House removals and man and van hire in West End, between Southampton and Hedge End, from the old village centre to the homes around the cricket ground.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of West End in SO30, the village between Southampton and Hedge End, home of Hampshire's cricket ground. Our base in Southampton is about 20–25 minutes away, so we offer house removals, man and van hire, packing and long distance moves from West End 7 days a week.


Your local movers
West End is a large village just east of Southampton, between Bitterne and Hedge End, and part of the Borough of Eastleigh. It sits above the River Itchen, with Itchen Valley Country Park along its western edge.
The village is home to the Rose Bowl, now the Utilita Bowl, Hampshire County Cricket Club's ground, which opened in 2001 and now hosts international matches, concerts and a hotel.
Homes range from older cottages around the High Street to family houses and newer estates. We check access and parking before the day and give fixed quotes for full house removals.
Roads around the cricket ground get busy on match and concert days, so we plan move times around big events.

★★★★★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.
