Coronavirus Transportation Precautions

Due to the coronavirus (Covid 19) pandemic, we would like to make you aware of temporary measures we are taking in order to protect our team and our clients. These guidelines will be amended on the 15th of June 2020.  If you are moving house after the 15th of June 2020, please read our New Guidelines For Moving House During the Coronavirus (Covid 19) Pandemic.

We are continuing to provide man with a van services to our clients throughout the government lock down and the coronavirus (Covid 19) pandemic. We are however, following social distancing guidelines and we have put some extra precautions in place to help prevent the spread of the virus and save lives. The government has not banned moving house.  Advice from the government is to delay moving home – if possible. You can read government advice about moving house during the lock down here.

All of our removals operatives have been provided with disposable gloves, masks and protective overalls. They have been advised to wear a new pair of gloves every time they load, and every time they unload. Masks and overalls could be worn at our clients request, or if any of our team feel it to be necessary.

The front and back of our vans are currently being cleaned and sanitised after every job – this is to help ensure that they are free from any contamination, ready to transport our next clients items safely.

During the government lock down, for the safety of our team and our clients, we are only carrying out contactless removals and contactless same day courier services.

Contactless means – a two metre gap or more that must be maintained between any of our team, our client, and anyone connected to our client throughout the process.

We advise and ask all of our clients to:

1. Book in advance wherever possible to avoid disappointment.

2. Pack responsibly – Please make sure everything is packed in either boxes or plastic bags. No loose bedding or clothing will be accepted.

3. Transport food separately – Please note we can only transport frozen or chilled foods for a maximum of 30 minutes. Our vans are not refrigerated. Please transport frozen or chilled foods on a separate refrigerated vehicle if possible, or take it with you in your own vehicle or on public transport.

4. Book a two man service – If you have any large furniture or similar size items that need to be moved, you are required to book a two man service. Our drivers are not currently permitted to carry any large heavy items without a fellow colleague. Alternatively, two people from the same household can load and unload these items themselves without assistance from the driver.

5. Keep it contactless – Please keep a two metre distance or more from our team at all times and do not touch or shake hands.

6. Arrange for your own personal transportation – We are currently unable to take any passengers. This is due to the seating space in our vans not complying with the social distancing guidelines. Please travel in your own vehicle. If you or anyone in your household does not have one, we recommend you travel using public transport at off peak times when the social distancing guidelines can most likely be complied with.

7. Don’t book if you have coronavirus – If you have a cough, a temperature or if you have been in contact with anyone with these symptoms within the past 30 days, please do not book our services until you have followed the self isolation guidelines. You can find the self isolation guidelines and advice from the NHS here.  If you have already booked with us, please let a member of our team know as soon as possible so we can freeze your booking until you are ready to move.

We thank you very much for your cooperation and we really appreciate your business.

How much does it cost to hire a man with a van?

Man and van service providers in the UK charge between £25 per hour to £50 per hour per man. Any stairs are charged additionally between £5 to £10 per flight per man. Mileage is charged between £1 to £2.50 per mile and it is usually a requirement to book for a minimum of two hours.

When it comes to choosing a man with a van, it is important to do some research on the service provider before deciding to book.  It is also important to be wary of any service providers that quote really low prices. It is a unfortunate fact that many man and van service providers have a reputation for not turning up to jobs.  Many people end up being stranded on moving day due to no shows and getting it rectified can cause delays. It can be very stressful to deal with a no show and at times it can be very problematic finding another van.  It often works out significantly more expensive to resolve a cheap man and van no show, than to book with a reputable service provider in the first place.

The main reason why these “budget” service providers do not turn up, is because they only have one van. Many people attempt to do this as a “thing on the side” – it is not their main line of work.  They usually have an old rusty unreliable van without the correct legally required insurance, and they see an opportunity to undercut other professionals in the industry.

The thing is, there are many problems that can arise on moving day. The most common reason “budget” service providers do not turn up is because they get held up on a previous job. Sometimes this can be due to their own incompetence, and other times it can be down to unexpected issues like new landlords or tenants being unable to obtain keys to their new properties.  The bottom line is, if the cheap man only has one van, it is highly likely that a cancellation, no show, or a delay will occur.

Another problem with choosing a cheap man with a van is the lack of reputation. Usually a cheap man and van has no experience, no manager, no support and many have no feedback history. It is important to be wary who you let into your home or office. It is highly likely that a budget man with a van will arrive at your doorstep late and rude wearing a baseball cap and a pair of jeans. They could be an illegal immigrant, or even worse they could be a recently released prisoner. They could be inexperienced and damage or even steal your most prized possessions. 

At ePenny Logistics we understand the flaws in the man and van industry in London and we are working hard to improve the level of service that London residents and businesses receive.  Over the past 5 years we have built up a fleet of late vehicles and we now have a highly experienced workforce who are dedicated to providing the best possible service at the most economical pricing.

All of our removals operatives are carefully vetted, fully trained and they are managed via our radio controlled office.  All vehicles are tracked and every job gets monitored by one of our controllers from start to finish. All of our removals operatives wear a uniform and they always carry photo identification. This not only gives our clients reassurance – but it also takes the level of our removals operations and standards to a completely different league compared to our one man band competitors.

We now provide our man and van services to a large number of businesses and government organisations as well as end users who need to move their own personal items.  If you are interested in booking a reliable a man with a van, please do not hesitate to call a friendly member of our London based sales team now on 0208 099 7448.

Man and Van Removals in North London

If you are looking for a man and van in North London, it’s important to do a bit of research on the removal company first before booking. Many self employed van drivers who advertise on classified ad websites and who undercut professional removal firms in the market, lack the required vital experience and expertise to do the job.

Most independent self employed van drivers do not have the correct insurance such as public liability or goods in transit, and many have not been background checked.  It’s great to get a cheap price on a removal, but if it’s too cheap, people should be wary and question why it is so cheap. If it’s too good to be true, it usually is.

At ePenny Logistics, we ensure that all of our removalists are managed, thoroughly trained and background checked. All of our vehicles are late reliable models, and they are fully equipped with the necessary tools and equipment to get the job done.

We have years of experience in the industry and we take pride in what we do.  We have earned an outstanding reputation in the industry, particularly in North London where we have earned a 10 out of 10 excellent rating from our clients which include Barnet Council, Stop the War Coalition and P Davies Joinery.

Our best man and van removal rates are in North London. Areas include Bounds Green, Wood Green, Haringey, Tottenham, Stamford Hill, Southgate, Palmers Green, Muswell Hill, Hornsey and Enfield.

Our fleet of vans include small vans, medium vans, large vans and giant luton vans. Prices start from £20 per hour for a small van self loading or £30 per hour for a giant luton van self loading. It’s a minimum two hour booking.

We cover the entire UK including London removals to Birmingham, Oxford, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle and Scotland.
