Gravesend man and van: town, villages and the river
Gravesend faces Tilbury across the Thames in north-west Kent. To the south lie the DA13 villages of Meopham, Istead Rise, Vigo and Southfleet, so a man-and-van job here can mean a town address at one end and a village at the other.
The foot ferry between Gravesend and Tilbury has not run since April 2024, so anything going to Essex goes by road over the Dartford Crossing. One of the route prices below is exactly that run, Gravesend to Grays.
Small jobs here are priced on what you list, not by the hour: one sofa, a bed, a few boxes or a studio flat. If the list grows into a whole home, the same quote prices it as a removal.

Man and van from £100
A single item starts from £100 in the national table. Between DA12 and DA13 our engine priced a 3-seater sofa at £115, and a 1-bed flat at £310; your own price depends on what is moving, the access and the date.
These are our published starting prices for a local move, the same in Gravesend as anywhere else in the UK. Bigger loads move up the table, and your quote prices the van and team your load needs.
| Move size | Local moves from |
|---|---|
| Single item or man & van | £100 |
| Man and van (small load) | £100 |
| Studio flat | £270 |
| 1-bed flat | £310 |
| 2-bed flat | £605 |
| 3-bed house | £1,050 |
| 4-bed house | £1,480 |
| 5+ bed house | £2,335 |
Longer moves are priced by distance — your quote shows the exact fixed price before you book.
Prices include VAT and are for a typical home on a short local move, Monday to Thursday mid-month. Your price depends on your items, access and date. Your exact price is fixed before you book, and any toll or crossing charges on your route are shown as their own line — never added afterwards.

What shapes a Gravesend man-and-van price
Loading bays and taxi ranks
Gravesham's loading bays are marked with white lines, lettering and a sign; with no times on the sign, they apply all day, and some become taxi ranks overnight. Read the sign before the van stops.
Two-hour street parking
On-street pay parking in Gravesham allows up to two hours, charged during the day from Monday to Saturday. A quick single-item job fits; a longer one needs a different stopping point.
Woolwich and the ULEZ
Gravesend is in Kent, outside the ULEZ, but Woolwich is in a London borough and inside it. Any charge for the van on a London run is shown in the quote as its own line.
Your date
Pick the date in the quote to see the price for that day. The earliest you can book is the next day.

Man and van in Gravesend — straight answers
Common questions on man-and-van pricing, what fits, and how Movesmith works.
How much is a man and van in Gravesend?
Our engine priced a 3-seater sofa from DA12 to DA13 at £115, fixed. Your own figure depends on what you list, the floors and the carry, and you see it before you book.
Is it an hourly rate?
No. Your Gravesend job is priced once from the items, addresses and access, and stays fixed while they match. The earliest you can book is the next day.
Can you move things from Gravesend to Grays or Essex?
Yes, by road over the Dartford Crossing; the Tilbury ferry is not running. The route prices on this page include Gravesend to Grays, and any Dart Charge is shown in the quote as its own line.
Are there moving teams near Gravesend?
Approved moving operators are based within about 20 miles of Gravesend; the count on this page comes from our records. We check for a suitable vetted team for your date before you book, and your team is confirmed once they accept.
Can the van use a loading bay in Gravesend?
Loading bays are marked with white lines, lettering and a sign. Read the sign: with no times shown the bay applies all day, and some become taxi ranks overnight.
What parking and access details do I need to provide?
Tell us separately about pickup and delivery: choose where the van can park lawfully, then give the carry distance, floor, lift, stairs and any awkward access. A private driveway or unrestricted street selection is enough by itself. For permit-controlled, paid or loading-bay parking, also give who is arranging it, whether it is confirmed, its operating window and the exact lawful position. Unknown or unsupported access is reviewed before we offer a fixed price, and a carry of 50 metres or more needs a tailored review. Do not enter gate codes, passwords or access credentials in the booking.
What happens if parking or access is different on moving day?
If there is no lawful parking, furniture does not fit, access is unsafe, unplanned dismantling is needed or delivery cannot be completed, the operator pauses the affected work and sends Movesmith a structured report with evidence. The operator cannot invent a charge or take cash at the door. Movesmith reviews the facts and, if the job needs to change, sends you a fixed proposal. Extra work or payment happens only after you expressly approve it; if you reject it, there is no variation charge and Ops arranges the safe next step, rebooking or a fresh quote.
