Your van and driver in Denmead
How it works, what it costs and who turns up.
01
What a van and driver is
A van, a driver, a fixed price – and no bidding.
A van and driver is the middle ground between hiring a van yourself and booking a removals firm.
02
Van and driver versus man and van
Same idea, better promise.
"Man and van" is what people search for; it usually means one person with their own van, quoted on the phone, paid in cash, and you hope they turn up.
03
What fits in each van
We measure in wheelie bins. One bin's worth is about eight bin bags.
Picture a wheelie bin. One bin's worth is a few boxes and bags. Two is a fridge or a washing machine with room to spare. Four is a room.
04
How the price works
Fixed prices, the same everywhere.
A move's price depends on how much is moving, not where you live. A wheelie bin's worth is £69 anywhere in England; a full load is £349 in Salisbury, Sheffield or Southend.
05
Who turns up
Checked, insured, rated – and paid properly.
Every driver is an independent partner who has shown us their licence, their hire-and-reward insurance, goods-in-transit and public liability cover, and their right to work, before they're offered a single job.
06
Lifting, stairs and awkward things
Two people when the job needs them, at no extra cost.
We decide from what you're moving: a sofa, a wardrobe, a fridge, or a medium load and up gets two people, and that's already in the price. There's nothing to choose and nothing extra to pay.
07
Booking, changing and cancelling
Two minutes to book. Change it yourself up to 48 hours before.
Book online for today (until 3pm; after that, tomorrow from 1pm) or any day up to about six months ahead, by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
08
Same day? Yes, until 3pm.
Today, if you book by 3pm.
Book before 3pm and you can pick today: the earliest one-hour arrival is the hour after next (book at 10:20 and it's 12 to 1), if a partner's free. After 3pm, the earliest is 1pm tomorrow.
About Denmead
Denmead at a glance
Denmead sits in the PO7 postcode area, a few miles short of Portsmouth and within easy reach of Waterlooville and Horndean, both just over two miles away. It's this position, tucked between the larger towns along the A3(M) corridor, that makes van and driver bookings here so useful for both local moves and trips further afield. Van & Driver offers a fixed-price marketplace for anyone needing a van with driver or a man with a van in Denmead, whether that's a single item collection, a full house removal, or a tip run to a licensed recycling centre. For those needing extra space during a move, Portsmouth's self-storage options are within a reasonable drive, and the university campuses there make this a sensible route for student removals too. Prices are fixed in advance, covering everything from a single item within Denmead itself to full van loads travelling out to Havant or Waterlooville, so there's no guesswork about what a move will cost before it starts. Whether you're delivering furniture, arranging a next-day van, or need a commercial courier for business deliveries, the booking is straightforward and the price agreed upfront. Denmead residents can book a van with driver here now, with moves carried out by local partner drivers covering the wider Hampshire area.
Denmead had 6,509 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from Purbrook Chase Shopping Precinct, The Boardwalk Shopping Centre and Park Parade and Greywell Precinct Shopping Centre is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Waterlooville Recycling Centre, 1.4 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
