Man and van in Cardiff
A man and van is the usual choice for flats, single rooms and short moves in Cardiff. Most drivers charge by the hour with a one or two hour minimum, so a small load can cost far less than a full removal. Tell companies about stairs and parking at both addresses, because that changes the time on the job.
