The Adventures of a Local Van Man Bristol
Hiya! I’m your friendly Local Van Man, based right here in the heart of Bristol. Welcome to the home of one man, one van, and a whole lot of moving know-how. Whether I’m shifting furniture across town, clearing out a cluttered garage, or squeezing down a tight Victorian terrace with a wardrobe in tow, it’s all part of the adventure.
If you’re after a hand with a move or a proper clear-out, take a look at what I do. From full house moves to tip runs and odd jobs, there’s not much this van hasn’t seen.
Life on the Move
It all started with a second-hand van, a couple of mates on speed dial, and a whole lot of enthusiasm. Back then, I had no idea how many Bristolians were crying out for a simple, reliable, no-fuss van service. Now, years later, I’m still loving every minute of it.
If you’re curious about how this all came to be (and the story behind the cactus incident), head over to the About Me page.
Making Moving Day Easy
Let’s face it—moving house can be a nightmare. Between the endless boxes, awkward corners, and parking roulette, it’s no wonder people dread it. That’s why I offer a stress-free Bristol removals service that takes the hassle out of your hands.
Whether you’re relocating across town, upsizing, downsizing, or just heading around the corner, I’ve got the van, the muscle, and the know-how to get it done right. I treat every move like it’s my own—and yes, I do love a good game of Tetris when loading the van!
Clearing Space, Clearing Minds
Now let’s talk rubbish—literally. From old beds to broken appliances, garden sheds to attic treasures, my Bristol waste clearance service sorts the lot. Fully licensed and always tidy, I’ll make sure your unwanted stuff disappears responsibly.
I recycle and donate wherever I can, and I always sweep up before I go. You’d be surprised how satisfying a proper clear-out can be—some folks say it’s even therapeutic!
No Job Too Weird
One of the best bits about this job? The stories. I’ve moved drum kits, disco balls, and once even a fully dressed mannequin called Maureen. I’ve helped students move into their first digs and pensioners into their dream downsizes. Every job is different—and that’s just how I like it.
Fancy a Chat?
If you’re thinking of booking or just want to ask a few questions, feel free to get in touch. I’m always happy to chat, give a no-pressure quote, or talk through your plan. Whether it’s a big move, a last-minute job, or something a bit unusual, I’ll do my best to help.
You can also check out the full list of services I offer to see if anything else takes your fancy.
o whether you’ve got a single sofa to shift or an entire house to move, whether you’re clearing out a loft or just making space for something new, I’m here to help. No faff, no fuss—just honest work, fair prices, and the kind of service that actually makes you glad you didn’t try to rope your mate in with the promise of a pint.
I know Bristol like the back of my hand—from the steep hills of Totterdown to the back lanes of Stokes Croft—so wherever you are, I’ll find you. I turn up on time, I get stuck in, and I treat your stuff like it’s my own.
Got a job that’s a bit odd? No problem. I love a challenge, and there’s not much that surprises me these days (though I do draw the line at live animals… learned that the hard way).
Anyway, if you’re ready to book, have a question, or just want to chat about what you need—drop me a message or give me a bell. I’m always up for a good natter and a new van-based adventure.
