What we can move

Big, small or awkward. We'll shift it.

Not every job needs a removals firm and a lorry. Our man with a van service is for everything in between: a few pieces of furniture, a one-bed flat, or something heavy that needs two people and a van.

We've been moving and clearing homes around Norfolk for over 20 years, so we know how to get a wardrobe down a narrow staircase without marking the walls.

Small house & flat moves

Studio, one and two-bed moves where you don't need a full removals crew.

Single items

A sofa, a bed, a wardrobe or a fridge. One item is a perfectly good reason to call.

Boxes & belongings

Packed boxes, bags and loose items loaded, moved and carried in at the other end.

Appliances

Washing machines, fridges and freezers moved safely and kept the right way up.

Business & shop jobs

Stock, display units and office furniture moved between sites.

Student moves

Halls and shared houses at the start and end of term.

Why use a local team

Two people, one van, no fuss.

Some jobs just need an extra pair of hands. We do the heavy lifting, look after your furniture and your walls, and get you from A to B without the stress.

  • Turns up on time

    We'll agree a time and stick to it. If anything changes on the day, we'll ring you.

  • Careful with your things

    Furniture is protected where needed, loaded carefully and secured for the journey.

  • Local or further afield

    Most jobs are around Norwich and Norfolk, but we've taken furniture as far as southern Germany.

  • One clear price

    You'll know the cost before we start, with no surprise extras on the day.

How much does a man with a van cost in Norwich?

It depends on what's moving, how far it's going and how long it'll take. Send us a list or a few photos with both postcodes and we'll give you a clear, fixed price before we start.

Can you move just one item?

Yes. A single sofa, bed, wardrobe or appliance is a perfectly normal job for us.

Do you help with the lifting?

Yes. We do the carrying, loading and unloading, so you don't need to round up friends to help.

Can you take furniture apart?

Where something won't fit through a door or up the stairs in one piece, we can take it apart to get it out. Let us know when you book so we can plan for it.

Do you go outside Norfolk?

Most of our van work is around Norwich, Norfolk and north Suffolk, but we do longer trips too. We've taken furniture as far as southern Germany, so just ask.

Can you take away things I don't want?

Yes. If you're moving and want to get rid of a few things at the same time, we can take them away and dispose of them responsibly as licensed waste carriers.

Which areas do you cover?

We're based in Norwich and cover the whole of Norfolk and north Suffolk. For larger jobs we'll travel further across East Anglia.
