Man and van request
Start with the load and route
A short item list is more useful than an uncertain description.
A defined smaller move
Make the load clear before comparing rates.
Man and van pricing can be hourly, job-based or subject to a minimum booking. A reliable comparison therefore needs the item list, crew, vehicle, estimated time, travel and access assumptions behind each response.
Use this dedicated request journey for a smaller, clearly described workload. The form separates the move profile from contact details so you can review the practical information first.
Before submitting
Man and van details that improve the request.
Complete information helps a moving business assess whether the work fits its capacity and availability.
Crew requirement
Explain heavy or awkward pieces and ask how many movers are included. The service name does not guarantee a crew size.
Vehicle and journeys
Give enough information for the business to assess capacity and whether one journey is realistic.
Access and timing
Share floors, lift rules, loading position, carrying distance, preferred date and any collection or delivery window.
What happens next
How the man and van quote journey works.
The request is not a booking. Any contract is made directly with the independent moving business you choose.
Describe the move
Provide the route, workload, access, date and contact details in the same-origin form.
Receive relevant responses
Suitable businesses may assess the request and contact you where they can help.
Check and choose
Compare scope, price, identity, insurance details, terms and availability before deciding.
Compare like for like
Four parts of a complete response.
Minimum booking: The minimum hours or charge and the point at which paid time begins.

Travel costs: Mileage, fuel, parking, route charges and return travel included in the total.
Terms and protection: Insurance details, exclusions, waiting, cancellations and payment arrangements.
Plan before sending
Read the Thames Valley man-and-van guide.
Use the regional service guide for indicative hourly planning rates, workload fit and what to compare beyond the headline rate.
Quote request questions
Know what the form does.
It creates a comparison request; it does not appoint or book a mover.
Can I request a quote for one item?
Yes. Give the item dimensions and weight where known, both access conditions and whether safe handling is likely to require more than one mover.
Does man and van include two people?
Not automatically. Ask the responding business to confirm the crew, vehicle and equipment included in its proposal.
Can I use the page for a flat move?
Yes, when the load is suitable. Share the inventory, floor, stairs, lift and parking position so the workload can be assessed.
Is the lowest hourly rate the best option?
Not necessarily. Compare minimum time, crew, vehicle, travel, expected duration, access costs and written terms.
What if the move is too large for man and van?
Review the house-removals guide or describe the full inventory accurately. A responding business can explain the capacity and service it can provide.
