Your van and driver in Lightwater
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 Lightwater
Lightwater at a glance
Lightwater sits in the GU18 postcode district, just over a mile from Bagshot and less than three miles from Camberley, and it's this compact patch of west Surrey that Van & Driver now covers with a van and driver booked at a fixed price. Whether you're clearing a flat, moving house or need a next-day tip run, you can book a van with driver, or a man and van for smaller moves, and know the cost before the van arrives. Local partner drivers handle the work, taking on everything from full house removals and student moves to single-item furniture delivery and storage runs to nearby self-storage sites. Bagshot Community Recycling Centre is close by on Swift Lane for tip trips, and with Camberley, West End and Chobham, Frimley and Ascot all within a short drive, journeys between Lightwater and its neighbours are priced as fixed trips rather than left to guesswork. That matters in a town of this size, where removals often mean short hops to surrounding villages and commuter towns rather than long cross-county moves. Whether you're a Lightwater household shifting a few boxes to Bagshot or a business needing a reliable courier run into Camberley, the booking works the same way: pick your service, get your price, and let a local driver get on with it. Furniture delivery, marketplace collections and commercial courier work are all covered alongside the standard house removal and man-with-a-van moves that make up most requests here.
Lightwater had 6,539 people at the 2021 Census. The council's nearest recycling centre is Bagshot Community Recycling Centre, 0.8 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
