The Van Man Co. House Removals

Man and Van Services

The Van Man Co.

Man and van covers the broad middle ground — one driver with the right van, billed by the hour. Single items, Marketplace pickups, small flat moves, student runs, retail collections, business deliveries. Hourly pricing means you pay for the time the job takes.

The price is built from three things: the driver’s hourly rate, the round-trip route time from their base through your pickup and drop-off, and the loading/unloading time you enter. Put your postcodes into our booking system and you’ll get an instant price — not a range, not a callback. Pick your driver from the list, confirm the booking, and pay a 20% deposit to secure the slot.

    More about Man and Van

    Local moving help, explained in detail

    Most single-item jobs work out cheaper than hiring a van and doing it yourself. You're not dealing with parking outside a stranger's house, working out access, or figuring out halfway through that the sofa needs two people.

    The booking works the same way as any other job. Enter the collection postcode — a Currys store, a Facebook Marketplace seller, an auction house — and your drop-off postcode, add a loading time estimate, and you'll get an instant price. Blankets, straps and securing gear are included. For larger items — an American fridge-freezer, a 3-seater sofa, a wardrobe — select a large van or a Luton rather than 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. Rotating drivers means different vans, different experience, different results.

    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 size(s) and review history. Pick the one you want, they confirm, and their profile is there to rebook directly. Return legs, repeat business runs, seasonal moves — rebooking the same driver skips the re-briefing and usually gets a faster confirmation.

    Man and Van — frequently asked questions

    Quick answers to the most common questions about this service

    7 FAQs
    How much does a man and van cost?

    Rates start at £40/hr for a medium van, £45/hr for a large, and £60/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.

    How is the price calculated?

    Price equals your driver's hourly rate multiplied by total time (route time plus loading/unloading). Route time is the full round trip — from the driver's base to your pickup, to your drop-off, and back to their base. No separate mileage, fuel or callout charges.

    What if the job overruns my estimate?

    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.

    Is there a minimum booking time?

    Most drivers set their own minimum. It's shown in your instant quote before you confirm anything.

    What's included with every booking?

    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.

    Can I pick my own driver?

    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.

    How does payment work?

    You pay a 20% deposit to secure the booking when you confirm. The remaining balance is settled on the day of the job.

    Man and Van available across the UK

    Local drivers covering cities, towns, counties and regions

    259 areas

    The TVMC network covers the full length of the UK — from Aberdeen and Inverness south through Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Durham and York, across the Pennines into Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester and Liverpool, through Birmingham, Nottingham, Leicester, Coventry, Oxford and Cambridge, and into the south via Bristol, Bath, Reading, Southampton, Portsmouth, Brighton and the full London metro area. Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and the Welsh valleys are covered, as are Devon, Cornwall, Norfolk and the rural east of the country.

    London gets its own treatment. Drivers handle Islington, Hackney, Camden, Shoreditch, Clapham, Battersea, Wandsworth, Fulham, Hammersmith, Kensington, Chelsea, Greenwich, Canary Wharf, Stratford and the suburbs out to the M25. Drivers account for ULEZ, the congestion charge and residents’ parking restrictions when pricing a job, and the booking system will flag if any of those apply to your route. The same applies to any city with a Clean Air Zone — Bath, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Sheffield, Oxford — it’ll be reflected in your quote.

    Rural and market-town coverage runs through the network too. Cotswolds and Lake District second-home moves, Highland relocations, Peak District and Yorkshire Dales runs, commuter-belt towns like Guildford, Reigate, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells, St Albans and Hitchin — all have local drivers with realistic rates. Because drivers are already based near your pickup, round-trip route time stays proportionate.

    Job types covered: city-to-city long-distance runs, cross-town relocations, retail collections from Currys, DFS, AO and IKEA, multi-stop Marketplace pickups, and short single-item hops. Whatever the route, postcode-to-postcode pricing is shown upfront before you confirm.
