Understanding Van Sizes for Your Move
The right van depends on how much you need to transport. If you’re only moving a few items or relocating from a small flat, a smaller van will usually cover it. These are ideal for short moves around Enfield or when you’re shifting a few key pieces of furniture or boxes.
Moving from a one- or two-bedroom flat? A medium-sized van is often the best choice. It has enough room for appliances, furniture, and packed boxes without feeling oversized, making it suitable for local or slightly longer moves.
If your property has two or three bedrooms, or you’re moving office equipment, a large van will be far more suitable. With the extra space to handle multiple bulky items in one trip, it keeps things efficient and manageable.
For bigger relocations, such as a full family home or when you need to move large furniture, an extra-large van offers maximum loading capacity. It’s built to handle heavier loads, saving you time and reducing the need for repeat journeys.

Why Selecting the Right Van Size Is Important
Getting the van size right can save you both time and money. Too small, and you’ll be making multiple trips. Too large, and you’re paying for space you don’t use. The right fit means your belongings are moved in a single journey, with everything secured and spaced properly to prevent damage in transit. That makes for a smoother, more cost-effective move—every time.
How to Choose the Perfect Van for Your Needs
Start by listing everything you plan to move. Break it down into boxes, furniture, and appliances, then estimate the amount of space they’ll take up. Measure any large items like sofas or wardrobes to check they’ll fit comfortably. Also account for packing materials—things like blankets, bubble wrap, or protective covers can take up more space than you’d expect. When in doubt, it’s always better to go slightly larger than risk running out of room.
Still not sure? The experienced team at manandvan-enfield.co.uk is happy to help. Just let us know what you’re moving and when, and we’ll suggest the van that’s right for your move. No hard sell, just honest, useful advice.
Packing and Moving Tips for a Successful Day
Once your van is sorted, it’s time to plan the packing. Label your boxes clearly—this helps when unloading and unpacking later. Protect delicate items using soft materials like towels or cushions. Make a separate bag or box for essentials (like tea, chargers, or toiletries) so they’re easy to find when you arrive. The more organised you are before the van arrives, the smoother everything will go.
