Reviews from customers who have booked through Compare The Man And Van.
Very efficient. Both the driver and his helper were very good. Worked fast. Squeezed everything into the van, even my upright piano (which they didn’t need any help with).
Great service. After a last minute cancellation from a different provider, this company picked up the job at a week’s notice and performed excellently. They were efficient and polite, couldn’t ask for anything more.
Bruno went above and beyond to help us out! And was very happy to do so :)
Yes - and so friendly
He was very polite, calm and did his work with such a great compodh
Very patient with the issues we had loading in to the loading bays, very frustrating for us all but the guys were great.

Our trusted drivers know Southwark’s mix of busier routes, controlled parking, and estate or apartment access. That is useful where building layout, parking, or loading access can vary from one address to the next.
What to keep in mind when moving in Southwark
Southwark combines very dense housing, busy arterial roads and tightly managed parking streets. Stopping space, building access and traffic can all make a short local job less straightforward than it first looks.
Flats and estates shape access
A large share of homes are flats within purpose-built blocks or housing estates, where building entrances, shared stairwells and internal layouts can affect loading.
Controlled parking is common
Many residential areas operate controlled parking zones, especially near busier centres such as London Bridge and Peckham, so checking stopping space in advance can help avoid delays.
Busy roads affect timing
Major routes and transport hubs can bring heavier traffic at certain times of day, so allowing for local delays can help keep arrival and loading plans more realistic.
