Whatever you need, we’ve got a van for that. Our Portsmouth man and van service can help with house removals, office removals, furniture courier services, large parcel delivery, and much more!

Booking your man and van early? Now that's a smart move! You’ll snag the best prices and get to pick from a range of dates and time slots that work for you.

63% of customers in Portsmouth book their move less than a week in advance. Need a move even sooner? Just ask! Often, we have next-day and even same-day availability.
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 Portsmouth 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.
