squeezed everything into the van, even my upright piano (which they didn’t need any help with).
Great service. After a last minute cancellation from a different provider, this company picked up the job at a week’s notice and performed excellently. They were efficient and polite, couldn’t ask for anything more.
Bruno went above and beyond to help us out! And was very happy to do so :)
Yes - and so friendly
He was very polite, calm and did his work with such a great compodh
Very patient with the issues we had loading in to the loading bays, very frustrating for us all but the guys were great.

This flexibility makes man and van a practical option for renters, students, and anyone needing a straightforward move without booking a large removal service.
Choosing the right van size depends on the number and type of items you’re moving. During the quote process, you’ll be guided to select a van size based on your move details.

If you have any specific requirements, such as high-value items or building rules, it’s best to discuss these directly with your driver ahead of the move.
It depends on the service level you choose. With customer loading you are fully responsible for getting your property in and out of the van; with driver loading you add one or more helpers so everything is handled for you.
