Recent move: Birmingham to Dundee
Maria needed to move around 9m³ of belongings, two bikes, a chair and flowers from Birmingham to Dundee. We collected her belongings the day before, then set off at 3:30am for the roughly 700-mile round trip and arrived before 11am as planned. Everything was carried to the third floor, with no lift, and even the fragile flowers arrived safely.

What Our Birmingham Customers Say
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ "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.

How do I book a man with a van in Birmingham?

Frequently Asked Questions - Man and Van Birmingham
Here you will find answers to common questions about our pricing, booking process, services, and coverage to help you plan a smooth, stress-free move across Birmingham and the West Midlands.
How much does a man with a van cost in Birmingham?
Our local furniture moves start from £45. House and flat removal quotes for removals in Birmingham depend on the belongings being moved, distance, stairs, lifts and parking access. Send your moving date, both postcodes and a list or photos of your items by WhatsApp, and we’ll confirm the price or applicable hourly rate before you book.
Is it cheaper to hire a van or a man and van?
Hiring a van yourself can cost less if you can manage the driving, loading and unloading. Remember to include fuel and any equipment you need. Our service includes a two-man team, a Luton van with a tail lift, protective blankets, straps and trolleys, so you have help with the lifting and transport.
What affects the cost of a man and van in Birmingham?
The cost mainly depends on how long your move takes. The amount you’re moving, the distance between addresses, access issues such as stairs or parking, and any dismantling or reassembly can all affect the time needed. We charge the same rate every day. For an accurate quote, send us your postcodes, a list of what you’re moving and any access details.
How far in advance should I book a man with a van?
Book a man with a van in Birmingham as soon as your moving date is confirmed, particularly for weekends, month-end moves and busy student moving periods. Booking early gives you a better choice of dates and times. At Shift It Man and Van Removals, we also accept short-notice and same-day bookings when our schedule allows.
Can you move a single item?
Yes. We handle single-item collections such as sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables and appliances.
What day is the cheapest for removals?
Some removal companies offer lower prices on quieter weekdays, but at Shift It Man and Van Removals, our rates are the same every day of the week. Your quote depends on the move itself, including your belongings, distance and property access, so choose the day that suits you best.
Do you offer long-distance removals from Birmingham to London?
Yes. We provide removals from Birmingham to London and other destinations across the UK, provided either collection or delivery is within our local service area. Our two-man team handles loading, transport and unloading. Send us both postcodes, your moving date and details of your belongings for a tailored quote.
Do you offer same-day or short-notice removals?
Yes, we frequently handle urgent same-day and short-notice moves across Birmingham and the West Midlands, including flat moves, small house removals, office relocations, and student moves. Availability subject to schedule.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We carry Goods in Transit, Public Liability and Hire & Reward insurance. Contact us if you would like details of the cover and limits for our man and van service before booking.
What vehicle do you use for moves?
We operate a 16 cubic metre Luton van equipped with a tail lift, making it ideal for efficient flat and house moves, bulky furniture transport, and secure stacking.
Can you move large furniture items like sofas and wardrobes?
Yes. We regularly handle heavy, awkward, and fragile items, including bulky sofas, wardrobes, beds, appliances, single-item eBay deliveries, and specialist upright pianos. We also offer professional furniture dismantling and reassembly services.
Do you offer services for students?
Yes, we provide flexible student removals tailored for University of Birmingham and Birmingham City University students moving into halls, shared houses, or short-term lets in Selly Oak, Edgbaston, Harborne, and the city centre.
Can you help with commercial and office removals?
