Friendly driver, blankets, straps, sack truck and a ‘can do’ attitude. Small local moves in one load, or extra trips if you need them.
About this service
What removals in Bristol actually looks like.
I’m a man-and-van hire service, not a big removal company. Perfect for small moves where everything fits in one van load — and if you need more trips, no problem, as long as it’s kept local. Need an extra pair of hands? Book a helper, or save some cash and muck in yourself.
- Small flat, part-house and single-item moves
- More trips if you need them — kept local
- Book an extra helper or join in yourself
Pricing
Removals pricing
Removals are priced hourly, so you only pay for the time the job actually takes. I’ll give an estimate from your room list up front and confirm on the day.
Just me and the van — works for studios, 1-beds and part-loads.
An extra pair of hands — faster for 2-beds, heavy furniture or tricky access.
- No VAT
- No call-out fee
- No minimum-job padding — I charge the actual time
- Typical 1-bed move: 3–6 hours. 2-bed: 5–9 hours.
How it works
Book a Bristol van in three steps.
- 1
Get in touch
Fill in the quote form with a few details about your move or clearance, or call us direct. The more you can tell us about access, stairs and the items involved, the tighter the price we can give you.

Receive a quote
We’ll reply with a price for your Bristol removal or clearance. Any access quirks or timing constraints are factored in up front, so the figure we send is the figure you pay.

Book the van
Confirm the date and we’ll handle the rest — loading, driving and unloading anywhere in Bristol, Bath or the South West. If it’s a clearance, waste is taken away under our waste carrier licence.
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.

Frequently asked
Man with a van Bristol — common questions.
What areas do you cover?
We cover Bristol and the surrounding South West, including Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Clevedon, Nailsea, Portishead, Thornbury, Bridgwater, Taunton, Glastonbury, Wells and Frome. If your postcode isn’t listed, get in touch and we’ll let you know.
What services do you offer?
Removals, rubbish clearance, house clearance and office clearance. Storage is coming soon. Tell us what you need when you request a quote and we’ll confirm what we can cover.
Are you a licensed waste carrier?
Yes. We hold a UK waste carrier licence (CBDU445737), so any rubbish, house clearance or office clearance we take away is transported and disposed of at a licensed facility.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the quote form on this page with a few details about your job, or call us on 0117 379 0306. We’ll come back to you with a price for your Bristol removal or clearance.
What’s the difference between rubbish clearance and house clearance?
Rubbish clearance is usually a single type of waste — garden waste, a shed full of rubble, a bulk bag of builder’s offcuts. House clearance is a larger, mixed job: sorting and removing the contents of a whole room, flat or property, typical for end-of-tenancy, probate or downsizing.
Do you do house clearances in Bath?
Yes — we cover house clearances across Bath, Bristol, Weston-super-Mare, Bridgwater and most of the South West. The quote takes the collection postcode and disposal journey into account.
Can I book a single-item move?
Yes. A lot of our removals work is single items and part loads — sofas, beds, fridges, garden furniture — as well as full house moves.
