Removals in Onslow Village
Onslow Village is a residential area west of Guildford, planned as family housing and still mostly houses rather than flats over shops. Roads are quieter than the High Street, but they are not all wide, and a van at the kerb can fill a street of parked cars. Many moves here are three or four bedroom homes, with a garage, a small garden and furniture that has been in place for a long time. Our base at 6 Woodbridge Rd, Guildford GU1 1EE is about two miles away, across town. The Royal Surrey County Hospital and the University of Surrey's Stag Hill campus are the large neighbours. That matters on a moving day because Egerton Road and the roads around the hospital can be slow at clinic times. Tell us if your house is on the hospital side or further into the village. House removals are the usual job. Office moves happen when a spare room or a small local firm is relocating. Postcodes are mainly GU2. Guildford Borough Council is the borough, and Surrey County Council runs school admissions. If you are coming from another part of the UK, allow time to register with a GP and to look up the bin week before the first collection.

Directions from Onslow Village to our base
Family houses on the west side
A typical Onslow job is a full house with a drive or a short path. Wardrobes and corner sofas still need a measured doorway. If the house backs onto a busy approach to the hospital, say so, and we will avoid promising a kerb space we cannot keep.
House removals are the right starting point. Park Barn is the next area west, with more flats and the sports park. Get a free quote or call 01483 387860.

Moving in Onslow Village: common questions
Is Onslow Village easy for a removal van?
Easier than the High Street, but parked cars can still block a large van. A photo of the road outside the house helps us plan.
Do you move houses next to the hospital?
Yes. Mention hospital traffic if you need a fixed arrival. We would rather agree a window than promise a minute we cannot keep.
Are there flats as well as houses?
Yes, though houses are the larger share. Flats are quoted with the floor and the parking, same as anywhere else in Guildford.
