Local removals
Removals in Ripley
Ripley is a village on the old Portsmouth road, north-east of Guildford, with a long high street, a green and houses that range from cottages tight to the pavement to homes set behind it. Through-traffic is the thing people notice. A removal van that stops casually on the high street will not be popular, and it may not be legal. We ask where the house actually sits before we agree a time. The drive from 6 Woodbridge Rd, Guildford GU1 1EE is about six miles. It is still a local job for us, not a long-distance move, but it is far enough that we want both the volume and the access in the quote. House removals are the main request. Office moves are part of our normal work if a village business is changing address. Smaller loads of furniture can be a man and van. Ripley is in Guildford borough, with its own parish council at Victory House on the high street. Postcodes are mainly GU23, shared with Send, so the road name matters more than the postcode alone. There is no railway station in the village. Guildford and Woking are the practical railheads. Council tax goes to Guildford Borough Council. When you move in, register with a GP for the new address and set a post redirect before you give the old keys back.

The high street and the green

Moving in Ripley: common questions
Can the van stop on Ripley High Street?
Only if there is a legal place. Many houses are better served from a side access. Tell us the exact address and we will say what is realistic.
Is Ripley in Woking borough?
No. Ripley is in Guildford borough. Woking is a separate council further along the road.
Do you cover the village green side and the bypass side?
Yes. They feel different from the driver's seat. The address is enough for us to plan.
