Flexible Man with a Van Across Truro and Mid-Cornwall

Whether you need a sofa collected from a seller near Malpas, furniture moved into student accommodation near Treliske Hospital, a single item delivered to a terrace on Tregolls Road, or a small load taken to storage, Jake's man with a van service is built for Truro's mix of narrow central streets, residential estates and surrounding villages. We regularly help students, NHS staff, junior doctors and nurses relocating around the hospital and college areas, as well as homeowners and landlords across the city.

Whether your property is close to the A390, tucked away behind Lemon Street or situated in one of the surrounding villages, we handle loading and unloading carefully and know the practical realities of parking near the Cathedral, access around Highertown and Gloweth, and the longer approaches to properties in Threemilestone or Langarth. Older Cornish cottages often have narrow staircases, low ceilings and restricted parking — we take this into account when planning the job.

When Is a Man with a Van Better Than a Removal Company?

If you're moving a few items, a studio flat, student accommodation or collecting furniture, a man with a van is often a far more cost-effective option than booking a full removals company.

What Affects the Price

Number of helpers needed, stairs or long carries, parking restrictions, van size required, and total distance. Central Truro jobs with limited loading space can take longer than easier-access properties on the outskirts.

Typical Jobs

Single furniture items, white goods, marketplace and shop collections, student moves, small flat or house moves, storage runs, and charity or auction drop-offs. We also assist NHS staff, junior doctors and nurses relocating near the Royal Cornwall Hospital and surrounding areas.

Fully Insured for Peace of Mind

Every job is carried out with care and respect for your property and belongings. We work carefully to avoid unnecessary damage and treat every item and property as if it were our own.

Where We Work

Truro city centre (Lemon Street, Kenwyn, Highcross, Boscawen), Highertown, Gloweth, Threemilestone, Treliske, Newham, Malpas, Trelander, Malabar, Arch Hill, Langarth, and villages including Tresillian, Feock, Carnon Downs, Chacewater, Shortlanesend, Playing Place and St Clement. Longer trips across mid-Cornwall are also possible.
