    Thank you Michelle!

    Thank you Michelle!

    Sometimes, it’s not the big moves that leave the most memorable moments, but the people we meet along the way, and the relationships we develop.

    One customer, come friend Michelle, left us such a heartfelt review, which reminded us why we do what we do—to take away some of the anxiety of an otherwise stressful time of their life. Its an incredibly rewarding experience and we simply wanted to share that with you.

    Teamwork Dreamwork

    One of the most memorable was a four-day pack and relocation, from Harlow all the way over to the beautiful Wiltshire countryside.

    It was a huge job—six vans in total, pulling resources from our neighbouring branches (thanks again team Watford & Chelmsford), ten guys in total all working in perfect harmony. The teamwork started with carefully wrapping fragile items, packing just shy of 150 boxes from property to van. To loading all the furniture room by room. Through to coordinating the departure of every van. So that unloading was a methodical operation.

    It was a particularly special job, though—the customer was so friendly, patient, and always ready with a good sense of humore and many cups of tea.

    There was plenty of laughter amidst the long hours, good spirit, and shared pride in a job well done. At the end, it no longer felt like work; more like a friendship was made. Well its in our tagline “Friendly Local Movers”

    Craftsmanship at its best

    We recently transported a set of extremely heavy cast iron gates from a property in old Harlow to a local metal works restorer.

    It required a lot of careful planning just to get them off their hinges and into the van safely. You could tell these gates held a lot of craftsmanship and history, lots of swirls and rosette shaped finials. Once repaired, repainted and polished to its former glory, you just knew they were going to look stunning in situ.

    We are really looking forward to returning them to their home —shining, restored, and ready to stand proudly once again as a beautiful feature of the property. 😁

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How much does a man with a van in Braintree typically cost?
      Pricing varies depending on the size of your move, the distance we’re covering and any extras like packing support. We keep things transparent — no hidden fees, no last-minute additions. The best way to get an accurate price is to use the quote form below and Ben will get back to you quickly with a figure that’s fair and tailored to your job.
      Which postcodes and areas do you serve?
      Our home patch is CM7 and CM77, and we regularly cover Great Notley, Bocking, Rayne, Panfield and the surrounding areas. We’re also happy to take on longer-distance moves — so if your route goes beyond Great Notley, just ask. We’ll always be upfront about what’s possible.
      Can you help with packing as well as the move itself?
      Absolutely. We offer a full packing service — from carefully wrapping fragile items to boxing up entire rooms. It’s a great option if you’re short on time or just want to take the stress out of the whole process. Let us know when you enquire and we’ll include it in your quote.
      Is my furniture and belongings covered during transit?
      Yes — goods-in-transit insurance is included as standard with every move we carry out in Braintree and the surrounding area. Your belongings are in safe hands throughout the entire journey. Got anything particularly valuable or fragile? Just flag it when you book and we’ll take extra care.
      How early do I need to book a van in Braintree?
      We’d always recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed date — particularly for Fridays, weekends and the end of the month when demand is highest. If you’re in a pinch and need something at short notice, it’s always worth getting in touch as we do sometimes have availability. Just don’t leave it too long!
      What happens on the day of my move?
      We turn up on time — that’s a given. Ben and the team will load everything carefully and methodically, making sure nothing gets damaged in transit. At the other end, we’ll unload and place items where you need them. If packing was part of your booking, we’ll have been with you beforehand to get everything ready. Simple, professional and stress-free.
