Man and Van in Colchester, from £60. We'll call you back with a fixed price.
Man and Van across Colchester and Essex
Prices for man and van in Colchester start from £60 for the first hour, and every quote is fixed before we start. Crews work seven days a week across Essex, with same-day slots most days and evening appointments on request.
We work right across Colchester, including Lexden, Mile End, Greenstead and Wivenhoe, as well as Highwoods, Stanway, Old Heath and Prettygate. All CO1 to CO4 postcodes are covered, and so are the surrounding parts of Essex. Flats, family homes, rentals, shops and offices all get the same crews and the same fixed prices.
An alternative to council collections
Bulky waste collections from Colchester 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.
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 Colchester is enough to start.
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.
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.
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 Colchester
Fixed prices, agreed before we start
We don't do vague estimates. You get a clear price for man and van in Colchester, 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
Because we already have crews working across Colchester most days, short-notice jobs are routine for us. Book in the morning and there's a good chance we'll be with you that afternoon. Otherwise we'll offer the next available slot, give you a two-hour arrival window and ring when we're on the way.
Licensed, insured and accountable
Handing waste to an unlicensed collector is a risk: if it's dumped, the fine can come back to you. We're a registered waste carrier working within the rules set by the Environment Agency, we hold public liability insurance, and every job can come with paperwork showing exactly where your waste went. Ask to see our licence at any time.
Reuse and recycling before landfill
We sort what we collect rather than tipping it all in one place. Usable furniture and household goods are offered to charities and reuse projects around Colchester, then metal, wood, cardboard, green waste and electricals are separated at licensed recycling sites. Only what genuinely can't be reused or recycled goes for disposal.
Crews who know Colchester
Local knowledge saves time and money. The crews covering Colchester know the parking restrictions, the awkward access points and the nearest licensed sites, which keeps jobs quick and prices low. They'll protect floors and doorframes, work carefully around your home and leave the space swept and clear.
Man and Van in every part of Colchester
No two Colchester 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 Colchester
Everything we collect in Colchester 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, Colchester 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 Colchester: 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 Colchester?
Yes. We cover every CO1 to CO4 postcode district in Colchester, including Lexden, Mile End, Greenstead, Wivenhoe and Highwoods, plus the surrounding parts of Essex. There's no extra charge for travelling within the area.
How quickly can you do man and van in Colchester?
Same-day slots are often available in Colchester 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 Colchester?
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 Colchester?
We do. Our crews regularly work in Ipswich, Chelmsford, Southend-on-Sea and the towns in between, as well as across Essex. Use the quote form and we'll confirm availability for your postcode.
