About this service
What man and van hire thornbury actually looks like.
Man-and-van hire in Thornbury is the right call for moves where a full removal firm is overkill: a flat move, a single piece of furniture from a friend’s house, a part-load up to storage. Pricing is per hour with the van — you book a slot, I show up with blankets, straps and a sack truck, and we work through your list. No VAT, no call-out fee. I run up the A38 to Thornbury regularly and can usually pair smaller jobs into the same week as nearby Yate or Alveston bookings.
What’s included on the hour
A long-wheelbase van, blankets and straps, sack truck, hand tools for basic dismantling, and me on the carry. Most small flat moves are 3–4 hours; a single-item run across town is often an hour and out.
Parking and access in Thornbury
Thornbury splits between the old market-town centre around the High Street and a wide ring of post-war estate housing out toward Castle School and Park Road. Town-centre access is fine outside of market days; the estates are easy parking but watch for low arch heights into some older garage courts. If a permit’s needed at either end I’ll flag it at quote stage — sometimes it’s cheaper to grab a council suspension than to circle the block.

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.
