Barking man and van hire – what affects the price?
Most man and van jobs in Barking come down to one question: do you need one person or two? A one-person team handles single items well – a sofa, a wardrobe, the usual suspects. Two people are the better call for heavier or bulkier loads, or if you're clearing a whole flat.
In Barking, that works out to £73 for a one-person team and £112 for two. Both are fixed prices, set by your inventory and distance.
| Team size | Average price in Barking | Equivalent cost per hour | Best for… |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-person | £73 | £37 | Single furniture item |
| 2-person | £73 | £53 | Large/heavy items or small house moves |

Tell us what you’re moving and we’ll match you with a local expert.
How do I get a quote for a man and van in Barking?
Easy! It takes less than 2 minutes to get a quote for a local man and van in Barking. All you need to hand is three pieces of info:
- 1. Pick-up and drop-off locations
- 2. The items you’re moving
- 3. Your preferred day
You can then choose the time slot that works best for you and any extras, like a spare pair of hands. You’re on your way!
Shall I arrange a man and van service ahead of time?
Booking your man and van service in advance means you’re more likely to get a better price, as well as choice of dates and time slots.
But we know plans change so, at AnyVan we’re available seven days a week. This even includes same-day and same-week services if that’s what you need.
74% of customers in Barking book their move less than seven days in advance. Remember, you can change your booking at any point up to 48 hours before the move and there’s nothing to pay until 72 hours before you move.
Can a man and van service do the packing and unpacking for me?
Our friendly mover will lend a hand with loading and unloading your things as part of the man and van service. However, they won’t be packing your stuff up for you – think of them as the muscle, not the organiser!
If you’ve got a mountain of items to move, you might want to consider our removals service, which can include packing for an extra fee.
What’s the difference between a man and van and a removal company?
What’s the difference between a man with a van and a removals company? The biggest difference is the size and cost of the move. Both options will sort you with a vehicle, plus the loading and unloading, but removals services go the extra mile with things like packing, furniture dismantling, and reassembly.
If you’re moving a house full of furniture, you’ll probably want a removals team to handle the heavy lifting (literally). But if it’s just a few pieces of furniture that you’re shifting, a man with a van is your budget-friendly, no-fuss solution!
Can I ride with my man and van service?
Sadly, you can't ride along with our Barking man and van service (boo!).
This is for safety and legal reasons. If you'd like to be there for pick-up and drop-off, you'll need to sort your own travel. We’ll take care of all the heavy lifting!
Are there any additional charges?
Nope! Nada! The cost of a man and a van in Barking includes petrol and VAT.
Just make sure you have included everything in your inventory, have everything ready on time for collection, and let us know if the team needs to navigate any stairs or lifts.
