Working in Gloucester: what we plan for
Local property mix: Listed period stock around the cathedral and docks, with newer family estates ringing the city.
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
