Gigi needed suitcases, crates, a chair, a dryer and bedding moved from St Dunstan's to Burgess Hill Dunstall. Isaac loaded everything into the Transit in an hour, then drove the route in an hour and a half. The job landed smoothly, and Gigi followed up with a 5-star review. Straightforward pickup and drop-off, exactly what man-and-van work should be.

Kurt needed his kingsize bed frame, chest of drawers, and bedside tables moved from Eastville to Bishopsworth. Bash loaded everything in 30 minutes and made the short 25-minute drive across Bristol to complete the drop-off. Kurt left a 5-star review praising Bash's responsiveness and care with the furniture, saying he couldn't recommend him highly enough.
“Absolutely brilliant guy. Super responsive via phone and text and kept me updated the whole time. He was more than happy to help and took extreme care with all furniture. Couldn’t recommend any higher if I tried.”
— Kurt
Our customer needed a divan bed and mattress picked up from rural Tunbridge Wells and delivered to St Mary's & St James. Isaac loaded everything in about 30 minutes, then drove the Transit across to Bexley in under an hour. Straightforward job, the kind of quick, practical move that gets done right without fuss.
“Isaac was great, very friendly and helpful. Unofrtunatley our mattress and divan bed did get quite a few dirty marks on them in transit, which was a shame. A dust sheet on the floor of the van would have prevented this. Having said that I would definatley use Isaac and the company again.”
— Dave
Kim needed around 15 boxes, several suitcases, three TVs, a double mattress, and outdoor bits like a Weber BBQ shifted from Boyd Valley to Milton & Tamarside. Patrick loaded everything in just over an hour, then drove the long haul in the Transit, just over three hours to get it all there. Everything arrived without a hitch, and Kim left a five-star review saying Patrick's communication and execution were spot on.
“Patrick was fantastic! Great communication and smooth execution. Highly recommend ☺️”
— Kim
Ionut picked up a 50 inch TV, double bed mattress, and several boxes of clothes from Maryland and drove them across to Grove Green in just over three hours all in. The driver handled the load without fuss, and everything arrived in one piece. Straightforward job, no complications, the kind of move that works best when someone knows the local routes and can get on with it.
“Great person and very helpful, I strongly recommend 👍”
— Dan
Our customer needed a collection of boxes and bags moved from St Peter and the Waterfront in Plymouth up to Camden Square. Isaac loaded everything in 30 minutes, a mix of heavy boxes, larger cartons, and smaller items that needed careful stacking, then drove the Transit up to London, arriving by evening. The customer was meeting him there after taking the train, so timing worked out well. Straightforward job, well organised.
Our customer needed a second-floor flat in Cotham cleared of IKEA furniture, two cabinets, a couple of chest of drawers, and a bed that needed taking apart. Louis and a helper loaded everything into the Transit in two hours, then drove across Bristol to Southville to drop it off. Straightforward work: pick up, drive, deliver, done. The whole job took just over two and a half hours from first item loaded to final piece unloaded.
Our customer needed around ten boxes and some smaller items moved from Ardwick to Leeds. Constantin loaded everything in an hour, then drove the Transit across to Burmantofts & Richmond Hill in just under two and a half hours. Straightforward job, boxes and appliances packed, picked up, delivered. The kind of work that's routine for a man-and-van move when you've got the right vehicle and a bit of time to do it properly.
Our customer needed an e-scooter, a large TV, boxes, and bags of clothes moved out of Filton. Kalidou loaded everything into the Transit over an hour and a half, then drove across Bristol to the dropoff in about 50 minutes. A straightforward job with a decent amount to shift, but the van had the space and the driver got it all there without fuss.
“he was really kind and helpful, was very careful with all belongings!”
— Freya
Our customer needed boxes, dining room chairs, a light table, shelving, and a bureau moved from Gospel Oak to Bowbrook. Saksham loaded everything into the Transit over two hours, then drove the five-plus-hour run to Worcester. It was a straightforward job, a mix of smaller pieces and flat-pack that needed to get across the country in one go. The delivery landed in mid-morning, and everything arrived in one piece.
— Goodger
Our customer needed three suitcases and a few boxes moved from Kensington & Fairfield to Meden, with a planned stop at a letting office along the way to collect keys to the new flat. Hesham loaded everything in half an hour, then drove across to Mansfield for the key collection before dropping off at the destination. The whole job, including the detour, took just under six hours from start to finish, straightforward logistics that got our customer settled into their new place on moving day.
“Wonderful guy. Drove me from Liverpool to Mansfield, smooth & carefull driver. Totally recommend.”
— Zain
Our customer needed a mattress, small chest of drawers and bags of clothes moved from Southville to Windmill Hill. Dominic loaded everything into the Transit in an hour, then drove the short route across Bristol in just over half an hour to drop it off. Straightforward job, all done by early evening.
“Dominic was super helpful and made a stressful move so much smoother. I’ll be recommending your services. Thank you Dominic.”
— Muchano
This was a man and van move for our customer — paperwork, books and a generator going into a storage container for safekeeping. The bulk of it was 35 to 40 plastic containers of records, all hauled down from a dusty loft through a tight hatch by Dominic and a second pair of hands. Hot, heavy work on a 30-degree day, but everything went in stacked and secure, ready for whenever it's needed.
— Robert
Dominic carried out a reliable man and van service, collecting a careful load of cabinets, paintings, suitcases, and paperwork from St Marychurch in Torbay and transporting it to Brislington West in Bristol. The job was straightforward, with mainly smaller items and a few pieces of furniture to move, meaning loading was completed quickly. With the journey there and back included, the round trip totalled around five hours.
“Easy, painless, fast and professional! We were very impressed: Dominic was very helpful, friendly and altogether a delight to deal with.”
— Joules
Save time and money with a Man and Van, rather than hiring a van and doing it yourself. Our movers are experienced in all types of single item pick ups and have moved hundreds of sofas and other household items.
The booking works the same way as any other job. Enter the collection postcode and your drop-off postcode, whether that's a Currys store, a Facebook Marketplace address or an auction house. Add a loading time estimate and you get an instant price. Blankets, straps and securing gear are included. For larger items like American fridge-freezers, 3-seater sofas or wardrobes, pick a large van or a Luton over a medium.
Studios and 1-bed flats are typically one-driver-one-van jobs. A 2-bed flat usually needs a large van and sometimes a helper for stairs or heavy items. Beyond that, a dedicated removals team is usually the better option.
The booking form lets you add a helper if the job needs two pairs of hands. If you need beds or wardrobes dismantled and rebuilt, flag it in the booking so the driver allows time. For larger properties, our house removals form collects the details and gets you a quote from one of our removalists — a different process built for bigger jobs.
With the large national aggregator brands you often don't know who's arriving until the night before. The driver changes, the van changes. Quality is inconsistent.
The TVMC platform works the other way. When you enter your postcodes, you see a shortlist of local independent drivers, each with their own profile, hourly rate, van specs and review history. Pick the one you want, they confirm, and their profile is there to rebook directly. Return legs, repeat business runs, the next seasonal move. Rebooking the same driver skips the re-briefing and usually gets a faster confirmation.
Rates start at £40/hr for a medium van, £40/hr for a large, and £40/hr for a Luton. The final price depends on your chosen driver, the round-trip route time, and your loading/unloading estimate. Enter your postcodes into our booking system for an instant price in seconds.
Price equals your driver's hourly rate multiplied by total time. Route time is the full round trip from the driver's base through your pickup and drop-off and back. Loading and unloading time is added on top. No separate mileage, fuel or callout charges.
The extra time is billed at the same hourly rate you were quoted — no premium, no additional fees. The quote just extends by the overage.
The minimum booking time for any job is one hour. It's shown in your instant quote before you confirm anything.
Van, driver, blankets, straps and securing gear, and light packing help on the day within your booked time. Helpers, professional packing and packing materials are available as add-ons — flag them when you book.
Yes. Our booking system shows nearby drivers ranked by proximity and van-size fit. Review their profile and ratings, pick the one you want, send a request. Every driver has a permanent profile so you can rebook them directly for the next job.
You pay a 20% deposit to secure the booking when you confirm. The remaining balance is settled on the day of the job.
London is where most man and van jobs happen. The density of short-notice bookings across the inner boroughs is higher than anywhere else on the platform. Flat swaps in Hackney and Islington, Marketplace runs in Clapham and Battersea, IKEA collections out to the suburbs. Same-day slots come up regularly because more drivers are working the city at any given time.
Outside London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Leeds are the four busiest cities by volume. Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Sheffield and Nottingham follow. Most mid-size UK cities have solid driver coverage through the network. Clean Air Zone pricing applies in Bath, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Sheffield and Oxford. The booking system reflects it in the quote.
Rural and market-town coverage is strong wherever drivers are based locally. Cotswolds villages, the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, commuter-belt towns like Guildford, St Albans and Sevenoaks. Because drivers are already near the pickup, round-trip route time stays proportionate rather than inflating with a long dispatch leg.
For London bookings: ULEZ and the congestion charge zone are included in the route pricing. Residents’ parking restrictions and conservation-area access are worth flagging in the booking notes so the driver can plan accordingly.
