Man and Van Devizes We Know the Roads. You Just Relax.
If you've ever been stuck trying to reverse a van down Long Street, you'll know Devizes isn't the kind of town you move through without a plan. Thursdays shut down central access. Tourists clog the A361 on weekends. And if you miss your permit slot on St. John's Street, you're out of luck.
Our man and van Devizes service is designed for this kind of place a town that's as charming as it is logistically awkward. Whether it's a flat move near the canal, an office on a steep hill, or a rubbish clearance with limited access, we show up with a van that fits, a team that knows what's coming, and a plan that keeps your move stress-free.
We serve Devizes town centre, New Park Street, Roundway, Southbroom, and the surrounding villages. This isn't a postcode we pass through it's one we know inside-out.
What Makes Our Man and Van Service the Right Fit for Devizes
Devizes isn't the kind of place where you can just turn up in a van and hope for the best. One wrong move and you're stuck in traffic, facing a fine, or circling for half an hour looking for somewhere to park. Thursdays? Forget getting anywhere near Market Place it's shut for the street market. Weekends? The A361 is crawling with tourists heading to Caen Hill. And those canal-side roads? They've got strict curfews that can catch you out if you're not paying attention.
That's why we plan every job here down to the last detail. We pick the right van for the streets not just the biggest or cheapest and we work around market days, closures, and curfews. Need to get into St. John's Street? We'll sort the permits. Long Street's too tight for a big vehicle? We'll send a spotter or split the load so it's done safely. New Park Street on a wet day? We've handled it with fully loaded vans more times than we can count.
We've been moving people in and out of Devizes for years, through festivals, roadworks, and full town closures. We know when to start early, when to wait until late, and how to keep things moving no matter what's happening in town. With us, there's no guesswork just a plan that works.

Moving in Devizes: How to Make It Work First Time
Devizes has charm but it also has some real traps if you're trying to move anything larger than a family car.
Market Place shuts down every Thursday. If you didn't know? You'll be rerouted or just flat-out blocked. That closure affects the whole centre including St. John's Street and The Brittox.
The A361, which runs straight through town, turns into a bottleneck whenever there's something going on at Caen Hill which is often. It's a tourist magnet, and the backup can stretch all the way back to Southbroom.
Canal-side streets, like those near the Wadworth Brewery or around Station Road, have van access curfews. Miss your slot, and you'll either be waiting hours or turned away entirely.
Steep inclines on New Park Street and tight spots on Long Street demand vans that fit, drivers with experience, and, sometimes, a second person to guide in. Not planning for that? You're risking damage, fines, or worse.
Here's how we stay ahead:
Scout and map routes in advance based on job date and time
Send the smallest van possible that still gets the job done
Book early slots to avoid congestion and closure conflicts
Prepare for walk-ins when there's no door access
Apply for short-term permits if your street requires it
We cover every corner of Devizes, from Roundway and Southbroom to St. John's Street, Bath Road, and Long Street. You'll often find us working along New Park Street, Commercial Road, The Green, and Brickley Lane, as well as in Pans Lane and the Hopton Industrial Estate. If we haven't already moved someone from your street, chances are we've been right next door.
Questions People Often Ask About Man and Van in Devizes
Moving things in Devizes isn't just about turning up with a van it's about knowing the town's quirks. Market days shut down the centre, the A361 clogs with traffic at Caen Hill, and some of the older streets are a squeeze even for smaller vans. We've worked here long enough to know the back routes, the legal stopping spots, and the best times to get in and out without delays. From your first box to the last bit of furniture, we keep it flowing and get you where you need to be.
Can your van handle the steep roads like New Park Street when it's fully loaded?
Yes we account for incline when loading and selecting the van. We've moved everything from pianos to bookcases down that road in the rain. We'll assess before arrival to be 100% sure.
Do I need a parking permit for St. John's Street or Bath Road?
Usually, yes. We'll check with the council based on your address, and we can apply for the necessary permit if you give us notice. You won't need to figure that part out we'll handle it.
Can you still move me on a Thursday if I'm in the town centre?
Yes but we'll need to work around the market closure. In most cases, we'll suggest an early or late-day move, or shift the load from a legal zone nearby. We plan for this every week.
