Your local movers
Woolston sits on the east bank of the River Itchen, linked to the city centre by the Itchen Bridge. Its name is thought to come from Olaf's tun, a Viking-era settlement, and it appears in the Domesday Book as Olvestune. It became part of Southampton in 1920.
Woolston has a strong maritime and aviation history. Its riverside was home to shipbuilding for well over a century, and the Supermarine works here developed the seaplanes that led to the Spitfire.
Homes range from Victorian terraces and family houses to newer apartments by the river. For flats we check lifts and loading points, and for houses we plan where the van can stop.
The Itchen Bridge, a toll bridge, takes us straight from Woolston into the city centre and Ocean Village. For moves north we use Northam Bridge instead, depending on traffic.

Newer riverside blocks often have lift bookings and loading rules, so we work to your building's times.

★★★★★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.
