Man and van in Leatherhead

Not everything needs a Luton and four people. A room going across town, a flat emptied for a sale, a storage unit cleared, a single heavy piece bought at a saleroom — man and van covers it, with the same crews and the same protection.

What it suits

• Flats, studios and single rooms across KT22
• Student and shared-house moves
• Dealer, auction and marketplace collections
• Moves out to Fetcham, Bookham, Ashtead and the villages
• One awkward item: a sofa, a fridge-freezer, an upright piano, a workbench
• Clearing a storage unit into a new address

Travel is the honest bit

On a small job across a patch this spread out, travel is a much larger share of the total than it is on a house move. Leatherhead out to Effingham and back is a real chunk of a morning before anything is lifted. We show that in the quote rather than folding it somewhere less visible.

Collections

This corner of Surrey generates a great many. Auction and dealer pieces are reliably older, heavier and less packed than they photograph, and frequently have to leave inside a fixed window. What we need is what it actually is, roughly what it weighs, and when it has to be gone by.

The access questions, again

Small loads come out of the awkward buildings — conversions with a shared front door, flats above shops, and the occasional gated property where the van still has to get past the gate. Same short list every time: floor, lift, stairwell turn, and where the vehicle can legally stand.

Where it stops being right

Around a well-filled one-bed. Past that it becomes two trips and a long day, which is more than a flat removal would have cost. Describe the load honestly and we will tell you which side of the line you are on.
