Romsey · SO51 · Est. 2010
House removals and man and van hire in Romsey, the historic market town on the River Test, and the villages around it.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Romsey in SO51, the market town on the River Test, home of Romsey Abbey and Broadlands. Our base in Southampton is about 15–20 minutes away, so we offer house removals, man and van hire, packing and long distance moves from Romsey 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Romsey is a market town on the River Test, north-west of Southampton. At its heart is Romsey Abbey, a great Norman church that has stood since the 12th century on the site of a much older nunnery.
Just south of the town is Broadlands, the country house that was home to Lord Palmerston and later Lord Mountbatten. The town centre keeps its market place, narrow streets and many listed buildings.
Romsey moves range from period townhouses and cottages near the Abbey to family homes on estates around the edge of town. We check access and parking for each.
The market place and narrow streets get busy, so we agree where the van will stop and plan loading times.

Local know-how
Romsey has its own streets, buildings and rules. Here's what we plan for.
The streets around the Abbey and market place are narrow, so we plan where the van stops.
The Test runs past the town, with quiet residential roads on the edges.
Romsey is in the Test Valley borough, so council tax and bins are handled by Test Valley Borough Council.
Parking tip: if the van needs to stop on a council road in Romsey, contact Test Valley Borough 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.
