Questions people ask in Colchester
Do you cover Berechurch, Wivenhoe and Brightlingsea too?+
Yes. Prices from Colchester to Berechurch (2 miles) start at £55; every nearby town has its own page with local prices.
How much is a man and van in Colchester?+
A man and a van for one item within Colchester 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 Colchester?+
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 Colchester 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 Colchester?+
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 Colchester type into Google, answered.
Can you dismantle a bed in Colchester?+
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 Colchester?+
Yes. A single item within Colchester 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 Colchester?+
Yes, anywhere in England; the price includes the miles. A single item from Colchester to Berechurch 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.
Can I book a man and van for tomorrow in Colchester?+
Yes, if a partner's free: you can book today until 3pm or any day after, and the days you can pick are the days someone can do it.
