About Durham
Durham is a North-East cathedral city of around 52,000 — UNESCO heritage site with the cathedral and castle on a dramatic peninsula above the Wear. Housing varies from medieval Bailey streets to Victorian villas in Crossgate and modern student blocks around the colleges.
Our Durham drivers know the steep peninsula climbs, the A1(M) J62 traffic, and the regular Durham University student moves.
Hello Vans has Durham-based drivers and modern Luton vans ready.

Durham Man with a Van — FAQs
Can I pay with a card after the Durham move?
Yes. We accept card, bank transfer and Apple/Google Pay. Payment is taken after the move once you’re happy, and you’ll get a VAT receipt by email.
Do you help with loading and unloading in Durham?
Yes. Our Durham drivers carry your items from the door to the van and into your new place. For heavier moves we’ll send a second mover so nothing gets dropped or scratched.
How far in advance should I book my Durham move?
Weekday slots in Durham can often be filled the same day. For Saturdays and end-of-month moves, 3–5 days’ notice is ideal. End-of-tenancy weekends book up fastest.
Do you supply packing materials in Durham?
We can deliver boxes, tape, bubble wrap and blankets ahead of your Durham move, or our packing crew can come the day before and box everything up for you.
Will you move items up flats and stairs in Durham?
Absolutely. Plenty of Durham homes are walk-ups and our crews handle stairs daily. Just mention the floor when booking so we can plan the right time and crew size.
How much does a Man with a Van cost in Durham?
Our Durham man with a van service starts at £40 per hour for a small van and one driver. A medium Luton van with two crew is around £60–£80 per hour. You only pay for the time used — no hidden surcharges, no deposit.
Can I book a same-day move in Durham?
Yes — we cover same-day and next-day bookings across Durham subject to driver availability. Try to book a few hours ahead for weekend slots, but mid-week mornings are usually wide open.
