About Our Man & Van Service

Not every move needs a full removal team. Our man and van service provides a flexible, affordable solution for smaller moves, single item deliveries, student relocations, and marketplace collections. Same professional care, smaller scale, lower cost.

Perfect For

  • Studio, one-bed, and two-bed flat moves
  • Single item collection and delivery (sofas, beds, wardrobes, appliances)
  • Student moves to and from Bournemouth University and Arts University Bournemouth
  • eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and Gumtree purchases
  • Furniture store and showroom deliveries
  • Small office and workshop relocations
  • Items going to storage or coming out of storage
  • Charity shop and tip runs for bulky items

What You Get

Every man and van booking includes:

  • An experienced driver plus one helper (additional helpers available)
  • The right-size vehicle for your load — a standard van for smaller jobs, a tail-lift Luton for larger ones. We'll pick what fits.
  • Limited specialist covers and blankets where available
  • Friendly, professional service from a uniformed team

Not included as standard with Man & Van

Furniture dismantle & reassembly is not included with Man & Van. It's a separate chargeable service at £50/hr — see below if you need it. Basic insurance is also not included; we recommend taking out full transit cover if your items have significant value.

More than a van-load? No problem.

If your move is bigger than a single van will comfortably take, we'll upgrade you to a 7.5-tonne Luton, combine multiple vehicles, or switch you over to our full removals service — whichever gives you the best price for the job. We never under-vehicle a move; we'd rather quote the right size up front than leave you stuck on the day.

How Pricing Works

Our man and van service is charged at £50/hr (per crew of two) with a 5-hour minimum (£250 + VAT floor on labour, £590 + VAT minimum total once travel + materials are factored in). The clock starts and stops at our depot. Rates include the van, driver, helper, and fuel — basic insurance is an optional £50 add-on.

For longer distances or full-day bookings, we can offer a fixed price. Contact us with details and we'll provide a no-obligation quote.

How Far We Go

Our man and van service covers:

  • Local — Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, and surrounding BH postcodes
  • Regional — Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset, and Devon
  • National — Anywhere in England, Wales, and Scotland

For longer distances, we'll provide a fixed-price quote rather than hourly rates, so you know exactly what you'll pay.

Man and Van vs Full Removal Service

Not sure which you need? Here's a simple guide:

  • Man and van — Best for studios, 1-bed flats, single items, or when you've already packed everything yourself. Typically 2-4 hours.
  • Full removal — Best for 2+ bedroom homes, when you need packing help, or any move involving lots of furniture or outbuildings. Typically a half or full day with a bigger crew and vehicle.

Still unsure? Fill in our online quote — it picks the right service based on what you're moving — or call us on 01202 113 255 and we'll take you through it in two minutes. We'd rather you were on the right service than the cheap one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man and van cost in Bournemouth?
Our hourly rate is £50 per hour per crew member, with a 5-hour minimum. Once travel and materials are factored in, the minimum total is £590 + VAT. Time beyond the minimum is billed in 30-minute increments. Basic insurance is an optional £50 add-on.

Can you move a single large item?
Absolutely. We regularly collect and deliver individual sofas, beds, wardrobes, fridges, washing machines, and other bulky items. The 5-hour / £590 + VAT minimum applies because depot-to-depot timing covers the round trip.

Do I need to pack everything first?
For man and van bookings, we recommend having items boxed and ready to go, as the hourly clock is running. If you need packing help, our full removal service or packing service may be better value.

Can you help with loading and unloading?
Yes. Our team handles all loading and unloading. We bring blankets and straps to protect your items and use the van's tail-lift for heavy pieces.

FAQ

We can transport a wide variety of items, including furniture, appliances, and personal belongings. If you have specific items in mind, feel free to contact us for advice.
