Man and Van vs Removal Company: Which Should You Choose?

Man and van vs removal company is one of the first decisions you will make. The right answer depends on the size of your move, your budget and how much you want handled for you.

What a man and van offers

A man and van gives you one or two movers and a van, charged by the hour. It is the cheapest, most flexible option for small jobs — flats, student moves, a few rooms or single items.

What a full removal company offers

A removal company provides a larger crew, a fixed price, full protection, packing, storage and insurance. It is built for whole-house moves and takes the stress off you entirely.

How to decide

As a rule of thumb: studio to one-bed, choose man and van; two bedrooms and up — especially with packing or a long distance — choose a full removal. Our removals-vs-DIY calculator helps you compare.
