Hythe · SO45 · Est. 2010
House removals and man and van hire in Hythe, the waterside town across Southampton Water from the city, from the pier to the marina village.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Hythe in SO45, the waterside town on the west shore of Southampton Water, linked to the city by ferry. Our base in Southampton is about 25 minutes away, so we offer house removals, man and van hire, packing and long distance moves from Hythe 7 days a week.


Your local movers
Hythe sits on the western shore of Southampton Water, looking across to the city's docks. Its long pier stretches out into the water, and a passenger ferry crosses from it to Southampton's Town Quay.
The town has a pedestrianised high street, a waterside promenade and a marina village with flats and houses around the harbour.
Hythe moves range from older homes near the high street to marina apartments and family houses on the estates behind the town. We check access and parking for each.
The ferry only carries foot passengers, so our vans drive round via Totton and the A326. We plan the timing so there are no surprises.

Local know-how
Hythe has its own streets, buildings and rules. Here's what we plan for.
The pier and ferry are for foot passengers, so we drive round via Totton.
Marina apartments often have parking rules and lifts, so we plan with the building.
Hythe is in the New Forest district, so council tax and bins are handled by New Forest District Council.
Parking tip: if the van needs to stop on a council road in Hythe, contact New Forest District 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.
