Van Man Removals gave a great service for a very competetive price. We couldn't be more pleased. We had a very prompt call from Mike and a visit for costing the job. The price wasn't the cheapest quote but included a package of boxes, a large roll of bubble wrap and masses of wrapping paper plus rolls of parcel tape. This package made the quote our best pick for value and convenience. There was also a clear contract so we knew what to expect making the company much more professional than the competitors. On the day three men arrived to load the two luton vans while two drove up and unloaded. They were all very friendly, hard workers and looked after the goods carefully, plus a good sense of humour. We can't recommend the company enough on the basis of our experience. Well done the Van Man team.

I recently moved from Lincoln to Taunton and cannot recommend Van Man Removals enough. They were accommodating and friendly. On the day of moving in, the lift in the block of flats had broken, but they still delivered an efficient service. Great local company.

Really polite and friendly team, carefully disassembled and reassembled items for safe travel. Cleaned up after themselves and were quick and efficient at a very competitive price. Second time I’ve used the firm and I wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

From start to finish, they were faultless: a quick response to our initial enquiry; we asked for boxes and they also supplied bubble wrap and paper; they kept us informed when lockdown happened; they arrived on time, actually a few minutes early; they laid out their protective mats; they worked really hard and carefully; they travelled to the destination quickly; unloaded as requested; and were cheerful right to the end. We could not have asked for more. Well done, it was a pleasure doing business with you. Can I give you six stars for everything?

Clear instructions and contract. Smart, clean, well-maintained vehicles. The whole team so cheerful, just made moving house a very positive experience. Particularly impressed with their help packing our container at the other end of our move, really made our day. This is the second time I have used VanMan as used them in a move from London to Devon 7 years ago and they were brilliant on that move too. Would thoroughly recommend Mike and his team.

My guess is, readers here will have an empathy with our situation: We had too much stuff and were worried. Thankfully, the removal team were excellent from beginning to end. Team boss Mike B was always reassuring and where possible said he would try to accommodate our various requests. Sorry, I can't recall the names of all the men who carried out the two separate moves; but, all without exception were friendly, including Leon, Colin, Mike and more, each clearly focused on doing the job without fuss. Thank you!

We had a big farmhouse full of things which were important to us and the removals men worked quickly and with care emptying our home. Because of the distance we were moving they kept the things overnight in their secure compound and delivered them at the time they said they would to our new property. They trotted about to place things in each room as we required and did their work cheerfully. I would recommend them to anyone needing a removals company.

I needed a piano and an awkward shaped sofa moved and was extremely pleased with the service I received from Van Man. Not only was organising a date and time handled very efficiently by Mike but Leon, Dean and Ryan showed up on time and were very professional in their work. They were dressed well in uniform and spoke very politely. They were pleasant throughout the move and very reassuring. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

I’m a disabled person who lives on my own. So when I needed to move from Exeter to Exmouth I wanted to use a removal company - this is the first time I have used one. From the first this company was brilliant and very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Everyone was friendly and happy. They made moving day as stress free as possible. If you are looking for a company to use I can’t recommend them enough

Van Man Removals moved the contents of our 4-bedroom house to our new home efficiently and without any fuss or drama. We were impressed with all the communication, and the mammoth efforts of the team both packing and loading/unloading (not one thing broken or damaged!). The team were cheerful and respectful which was so welcome at such a stressful time. We’d recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

We used Van Man removals to move our household goods into storage and six months later into our new home. A really excellent company, highly recommended. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Mike was always quick to answer any queries, was very reassuring and explained everything clearly. On moving day everything was packed up very carefully and efficiently, a very professional team. When we moved into our new home they could not have been more helpful and professional.

Turned up punctually. They were all very friendly, efficient and hard working throughout. Followed instructions to the letter but also came up with creative ideas of their own. Helpfully took some furniture items we could no longer use down to a charity warehouse, as they were part of the original quote. Protected our new flooring and left everything in a clean and tidy condition. Would absolutely recommend the company - I’d use them again.
