Man and Van Tilbury
Moving a house, changing a room or arranging a bulky collection? Our man and van service in Tilbury provides a suitable vehicle and the lifting help needed at both addresses.
Tell us about the furniture, boxes and appliances, plus access at collection and delivery. We can plan a local move, storage transfer or longer journey, with the van, crew and costs explained before booking.
Evening and weekend options are available by arrangement. Your quote explains the vehicle, crew and costs before you confirm.
Man and Van Services in Tilbury
Choose moving help for your Tilbury job, from a few boxes to a complete flat or house inventory. Packing and suitable furniture preparation can be quoted in advance.
House & Flat Moves
Moving a flat, a family home or selected household items in Tilbury? Include every room, appliance and stored item being taken. We assess the complete load and both properties before suggesting a van and crew.
Single Item & Furniture
Collect a sofa, bed, wardrobe, appliance or other bulky item from a shop or private seller. Share dimensions, collection times and access at both ends, so we can plan a Tilbury furniture delivery without last-minute surprises.
Office & Small Business
Move desks, equipment, documents, shelving or boxed stock between Tilbury premises and nearby areas. Identify the goods entrance and building contact, and agree any loading slot or out-of-hours access before the booking.
Student & Room Moves
A room move can combine boxes, luggage, a desk and smaller furniture. Tell us about shared entrances, stairs and your key handover. We can quote for journeys between home, rented accommodation and storage when dates do not line up.
Storage Moves
Taking household belongings into storage, or collecting them for a new home? Provide the facility address, unit location, opening or access hours and lift details. Separate the items for each destination if storage is one stop on a larger move.
Long-Distance Removals
Moving from Tilbury to another UK town or city? We arrange UK journeys around your inventory and destination. Your quote sets out the van, crew, working time, chargeable mileage and any relevant route costs before you decide.
Packing and Furniture Help
For a Tilbury house or flat move, packing ahead and preparing larger furniture can make loading smoother. Ask about help with selected rooms, fragile items, beds or wardrobes, and send photographs so the work can be included in the quote.
See our packing service and furniture dismantling and assembly options for more details.
Man and Van Tilbury Prices
| Service | Ground/Lift | Stairs |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Man + LWB Van | £60/h | £70/h |
| 1 Man + Luton Van | £70/h | £80/h |
| 2 Men + LWB Van | £90/h | £100/h |
| 2 Men + Luton Van | £100/h | £110/h |
Minimum: 2 hours. After the first 2 hours, additional time is charged in 30-minute blocks, at the additional-time rate confirmed in your quote. For example, with one mover and an LWB van at £60/h, an extra 30 minutes costs £30. Longer routes are charged at the hourly rate plus approximately £1 per mile. Parking, waiting and applicable city charges can be separate.
What Affects the Price in Tilbury?
What You're Moving
List the actual furniture and cartons, including garage, shed and garden contents. A small town-centre flat and a furnished family house can need different capacity and working time.
How Many Movers
Choose lifting help for the heaviest items and the carrying route. Two movers may be more practical for a wardrobe, washing machine or upstairs move without customer lifting assistance.
Parking and Access
Driveways, apartment entrances, stairs and longer walks from the van affect the job. Confirm a lawful loading position and any lift booking before moving day.
Distance and Extra Stops
Include every collection, storage and delivery postcode. Working time, agreed mileage and any applicable London or other route charges form part of the quotation.
Tilbury Moving Price Examples
See how the hourly rates translate into a moving cost. Each example uses an assumed duration for loading, travel and unloading. Your quote is based on your actual items, route and access.
Examples assume packed items, clear loading access and ground-floor or usable lift access, unless stairs are stated.
| Example Move | Van & Movers | Time × Hourly Rate | Time Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small furniture collectionA few manageable items collected locally in Tilbury | 1 mover + LWB van | 2 hours × £60/h | £120 |
| Student room movePacked boxes, bags and a bike between addresses in Tilbury | 1 mover + LWB van | 3 hours × £60/h | £180 |
| Larger room or storage loadLight furniture and boxes needing more van space | 1 mover + Luton van | 3 hours × £70/h | £210 |
| One-bedroom flat exampleFurniture and packed boxes, with lift access in Tilbury | 2 movers + LWB van | 3 hours × £90/h | £270 |
| Upstairs flat exampleA similar load with stairs at one or both addresses | 2 movers + LWB van | 3 hours × £100/h (stairs rate) | £300 |
| Two-bedroom home exampleHousehold furniture and packed boxes in Tilbury | 2 movers + Luton van | 4 hours × £100/h | £400 |
| Larger household loadMore furniture and boxes, with six working hours assumed | 2 movers + Luton van | 6 hours × £100/h | £600 |
These are illustrative time charges, not fixed prices for an entire room, flat or house. Mileage, parking, applicable city charges and agreed extra work are additional where relevant. A larger load, extra trip, long carry or delayed keys can increase the time. Confirm the estimated duration and additional-time billing in your quote.
How the Two-Hour Minimum Works
If a ground-floor collection with one mover and an LWB van takes one hour, the minimum time charge is still 2 × £60 = £120. After the first two hours, you pay for additional time in 30-minute blocks. At £60/h, each extra block costs £30, so a 2.5-hour move costs £120 + £30 = £150, before applicable extras.
How Stairs Change the Price
Two movers with an LWB van cost £90/h for ground-floor or lift access and £100/h for stairs. For the same three-hour example, that is £270 with lift access or £300 with stairs. Difficult access may also add working time.
A Longer-Journey Calculation
Assume five total working hours with two movers and a Luton van: 5 × £100 = £500. If the quote includes 80 chargeable miles at £1/mile, add £80: £580 before other extras. The route, chargeable mileage and mileage rate must be confirmed in your quote.
Choose Your Van and Moving Team
Tell us what you're moving and how it will leave and enter each property. We match the vehicle to the inventory rather than assuming every Tilbury flat or house needs the same van.
Small Van • approx. 6 m³
For boxes, luggage, a student room or a compact collection, subject to the dimensions and weight of the items.
LWB Van • approx. 13 m³
Useful for many local flat moves, room changes and medium furniture loads. Check the whole inventory, including appliances and packed cartons.
Luton Van • approx. 16 m³
More space for bulky furniture and larger household loads. A full home may need extra trips or another vehicle; we agree capacity after reviewing your list.
Vehicle measurements are approximate and can vary by Service Provider.
When One Mover Makes Sense
A room move or a few manageable items may only need one mover. If you intend to help, agree this when booking and tell us about any item that cannot be carried safely by one person.
When to Book Two Movers
Choose two movers for heavy furniture, awkward stairs or when you want the team to handle the lifting. A second mover improves handling options but does not increase the van's capacity.

Moving Around Tilbury: Streets, Homes and Access
The loading position, entrance and furniture route matter as much as the postcode. These local checks help us plan the van and lifting work.

For a move using the wider A1089 connections, provide all addresses and any extra stop. Your quote confirms the agreed working time, chargeable mileage and relevant route or crossing costs before booking.
Parking for your Tilbury move. Read local parking guidance and check with Thurrock Council or the responsible highway authority; arrange controlled-site access with the occupier. Ask about any permission needed for the precise date and location. Arrange private bays and service-lift slots separately with management.
