Man with a van in Sonning Common: what it costs
How it works round here.
Sonning Common, Oxfordshire • Man and Van
Sonning Common sits across the RG4 and RG9 postcode districts, a village split between two postcodes on the edge of the Chilterns, with Henley-on-Thames just 3.3 miles away and Caversham a little closer still at 2.9 miles.
Van & Driver covers the area for anyone shifting a sofa, a bed, a wardrobe or a run of boxes, whether that's a single item across the village or a full house move out towards Reading, Woodley or Twyford. Every booking includes one or two people to do the lifting, blankets and straps to keep furniture and door frames safe, and a fixed price agreed before the van sets off, so there's no meter running and no surprises when the job's done. Prices are set by route: a move within Sonning Common starts at £55 for a single item and £249 for a full van load, while a trip to Reading runs from £55 up to £249 for a full load, with Caversham and Henley-on-Thames priced in between. The service handles more than furniture, too — appliances, garden waste, DIY offcuts and general boxes all count, so it works equally well for a student move near the University of Reading's London Road campus or a clear-out ahead of a trip to a licensed recycling centre. You can book online now, choose your time, and get a van sorted for the day you need it, with the price fixed from the moment you confirm.

Do you do man with a van hire by the hour in Sonning Common?+

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.
