    Tomasz Driver Tomasz 5.0 (6) Nottingham, Dales

    Man with a Van Local to Nottingham

    NG23 → NG24 6 Oct 2026

    Our customer needed large furniture pieces moved from Viking in a tight timeframe. Tomasz arrived with a Ford Transit long wheelbase, the right size for bulky items, and spent two hours carefully loading everything. The customer's partner pitched in with the lifting, which made a real difference when manoeuvring the bigger pieces. Short hop into the next postcode, and the job was wrapped up by mid-afternoon. When oversized furniture needs moving, having the right van and an extra set of hands makes all the difference.

    Isaac Driver Isaac 4.9 (7) London, Whitechapel

    Man with a Van Ashford to London

    TN25 → UB2 30 Sep 2026

    Isaac collected a cubic metre bag of sheep's wool from Saxon Shore and transported it to Norwood Green over a 2 hour 25 minute journey. The load took 30 minutes to secure into the Transit Custom, bulk items like this need proper restraint to stop them shifting in transit, and the right vehicle makes all the difference. Our customer's wool arrived safely in Ealing.

    Man with a Van Local to Newcastle upon Tyne

    NE7 → NE3 3 Sep 2026

    Our customer needed a corner sofa that separates into two pieces, a standing lamp, and a double mattress moved within Dene & South Gosforth. William loaded everything into the Ford Transit in just over an hour, corner sofas are the kind of job where having the right size van and being able to split them into sections makes all the difference. The short 5-minute drive across Newcastle kept things straightforward, and everything arrived ready to go.

    Patrick Driver Patrick 5.0 (4) Taunton, North Petherton

    Man with a Van Bristol to Weston-super-Mare

    BS3 → BS21 8 Aug 2026

    Our customer needed a double mattress, 3-seater sofa, bookcase and side unit moved from a first-floor flat in Bedminster to a second-floor property in Clevedon East. Patrick loaded everything into the long-wheelbase Transit in an hour, then drove across with a helper to manage the stairs and tight doorways at both ends. The bulky pieces, especially the sofa, needed careful manoeuvring, but both levels were sorted by mid-afternoon. Everything arrived in good shape and the customer was happy with how it went.

    ★★★★★

    “Brilliant service from Patrick and his son! Hard workers, kept me updated throughout the day and super friendly. Thanks both!”

    Bash Driver Bash 5.0 (7) Bristol, Eastville

    Man with a Van Local to Bristol

    BS34 → BS4 29 Jul 2026

    Our customer needed a substantial L-shaped sofa, 240cm by 240cm with a 90cm height, moved from Filton to Brislington East. A piece that size demands careful planning and the right vehicle. Bash loaded it into the Transit Custom in 30 minutes, then navigated the route across to the new place in just under an hour. These corner sofas are tricky to manoeuvre through doorways and up stairs, but the job went smoothly from pickup to dropoff.

    Amir Driver Amir 5.0 (4) Havering, Hylands & Harrow Lodge

    Man with a Van Manchester to Crawley

    M20 → RH1 15 Jul 2026

    Amir collected a full flat's worth of bulky furniture from Didsbury West, a double bed frame, a 1.5-metre sofa, dining table with chairs, a tall bureau, multiple chests of drawers, and a glass-fronted cabinet. The job needed careful planning: the bureau alone topped 2.37 metres, and pieces like the headboard stretched nearly 1.9 metres. He loaded everything into a Luton van over three hours, then drove the long haul south to Redhill West & Wray Common, where the entire load arrived safely. A job that demanded the right size van and methodical packing to get all those dimensions through without damage.

    Tomasz Driver Tomasz 5.0 (6) Nottingham, Dales

    Man with a Van Leicester to London

    LE4 → W11 4 Jul 2026

    Justin needed a new American fridge freezer collected from Beaumont Leys in Leicester and delivered to his garden flat in Pembridge, but the real challenge was navigating those steep front steps and tight access into the building. Tomasz and a helper made the five-hour trip with the Transit, got the new fridge unboxed and positioned, then hauled the old one back out for disposal. It's exactly the kind of job where having both a capable van and an extra pair of hands made all the difference. Justin left a 5-star review, calling Tomasz punctual, friendly, and strong.

    Kalidou Driver Kalidou

    Man with a Van Local to Bristol

    BS7 → BS3 27 Jun 2026

    Our customer needed a sofa moved from Bishopston and Ashley Down to Southville. Kalidou loaded it into the Transit in 30 minutes and made the short drive across Bristol in just over an hour. A bulky piece like that needs the right van and someone who knows how to angle it through tight spaces, exactly the kind of job where having a proper setup makes all the difference.

    ★★★★★

    “Kalidou was the best driver and van hire we have ever experienced. He was on time, communicated with us and helped us move our sofa with the most professionalism and positivity and really went the extra mile to help us safely move a heavy piece of furniture. He was recommend to us over the phone and we are so glad we booked with your service because he was the best man with van hire anyone could ask for! We tipped him but wish we could have tipped more because it was such an excellent service. He’s a credit to your business!”

    Akrem Driver Akrem 5.0 (1) Sheffield, City

    Man with a Van Local to Sheffield

    S6 → S35 25 Jun 2026

    Our customer's move from Hillsborough to Stocksbridge involved a 3-seater sofa that separates into two pieces, a 140cm desk, and an office chair. Akrem arrived with a helper and the Ford Transit long wheelbase, the extra space and second pair of hands made quick work of loading the bulkier items without damage. The whole job took just over an hour on-site, then a 45-minute drive to the new place. Piece by piece, it all arrived in one go.

    ★★★★★

    “Absolute legend! He was kind, considerate and made the whole process feel incredibly smooth! Overall an awesome experience.”

    Isaac Driver Isaac 4.9 (7) London, Whitechapel

    Man with a Van Local to London

    N4 → N7 12 Jun 2026

    Kitchen cabinets and worktops don't sound like they'd need much fuss, but six of them unassembled plus two stretches of worktop are genuinely bulky loads, especially when they need to navigate seven steps at pickup in Tollington. Isaac loaded everything into the Transit and made the short run to Laycock for the tip drop-off. The whole job, loading and drive included, took about two hours. Bulky domestic waste needs the right van and a steady hand on the stairs, and this one went without a hitch.

    ★★★★★

    “Isaac was amazing, really friendly, made short work of it and managed to fit it all in his van even though I was worried I'd booked the wrong size.”

    Dominic Driver Dominic 5.0 (50) Bristol, Cotham

    Man with a Van Local to Bristol

    BS11 9 Jun 2026

    Our customer's large couch needed moving within Avonmouth and Lawrence Weston, and Dominic loaded it into the Transit in 30 minutes. A bulky piece like that needs the right van size and a bit of planning to get through doorways and into position, the Transit Custom proved ideal for the job. Even though the pickup and dropoff were in the same neighbourhood, the drive took 45 minutes to navigate and position everything properly at the new spot.

    Ambark Driver Ambark 4.8 (4) Glasgow, Newlands/Auldburn

    Man with a Van Hamilton to Motherwell

    ML9 → ML12 8 Jun 2026

    Ambark moved a 2-seater couch and mahogany door from Avondale and Stonehouse to Clydesdale East across South Lanarkshire. The couch took 45 minutes to load into the Transit, getting bulky pieces through doorways and into the van the right way is half the job. The drive took just over 2 hours, and everything arrived without a scratch.

    ★★★★★

    “Ambark was a star...he picked up a 2 seater sofa with headrest himself onto his back and moved it like it was nothing....super human strength”

    More about Bulky Item Delivery

    Local moving help, explained in detail

    Marketplace pickups are the largest single category of bulky-item bookings. Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Gumtree and Vinted Home all generate buyers who've committed to a piece of furniture and need it collected from a stranger's house. Seller's postcode is the pickup, your address is the drop-off. The driver meets the seller, loads the item and delivers.

    The biggest practical issue is access at the seller's end. Narrow stairs, awkward doorways, parking restrictions. The driver will work it out on arrival, but flagging known issues in the booking notes saves time. Multi-stop bookings let you collect from several sellers in one run if they're in the same area. Same-day slots are common when sellers are flexible on timing.

    Get a Quote

    Retail collection is the second-biggest single-item use case. A sofa from DFS, a bed from John Lewis, a kitchen unit from IKEA, and the retailer's delivery slot is six weeks away or costs as much as the item. The TVMC booking covers store pickup, transport home and unloading, with assembly available to add for flat-pack orders.

    Drivers handle most major furniture retailers: IKEA, John Lewis, DFS, Habitat, Made, Oak Furnitureland, Dunelm, Sofa Workshop and most independent showrooms. For larger orders, pick a Luton so everything fits in one trip. For a single piece, a large van is usually enough. The hourly rate covers the full round trip. No separate delivery fee on top.

    Get a Quote

    Single bulky items between private addresses are the most varied bookings. Inheriting a sofa from a relative, a fridge from a friend who's moving, a wardrobe from an estate sale. The volume is small but the items are heavy or awkward.

    Pick a van size based on the item. A 3-seater sofa usually fits a large van. Corner sofas and L-shapes typically need a Luton. Same for American fridge-freezers because of the height. Heavy items over 80-100kg benefit from a helper. For items that won't fit through a doorway in one piece, the dismantle-to-fit option has the driver take it apart at pickup and rebuild at drop-off. Upright pianos are usually fine. Grand pianos, hot tubs and anything over 200kg are specialist work. Confirm with the driver before booking.

    Bulky Item Delivery — frequently asked questions

    Quick answers to the most common questions about this service

    8 FAQs

    How much does it cost to transport a single item?

    Single-item deliveries are priced the same as any booking. Your driver's hourly rate multiplied by round-trip route time plus loading and unloading. For a sofa or wardrobe collected nearby and dropped 10 miles away, the total typically lands at £60-£100. Enter the postcodes in the booking system for an instant price.

    Can you collect from eBay, Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree sellers?

    Yes. Marketplace collections are one of the most-booked job types. Put the seller's postcode as pickup, your address as drop-off, pick a van size based on the item. The driver meets the seller, loads, delivers.

    Can one driver handle a sofa or wardrobe?

    Depends on size and access. A 2-seater sofa through a ground-floor door is usually fine for one driver. A 4-seater up two flights of stairs needs a helper. The booking form has a helper option. Add it when in doubt.

    Is there a size limit on items?

    Anything that fits in a Luton van, 4.0m × 2.0m × 2.2m internal, is in scope. Corner sofas, king-size mattresses, American fridge-freezers and double wardrobes all fit. Grand pianos, hot tubs and items over 200kg are specialist work. Confirm with the driver before booking.

    Can you disassemble a wardrobe or bed to get it through a narrow doorway?

    Yes. Add dismantling to the booking. The driver takes the item apart at pickup and rebuilds at drop-off. Works well for wardrobes with doorway issues, bed frames, large dining tables and modular sofas with detachable arms.

    Can I collect multiple items from different addresses in one booking?

    Yes. Multi-stop bookings cover this. Useful when you've bought a sofa from one Marketplace seller and a coffee table from another in the same area.

    Do you handle antiques, artwork or valuable items?

    Yes. Flag high-value items in the booking notes. The driver wraps and secures them carefully. For pieces over £5k or fine art, confirm cover details with your chosen driver before booking as cover varies between drivers.

    How does payment work?

    20% deposit to secure the booking when you confirm, the remaining balance is settled on the day.

Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Newcastle, Cardiff and Nottingham all see regular volume. Smaller cities and towns work the same way.

    Items covered span the full range of household furniture. Sofas in most configurations, beds from singles to super-king, wardrobes, mattresses, dining tables, sideboards, white goods. If it fits in a Luton van, it is in scope.

    Sources vary. Facebook Marketplace and eBay account for most of the volume. Gumtree, Vinted Home and Shpock come up regularly. On the retail side, drivers collect from IKEA, John Lewis, DFS, Habitat, Made, Oak Furnitureland and most independent showrooms. Charity warehouses, auction houses and estate sales are also common collection points.

    The cleanest workflow for a Marketplace pickup: agree a collection time with the seller first, then book the van. Same-day slots are common when sellers are flexible. For multi-buy jobs, multi-stop bookings cover collecting from several sellers in one efficient route.
