What we help with

Smaller jobs, done properly

Not every move needs a full removals crew. If it fits in a van, we'll wrap it, load it and get it there safely.

01

Single Items

A sofa, bed, fridge, wardrobe or marketplace purchase collected and delivered the same day.

02

Studio & One-Bed Flats

Small moves across the city handled quickly, including stair carries and shared entrances.

03

Student Moves

End-of-term and house-share moves around the colleges, Mill Road and Chesterton.

04

Collections & Deliveries

Furniture shops, warehouses, auction lots and online purchases picked up on your behalf.

05

Part Moves

A few rooms, a garage or a shed's worth of items when you don't need a full removal.

06

Clearances & Tip Runs

Unwanted furniture and household items removed and taken to a licensed disposal point.

FAQs

Man & van FAQs

How much does man and van hire cost in Cambridge?

It depends on the number of items, the crew size and the distance. Small local jobs are usually a short fixed-price booking; send us a list or photo and we'll confirm the exact price up front.

Is it one man or two?

Standard bookings are one mover with a van, with a second mover available for heavier items, stair carries or tighter timings. We'll advise which you need.

Can you help the same day?

Often, yes. Availability varies, especially at month-end and during the summer, so call 01223 651007 or message us on WhatsApp for the quickest answer.

What size van do you use?

A Luton van with a tail lift for most jobs, which comfortably takes a studio or one-bed flat's contents plus larger single items.

Do you help with loading and carrying?

Yes — carrying, loading, securing and unloading are all part of the service. You don't need to lift anything.

Can you collect an item I've bought?

Yes. Give us the seller's address and contact details and we'll collect and deliver it to you.

What can't you move?

Hazardous or flammable goods, and anything unsafe to lift without specialist equipment. Mention pianos, safes or very heavy items in advance so we can plan properly.

Do you take items away for disposal?

Yes, we can clear unwanted furniture and household items and take them to a licensed disposal site — just ask when booking.

Need a van and a pair of safe hands?

Send a quick list or a photo of what needs moving and we'll come straight back with a fixed price and the next available slot.
