What changes the price for man with a van
- Time, including travel. Most are priced by the hour with a minimum, usually two hours, counted from when they set off.
- Van size. A small transit takes a sofa and a few boxes. A Luton with a tail lift is a different rate.
- One person or two. Anything heavy or above a first floor needs two, which roughly doubles the labour line.
- Parking and loading distance. Carrying items 50 metres to the van adds up quickly on an hourly rate.
What is usually included

And what is usually not

The one thing that saves the most money
Measure the largest item and the doorways before booking. A sofa that will not fit through the door is the most common wasted call-out in this category.

Common questions
How much does a man with a van cost in the UK?
$50 to $200 for most jobs, with a median of $125. We do not yet have enough completed man with a van tasks in the UK to publish real price data, so the figures below are our editorial estimate from market rates. They will be replaced with platform data as soon as we have enough jobs.
What makes a man with a van more expensive?
Size and access are the two biggest factors, followed by urgency. Same-day and weekend work carries a premium, and anything above ground-floor level or requiring specialist equipment costs more. Materials, waste disposal and parking are often quoted separately, so check what is included.
How do I get an accurate price?
Post the job with photos, measurements and access details, and you will get fixed-price offers rather than estimates. Posting is free and there is no booking fee, so comparing three or four offers costs you nothing.
Should I pay per hour or a fixed price?
A fixed price for the whole job puts the risk of it overrunning on the tasker rather than on you. That is why every offer on Taskerama is a fixed total.
