Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your moving details – addresses, dates, rough list of items and any access issues. We respond promptly with a clear, no-obligation quote based on the size of the move, distance, number of staff required and any additional services you may need.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger moves, we recommend a short survey. This can be done virtually (via video call and photos) or onsite in Erith. The survey allows us to assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and volume of goods, so we can allocate the right removal van, equipment and team size.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can pack your own boxes or request our packing service for added convenience. We can supply professional packing materials and, where requested, our team will pack fragile items such as glassware, pictures and electronics. On the day, we protect furniture with blankets and coverings before loading.
4. Loading & Transport
Our trained movers load your belongings carefully, using padded blankets, straps and trolleys. Heavy and bulky items are positioned securely, with lighter boxes stacked safely. Once loaded, we transport everything directly to your new address using the most suitable route for Erith and beyond.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload and place items into the correct rooms as directed. We’ll position furniture where you want it and stack boxes logically so you can unpack easily. Before leaving, we do a final check with you to ensure nothing has been missed and you’re satisfied with the positioning.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Van Hire in Erith
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are typically based on:
- Size and number of removal vans required
- Number of removal staff
- Distance between properties
- Estimated loading and unloading time
- Any additional services (packing, materials, dismantling/reassembly)
We’ll explain exactly what is included in your quote before you book. If your requirements change, we update the quote so you always know where you stand. No surprise charges on the day.
Why Choose a Professional Removal Van Service Instead of DIY
Hiring a casual van or doing it all yourself can seem cheaper, but often costs more in time, stress and potential damage. With Man with Van Erith you benefit from:
- Professional loading techniques to reduce risk of damage
- Proper equipment – blankets, straps, trolleys and tools
- Fully insured cover for your goods and property
- Experienced drivers who handle larger vehicles and tight access confidently
- Reduced risk of personal injury from lifting heavy items incorrectly
Our role is to make moving day organised and manageable while protecting your belongings and your property.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate as a professional removals company with appropriate cover and standards in place:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover – protecting against accidental damage to property or third parties
- Trained moving teams – staff are briefed in safe lifting, loading and handling of fragile items
Details of cover levels are available on request. We work methodically and carefully to minimise risk and treat your belongings as if they were our own.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Protecting your items and looking after the environment are both important to us. We use heavy-duty blankets, mattress covers and protective wrapping where needed to keep your furniture and belongings safe in transit.
Where possible, we reuse sturdy packing materials and recycle cardboard and plastics responsibly. We also plan routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage. Our aim is to provide a careful, reliable service while keeping waste and environmental impact to a sensible minimum.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in Erith cost?
Costs depend on the size of your move, the distance travelled and how many staff you need. Smaller flat or student moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while full-house moves are usually quoted as a fixed price once we understand the volume and access. Additional services such as packing, dismantling and materials will be itemised clearly. The best way to get an accurate cost is to contact us with your details for a tailored, no-obligation quotation.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?
Yes, we can often provide same-day or short-notice removal van services in Erith, subject to availability. If your plans have changed suddenly or you’ve been let down, contact us as early as you can with your addresses, preferred time and an outline of what needs moving. We’ll confirm quickly whether we can accommodate the job, what size van and team we can provide, and the cost, so you can make a clear decision without delay.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items while they are being moved in our vehicles, and public liability cover for work at both properties. This means you have protection if something unexpected happens during the move. We still handle everything with great care to avoid any issues in the first place. If you have particularly high-value or unusual items, let us know in advance so we can confirm how best to protect them.
What is included in your removal van service?
Our standard service includes a suitable removal van, a trained driver, and the number of movers agreed in your quote. We load, transport and unload your belongings, placing them into the rooms you specify. We provide moving blankets, straps and basic tools for dismantling standard furniture where agreed. Packing, supply of boxes, and specialist services such as extensive dismantling or disposal are optional extras and will be clearly detailed in your quotation before you book.
What’s the difference between your service and a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van may offer simple transport, but often without the same level of planning, insurance or equipment. Our service is a structured removals operation with surveys where needed, trained staff, reliable vehicles, and documented cover for your goods. We focus on careful loading, protection and communication throughout the move. This reduces risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs, providing a more dependable and professional experience than an informal one-person operation.
How far in advance should I book a removal van in Erith?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks in advance, especially for weekends or month-end dates which are often busiest. This gives us time to schedule the right van size, team and, if needed, a survey. However, we understand that moves are not always confirmed that early, so we also accommodate shorter notice where possible. Even if your date is close, it’s worth contacting us – we’ll advise on our availability and best options.
