Hourly Rates for Two or Three Professional Movers
Two professional movers and a Luton van cost £80 an hour plus VAT, with a three-hour minimum. Three movers cost £100 an hour plus VAT, with a four-hour minimum. Either crew can be booked for the full day. After the minimum, time runs in 30-minute steps, so half an hour more costs £40 plus VAT for two movers and £50 for three.
| Booking | Price - VAT | Incl. 20% VAT | Minimum | Lowest total incl. VAT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 movers + Luton van, per hour | £80 | £96 | 3 hours | £288 |
| 3 movers + Luton van, per hour | £100 | £120 | 4 hours | £480 |
| 2 movers + Luton van, full day | £600 | £720 | One day | £720 |
| 3 movers + Luton van, full day | £750 | £900 | One day | £900 |
The rate covers the van, the crew, and loading and unloading. Removals Deptford prices follow the hours, which depend on crew size, the distance between the addresses, stairs and lifts, the carry from door to van, and traffic. Tolls, zone charges and difficult-access charges are added where our terms apply. Home removals and full packing are quoted individually after the survey; the online quote calculator gives a rough figure first, and the full price list shows every rate. Payment is due before work starts, by cash, bank transfer or PayPal.
House Removals After a Free Survey
House removals in Deptford start with a free survey, at home or by video, and end in an individual quote. The survey looks at volume, stairs and floors, and where a van can stop, and it decides how many movers and vans you need (see our main removals page).
Which Crew and Van for Your Property
Our Luton box van measures 4.0 x 2.2 x 2.2 m inside, about 19 cubic metres, with a payload of 1,100 kg. One van usually takes a flat or house of up to two bedrooms in a single trip. A three-bedroom home may need a second van or a second trip, and the survey settles which. A third mover costs £20 an hour more and shortens long carries.
Tail Lift, Trolleys and Heavy Items
The vans carry blankets, trolleys, dollies and straps, and the crew wraps furniture before it goes in. Pianos go on dedicated trolleys and ramps through our piano moving service. Tell us about other heavy pieces, such as a safe or a large fridge-freezer, and ask before you book if your building or an item needs a hydraulic tail lift.
Packing, Dismantling and What Cover Excludes
Full packing uses our own materials and is priced after the survey. The crew dismantles and reassembles freestanding furniture such as beds and flat-pack wardrobes, and our furniture assembly service covers flat-pack and made-to-measure pieces. Built-in units, fixtures and appliance connections are not included unless we agree otherwise in writing. Under our terms, glass and china you pack yourself are covered up to £100, and unpacked wardrobe or drawer contents are not covered.
Man and Van Deptford: Van Services in Deptford by the Hour
Our man and van in Deptford is two movers and a Luton van for £80 an hour plus VAT, or three movers for £100. These van services in Deptford suit flat moves, student moves between rentals, a few large pieces or a sofa from a shop. A studio, a one-bed flat or a student room goes in one trip, and same-day jobs are possible depending on availability. The cab has two passenger seats, so you can ride along. Our main man and van page has more.
Looking for a man with a van in Deptford? Our hourly crews start at two movers, so there is no one-person option. Boxes of books or tools reach the weight limit before the van is full, so mention them when you book.
Furniture Delivery for Sofas, Beds and Wardrobes
Furniture delivery in Deptford is a short hourly job. The crew collects a sofa, bed or wardrobe from a shop, seller or relative and carries it up to your flat. The three-hour minimum applies even to one item (£288 with VAT), so combine pickups in one booking. Furniture collection and flat-pack assembly can be added.
Office Moves in SE8, Out of Hours or One Floor at a Time
Office moves in Deptford can run out of hours or at weekends, at a premium, so nobody loses a working day. Our office removals service covers phased moves, one floor or team at a time, and desk dismantling and reassembly. A small office with a few desks often fits a man and van booking. Servers are handled separately, so arrange disconnection with your IT supplier.
Storage Service With Collection From Your Deptford Door
Our storage service keeps your things in our own store in NW10, in containers of about 250 cubic feet watched by CCTV around the clock, for short or long periods. The van crew collects from your Deptford address and brings everything back when you are ready; prices are quoted on request. Storage with collection suits the gap between a sale and a purchase, a refurbishment or a downsize, and unlike a self-storage unit you carry nothing yourself. The store is in north-west London, so ask for the storage price and the van time together.
A Stress Free Move Day: Parking, Access and ULEZ in SE8
A stress free move in SE8 starts with finding out which council controls each street and applying for a bay suspension in time: at least five working days at Lewisham, ten at Greenwich.
Lewisham and Greenwich Bay Suspensions
Deptford is mostly in the London Borough of Lewisham, but the north-eastern corner around St Nicholas’ church is in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, and SE8 postcodes also touch Southwark near Rotherhithe. Check the council for both addresses.
| Council | Notice | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Lewisham | At least 5 working days | £62 admin per submission, plus £56 per pay-to-park or shared-use bay per day, or £62 per resident permit bay |
| Greenwich | 10 working days | £66.40 per bay per day, plus a £66.40 non-refundable admin fee |
Lewisham’s DP and DS zones run Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Zone S runs Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm, and on Saturdays from 9am to 1.30pm. Use Lewisham’s postcode lookup to find your zone, because rules vary street by street.
We can apply for the suspension if you ask at booking, and you pay the council fee. Lewisham wants the registration of every vehicle using the bays, so raise it early. We won’t park illegally, and fines from unarranged parking fall to the customer. Our guide to moving-day parking has the steps.
Market Days, Red Routes and the ULEZ
Deptford’s street market runs on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 9am to 5.30pm, and Lewisham closes Deptford High Street to traffic from 6am to 7pm on those days. For a High Street address, pick another day or ask us to plan a side-street approach. On a TfL red route you can load only in marked bays, for a limited time.
Deptford is inside the ULEZ, which covers every London borough 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day. A van that misses the standards pays £12.50 a day, so ask any company about its ULEZ compliance before you book.
Stairs, Lifts and Shared Entrances
Walk the route before you ask for a quote and note the floor, the lift, the width of communal stairwells and the carry from your door to where the van can stop. In a block with a lift, book it and the loading slot with the managing agent and send us the times. Tight stairs slow everything down, so leave a time buffer rather than changing plans on the day.
Why Hire an Insured Local Family Team
W & W Movers is a family-run company with its own movers and store, not a booking app that sends whichever driver is free. Goods in transit cover is up to £25,000 per removal van, with a £250 excess per claim. When you compare any Deptford removal company, ask which of the three policies below it holds and at what limits.
Goods in Transit, Public Liability and Hire and Reward Insurance Explained
| Policy | What it covers | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Goods in transit insurance | Your belongings against loss or damage in transit, subject to limits, exclusions and conditions | Paid at current value, not new for old |
| Public liability insurance | Third-party injury or property damage from the work | Not a legal requirement; building managers may ask for it |
| Hire and reward insurance | Motor cover for carrying goods for payment | Separate: goods in transit insurance does not replace it |
Employers’ liability is different: the law requires it for firms with staff, with cover of at least £5 million. We carry public liability and employers’ liability cover too, and the insurance summary lists our limits. Lorries over 3.5 tonnes gross plated weight usually need a goods vehicle operator licence; our Luton vans are 3.5 tonne vehicles. Claims follow the policy conditions and the excess, so declare valuable and fragile items when you ask for a quote.

Deptford SE8: Dockyard History, Market Street and Rail Links
Deptford combines a busy market high street with dockyard history and quick rail links across south-east London. Albury Street keeps houses built from 1706, Thomas Archer’s Baroque St Paul’s Church went up between 1712 and 1730, and Convoys Wharf, the site of Henry VIII’s Deptford Dockyard, has a masterplan for up to 3,500 homes. Deptford station on the Greenwich line is the oldest railway station in London still in use, and Deptford Bridge DLR station runs towards Greenwich and Bank.
Early 18th-century houses on Albury Street, Victorian houses towards Brockley and 1960s council housing on the Pepys Estate all sit around Deptford, so we survey every house move before we quote. Whether you are moving within SE8, across London or just outside it, get in touch for a free survey at home or by video and a plan that keeps moving house stress free.
