Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Thornhill in SO19, including the estate and the streets towards Bitterne, Sholing and Hedge End. Our base on Hill Lane is 20–25 minutes away, so we offer man and van hire, flat and house removals and collections in Thornhill 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Thornhill is a suburb on the eastern border of Southampton, bounded by three major roads. Part of it was brought into the city in 1954, and what began as a small estate of private homes was greatly expanded in the 1960s with council housing.
Today Thornhill is a mix of owner-occupied, council, housing association and privately rented homes, from family houses to flats and maisonettes. It's part of the city's Bitterne ward.
For flats and maisonettes we check stairs and access before the day, and for houses we plan where the van can stop. Full house removals get a fixed quote.
Thornhill is close to Hedge End, West End and the routes to the M27, so moves out of the city towards Portsmouth, Winchester or further afield are quick to start.

★★★★★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.
