Gold rated man and van driver based in Ilford, E5
For smaller East London jobs, The Man & Van Co. is a practical option if you’re comparing London man and van drivers. Small and medium vans make them a good fit for boxes, furniture, student belongings or smaller flat moves where a straightforward setup is enough.
Small and medium vans are best for lighter or mid-sized jobs rather than moves that need a large or Luton van. That keeps the service simple if you know your move is on the smaller side.
You can choose your van size and loading help when comparing quotes.
The Man & Van Co. is based around Ilford and works well for East London routes, especially Redbridge, Hackney, Waltham Forest and Newham, with London-wide jobs still possible.
The Man & Van Co. is praised for helpful service, good communication and a friendly approach. They are a useful option if you want a straightforward East London driver for a smaller move.
The gentleman was timely and kept us informed of exactly when he was going to arrive etc and what to expect. He accommodated us when we needed 2 passenger seats and overall provided great service. Will definitely use this site again!
He got in touch ahead of the pickup to chat through the extra costs involved (congestion charge and toll), and recommended a different vehicle based on my items - which was spot on! He also stopped for us on the way to deposit some items to a charity shop.

Great attitude and nothing beats a great attitude.
my only issue was with the driver that cancelled. but the customer support made it up and found a solution so I am grateful
Everything was done in the end of course but I did not like bargaining from the driver. He arrived 20 minutes early, when I was not ready to start loading the van. Although we finished offloading 20 minutes before my the slot officially ended, the driver demanded to be paid extra 30 minutes, which is ridiculous. ULEZ of course had to be paid extra in cash, driver carries no change so why not have bank transfer as the first option? Bit disappointed with the driver trying to get more money without any reason.
It was a great experience. Thanks so much. Very professional and good service.

He was nice but a bit late , but can't compalin as this is very understandable in London during rush hours. I really loved that they called me to ensure I get the right size van, first I requested small one but them having seen my stuff description they called me and ensured that I get the right size for the description that I gave so I changed from small to medium van otherwise I would have had to either leave part of my stuff or collect them on another around which would have costed me much more.

Such a nice driver, on time and very helpful!
Very friendly and helpful being able to assist last minute.
He arrived on time, in fact a little rally, equipped for the job at hand. Will definitely book him again and recommend him to others.
The driver arrived even 10 minutes earlier. Great experience! I do highly recommend
Really lovely and helpful driver, on time, friendly, helpful, and patient!
Friendly and helpful driver; good communication about delay in arriving due to heavy traffic; the transport itself was handled quickly and safely. No complaints.
My driver was amazing and so helpful, though my booking was cancelled 4 hours before it was expected - and the CTMAV customer services had no idea how to solve it or what had happened. This is absolutely no criticism of the driver at all, though your customer service really needs to improve. Thanks!
The driver and overall service was amazing & very helpful — price almost doubled due to Ulez/congestion charges though (not the drivers fault, but worth bearing in mind)
Absolutely fantastic service and would absolutely use again
Absolutely amazing experience. I will be booking the same driver again next Monday. Brilliant service, seriously if I could give more stars I would.
Amazing job! Fast and efficient
Our driver was punctual and helpful loading the items. We weren't aware there was a load limit for the van. It would have been good to be able to fill the van completely. Otherwise he was friendly and did the job well.
I was called by the driver and was told that I needed to cover the congestion charge and the ULEZ charge. I had to do my own google search after to realise that there is no congestion charge between Christmas and new year and told the driver about it. But i still had to transfer him £12.50 for the ULEZ. I wonder shouldn’t these extra charges should be covered in the initial quote already?
Rajesh has been very nice and helpful, thank you so much!
Very helpful, contacted me before to let me know the van I chose was too small, help me moving the boxes, friendly gentleman. I recommend ++
My driver was great. Helpful and very careful with my items. However arrival was over 1,5 hours late and I was asked to pay an extra £70 that wasn’t included in the original cost
Great service and communication. Disappointing that quote didn’t include London charges, as obvious from addresses given the charges would be incurred. Would recommend, but bear in mind extra charges when comparing.
Pickup was reserved for 10AM. The driver did not actually arrive until 3:30PM. There were no meaningful updates and no explanation other than “traffic” for the extreme delay.
The driver did not turn up and was not contactable, nor was CMV only by on online bot... I would absolutely never use this service again and will let everyone I never to never use it. Unacceptable. Made what should have been an easy move an extremely stressful and upsetting day
Excellent service, the journey was quick and fast. Definitely would use again and recommend to others
Very responsible driver. He called the day before to double confirm the luggages I have, the pick up time and location and drop off location. Safe driving during the journey. Highly recommended.
Everything was perfect and the guys were helpful
Driver was cool, he was a replacement for the guy I booked. 1 hour late but not his fault. Disappointed the price was not as advertised, the extra charges should be included on the invoice and I shouldn't have to pay extra based on a random text. Overall the driver was great but I won't use the service again as pricing was not clear.
I had to cancel this booking. The driver called me about 20 mind before he was due to arrive. He questioned me about the stuff I had to move and insisted a small can would not be big enough. He then said he would have to check the depot and may turn up with a large van. And he was going to he very late. In the 3nd I got all of my stuff into the boot if an Uber Excel! I will he asking for a refund.
My driver was absolutely lovely, but the last minute change of van from small to medium with an extra charge was a slap in the face.
This driver was very helpful , patient and courteous
Over an hour late and seemed to have trouble navigating.
The company charged me more than the total that appears on the website.
Excellent service would recommend and will use again
He was absolutely fantastic. So kind and so helpful. I had been so nervous about the move but he was just excellent and I really appreciated his care and help. Would strongly recommend him to everyone
Very pleased with the high standard of service and very kind and helpful driver.

Raj was really friendly and helpful; I wouldn't hesitate to book him again.

I paid a £100 and for a mattress, tumble dry and 4 chairs and there was still plenty of space for bags but he wasn't happy us putting bags in.wouldnt use it again.

I was kept up to date on the lateness issue - it’s London !!!
Rajesh is a very decent young man. A pleasure to deal with and ensured the task of moving a awkward large object was successful.

The company booked via Compare the Man and Van did a great job, Rajesh and his colleague were very professional, polite, they did all the moving job quite quicky and with positive attitude and a smile on their face. They also contacted me in advance of the appointment to inform me of a small delay beyond their control, so all went well. Boxes reached in good condition. I would definitely recommend them :)
Rajesh was super friendly and professional. Booked him for an hour but all was done much quicker than that!
Absolutely wonderful experience and couldn't recommend higher. The planned large van had a broken tyre so we did two trips in the medium van. Lots of carrying and helping and we're very happy.
Rajesh was a fantastic help to us moving quite a large amount of furniture and belongings. Very friendly and great service! Will definitely use again.
The driver was polite, and a pleasure to talk to. Thank you for the good service!
