Questions from East Claydon
Do you come out to small places like East Claydon?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is East Claydon close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. See all areas.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.

Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Of course. Just include them in your numbers.
