Man and Van Hire in Canterbury

Hiring a man and van in Canterbury gets you a driver, a vehicle and a second pair of hands for whatever needs shifting, priced either by the load or by the hour. There is no big removals contract and no paperwork, just the van and the muscle to move what you have.

It suits the jobs that do not warrant a full removal: a part-load across the city, a couple of hours moving furniture between homes in Wincheap, a run out to Chartham. You tell us what is on the list and we turn up with the right van to shift it.

Priced by the load or the hour

For a straight pickup-to-drop-off job we quote a fixed price for the load, so the total is set before we start. For open-ended work, like clearing a garage or ferrying things between two nearby addresses, we can charge by the hour instead.

Whichever fits your job better, we agree it up front so the bill never catches you out. Most single-van jobs are done in one run, and if yours genuinely needs two we will say so rather than cram the load and risk damage on the road.

The second pair of hands

The driver does not just steer. They help carry, load and stack, so the heavy work is not left to you. For bigger pieces we send two people, which is the sensible call for wardrobes, sofa beds and anything that really needs two to move without hurting yourself or the item.

Tell us the heaviest thing on the list and we will arrive with enough hands to handle it.

The jobs it tends to cover

Man and van hire fills the gap between a courier and a full removal: a secondhand sofa across town, a fridge from a relative in Herne Bay, a few boxes to a storage unit, or the awkward half of a move a friend's car could not manage.

If it fits in a van and needs lifting, it is the kind of thing we do all week around Canterbury. No job is too small, and a single piece is as welcome as a van loaded to the doors.

Getting booked in

Give us the pickup, the drop-off, a rough idea of what is moving and the access at each end. That is enough for us to price it and get you a slot, often for the same or the next day.

Send the details over and we will sort a van and a driver for you.

Frequently asked questions

Do you charge by the hour or the job?+

Either. Clear pickup-to-drop-off moves are usually a fixed price for the load, while open-ended jobs can go by the hour. We agree which before we begin.

Will the driver help me carry?+

Yes, the driver helps load and carry. For heavy items we send a second person, so tell us the heaviest thing when you book.

Is a single small item worth booking?+

Yes. Small jobs and part-loads make up a big share of our work, and they are priced to match.

Do you run out to Whitstable and Herne Bay?+

Often. The coast is close enough that those stay a straightforward single job, and the same goes for Sturry, Chartham and the villages between.

Can I ride along in the van?+

Usually, if it is just you and you say so when booking. Any more than that and following behind is simpler.

Can you shift something between two addresses in one street?+

Yes, and it is one of the cheapest things we do. Short moves still get a fixed figure so you know where you stand before we start.
