Man and van hire across Essex
Essex has big towns, commuter belts and long coastline, so moves are varied: Chelmsford flats, Colchester student houses, Southend seafront moves and family homes in Brentwood and Grays. We handle single items, flats and small house moves, and trips into London. Choose a van and time, add your addresses and see the price.
The A12 runs from Brentwood to Colchester, the Southend arterial roads reach the coast, and the M25 passes Grays. Commuter traffic builds at peak times, so we plan around it. Our insured movers bring blankets, straps and tools. We also offer house removals, furniture delivery and clearances. Choose your nearest town below to see local details.

What our man with a van customers say
My mover was awesome! I’m pretty sure he could lift a bus with zero problems. The van was large and spacious, and everything was moved in record time!
Very friendly staff. On time for collection. Kept me informed at each stage of our transaction. Brilliant
Driver turned up promptly and gave great advice about loading and tied everything down inside the van. Was a very efficient service and was much less stressful than trying to do it all with just a van by ourselves. Would highly recommend.

What our Essex crews plan for
What makes the difference on moving day in Essex, from our 100 local jobs.
One in five has stairs
About 19 in 100 of our Essex jobs have stairs at one end. Newer flats in Chelmsford and Colchester often have lifts, but check they can be booked and that large items will fit.
Saturday is the peak
Across Essex, Saturday is our busiest day (24% of jobs) and Tuesday the quietest (8%). September is the peak month, so book ahead or choose a Tuesday for more flexibility.
Seaside towns in summer
Parking along the seafront in Southend and Clacton fills quickly on warm days. Let us know about permit zones or a back access so the crew can load close to your door.
Allow for the Dartford Crossing
Moves between south Essex and Kent use the Dartford Crossing, which is busy and charged. The A12 and A127 also slow down at rush hour, so we plan start times around them.
