House Removals
Full-service moves from 1-bed flats to large family homes. Right-sized vans, careful loading. Cornwall-local and long-distance up-country.
From £400Need just a single sofa shifting, a student room moved, or a flat-clearance run? Man-and-van work is the most cost-effective option for small moves. From £60/hr with a 2-hour minimum.
Man-and-van is the right call when you have less than half a vanload of stuff and don't need a full removal crew. The model is simple: one or two men + a Luton or long-wheel-base van, charged by the hour with a 2-hour minimum. You usually help load (or you don't, but the hours add up faster).

Not the right call when:
Most Cornwall man-and-van operators are owner-operators — they own the van, do the driving, and lift the boxes. That means cheaper than a full removals firm and often more flexible on scheduling. Insurance and reliability vary; ask to see valid Goods in Transit and Public Liability cover before you book.
Getting a man and van specialist in Cornwall shouldn't be a guessing game. Here's how the match works.
Fill in the quote form: your Cornwall postcode, destination, volume (rooms / bedrooms / cubic ft), target date, and anything tricky (pianos, lofts, narrow lanes).
We match you with a Cornwall man and van specialist covering your area. We tell you who first, and only pass your details on if you say yes.
They then quote you directly. If you go ahead, the move happens on the agreed date and you pay them direct.

Everything you need to know about man and van in Cornwall.
£45-£75 per hour in 2026, depending on one-man vs two-man crew and van size. Most operators have a 2-hour minimum. Mileage outside the local area is usually charged extra (£0.50-£1.00 per mile). A typical student room move within a Cornwall town is 2-3 hours and runs £120-£250.
Man and van is hourly, smaller, and you usually help load. A full house removal is fixed-price (after a survey), uses a larger crew and van, and includes full furniture protection plus professional packing if requested. Use man and van for less than half a vanload; full removal for everything more.
Often yes, especially mid-week. Cornwall has lots of solo operators with flexible diaries. Same-day Friday or Saturday is harder — those are completion-day peaks. Submit your date and time window and we'll match you with whoever has the gap.
Usually they'll load pre-packed boxes and unstrapped furniture — they won't typically wrap your china or dismantle your kitchen for you. If you need packing, ask for it upfront and expect to pay extra hourly or a flat per-room fee. Materials (boxes, paper, tape) are sometimes provided, sometimes BYO.
Roughly a studio or small 1-bed flat. Beyond that you're into multiple trips (which costs more in hours and fuel) or you should be quoting a proper removal. A Luton holds about 600-800 cubic feet — enough for a small flat or a partial larger flat.
Reputable operators carry Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance. Cheaper unregulated operators on Facebook Marketplace often don't — and you carry the risk if something gets damaged or causes property harm. Ask to see the certificates before you book.
