Our Man and Van Services in Birmingham
We provide a range of man and van services in Birmingham, from single-item furniture collections and student moves to flat, house and small office removals. Whether you're moving locally or relocating further afield, our experienced team can help with loading, transport and unloading.
House Removals and Small House Moves
Our house removals in Birmingham service is particularly suited to one and two-bedroom properties. We carefully load and unload your furniture, appliances, boxes and household belongings using protective equipment.
For larger moves, we'll assess your inventory and advise whether our van capacity and available time are suitable.
Flat and Apartment Removals
Moving from a flat can involve narrow staircases, lifts, restricted parking and awkward furniture. We regularly handle apartment removals in Birmingham City Centre, including moves involving upper-floor properties and limited access.
Our team plans loading and unloading around the access available at both addresses.
Furniture Removals and Single-Item Collections
Need a sofa, wardrobe, bed or dining table transported? Our furniture removal service covers single-item collections and larger furniture loads.
We also tackle difficult sofa moves. Where appropriate and practical, we can remove doors, dismantle furniture or arrange access by carefully deglazing suitable windows.
Furniture dismantling and reassembly can be discussed before booking.
Student Moves
Our student moving service helps students relocating between accommodation, shared houses and storage facilities.
We cover Selly Oak, Edgbaston, Harborne, Aston and Birmingham City Centre, including moves involving the University of Birmingham, Birmingham City University and Aston University.
Office and Commercial Removals
We provide office removals for smaller businesses, moving desks, chairs, equipment and office furniture.
Our team has also handled specialist commercial relocations, including a complete commercial kitchen move praised in a customer review.
Upright Piano Removals

The Right Van for Birmingham Moves
Our 3.5-tonne Luton van offers approximately 16m³ of loading space, making it suitable for many flat and small house removals.
The electric-hydraulic tail lift helps with heavy furniture and appliances, while blankets, straps and moving trolleys protect and secure your belongings.
Unlike general van hire services, our man and van hire includes an experienced two-man team to handle the lifting, loading, transport and unloading.
Our Clean Van Guarantee means we never use the vehicle for rubbish, scrap metal or garden waste collections.
How Much Does a Man and Van Cost in Birmingham?
Our local furniture moves start from £45, while house and flat removal prices depend on the size and requirements of your move.
The total cost is influenced by the volume of belongings, travelling distance, stairs, lifts, parking access and whether furniture dismantling and reassembly are required.
Unlike some removal companies, we charge the same rates every day, including weekends, with no additional weekend premium.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ "Commercial Kitchen Move Exceeded Expectations!"
"Absolutely brilliant service from Shift It – Man and Van. They moved my entire commercial kitchen from one location to another, and I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but they completely exceeded it. From start to finish they just got on with everything and handled it all for us. It’s a father-and-son business, and they were both incredibly friendly, calm, and professional. There were a few challenges along the way, but nothing phased them, they smashed every single one and kept smiling throughout (which I hugely admired, because I probably would’ve lost my head!). I’m 100% happy with the service and would absolutely recommend them to anyone. I’ve been telling everyone all day how brilliant they were" — Verity C.

Is it cheaper to hire a van or a man with a van?
Hiring a self-drive van can be cheaper if you're comfortable driving, loading and unloading everything yourself.
