Man with a Van Cheddar
Need a van and an extra pair of hands in Cheddar? We provide flexible transport for furniture, single items, small flat moves and store collections across the village. Call to discuss your job.
Areas we cover
We serve Cheddar and nearby settlements including Axbridge, Draycott and Shipham, subject to confirmation of coverage. Cheddar sits on the A371 between Wells and Weston-super-Mare, with the B3135 running through the gorge towards the Mendip plateau. The village's streets are mainly narrow and winding, and the gorge road is vulnerable to weather and occasional closures. Properties around Cliff Street and the older cottages near the gorge may have restricted parking, so planning the van's stopping point in advance is essential.

Local access and transport advice
Cheddar's village roads are narrow and winding, and do not cope well with large vehicles or high traffic volumes. The gorge road itself is subject to weather damage, rockfall risk and occasional closures, and overnight parking is not permitted in the gorge—use the Cliff Street car park if an overnight stop is needed. Parking spaces in the gorge as far as Horseshoe Bend are private property and may require payment. For properties on Station Road, parked vehicles can reduce sections to a single usable lane, which may affect larger vans during busy periods. Early morning starts generally give the best chance of a legal loading position before the village fills with visitors.

FAQs
What van sizes are available?
Medium and large vans are typical for single items and small flat moves. A Luton van may suit larger loads, subject to access. Confirm van size when booking.
Can you help with loading and stairs?
Yes, driver assistance with loading is included. Tell us about stairs, lifts or long carries so the quote reflects the actual work.
Do you cover Axbridge and Draycott?
Nearby coverage is subject to confirmation. Ask when you call—we will tell you honestly whether we can serve your address.
How far in advance should I book?
Midweek slots are usually more flexible. For weekends or end-of-month moves, book as early as possible.
What is not included?
Specialist items, packing materials, storage and waste disposal are not part of the service. Extremely heavy or awkward items may be declined or require a separate assessment.
