House removals and man and van hire across Midanbury, the small hilltop suburb between Bitterne, Bitterne Park and Townhill Park.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Midanbury in SO18, the hilltop suburb between Bitterne, Bitterne Park and Townhill Park. Our base on Hill Lane is 15–20 minutes away, so we offer house removals, man and van hire, packing and collections in Midanbury 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Midanbury is a small suburb on the east side of Southampton, bordering Bitterne, Bitterne Park and Townhill Park. It sits on high ground, with views over the Itchen valley.
In the 1790s a country house was built on the hilltop here, with a castellated lodge copied from one at Blaise Castle near Bristol. After Cobden Bridge opened in 1883, its grounds became a popular spot for Sunday School outings from across the river.
Because Midanbury sits on a hill, some homes have steps, steep drives or sloping gardens. We check access before the day, and bring the right crew size and equipment.
Midanbury is a short drive from Bitterne, Bitterne Park, Townhill Park and Harefield, so many moves here are quick local jobs.

★★★★★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.
