Local man and van hire and removals in Chapel, the riverside neighbourhood between St Mary's, Ocean Village and the River Itchen.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Chapel in SO14, the riverside area between St Mary's, Ocean Village and the River Itchen. Our base on Hill Lane is about 10–15 minutes away, so we offer man and van hire, flat and house removals, business moves and collections in Chapel 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Chapel is a small riverside neighbourhood on the eastern edge of Southampton's centre, between St Mary's and the River Itchen. Separated from St Mary's by the railway line, it mixes older streets with newer apartment developments close to the water.
Because Chapel sits right beside St Mary's and Ocean Village, many of our moves here are short local hops within SO14, or across the river to Woolston and the east of the city.
As well as flats and houses, there are business premises around Chapel and the nearby waterfront. We move business equipment, stock and office furniture, and can work early, late or at weekends to keep your business open.
Moves from Chapel to Woolston or Sholing usually cross the Itchen Bridge, a toll bridge, or Northam Bridge further north. We pick the quickest route for the time of day.

Local know-how
Chapel has its own streets, buildings and rules. Here's what we plan for.
Chapel runs down to the River Itchen, with Ocean Village to the south and St Mary's to the west, so most local moves are short.
We move workshops, stock and office furniture, out of hours where needed, so your business keeps running.
For moves east, we choose between the Itchen Bridge, a toll bridge, and Northam Bridge, depending on traffic.
Parking tip: if the van needs to stop on a council road in Chapel, 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.
