Removals

A man with a van is the perfect alternative to the normal removal companies.  We are best suited to small jobs where everything can fit in one van load.  

A Luton van is just right for single item removals, one bedroom flats or small office moves.  

We are the perfect fit for student moves, we load everything and then set off on a road trip, on arrival it's off load, followed by a nice cup of coffee and then a relaxing trip back home.  

If you are moving locally then we can take on bigger jobs and do multiple trips.  

 

If it fits in a Luton van then its going.  

Internal dimensions are:

Length 4 meters
Width 2 meters
Height 1.8 meters
Cubic meters = 15m3
 
It's very important we do not overload the van.  There is an overall weight limit of 3.5 tons meaning we can load 1 ton into the van, this is calculated at the drivers discretion.

Why Choose a Man with a van?

When it comes to moving, whether it’s a small apartment, office, or just a few items, a man with a van service offers several unique advantages over traditional removal companies:

  1. Cost-Effective

Hiring a man with a van is often more affordable than a full-scale removal company. You only pay for the time and services you need, making it a budget-friendly option for smaller moves.

  1. Flexibility

Man with a van services are typically more flexible and can accommodate last-minute bookings. This is perfect for those unexpected moves or when you need to transport items on short notice.

  1. Personalised Service

With a man with a van, you get a more personalised service. The same person who helps you load your items will also be there to unload them, ensuring consistency and care throughout the process.

  1. Ideal for Small Moves

If you’re moving a small apartment, a few pieces of furniture, or even just a single item, a man with a van is the ideal choice. There’s no need to hire a large removal company for a small job.

  1. Local Expertise

Man with a van services often have excellent local knowledge, which can be a huge advantage when navigating through busy city streets or finding the best routes to your new location2.

  1. Eco-Friendly

Smaller vans mean fewer emissions compared to larger removal trucks. If you’re environmentally conscious, a man with a van is a greener choice for your move.

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.
