Step by step
How our man and van service works in Scotland
Booking a removal should take minutes, not days. Send us your postcodes and a quick list of what is moving and you get a fixed all-in price — £40 per hour for one man and van, £70 per hour for two men, the first 10 miles included. Below is exactly what happens from your first message to the last box being carried in, plus how we price stairs, mileage and driving time.
The six steps of a VibeMove booking
- 1
Tell us about the move
Send your pickup and delivery postcodes, the date you need and a short list of what is moving. Use the quote form, WhatsApp on 07476 052809 or email info@vibemove.co.uk. Photos of large or awkward items help us send the right van and crew first time.
- 2
Get a fixed price, usually within the hour
We price on crew size, hours and mileage — £40/hour for one man and van, £70/hour for two men. The first 10 miles are included, then £1 per mile. No hidden fuel levies, congestion add-ons or weekend premiums appear later.
- 3
Book your slot
Confirm by WhatsApp or email and pick a morning or afternoon window, including evenings and weekends. Same day and next day slots are often available across Lanarkshire, Glasgow and central Scotland.
- 4
We prepare and protect
Blankets, straps, trolleys and a tail-lift-friendly loading plan come as standard. Tell us about stairs, lifts, permits or parking restrictions and we plan the access before the van leaves the yard.
- 5
Load, drive, unload
Your insured crew arrives on time, loads carefully, drives direct and places every item in the room you want. Goods in transit cover and public liability insurance apply throughout.
- 6
Final check and payment
We walk the property with you, reassemble anything we dismantled and remove packaging or waste if you booked clearance. Pay by bank transfer or card on completion — you get a written receipt.
What your quote includes
- Hourly crew rate: £40 for one man and van, £70 for two men, charged from arrival.
- Mileage: first 10 miles free, then £1 per mile between postcodes.
- Driving time charged at the crew rate after the first 20 minutes.
- Blankets, straps, trolleys, goods in transit and public liability insurance.
- Optional extras quoted up front: stairs above ground floor, dismantling, waste clearance.
How to prepare for moving day
- Pack small items into boxes and label them by room — loose bags slow loading down.
- Empty drawers and wardrobes; we can dismantle beds and flat-pack furniture on request.
- Reserve parking or a suspension bay if you are on a red route or a tenement street.
- Book lift access with your building manager for flats above the second floor.
- Keep valuables, documents and medication with you rather than in the van.
- Flag anything fragile, heavy or over 2 metres so we bring extra straps and a second pair of hands.

The same process for every service
Whether it is a full house move, a single sofa or a licensed rubbish clearance, the booking steps above stay the same — only the van, crew and kit change.
House & flat moves
Looking for a man and van for a house or flat move in Scotland? VibeMove handles studio flats, tenement stairs, three-bed houses and long-distance relocations with insured crews, proper protection and one fixed price agreed before we start.
See how it works →Furniture delivery
Bought a sofa, bed or wardrobe and need it collected today? VibeMove is a Scotland-wide furniture delivery service for single items and part loads — Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, eBay, auction houses and retail collections.
See how it works →Waste clearance
Our "skip run" service clears what you no longer want without the permit, the driveway skip or the waiting. VibeMove is a licensed waste carrier working across Scotland for house, garden, garage, loft and office clearances.
See how it works →Courier & parcels
When a parcel can't wait for a network, VibeMove runs a dedicated same-day courier service across Scotland and the UK. Your consignment goes straight from collection to delivery in one van, with no depots or sorting hubs in between.
See how it works →Motorcycle transport
VibeMove offers specialist motorcycle transport between Scotland and England. Whether you've bought a bike in London, are selling to a buyer in Manchester or moving a non-runner from Glasgow, we load it on a ramp, strap it upright and deliver it on our regular Scotland ↔ England runs — usually within 48 hours.
See how it works →Business & office moves
VibeMove moves offices, shops, studios and stock across Scotland with minimum downtime. We work evenings and weekends so your team is back online the next working morning, and quote the whole relocation as one fixed price.
See how it works →Building materials delivery

Same day and next day man and van slots across Lanarkshire, Greater Glasgow and central Scotland, with long-distance UK moves priced per mile.
How it works — frequently asked questions
Man and van in Glasgow — local questions
Tenement flats, controlled parking and city-centre loading bays make Glasgow moves different from a suburban house move. Here is how we handle them.
Coatbridge, Airdrie and Monklands questions
Coatbridge and Airdrie are on our daily route, so short-notice bookings and small single-item jobs are usually possible the same day.
Motherwell, Wishaw and Newmains questions
North Lanarkshire house moves, council-property handovers and end-of-tenancy clearances are a big part of our week.
Hamilton, Bellshill, Falkirk and surrounding towns
We work daily across the Central Belt, so the towns around Lanarkshire and Falkirk get the same rates and the same crews.
