Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Bursledon in SO31, the village on the River Hamble between Southampton and Fareham. 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 Bursledon 7 days a week.


Your local movers
Bursledon sits on the west bank of the River Hamble, just off junction 8 of the M27. It has a long history of shipbuilding: HMS Elephant, Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Copenhagen, was built here in 1786.
The village is home to Bursledon Windmill, a restored working windmill, and Bursledon Brickworks, a Victorian brickworks museum. Old Bursledon, down by the river, is a conservation area with older cottages.
Moves in Old Bursledon often mean cottages on narrow, sloping lanes, while most homes elsewhere are family houses with drives. We plan access for each.
Bursledon is right by junction 8 of the M27, so moves to Southampton, Fareham and further afield are quick to plan.

Lanes by the river are narrow and steep in places, so we plan the van size and parking.
Bursledon Windmill and the Brickworks museum sit among quiet residential roads.
Bursledon 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 Bursledon, 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.
