Man with a van in Bristol: what it costs

How it works round here.

Bristol, Bristol, City of • Man and Van

Bristol's BS5 and BS4 postcode districts sit either side of a city where parking permits and loading restrictions around Welsh Back can catch out anyone trying to shift furniture without local knowledge.

Streets near Corn Exchange and Cabot Circus get busy, and residents' bays close to the centre often need a permit before a van can even stop. Van & Driver's Man with a Van service is built for this kind of move, whether you're clearing a flat near Bristol Temple Meads, taking a wardrobe out to Long Ashton, or dropping boxes at one of the self-storage sites on Days Road or Church Road. One or two people come to load and unload, with blankets and straps included and everything covered by a fixed price agreed before you book, so there's no meter running while a sofa gets manoeuvred down a narrow staircase. The service covers sofas, beds and wardrobes, appliances, boxes and bags, and garden or DIY items, making it as suited to a single-item collection from The Galleries as it is to a full house move across the city or out towards Kingswood and Fishponds. You can book a Man with a Van for Bristol now, with prices set out clearly for trips within the city and to nearby towns, so you know the cost before anything is loaded.

Questions people ask in Bristol

Do you cover Long Ashton, Kingswood and Fishponds and Filton too?+

Yes. Prices from Bristol to Long Ashton (3.5 miles) start at £55; every nearby town has its own page with local prices.

How much is a man and van in Bristol?+

A man and a van for one item within Bristol is £55, a small load £69, a medium load £139 and a full load £349. Fixed when you book.

Do you do man with a van hire by the hour in Bristol?+

No. We price by the job, not the hour: by how much there is and the miles, fixed when you book, so it doesn’t go up if loading takes longer. Within Bristol that’s £55 for one item and £69 for a small load.

Does a man and van include help carrying?+

Yes. The driver loads and unloads with you. For heavy or bulky items such as sofas, wardrobes and fridge freezers, choose two people when you book.

Do you do tip runs in Bristol?+

Yes: single items from £70, loads from £99 (Mini) to £519 (full load), and house clearances from £599. Disposal at a licensed recycling centre is included, with a waste transfer note, and there's no charge for the distance.

Will two people come?+

When the job needs them (a sofa, a wardrobe, a fridge, or a medium load and up) two people come, and that's already in the price. We decide it from what you're moving; there's nothing to choose or pay extra for.

Is the price fixed?+

Yes. You see the whole price before you book and that's what you pay: no hourly rate, and nothing added on the day for stairs, waiting or a heavy sofa, unless what you're moving changes.

People ask

What people in Bristol type into Google, answered.

Can you dismantle a bed in Bristol?+

Taking furniture apart isn't something we price for. Put it in the dismantling notes on your booking page (say the wardrobe needs Allen keys, or the bed's already down) so the driver comes ready. Ask us on WhatsApp.

Do you bring blankets and straps?+

Yes, on every job, at no extra cost. Your things are strapped in before the van moves.

Can you move just one thing in Bristol?+

Yes. A single item within Bristol is from £55, an armchair or a washing machine, say; a sofa on its own is a little more, by size.

Do you go outside Bristol?+

Yes, anywhere in England; the price includes the miles. A single item from Bristol to Long Ashton starts at £55.

Can I give the driver a gate code or directions?+

Yes. Add them to the access notes on your booking page. Only your driver sees them, on the day.
