Good company and even helped us move when traffic delayed him
Communication on the day great. It had taken us an hour and a half to finish off our packing between three of us -and we'd still be there now I think, faffing about, but when Aimen (our man with a van) came he took over and organised us into an efficient team; one person carrying to lift, one in lift, one in lobby etc...we suddenly got into a rhythm which saw all our furniture and infinite amount of laundry bags into his van in 20 minutes. He also - I am pleased to say - remained calm with the security guard trying to get him to park half a mile away. A smile and a promise to be quick (he was - and how) and the security guy was ok with it all, even urging us to 'take our time - don't rush'. Made light work of the traffic and the long drive between flats...helped to get bags and furniture off van but couldn't help us further as the agent wouldn't let us in as he was completing a 90 min itinerary at the new flat. Not Amen's fault that he couldn't finish the job and help to get the stuff inside. Overall, calm, polite and super efficient.
It was great! Helpful and respectful. I did enjoy the journey! I would recommend him!
The driver was great, really hardworking, helpful and courteous. He helped us to disassemble a wardrobe we were struggling with too.
U Movers UK were brilliant, friendly, professional and completed the move within time.
Driver arrived early and packed the van very efficiently. I thought we might have needed two hours but we were done in less than one hour! Will definitely book again next time I move :)
Great service from my driver who helped me move from South London to Leeds. He was on time, really helpful when loading and unloading and changed route when we asked him to as his sat nav was taking us a longer way round. Thanks for making my big move a lot easier than I thought it would be!
Edward arrived a little late, but it went very smoothly from there. What was most impressive was that he is an extraordinary person who is doing the service for charity. Was great meeting him!
Frank was great. Friendly, professional, punctual (arrived 5 min early), brought a bigger van than I booked as I didn’t know what size I needed, helped us move everything including a heavy sofa down 4 flights of stairs, let us (2 passengers) ride in the van with him. I would definitely use Frank again in future.

Planning a Catford move
Catford combines town-centre flats, converted homes and residential streets around SE6. Building access, furniture size and stopping space are usually the details that shape the right van and help level.
Town-centre access
Busier roads and limited stopping space can make it worth giving clear collection and delivery details before comparing drivers.
Flats and conversions
Shared entrances, stairs and converted layouts can affect how direct loading feels, even when the move itself is local.
Furniture-led jobs
A sofa, wardrobe or bed collection may need more van space and lifting help than a small boxed move.
For broader planning advice, see our London moving guides.

What affects the cost of a man and van in Catford?
Your quote is shaped by the details you choose — so you only pay for what your move needs. Enter your move information to see available options based on van size, level of help and distance between addresses.
The main things that change your quote
Choosing the right size van helps ensure your move runs efficiently without paying for more space than you need.
Choose driver-only for a lower-cost option, or add extra help with loading and unloading if needed.
The distance between addresses and the time needed to safely load and unload your items both play a role.
Common Catford factors to consider
Stairs, lifts, long corridors, tight entrances and parking distance can affect loading time and how your move is carried out.
Peak days and busy time slots can affect both price and availability.
Your route is estimated from your postcodes, but peak-time traffic can still influence travel time between addresses.
Clear pricing, with no hidden extras.
Not sure on timings, van size, or how much help you’ll need? Adding a small buffer upfront is usually easier — and less stressful — than changing things on the day.
