When to choose man and van vs house removals

Man and van suits lighter loads, student moves and single items. A whole family home with lots of furniture is usually better as a house removal — either on the property-size bands or at £75 per hour with a 3-hour minimum.

What to tell your provider

List the main items, floors and whether a lift is available. Mention parking restrictions and whether you need help loading and unloading at both addresses.
