- Large van (about 13m³): Suitable for a 1 to 2 bedroom flat or small 2-bedroom house with average furniture.

Moving something heavy or awkward like a piano or a wardrobe? Add a note when you enter your job details so the driver you choose knows what to expect.
How Long Should I Book For?
The time you’ll need to book your man with a van service depends on factors like how easy it is to park and access both your pickup and drop-off locations (for example, if there are stairs or how many items you have, which affects the van size), as well as the distance between the two places.
Estimated time: around 3.6 hours
