Local, friendly, reliable
About Man Van Gosforth
We're a Gosforth-based removals and man-and-van service built on a simple idea: turn up on time, take real care, and charge a fair, honest price. Here's our story.
A proper local removals service
Man Van Gosforth started the way a lot of good things do — helping friends and neighbours shift sofas, beds and boxes, and realising there was a real need for a removals service that was friendly, careful and didn't cost the earth. Too many people had stories of movers who turned up late, rushed the job, or quietly added charges at the end. We set out to be the opposite.
Today we're a trusted name across Gosforth and the wider Newcastle area, but we've kept that same local, personal feel. When you call us you'll talk to the people who'll actually be moving you, not a faceless call-centre. We know these streets, the Metro stops, the awkward back lanes and the parking quirks — and that local knowledge makes your move smoother.
What we stand for
Care above all
Your belongings carry memories as well as value. We wrap, pad and load everything as if it were our own, and we'd rather take an extra minute than risk a scratch.
Honest pricing
We quote a fixed price and we stick to it. No hidden extras, no fuel surcharges, no awkward conversations at the end of the day.
Reliability
When we say we'll be there at nine, we're there at nine. Your time matters, and a move that runs to plan is a move with far less stress.
Friendliness
Moving day is hard enough. A cheerful, easy-going team that does the heavy lifting and keeps things calm makes all the difference.
Properly equipped, every time
Our vans come fully kitted out with trolleys, straps, moving blankets and protective covers as standard — never an afterthought, never an extra charge. We wrap and pad your belongings and load methodically, so your possessions are protected from the moment they're loaded to the moment they're set down.
The kind of moves we do every week
No two jobs are the same, and that variety is part of what we love about the work. In a typical week we'll help a first-time buyer move into a terrace in South Gosforth, collect a sofa someone's bought on Marketplace over in Heaton, clear a flat at the end of a tenancy near the city centre, and run a long-distance move down the A1 for a family relocating for work. Big or small, planned or last-minute, each one gets the same attention.
We're also proud of the trickier jobs — the wardrobe that only just fits down the stairs, the awkward corner sofa that needs careful angling, the office move squeezed into a single weekend so the business doesn't lose a day's trading. Experience across thousands of moves means we've usually seen your situation before, and we know how to make it go smoothly.
Part of the Tyneside community
Being based in Gosforth isn't just an address for us — it's home. We move students into shared houses near the universities, families into their first homes in Kingston Park and Brunton Park, downsizers to bungalows on the coast, and businesses into new offices in the city centre. Every one of those moves matters to the people involved, and we treat them that way.
