Removals and man and van from £55 an hour
Monster Cleaning runs removals across London, Liverpool and Manchester and the areas around them. A man and van costs £55 an hour, two movers £85 and three movers £100, and flat moves come at a fixed price: a one-bed from £255, a two-bed from £425. Moving out of a rental? We can clean the empty flat the same day or the next.
The clock starts when the crew arrives, not when the van leaves the yard, and there is no call-out fee inside the M25. Blankets, straps, trolleys and floor runners come on every move, and so does taking apart and rebuilding the beds and wardrobes. Ring 0333 555 2076 between 8am and 7pm, any day of the week, with both postcodes and your date.

|---|---|---|
| Studio flat | £170 | two movers, about 2 hours |
| One bedroom | £255 | two movers, about 3 hours |
| Two bedrooms | £425 | two movers, about 5 hours |
| Three bedrooms | £700 | three movers, about 7 hours |
| Four bedrooms | £950 | after a short video call |
Fixed prices include stairs up to the second floor; above that, with no lift, it’s £17 a floor. On hourly moves there is no stairs fee, because the stairs are already in the time. Heavy items cost £15 to £55 each (an American fridge-freezer or a range cooker, for example), and an upright piano on the ground floor starts at £150. If the van needs a paid bay or the move is in the congestion zone, we add what that costs us and nothing more. The price is the same on a Saturday as on a Tuesday.

Moving out of a rental: the van in the morning, the clean in the afternoon
A tenant has to hand back a flat that is empty and clean, often inside the same day. Our moving house checklist runs from eight weeks out to moving day. Book the two with different firms and you spend the morning ringing one to ask when the other is leaving. Book both with us and it runs as one job: the van loads first thing, the cleaners arrive once the last box is out, and the keys can go back to the agent that evening. If the move runs late or the check-out is the next day, we clean the next morning instead.
The order matters. Cleaners can only reach the floor under the bed and the wall behind the wardrobe once the furniture has gone, and a crew carrying boxes through a freshly mopped hallway undoes the work. Moving first and cleaning second gets both jobs done properly.
The clean is our end of tenancy clean, priced by the size of the property:
| Property | End of tenancy clean |
|---|---|
| Studio flat | £156 |
| One bedroom | £207 |
| Two bedrooms | £243 |
| Three bedrooms | £339 |
| Four bedrooms | £425 |
If the letting agent flags anything within 48 hours of the clean, we come back and re-clean it free. More than 300 letting agents work with us. The oven is an add-on from £31 (see oven cleaning), and carpets cost less when they’re booked with the clean: £29 a bedroom and £36 a living room (see carpet cleaning).
If the new place needs work too, a deep clean the day before the van arrives starts at £186. Empty rooms clean far quicker than rooms full of your own furniture.
What comes with every move
Every booking comes with the van, the fuel, the crew you chose and the kit a move needs:
- blankets over the furniture and straps to hold it steady in transit
- trolleys for the heavy pieces
- runners on the floors at both ends, so nobody walks mud through a house that has just been cleaned
- beds, wardrobes, dining tables and flatpack units taken apart and put back together at the other end, inside the time you’ve booked
- the cardboard taken away afterwards, if you want it gone
Tell us about anything awkward when you book: a large mirror, a marble top, framed art, antique furniture, a wardrobe fixed to the wall. It changes the kit we bring, and sometimes the crew.
Packing, boxes and unpacking
Packing is the part of a move that always overruns, usually at midnight the night before. We can do it for you at £35 an hour per packer, either the whole home the day before the move or just the kitchen and the fragile things while you do the rest. Unpacking at the other end is booked the same way, and people often add it for elderly parents or for anyone moving at a hard time.
If you’d rather pack yourself, we bring the materials with the van:
Small box
£3
Large box
£4
Wardrobe box
£15
Packing tape
per roll
£2.50
Bubble wrap
20 metres
£10
Boxes you don’t use go back with us.
A man and van is a van and driver hired by the hour
A man and van service is a van with a driver, hired by the hour, for loads too small to need a full removals crew: a single sofa, a student’s room, a few pieces bought second-hand. Add movers and the same booking becomes a removals crew, which is what a flat or house full of furniture needs. So you choose on how much there is to move and how heavy it is.
| Crew | Per hour | Usually suits |
|---|---|---|
| Man and van | £55 | A few pieces of furniture or a light studio load, with you helping at both ends |
| Two movers and a van | £85 | Studio to two-bed flats, and anything heavy or needing taking apart |
| Three movers and a van | £100 | Three bedrooms and up, houses and offices |
As a rough guide, a single item or small load takes one to two hours, a studio about two with two movers, a one-bed about three, a two-bed about five and a three-bed about seven with three movers. A four-bed house is a full day. Stairs without a lift, a long carry from the kerb and a lot of dismantling all add time. If it’s one heavy thing up four flights, say so on the phone, because that changes who we send.
Booking a removal
Tell us about the move. Call 0333 555 2076, 8am to 7pm, seven days a week, with the date, both postcodes, the size of the home, the floor and lift at each end, where the van can park, any heavy items and whether you want packing.
Get a fixed price in writing. For a flat up to two bedrooms we send a written price within the hour during office hours. For three bedrooms and up we do a ten-minute video call first, then send the price the same day.
Hold the date. A 50% deposit holds your slot. You can change the date for free up to 48 hours before. End-of-month Saturdays fill first, so ring early if yours falls on one.
Sort the parking. If there’s no easy parking outside either address, most councils will suspend the bays for the day if you apply in advance. It saves the crew a long walk with every box.
Moving day. We text the arrival window the day before. The crew covers the furniture, puts the runners down and loads. At the new place they unload, rebuild what they took apart, and leave once you’ve walked round and everything is where you want it.
Before moving day
Clear out what you don’t want before the van comes. You pay by the hour or by the size of the load, and a box of things you’ll throw away in six months takes as long to carry as a box you love.
Pack an essentials box last and label it: kettle, mugs, teabags, loo roll, phone chargers, a change of clothes, the children’s bedtime things. It is unloaded first, and at 10pm you’ll be glad of it. On the day, photograph the meter readings at both properties. It takes thirty seconds and settles any argument with the energy supplier later.
Office moves
We move offices in the evenings and at weekends, so your team isn’t sitting among boxes during working hours. Desks, chairs, pedestals, filing cabinets and comms kit are labelled at the old office and go back to the right desk at the new one. Your IT team disconnects the hardware and plugs it back in; we carry it safely in between. We book the service lift and loading bay with building management at both ends. Once the old space is empty, we can clean it: see commercial cleaning.
Trusting a crew with your things
The right kit on every move. Blankets, straps, trolleys and floor runners come with every booking, and beds and wardrobes are taken apart and rebuilt inside your time. Tell us about anything valuable or awkward when you book.
A fixed price before the day. The written price names the crew, the hours or the fixed fee, and any heavy items. Nothing is added on the day that wasn’t in it.

One booking for the move and the clean. One phone call and one team working out the timings, so the cleaners arrive after the van has gone.
Removals questions
How much does a man and van cost?
£55 an hour for a van and a driver who loads with you, £85 with two movers and £100 with three. The shortest booking is two hours (three with three movers), then it goes in half hours. The clock starts when we arrive, and there is no call-out fee inside the M25.
How much does it cost to move a two-bed flat?
From £425 as a fixed price, which is two movers for about five hours. The written price we send before the day is the price you pay, unless the load changes.
How far ahead should I book a removal?
For a weekday move, one to two weeks is usually enough. For the last Saturday of the month, book three to four weeks ahead if you can, because it’s the busiest moving day of the month and it fills first. If your date can move, a midweek morning is the easiest slot to get.
Do you take furniture apart and put it back together?
Yes, and it’s inside the time you’ve booked. Beds, wardrobes, dining tables, desks and flatpack units come apart at one end and go back together at the other. For a fitted wardrobe that has to come off the wall, or a solid table with hidden fixings, mention it when you book so the crew brings the right tools.
Can you move me out and clean the flat on the same day?
Yes. The van loads in the morning, the cleaners start once the flat is empty, and the keys can go back to the agent that evening. If the day runs long, we clean the next morning. You book both on one call.
Do you move pianos?
Upright and digital pianos, yes, from £150 on the ground floor. Grand pianos, large pool tables and heavy safes need a specialist mover, and we’ll tell you when you ring.
How do I pay?
A 50% deposit holds your date, and the rest is due once the move is done.
Ring 0333 555 2076 with both postcodes and your date, and we’ll send you a written price. If you’re leaving a rental, price the clean in the calculator at the top of the page and we’ll fit it around the van.
