Your local movers
Lordshill is a large residential neighbourhood in the north-west of Southampton. Most of it was built from the late 1960s, when farmland was turned into new housing estates, and today it has more than 4,000 homes with a mix of council and private housing.
That means a lot of family houses, maisonettes and flats on estate roads, often with parking bays rather than driveways. We plan where the van can stop and how far we'll carry, so moving day runs smoothly.
The Lordshill Centre is the area's shopping hub, and the roads around it get busy. We time arrivals to avoid the busiest periods and load from quieter estate roads where we can.
Lordshill sits close to the M27 and the M271, so moves out to Romsey, Totton, Eastleigh or further afield get on the motorway 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.
