At Man And Van – Romford, we know moving home is a big step. Whether it’s your first flat or a full family house, it’s a day that can bring a mix of anticipation and stress. One of the easiest ways to stay ahead of the chaos is choosing the right van size.
Get it right, and everything runs smoothly. Get it wrong, and you’re facing multiple trips, awkward packing, and wasted time. That’s why we’ve created a free Van Size Calculator and a downloadable guide — so you’re not left guessing when it matters most.

Understanding Van Sizes for Your Move
Smaller vans are ideal for quick moves — a studio flat, a few large items, or anything that doesn’t fill a room. They’re great if you’re moving locally or travelling light.
If you’ve got more to carry — say a one- or two-bedroom flat — a medium van usually fits the bill. These handle white goods, larger furniture, and plenty of boxes without making you double back for more.
Larger vans step in when there’s more to shift. Two- or three-bedroom homes, or small office moves, usually call for this size. You’ll save time by fitting everything in at once, without squeezing things in awkwardly.
And when the job is big — a large family home, or especially heavy furniture — an extra-large van gives you space to breathe. You’ll avoid overloading, and have an easier time loading and unloading.

Why Van Size Choice Makes a Difference
A van that’s too small means repeat trips, rushed packing, and more stress than necessary. Too large, and you’re spending more than you need to — while struggling to stop things shifting around in transit.
Getting the size right helps your belongings stay protected. It also gives you a clearer moving plan, letting you load once and drive direct. That means fewer headaches and more time to get settled in your new place.
Finding the Van That Suits Your Move
Start by looking around your home. Count up your boxes, measure bulkier furniture, and think about how much space you’ll need once it’s all packed. Don’t forget packing materials like blankets or bubble wrap — they can take up more room than expected.
If you’re unsure, our Romford-based team is here to help. Just give us a call, and we’ll walk you through it. We’ve handled every kind of move, and we’ll make sure you’re not left with too little — or too much — space.
Make Your Move Run Smoothly
Good packing matters just as much as the right van. Label your boxes clearly, group similar items together, and keep important things — chargers, keys, kettle — somewhere easy to grab.
Towels or duvets can help cushion breakables if you’re short on bubble wrap. Disassembling furniture makes loading easier and gives you more flexibility with the space.
On moving day, you’ll thank yourself for the extra ten minutes spent getting it right.
