How much does man and van cost in Ely?
There is no single price. Each driver quotes for your own job, and the price usually depends on the distance, how much there is to move, the number of people needed, the stairs or lifts at each end, and the day you pick. Posting a job is the quickest way to see real quotes for Ely.
- Distance between the two addresses
- Volume and weight of what you are moving

- Stairs, lifts and where the van can park
- Day and time of the move
Moving around Ely: the homes
In the 2021 Census the most common home type in the East Cambridgeshire council area was detached houses (42.0% of households), so drivers there are used to that kind of access. Tell them about stairs, narrow hallways and parking so they can plan the job.

Across the East Cambridgeshire council area, 68.0% of households are owner-occupied, 16.5% are privately rented and 14.0% are socially rented (Census 2021). 12.0% of households have no car or van, which is worth knowing when you plan where the van will stop.
