Coxford · SO16 · Est. 2010
Family removals, flat moves and collections across Coxford, between Lordshill, Aldermoor and Maybush, from a local team based on Hill Lane.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Coxford in SO16, including Coxford Road and the streets towards Lordshill, Aldermoor and Maybush. Our base on Hill Lane is 5–10 minutes away, so we offer man and van hire, flat and house removals and collections in Coxford 7 days a week.


Your local movers
Coxford is in the north-west of Southampton and gives its name to the city's Coxford ward, which also takes in Lordshill. Like its neighbours, it was farmland until the 20th century and is now mostly family housing.
Homes here are mainly houses and maisonettes on residential roads. We plan where the van can stop, and bring enough people to carry safely from door to van.
Many Coxford moves are short hops to Lordshill, Aldermoor, Maybush or Shirley. These are quick jobs for us, and our man and van service is charged by the hour.
Coxford is close to the M27 and the M271, so moves out of the city to Romsey, Totton, Eastleigh or further afield get going 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.
