Recently used Van Man Removals for a large move in Exeter. We had the team help pack up our house and then come back a few days later to do the actual move. One of the hotter days this summer for the move and the team did a great job of keeping the pace moving forward. We have moved a number of times over the last 6 years and this was the most pleasant and professional experience we have had with a variety of moving companies. Polite, professional, and careful in everything that they did. Highly recommend Van Man Removals.

Absolutely brilliant. Nothing was too much for them and moved everything quickly and efficiently. Everything went into the room I needed and they made sure it was a clean process by putting mats on the floors. Will definitely use again if/when I move again. Thank you to you all!

Took the stress out of moving!

Leading up to our move was very stressful with our buyers putting pressure on us but on the day of our move Leon, Matt and Dean took all of that stress away and were so lovely with us and so quick with getting us out of our home and into our rental that we are having for six months while the sale of our new home goes through. They were very quick and professional and covered our mattresses in plastic etc and cared for our belongings. If I emailed any query at all leading up to the move then Mike answered everything quickly and put my mind at rest. We have even got them storing our settees until we can move them into our new home, as they would not fit into our temporary place. Hoping to use them again when we move into our future home. I have already recommended them to some friends who are moving soon.

Exceptional and Highly Recommended Company

If you are looking for a wholly reliable, professional, efficient, courteous and friendly company to move your stuff then look no further. Mike and the team are quite simply exceptional. All of our removal requests were taken on board and carried out without issue. Carrying out the customer’s wishes and keeping them happy is the overriding ethos here, everything was moved exactly as requested. Mike took on board the fact that the timescales were tight, quickly turned around the quote and was able to accommodate all of our requirements. We were contacted by phone with an ETA at both ends, the team arrived on time, loaded the vans within an hour and a half, paying particular attention to numerous boxes labelled ‘fragile’ and handled them with due care and attention, and then they were away. The following day the vans arrived, again with a phone call in advance and plenty of notice, exercised the same efficiency and care when unloading everything and within a further short period of time the team were away and we were in. All of the team were friendly, polite, with a great sense of humour and worked tirelessly to alleviate all the stress and concern that moving home invariably entails. We would 100% recommend Van Man Removals Exeter to everybody. Absolutely exceptional service from start to finish. Thank you so very much, you guys really are the best at what you do. A+

What a great team of guys! From the initial enquiry to the completion of my sister's house move I cannot fault Mike and his team. From the first telephone call and with very short notice, we experienced a very slick and professional quote/booking system, and regular contact up until the day of move, when 3 vans arrived on site and seamlessly loaded the furniture, making what we expected to be a very emotional day a lot less stressful. The team were polite and efficient and just got on with the job! I have no hesitation in recommending Mike and his team, they were brilliant from start to finish

I was really happy with our experience with Van Man Removals. The team arrived promptly and we’re all very pleasant. They moved all our furniture carefully and quickly and left no mess behind. I was also very happy the communication and customer service on the phone and through emails from first point of contact to completion. Absolutely would recommend and will use again if we required movers in the future.

I needed to move a piano from my deceased parents' house in Taunton to my daughter's house in Bristol. I arranged to move the piano by email. Mike was helpful and always responded promptly which made this an easy process. On move day the team turned up when they said they would. They efficiently moved the piano and delivered it safely later that day. They were well-equipped, knew what they were doing and were friendly and polite.
