Man with a Van Barnsley — Flat Moves, Collections and Single Items
A man with a van for Barnsley town and the villages around it: flats in the centre, terraces in Kendray, Monk Bretton and Lundwood, semis in Dodworth, Worsbrough and Athersley, and the Dearne Valley villages from Wombwell and Darfield to Goldthorpe and Thurnscoe, plus Hoyland, Cudworth, Royston and Penistone. Charlotte Leighton of CL Clearances drives over from Howden, about 45 minutes away, in a Luton with a tail lift. She does the lifting with you at both ends, and the travel is already counted in the price.

What can a man with a van do for you in Barnsley?
CL Clearances handles the moves and errands that are too big for a car and too small for a removals firm. In Barnsley that usually means:
- Flat and small house moves — a one-bed in the town centre, a two-up-two-down in Monk Bretton, a semi in Dodworth, with flat-pack dismantling and reassembly available as a priced extra
- Village to village — Hoyland to Wombwell, Cudworth to Royston, Penistone to the town, often in one load
- Moves out of the borough — Barnsley to Sheffield, Wakefield, Leeds, Doncaster, Huddersfield or Hull, fixed price with fuel included
- Marketplace, Gumtree and eBay pick-ups — a sofa, a dining set or a fridge-freezer collected from the seller and carried into the room you want
- Single heavy items — a wardrobe up a steep terrace staircase, a washing machine out of a cellar kitchen
- Small shop and office moves — desks, stock and fittings between premises
- Helping a relative downsize — moving the pieces they are keeping and taking the rest away on the same day (house clearance Barnsley)
Because CL Clearances is a licensed waste carrier, the old sofa or bed you are replacing can leave on the same van. A removals firm without a licence cannot do that.
What should you know about moving around Barnsley?
Barnsley is hilly, and that shapes most moves. A lot of the older housing is stone and brick terraces on slopes, with the door straight onto the pavement and cars parked nose to tail outside. The Luton fits, but it may have to stop further along the street, so it helps to tell Charlotte the exact address when you book. She checks the street beforehand and allows for the extra carry in the price. Where a cellar or a narrow, turning staircase is involved, a second person can be added.
The estates and the old pit villages are easier. Ex-Coal Board semis in Cudworth, Royston, Goldthorpe and Thurnscoe usually have a drive or a wide road outside, and newer housing around Hoyland and Dodworth is built with parking in mind. Penistone and the villages on the Pennine side are spread out, and their lanes can be narrow, which is worth mentioning at the quote stage.
Barnsley is at the edge of the area CL Clearances covers from Howden. Jobs are put together on set days, so a few days’ notice usually gets you a better price and an earlier date than asking for tomorrow.
How much does a man with a van cost in Barnsley in 2026?
A man with a van in Barnsley costs £45–£55 an hour once on site, with a two-hour minimum, or a fixed price for the whole job — whichever works out cheaper for you. The fixed prices below include the drive from Howden.
| Job | Typical time on site | Guide price |
|---|---|---|
| One item picked up or dropped off | An hour or less | £75 – £100 |
| One-bed flat within the borough | 2 – 4 hours | £170 – £265 |
| Two-bed house within the borough | 4 – 6 hours, one or two loads | £295 – £440 |
| Village to village (Hoyland, Wombwell, Cudworth, Royston) | 2 – 5 hours | £150 – £350 |
| Barnsley to Sheffield, Wakefield, Leeds or Doncaster (one-bed) | Half day | £230 – £350 |
| Hourly rate, one person | Two-hour minimum | £45 – £55 per hour |
A second person is £25 an hour on top, and is worth it for cellars, steep terraces and heavy furniture on upper floors. Taking away unwanted furniture on the same run is priced as a small add-on.

Man with a van Barnsley — common questions
How much is a man with a van in Barnsley?
In 2026 CL Clearances charges £75–£100 for a single item within the borough, £170–£265 for a one-bed flat move and £295–£440 for a two-bed house, including travel from Howden. On site the rate is £45–£55 an hour with a two-hour minimum. A second person is £25 an hour extra.
Do you cover Wombwell, Hoyland, Cudworth and Penistone?
Yes, along with Darfield, Elsecar, Royston, Goldthorpe, Thurnscoe, Bolton-upon-Dearne, Dodworth, Worsbrough, Monk Bretton, Lundwood, Kendray, Athersley and the town centre.
Can you move me from Barnsley to Sheffield or Leeds?
Yes. A one-bed move from Barnsley to Sheffield, Wakefield, Leeds or Doncaster is £230–£350 as a fixed price, fuel included. Bigger moves and longer distances are priced individually.
Will you pick up something I bought on Marketplace?
Yes. Send the seller’s postcode, yours and a photo of the item. Charlotte collects it, checks it matches the listing and carries it into the room you want. Within the borough it starts at £75.
Can you take my old furniture away at the same time?
Yes. CL Clearances is a licensed waste carrier, so the mattress, sofa or appliance you no longer want can go on the same van and be disposed of legally. It is added to the quote as a small extra.
Can you manage a steep terrace or a cellar?
Yes. Tell us the exact address and Charlotte checks where the van can stop before quoting. For cellars, tight stairs or very heavy items, a second person is added and the quote says so.
