Is a man with a van in Bournemouth cheaper than van hire?

For most small moves it works out similar or cheaper once you count fuel, insurance and your own time — and the driver does the lifting with you.

What size van do you use?

Most bookings use a Luton van, which fits roughly a studio or one-bed flat. Smaller jobs may get a medium van.

Do you move people from London to Bournemouth?

Yes — London to Bournemouth is around 105 miles, usually completed in a single day for flats and smaller homes.

Moving in Bournemouth — local notes

Victorian villas converted into flats, purpose-built apartment blocks, student houses and family bungalows towards Poole.

Many Bournemouth flats are in older blocks with no lift, and summer traffic near the seafront is heavy. We plan loading times to avoid the worst of it.
