Man and van hire

 

✅ What’s Included

  • A friendly driver / worker
  • Protective blankets
  • Sturdy straps
  • A trusty sack truck
  • And plenty of “can-do” attitude!

The faster the job gets done, the cheaper it is — simple as that.

🚚 Perfect For

Ideal for small moves that fit in a single van load.
I can do multiple trips for larger jobs, but ideally, pickup and drop-off locations should be fairly close together.

💷 How Pricing Works

Prices are based on a round trip starting and ending in BS48.

To estimate the cost:

  1. Open Google Maps.
  2. Enter BS48 as the starting point.
  3. Add the pickup address, then the drop-off address, and finally return to BS48.
  4. This gives you the total travel time.

For loading/unloading:

  • Two people typically take 2 hours to load a full van.
  • And about 1.5 hour to unload.
  • Depending on access and parking constraints.

How to pack boxes

 

To ensure a seamless moving experience, we ask our customers to have their boxes packed and ready.

  • Keep the weight down. If it fits in a box, it should be in a box. Make sure boxes are full and securely sealed.  Please don't overload a box as we have lots of lifting to do. 
  • Proper Packing: Use plenty of packing material at the bottom and top of each box. Suitable materials include crumpled paper, pillows, cushions, and bedding.
  • Avoid Rattling: Items should be snug and immobile to prevent breakage.
  • Vertical Packing: Always pack plates, stemmed glasses, and pictures vertically.
  • Weight Distribution: Place heavy items like books, vinyl records, toiletries, food, drinks, and linens in smaller boxes. Use larger boxes for lighter items. If a box starts to get too heavy, top it off with lighter items.
  • Fill to the Top: Ensure boxes are filled to the top to prevent crushing.
  • Lamp Packing: Remove lampshades from lamps to make them easier to pack.
  • Bagging Soft Furnishings: Soft furnishings can go in sturdy black bags, but avoid using carrier bags. We do not accept fragile items in any bags.

 

Following these guidelines will help ensure a happy and efficient removal crew.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
