The costs people miss most often
In Melksham, the hidden extras are usually practical rather than mysterious. A side path, shared doorway, awkward turn or longer walk from the van can add repeated minutes that never show up in a simple postcode estimate.

Why short local moves still overrun
Local mileage can be tiny while handling time does all the damage. many residential roads are workable, but cul-de-sacs, parked cars and set-back plots can still force the van away from the door and longer front paths, side access routes, shared drives and awkward turns through porches are often what turn a quick job into a slower one.
How to avoid those quiet overruns
Flag anything that slows each trip: stairs, court parking, narrow halls, gates, lift waits or heavy items. In Melksham, that honesty is what keeps the day efficient and the price closer to expectation.
