Man with a Van in Worthing: what actually matters here
A Regency and Victorian seaside town below the South Downs that spread west and north through the twentieth century into large interwar and post-war suburbs at Goring, Durrington and Findon Valley.
The housing stock is Regency and Victorian seafront terraces and villas in BN11, many divided into flats; substantial Edwardian houses in Heene and Tarring; interwar and post-war semis and bungalows across Goring-by-Sea, Durrington and Broadwater; and retirement flats with lifts and managing agents throughout the central seafront blocks, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a man with a van job.
The seafront blocks along Marine Parade and the central BN11 streets are controlled-parking and metered, and the purpose-built retirement blocks there run on managing-agent rules — booked lifts, communal floor protection, permitted hours — so those jobs are arranged with the agent before the day. Suburban Goring, Durrington and Findon Valley are the opposite: drives, side access and space to work. Findon Valley and High Salvington climb the Downs steeply enough to rule out the largest vehicle on some lanes. Worthing Borough sets parking and bulky-waste rules; disposal sites are West Sussex County Council's and need a permit for a van or trailer.
From Broadwater, Tarring and Heene through to the BN11, BN12 and BN13 edges of Worthing, one price list applies — the address decides the access, not the rate.
Worthing is one of the larger settlements in the county, and addresses around Worthing Pier and the Downs above Cissbury and High Salvington in particular tend to need the access details confirmed before the van is loaded — we ask about that at quote stage, not on the day.
What a man with a van job includes
Man with a van is a driver plus a van, charged by the hour with a two-hour minimum, and it is the right choice when the load is smaller than a full house: a one-bed flat, a student move, a few pieces of furniture, a marketplace collection or a run to a storage unit. Two crew can be sent when there are stairs or heavy items, and the clock starts when we arrive at the pickup address, not when the van leaves the depot.
The van and crew
- Luton or long-wheelbase van with a tail-lift or ramp, swept out before every job
- Driver who carries as well as drives — a second porter is bookable by the hour
- Trolleys, straps, ratchet ties and a set of transit blankets carried as standard
- Goods in transit cover of £10k per load and £1m public liability in place before we load
Loading and transport
- Furniture blanket-wrapped and strapped to the van wall, not stacked loose
- Mattresses bagged and TVs and mirrors carried upright between boards
- Sofas, beds and flat-pack dismantled and rebuilt where it is the only way through a doorway
- Direct drive to the delivery address — we do not consolidate your load with anyone else's
At the other end
- Boxes placed in the room you label, not left in the hall
- Beds and tables reassembled where we took them apart
- Packaging and blankets taken away with us
- A signed job sheet with the start and finish times, so the hours are never in dispute
What changes the price on a man with a van job
- Floor level matters. Third floor with no lift is a slower carry than a ground-floor flat, so tell us the level at both ends and we will send the right number of crew instead of running over.
- Volume is easy to underestimate. A one-bed flat with a full loft or garage is a two-load job in a single van; send photos and we will tell you straight whether it fits in one run.
- Parking, congestion charge and ULEZ where they are genuinely incurred are the only pass-through items on a van job: they are listed separately on the quote at cost, never marked up.
- We do not carry hazardous goods, fuel, paint tins or live plants in a stacked load, and pianos, safes and full-size gym equipment are a specialist quote rather than an hourly job.
- Parking decides the price more than distance does: a suspended bay, a permit or a long carry from the nearest legal stopping point adds time, and we would rather price that honestly up front than start the clock and surprise you.

4.5 ★ from 3,131 Trustpilot reviewsWas able to hire a van and driver at very short notice. Great value for money.

Worthing questions, answered.
How quickly can you book man with a van in Worthing?
Same-week slots are standard in Worthing, with next-day often available midweek. Month-end tenancy changeovers are the busiest window across West Sussex, so book those a week or two ahead.
How many hours should I book?
A studio or small one-bed with a straightforward carry is usually two to three hours; a full one-bed with a garage or loft is typically four to five. Book the estimate rather than the best case — we bill the time actually used in 30-minute blocks after the two-hour minimum, so booking a little long costs you nothing.
Will you help carry, or is it just the driving?
The driver carries. That is the difference between us and a van-hire firm. If the job needs two pairs of hands — a sofa bed, a three-storey walk-up, an American fridge — book the van with two movers instead and the whole job usually finishes quicker and cheaper than one person struggling.
Do you take furniture away or to the tip as part of the move?
We can take a small amount of unwanted furniture at the same visit, but it is charged separately because it goes to a licensed transfer station and we pay by weight. We are an Environment Agency registered waste carrier (CBDU300454), and you get the transfer note. If most of the load is waste, a clearance quote is cheaper than an hourly van.
What happens if something is damaged?
Goods in transit cover of £10k per load applies to everything we put in the van, alongside £1m public liability. We note anything already marked or fragile with you before it is loaded, and anything raised within 24 hours of the job is put right under our complaints policy rather than argued about.
Can you do same-day, evening or weekend collections?
Often, yes — same-day depends on where the van already is that morning. Out-of-hours and weekend slots are charged at 1.25× the standard hourly rate, and you are told that before you book, never afterwards.
