Man and van recommendations wanted!

Hi

I'm looking for a man and van to help me with a very light removal on Saturday (I'm moving from one furnished property to another so just have bags and boxes and a small collection of bedside tables!).

Moving from Herne Hill to Denmark Hill.

Does anyone have any recommendations of someone good and reasonably priced (any indications of price paid much appreciated)

Thanks very much

Hi Joanna,


I just used David this evening actually, who has a small van and helped me collect an item I bought on ebay and was very helpful indeed. He's ?25 an hour. He's friendly and reliable. I would definitely use him again. He's based in Forest Hill. perhaps try him. Contact is David Marshall, on 07972 596192. Or email: [email protected]. He is on the forum under Odd jobs and man and van. Good luck with your move.

Thanks very much everybody for the recommendations. I used Kevin (07818568095) as a couple of people suggested and would highly recommend him - he was really punctual, friendly and helpful. The van was more than big enough to cope with having about twice as much stuff as I thought and he was really nice about it! Price extremely reasonable too.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
