Freemantle · SO15 · Est. 2010
Flat moves, terraced-house removals and collections across Freemantle, from a local team based on Hill Lane just up the road.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Freemantle in SO15, including Shirley Road and the terraced streets between Shirley, Millbrook and the city centre. Our base is on Hill Lane in SO15, so we're usually 5–10 minutes away, offering man and van hire, house removals, student moves and collections in Freemantle 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Freemantle grew in the Victorian era, when the old Freemantle estate was split up and criss-crossed with new roads. Today it's a tight grid of terraced streets either side of Shirley Road, between Shirley, Millbrook and the city centre.
Those streets mean on-street parking, narrow hallways and steep stairs. We plan where the van can stop, bring enough people to carry safely, and dismantle larger furniture so it comes out without scuffing walls.
Freemantle is a short drive from Southampton Central station and the city centre, so it's popular with commuters, young professionals and students. We move flats and shared houses here all year round.
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
Freemantle has its own streets, buildings and rules. Here's what we plan for.
Shirley Road runs through the middle of Freemantle, so we load from the side streets where we can, away from bus stops.
Narrow halls and steep stairs are common, so we dismantle beds and wardrobes and protect walls and banisters.
Most Freemantle homes have no driveway, so tell us where the van can stop, or ask the council about a parking bay suspension.
Parking tip: if the van needs to stop on a council road in Freemantle, 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.
