Removals in Godalming
Godalming is a town in its own right, south of Guildford, with a high street, a station and hillside streets that surprise people who only know the bypass. Houses run from cottages near the centre to family homes in the surrounding roads, and there is a steady amount of office space above shops and in small courtyards. A van in the middle of Godalming has the same problem as a van in Guildford: the pretty street is not always a legal place to stop. We are based at 6 Woodbridge Rd, Guildford GU1 1EE, about five miles away. The drive is routine. The quote depends on the house, the floor and whether you are near the station, on a hill, or in a road with a drive. Farncombe is the neighbouring area with its own station, and we treat it separately so the parking notes stay honest. Godalming is in Waverley borough, not Guildford borough. Council tax and bins go to Waverley Borough Council at The Burys. Surrey County Council still handles schools and the recycling centres. House removals and office removals are the work we do most. Postcodes are mainly GU7. If you are moving down from Guildford, change the council as well as the GP, because the borough boundary is real even though the drive is short.

Directions from Godalming to our base
A town south of Guildford
Hill streets and the centre need the same honesty as Guildford’s lanes. A house with a drive on the edge of town is a calmer load. Tell us which you have, and whether the move includes an office as well as the home.
House removals and office removals are the core pages. Farncombe is the next stop up the line. Get a free quote or call 01483 387860.
