Affordable man & van services covering Newton Abbot, Exeter and beyond

 
 

Are you looking for a man and van in Newton Abbot and surrounding areas?

Our Devon man & van service offers a low cost option which is the ideal choice if you are not looking for a full removal service. Whilst our removal service includes multiple vehicles, different size teams, furniture dismantling / assembly, packing options, storage and more, we also like to have an alternative option for those who may just want a sofa collected from Facebook or Gumtree, or perhaps just need a van and are happy to help the loading and unloading.

Empire Removals are actively trying to bridge the gap between ‘man and van’ and ‘removal company’. We believe we have created a man and van service which has a lot of the qualities and standards of our full removal services, but offers a more affordable option for those who have less to move but still want it done properly.

See further down for our special ‘Saturday only man and van’ offer.

What does a man and a van do?

Who does our man and van option suit? There are a number of reasons that you may need a man and van in Devon. A few of these reasons could be:

  • You only require a single item of furniture to be delivered and collected

  • You have a few large items to move but not a full house load

  • You may need a van and some man power for the morning to move items into storage

  • You require a student move service to or from your student accommodation

  • You need a van to collect furniture from IKEA in Exeter for example

Whatever the reason maybe, using our man and van service will be a good choice for you. Our man and van will still offer the same ethos as our removals which is to offer a professional, stress-free service. Our vans are fitted with blankets, ties and tools for the job.

How much does a man and van cost?

A man and van option can be less than you may think. Unlike our full removal services, we do not need to book quotation surveys, block out one or more days for a full move and allow for delays caused by completion issues. Not having to do this means we can we charge accordingly.

We offer fixed prices for individual furniture deliveries etc, whilst we can offer an hourly rate where there are multiple items.

To view our Saturday availability in our online calendar, click the below link. You can also choose your day and book online via card payment with just a few simple clicks. If you wish to discuss alternative methods of payment then you can call or message us and we can discuss and book you in over the phone or via email.

Please note we will arrive at your property for 09:00am (traffic dependent) and finish at 15:00pm. The charge is a set fee of £360.00, regardless of whether we finish within the 6 hours. This can include multiple trips back and forth from each property if required, as long as it remains within the 6 hours. Should you want additional time on top of the 6 hours, this can be arranged for an additional charge. The price covers travel / fuel for up to 20 miles. Additional mileage will be charged at £0.50p per mile.

Is it cheaper to hire a van or a man with a van?

You may have the temptation to hire a van and ask friends and family to help. First of all by the time you factor in van hire, fuel and additional insurances from van hire places, you could actually end up paying more than if you asked us to move your item(s). You will also run the risk of injury if you try to move yourselves. Heavy furniture needs to be lifted properly and safely, our staff are trained and used to this. Eliminate the risk of injury or damage to the furniture by employing us to do the hard work for you.

We can supply one van and one driver if you want to keep the cost down, or we can have two staff and one van if you would rather pay a little extra and not have to worry about helping.

Our ethos at Empire Removals is that you should not receive a less professional service just because you have less to move. When using our man & van option, you get the same professional approach to moving that our removals service provides, just on a smaller scale. . Whilst a man and van is not the right option for a large move or a house move in a chain due to time restrictions, it can be a very useful service if done correctly for a range of customers.

How do I book a man and van in Devon?

You can use any of the following methods to get a quick price and check our availability:

  • Call us 01626 211469

  • Text or Whatsapp on 07707 003155

  • Email us on info@empireremovalssouthwest.co.uk

  • Fill in our contact form on the website

So whether you need a man and van to collect a single piece of furniture, or whether you want to hire our van and 2 staff to carry out a small move at an affordable rate then please contact us and we will be happy to help.

Please note this is not suited to all customers. If you are moving in a chain, buying and selling with possible key waits and delayed access then you will require our full removal service which allows for these circumstances and includes extras such as packing, furniture dismantling, delayed access etc. Likewise, if you have a large amount to move, or require a larger team due to access, extremely heavy items etc then please do not select this option.
