Local removals
Removals in Merrow
Merrow sits east of Guildford along the Epsom Road, with family houses, a few flats and lanes that climb towards the downs. It feels separate from the High Street, but it is still a short drive from our base. Most jobs here are whole houses: semis and detached homes with a drive, a garage and sometimes a loft that has not been emptied for years. A few roads nearer the downs are narrower, with hedges and a limited place to leave a van. We work from 6 Woodbridge Rd, Guildford GU1 1EE, about two miles away. Tell us whether you are on the main road side of Merrow or up towards the downs, because the carry and the turning space are not the same. House removals and office moves are what we do most. A smaller furniture job can be a man and van, and packing can be added for the kitchen or the whole house. Postcodes are generally GU1 and GU4. Guildford Borough Council covers council tax and bins. Surrey County Council covers schools admissions and the recycling centres. If you are moving into Merrow from another part of Guildford, the change of address still needs telling to both, plus your GP. Merrow Park Surgery is in the area if you need a local practice to ask about registering.

Directions from Merrow to our base
Houses east of the town
Merrow moves are usually drive-to-door, which is kinder than the town centre, until the house sits on a lane with a ditch and a bend. Tell us if the removal van will block the lane, and we will plan a shorter stop.
House removals cover the full home. Add packing if the kitchen is the part you do not want to do yourself. Burpham and Chilworth are the neighbours we are asked about most often from here.
