Man with a van in Upton: what it costs

How it works round here.

Upton, Dorset • Man and Van

Upton sits in the BH16 postcode area, with Hamworthy station less than a mile from the centre and Poole just over three miles down the road.

It's a compact, well-connected corner of Dorset, wedged between the water at Poole Harbour and the rolling approach to Corfe Mullen, which makes it a practical base for anyone shifting furniture or boxes locally without a long haul across the county.

Man with a Van covers the sort of moving jobs that come up again and again in a town like this: sofas, beds and wardrobes going from one house to another, appliances that need careful handling, boxes and bags for a full house move, and garden or DIY items too bulky for a car boot. Every booking includes one or two people to do the loading and unloading, blankets and straps to keep things protected on the road, and a fixed price agreed before you book, so there are no surprises when the job is done.

Whether you're moving within Upton itself or heading out towards Corfe Mullen, Poole or Merley, the price is set in advance for the trip and the van size you need, from a single item up to a full load. It's a straightforward way to get a job done without arranging your own transport or asking around for help.

A man and a van for one item within Upton 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 Upton?+

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 Upton 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.
