Man with a van in Swanage: what it costs
How it works round here.
Swanage, Dorset • Man and Van
Swanage, tucked into the BH19 postcode area on the Purbeck coast, has its own recycling centre just 0.4 miles from the town centre, which says something about how compact this seaside town really is.
Getting a sofa, wardrobe or a run of garden waste from a terraced house near the seafront out to the tip, or further afield to Poole, Wareham or Upton, usually means navigating narrow streets before joining the road out towards Corfe Mullen or Bournemouth. Van & Driver's Man with a Van service is built for jobs like this. You book one or two people to do the loading and unloading, bring blankets and straps to protect your things, and agree a fixed price before anyone turns up, so there's no meter running and no surprises at the end. The service covers sofas, beds and wardrobes, appliances, boxes and bags, and garden or DIY items, whether you're clearing a single armchair or filling a van for a full house move. Prices are set by the trip, so a move within Swanage itself is priced differently to a run out to Poole, Wareham or Upton, and you'll see the exact figure before you commit. It suits anyone shifting furniture between properties, taking a mattress to the recycling centre, or emptying a garage before putting a house on the market, without the hassle of hiring a van yourself.

Questions people ask in Swanage
Do you cover Poole, Wareham and Upton too?+
Yes. Prices from Swanage to Poole (7.8 miles) start at £55; every nearby town has its own page with local prices.
How much is a man and van in Swanage?+
A man and a van for one item within Swanage 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 Swanage?+
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 Swanage 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.

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 Swanage type into Google, answered.
Can you dismantle a bed in Swanage?+
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 Swanage?+
Yes. A single item within Swanage 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 Swanage?+
Yes, anywhere in England; the price includes the miles. A single item from Swanage to Poole 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 Swanage?+
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.
