The cost of a man and van in Colchester 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 Colchester, 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 Colchester | Equivalent cost per hour | Best for… |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-person | £81 | £35 | Single furniture item |
| 2-person | £81 | £50 | Large/heavy items or small house moves |
Every move is different, so if you’ve got stuff to shift a few doors down in Colchester or your Pouffes and footstools needs to go to the other end of the country, your cost will look a little different! Our man and van services start from £26 but we’ll make sure you get a quote tailored to your move, and could even help you save up to 40% on your move. Not bad, huh?
And, because every move matters, we include £50k fire and theft cover on every booking (see T&Cs for details). Plans changed? You can edit or cancel your booking up to 48 hours before your move. Moving with us is flexible, affordable, and easy.
You're only streets away from a local, fully vetted man and van team in Colchester – every one is verified, and rated by real customers, so every job is in safe hands.

Whatever you need, we’ve got a van for that. Our Colchester man and van service can help with house removals, office removals, furniture courier services, large parcel delivery, and much more!
With our man and van service, you don’t need to rent a van, or do any loading or unloading – let us carry the load. Tell us what you’re moving and we’ll match you with the right team.
In less than 2 minutes, our super simple online form will give you a quote for a local man and van in Colchester. 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 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.
65% of customers in Colchester 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.
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.
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!
Sadly, for safety and legal reasons, you can’t hitch a ride with our Colchester 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.
No. The price you pay for a man and a van in Colchester already includes petrol and VAT.
Just make sure your inventory is up-to-date, everything’s packed and ready to go when we show up, and let us know if there are any stairs or lifts – so we can bring our A-game!
I sure hope so! We're the nation's favourite moving service for good reason having moved over 6,263 boxes in Colchester. We can move everything from a 4–bed family home to your vintage coat collection. Our most popular services are:
