Man with a van in Guildford: what it costs

How it works round here.

Guildford, Surrey • Man and Van

Guildford's terraces around GU1 and GU2 often back onto tight courtyards, and with permit parking covering much of the centre, a move here usually means working out where a van can actually stop before you think about what's going into it.

Van & Driver's Man with a Van service takes that off your hands: one or two people arrive with blankets and straps, load everything from sofas and wardrobes to garden waste and boxes, and get it where it needs to go for a fixed price agreed before you book. It works equally well for a flat near the University of Surrey's Stag Hill campus, a house move out towards Woking or Godalming, or a single appliance drop at Ladymead Retail Park. Students clearing university halls, families shifting between the terraces near the town centre, and anyone emptying a storage unit at Big Yellow or Safestore all use the same simple booking, with the price fixed whether the job is a single item or a full van load. Guildford's mix of narrow streets, permit zones and hillside routes towards Royal Surrey County Hospital or Farnham Road can make DIY van hire more hassle than it's worth, which is exactly the gap this service is built to fill. You book online, agree the price, and let the driver worry about the parking.

Questions people ask in Guildford

Do you cover Farncombe, Woking and Godalming too?+

Yes. Prices from Guildford to Farncombe (3.8 miles) start at £55; every nearby town has its own page with local prices.

How much is a man and van in Guildford?+

A man and a van for one item within Guildford 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 Guildford?+

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 Guildford 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.

Do you do tip runs in Guildford?+

Yes: single items from £70, loads from £99 (Mini) to £519 (full load), and house clearances from £599. Disposal at a licensed recycling centre is included, with a waste transfer note, and there's no charge for the distance.

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 Guildford type into Google, answered.

Can you dismantle a bed in Guildford?+

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 Guildford?+

Yes. A single item within Guildford 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 Guildford?+

Yes, anywhere in England; the price includes the miles. A single item from Guildford to Farncombe 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 Guildford?+

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.
