Understanding Your Moving Options

When it’s time to move house, one of the first questions most people ask is, “Should I hire a man and van or go with full-service movers?” It’s a fair question — and the answer depends on your budget, the size of your move, and how much work you want to take on yourself.

A lot of homeowners start by searching for a cheap removal van, thinking it’s the most cost-effective choice. And yes, in many cases, it is. But there’s more to it than just price — you’ve gotta think about effort, time, and the potential stress involved.

So let’s break it down and see which moving service really suits your needs best.

What’s a Man and Van Service?

A man and van service is one of the simplest, most affordable ways to move. It usually includes one or two people and a small to medium-sized van. These kinds of services are super popular for:

Small home or flat moves
Students changing accommodation
Collecting or delivering furniture
Local moves with minimal items

If you’re just shifting a few boxes, a bed, and maybe a wardrobe — a cheap removal van is probably all you need. It’s fast to book, flexible, and won’t break the bank.

But remember, it’s a basic service. You’re expected to:

Pack all your items yourself
Help load and unload (in many cases)
Provide your own packing materials
Disassemble your furniture (if needed)

So while the price is low, the workload might be high — especially if you’re not used to heavy lifting or you’ve got stairs involved.

What’s Included in a Full-Service Move?

A full-service mover gives you the full package. Instead of just a van and driver, you get a team of professional movers who handle:

Packing and unpacking
Providing boxes and packing materials
Furniture disassembly and reassembly
Loading, transport, and unloading
Sometimes, even cleaning or storage

This is the best option if you’re moving a larger home, don’t want to deal with the stress, or have delicate, heavy, or valuable items.

Yes, it costs more — but you get a lot more in return, including:

Peace of mind
Insurance cover for your belongings
Speed and efficiency
No lifting or physical strain

If you’re pressed for time or just want to avoid the hassle, a full-service mover is probably worth the investment.

Good to Know….

Book Early

Ideally, book your removal company 4-6 weeks before your move date to allow time for a pre-move survey and compare quotes.

Packing and Unpacking:

Packing and unpacking services add to the overall cost, with comprehensive packing typically adding £400-£500 for a 3-bedroom house and unpacking costing around £200.

Book Storage Here

Easily book storage with no minimum term or unnecessary contract, so we can assess the volume of what you would like to be moved and gather information needed in order to provide an accurate price. Alternatively, call us on 0800 0472607 to book a home visit.

Comparing the Two: What’s Right for You?

Now that we’ve looked at both the man and van service and full-service movers, it’s time to compare them side by side. Choosing the right one depends on more than just cost — it’s about time, effort, and how much responsibility you’re willing to take on.

Budget vs Value

There’s no doubt that a cheap removal van will save you money upfront. Man and van services are ideal when your move is small and straightforward. They’re perfect for students, renters, or people without much furniture.

But while full-service movers cost more, they offer greater value if your move is bigger or more complicated. You’re paying for convenience, protection, and professional handling. Think about it this way — what’s your time, energy, and peace of mind worth?

If you’re moving a whole house, have expensive furniture, or don’t have the time to do it yourself, going full-service can actually save you money in the long run. No broken stuff, no injuries, and no last-minute surprises.

Effort and Physical Work

Let’s be honest — moving isn’t easy. With a cheap removal van, you’re doing most of the heavy lifting. That means lifting boxes, carrying sofas, figuring out how to pack the van so nothing breaks… it’s hard work.

With a full-service mover, you don’t lift a thing. Everything’s handled by pros who do this every day. They know how to wrap, carry, stack, and protect your stuff — and they do it faster and safer than most of us can.

So if you’ve got back issues, don’t want to rely on friends, or just don’t have the time or strength — full-service is the way to go.

Move Size and Distance

Local move with a few boxes? A cheap removal van is perfect.
Moving across the country with a 3-bed house? You’ll need a full-service mover.

Distance matters. The longer the trip, the more planning, fuel, and vehicle size matters. Full-service movers usually have larger vehicles and teams that can handle everything in one go — that means fewer trips and less risk of things going wrong.

A man and van might need to do multiple runs, which can end up taking longer (and costing more) than you expect.

Packing and Insurance

Another big one — packing.

Most cheap removal van providers expect you to pack everything yourself. If something breaks during the move because it wasn’t packed right, it’s usually on you. Many of these services also don’t include insurance, or it’s very limited.

Full-service movers usually offer packing services and insurance protection. So if your TV, mirror, or antique dresser gets damaged, you’re covered. This is a huge relief, especially for people moving with expensive or delicate belongings.

Time and Stress Levels

With a man and van, you’re in charge. That means booking the service, planning the route, loading the van, coordinating times, and dealing with issues if something goes wrong.

With a full-service move, the company manages all that. You just show up at your new place and everything is ready to go.

If you’re short on time, busy with work or kids, or just want things to go smoothly — the full-service route is a no-brainer.In the end, container storage with appointment-only access offers peace of mind, enhanced protection, and a more tailored service experience, making it an excellent choice for secure, dependable storage.

Quick Comparison Table

Feature	Cheap Removal Van	Full-Service Movers
Cost	✅ Budget-friendly	❌ Higher price
Effort	❌ You do the work	✅ They do it all
Packing	❌ DIY	✅ Professional packing available
Insurance	❌ Not always included	✅ Often included
Speed	❌ May need multiple trips	✅ Done in one go
Stress Level	❌ High	✅ Low

So, Which One Is Right for You?

There’s no single answer. But here’s a simple guide:

Want to save money and don’t mind doing the work? → Go for a cheap removal van.
Want everything handled, protected, and stress-free? → Choose full-service movers.

At Moving Circle Removals & Storage, we offer both options — so you don’t have to compromise. Whether you need a small cheap removal van or a full moving crew, we’ve got a service that suits your move and your budget.

FAQ’s!

Do I need a Survey?

A reputable removals company will offer a free pre-move survey. This will consist of sending a member of staff to your home to analyse your moving needs. Sometimes, this survey can also be done via video call if you prefer, for ease and convenience.

The pre-move survey should allow your removals company to establish how big the move will be, so they can plan and prepare what they’ll need to provide in terms of staffing and equipment. It’s also a chance for you to discuss if you need any additional services, such as storage or packing.

After the survey, you should ask for a full written quote for what has been discussed.

Do they Supply Packaging Materials?

Most removal companies should be able to provide you with packing material. Of course, you’re welcome to get your packing materials elsewhere, but getting them from your professional removal company should help to keep your belongings safe and protected while they’re being moved.

Many removal companies will be able to provide boxes, as well as packing paper or bubble wrap, and padded bags for fragile items, if required. Speak to your removal company about exactly what they can provide, how much it will cost and when they will be able to deliver the material to you so you can start packing.

Are there any items they can’t move?

If you have dangerous goods that need moving, you should check whether your insurance company is able to move them. Often, due to health and safety requirements, removal companies might not be able to move certain goods, and you will have to move them yourself. This could include flammables, corrosives and firearms.

If you have any items that you think might cause a problem, be sure to bring it up with your removal company so they can confirm. Or, check the terms and conditions that your removal company will provide you with, here items not to be included for carriage should be listed.
