Man and Van Birmingham - House and Furniture Moves
We're Rob and James, a father-and-son team running Shift It Man and Van Removals from Longbridge in South Birmingham since 2019. We move homes, flats, offices and furniture across Birmingham and the West Midlands, and further afield when you need us to.
Every job is the two of us, a 3.5-tonne Luton van with an electric tail lift, and the blankets, straps and trolleys to do it properly. Local furniture moves start from £45, and same-day bookings are often possible. WhatsApp us your postcodes and what's moving, and we'll come back to you with a price.

Recent move: Birmingham to Dundee
We collected about 9m³ of belongings, two bikes, a chair and some flowers the day before. We set off at 3:30am, arrived in Dundee before 11am as planned, and carried everything up to a third-floor flat with no lift. That's a round trip of about 700 miles, and everything arrived safely, flowers included.
Reusable Moving Box Hire
20 reusable 62-litre plastic crates for £59 for 7 days, with free delivery and collection within 10 miles of B31 and a refundable deposit. No cardboard to store, recycle or throw away. Hire reusable moving boxes
The Right Van for Smaller Moves
Our 16m³ Luton holds the contents of a typical 1 or 2 bed home, a small office or a load of bulky furniture in one trip. The electric tail lift means heavy items are lifted on, not carried up a ramp. What fits in our Luton van?
What Our 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.
