      Man with a van or removals? We do both

      A man and van, when you need one

      Sometimes you just need a van and a couple of strong pairs of hands. That is what our man and van service is for: a sofa from Facebook Marketplace, a student room at the end of term, a few bits into storage, or a one-bedroom flat across town. Your local team turns up on time, does the lifting, wraps what needs wrapping and gets it there in one piece. You pay for the job you need, nothing more.

      Removals, from one room to a whole house

      When it is a bigger move, your local branch can call on neighbouring branches, because we work as one team to cover moves of every size. Together we bring the right vans and the right number of people for the job, take apart and rebuild furniture, pack for you if you would like us to, and plan the day around parking, stairs and key times. Long distance, office moves and storage runs are all part of it. It is the care of a small local firm with the backing of a national network.

        Three Your Man With A Van team members in front of two branded vans

        Local movers, right across the UK

        Back in 2010, Dan hit the road with one van, zero nonsense and a mission to sort out the shambles that was the moving game. Today Your Man With A Van is a network of 70+ local branches, from Belfast to Brighton, each run by an owner who lives and works in the area.

        That is the difference. You are not booking a call centre or a stranger from an app. You are booking someone local who answers to their own name and their own reviews. With more than 3,900 Google reviews and 99% of them five-star, our customers say it better than we can. Every branch gives you a clear price before the day, carries goods-in-transit cover and gets back to you, usually within 2 hours.

        Questions people ask before they book

        What is a man with a van service?

        A man with a van is a friendly, flexible way to move things from A to B. You get a van and one or two people who load, transport and unload for you. It suits anything from a single item to a full flat or small house move, and it usually costs less than booking a large removal crew for a job that does not need one.

        Do you do full house removals as well?

        Yes. Our branches move homes of every size, from studio flats to large family houses. For the bigger jobs, your local branch can call on neighbouring branches, because we work as one team. You get the vans and people a big move needs, with the friendly service of a local firm.

        Do you cover my area?

        We have 70+ locally owned branches across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Pop your town or postcode into our branch finder to meet your nearest team. If you are moving further afield, we will take you anywhere in the UK.

        How much does a man with a van cost?

        It depends on how much you are moving, how far, and the access at each end. Your local branch will give you a clear price before the day, with nothing added on after. Our guide to what affects the price explains it in more detail.

        How quickly can you move me?

        Get in touch and your local branch will usually reply within 2 hours. Weekdays are usually easier to book than weekends and month ends, and many branches can help at short notice.

        Are my belongings insured?

        Yes. Every branch carries goods-in-transit cover, and our teams are trained to handle your things with care. If you have anything particularly valuable, just mention it when you book.
