What’s the Difference Between a ‘Man and Van’ and a Full Removal Service?

Not sure if you need a man and van service or a full removals team? You’re not alone. Lots of our customers ask this — and the answer depends on your move.


Here’s how they compare:


Man and Van

Usually means one person and a van. It’s a flexible option, often charged by the hour, and works best for:

  • Very small moves

  • Single items

  • Student accommodation or short-term lets


At Mr Reliable, we only offer this service when we’re not booked on larger moves — but we’re happy to quote if we can fit you in.


Full Removal Service

A professional team will handle your whole move — including lifting, loading, transporting and unloading. Ideal for:

  • Flats and houses

  • Office relocations

  • Families or anyone who wants help with packing and logistics


We’ll bring the right number of people, the right size van, and all the care your belongings need.


Still unsure?
