Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Botley in SO30, the historic village on the River Hamble east of Hedge End. Our base in Southampton is about 25–30 minutes away, so we offer house removals, man and van hire, packing and long distance moves from Botley 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Botley is a historic village at the head of the River Hamble, just east of Hedge End. It grew as a market village, and its wide main street still has the Market Hall and coaching inns.
The writer William Cobbett lived in Botley in the early 1800s, and Botley Mills on the river has been a mill site since the Domesday Book. Large new developments at Boorley Green and Boorley Park have grown the village in recent years.
Botley moves range from period cottages near the High Street to new family homes at Boorley Green. We check access and parking for each before the day.
Botley has its own railway station and sits close to the M27, so moves to Southampton, Fareham and beyond are easy to plan.

Botley has its own streets, buildings and rules. Here's what we plan for.
Botley's main street is busy with traffic to Hedge End and Bishop's Waltham, so we plan where the van stops.
The new estates at Boorley Green usually have drives, which keeps loading quick.
Botley is in the Borough of Eastleigh, so council tax and bins are handled by Eastleigh Borough Council.
Parking tip: if the van needs to stop on a council road in Botley, contact Eastleigh Borough 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.
