When do you need a Man and van?

You should book this service whenever your items are too big for a normal car. The law requires drivers to follow safety rules for heavy loads, so it is safer for you too. Use this for:
- Moving between small flats or rented rooms.
- Collecting large items bought from online marketplaces.
- Taking a big load of rubbish to the recycling centre.
- Moving your belongings into a self-storage unit.
- Shifting small amounts of office stock or equipment.

What happens on the day

Your driver will arrive at the set time to help load your items safely. They use soft blankets and strong straps to keep your furniture from moving or scratching. As a guide, expect to pay around £40 to £90 per hour locally. Most pros ask for at least two hours of work.
- The driver helps carry items to the van.
- They pack the van to use all the space.
- Everything is secured for a smooth journey.
- They unload at your new front door.

How to prepare

  • Box up all your small loose items
  • Tape the bottom of boxes for strength
  • Take apart large furniture like bed frames
  • Clear a parking space near your door
  • Check if your items fit through doorways
  • Label every box with the room name
  • Keep your valuables and paperwork with you
  • Protect fragile items with bubble wrap

How to improve your result

  • Place heaviest boxes at the bottom
  • Use original boxes for electronics if possible
  • Wrap mattresses in plastic covers
  • Keep a clear path to the van
  • Have a plan for where furniture goes
  • Tell the driver about heavy items early

Why it is useful day to day

Using a professional makes your move much faster and lowers the risk of injury. You will not have to worry about driving a large, unfamiliar vehicle through narrow streets.
- Save time compared to doing multiple car trips.
- Prevent damage to your furniture and walls.
- Avoid the stress of lifting heavy appliances alone.
- Get peace of mind that your goods are insured.

Why we ask these questions

It is important to know exactly what you are paying for before the van arrives. Most pros will charge by the hour, so being organised saves you money. Ask these things:
- Does the price include help with heavy lifting?
- Is there an extra fee for stairs or flats?
- Does the driver have transit insurance for your goods?
- How many people will arrive to help you?
