A van by the hour for E17 — one wardrobe, one room, or whatever will not go in a car
Hourly price for Walthamstow
Free · no obligation · a few items is fine
We are in and out of these streets all week with part loads, so the questions that decide the job are small ones: where the van can stand, how many flights there are, and whether you want a hand carrying.
A man and van job in E17 is rarely a house move. It is a bed frame that will not go in a car, a fridge bought off Marketplace two streets away, a room's worth of boxes going into a new share, or the half of a flat you are taking with you when a tenancy ends. That gets priced by the hour, for the van size the load actually needs and the number of hands you actually want, rather than as a shrunken version of a full removal.
The first question in Walthamstow is always how many flights, and who is carrying. So much of E17 is Victorian terrace long ago divided into flats that a quick collection often means a communal front door, a shared hallway and a staircase before anything reaches the kerb. The turns around Orford Road and Grove Road are the tight ones, and a sofa that went up in pieces does not come down in one. If you are loading yourself and only need the van and the driving, book driver only. If the wardrobe is on the second floor and you would rather not wrestle it alone, add a mover, or two. You choose that on the quote form, and the movers are priced separately from the van, so nothing is bundled in that you did not ask for.
The second question is where the van stands, and that changes street by street. Permit bays run the length of the Village and the conservation streets by St Mary's Church, so leaving a van in one while you fetch the second armful is a ticket rather than a shortcut. On market days sections of Hoe Street close to traffic, which means a Saturday collection near the High Street loads from a turning off it instead. Out towards Wood Street and Higham Hill the Edwardian streets and 1930s semis are wider, often with a driveway or side access, and a small load there is usually in the van inside the minimum booking length.
Because the hours are what the price is built from, the distance matters as much as the load does. A hop between two E17 addresses is a different job from a run out along the North Circular, and the floors at each end pull on the same clock — three flights at the collection and three more at the delivery is most of an hour before the van has moved. Put in both real addresses, say what floor each one is on and how many hands you want, and the price and a realistic number of hours are on screen before you commit to anything.

Small job, small effort. Size the van, say who lifts, see the price.
Small, medium, large or Luton. Pick the one your load actually fills instead of a van sized for a house.
Driver only if you are loading it yourself, or add a mover — or two — if a wardrobe has to come down three flights.
Blanketed, strapped and insured for a single item exactly as for a full van. Smaller job, same care.
Only if you ask him to. "Driver only" means exactly that — he brings the van and drives it, and you load and unload. Add one mover or two on the quote form and the price recalculates for the extra hands, so you are never paying for lifting you did not want.
Usually, and the form lets you pick which one. A small van takes a room of boxes and a couple of pieces of furniture; a Luton takes the contents of a flat. If you are between two sizes, the larger van in one run is normally quicker than the smaller one twice, because the second trip is another return journey through E17 traffic.
Yes, and it is a good part of what this service is for. Put the seller as the collection address and yours as the delivery, and tell us the floor at each end. The one thing we cannot judge for you is whether the item fits through your own door, so measure the doorway before you buy the sofa.
By the hour. The van has an hourly rate that follows its size, each mover is priced per hour on top of that, and the hours come from the loading, the driving between the two addresses and the floors at each end. A minimum booking length applies, so a five-minute hop still books as a proper job.
Yes. One item is an ordinary booking rather than a nuisance one. What decides the job is the weight, the floor and whether there is a lift — a fridge coming out of a third-floor conversion off Hoe Street is a two-person job even though it is only one thing.
As close to the door as the restrictions allow. Around the Village and St Mary's that means a permit-controlled street, so tell us the address when you book and we will say whether the van can hold a position outside or whether we work from the nearest turning that gives a loading window.
