Lordswood · SO16 · Est. 2010
Careful house removals across Lordswood's family homes, between Bassett, Lordshill and Chilworth, from a team based just down the road on Hill Lane.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Lordswood in SO16, the residential area between Bassett, Lordshill, Aldermoor and Chilworth. Our base on Hill Lane is 5–10 minutes away, so we offer house removals, man and van hire, packing and collections in Lordswood 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Lordswood sits in the northern part of Southampton, bordering Lordshill, Chilworth, Aldermoor and Bassett. Its main landscape feature is the gentle valley of the Holly Brook, and it's fairly high ground for the city.
Much of the housing is larger, owner-occupied detached and semi-detached homes. That usually means more rooms, more furniture and more to pack, so we plan crew size and van space carefully.
For family homes we give a fixed quote, bring a 2–4 person crew, and wrap furniture in blankets. We can pack for you the day before, and dismantle and rebuild beds and wardrobes.
Lordswood is a short drive from our base on Hill Lane, which makes it easy for us to fit in pre-move visits, extra trips and short-notice jobs.

Local know-how
Lordswood has its own streets, buildings and rules. Here's what we plan for.
Lordswood sits on higher ground around the Holly Brook valley, so some drives and paths are steep. We bring the right kit and crew.
Larger detached homes usually need a bigger crew and van, so we size both to your home and give a fixed quote.
Our base is on Hill Lane, a short drive away, so pre-move visits and extra trips are easy to arrange.
Parking tip: if the van needs to stop on a council road in Lordswood, 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.
