The cost of a man and van in Chelmsford comes down to three things: how much you're moving, how far it needs to go, and whether one person can handle it or you need two. For most jobs in Chelmsford, that works out at £81 for a one-person team, or £119 for two.
Unlike most man and van providers – who charge by the hour – AnyVan sets prices by inventory and distance. There's no meter running while the job's underway.
| Team size | Average price in Chelmsford | Equivalent cost per hour | Best for… |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-person | £81 | £35 | Single furniture item |
| 2-person | £81 | £50 | Large/heavy items or small house moves |

Thea, an AnyVan moving expert on Chelmsford, has heard it all! Here are her most-asked questions:
Got stuff to move? Don’t worry, we’ve got a van for that! Whether it’s a house move, office move, furniture delivery, or a giant parcel – if it’s got to go, we’re your go-to team!
Forget about renting a van and doing all the heavy lifting yourself. We’ve got you covered with loading and unloading, so you don’t have to lift a finger – except to point to where it goes!
Tell us what you’re moving, and we’ll pair you up with a local expert in Chelmsford who knows exactly how to get it done.
In less than 2 minutes, our super simple online form will give you a quote for a local man and van in Chelmsford. All you need is three bits of info:
Then, pick a time slot that works for you and add any extras – like an extra pair of hands if you need 'em. And just like that, you're good to go!
Booking your man and van in advance is a smart move – it means better prices, plus a choice of dates and time slots to suit your schedule. But hey, we get it – plans change, and sometimes you need help at the last minute. No worries! At AnyVan, we’re here for you seven days a week, including same-day or same-week moves.
In fact, 71% of customers in Chelmsford book and complete their move within seven days.
Our helpful mover will take care of unloading and loading your items as part of our man and van service. But, they won’t pack your items.
If you’re moving a large number of items you may need our removals service, which can include packing – at an extra cost.
The main differences between a man with a van company and a removals company are the size of the move they carry out and the cost. Both services will include the vehicle hire, loading and unloading, but removal companies usually also offer packing or furniture dismantling/reassembly.
Chances are you’ll need a removal service if you’re moving a fully furnished house as there’ll be a fair few items to move. If you’re just moving a couple of pieces of furniture, a man with a van is probably a better option.
Sadly, for safety and legal reasons, you can’t hitch a ride with our Chelmsford man and van service (sorry!).
If you want to be there for the pick-up and drop-off, you’ll need to sort your own travel.
Nope, no hidden costs here! The price of a man and a van in Chelmsford covers petrol and VAT.
