Your local movers
Peartree takes its name from Peartree Green, an open space on high ground on the east bank of the River Itchen, looking across the water to St Mary's Church. It adjoins Woolston, Bitterne, Sholing and Merry Oak.
The area has a long history. Peartree House, built in the late 16th century partly from stone that the Romans had used at Clausentum, still stands, and the green has a church and two former schools.
Most Peartree moves are family houses and flats on the residential streets around the green. Some sit on sloping ground, so we check access and steps before the day.
Peartree is close to both the Itchen Bridge and Northam Bridge, so moves across the river to the city centre, St Mary's or Ocean Village are short and simple.

Local know-how
Peartree has its own streets, buildings and rules. Here's what we plan for.
Peartree Green sits on high ground above the Itchen, so some nearby streets slope. We plan for steps and steep drives.
The 16th-century Peartree House still stands, now surrounded by private housing.
The Itchen Bridge and Northam Bridge are both close, so we pick the quickest route for the time of day.
Parking tip: if the van needs to stop on a council road in Peartree, 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.
