I used Andy's services to clear a house my father had lived in since 1946. Fast, efficient and at a fair price. Five stars from me.
Andy and George moved my belongings with care and efficiency. Their approach made a stressful move a pleasant experience.
Cleared my late mother's house in St Annes. Respectful, efficient, and took away everything we did not need.

Packing & preparation tips
Practical advice from AndyVan to make moving day calmer, faster and safer for your belongings.
Get your supplies ready
- Marker pens in different colours (e.g. pink and blue) for instant visual labelling
- Bubble wrap for breakables
- Strong tape – gaffer tape is often better than thin parcel tape (rips by hand, sticks when damp)
- Double-walled boxes, or free banana / apple / fruit boxes from supermarkets and greengrocers
Fruit boxes are strong, stackable, often free, and ideal for plates, tools, shoes, media and small ornaments.
Pack one cabinet at a time
Work room by room and finish each cupboard or set of drawers completely before moving on. That reduces stress when you unpack.
- Lay out 4–5 boxes per cabinet before you start
- Separate: flat items, heavy items, fragile / odd shapes, and a bin for disposables
- Heaviest items at the bottom; fill boxes firmly to the top so they stack safely
- Wrap breakables in soft clothes or bubble wrap
- Label the box itself with marker pen – cabinet + room (sticky labels often fall off)
- Move finished boxes to a clear corner near the exit – don’t leave them cluttering the room
Last-day essentials box
Pack this first and live from it for a few days so everything else can go.
- Medication, chargers, key phone numbers and codes
- Kettle, mugs, basic cutlery, tea / coffee / milk
- Hairdryer, toaster, a pan or two
- Moving paperwork and appliance manuals
- Cordless drill, Allen keys, screwdrivers
More practical tips
- Heavier items → smaller boxes
- Leave light clothes in sturdy drawers; bag linens and pillows
- Use suitcases for glassware and serving dishes (padded)
- Tape cables to the back of appliances
- Original boxes for TVs and computers if you still have them
- Mirrors and large pictures: pad both sides and have them ready early – they often go in the van first
- Bundle long garden tools; put power tools in strong small boxes
- Tell us about lampshades early so they can be packed safely, not last-minute on top of the load
Colour coding
Using different coloured markers (e.g. one colour per person or room) makes unloading much faster. Label room doors at the new property the same way you labelled the boxes.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about quoting, booking, payment and what AndyVan can move. Call 07886 929 328 WhatsApp Facebook any time for more help.
When can I request a quote?
Any time – even before you have a firm date or exact new address. A full fixed quote can be given in advance. If details change, text or call 07886 929 328 rather than starting again.
Can you give a price over the phone?
Yes. We regularly give a full price by phone or email – either a fixed price for the items listed, an hourly rate, or both. For larger house moves it is often best to see the items in person.
Which areas do you cover?
Based in Blackpool, covering Lancashire, Manchester and much of the North West (including Blackburn, Bolton, Wigan, Lancaster, Preston, Cumbria and more). Local and long-distance moves within the UK (excluding Northern Ireland), depending on size.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
Not usually for local moves, unless it is a busy bank holiday or a very large job. Long-distance moves often need a deposit. If you are in a chain, dates can be flexible with enough notice. Deposit can be paid by phone, in person, bank transfer or PayPal.
How can I pay?
Cash, debit or credit card, bank transfer or PayPal. Cheques only if there is time to clear (usually 3–5 working days). Card payments can be taken by phone or on site with a mobile card machine. Receipts available.
When should I book?
As soon as you know your date – the diary fills up. We work long hours including evenings and weekends, so last-minute jobs are often still possible. If someone else wants the same slot as your quote, we will call you.
Can I move at the weekend?
Yes – Saturdays and Sundays, day or night, at no extra cost. A little more notice helps for Sunday evenings.
Fixed price or hourly?
We usually quote a fixed price for the items you list and stick to it. Hourly or day rates are also available. Call or use the quote form – evenings are fine.
Are you insured?
Yes – goods in transit and public liability insurance.
Can you dismantle and reassemble furniture?
Yes – mention this when quoting. Wardrobes, beds, tables, swings, office desks and many other items. Taking doors off is usually fine; worn or painted-over screws may take longer and may be charged. Tools are carried as standard.
Do you move pianos?
Upright pianos yes, with care (trolleys, protection). Typically four people – budget from around £130+. Gravel drives and awkward access add cost. Grand pianos are not moved in-house; we can point you to a specialist.
Do I have to empty drawers?
Light contents can often stay if the chest is sturdy. Books, heavy or breakable items should be packed separately. Some self-assembly furniture needs drawers emptied.
Will you clear the loft?
Yes if accessible by ladder and safe. It is time-consuming, so please mention it in advance – often quoted separately. Especially helpful for elderly customers or anyone who cannot access the loft safely.
Will furniture go where I want it?
Yes – rooms of your choice, beds and wardrobes placed as you prefer. Have a rough plan ready; measure beds and rooms if you can. Small adjustments on the day are fine.
Who arranges parking?
We need to park close to an accessible door (ideally within about 10m). Please check local restrictions and speak to neighbours – especially opposite your drive. Wheelie bins can reserve space. City-centre jobs may need a temporary permit. Parking fines are usually your responsibility or shared if arrangements were unclear.
What can you not move?
Examples include grand pianos, gas bottles, flammable liquids, deep-fat fryers with oil, loose cooking oil bottles and some paints. Ask if you are unsure.
Still have a question?
Call or text day or night.
