Your van and driver in Flackwell Heath and Wooburn Green
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 Flackwell Heath and Wooburn Green
Flackwell Heath and Wooburn Green at a glance
Flackwell Heath and Wooburn Green sit within the HP10 postcode area, a pairing of villages half a mile from Knave's Beech Retail Park and within easy reach of Bourne End, just 1.7 miles away. Van & Driver is preparing to launch here, bringing together van with driver and man and van services for residents moving house, clearing furniture, or handling a tip run to a licensed recycling centre. Once live, the marketplace will let people in this part of Buckinghamshire book a van with a driver at a fixed price, with local partner drivers carrying out the work rather than a call centre miles away. High Wycombe, with its train station and the Eden Shopping Centre, lies only 2.5 miles off, while Beaconsfield and its own station are a similar distance in the other direction — useful reference points for anyone planning a move across this stretch of the Chilterns. The service will cover everything from single-item deliveries and furniture drops to full house removals, student moves in and out of term-time accommodation, and storage runs to facilities such as Big Yellow, which sits a short distance from the town centre. Commercial courier work and next-day van bookings are also part of the plan for when the marketplace goes live. For now, this page marks the start of that coverage, with details to follow on how local drivers will operate once bookings open for Flackwell Heath and Wooburn Green and the surrounding villages.
Flackwell Heath and Wooburn Green had 12,438 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from Knave's Beech Retail Park, Wycombe Retail Park and Eden Shopping Centre is a common single-item run.
