What fits in a man and van
As a rough guide, a man and van load covers a single large item, a flat or bedsit's worth of furniture, or roughly a room or two of a house. If it fits in one or two trips and you can manage the small bits yourself, this is the cheaper way to do it. Typical loads look like:
When the load creeps past a couple of van trips, a full removal van usually works out faster and better value than shuttling a smaller one back and forth, and we will tell you so honestly rather than book you the service that suits us. Send a quick list or a walk-round video and we will point you at the right one.
The same van does collections and deliveries: marketplace and eBay pickups, a piece bought at auction, or a house-share part-load split between a few people. Everything still gets blankets and straps, because a single item slides around an empty van far more than a packed one ever does.
