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.

Frequently Asked Questions - Shift It Man and Van Removals Birmingham
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.
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.
