Ocean Village · SO14 · Est. 2010
Careful moves for Ocean Village's marina-side apartments, with lift bookings, concierge rules and car-park access all planned before the day.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Ocean Village in SO14, including the marina-side apartment blocks and the streets towards Chapel and the Itchen Bridge. Our base on Hill Lane is about 10–15 minutes away, so we offer man and van hire, apartment removals, packing and collections in Ocean Village 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Ocean Village is Southampton's marina district, and most homes here are apartments in managed blocks. Moving in or out usually means working with a concierge or managing agent, booking a lift and using a set loading point.
We're used to those rules. Tell us your building and we'll fit our arrival to your lift slot, protect the shared corridors, and keep the loading area clear for your neighbours.
Many waterfront blocks have underground or gated car parks with height barriers, and a Luton removal van won't always fit. We check the loading point in advance, so the van isn't stuck at a barrier on the day.
Large sofas and wardrobes don't always fit in apartment lifts. We dismantle what we can, wrap everything in blankets, and carry larger pieces by the stairs where the building allows it.

Local know-how
Ocean Village has its own streets, buildings and rules. Here's what we plan for.
Most buildings have a concierge or managing agent with move-in rules, so we work to your booked time and loading point.
Underground and gated car parks often have height limits, so we check whether the van fits, or where else it can stop.
Moves across the river to Woolston often use the Itchen Bridge, a toll bridge, which we factor into the route and the quote.
Parking tip: if the van needs to stop on a council road in Ocean Village, contact Southampton City 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.
