Our story

A local Southampton removals team since 2010

Man and a Van Southampton is an independent, family-run removals company. We started in 2010 with one van and a simple idea: turn up on time, look after people's belongings as if they were our own, and give a clear price before the job starts.

More than fifteen years later we still work the same way. Our base is at 258 Hill Lane in Southampton, and a good deal of our work now comes from word of mouth and repeat customers, from students and first-time renters to families, landlords and local businesses.

Run by Dave and a small, trusted crew

Dave runs the business day to day, answers most of the calls himself and plans every job. Moves are carried out by our own trained team rather than subcontractors, so you get the same standard of care whether you're moving a single sofa or a four-bedroom house.

Southampton and Hampshire, every day of the week

We cover every SO postcode from the city centre out to Winchester, Eastleigh, Romsey, the Hamble and the New Forest, and we take homes from Hampshire to anywhere in the UK. We work seven days a week, including evenings and short-notice moves.

I used this to move within Southampton, and then out of Southampton a few years later, and both times it was a very positive experience. From first message to the last box leaving the truck, I was assured about the move.
