How much does a man and a van in Southampton cost?

The cost depends on a few things: how much you're moving, the size of van you need, how many helpers you'd like, the distance involved and how easy access is at both ends. Smaller man and van jobs are usually charged by the hour, while larger house removals are quoted as a complete price. Because every move is different, the best thing to do is give us a quick description of what you need — we'll come back with a clear, no-obligation quote so you know exactly where you stand before you book.

Which areas of Southampton and Hampshire do you cover?

We cover every Southampton postcode — from SO14 in the city centre out to Portswood, Shirley, Bitterne, Woolston, Bassett, Highfield, Ocean Village and beyond — as well as the wider Hampshire area, including Eastleigh, Totton, Hedge End, Romsey and Winchester. We also handle long-distance moves further afield across the UK.

Can you help with last-minute or emergency removals?

Yes. We keep some flexibility in our diary specifically for short-notice and emergency moves, whether it's a tenancy that's changed at the last minute, a sale that's completed sooner than expected or a clearance that simply can't wait. Get in touch as early as you can and, where we have a van and crew free, we'll do everything we can to fit you in — often on the same day.

Do you provide packing materials and a packing service?

We do. If you'd rather not spend your evenings wrapping crockery, our team can take care of the packing for you using proper boxes, wrap and protective materials. We can pack the whole property or just the tricky, fragile bits — whichever suits your budget and timescale.

How many people come with the van?

That's entirely up to you and the job in hand. For smaller loads, one experienced mover and a van is often plenty. For full house or office removals — or anywhere with stairs, heavy furniture or a tight schedule — a two-person crew makes the day much quicker and smoother.

Will you dismantle and reassemble furniture?

Yes. Beds, wardrobes, flat-pack units and other bulky items that won't fit through doorways can be carefully dismantled before the move and reassembled at your new property, so everything is ready to use when you arrive.

Courier Service in Southampton

Won the bid. Can't move it? We've got you covered.

Bought something on Facebook Marketplace, eBay or Gumtree but it won't fit in your car? Man and a Van Southampton collects and delivers large items across the city and all Hampshire postcodes quickly, carefully and at a fair price. Wherever you found it, we can get it to you, no matter the platform, the size of the item or where in Southampton and Hampshire the seller is based.

Facebook Marketplace

Facebook Marketplace is one of the most popular places to buy second-hand furniture, white goods and large items locally, and a van is almost always needed to collect them. We collect from sellers anywhere in Southampton and deliver straight to your door, same day when possible.

eBay

Won an eBay auction on a large item listed as collection only? We collect from eBay sellers across Southampton, Hampshire and neighbouring counties, handling the item with the same care you'd expect from a professional removal team.

Gumtree

Gumtree is full of great deals on sofas, beds, dining sets and appliances, but most sellers can't deliver. We bridge that gap, collecting from Gumtree listings anywhere in the Southampton area and getting the item safely to your home.

IKEA & Retail Stores

Ordered from IKEA Southampton, a furniture showroom or a retail park and can't fit it in your car? We collect from any store, bring it home and can assemble flat-pack furniture on arrival, just let us know when you book.

Vinted & Shpock

Vinted and Shpock are growing fast for larger second-hand items. If you've found something worth having but there's no delivery option, we'll collect it locally and get it to you, the same straightforward service, whatever the platform.

Auctions & Other Sources

Bought at a local auction house, antique fair, clearance sale or directly from a private seller? We cover all of those too. If you've got an address and an item that needs moving in Southampton or Hampshire, we can collect and deliver it.

Large items that simply won't fit in a car

If you can describe it, we've probably moved it. Our vans are fully equipped with trolleys, blankets and straps so every item, no matter the size or material, arrives in exactly the same condition it left.

We're not a courier company that handles parcels. We're a removal team with the right vehicle, the right equipment and the experience to handle furniture, appliances and awkward large items properly, including up and down stairs, through narrow hallways and into the right room.
