Local realities in Cheltenham — and how we adapt
Local property mix: Stunning Regency and Georgian stock through Montpellier and Pittville; family villas in Charlton Kings.
Vehicles sized to the streets
Medieval and Georgian streets in this part of the UK weren't designed for a 7.5-tonne Luton. We default to short-wheelbase or transit vans where access is tight, sometimes splitting the load across two smaller vehicles rather than risk a stuck truck in a one-way Georgian terrace. If the council has a footstreet scheme with timed access, we apply for the permit in advance — that's part of the service, not an extra you have to figure out.
What's included
Man with a van is the right service for studio or one-bed flat moves, single-item collections, marketplace pickups and small business deliveries. ExpertHome's crews are uniformed, insured and equipped — not just a driver with a van.
- One or two-person crew
