House removals, flat moves and student moves across Bassett, from the tree-lined Bassett Avenue to the shops on Winchester Road.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Bassett in SO16, including Bassett Avenue, the streets around Winchester Road and the roads towards Lordswood and Bassett Green. Our base on Hill Lane is 5–10 minutes away, so we offer man and van hire, house removals, student moves and packing in Bassett 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Bassett lies north of the city centre, along the A33 Bassett Avenue, the tree-lined route into Southampton from the M3. It's home to the highest point in the city, and a mix of large family houses, flats and smaller homes around the Winchester Road shops.
Many Bassett homes are larger detached and semi-detached houses with a lot to move. We bring a 2–4 person crew, wrap furniture in blankets, and give a fixed quote for full house removals.
Bassett is close to Southampton Common and the University of Southampton, so we also move students and staff between flats, shared houses and halls, especially at the end and start of term.
Bassett Avenue leads straight to the M3 and M27, so moves from Bassett to Winchester, Eastleigh, London or anywhere else in the UK get on the road 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.
