House removals and man and van hire in Rownhams, the village just outside Southampton's north-west edge, by a local team based on Hill Lane.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Rownhams in SO16, the village in the Nursling and Rownhams parish, just outside Southampton's north-west edge. Our base on Hill Lane is 10–15 minutes away, so we offer house removals, man and van hire, packing and collections in Rownhams 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Rownhams is a village just outside the City of Southampton, to the north-west, in the Test Valley district. It has more than 1,200 homes, a primary school, a community centre and the parish church of St John the Evangelist, and the M27 runs just to the north.
Many homes here are family houses with driveways, which makes loading easier. We still check access and parking before the day, especially on narrower village roads.
Rownhams is in Test Valley, not Southampton, so things like council tax and bins are run by Test Valley Borough Council. For us it's a short drive from our base on Hill Lane.
With the M27 right on the village's doorstep, moves from Rownhams to Eastleigh, Winchester, Portsmouth or further afield get on the motorway quickly.

★★★★★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.
