Make your move simple, safe, and stress-free with the right team

Whether you’re moving house, collecting a new sofa, or relocating your office, choosing the right Man with a Van service can make or break your experience. Brighton has plenty of options, but not all removal services are created equal.

At Man With a Van Brighton, we know what good service looks like—because we deliver it every day. Here’s a quick guide on how to choose the best van and moving service for your needs.

1. Look for Local Experience

Hiring someone local means they know the area—Brighton’s one-way systems, tight streets, tricky parking, and those classic Victorian staircases.

A Brighton-based service like ours understands how to handle moves in flats, terraces, and multi-storey buildings, making everything smoother and quicker.

2. Check Reviews and Testimonials

What do past customers say? A quick Google search or look at Facebook reviews can tell you a lot. You’re looking for signs of:

• Reliability
• Good communication
• Care with belongings
• Friendly service

⭐️ Tip: Look for reviews that mention specific things like punctuality, handling fragile items, or navigating difficult buildings.

3. Make Sure They’re Insured

Accidents happen—even with the best movers. That’s why it’s essential your van service includes goods in transit insurance and public liability cover.

At Man With a Van Brighton, we’re fully insured, so you can rest easy knowing your stuff is protected from start to finish.

4. Ask What’s Included in the Price

Some companies give you a cheap quote—but then charge extra for things like stairs, fuel, waiting time, or help with loading and unloading. Always ask what’s included.

With us?

• No hidden fees
• Transparent quotes
• Help with loading and unloading included
• Flexible pricing for single items, small moves, or full relocations

5. Consider the Type of Move You Need

Not every van service suits every job. Some are ideal for small, quick jobs. Others are better for larger moves. Make sure the service matches your needs.

At Man With a Van Brighton, we offer:

• House removals
• Office relocations
• Single item delivery
• Student moves
• Store collections (IKEA, Facebook Marketplace, etc.)
• Packing and furniture disassembly (on request)

We’re flexible—and we scale the service to your job, not the other way around.

6. Look for Good Communication

From the first message to the final box, good communication matters. A great van service will reply quickly, confirm times, explain their process, and keep you informed.

We pride ourselves on clear, friendly communication so you always know what’s happening with your move.

7. Ask About Equipment and Vehicles

A clean, well-equipped van shows a company takes its job seriously. Ask whether they use protective blankets, trolleys, straps, and ramps to protect your items in transit.

All our vans come fully equipped to move your items safely, and our team is trained to handle everything with care.

8. Check Availability

Need a last-minute move? Or prefer an evening or weekend time slot? Make sure the service can work with your schedule.

We offer same-day, next-day, and weekend bookings, because we know not everyone moves 9–5.

9. Trust Your Gut

Sometimes, it just comes down to how they make you feel. Are they helpful when you ask questions? Do they seem rushed or rude? A little professionalism goes a long way.

You’re trusting someone with your home, your belongings, and your time—it’s okay to expect great service.

10. Choose a Service That Cares

It’s not just about moving boxes—it’s about peace of mind. Choose a team that treats your items with respect and your move like it matters.

That’s exactly what we do at Man With a Van Brighton. No job is too small, and no customer is just a number. Whether you’re moving your first flat or your forever home, we’re here to help.
