About this service
What house removals bristol actually looks like.
Most house moves in Bristol don’t need a four-man removals firm with a 7.5-tonner. They need a long-wheelbase van, someone who knows how to load it, and a rate that doesn’t double on the day. That’s what I do. Hourly — £75/hr for one man, £110/hr for two — and the drive back is included in the time, so you’re paying for the round trip and nothing else. I’ll give a rough estimate of hours on the phone once I know rooms, route and parking. Blankets, straps and a sack truck come with the van. I’m based in Nailsea and run into Bristol most days — moves can usually be slotted within the same week, sooner if you’re flexible on the time of day.
Routes I run from Bristol
Local Bristol-to-Bristol moves are the bulk of the diary; Bristol-to-Bath, Bristol-to-Weston and Bristol-to-South-Wales also routine. Cross-town moves and inter-town moves both fine — I price by distance plus time on site, not by mystery surcharges.
Loading is what saves the day
Bristol housing stock runs from Georgian terraces in Clifton and Redland through Victorian streets in Bedminster and Easton to 2000s flats around the harbourside. Three usual Bristol headaches on a move: tight quarter-turns in the older terraces, residents-permit streets that need a council suspension for a long van, and harbourside flats that are lift-only with a loading bay. The bit that goes wrong on most house moves is the loading order — fragile and tall items in last so they come out first at the new place. I load that way as standard and protect corners with blankets, not just a quick wrap and pray.

About us
Checkatrade — 9.8/10 · 164 ReviewsBristol Local Van Man — removals and clearance in Bristol.
Bristol Local Van Man is run by Nigel, a Nailsea-based owner-operator with 15+ years in removals and clearance across Bristol, Bath and the wider South West. We handle removals, rubbish clearance, house clearance and office clearance under one roof.
Most jobs are done by Nigel direct. Busy weeks and larger jobs bring in trusted local drivers Nigel has worked with for years — every one carries the same waste-carrier paperwork and works to the same fixed-price standard.
Waste is carried away under our UK registered waste carrier licence (CBDU445737), so items taken off your property go to a licensed facility rather than a side street.
Whether you’re moving a one-bed flat in central Bristol, clearing a probate property in Bath, or stripping out an office in Weston-super-Mare, get a price up front before anything is loaded.

House Removals Bristol— common questions.
How much are house removals in Bristol?
Hourly: £75/hr for one man, £110/hr for two — drive back included in the time. Small flat moves are typically 3–4 hours, 2-bed terrace moves 5–7 hours. I’ll estimate hours on the phone so you know what to expect.
Do you do moves further afield?
Yes — I run from Bristol across the South West and down to South Wales regularly. Same hourly rate, drive back included in the time.
Can I help with the loading?
Yes if you want to save time, or sit it out and let me crack on. Either works.
