Thea, an AnyVan moving expert on Manchester, 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 Manchester 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 Manchester. 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.
61% of customers in Manchester 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.
Okay, let’s break it down: the main difference between a man with a van and a removals company is scale and cost. Both will provide the vehicle, plus the loading and unloading, but removals companies tend to go above and beyond with packing, furniture breakdowns, and reassembly (basically, they can do it all).
If you’ve got a whole house of furniture to move, we’d suggest looking at a removals service. But if it’s just a few items, like a big sofa, a bed, and a wardrobe, a man with a van is your best bet. It’s simpler, and way more affordable!
Sadly, for safety and legal reasons, you can’t hitch a ride with our Manchester 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 Manchester covers petrol and VAT.
Just double-check that everything’s on the inventory, have everything packed and ready when we arrive, and let us know if there are any stairs or lifts to navigate.
