Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Shirley in SO15, including Shirley High Street, Upper Shirley and the streets towards Regents Park and Freemantle. Our base is on Hill Lane in SO15, so we're usually about 5 minutes away, offering man and van hire, house removals, packing and collections in Shirley 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Shirley is a large residential district on the western side of Southampton, with the city's busiest suburban high street at its heart. Homes range from flats above shops and council houses near the centre to larger family houses in Upper Shirley.
Our base is on Hill Lane in SO15, so Shirley is our home patch. We know which side streets have room for a van, when the High Street gets busy, and how to reach most Shirley addresses in minutes.
Upper Shirley has many larger houses with more rooms and more furniture to move. We bring a 2–4 person crew, wrap furniture in blankets, and give a fixed quote for full house removals.
Flats above shops on Shirley High Street often have rear access and narrow stairs. We check the route before the day and plan where the van can legally 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.
