Measure the load and check both addresses
Plan van hire in Charing
A house move usually means boxes and furniture travelling together, so a few practical details help match the right van.
Count the whole load, not just the biggest piece
Add up the boxes and furniture together, since a van sized only for the largest item can still run short on room.
Order matters as much as size
Think about what needs to come out first, so fragile furniture isn't buried behind boxes loaded on top of it.
Flag anything fragile
Let us know if glass, marble or delicate finishes are involved so we can discuss a van with enough floor space to keep pieces apart.
Weight adds up quickly
A stack of full boxes can weigh more than expected, so mention an approximate total alongside the furniture.
Charing van hire journey notes
Routes and access for van hire in Charing
Use the exact Charing address and current access instructions. If the journey continues towards Egerton, Challock, Lenham, treat those as separate destinations and identify the loading, unloading or parking point required at each one. That distinction matters for moving belongings and work equipment, because load dimensions, payload, loading order and stopping space must be assessed at the real stopping point rather than inferred from a nearby place name.

Van Hire questions
Can boxes and furniture travel in the same van as long as there's room?
Yes, a mixed load of boxes and furniture is common, but let us know the rough volume and weight of both together so the van suggested has enough space for the whole move, not just the furniture.
Do I need to list every box separately when enquiring?
An exact count isn't essential, but a rough number and an idea of how full each box is helps alongside the furniture details when we discuss a suitable van size.
Is a smaller van ever better for a move with fragile items?
Not necessarily smaller, but a van with enough clear floor space can make it easier to keep fragile pieces separate from boxes, so mention any delicate items when you get in touch.
