Cardiff covers a lot of ground, so we price man & van from the job in front of us — the property, the access at both ends and the distance between them — not from the city name. The same published rate card applies wherever in Cardiff you are.

A driver and a van by the hour — for single rooms, part-loads, student moves and everything that does not need a full removals crew.

How man & van works, in full

With every move

Goods in Transit coverIncluded on every move, not sold as an add-on.
Public Liability coverIn place on every job, at home or at work.
Our own crewEvery mover is employed by AFS. We never pass your move to a subcontractor.
One named coordinatorYour single point of contact, from the quote to the last box.

We bring the materials. Boxes, tape, bubble wrap and wardrobe cartons arrive with the crew and are itemised in your quote, so there is nothing to buy or collect first.

Before moving day

Before moving day in Cardiff

Three things that decide how a move runs at any address. Tell us about them when you ask for a quote.

Parking at both addresses
Is there somewhere a van can legally stop close to the door? If a bay needs suspending, the council will want notice — often a week or more.
Floors, stairs and lifts
Which floor, and does a lift take furniture? Stairs are charged by the flight from the first floor up, and a working lift removes the charge.
The carry to the door
A long walk from the van, a narrow gate or a tight stairwell changes the time a job takes. Tell us, and it is planned rather than found.

Layla Kirsta
House Removals
“I recently used AFS Removals for my move from Hampstead (NW3) to Maida Vale (W9), and I could not be happier with the service provided. Johnny and the rest of the team made our moving day smooth and stress-free.”
Oba Frank
Full House Removal & Packing
“We could not recommend AFS Removals highly enough. Their professionalism, organisation, and attention to detail throughout the entire moving process were exceptional. Every member of the team was friendly, reliable, and committed.”
Simon Newbury
Short Notice House Move
“We had originally booked a local firm for our move, but due to a last minute exchange and insane demand for movers, none were available. AFS had a 3-man crew available at short notice who were brilliant and hardworking.”

Man & Van in Cardiff: common questions

Do you cover all of Cardiff?

Yes. We cover all of Cardiff and the rest of Cardiff, and we move people to and from anywhere in the UK. A long-distance move is priced from the same rate card as a local one — it just has more miles on it.

What are your prices for man & van in Cardiff?

The same as everywhere we work — our rates do not change by postcode. For example, transit lwb, driver only: £60/hr (2-hour minimum (£120)). Billed for the hours worked, never below the minimum. Mileage between your two addresses and any stairs (£10 per person, per flight, per hour at that address) are added in your written quote. Your itemised written quote arrives within 24 hours.

How far is Cardiff from your nearest office?

About 97 miles from our Coventry office. The time in your quote runs from the crew's arrival at your address, and the mileage is worked out from the road distance between your two addresses.

What is the minimum booking?

Two hours on the Small Transit and Transit LWB. Three hours on the Luton box van and the 5.5 and 7.5 tonne lorries.

Can I book a driver only, with no additional crew?

Yes, where the load allows it. Adding movers changes the hourly rate rather than adding a separate charge.

Is this suitable for a single item?

Yes. A single item, a part-load, or a full van run are all priced the same way — by the hour, plus mileage.
