What Is a Man and Van Service?

Man and Van vs House Removals
A man and van service and a full house removal both help customers move their belongings, but they are designed for different types of jobs.
| Man and Van | House Removals |
| Single items and smaller loads | Full house moves |
| Usually 1 van and 1–2 movers | Larger teams available |
| Ideal for 1-bed flats and student moves | Ideal for family homes |
| More affordable for smaller jobs | Better for larger moves |
| Flexible and often available at short notice | Better suited to planned relocations |
If you’re unsure which service is right for you, contact ShiftMate Removals and we’ll recommend the most suitable option based on the size of your move.

| Service | Price |
| Driver + 1 Mover – Luton Van | From £60/hr (2hr minimum) |
