Man with a van in Gillingham: what it costs
How it works round here.
Gillingham, Dorset • Man and Van
Gillingham’s SP8 postcode area sits just a few minutes from its own railway station, less than half a mile from the town centre, making it an easy base for local moves across north Dorset.
Whether you’re clearing a house near the station or shifting furniture out to Shaftesbury, around four miles away, Man with a Van can help with the heavy lifting. The service covers everything from single items to full van loads: sofas, beds and wardrobes, appliances, boxes and bags, and garden or DIY items that need shifting from one place to another. Every job includes one or two people to do the loading and unloading, plus blankets and straps to keep things secure on the road, all for a fixed price agreed before you book.
Gillingham is well placed for moves further afield too, with Wincanton and Sherborne both within easy reach, and Warminster and Blandford Forum not much further. Whether you’re moving across town, dropping off unwanted items at a licensed recycling centre, or taking a few boxes to storage, the same simple approach applies: tell us what needs moving and where it’s going, and we’ll match you with a suitable van and driver at a price fixed in advance. You can book a Man with a Van service for Gillingham and the surrounding area now, with no need to work out sizes or costs yourself.

How much is a man and van in Gillingham?+
A man and a van for one item within Gillingham is £55, a small load £69, a medium load £139 and a full load £349. Fixed when you book.
Do you do man with a van hire by the hour in Gillingham?+
No. We price by the job, not the hour: by how much there is and the miles, fixed when you book, so it doesn’t go up if loading takes longer. Within Gillingham that’s £55 for one item and £69 for a small load.
Does a man and van include help carrying?+
Yes. The driver loads and unloads with you. For heavy or bulky items such as sofas, wardrobes and fridge freezers, choose two people when you book.

Will two people come?+
When the job needs them (a sofa, a wardrobe, a fridge, or a medium load and up) two people come, and that's already in the price. We decide it from what you're moving; there's nothing to choose or pay extra for.
Is the price fixed?+
Yes. You see the whole price before you book and that's what you pay: no hourly rate, and nothing added on the day for stairs, waiting or a heavy sofa, unless what you're moving changes.
People ask
What people in Gillingham type into Google, answered.
Can you dismantle a bed in Gillingham?+
Taking furniture apart isn't something we price for. Put it in the dismantling notes on your booking page (say the wardrobe needs Allen keys, or the bed's already down) so the driver comes ready. Ask us on WhatsApp.
Do you bring blankets and straps?+
Yes, on every job, at no extra cost. Your things are strapped in before the van moves.
Can you move just one thing in Gillingham?+
Yes. A single item within Gillingham is from £55, an armchair or a washing machine, say; a sofa on its own is a little more, by size.
Do you go outside Gillingham?+
Yes, anywhere in England; the price includes the miles. A single item from Gillingham to Shaftesbury starts at £55.
Can I give the driver a gate code or directions?+
Yes. Add them to the access notes on your booking page. Only your driver sees them, on the day.
Can I book a man and van for tomorrow in Gillingham?+
Yes, if a partner's free: you can book today until 3pm or any day after, and the days you can pick are the days someone can do it.
