A van and a driver, for the smaller moves

A few pieces of furniture, a marketplace pickup or a student room. Start with your route.

What’s moving?

Choose both addresses from the suggestions to continue.

Your request does not book a driver. Review the offers and agree the price before booking.

Plan your small move

Moving a few things? Tell the driver what needs collecting, where it is going and who will help with the lifting.

A few items, a room or a small flat

List everything that needs to travel, including boxes and loose pieces. Do not choose a smaller service simply because the journey is short: the load and handling requirements matter too. For a whole household, compare the house-removal route.

Check space, weight and the way in

Give the dimensions and weight of large items, including packaging. Mention anything that cannot be stacked. Before booking, confirm the vehicle, loading equipment and whether the load needs more than one trip.

Work out who will do the lifting

Tell the driver about stairs, heavy items and who can help at each address. If you need an extra pair of hands, request a helper and agree the cost before booking.

Make a marketplace collection easier

Confirm the purchase and collection permission with the seller first. Check dimensions, the collection window and whether the item will be dismantled. Make sure the seller can give the driver access and that someone can receive the delivery.

Questions about man-and-van bookings

Check the details before you arrange your move.

Ask us a question
Can I ride in the van?

Ask the driver before booking. Passenger seating and permission are not included in the online estimate.

Is there a minimum number of items?

Describe your actual load, even if it is one item. The estimate reflects the route and service; small loads still need suitable access and handling.

Can I add another stop?

Add the extra collection or delivery in the quote journey and describe what is being picked up or dropped off. All stops need to be agreed as part of the job.
