A man and van suits smaller jobs: a few big items, a room, a studio flat or a storage run. You pay by the hour, so a quick job stays cheap.
Why the tail lift matters
Our Luton van has a tail lift, a powered platform that raises heavy items from the pavement to the van floor. Fridges and washing machines ride up on the platform instead of being dragged up a ramp by one tired person.
Common questions
How much is a man and van in Brighton?
Brighton Moving Company charges £75 an hour for a driver with a Luton van, or £90 an hour for two movers with the van and tail lift.
What can a man and van move?
Single items like a sofa, bed or washing machine, a student room, a studio flat, or a run to storage. The tail lift raises heavy items to the van floor on a platform.
Should I book one man or two?
Book one man if the load is light and you can help carry. Book two if there are stairs or anything one person cannot safely carry, such as a sofa, wardrobe or fridge.
Do I need a parking suspension to move house in Brighton?
If either address has controlled parking bays, a suspension keeps a space clear for the van. Brighton & Hove City Council says it needs 7 full working days' notice for a standard suspension, applications must arrive by 2pm, it cannot suspend yellow lines or unrestricted streets, and it does not suspend bays on bank holidays. The council also states an urgent suspension outside that notice period may be possible for an extra £20.
