Is a man with a van in Long Eaton 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.

Is a man and van better than van hire in Long Eaton?

Often, yes. With our man and van, from £50 an hour with a two-hour minimum, you don’t drive or lift yourself, and long-distance moves are quoted at a fixed price.

Moving in Long Eaton — local notes

Victorian and Edwardian terraces, red-brick former lace mills converted to flats, inter-war semis and post-war estates on the edges of town.

Most terraced streets have on-street parking only. The town is close to junction 25 of the M1, which can be congested, and the A6005 through town gets busy.
