Finding the right removal service for your home shouldn't mean ringing round, waiting for callbacks, or booking blind. On Compare The Man And Van, you can see quotes from verified local drivers side by side — prices, reviews, and service options — and choose what suits your move before you commit to anything.
Not every house move is the same. Whether you want a van and driver to get the job done, or a fully managed removal with packing included, you can compare what's available for your specific property, date, and requirements — and book online in minutes.
House moves vary a lot. A light flat move is very different from emptying a four-bedroom family home. Compare The Man And Van offers three service levels so you can match the help to the job.
Great value — choose your van size and help level
Good if you can get involved, or if you're moving a lighter load and want flexibility on price.
Fully hands-off on moving day
Good if you want to arrive and unpack, without managing the heavy lifting or furniture on the day.
Fully managed, nothing for you to do
The fully managed option. From packing the first box to reassembling the last piece of furniture — all taken care of.
You'll choose your service level at the end of the quote flow, after building your inventory and getting your van recommendation.
Start with your property detailsCompare prices and reviews from verified local removal drivers in one place, then choose the van size, help level, and service that fits your job.
From flat moves and student lets to larger family homes, Compare The Man And Van gives you the information and options you need to choose the right removal service with confidence.
A few questions, a quick recommendation, and you're comparing quotes. That's it.
Select your property type and number of bedrooms to get started.
We'll pre-fill a typical inventory for your property. Adjust it room by room, and we'll handle the recommendation.
Pick Standard, Classic or Complete depending on how much help you want on moving day.
You can adjust your van size, help level, and timing at any point before you confirm. Nothing is locked in until you're happy.
Not every move needs the same level of help. A smaller flat move may only need a driver and a van, while a larger home move can need more hands, more planning and extra support on the day.
The right option usually depends on how much you are moving, whether you have help available, and how involved you want to be. You can start with your property details and compare the options before you book.
A practical choice for studios, flats, lightly furnished homes or moves where most items are already packed and ready to go.
A better fit for larger flats or family homes where you need more carrying help, heavier furniture moved and less involvement on the day.
Suited to bigger, busier or more involved moves where you want extra support from start to finish, including packing help where selected.
Your quote is based on your move details, so you can see the cost upfront before you book. Several factors shape what you'll pay.
The number of rooms, volume of items, and what you're moving all affect the van size and time needed.
Standard, Classic (with dismantling), or Complete (with packing) — each has different pricing.
Travel distance, loading, and unloading time all contribute to the overall duration of the job.
Stairs, long corridors, and distance from the van all add time. In permit zones or restricted streets, you may need to arrange a parking suspension in advance — worth checking with your local council before moving day.
End of month, Fridays, and weekends book up fast. If you're buying or selling and your completion date isn't confirmed, you can still compare quotes — bookings can be changed if your timeline shifts.
Pianos, large gym equipment, antiques, or high-value pieces need more than a standard booking. Contact us before you book and we'll make sure the right service is matched to your move.
These guides cover the practical side of moving home — from understanding what it will cost to preparing for moving day itself.

Visit the Advice HubHouse removal costs vary depending on the size of your property, how much you are moving, the service level you choose, and practical details such as access, stairs and distance. A Standard man and van booking for a smaller move will usually cost less than a Classic or Complete house move that includes extra support such as furniture dismantling or packing. The most reliable way to understand your cost is to build your inventory and compare quotes based on your specific move details.
It depends on the property size, how much you are moving, the level of help included, and the distance between the two addresses. A lightly furnished one-bedroom flat can often be completed in a few hours, while a fully furnished three or four-bedroom house may take most of the day or longer. Access also matters: stairs, lifts, long corridors and parking distance can all add time. When you build your inventory in the quote flow, you will get an estimated duration based on your move details.
Book as early as you can, especially if you are moving at the end of the month, on a Friday, or during busier spring and summer periods. A few weeks ahead is a sensible minimum for most house moves because it gives you more choice of drivers, van sizes and time slots. If your date has only just been confirmed or you need to move quickly, it is still worth checking availability because options can change daily.
For many house moves, especially flats, smaller homes and moves where you are happy to choose the van size and help level yourself, a Standard man and van booking can be a practical option. Classic or Complete may be a better fit if you want CMV to recommend the van size, time and team, or if you need furniture dismantling, reassembly or packing included. The right choice depends on how much you are moving, how much help you want, and how involved you want to be on the day.
Your quote includes the van, driver, fuel and mileage based on the collection and delivery addresses you enter. The level of loading help, and whether furniture dismantling or packing is included, depends on the service level you choose. With Standard, you choose the van size, help level and time required. Classic includes a recommended van size, time and team, plus furniture dismantling and reassembly. Complete includes everything in Classic, with packing materials and packing also included. If your move details change or the job takes longer than booked, the final cost may be affected.
Yes. Furniture dismantling and reassembly is included with Classic and Complete house moves. This can cover items such as beds, wardrobes, flat-pack furniture and similar pieces that need to be taken apart before they can be moved and rebuilt at the other end. It is not included in a Standard man and van booking, where the focus is on loading, transport and unloading.
Most household furniture and boxes are straightforward, but some items need more careful planning. This can include pianos, large gym equipment, antiques, artwork, fragile pieces or high-value items. If your move includes anything like this, contact us before booking so we can check the requirements and help match the right service to your job.
Yes. Drivers on our platform are fully verified to confirm their identity and right to work. We also ensure they are fully insured for Public Liability, Goods In Transit and Hire and Reward.
If you have specific requirements, such as high-value items or building rules, it is best to discuss them with your driver before the move.
Yes. If you need to make changes after booking, please contact our support team as soon as possible.
Straightforward changes may be handled directly with your driver. Larger changes, cancellations, and booking updates are covered by our refunds and cancellations policy.
