Our Man and Van Service in Detail
When looking for a man and van to hire for a 1 bedroom flat, the key factor is van size.
A Transit-size van works for a minimal 1 bed.
For a furnished 1 bed with a sofa, bed, wardrobe, washing machine, and boxes, a Luton van is more reliable.
Giant Van quotes the right vehicle size for your inventory.
One crew member handles solo lifts.
Two-person crews are available for heavier items or if your property has stairs.
Booking takes under 5 minutes.
