A man and van, done properly
Sometimes you do not need a parcel service or a removal firm. You need a van and someone to help load it, today, at a fair price.
Our man and van service gives you a Cend van and a DBS-checked driver who will help with loading and unloading reasonable items at both ends. You get a fixed price before we set off and tracking on the way.
What our man and van is good for
- Stock and equipment between shops, offices and storage
- Single large items bought online or from a seller
- Exhibition and event kit to and from a venue
- Office equipment such as IT kit, files and small furniture
- Trade materials and tools to a site
For a full house move with lots of furniture, tell us what is involved and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
Choosing the van
We match the van to the load, so you are not paying for space you do not need. Small vans carry up to around 500 kg, long-wheelbase vans up to 1.2 tonnes, and Luton box vans with tail-lifts take bulky or heavy items.
See our courier vehicles for sizes and payloads, or describe the job and we will choose for you.
How to book
- Tell us what is moving, with rough sizes, weights and the number of items.
- Give us both addresses and anything we should know about access, stairs or parking.
- Get a fixed price and a collection time.
- We load, drive and unload, and you get proof of delivery at the end.

For businesses
Many of our man and van jobs are for businesses moving stock, kit or equipment between sites. If you need it regularly, our contract courier services page explains how scheduled runs work.
Heavy items and pallets are best on our tail-lift vehicles, as our pallet delivery service explains.
Why book Cend
You get a uniformed, DBS-checked driver, a tracked vehicle and goods-in-transit insurance on every job. There is no extra charge for evenings or weekends on standard same day work, and the price is fixed before we start.
Getting ready for the van
Have items ready to go near the door where you can, and let us know about stairs, lifts or tight access at either end. If parking is restricted, tell us where the van can stop safely.
Anything fragile should be wrapped before the driver arrives. We will secure every load properly in the van so it arrives as it left.
