Man and van prices in London: 2026 hourly rates and what a whole move costs.

Most quotes for a man and van are hourly, so the number that matters is the total: the rate, multiplied by the hours, plus whatever is added for access. This guide sets out the man and van prices Hausio charges in London in 2026 and how they turn into the cost of a whole move.

Man and van hourly rates in London

Hausio charges £65 per hour for 1 man and a van, £90 per hour for 2 men and a van, and £115 per hour for 3 men and a Luton van. Every booking has a 3-hour minimum, and every hour is charged at the same rate.

What a whole move costs

A single item or a studio with one man and a van is typically three hours: £195. A 1-bed flat with one or two movers takes three to four hours and usually runs £195–£360. A 2-bed flat with two movers takes four to six hours, £360–£540. A 3-bed house with three movers takes six to eight hours, £690–£920.

What changes the price

• Stairs and lifts. No-lift Victorian buildings add time; so does a long carry from the parking space.
• Heavy or bulky furniture. Tell us about it so we can confirm the right crew.
• Boxes. £5 each.
• Same-day booking. +£15 where available.
• Central London access. Bookings inside the Congestion Zone (EC, WC, W1, SW1, SE1) carry a flat access charge.

Travel and access are reviewed after you send both postcodes, and any cost is confirmed before you book. A booking made well in advance may require a £100 deposit, which is credited to the final bill.

How to keep the total down

• Send an item list or photos, both postcodes, floors, lift access and parking details at each address.
• Have everything boxed before the crew arrives.
• Choose the crew size for the job: a 1-bed flat usually takes 3–4 hours with one mover and 2–3 hours with two.
