flat in London next month
I’m moving to a new flat in London next month, and honestly, I have no idea where to start when it comes to hiring a man and van service. There are so many options, and I’ve heard some horror stories about unreliable movers. I need something affordable but also professional because I have some fragile items. What should I be looking for in a good man and van service? Any recommendations or things to avoid?

I’ve moved several times in London, and I completely understand the struggle. The key things you should consider are reliability, pricing transparency, and customer reviews. A lot of companies will give you a cheap quote but then add hidden fees later. Also, always check if they have insurance—this is crucial if you have fragile or valuable items.
One company I’d recommend checking out is The London Man with Van. They’re well-rated, offer flexible services, and, most importantly, are upfront about their pricing. They cover all of London, including last-minute bookings, which is super helpful if your plans change. I used them last year, and the movers were punctual, friendly, and handled everything carefully, including my glass dining table.
Another thing—try to avoid companies that don’t provide a contract or clear terms. If they’re vague about costs or don’t offer written confirmation, that’s a red flag. Also, check if they provide packing help or just transport, depending on what you need.
