No obligation. We only use your number to call about this quote.

Man and Van across Cambridge and Cambridgeshire

We start from £60 for the first hour in Cambridge, and the price you agree is the price you pay. Our crews cover Cambridgeshire seven days a week, and same-day or next-day bookings are normal rather than the exception.

Our Cambridge crews cover every CB postcode district, from Chesterton and Cherry Hinton to Trumpington, Newnham and Romsey. We're also in Arbury, Mill Road and Histon most weeks, and we travel out across the wider Cambridgeshire area for the same prices. Whether it's a terrace, a new-build estate, a tower block or a business unit, we've done man and van jobs there before.

An alternative to council collections

Bulky waste collections from Cambridge City Council can be a good option for one or two items, but they usually need everything left outside, can take weeks to book and won't take mixed loads. JunkSphere is the faster alternative: we carry items out from inside, take mixed loads in one visit, and can often come the same day.

How it works

Four steps from quote to cleared.

  1. Tell us what needs to go

    Fill in the quote form with your name, phone number, job type and preferred date. Photos help, but a rough description of your man and van job in Cambridge is enough to start.

  2. Get a fixed price

    We call you back with a clear price, usually within the hour during working times. Prices start from £60 and include labour, transport and disposal.

  3. We arrive and do the work

    A uniformed crew arrives in your chosen two-hour window, confirms the price, and gets on with it. We move your things, carrying everything from wherever it is.

  4. Responsible disposal

    Everything goes to licensed sites, with reusable items passed on and the rest recycled wherever possible. Ask for a waste transfer note if you need one.

Why choose JunkSphere in Cambridge

Fixed prices, agreed before we start

We don't do vague estimates. You get a clear price for man and van in Cambridge, starting at £60, with labour, loading, transport and disposal all included. Our crews confirm the price on arrival before they lift anything, and if the job turns out smaller than you thought, the price comes down. It's the same approach whether you're clearing one item or a whole property.

Same-day and next-day slots

Our vans run daily rounds across Cambridge, which means we can often fit you in the same day you call, and next-day slots are nearly always available. You choose a two-hour arrival window and the crew calls ahead so you're not stuck waiting in. Evening and weekend bookings are available for people who can't take time off work.

Licensed, insured and accountable

JunkSphere is a registered waste carrier, and every load we collect in Cambridge goes to licensed facilities regulated by the Environment Agency. We carry public liability insurance, and we provide waste transfer notes on request so you have proof your waste was disposed of legally. That matters, because if waste you hand over ends up fly-tipped, you can be held responsible.

Reuse and recycling before landfill

A lot of what gets thrown away still has a second life. Our crews set aside usable items for local charities and reuse schemes, and the rest is separated into recycling streams: metals, timber, cardboard, garden waste and WEEE electricals. Landfill is the last option, not the first, for every man and van job we do in Cambridge.

Crews who know Cambridge

Our teams work in Cambridge every week, so they know where the permit zones are, which streets are tight for a van and how to get a sofa down a narrow staircase without scraping the walls. They're polite, careful, uniformed, and they tidy up before they leave, sweeping the area where the waste was stored.

Man and Van in every part of Cambridge

No two Cambridge jobs are the same. A top-floor flat with no lift takes longer than a ground-floor garage, and some streets only allow loading at certain times. Mention anything unusual when you book, such as permit parking, narrow stairs or gated access, and we'll plan around it so your price stays fixed.

Licensed disposal in Cambridge

Everything we collect in Cambridge goes to licensed waste transfer and recycling sites. We're a registered waste carrier working under rules set by the Environment Agency, and we follow the duty-of-care requirements that apply to waste in England. If an unlicensed collector fly-tips your waste, Cambridge City Council can hold you responsible, so always check a carrier's registration before you book. You can ask us for ours at any time.

Man and Van in Cambridge: your questions answered

How is the price calculated?

Man and van jobs are charged by time from arrival to finish, starting at £60 for the first hour. For fixed moves like a studio or single item we can quote a set price instead.

Will the driver help carry items?

Yes. Every driver is also a porter. For heavy items, lots of stairs or tight timescales we recommend two people, which we'll suggest when you book.

Are my things insured?

Goods in transit and public liability cover come as standard. Tell us about high-value items in advance so we can pack and load them accordingly.

Can you dismantle and reassemble furniture?

Yes. Beds, wardrobes and flat-pack pieces can be taken apart and rebuilt at the new address. It adds a little time, which we include in the estimate.

Do you do long-distance moves?

We do. Moves between cities are priced as a fixed quote based on mileage and load size rather than by the hour.

Can you take away rubbish after the move?

Yes. We can take leftover junk to a licensed recycling site on the way back, charged by volume, so you don't need to book a separate service.

Do you cover all of Cambridge?

Yes. We cover every CB postcode district in Cambridge, including Chesterton, Cherry Hinton, Trumpington, Newnham and Romsey, plus the surrounding parts of Cambridgeshire. There's no extra charge for travelling within the area.

How quickly can you do man and van in Cambridge?

Same-day slots are often available in Cambridge if you book in the morning, and next-day slots almost always are. We give you a two-hour arrival window and call ahead.

Are you licensed to carry waste in Cambridge?

Yes. JunkSphere is a registered waste carrier and uses licensed sites regulated by the Environment Agency. We can provide a waste transfer note for any job.

Do you cover towns near Cambridge?

We do. Our crews regularly work in Ely, Stevenage, Bedford and the towns in between, as well as across Cambridgeshire. Use the quote form and we'll confirm availability for your postcode.
