We used Pete for the removal of a very heavy Technics Organ . We found him to be extremely profesional in every way, not only friendly & on time, nothing was too much trouble. We will deffinitely use Pete again,should we need his services and also be more than happy to recommend to others.

Pete moved all of my furniture from Chelmsford to Braintree at the end of November. He provided a fantastic service and made the whole process stress free and easy! As I had a lot of heavy furniture to shift, I paid a little extra for another man and they were both efficient and very quick in getting everything moved. I could not have wished for a better service and will be using Pete again at the beginning of January. Highly recommended.

Pete – thank you so much for your help last week. After speaking to you on the phone I didn’t even bother getting any other quotes because I could tell you were professional and reasonably priced – and I was right. Excellent communication prior to the job and an excellent service on the day! You took the stress out of a potentially very difficult day for me! Thanks so much and we’ll definitely use you again.

Pete was recommended to me by a work colleague to help take 56 very heavy boxes of files into storage. I would definitely recommend Pete for his professional and friendly attitude.

I recently changed job and re-located from Essex to Suffolk. The ONLY thing that went without a hitch was the removal. Pete was brilliant, providing a quick, efficient and friendly service. His professionalism meant that I had a hassle free experience with no breakages and no damage…not even a scratch! Cheers Pete, keep up the great work. Stuart R.

We used Pete to move various pieces of furniture and boxes from Essex onto 2 different addresses in London with drop offs and collections.
Pete was excellent punctual and super professional and made what I thought would be a difficult job very easy.

Totally recommended!

Great stuff, other quotes were extortionate and Pete was helpful, easy going and an expert at getting your stuff to fit in a van. Turned up on the dot and helped turn a stressful day into less of an ordeal.
Would recommend without hesitation (move was the other side of London)

Pete Wade,[aka Essex Man With a Van] is definitely the man to rely on if you have anything that needs picking up and delivering, either locally or across the Country. I needed an item picking up from the south east and he delivered it to me without any problems, here in North Manchester; Friendly, reasonable , professional and really obliging, I would happily avail myself of his delivery service again, for my business. Needless to say I highly recommend him!
Thanks again Pete!!

I had arranged for an Ebay purchase of conservatory furniture to be collected and delivered using another company. The van driver hadn’t looked at the photographs and dimensions properly and couldn’t fit the furniture in the van. I had to find someone to do the job quickly and Pete did it very well. The furniture arrived and Pete even helped us to get it inside. I would recommend Pete to anyone who wants a pleasant professional service and someone who goes that extra mile. I will be using Pete’s service for any removals in the future.

I asked Pete to help me move from London to Colchester in early August 2011. His professionalism was second to none. He arrived on time, loaded the van and drove everything, incuding myself, to Colchester. He made a wonderful experience out of a slightfully stressful situation. Moving homes is never easy, but his calming demeanour, reliability and chatty character were very helpful and utterly exceptional on the day. I was extremely happy with his services. He is a great bloke and I wish him nothing but the best for him and his company, which I am sure will go from strength to strength. Thank you.

Purchased a really large and heavy sofa, found Pete on internet, to collect for me, could not beleive how cheap he was for a 40 mile round trip! Problem was, i hadn’t measured before buying! turned out 2″ wider than the height of my door, and hardly any room to tilt. Thankfully, he did not leave me in the lurch!, he sorted it out, left to me, i think i would have had to leave it in the shed and re-sell, great bloke, friendly, down to earth and could not have been more helpful, and i will not be using anyone else, if you need something shifted, look no further, you will not be dissapointed, 100% recommended to all, cheers Pete, i will be passing your info on, whenever anyone wants help, and i will certainly be in touch the next time i purchase, A+++++

Hi all,
Used Pete and his mate to move our furniture office to 2 new locations about 15 miles apart. Even though Pete thought he could do it in 2 runs he had to do an extra run which he just agreed to on the spot without a second thought. Would definitely use him again or recommend him to my clients or friends.

110% service!
We were extremely impressed by Pete’s service as he helped me with a house move from Chelmsford to Suffolk. On the morning of the move, Pete turned up dead on time, despite blistering snow weather conditions that had set in overnight. Straight away he got to work, with a helper he had organised at my request, and began lifting heavy furniture over the icy roads to his van. He did he stop till everything was in the van. I then gave him my address to which he delivered my furniture to safely and in good time.
I cant imagin a lot of people would have turned up in those weather conditions but you did Pete – so thank you ever so much. I would be very happy to recommend you to any of my friends.

Pete collected a sofa purchased on e.bay and delivered it to my address in Brentwood. He was bang on time and whilst the sofa was very heavy, he didn’t complain or make a drama out of it, just got on with the job. I was very grateful. Pete’s prices are very competitive especially as I was quoted twice as much from another source for the same job! I feel Pete’s service is excellent. Thanks again and I would definitely recommend.

Man with a Van (Pete) picked up a rather large wardrobe for me on Saturday the 10th, not only did he take the roof off his van to accommodate it but he had to take it apart and rebuild it in the bedroom as it would not go down my hall! He is amazing. Nothing was too much trouble, he even removed a spider from my lounge and helped me take the hard top off my car. All with a smile. I would NOT use anyone else. Thank you so much Pete
