When using a Man and Van London make sure before booking him that they have the necessary insurance to protect your property. Should their van be involved in an accident and your contents get damaged you want to know, beforehand, that you are covered by their insurance. Don’t be afraid to ask to view their insurance when his arrives and before you put anything into his van and certainly before you have paid anything. 

When searching for a Man and Van London it is usually a one man working on his won. So if the contents you want moving are heavy then you should be prepared not only to help him load his van when he collects but also have somebody at the other end to help unload the van too. 

Obviously a Man and Van London search implies just one person working on their own, but if you know that he will need additional help with the loading and unloading then be fair to him and tell him this. He possibly has friends who help out occasionally but you will obviously need to expect to pay a higher fee if two people are going to be needed compared with smaller items which he could move on his own. 

When calling your chosen Man and Van London he will obviously need to know where the items are presently, where they are going to and what time of day you want the move conducted. Usually the prices will be cheaper during the day as opposed to weekends or evenings. 

But like with many private arrangements, there should always be the possibility of negotiating with the man and see if there are any deals he can do. You never know he may be going to a nearby area on a certain day and if he can do both deliveries in the one journey then he can afford to offset his savings by giving a lower price to gain the booking.
