Man with a van in Reading: what it costs
How it works round here.
Reading, Reading • Man and Van
Reading's terraced streets around RG1 and RG30 are notorious for permit-only parking bays, which is exactly the kind of hassle a fixed-price man with a van is built to handle.
Whether you're moving out of a flat near the Royal Berkshire Hospital, clearing a room at one of the University of Reading's campuses, or shifting furniture to a new place over in Caversham, 2.5 miles away, you can book one or two people and a van for a set price with no surprises on the day. The service covers sofas, beds and wardrobes, appliances, boxes and bags, and garden or DIY items, with blankets and straps included to keep everything protected during loading and unloading.
Reading's mix of retail parks, storage sites and a busy town centre means vans are often squeezed for space, so having help that knows how to load efficiently and get in and out of tight streets matters. The same fixed pricing applies whether you're moving within Reading itself or heading out to Shinfield, Woodley or Caversham, so there's no need to work out mileage or haggle over time on site. You simply choose single item, half van or full van cover, get a price upfront, and book for the day that suits you.

A man and a van for one item within Reading 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 Reading?+
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 Reading 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.

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.

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