If you are moving a few items, a small flat or student room, a man with a van is usually the cheaper and quicker option. If you are moving a full house, need packing, or want two or more people doing the lifting, a full removal service is the better fit.
Man with a van is best for
- Single items, such as a sofa, bed, fridge or a Facebook Marketplace collection
- Studio flats, bedsits and student rooms
- A few boxes going to or from storage
- Jobs where you are happy to help carry
Our man and van hire starts from £99 for 2 hours, with half-day and full-day options for bigger loads.
A full removal service is best for
- 2, 3 and 4-bedroom homes
- Moves with heavy or awkward furniture, such as large wardrobes or American fridge freezers
- Anyone who wants the team to do all the lifting, loading and unloading
- Moves that need packing, furniture taking apart and putting back together, or storage
As a guide, our house moves start from £349 for a 1-bedroom home, £549 for 2 bedrooms and £799 for 3 bedrooms. Your exact price depends on distance, stairs, access and how much you have.
Questions to ask either way
- Are my belongings insured while they are being moved? (Ours are: every job carries goods-in-transit and public liability insurance.)
- Is the price fixed, or charged by the hour?
- How many people are coming, and what size van?
- Are there any extra charges for stairs, parking or weekends?
