Colchester Pricing: A Guide to Garrison, Student & Historic Move Costs

Whether you're moving to Colchester for its incredible history, the university, or its excellent commuter links to London, you deserve a moving service with clear and honest pricing. At Find My Man and Van, our network of local operators believe in being completely upfront about how your quote is calculated. This guide explains the key local factors that can shape the final cost of our man and van services, so you can plan your budget with confidence.

What Goes Into Your Personalised, No-Surprise Quote

Here's a look at what goes into your personalised, no-surprise quote:

  • A Simple Hourly Rate: Your quote is built on our straightforward hourly rate. The final price simply reflects the time your move takes, with no hidden extras for fuel or mileage on local jobs. The key variable is always time, which is where local knowledge comes in.
  • Historic vs. Modern Access: Colchester has a huge variety of properties. A house removal in the narrow, historic streets of the Dutch Quarter naturally requires more time and care than a move to a modern new-build estate on the outskirts with wide roads and easy access. Our local man and van partners discuss your property type with you to provide an accurate time estimate.
  • Serving Our Garrison & University: Our man and van removal services have extensive experience with moves for military personnel at the Colchester Garrison and for students at the University of Essex. Our network of local operators understand the specific timings and access requirements that often accompany these moves and factor that into our planning for an efficient day.
  • Parking Permits and Dispensations: In central areas with residents' parking schemes, getting our van parked close to your door can be tricky. Arranging a parking dispensation from the local council can save a lot of time and hassle. You can find information on how to do this on the North Essex Parking Partnership website, which manages this for Colchester.

By understanding these local factors, our man and van removal services can provide a fair and accurate quote tailored to your specific situation. It's our way of ensuring your move to Britain's oldest recorded town is a positive and stress-free experience.

Colchester Moving FAQ

Here are some of our most frequently asked questions on moving with a man and van service in Colchester...

Our man with a van service in Colchester starts as low as £20/hour, depending on your specific requirements and factors such as: Van size and number of movers:

  • Small van with one mover: ideal for single items or small flat moves.
  • Medium van with one or two movers: suitable for a one- or two-bedroom flat.
  • Large van (Luton) with two movers: best for larger moves or house relocations. Other factors include:
    • Distance of the move
    • Additional services (such as furniture assembly or packing)
    • Parking arrangements or congestion charges, especially in busy city centre areas

For comparison, the average cost of moving house in the UK with a traditional removal company is approximately £1,300 for a 3-bedroom house (up to 25 miles). This makes our Colchester man with a van service a much more flexible and affordable alternative—perfect for smaller moves or those on a budget. To ensure you get the best value, we use smart matching technology to connect you with the most suitable and competitively priced local movers near you. This means you receive the best possible quote without being overwhelmed by endless comparisons. At Find My Man & Van, getting a reliable, affordable Colchester man with a van service is simple.

This ensures your items are safely insured while in transit, giving you complete peace of mind throughout your move.

We only work with trusted, vetted drivers who meet strict professional standards, so you can rest assured that your move in Colchester is handled by experienced professionals.

Although we do recommend you book in advance for a flat or house removal for your peace of mind, man and van services are all about speed and flexibility. Our network of providers means that we can often do same-day moves for a similar price as if you’d booked in advance.

In contrast, most traditional removal companies recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance to secure your moving date and allow time for surveys, logistics planning and resource allocation.

We don't provide storage ourselves, but we'll help you find the best local options. At Find My Man & Van, our focus is on fast, reliable moving services — we don't offer storage directly. However, we understand that short-term storage is often part of the moving process.

Whether you're downsizing, between homes, on a university term break, or simply need time to settle in, there are plenty of self-storage facilities available in Colchester. To make things easier, here are a few reputable options to get you started:

  • Safestore With over 135 locations across the UK, Safestore offers secure and flexible personal, business, and student storage.
  • Access Self Storage Operating in over 50 locations nationwide, Access Self Storage provides flexible, secure storage solutions for personal and business needs.

If you need to make a stop on the way to leave items in storage, just add it in your booking and make sure you clearly label any items to be delivered.
