VanMan effected the removals of my furniture and effects from Exeter, Devon into storage in Lincoln, Lincolnshire. From the initial competitive quotation to closing the doors on the storage container, this company completed all tasks to the highest standards of competency and excellence and managed to do so with the utmost friendly courtesy throughout. Moving house is said to come third on the list of most stressful life events after bereavement and divorce. If you want to reduce your stress levels when moving, I highly recommend this company to you.

Efficient, careful and cheerful same-day removal to several addresses

Van Man Removals, based in Tiverton, proved to be an excellent removal service for dealing with several different items to three different addresses in Bristol and London. They were efficient - 6 men came to pack up and put items in the van - and then two of them delivered to the addresses. There were no hitches at the other end and the guys who came were very accommodating and careful in what they did. They were also punctual and clean. We were drawn to the firm not least because they paid above the minimum wage to their crew and they cared about their welfare and training. Even so their price was the median of three quotations for the job, so the cost was fair but not excessive.

Excellent service! The team moved an upright piano for me from Devon to Somerset. They were extremely professional, polite and approachable, and I was very pleased with the job that they did. Mike provided all the relevant information via email, and he was always quick to respond to any queries. Their pricing was also very competitive. Definitely a company that I would highly recommend! Thank you guys! :)

We recently moved and used The Van Man's full packing service. They were excellent—we couldn't fault them. The team replied to any initial enquiries swiftly and completed the packing and move in just two days—all others quoted at least three. Their quote was very competitive. Nothing got broken or lost in the move. The men worked like Trojans but were polite and cheerful. Best removal service we've ever experienced.

Having not moved house for 22 years, we were very anxious in the leading weeks, Mike reassured me and was very patient with my queries. On the removal day Leon, Dean, Ryan and Alan completely took the stress out of the day for us. They were so careful removing furniture out of old house and into new and I would be very pleased to recommend Van Man Removals. Mike even gave me a discount for working for the NHS which was a nice gesture.

A really excellent company from start to finish, they made my move totally painless. Mike was really helpful throughout, responding really quickly to all my questions. Darryl did a great job of assessing what was required and the packaging bundle arrived promptly when expected. On moving day, Colin and Leon were absolute stars, arriving on time, quickly assessing what was being moved and what was going into their storage and moving my furniture with care - lovely chaps with great senses of humour. Nothing was too much trouble - definitely well recommended.
