Man and van prices in Guildford: what is included

A man and van price depends on the load and the stairs. Here is what should be in the quote, and what is a different job.

A removal van ready for a smaller load

What the job actually is

Man and van work is for a smaller load: part of a home, a room of furniture, a few bulky pieces. The price moves with how much is on the list and how hard it is to carry. It does not move with a slogan.

If the list grows to most of a house, ask for a house quote instead. Comparing a van hourly guess with a full crew is how people get a nasty surprise on the day.

What should be included

A clear quote names the items, both addresses, the people on the job, blankets and placement into the rooms you name. Stairs, a long walk from the parking space, and a second address are extras only if they were not in the original list. If they are part of the job, they belong in the quote from the start.

Insurance is provided. Ask what is covered. Parking suspensions in Guildford, if the street needs one, are arranged before the day and should be talked about when you book, not invented at the kerb.

What changes the figure

Volume, floors, distance and the time of day. A ground-floor load in Stoughton with the van outside is a shorter job than a third-floor flat off the High Street. A run that leaves the local area is a different quote again. We are open 24 hours from 6 Woodbridge Rd, which helps when the only legal stop is early.
