Man and Van in Croydon
A man and van Croydon booking looks different in the centre and in the south. Moves out of the town-centre towers around East Croydon and Wellesley Road depend on the lift and on a legal place to stop: trams run on a one-way loop through the centre, and the town centre has its own permit zone. Removals from the houses of Sanderstead, Selsdon, Kenley and Coulsdon mean longer carries from lofts, garages and sheds, where a second or third mover can save time. Rates are £65 an hour for one mover and a van, £90 for two and £115 for three, with a 3-hour minimum and the same rate every hour. Boxes are £5 each.
IKEA pickup, single-sofa or fridge moves, one-piece deliveries, end-of-tenancy single-room clear-outs, storage drop-offs across London. Cheaper than a full move but with the same vetted, insured crew.
Studio, 1-bed, 2-bed and 3-bed full moves with a 2–3 person crew. Floors, lifts and parking are reviewed with both postcodes before booking, and a large Luton van is quoted after review if the move needs one.
Small office relocations, antiques and listed or conservation-area buildings. Tell us about heavy, fragile or awkward items so we can confirm the crew and time before booking.
Croydon local information
Trams run on a one-way loop through central Croydon, with stops at West Croydon, Wellesley Road, George Street, Church Street and Centrale, and lines out to Wimbledon, Beckenham Junction, Elmers End and New Addington. The town centre has its own Centre Permit Zone, so tell us where a van can stop clear of the tracks.
Census 2021 shows the split. Fairfield, the town-centre ward, is 71% purpose-built flats, including towers such as the 43-storey Saffron Square, while Sanderstead, Selsdon and Old Coulsdon are 75–80% detached or semi-detached houses. Thornton Heath is mostly Victorian, with terraces and converted flats. Tell us the floor, the lift and the stairs when you book.
At the time of writing (November 2026), Croydon Council charges £40.40 to collect one to three bulky items and £65.30 for four to six. Sofas, armchairs and mattresses with treated foam count as POPs waste and come on a separate visit, and everything must be at the front of the home, at pavement level, the night before.
About 26% of Croydon households rent privately (Census 2021). Under the council's Selective Licensing Scheme 2026, landlords need a licence for privately rented homes in 14 wards, including Fairfield, Thornton Heath, South Norwood, Selhurst, Addiscombe East and West, and both Norbury wards. Between tenancies, the end of tenancy clean and small repairs can be booked in the same week.
Surrey Street Market in the town centre trades Monday to Saturday 6am–6pm and Sunday 10.30am–5pm, so allow for stalls when choosing a loading time nearby. Selhurst Park in SE25, home of Crystal Palace, holds about 25,000 fans: check the fixture list before fixing a move or clearance near Selhurst, South Norwood or Thornton Heath.
Croydon is well outside the central London Congestion Charge zone, but the ULEZ has covered every London borough, Croydon included, since August 2023. It runs 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day. If you are hiring your own van, check it with TfL's vehicle checker; Hausio quotes travel and access after reviewing your postcode.

In Croydon it is £65/hour for 1 man + van, £90/hour for 2 men + van and £115/hour for 3 movers + van, with a 3-hour minimum; a large Luton van is quoted after review.

Every hour uses the same crew rate, with a 3-hour minimum; selected extras are additional.
Tell us the building and street when you book. Trams run on a one-way loop through the town centre, so a van cannot wait on the tracks, and the centre has its own permit zone. If your block has a car park, loading bay or bookable lift, ask the managing agent for access and send us the time. Hausio adds no separate parking charge.
Yes, on request. Croydon borders Surrey, and some CR postcodes run across the line: CR3 includes Caterham and CR5 includes Chipstead. The hourly crew rates still apply (£65, £90 or £115 an hour, 3-hour minimum), while longer-distance travel and a large Luton van are quoted after we review both postcodes.
