Your van and driver in Richmond upon Thames

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.

Good to know.

About Richmond upon Thames

Richmond upon Thames at a glance

Covering postcode districts TW1, TW9, TW12, TW11, TW2 and TW10, day‑to‑day moves here often mean shuttling possessions between flats and houses across these areas, with quick hops to Strawberry Hill station 0.3 miles away when rail access is part of the plan. Students and researchers typically work to timetables pinned to St Mary's University, Twickenham at 0.3 miles and Kingston University Penrhyn Road Campus at 2.7 miles, so start‑ and end‑of‑term clearances, room swaps and small loads are common, alongside single items such as a sofa, a bed, a wardrobe or a washing machine. Access to care is supported by nearby facilities, with Teddington Memorial Hospital 0.6 miles, Cassel Hospital 1.4 miles and West Middlesex Hospital 2.7 miles, which often means careful collections, drop‑offs and family moves arranged around visiting hours. For storage runs, options include Big Yellow Self Storage 1.4 miles, Big Yellow 1.5 miles, Shurgard Self-Storage 1.8 miles and Currie easy Self Storage Isleworth 2.3 miles, making it straightforward to load units or empty them during refurbishments or while waiting for keys. Flat‑pack and furniture collected from Ivybridge Retail Park 1.8 miles, The Bentall Centre 2.2 miles and Treaty Centre 2.5 miles are frequent jobs, with packaging taken away or set aside for reuse. Tip runs of old furniture, garden waste and clutter head to Villiers Road Household Reuse and Recycling Centre 3.1 miles from the centre, which helps when clearing sheds, garages and lofts before a move. Alongside flat moves within the town itself, we handle house and flat moves to and from the towns nearby, coordinating storage drops, retail park pick‑ups and student schedules so everything arrives in the right order. If you are reorganising rooms across TW1 to TW10, downsizing, or filling a storage unit for a few weeks, we plan the load so each stop in Richmond upon Thames is efficient and nothing is left behind.

Richmond upon Thames had 192,888 people at the 2021 Census. The nearest hospital is Teddington Memorial Hospital, 0.6 miles away. Furniture and flat-pack from Ivybridge Retail Park, The Bentall Centre and Treaty Centre is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Villiers Road Household Reuse and Recycling Centre, 3.1 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
