Finding a good man and van near me

 What is a man and van service?

 A man and van service is usually someone that can move things from one place to another, normally with a small or medium sized van. Normally it’s the removal of household items and junk from your property. Man & Van are normally a little cheaper because they have smaller overheads and typically made up of 1 or 2 people and they run day to day so normally have availability at quite short notice. You’ll normally find that they do most local stuff so are always in the area so they have high availability.

 Where do I find a man with a van near me?

 The go to is always ask a friend. Personal accounts from people you trust go a long way but the way technology is, google is always the go to when we have 24/7 access to our phones. Google ‘man and van Edinburgh’ or ban andc’ and it’ll bring up countless options for you to use. You can always see them about the local area, and the more you see them, they are more likely to be local. Being based near you, keep costs down as it’s less distance and time to travel. YourJunk operates in and around Edinburgh for all your Edinburgh moves and junk removals.

 How much does a man and van cost?

 The cost of a man and van will always depend on what you want them to do. Most will charge you by the hour if you are taking something from A to B. Always be clear on when the job starts and ends but to keep everything simple, they should have enough experience to let you know how long it would take and organize a fix fee before beginning.

 When nit comes to waste removal, there’s obviously going to be additional time for labor and charges to head to registered recycling centers but make sure if it’s for waste that the man and van is a licensed waste carrier with SEPA and they have all the licenses because YOU are responsible for your own waste with huge fines if it isn’t disposed of properly.

 How can I reduce costs of a man and van?

 Most of the jobs carried out by man and van are by time, so get everything prepared for them arriving. Make the access good, have everything on ground level or outside because the time going in and going upstairs can be the difference.

 If you are getting rid of waste, having it bagged, curbside and easy to pick up will keep costs down. Having the man and van go round the back, for small handfuls of stuff will take multiple trips meaning they are with you longer. If everything is outside, bagged and ready curbside for collection, YourJunk will be a lot less for any uplift.

 How do I avoid using rogue traders?

 It’s always good to ask questions, but you need to know what right questions to ask. They should have a DBS and they should have public liability insurance for moving things. If they are moving waste, they should be registered with SEPA which is the Scottish Environment Protection Agency which has a record.

 Always look through Social media channels for testimonials along with checking on Scotland Trusted Trader so that you can see who is verified and has previous customers recommendations. Check everything such as websites and local groups to see what others have got to say about a man and van.

 What are the alternatives to hiring a man ad van?

 For moving things, established removal companies are the best for you. More experienced, more expensive but more reputable for house moves. For clearance waste, skips are always an option but you pay for maybe not filling it, plus a permit and paying more than you use. YourJunk offers a better alterative, that allows for narrow access, 2 operatives to help on a job and makes things so much easier on uplift day.
