Your van and driver in Wool

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 Wool

Wool at a glance

Wool's own railway station sits about a mile from the centre, with Moreton's stop a little further out at 3.2 miles, so anyone moving house here often has to think about train times as well as road routes. This BH20 postcode area, tucked between Wareham some 5.6 miles away and Dorchester at 8.9 miles, is where Van & Driver connects you with a van and driver at a fixed price for the move, whether that's a full house removal, a man with a van for a single sofa, or a tip run to a licensed recycling centre. You can book now for moves within Wool itself or for trips out to Wareham, Dorchester and Upton, with the price set in advance so there are no surprises when the van turns up.

Beyond removals, the same fixed-price approach covers furniture delivery, next-day van bookings, storage moves, student removals, marketplace collections and commercial courier work, all through the same simple system. Whether you're clearing a flat near the station, shifting items to a new place in Wareham, or need something collected and delivered across Wool and the surrounding villages, the booking process stays the same: choose the move, see the price, confirm it. It's built for people who want a straightforward way to move things without haggling over time spent on the road.

Wool had 5,044 people at the 2021 Census. The council's nearest recycling centre is Dorchester Recycling Centre (Louds Mill), 7.5 miles away; a tip run with us goes to a licensed recycling centre, with the disposal in the price.
