The jobs
Six reasons somebody books a van
Five of them are ours. The sixth is the one we send elsewhere.
Every other van site in this city lists what it will carry. This one is arranged around why you would book a van at all instead of a removals firm — which is the question people are actually asking.

Buying and collecting
You have bought something. It needs collecting.
Marketplace and auction collections You bought something from a stranger and it will not go in a car. Two peopleSame vehicle throughoutSeller's addressNo cash handled The single commonest reason anybody books a van in this city. Something was bought from a marketplace seller, a saleroom, a shop with no delivery or a warehouse, and it has to get from their address to yours intact.

A wardrobe to a new flat. A dining table across town. One object, two addresses, and no interest whatever in a removals survey — a van is exactly the right tool and a firm would be the wrong one.

Moving a room, not a home
You own less than a household. A firm would be overkill.
A room, not a home You are moving your own things out of somebody else's furnished flat. Student movesFlat-sharesEnd of tenancyBoxes and a bed Flat-shares, student rooms, lodgings and anywhere the furniture belongs to the landlord. What you actually own is boxes, clothes, a bike, a desk and maybe a mattress — a quarter of a van, and nothing a removal firm would know how to price.

Ground-floor unitsTrolley providedTwo addressesPart loads Storage runs are their own thing: a unit with a corridor and a goods lift, a booking window, and a load that is usually going in stages rather than all at once. Ordinary van work and rarely worth a firm. Read the page
Work, not home
It is a business load and it is too small for a contract.
Not a van job
The jobs we turn down, and what to book instead.
Tell us what it is and where it is
If it is not a van job we will say so, and say what to book instead.
Both addresses, what the item is, what floor each end is on, and a photograph of the biggest thing. That is enough for a straight answer and a written price.
