About Our Man and Van Services

Our man and van service — a man with a van, or a two-person crew when a job needs it — across Sussex, Surrey and Hampshire is ideally suited to students and people moving in and out of rental properties who have fewer items to move, making it an extremely cost-effective option. It’s tempting to move items yourself by hiring a van and asking friends to help — but that often risks damage or injury.

With Wolves Man and Van you know your belongings are handled by professionals, and you don’t have to worry about hurting yourself or causing any damage. Our service is also ideal for office moves and business relocation — we can move anything to anywhere.

When a Man and Van Beats a Full Removal

The skill in choosing a man and van service lies in matching the job to the right level of resource. After years of moving families and businesses across Sussex, we’ve learned that a single van and a capable mover is the smart, cost-effective choice for a clearly defined set of jobs — and an unnecessary expense for others. A man and van works brilliantly when the volume is modest and the route is straightforward: a one or two-bedroom flat with no excess furniture, a handful of boxes and a sofa, a few pieces of large furniture being relocated, or a part-load that doesn’t justify a full crew. If you can picture everything fitting comfortably in one Luton van with room to spare, a man and van is almost always the leaner option.

Where it stops being the right call is when the property is substantial, the access is awkward over multiple floors, or the timeline is tight enough that one or two people simply can’t shift everything inside the day. A three or four-bedroom house packed to capacity, or a home that needs careful dismantling and wrapping of antique and high-value pieces, is better served by our full house removals service, where a larger team and bigger vehicle keep the day on schedule. We’ll always give you an honest steer at the quote stage — if a man and van genuinely won’t cut it, we’d rather tell you upfront than leave you short on the day.

Single Items, Part-Loads & Marketplace Pickups

Some of our busiest man and van work involves moving just one or two things — and these jobs deserve as much care as a full house move. We regularly collect single items such as a wardrobe, a dining table, a washing machine or a three-seater sofa, and we handle marketplace and online purchases that need a careful pair of hands to get them home in one piece. If you’ve bought a piece of furniture on a buy-and-sell site, won an auction lot, or are sending an item to a relative across the county, a man and van is purpose-built for the task.

We bring the equipment that makes these collections painless instead of a wrestling match, including straps, blankets, trolleys and protective wrap. Our movers know how to read a piece before lifting it — checking whether a leg unscrews, whether a door panel needs taping, or whether a glass shelf travels safer in the cab. Typical single-item and part-load jobs we cover include:

  • Marketplace and auction collections from a seller’s address to yours
  • Furniture deliveries and one-off drop-offs across Sussex and the bordering counties
  • Appliance moves — fridges, freezers, washing machines and tumble dryers
  • Part-loads where you only need a portion of a van, not the whole vehicle
  • Transporting a single bulky purchase that won’t fit in a car

Student Moves & Small Flat Relocations

Student life means moving often and travelling light, which makes a man and van the natural fit. End-of-term clear-outs, the dash between halls and a shared house, or relocating from a studio into your first proper flat all tend to come down to a few boxes, a desk, a mattress and the contents of a wardrobe — exactly the kind of load one van handles in a single, well-planned run. We’re used to the realities of student timetables and tight tenancy hand-overs, and we work quickly without ever treating your belongings carelessly. If you’re heading to or from a campus in the region, our dedicated student removals service sits alongside our man and van work to keep costs down for those on a budget.

Small flat relocations follow the same logic. A first move out of a parental home, a downsize after the children have left, or shifting between two rented flats rarely needs a full removal team. We’ll bring the van, do the lifting and loading, and keep the day moving so you’re settled in your new place without a long, draining wait. For couples and individuals across West Sussex and the surrounding area, a man and van strikes the right balance between affordability and a properly professional service.

What’s Included — Loading Help, Care & Protection

Our man and van service is more than a driver and a vehicle. Every booking comes with experienced loading help, because how a van is packed determines whether everything arrives undamaged. Our movers stack heavy items low, secure them with ratchet straps against the van rails, and slot fragile or oddly shaped pieces where they won’t shift in transit. We carry moving blankets and protective wrap as standard, so furniture is shielded from knocks against doorframes, walls and other items on the journey.

As a family-run Sussex company, we treat your belongings the way we’d treat our own. We’re fully insured with full insurance and public liability cover, a LAPADA Approved Service Provider and Checkatrade-verified, and we’re recommended by respected local agents including Fine & Country, Justin Lloyd and Mansell McTaggart — the kind of trust that doesn’t come from cutting corners. A standard man and van booking includes:

  • A clean, well-maintained van sized to your load
  • One or more uniformed movers to handle the lifting and carrying
  • Blankets, straps and protective wrapping for furniture
  • Careful loading and secure stacking so nothing shifts in transit
  • Full insurance cover on every job

If your move also needs boxes and protection sorted before collection day, our full packing service can take that off your hands too.

Access, Parking & Booking Your Slot

The smoothest man and van jobs are the ones where we’ve thought about access before we arrive. Tight lanes, controlled parking zones, narrow stairwells, lifts with size limits and timed loading bays all affect how long a job takes and where the van can sit. When you book, let us know about anything unusual at either end — a third-floor flat with no lift, a permit-only street, a shared driveway or a property set well back from the road — and we’ll plan the day around it. If a parking suspension or permit is needed, it’s worth arranging in advance so we’re not circling the block on the day.

Booking a slot is straightforward. Tell us what you’re moving, the two addresses, and your preferred date, and we’ll confirm a time that works. Because we operate across West and East Sussex, Surrey, Hampshire and Kent from our base at Dorlyn House in Ashington, near Pulborough, we can usually fit local man and van jobs in at short notice. To get started, request a no-obligation quote, review our straightforward pricing, or call the team on 01903 893731. You can also email [email protected] and we’ll come straight back to you.

Clearing a Few Rooms & Bridging Moves

A man and van is ideal when you need to clear just part of a property, not the whole thing — a spare room, a garage, or the contents of a flat being readied for sale or new tenants. We can move what you’re keeping to a new home or into containerised storage, and where a property needs fully emptying of unwanted items, our separate house clearance service handles the heavier, end-to-end work. The two pair up neatly: a man and van shifts the pieces you’re holding on to, while clearance deals with the rest.

Bridging moves are another common use — the in-between trips that crop up when completion dates don’t line up, when you’re moving belongings ahead of the main move, or when furniture needs relocating into storage for a few weeks. As a long-established local firm that has worked in this area since 2016, we know the routes, the awkward streets and the realities of Sussex moving days. Whatever the scale, you can read more about our family-run team and the care we bring to every job, large or small.

Man and Van — Your Questions Answered

Our man and van service starts from £80, with hourly charges from depot to depot, and the exact price depends on the size of the load, the distance and how much lifting is involved. A single item across town is a very different job from a small flat move to the next county, so we give you a fixed figure once we know what you are moving and where. There are no hidden fees: the price we quote is the price you pay. For the surest number, tell us the pickup and drop-off towns and roughly what needs shifting and request a quote, and we will confirm it in writing.

Yes — a man and van in Billingshurst is one of our most regular jobs, and we cover mid-Sussex thoroughly, including Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Cuckfield and the villages around them. Because we are based near Pulborough, a van and crew can usually reach these towns the same week, often at short notice for a single item or a part-load. Whether it is a student move, a marketplace pickup or clearing a room before a bigger move, tell us the town and what needs shifting when you request a quote, and we will give you a fixed price. You can also see the full local service on our Billingshurst and Haywards Heath removals pages.

Yes — we run man with a van jobs across East Sussex as well, with Uckfield, Burgess Hill, Lewes and the surrounding villages all within easy reach. A single driver with a fully equipped van suits smaller loads and single items, while a two-person crew handles anything heavier or trickier to carry. We bring blankets, straps and trolleys as standard, so your belongings travel as carefully on a man-and-van job as they would on a full removal. Because we are only a short run from East Sussex, we can often fit a smaller job in at short notice. Let us know the East Sussex town and roughly what you are moving, and we will confirm a fixed price. Our Uckfield and Burgess Hill removals pages set out the wider service.

Yes — our man and van work reaches beyond Sussex into Hampshire and Surrey, and right along the coast. Petersfield in Hampshire, Horley and the Gatwick area in Surrey, and Bognor Regis and Shoreham-by-Sea on the coast are all regular runs for us. Because it is the same crews and vans that handle our full removals, distance changes the price rather than the level of care, and we are happy to quote a longer man-with-a-van run the same way as a local one. Tell us the pickup and drop-off towns and what needs moving, and we will send a fixed written price. See the Petersfield, Horley and Bognor Regis pages for local detail.

Absolutely — a man and van suits smaller office and business jobs well: a few desks and chairs, IT equipment, archive boxes or a small studio relocation are all comfortable single-van work. We handle the lifting and stacking, wrap anything fragile, and can work around your opening hours, including an early start or an evening slot, to keep disruption down. For a larger relocation with a full office of workstations, servers or a phased move across floors, our commercial removals service gives you a bigger team, a project plan and minimal downtime. Tell us the size of the office when you request a quote and we will point you to the right option and a fixed price.

A single man and van comfortably handles anything from one item up to roughly a one or two-bedroom flat’s worth of furniture and boxes, depending on access. If your move is bigger than that — a busy three or four-bedroom house, for example — we’ll usually recommend our full house removals service with a larger team and vehicle so everything is moved safely within the day. For a part-load between the two, a single van with one or two crew usually strikes the right balance of cost and capacity, and we will tell you honestly which fits your move when you describe it. If you are not sure whether your load is a man-and-van job or a full removal, send us a rough list of what needs moving and we will point you to the right service and a fixed price.

We do far more than drive. Every man and van booking includes hands-on loading help from experienced movers who carry, wrap and securely stack your belongings. We bring blankets, straps and trolleys as standard, so heavy and awkward items are handled properly, not left for you to wrestle with. On a man-with-a-van booking you can choose a single driver for lighter loads or a two-person crew for anything heavier or up and down stairs, and we will advise which suits the job. The only time you do the lifting is if you specifically book a van-and-driver-only option to keep the cost down, and even then we load safely at our end.

Yes — single-item collections are one of our most common jobs. Whether it’s a sofa, a wardrobe, an appliance or something you’ve bought on a buy-and-sell or auction site, we’ll collect it from the seller and deliver it to you across Sussex and the neighbouring counties, fully wrapped and insured for the journey. Marketplace pickups often come with tight collection windows or awkward access at the seller’s end, so we coordinate the timing and bring the straps and blankets to protect the piece from the moment it is lifted. Tell us the item and the two addresses when you request a quote and we will give you a fixed price for the collection and delivery.

Booking is simple: tell us what you’re moving, the two addresses and your preferred date through our quote form, or call 01903 893731. For local man and van work we can often accommodate short-notice slots, though booking ahead helps secure your ideal time — especially around busy weekends and month-end completion dates. Once your slot is confirmed we hold it for you, and your quote is fixed rather than an estimate that creeps up on the day. If your dates are still moving, such as a rental handover or a chain that has not settled, book anyway and we will adjust the plan as things firm up instead of making you start over.
