Hastings town centre · loading plan

Start with the space outside the door

A nearby parking space and a usable loading place are not always the same. Check the actual street, entrance and carrying route at collection and delivery.

Using a town-centre street or bay

East Sussex lists a two-hour paid-parking maximum for Central Area and Wellington Square bays. That parking limit does not confirm permission to load at a particular spot.

Use the council map to locate the bay, then check its signs and any loading restrictions. Record an alternative if the space cannot be used.

Using a drive or building loading area

Confirm the actual vehicle entrance with the occupier or building manager. Check gates, barriers, height limits and any loading or lift booking.

Record how the items reach the van. A space beside the building may still involve entrance steps, a long corridor or stairs.

For an address outside Hastings, use that address’s local rules and building instructions.

Does the move depend on reserving a parking bay?

Residents and businesses can apply to East Sussex County Council for a bay suspension. Applications are assessed individually and charges apply. A dispensation is a separate provision for vehicles or activities not covered by national exemptions.

If space must be reserved, check the process for the actual bay and moving date before relying on it. Establish what vehicle details and length of space the council needs; the online quote does not reserve a bay or supply an assigned registration.

Local sources checked 14 September 2026. Follow current signs and instructions for the space you intend to use.

Collection + delivery

Check the whole route from room to van

  1. Locate the usable entrance

    Check both addresses, including the route from the loading place. Put the entrance, any steps and the carrying distance in Driver notes.

  2. Match the load to the indoor access

    List boxes and furniture in the quote. Select the correct floor or lift at each address; measure bulky items against doorways, stair turns and the lift opening.

  3. Choose help for both ends

    Choose 1 person if you can provide suitable lifting help at collection and delivery. Compare 2 people for a driver and helper when you cannot.

Price your actual move

What will a Hastings man and van cost?

Your fixed price comes from your route, items, access, moving help, date, available collection window and selected extras. Enter those details to compare live prices before booking.

Choose and narrow your collection window online, reviewing the price as you adjust it. It sets when the driver arrives at collection; loading and the journey take time afterwards. If an essential delivery appointment cannot be flexible, confirm that specific requirement before paying.

Questions about booking

Will the driver help with loading and unloading?

Yes. Your driver helps load and unload the items listed in your booking.

  • 1 person means the driver. You’ll need to provide capable lifting help at both collection and delivery.
  • 2 people means the driver and a helper, so you don’t need to provide lifting help for the agreed move.

Include your items, floor levels and access details accurately so the quote reflects the help you need.

Can I change my booking or add more items?

Yes. Use the online amendment form to update your items, addresses, date, collection window or moving help. The form shows your deadline and any price difference before you confirm.

Online changes close 48 hours before collection. Some changes also need your driver’s agreement, so follow the confirmation and payment steps shown. If the form is unavailable or your move is sooner, contact support so we can check what’s possible.

Are the instant prices real?

Yes. Your prices are calculated live from your route, items, date, nearby driver availability and the options you choose.

That calculation only takes seconds, so there’s no artificial waiting screen and no callback needed. Once you book, your price is fixed for the details you’ve given us.
