Bevois Town · SO14 · Est. 2010
Student moves, shared-house moves and family removals across Bevois Town and Bevois Valley, by a local team about 10 minutes away.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Bevois Town in SO14, including Bevois Valley Road, Mount Pleasant and the terraced streets towards Portswood and Northam. Our base on Hill Lane is about 10 minutes away, so we offer man and van hire, student moves, house removals and collections in Bevois Town 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Bevois Town lies between Bevois Valley and the River Itchen, with rows of Victorian terraced houses, flats and shared student houses. It's close to both the University of Southampton and Solent University, so many of our moves here are students and young professionals.
Terraced streets usually mean on-street parking and narrow hallways. We plan where the van can stop, and dismantle beds and wardrobes so they come out without scuffing walls.
End-of-tenancy weeks in June and July, and the start of term in September, are the busiest times in Bevois Town. Book early, and tell us how many rooms are moving so we bring the right van and crew.
Not every job is a full move. We also collect single items, Marketplace buys and flat-pack furniture, and our man and van service is charged by the hour.

Local know-how
Bevois Town has its own streets, buildings and rules. Here's what we plan for.
Bevois Valley Road has shops, bars and steady traffic, so we load from side streets where we can, away from bus stops.
Narrow hallways and steep stairs are common, so we dismantle larger furniture and protect walls and banisters.
June, July and September are the busiest months for shared-house moves, so book these as early as you can.
Parking tip: if the van needs to stop on a council road in Bevois Town, contact Southampton City Council in advance about a parking bay suspension, and tell us where the van can stop.

★★★★★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.
