Clear Costs for Man and Van
A man and van for hire for a single item is one of the most flexible services Giant Van offers.
Single item jobs include marketplace furniture pickups, appliance deliveries, antique collections, and one-room clearances.
The key advantage over a full removal booking is speed: a single item job can often be slotted into the schedule with 24 hours notice, uses a smaller vehicle if the item fits, and costs significantly less than a full van day.
Common single items we collect: American-style fridge-freezers (width 90 cm, typically requiring doorframe removal), L-shaped sofas (need 2 crew to navigate corners), gym equipment such as cross trainers and rowing machines, and upright pianos.
For each, Giant Van assesses the item dimensions, access route at both ends, and vehicle requirement before quoting.
Man and van for hire for a single item starts from £49 in London.
