Van Man Removals and Storage Ltd

From the first contact, I had a professional service complete with a well-mannered, helpful and incredibly hardworking team of movers. It was a large and long move which was done with proficiency and good humour. The schedule was kept to, the budget was perfect, along with excellent communication, and I cannot praise this company highly 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.

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.

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.

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! :)

I was going to hire a van and do my move myself. I was moving a short distance within Topsham. On receipt of the leaflet about Van Man Exeter it was so refreshingly written, I called and got a quote the same morning. Packing boxes arrived the same day. On moving day Leon and his team of 3 arrived on time at 0930. By 1115 the job was done. They were professional, on time managed the tricky traffic challenges of Topsham really well. Final invoice was exactly as expected. What a brilliant team all round from owners to the team. I would like the recipe for the magic ingredient please. Chris H

From start to finish, these guys were fantastic. Strongly recommend them - competent, friendly, affordable and importantly no hidden fees or other common hassles. Quote - was transparent and easily arranged just by forwarding a video clip. Mike was very responsive and all the usual questions were answered in advance. They held the date for me despite not being able to place a deposit until (a late) Exchange. An when I had questions, there was also an office team I could always get through to with questions. Moving home - the guys were fantastic. Professional, on time and took care of property and contents. It was a long day (moving from London to Exeter) but they were quick and even pulled in other local teams. Invoice - no nasty surprises or extra add-on fees. The price was exactly as quoted.

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

We needed a large storage unit emptied in Exeter and delivered to London. The initial quote and booking were easy with quick communication from Mike who made the whole experience simple. The price was excellent, all our stuff arrived safely and the delivery team were a lovely couple of chaps!

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.

We used van man removals to move our belongings from Devon to Pembrokeshire and I couldn't recommend them enough! They were super friendly, very fast loading and unloading, and they helped create a calm atmosphere in a stressful situation. When we arrived at our new home our TV and sofa were already set up for us which was a lovely thing to walk in to! Matt and Luke who took our belongings to Pembrokeshire were lovely, friendly and kind, along with the other 2 guys that helped load everything initially.

The team were on time, courteous and efficient. Very happy with the service, will use them again and recommend them to friends.

My daughter was moving to a new house and we needed to transport some furniture we had in storage in Exeter to Cambridge. From the moment I got in touch with Mike his response was excellent. Although we needed the move done within a few days he managed to fit us in. On the day of the pick up, the guys arrived on time and were extremely professional. Likewise, the next day Matt & Dean did a great job taking the stuff to Cambridge, again arriving spot on time and making short work of unloading everything. I would certainly use them again and recommend them to other people.

Moving house can be stressful at the best of times, but when you're emptying your deceased parents place it's a whole new level. I can't thank Van Man removals enough for their service. From booking to loading, everything was so much easier than I was expecting. Mike and his team were constant professionals yet friendly in their approach. They were careful but efficient and respected the situation. I can't rate them highly enough.

Matt & Dean arrived on time. They looked really smart in their work clothes and both were very friendly and happy. I had just had new wood flooring and decorating so was probably overly worried about things being moved. I need not have been...they were very careful. They put up with my fussing with good humor, nothing was too much trouble for them. A huge thanks to Matt & Dean and thanks also to Mike for being so efficient in arranging everything.

Mike answered my request quickly and politely. He fitted in with all my wishes. Removal team arrived promptly with a large van. They were very professional, kind and caring. Removal to final destination was smooth and fast. 5* service We definitely recommend Vanmanremovals to all and we shall use them again.

After a very protracted sale and purchase Mike stepped in when our original movers could no longer honour the date. He arranged and booked the move really quickly so that there was no delay in our exchange. When the day came Mike and his team were friendly, careful, quick and efficient (they packed for us as well). They didn't leave until they were sure we were happy and didn't want anything relocating. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Genuinely impressive from start to finish. Quote and booking was fast and effective, pricing very competitive. Dealt well with a tricky pickup location - steep access - team just fronted up and got on with it. Colin, Dean and Matt were excellent throughout - totally competent and professional, good humoured and a pleasure to have around. Patient and courteous too. Offloading just as good - well-organised and efficient. Their whole approach and professionalism made a busy few days a lot less stressful - thanks all, great service J and D

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.

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.

Van man removls were superb! We had just moved in to a place and were needing to get things from all over the south of England shipped to London. Mike was really flexible, updating the quote when we added items in to be collected. The guys were excellent, took real care with the items, including a snooker table that weighed a ton and moved everything around until they were just where we wanted them. Couldn't be happier with the service and the value for money!

Excellent work, highly recommended! I can’t recommend Van Man enough, what a great team. They provided a great service from start to finish, were calm and professional, swift with answers and understanding of how stressful a move can be. Thanks guys!

Highly recommend Mike and the team at Van Man Removals and Storage. We had some heavy sofas moved locally at short notice today and were extremely satisfied with the professional, friendly and efficient service provided. Will definitely use again in future for our removal requirements.

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+

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.

Just wanted to say a very belated thank you! I was anxious about my move and having used Mike and the team before, knowing it was them coming to move my things was one less thing to worry about. To say they lightened the metaphorical load would be an understatement. They were quick, efficient and friendly as ever. There was even the same joke about the number of boxes of shoes - I can’t promise this will have reduced when I move again in two years, but I do know I will be contacting Mike again!

Our Van Man Exeter experience was great. The team turned up promptly, checked the situation then got on with the job with zero complaints and a friendly attitude. They worked in unison to avoid bumping walls and doorways, they really knew what they were doing. At the other end they made sure the right furniture was in the right room and moved things about at my request. I've had some not so great experiences with removal companies but these guys are great. I would 100% recommend them.

We used Mike and his team to move my sister in law from Budleigh Salterton in Devon to Orpington Kent. From start to finish the whole of Mikes team were excellent. They under-promised and definitely over-delivered. We couldn't have asked for a better service. We would most certainly recommend Mike and his team to anyone considering moving.

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 had the pleasure of using Van Man removals yesterday for my fairly local move. Right from the start , Mike responding promptly and professionally and quickly answered any queries. They offer a very competitive price and are very comparable to the bigger companies in terms of service. On my moving day , the crew had moved everything by 09:15 only having arrived at 08:30!! Everything has handled with care , professionalism and respect. Although speedy it was not rushed. They made a theoretically stressful day not stressful at all! I would have absolutely no doubt in recommending Van man removals to my friends or family as they were absolutely fantastic.

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!

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.

We found the whole process from first point of contact to be very friendly ,efficient and professional. We were very impressed by the whole team and the guys that did the actual move were great. Would definitely recommend and use again ourselves. Thanks so much.

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!

I have moved many times in the past, and I have to admit that the move from Exeter to the countryside was the least painful of them all. Why? Well, the Van Man crew were absolutely brilliant. Van Man offered a competitive quote, easy to read and sign contracts (all online) and a crew of 4 great chaps showed up at 9AM. Within 3 hours they had packed 3 lorries, left no scratches on walls, protected the staircase in the old house and off we went to the new place. The team had dismantled beds and upon arrival at the cottage, it became apparent that getting all the furniture through the door may be tricky. And it was, but the team pulled it off. I was particularly grateful for them getting a US King Sized mattress through the doors, up the stairs and installed. The crew was upbeat, polite and hyper efficient. Most of the crew had experience with both national and international moves and the standard of work was on par with any of the very large firms. Not a single glass was broken, no walls were damaged... I just wanted to thank Mike and his crew again for the amazing experience. I recommend Van Man to anyone seeking a removal company. Five star PLUS this firm. Well done and keep up the good work. Tom

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?

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.

Van Man Removals and Storage packed and took away items of furniture, paintings (some of which were large canvases), a number of ornaments and other small items, many fragile. All items were professionally packed, on time, by friendly and efficient personnel. Everything was then stored at Van Man's storage facility. After a year in storage, everything was delivered at the time and date promised, to a different address. No damage, deterioration, or missing items. Van Man Removals showed professionalism and flexibility throughout The personnel involved were cooperative and friendly at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending Van Man's services.

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.

Punctual and efficient, courteous and careful. I was present while the team moved a member of my family and was so glad for their calm and efficient ways. Thankyou for an excellent service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you in the future.

I recently used Vanmanexeter to move some pieces of furniture from a flat to a self-storage facility. The firm was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Very competitive quote. Excellent, clear and regular communication from Mike, and a punctual, friendly, careful and very efficient removal team (thank you Leon and Matt!). I would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to use again in the future.

Very nice guys indeed. Moved seamlessly from Longdown to Topsham. Provided boxes, bubble wrap and paper within the very reasonable quote.

I needed a piano moving at short notice from its location in Devon to my place near Oxford. This necessitated meeting them at the location, loading the instrument and then driving to Oxford to receive it. Sounds simple but! I was delayed by a major traffic hold-up on the way there. Mike contacted me proactively to suggest a delay to the meeting time which we agreed. His team were there on the dot, picked up the piano with professional expertise (not to say strength!), loaded the van and were on their way in twenty minutes. We met as arranged at the destination and the unloading and emplacement was done in similar time. Excellent response to my original enquiry offering date options and flexibility, clear communication, first class execution and the price was 20% less than the nearest quote.

We used Man Van to move house recently. Communication with the main man was extremely amazing, so helpful!! When the the day came to move, all the guys were so friendly and cheerful! They were so quick at loading the 2 vans! All done in record time. Will definitely be using them again in the future! I wholeheartedly recommend these guys for moving house! The other end they were even quicker! Fantastic job! Thank you!

This was the first time I'd ever used a removals firm as I'd always hired a van and done it myself in the past. But this time round it was my mother-in-law who I was helping to move so I thought I'd better get the professionals in! I've got to say, I'm really glad I did. Mike and his team made everything so straightforward. From initial contact via their web form, the communications were excellent, responsive, friendly and helpful every time. It's the cost of the service that really surprised me though - really great value. I'll definitely be using them for my next move; it's a no-brainer when compared to the cost of hiring a van and doing it yourself. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Van Man Removals and Storage Ltd.

I couldn't have been more pleased with the service provided by this team for our move. The admin before hand was excellent with boxes, bubble wrap and paper in plentiful supply. The guys moved us on the hottest day in June and worked tireless despite the heat. Thank you for helping to make what could be a stressful day actually quite enjoyable!

We were due to be moved just as lockdown started so Mike at Van Man e-mailed to explain the situation. As soon as he was able to give us a date he did, they came on time both workers were excellent , new there job very well, excellent comunication the whole way through. Would highly recomend

I first contacted Mike when we 'thought' we were moving. We unfortunately through no fault of our own had a protracted time before we exchanged contracts and had a defined moving date. At all times Mike was incredibly patient and accommodating and did his best to pin down a constantly moving date. Once the move was on we had a prompt delivery of boxes and we got packing. A 2 day removal went like clockwork. The lads were polite, incredibly helpful and really enjoyable to have around during what was a major event for us. The amount they moved was stunning, so quick and all with a smile on their faces. I cannot recommend these people enough, they were just so good.

Very pleased with the service on this job. Communication arranging the job was efficient and prompt. On the day the team were competent, polite turned up on time, well equipped and reasonably priced for moving our piano. I had asked several firms and had figures quoted which seemed ridiculously low and many seemed to be hopelessly prepared for size of job.

Turned up on time, knew what they were doing and moved a heavy upright piano with no fuss. These people were experts and had the right equipment. Very reasonable price and based on my experience would recommend them highly.

Selected Van Man Removals for a major move from Devon to Suffolk due to their price being competitive. Right from the start when making an appointment to give a quotation, the emptying of our previous home to the delivery and unloading of our household effects into our new home, the whole operation went smoothly. In particular all the operatives were extremely polite and friendly and worked with care and respect for our belongings. Their professional and efficient working made what is a fairly stressful time in moving house that much easier.

Van Man Exeter are simply an outstanding company. From our initial enquiry to our Moving Day, Mike and his team - Colin, Matt, Leon and Luke made the whole experience as stress-free as possible. All communication with Mike was prompt, detailed and helpful, and schedules were kept to the minute. The Removals team were absolute gentlemen - nothing was too much trouble and they all had a lovely sense of humour that kept us going. They were professional, efficient and respectful of all our belongings; we couldn't have wished for a nicer team. Our heartfelt thanks goes out to them and our apologies for not getting this review completed sooner!

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.

Excellent service which made a simple move involving 2 heavy musical instruments so simple. I would recommend this firm unreservedly.

I was very impressed with Van Man removals from my first contact with them and their helpful quotation visit through to the actual removal job :) A massive thanks to Luke and Matt for the fantastic job they did moving my stuff from Exeter to Whitley Bay in Tyneside. They cleared the Exeter house quickly & carefully with good humour considering the awful weather that morning. They were also quick to get hold of wardrobe boxes when they realized these weren't on the vans. They also dropped a bed off in Taunton on the way which was included in the original quotation. This was a big help & one less thing for me to sort out. The next morning they arrived on time & again despite the weather were in good spirits & did a great job unloading everything. I would have no hesitation in recommending Van Man Removals.

Once again this fantastic team of gentlemen made our move smooth and stress free. All the lads were efficient, polite, extremely helpful and we all had a good laugh, very much needed on a day which can be hard work. Thank you all. 3 times you’ve moved us and we highly recommend you.

What a great firm! - we used them to move my 94 year old dad from Tiverton to Swindon a couple of weeks earlier, then had our own move completed. From start to finish they were superb - really helpful in sorting (and holding) a date, then friendly, helpful and hard-working on the day of the move. Would absolutely recommend this firm to anyone looking for a professional move at a very competitive price.

Just to say Mike and team leader Darryl made our house move as painless as possible. The whole process from quote to actual completion went so smoothly, the men could not have been more hardworking and were considerate and helpful throughout. We only got one quote and felt so comfortable with the price and process we didn't go anywhere else. Just great!

Daryl and Luke from man with van removals came all the way up to Edinburgh from Exeter for the job. I was most impressed with their professional attitude and they worked extremely hard emptying a second floor flat. They in fact finished the work half a day earlier than anticipated. The quote was very reasonable and I would certainly recommend them to others.

I had my piano moved and was very pleased with the punctual, efficient and friendly service provided. Van man removals were the most reasonable quote I was given and were able to complete the work relatively quickly, keeping me up to date with the progress. I would have no doubt in recommending them to others.

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.

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.

Heartfelt thanks to Leon, Colin & Luke who moved the contents of my previous five bedroom home from the excellent VanMan storage unit in Tiverton to a storage unit in Cheshire. Having moved me into storage after selling my previous home I have found VanMan Exeter extremely efficient and helpful, all moves were carried out with great care and I couldn’t be happier with the services provided by Michael Bradley and his lovely team. Thoroughly recommended. Caroline.

Moving our family from Surrey to Devon we had enough on our plate and Mike and his team made the act of hiring removals hassle-free. Daryl, Luke and Colin did a great job on the day, arriving promptly first thing, packing everything into the vans methodically with real care and attention. 140 miles later all was offloaded remarkably fast and a real effort was made to put things where we wanted/needed them. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this firm in Devon or to anyone moving to/from the area from further afield.

Excellent efficient, professional removal service. Very good communication with Mike, the owner. Added items to my original list and this was not a problem. The 2 men came exactly on time, loaded quickly and expertly, no problems. Am very pleased with the service, would use them again and would recommend them to other people.

They packed me and moved me to my new place they were very friendly and helpful I was surprised how quick and easy it was. I would definitely recommend them and if ever needs be use them again
