Alton access and housing notes
GU34 housing stock and loading reality, written for Alton rather than the county.
Removals in Alton: what actually matters here
An East Hampshire market town at the head of the Wey valley, with a Georgian and Victorian centre, a brewing and light-industrial history, and a wide hinterland of downland villages sharing its postcode.
The housing stock is Georgian and Victorian property along the High Street and Normandy Street, much of it listed; Victorian terraces around the old brewery and station; interwar and post-war semis at Wilsom and Borovere; modern estate development on the eastern and northern edges; and period cottages, farmhouses and converted barns through the GU34 villages, which decides the tools, protection and crew size we bring to a removals job.
Alton's centre is the constraint. The High Street and the lanes behind it are narrow, one-way in places, heavily parked and lined with listed frontages, so a large van cannot simply stand while it loads and we plan a smaller vehicle or a timed stop. The modern estates on the edges of town are conventional, with drives and turning space. The GU34 villages bring single-track lanes, flint walls and farm entrances where the vehicle is chosen before the price is given. East Hampshire District Council sets parking, collections and bulky waste; disposal is through Hampshire County Council's permit-controlled recycling centres, which accept no trade waste.
We treat Alton as one service area: Holybourne, Wilsom, Borovere, Chawton and Beech and the rest of GU34 share the same removals price list and the same crews.
Alton is a smaller town; the streets around The Watercress Line steam railway running from Alton station towards Alresford are the ones where we most often check loading arrangements in advance.
What a removals job includes
A house removal is a surveyed, fixed-price job, not an hourly booking: we look at the property, count the volume, work out the access at both ends and quote one number — from £340 for a studio or one-bed, from £520 for a two-bed, and from £780 for a three-bed with a crew of three for the day. Crews carry blankets, straps and trolleys as standard and dismantle and reassemble standard beds and tables as part of the price, with goods in transit cover of £10k per load and £1m public liability in place before anything is loaded.
Before moving day
- Video or in-person survey, then a fixed written price that does not move unless you add work
- Volume, crew size and van count planned from the survey rather than guessed on the day
- Access checked at both ends — parking, lift booking, floor level, stair width
- A written plan for what gets dismantled and what travels assembled
On the day
- Floors, banisters and door frames protected on the carry route
- Furniture blanket-wrapped, mattresses bagged, mirrors and glass carried between boards
- Standard beds, wardrobes and tables dismantled and rebuilt at the new address
- Boxes placed in the labelled room, not stacked in the hall
At the new address
- Large furniture positioned where you want it before the crew leaves
- Beds rebuilt so the first night does not happen on a mattress on the floor
- Blankets, boards and our own packaging taken away
- A signed job sheet recording condition and completion
What changes the price on a removals job
- Access is the second half. No lift above the third floor, a permit-only street, a long carry from the nearest legal stopping point or a lift that must be booked with a building manager all add crew hours — we would rather find that at survey than at 8am on moving day.
- Completion-day timing is outside anyone's control. Keys held up by a solicitor happen; we plan a realistic start, and the honest answer is that the crew can only load once you can hand over access.
- Parking, congestion charge and ULEZ where genuinely incurred are itemised at cost and never marked up. They are the only pass-through on a removal.
- Pianos, safes, large aquariums and full-size gym equipment are specialist lifts quoted separately, and we do not carry fuel, gas bottles or hazardous goods in a stacked load.
- Volume, not distance, sets a removal price. A cluttered two-bed with a full loft and garage can be a bigger job than a tidy three-bed, which is why we survey rather than price from bedroom count.

The drivers were very friendly and helpful. But they arrived at our place without any of the boxes we had previously paid for and were not aware we had contracted them. The office was helpful to find a solution but the whole process was delayed in 2 hours and in the end we didnt get… Read in full →
A throughly professional and friendly job. Moving house can be stressful, and these guys made the experience significantly less so by efficiently cleaning the house.

Alton questions, answered.
How quickly can you book removals in Alton?
Same-week slots are standard in Alton, with next-day often available midweek. Month-end tenancy changeovers are the busiest window across Hampshire, so book those a week or two ahead.
Why survey instead of just quoting by bedrooms?
Because bedroom count does not tell us volume or access, and those are what the day actually costs. A ten-minute video walk-round gives you a fixed price we stand behind rather than an estimate that moves once the van is half full.
Do you pack as well?
Packing is a separate service, priced per packer per hour or as a fixed price by property size, and it can be booked for the whole house, for the kitchen and fragiles only, or not at all. Keeping it separate means you are not paying for packing you intend to do yourself.
What is covered if something is damaged?
Goods in transit cover of £10k per load applies to everything in the van, with £1m public liability alongside it. Anything already damaged is noted with you before loading, and anything raised within 24 hours is put right rather than argued about.
Can the move run over two days?
Yes, and for larger homes it is often the sensible plan — pack and load non-essentials on day one, complete on day two. It is quoted as one job, with the overnight load staying secured in the van or in storage as agreed in writing.
