Man with a van in Cowes: what it costs
How it works round here.
Cowes, Isle of Wight • Man and Van
Cowes sits on the Isle of Wight's northern tip in the PO31 postcode district, separated from East Cowes by little more than the River Medina, with Newport a short run further south.
Van & Driver is getting ready to launch a Man with a Van service here, covering the sort of moves that come up all the time on the island: sofas, beds and wardrobes, appliances, boxes and bags, garden and DIY items. Once live, the service will pair one or two people with a van for loading and unloading, using blankets and straps to keep things secure, all for a fixed price agreed before the job starts rather than anything worked out by the hour. That should suit a town like Cowes, where moves often mean crossing to East Cowes, heading down to Newport, or going further afield towards Blackfield and Langley on the mainland side of the Solent. We're not able to take bookings in Cowes just yet, as we're still bringing local partner drivers on board to cover the area properly. When the service does go live, this page will be updated so residents can book a van and driver for house moves, single-item deliveries, or clearing out garden waste and old furniture, all handled with the same fixed-price approach used elsewhere on the island.

Questions people ask in Cowes
Do you cover East Cowes, Newport and Blackfield and Langley too?+
Yes. Prices from Cowes to East Cowes (1.4 miles) start at £55; every nearby town has its own page with local prices.
How much is a man and van in Cowes?+
A man and a van for one item within Cowes 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 Cowes?+
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 Cowes 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 Cowes?+
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 Cowes type into Google, answered.
Can you dismantle a bed in Cowes?+
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 Cowes?+
Yes. A single item within Cowes 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 Cowes?+
Yes, anywhere in England; the price includes the miles. A single item from Cowes to East Cowes 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 Cowes?+
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.
