Your van and driver in Southwater

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 Southwater

Southwater at a glance

Southwater sits in the RH13 postcode area of West Sussex, just a couple of miles from Horsham and close to Broadbridge Heath, with Billingshurst a short drive further on. Van & Driver is opening soon in Southwater, bringing together van with driver and man and van services for people moving house, clearing items or shifting furniture locally. Once live, the service will cover the usual range of moves: house removals, student moves, tip runs, furniture delivery and next-day van work, alongside storage moves and commercial courier runs for those needing something collected or dropped off quickly. Southwater's location means many trips are likely to be short hops, whether that's over to Horsham, out to Broadbridge Heath, or further along to Billingshurst, and fixed prices for these routes are already set out on this page so residents can see roughly what a move will involve before the marketplace goes live. The nearby Horsham recycling centre and the retail parks and storage sites clustered around Horsham suggest a fair amount of local back-and-forth traffic that a van and driver service could support, from tip runs to bulky deliveries. As soon as local partner drivers are confirmed to cover Southwater, this page will be updated so that residents can book directly, with the fixed-price structure already in place ready to use.

Southwater had 11,204 people at the 2021 Census. Furniture and flat-pack from Tanbridge Retail Park, Swan Walk and Broadbridge Retail Park is a common single-item run. The council's nearest recycling centre is Horsham (Hop Oast) Recycling Centre, 0.9 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
