Man and van is a flexible transport and moving service that helps with the collection, delivery, and relocation of items. Unlike a full-scale removal service, man and van is typically used for smaller moves, single-item deliveries, or transporting goods that don’t require a large removal team. It’s ideal for moving furniture, appliances, or boxes between properties, picking up bulky purchases from shops, or assisting with student moves.
A man and van service is necessary when you need to move items that are too big for a regular car but don’t justify the cost of a full removal company. It’s commonly used for moving house on a smaller scale, such as flats or studio apartments, transporting second-hand furniture bought online, or collecting large items from stores that don’t offer delivery. It’s also beneficial for businesses needing stock, equipment, or documents transported quickly between locations.
Man and van services require a suitable transport vehicle, usually a medium to large van, along with loading equipment such as trolleys, straps, and protective blankets to keep items safe during transit. The driver provides both transport and labour, with the option to include extra help if larger items need lifting or more manpower is required. Clear communication about what needs moving, where it’s going, and access details at both properties ensures a smooth service.
