Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Merry Oak in SO19, the residential area between Peartree Green, Sholing and Bitterne. Our base on Hill Lane is 20–25 minutes away, so we offer man and van hire, house removals and collections in Merry Oak 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Merry Oak is a residential area on the east side of Southampton, next to Peartree Green and between Sholing and Bitterne. It's mostly family houses and flats on residential streets.
Because it sits between several neighbourhoods, many Merry Oak moves are short local hops to Peartree, Woolston, Sholing or Bitterne, which are often done in a morning.
For family homes we give a fixed quote, bring a crew sized to your home, and wrap furniture in blankets. We can also pack for you the day before.
Merry Oak is a short drive from both the Itchen Bridge and Northam Bridge, so moves across the river to the city centre and beyond are simple to plan.

★★★★★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.
