House removals and man and van hire in Hamble-le-Rice, the sailing village where the River Hamble meets Southampton Water.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Hamble in SO31, the sailing village at the mouth of the River Hamble on Southampton Water. Our base in Southampton is about 30 minutes away, so we offer house removals, man and van hire, packing and long distance moves from Hamble 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Hamble-le-Rice, usually just called Hamble, sits where the River Hamble flows into Southampton Water. It's one of the best-known sailing centres in the country, with marinas, boatyards and a busy waterfront.
Its narrow High Street runs down to the quay, where a small passenger ferry crosses to Warsash. Hamble Common, by the river mouth, has the remains of a castle built for Henry VIII.
Moves in the old village are often cottages on narrow, sloping streets, while the newer parts of Hamble have family houses with drives. We check access and parking for each before the day.
The roads into Hamble get busy in summer and on regatta weekends, so we plan your move time and where the van stops.

Local know-how
Hamble has its own streets, buildings and rules. Here's what we plan for.
The High Street runs down to the quay and is narrow in places, so we plan where the van can stop.
A small foot ferry crosses the river to Warsash, but by road we go round via Bursledon.
Hamble 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 Hamble, 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.
