Storage moves in Shaftesbury: door to unit
How it works round here.
Shaftesbury, Dorset • Storage Moves
Shaftesbury's SP7 postcode sits on a hilltop above the Blackmore Vale, with the town's own recycling centre on Warminster Road less than a mile from the centre — handy to know if a storage clear-out leaves you with more than you bargained for.
Getting boxes, furniture or whole rooms in and out of a storage unit is rarely straightforward, especially with the nearest facility at SOS Storage some way out of town, so Van & Driver's Storage Moves service is built around exactly that job. A driver collects from your home or unit and drops off at the other end, with blankets and straps included and one or two people on hand to carry the heavier pieces. It works equally well for a single armchair or a full house-worth of furniture, and covers moves within Shaftesbury itself or out towards places like Gillingham, just over four miles away. Prices are fixed before you book, so there's no guessing what a half-van or full-van load will cost once you're at the storage gate. Whether you're moving into storage ahead of a house move, clearing a unit for good, or just shifting a few boxes between the two, you can book a van and driver through Van & Driver and let someone else handle the lifting and the loading.
