Is a man with a van in Guildford cheaper than van hire?

For most small moves it works out similar or cheaper once you count fuel, insurance and your own time — and the driver does the lifting with you.

What size van do you use?

Most bookings use a Luton van, which fits roughly a studio or one-bed flat. Smaller jobs may get a medium van.

Can you handle Guildford’s hills and narrow streets?

Yes — tell us your street and we’ll choose the right van size and plan the loading point.

Moving in Guildford — local notes

Victorian and Edwardian houses, large detached homes in the surrounding villages, student houses and town-centre flats.

Guildford town centre is hilly with a one-way system and frequent congestion. Some period streets are narrow, so a smaller van can be better.
