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.
