Wimborne Minster, Colehill and the moves between
Some Wimborne moves are short hops: within Wimborne Minster, out to Colehill, or across to Ferndown. Others link Wimborne with Poole or Bournemouth. The quote works the same way for each. We look at how much is going, the access at both doors and where the van can wait, then send a written price.
- House removals, with full packing if you want it
- Flat and small home moves
- Furniture dismantled at one end and rebuilt at the other
- Piano moves and other heavy items, planned separately
- Storage between moves
Moving between Wimborne and Ferndown
Wimborne and Ferndown are both in the Dorset Council area, so a move between them deals with one council at both ends rather than two. The A31 links the two towns: it becomes single carriageway as it enters Dorset just before Ferndown, then passes Wimborne Minster. Source: Wikipedia, A31 road. If you are moving the other way, see removals in Ferndown for that end.
Moving only a few items? A man and van booking can be simpler. See man and van for how hourly pricing works.

What is different about moving in Wimborne
Wimborne sits outside the BCP area and on the single-carriageway stretch of the A31. Both affect the plan, and both are worth knowing before you pick a moving date.
Dorset Council, not BCP
Wimborne Minster and Colehill are in the Dorset Council area. The parking waivers and dispensations on the BCP Council permits page cover Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, not Wimborne. If the van needs to stop on a restricted street here, check with the local council what applies.

The A31 becomes single carriageway as it enters Dorset just before Ferndown, and passes Wimborne Minster on that single-carriageway run. A loaded van travels at the pace of the road, so we plan the day around it rather than quoting a time to the minute.
Source: Wikipedia, A31 roadComing from Poole? The waiver stays in Poole
The BCP daily parking waiver for tradespeople in the Poole area is £15 per day per vehicle and is valid only in the area applied for. On a Poole to Wimborne move it can only help at the Poole end, and removals are not mentioned, so check with the council that it covers your move.

Questions about removals in Wimborne
Do BCP parking permits work in Wimborne?
No. Wimborne Minster and Colehill are in the Dorset Council area, not BCP. The BCP waivers and dispensations cover Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. Check with the local council what is needed if the van has to park on a restricted street in Wimborne.
I am moving from Poole to Wimborne. Does the Poole waiver cover both ends?
No. The BCP daily parking waiver for tradespeople in the Poole area is only valid in the area applied for, so at most it helps at the Poole end. Removals are not mentioned on the council page, so check with the council that it covers your move.
Do you cover Colehill as well as Wimborne Minster?
Yes. We arrange removals in Wimborne Minster and Colehill, and between Wimborne and Ferndown, Poole, Bournemouth and the other towns we cover.
Which road links Wimborne with the rest of the area?
The A31 passes Wimborne Minster on its single-carriageway run, after it enters Dorset just before Ferndown. Your quote is worked out on the real distance between your two addresses.
How much does packing add to a Wimborne move?
The BestBuilders 2026 guide gives a typical full packing service at £300 to £500 for a 2-bed home and £500 to £900 for a 3-bed house, on top of the move itself. You can also pack some rooms yourself and ask for the rest.
