Accessibility statement for Mikes Man and Van services

Mikes Man and Van accessibility commitment

Company accessibility overview banner for Mikes Man and Van Mikes Man and Van is committed to making our services and online information accessible to as many people as possible, including those in the accessible Mikes Man and Van area. This accessibility statement explains our approach, outlines standards we follow and describes available features. We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 AA compliance and to provide an inclusive experience for customers, carers and partners.

We design for assistive technologies and support common screen readers and keyboard navigation across our pages and booking flows. Our team tests for compatibility with popular screen readers and ensures that interactive controls are reachable via keyboard-only operation. Where appropriate, we use semantic HTML, ARIA attributes and clear focus indicators so people using keyboard navigation or screen-reader support can interact reliably with our content.

A smiling woman with short, light brown hair, wearing a blue denim shirt, holds a clear plastic storage box filled with household shoes, standing outdoors in a residential area. In front of her, two young girls with shoulder-length hair, one with brown and the other with blond hair, sit on a stack of cardboard boxes labeled for household items such as bathroom accessories and books, ready for a house move. The children are dressed in casual clothing, with the girl on the left in a light blue top and the girl in the middle in a light pink top. Behind them, a man wearing a red cap and red shirt is seen carrying a box towards a modern house with a front porch and large windows, suggesting a family home setting in a suburban neighbourhood. The scene is well-lit by natural daylight, and the outdoor environment includes a grassy front yard, indicative of residential property on a typical UK street, with visible cardboard boxes prepared for a house removal from the local area, possibly within the vicinity of nearby towns or postcode regions within the UK. We recognise that people access information in different ways throughout the Mikes Man & Van service area. Our web content strives to use clear language, consistent headings, and meaningful link text. We provide sufficient color contrast and avoid conveying information by color alone. Alternative text is provided for images where it contributes to understanding; decorative images are marked to be ignored by assistive technology.

The image depicts two young women engaged in a house removal process inside a residential living room, with a young girl lying on a grey upholstered sofa in the foreground. The woman on the left wears a red top and blue jeans, holding a large cardboard box with the label 'Fragile' visible on one side, and she is surrounded by several stacked cardboard boxes of various sizes, some sealed with packing tape. The woman on the right wears a red and white striped sleeveless top, carrying a smaller box with tape securing its edges, positioned slightly behind the first woman. In the background, the living room features white walls with natural light filtering through, illuminating the scene. The cardboard boxes contain household items typical of a relocation, such as books, small appliances, or personal belongings, although their contents are not visible. The young girl reclining on the sofa has shoulder-length light brown hair and is dressed in a white T-shirt and blue jeans, with her head resting on her hand, appearing contemplative or bored. This scene takes place indoors, likely within a home in the vicinity of London, as suggested by the local context, illustrating the process of house removals as undertaken by Mikes Man and Van, a professional removals service in the UK. We test against WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria and periodically review pages and features. Automated tools help identify issues and manual checks ensure keyboard focus order, form labels and live region announcements work as intended. Where dynamic updates occur, we apply appropriate ARIA roles and properties so screen readers receive timely information. We also assess compatibility with common browser zoom levels and text resizing without loss of content or functionality.

How we meet accessibility standards

Key measures we implement include:

  • Standards: Targeting WCAG 2.1 AA compliance across core user journeys.
  • Screen-reader support: Semantic structure, ARIA where needed, and meaningful alt text to aid spoken navigation.
  • Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements are operable by keyboard and include visible focus styles.
  • Perceivable content: Text alternatives for non-text content, captions for video where required, and adequate color contrast.
  • Robustness: Use of standard HTML and progressive enhancement so content remains available across assistive technologies.

A professional house removals scenario inside a bright, modern home with white walls and ceiling. A woman with shoulder-length brown hair, wearing a red and white striped long-sleeve sweater and blue jeans, is extending her right hand for a handshake while smiling at a man. The man, with short grey hair, dressed in a light blue shirt and dark blue vest, is smiling back and holding a cardboard box in his left arm. Behind the woman, there are additional cardboard boxes, some stacked, on a white sofa or table, indicating a move or packing process. The background shows a staircase leading to an upper floor and a window with a view of greenery outside, suggesting a residential location in or near a town like Luton, with natural daylight illuminating the scene. This image depicts a friendly exchange between a customer and a removals professional, highlighting the services of Mikes Man and Van, a local moving company serving households in the area, involved in packing and relocation tasks. We conduct regular audits and involve users with accessibility needs in testing cycles to help prioritise improvements. Our accessibility work covers the whole region served by Mikes Van and Man operations, focusing on online booking, help information and service notices so everyone in the area can plan their move with confidence.
