Long-distance move from Exeter, Devon to Exeter, Devon

Highly recommended removal company

I cannot recommend this company enough. Leon, Dean, Ryan and Alan completely took the stress out of moving day and were so careful when moving everything out of the old house and into the new. We had not moved for 22 years so were very nervous about trusting a company we hadn't used before however they were excellent, very polite, patient and professional throughout from quote stage right through to moving day. Well done, you have a great team.

REMOVALS

We used Van Man Removals and Storage to move furniture from Devon to Surrey with 2 delivery stops in Surrey.

We cannot recommend them highly enough, Mike was so professional in organising the date, and accommodating this to fit around our tight schedule.

Matt and Luke are a great asset to the company, so professional, smart, accommodating and friendly, everything was beyond our expectations, and we would have no hesitation in recommending this very professional company.

Excellent Service!

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! :)

Very good experience

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.

Long-distance move from Exeter, Devon to London, Greater London

Piano and table move

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!

Moving heavy and awkward items

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.

Van Man Ex-Display Kitchen & Bathroom Removal

The Van Man team were absolutely brilliant from start to finish, specifically Leon & Ryan . We’re really grateful, our move couldn’t have gone any smoother. Communication with Mike was great, the packing and wrapping was excellent and the delivery and unpacking at the final destination was pain free. A 1st class service I’d recommend Van Man to everyone and I already have.

Outstanding service

Leon, Matt and Dean did an excellent job at moving all of our things. Highly professional, and had us packed up and moved within the morning. They took extremely good care of our delicate items, and more than happy to discuss how best to prepare furniture for the move. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone moving in the area! Really nice guys.

Removals

We used Van Man for the first time a number of years ago and haven’t used another company since. Mike and the team of Leon, Matt, Dean, Dave and Ryan were super efficient in the way that they moved all the furniture and boxes into the new house.

They were careful, friendly to deal with and more than happy to help.

It made things very much easier from my point of view.

Mike is extremely efficient to deal with and responds to all communications very quickly and in a friendly manner.

Thank you Van Man.

Long-distance move from Devon to Greater London

Removal to 3 destinations

The firm carried out a removal from Exeter to be distributed around three addresses in Bristol and London. The job was carried out in a single day. They were efficient and careful in carrying out the task and the recipients were equally pleased with their work. They arrived punctually to effect the removal and used six men to do that whilst two of them continued on the delivery of the various items. Their price was the median of three obtained so we knew it was fair. We liked the fact that they are a firm which pays their crew fairly and above the minimum wage; they also support local charities.

Thank you for your kind words David - really pleased you were happy with the work completed and with our approach to business

Move from Taunton to Warminster

A few weeks before the move i was sent all the necessary packaging. Mike set up and fixed a date in. On the day of the love the team arrived on time, we’re polite throughout and efficiently moved all of our items with due care. Safe to say that I will be using them in the future and recommending them to friends. Excellent service all around

Brilliant Service

I can't rate Van Man Exeter highly enough. I needed to clear out my deceased parents place quickly and Mike and the team were fast to respond, quote and move with professionalism and understanding. They made a stressful and emotional situation much more manageable. They were careful, yet efficient and I would highly recommend not only their removals but storage facilities as well.
