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.

About this service

What facebook marketplace collection bristol actually looks like.

Facebook Marketplace pickups fill a lot of van-hours in Bristol. Sofas, wardrobes, bikes, fridges, shelves, kids’ stuff — deals that only work if you can actually get to them. I handle the collection and delivery end so you don’t need a mate with a van or a Zipcar booking. £75/hr solo, £110/hr two-man. No VAT, no call-out. Most in-Bristol Marketplace runs are under 90 minutes.

Marketplace etiquette

Marketplace sellers usually want cash on collection and a firm pickup time. Coordinate with them first, then book me for a slot around that. I’ll message you when I’m 15 minutes out from the seller so you can let them know. Seller not home, item not as described, whatever — normal seller-buyer problems, but I’m there as your eyes and muscle, so if something’s clearly not right, you get a photo before we load.

Two-man jobs

Two-man rate (£110/hr) is worth it for heavy or awkward pieces: 3-seater sofas, fridges, washing machines, solid-wood wardrobes. One-man is fine for the rest. I’ll tell you which on the phone based on what you’re collecting.

About us

Checkatrade — 9.8/10 · 164 Reviews

Bristol 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.
