Max provides the perfect removal service with no fuss. Exactly what I needed and at short notice too, with the added bonus of the very affable max to help carry larger items. I'd recommend him to anyone. My Uni days are long past so no student discount for me but it was still a very reasonable price. Max, if you ever float the company, count me in! 😃
Marco, Facebook
Great service at a very short notice, reasonably priced as well!
Graciela, Facebook
I really recommend Max for moving service! As a student, I didn't have many stuffs or furniture to move, but I still need a car. Booking taxi is not reliable especially during peak time as they think we have a lot of stuffs (and man to help) to move. But Max is very responsive when I called him. It was very easy to make appointment with him. He's very nice as well, really made my moving stress free. Thank you Max for your help! I would totally call you again if I need to move, and I will recommend your service to my friends :))
Prili, Facebook
Max was recommended to me by a friend, he helped me several times when I had to move out. Definitely the one to call if you're looking for affordable and fast removal services. Max is super friendly and professional.

Max's service is ideal for anybody who is in need of a move, but in particular for students who generally find themselves needing to handle things on their own. Helpful, friendly, easy to contact and cheap, I definitely recommend him for everyone.

Jana, Facebook
Max helped us move a very heavy gas cooker from my boyfriend's mum's basement kitchen, and into our tiny house in Hollingdean. There were some tight corners, but Max was brilliant (and not a single mark on any of the walls!).
Sarah, Facebook
Used Max twice to help with our move. The first time was to just move the large items. We managed to get alot more into his van than I expected. Max had utter faith everything would fit and he was right. His relaxed nature made the move less arduous than expected. The second was when we had to have a window removed to get the sofa out. Timing was important, Max turned up on time, again relieving alot of the stress that goes with a move. I would cerainly recommend Max and will definately use him in the future. Superb value for money.
Clive, Facebook
Max helped us pick up a washing machine and sofa the other day & I have to say he was fab- punctual, reliable, friendly, hardworking. Thanks for all your support Max, will definitely be calling you again soon! 🙂

Van With A Man
Hands-down the friendliest, most efficient and BEST VALUE man-with-a-van service in central Brighton. Students: don't bother looking elsewhere!
Max has a decade of experience getting his fellow Brightonians safely & efficiently moved around the city, with the minimum of fuss - and always with a smile.
The van is ideal for individuals, students and bands with a decent quantity of boxes, bags, instruments etc, but who are not moving a lot of bulky furniture for which a full-size removals van might be needed.
Nobody needs an expensive oversized removals van with a 2 hour minimum booking time, when all they're moving is a sofa or a few boxes. Silver Bullet to the rescue! Our prices start at just £15 for a rapid 15 minute job in central Brighton when you show our flyer, while a 30 minute job in the centre is only £30 and a typical 1 hour job across the city is just £55.
With dozens of rave reviews on social media, you can be confident of an efficient, friendly and exceptional value service.
NOTE: This service is for Brighton & Hove only, and may not be suitable for larger house moves. However if you're moving across town and don't need a full-size removals van, just drop us a line via the contact form - and save yourself ££££s! Further terms apply.
The New Van
Dusty arrived with us at the start of September 2020, after a protracted search throughout the summer for a worthy successor to the original Silver Bullet.
Suffering from a number of issues, having been overworked and underloved by previous owners, this silver beauty presented several challenges at the outset. But after painstaking work she was made shipshape for her new role around town, and she has since proven her worthiness many times over.
Once again a huge THANK YOU! to the crowdfund contributors who helped make Dusty possible. Your donations remain fully redeemable at any future booking with us.
The Original Silver Bullet
No longer manufactured in the UK since 2002, and often described as a 'Tardis', the Mazda E2200 was a slimline yet deceptively spacious multi-purpose van. It used the now ultra-rare "Cab Over Engine" layout that gave it an exceptionally lengthy cargo area, making it both a perfect camper/leisure vehicle and a superb compact removals van. Its unusual interior length allowed it to swallow up enormous sofas and wardrobes even though it was only about the same total length as a standard VW Transporter.
The original Silver Bullet was a rare near-pristine example of this much sought after vehicle, and it would happily navigate the narrow streets of Brighton with exceptional grace and style.
It was a much loved family member for 12 happy years, and is sorely missed 😢
Appeal for information
Make/model: Mazda E2200, silver
Registration: W307 SKJ
VIN: JMZSR1J32Y0101661
Reported stolen: 2nd June 2020
Police crime ref: 47200105438
The van was stolen during the 1-4 days prior to the theft being noticed and reported. These vehicles are very rare and highly sought out for export. The number plate has probably been changed, the van might have been resprayed, and it van may not even be in the UK any more.
However anyone with information that might bring some justice and closure for this sad loss should please contact Sussex Police quoting the crime reference above.
Thank you 🙏

Terms & Conditions
- Cancellations and amendments:
a) FREE as long as we receive and acknowledge the change at least SIX HOURS before the booking is scheduled to start.
b) £10 minimum* for hire vans if it's less than 6 hours before the job starts, but BEFORE travel to the job has commenced.
c) minimum booking cost inc. callout fee after travel to the job has commenced.
*Hire vans are pre-booked specifically for each job and cannot be unbooked or changed this close to the booking. £10 is the minimum but if the van has been pre-booked for more than an hour the cost will be higher.
REMEMBER If your need or availability for the booking is in ANY doubt please make sure we know about it the day before to avoid any fees, or at least BEFORE we've started the drive to avoid paying the full minimum booking cost. - Facebook Marketplace Purchases: Due to the high frequency of last-minute cancellations for collections of items from Facebook Marketplace, you may be asked to pay a deposit to confirm your booking. This will be refunded in full if we receive and confirm a cancellation at least six hours before the booking is scheduled to start, otherwise it will be deducted from your final payment after your booking is completed, or in the event that a cancellation fee needs to be charged.
- Passenger disclaimer. Not a taxi service, service is for the transport of goods, not people. Passenger spaces are not guaranteed, nor included in the cost. Usually 1 or 2 passengers may by driver invitation ride with the driver, strictly as non-paying guests with no liability accepted, but customers may sometimes need to make alternate personal transport arrangements depending on seat availability.
- No waste disposal. No trips to the household recycling centre, sorry, it's not worth the £5,000 fine (bizarrely it counts as commercial waste even though you're allowed to hire a taxi to do it!) Likewise we cannot deliver unwanted items to communal street bins. However taking things to charity shops, Shabitat etc is of course fine.
- Credit unavailable. When your booking is complete you'll be sent an e-invoice by SMS or WhatsApp. If using cash or cards, immediate in-person payment is required. Please obtain sufficient cash in advance if that is your preferred method. A job is only finished when we are able to leave. Keeping us waiting around for cash etc will affect the price as the extra time taken is chargeable. If using electronic means, same-day payment is required. A late electronic payment might incur further charges, and action will be taken if necessary, but fortunately our customers love us and would never dream of making us chase them for payment :)

- ..same goes for coffee makers etc.
- Heavier appliances (~40kg+) are street-level collection/delivery ONLY.
- Space efficiency. Please ensure all furniture is flat-packed as much as possible prior to our arrival, so that it can be readily removed from the collection address and efficiently packed in the van. Although we will always do our best we cannot guarantee we will have the tools or the time to assist with this. Always dismantle clothes rails, desks, bed frames etc to the maximum extent possible. Swivel chairs can be carried whole but set them in their lowest position to minimise their size.
- Furniture suitability. Customers are responsible for checking that furniture will fit in their new place before making their booking. No liability is accepted for items that the customer leaves outside after delivery having failed to get them into their intended destination.
