Quick answer
How much does man and van cost in Pimlico?
Man and van is the usual Pimlico move: a studio in a converted terrace, a sofa from the Pimlico Road dealers, a few boxes to storage between tenancies. A small van on a timed bay keeps a two-hour job at two hours.
Pimlico removals are basement and upper-floor flats in converted stucco terraces with no lift, Dolphin Square with porters and a service road, and the Churchill Gardens and Lillington estates with gated courtyards.
We size the crew from your floor level and a photo of the stairs, plan a Westminster suspension for full moves and a timed bay for single items, and arrange Dolphin Square slots through the estate.
Share postcodes, floor levels, parking notes and bulky-item photos by email — we will confirm the right van, helpers and hourly or fixed option before you book.
- ULEZ Exempt: Fully compliant Euro 6 vehicles with £0 emission charges.
- Dynamic Access Planning: Access checked against Pimlico road width and parking regulations.
- Local Authority Suspensions: Bays here are run by Westminster City Council. We tell you which one to suspend and for how long, so the van is at the door.
- Congestion Charge: The address sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, which keeps the day simpler; ULEZ still applies and our vans are compliant.
- Factual Pricing: Pre-fixed and hourly rates with no surprise high-floor fees.
Local knowledge
Moving in Pimlico: what changes the job
The address sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, which keeps the day simpler; ULEZ still applies and our vans are compliant.
Pimlico's streets are Westminster resident bays with short pay-and-display stays, and Vauxhall Bridge Road along the edge is a red route. For a full flat move we recommend a suspension at the door; for a single item a timed bay a street away usually does. Send a kerb photo and we tell you which.
Most Pimlico homes are flats in converted terraces: a basement with its own steps down, or an upper floor up a staircase that narrows as it climbs. We size the crew from your floor level and measure sofas and wardrobes against the stair turn from photos.
Dolphin Square has its own service road, porters and lift bookings; Churchill Gardens, Lillington and Longmoore Gardens are council and Peabody estates with gated courtyards and lift towers. Tell us the block and we plan the carry from the right entrance.
Pimlico sits west and south of Vauxhall Bridge Road, outside the Congestion Charge boundary. If your other address is inside the zone we say so on the quote. ULEZ applies and our vans are compliant.

Driver-only man and van hire starts from £90 for the first 2 hours, then £45/hr. With one helper, bookings usually start from £110 for the first 2 hours, then £65/hr. Medium or Luton options with more help start from £150 / 2hrs when the load is bulkier. Fuel, ULEZ, blankets, straps and standard insurance cover are included in the quote structure — no hidden weekend premium. The right price depends on item list, stairs, parking carry and distance. Send both postcodes and a few photos by email and we will confirm driver-only vs helper support before the clock starts. Man and van is the usual Pimlico move: a studio in a converted terrace, a sofa from the Pimlico Road dealers, a few boxes to storage between tenancies. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
Yes. Basement flats have their own steps down from the street and a door that is often narrower than the one above. We measure the large pieces against it from photos, plan the carry and bring the right number of hands.
Yes. Dolphin Square has porters, a service road and lift bookings; we arrange the slot through the estate, use the service road and run the move to the window we are given.
No. Pimlico sits outside the current boundary, which runs along Vauxhall Bridge Road. If your other address is inside the zone we say so on the quote. ULEZ applies everywhere and our vans are compliant.
Yes. Even on driver-only jobs the driver helps with loading and unloading within safe limits. If you have stairs, heavy sofas, appliances or a long carry from the van, adding one or two helpers is usually faster and better value than stretching a light crew. We recommend the crew size from your photos and access notes so you are not under-booked on move day. Room-of-choice placement is part of normal assisted jobs where access allows. If you only have light boxes and need van space, with the driver helping to load, say so — that is exactly when the £90 entry option makes sense.

Often yes when a van and crew are free — a call is the fastest check. Same-day works best for smaller inventories, student rooms, marketplace collections and short local runs with clear photos. Send pickup and delivery postcodes, item list, floor levels and parking notes as early as you can. We operate 8am–10pm, seven days a week, but peak evenings fill first. If today is tight, we will be honest about the next open slot instead of promising a crew we cannot send.
