Milford on Sea is a seaside village on the western Solent, a few miles west of Lymington. From its shingle beach there are views across to the Isle of Wight and the Needles.
Hurst Spit, a long shingle bank, runs out from the village to Hurst Castle, built by Henry VIII to guard the western entrance to the Solent. The village centre has a green, small shops and cafés.
Milford moves include bungalows, family houses and apartments near the sea front. We check access and parking for each, and protect shared hallways in apartment blocks.
We help many people downsizing to Milford on Sea, with packing, careful handling of special items, and storage if needed.

★★★★★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.
