Chalford at a glance
Chalford spills down the Golden Valley on the GL6 side of Stroud, its steep lanes and old mill terraces sitting close enough to Stroud station, some three miles off, to make van access a real consideration rather than an afterthought. Van & Driver is coming soon to Chalford, bringing a straightforward way to book a van with a driver at a fixed price for the kind of moves this valley throws up: furniture squeezed down narrow terraced steps, tip runs, student moves timed around term dates, or a full house removal heading out towards Stroud, Nailsworth or further afield to Tetbury and Cirencester. Once live, the service will cover van hire with a driver, man-with-a-van work, house removals, furniture delivery, next-day van bookings, storage moves, student removals, marketplace delivery collections, and commercial courier runs, all quoted upfront rather than by the hour. Nearby recycling centres at Fosse Cross and Hempsted, along with the one on Swindon Road, mean tip runs from Chalford often involve a longer trip than the town's compact size suggests, which is exactly the sort of detail fixed pricing is meant to remove from the equation. When Chalford is live, residents and businesses in this GL6 corner of Gloucestershire will be able to arrange a van and driver without haggling over time on the road between the valley and Stroud, Nailsworth or Cirencester.
Chalford had 6,665 people at the 2021 Census. The council's nearest recycling centre is Hempsted Household Recycling Centre, 10.5 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
