What Can Man and Van Do? Common Use Cases
Man and Van for Flat Moves
Moving from a studio or 1-bed flat? Man and van is the right service. A 2-man crew clears most small flats in 2–3 hours, handling everything from your bed frame to your boxes. No need for a full removals team — get exactly the right amount of help to move quickly and affordably.
Typical flat move includes:
Single Item Collection and Delivery
Bought a sofa on eBay? Found a wardrobe on Gumtree? Need a bed delivered from a store? A man with a van collects from one address and delivers to another — careful, direct, and no fuss. Most single-item jobs book and complete on the same day.
Popular single item moves:
Student Moves to and from University
Moving to uni or heading home for summer? Man and van suits student moves exactly — light on belongings, flexible on timing, and friendly on price. Get an instant quote and book the slot that fits around your schedule.
Student move essentials:
Small Office Relocations
Relocating a small office? Man and van handles desks, chairs, filing cabinets, and IT equipment efficiently. Most small office moves complete in half a day. For larger office relocations, see our dedicated office removals service.
Office move items:

Sold something large online? A man and van can collect from you and deliver directly to the buyer. Or the other way around — your marketplace purchase collected and brought straight to your door. Fast, tracked, and insured.

Packing Services
We pack for you — full packing, fragile items, or packing materials only
Good to know before you book
The practical detail behind your quote — how stairs and parking are handled, how timing works, and how to change a booking.
Stairs, lifts, parking and access
Any extras — stairs (from £28 a flight), difficult parking (£30), and London congestion (£18) or ULEZ (£12.5) charges — are worked out and included in your quote before you book, so the price you see is the price you pay.
- Stairs are charged from £28 a flight above the ground floor; a working lift reduces the cost
- Difficult parking or a permit zone adds £30
- A long carry over 30 metres from the door adds £25
- Tell us about access at both ends when you book so the quote is right first time
Timing and arrival windows
You book a date and a time slot, and your driver arrives within an agreed arrival window rather than to the exact minute.
- Choose your date and preferred slot at checkout — availability is shown in real time
- Same-day and urgent jobs need at least 2 hours' notice so a driver can reach you
- You can track your driver on the day and see live progress once they set off
Changes and cancellations
Plans change. Our cancellation terms are the same for every booking and there is never an admin or processing fee on top.
- Cancel or reschedule 48+ hours before your slot for a full refund
- Between 24 and 48 hours before, you receive a 50% refund
- Under 24 hours before your slot, no refund is due
Frequently Asked Questions

1 man and van suits light loads or jobs where you can help with lifting.
