WHAT MAN AND VAN COVERS
The Types of Jobs This Service Handles
This service handles jobs that are too big for a hatchback and too small to justify a full removal team. It covers a wide range of common Perth moving situations.
Single Item Pickups and Deliveries
A couch, a bed frame, a dining table from Facebook Marketplace or a retailer that does not deliver. We pick up, transport, and place the item at the destination. Every piece goes on the truck wrapped in moving blankets regardless of how short the trip is.
Studio and Small Flat Moves
If everything fits in one load and the access at both ends is straightforward, man and van is the right call. Studio apartments, one-bedroom flats, student moves at the start or end of the university semester. A typical job finishes in two to three hours.
Appliances and Whitegoods
Fridges, washing machines, dryers, and large appliances handled as part of the service. We check doorway clearance before moving day where needed.
Labour Hire Only
If you have your own hire van or access to a truck, we provide the crew to load and unload. Call us with the vehicle size and what you are moving and we will confirm whether it works.
MAN AND VAN VS FULL REMOVALIST SERVICE
When to Choose Man and Van, When to Upgrade
Man and van works well when the volume is genuinely small and access at both ends is straightforward. A common situation: a customer books man and van for a small flat and on the day there are forty boxes, a large corner sofa that needs two people to angle through the doorframe, and a washing machine at the top of a narrow stairwell. We catch this at the quote call, not on moving day. If you call us and describe your move, we will tell you honestly which service fits.
- Choose man and van when: you are moving a studio or one-bedroom flat, a single heavy item, or a small load that fits in one truck without complex access.
- Upgrade to full removals when: you are moving more than a one-bedroom flat's worth of furniture and boxes, or access involves multiple flights of stairs, or you have heavy specialty items needing dedicated equipment.

LABOUR HIRE
Just Need the Labour? We Can Do That Too
If you have access to your own vehicle or a hire van, we provide the crew to load and unload it. This is useful when you have already sorted transport but need experienced hands for the heavy lifting. Common for end-of-lease situations, office furniture shifts, or marketplace furniture pickups where delivery is sorted separately.
- Call us with the vehicle size and what you are moving.
- We confirm whether our crew can work safely with the vehicle you have.
- Same hourly rate applies. Minimum two hours.
- Available across all Perth metro suburbs.
WHY US
Why Perth Locals Choose Awesome Mate for Small Moves
Based in Tuart Hill, Fast Response
Our Tuart Hill base puts us within a short drive of most northern suburbs jobs. Same-week and sometimes same-day bookings are available for smaller man and van jobs. We do not dispatch from across the city.
Fully Insured on Every Job
Public Liability and Goods in Transit insurance on every move, including man and van jobs. A single-item pickup is treated with the same care as a full house move.
Honest About Job Size
If you describe your move and it sounds like it needs a full crew rather than man and van, we tell you before the truck shows up. We would rather lose a smaller booking than have you stuck on moving day with the wrong service.
Fixed Rate, No Surprises
The rate is confirmed before we arrive. If something at the property changes the time estimate, we tell you before the clock changes. No bill shock at the end of the job.
HOW TO BOOK

Three steps from your first call to your items placed at the destination.
Call or Fill in the Form
Give us the pickup and drop-off addresses, a list of what you are moving, and your preferred date. We confirm whether man and van is the right fit or whether you need a larger crew, and give you a rate before you commit. No deposit required to book.
We Confirm the Job
We lock in the crew size, truck, and arrival time. Minimum two hours booked. If access at either end needs planning, we sort that before the day.
We Show Up and Get It Done
Crew arrives at the agreed time with blankets and straps. Items are wrapped, loaded, transported, and placed. If the job finishes under the minimum, you pay the minimum. If it runs longer, we tell you before the clock changes.
