St Mary's · SO14 · Est. 2010
Local man and van hire and removals across St Mary's, from flats near St Mary Street to homes close to the stadium, planned around match days and student terms.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of St Mary's in SO14, including St Mary Street, Golden Grove, Six Dials and the streets near St Mary's Stadium. Our base on Hill Lane is about 10 minutes away, so we offer man and van hire, flat and house removals, student moves and collections in St Mary's 7 days a week.
Your local movers
St Mary's is one of Southampton's oldest neighbourhoods, just east of the city centre. It's home to St Mary's Church and the Golden Grove estate, with a mix of flats above shops, terraced houses, council blocks and student lets close to Solent University.
That mix means no two St Mary's moves are the same. We check stairs, lifts and parking before the day, and bring the crew size that suits the property.
When Southampton FC play at home, traffic and parking around St Mary's Stadium get much busier. We check the fixture list when you book, and plan the move time so we're not loading during the match-day rush.
Solent University's main campus is close by, so many St Mary's moves are students moving between halls and shared houses. We book these early because the end and start of term fill up fast.

Local know-how
St Mary's has its own streets, buildings and rules. Here's what we plan for.
Home games bring heavy traffic and parking restrictions near the stadium, so we time moves to avoid kick-off and the crowds leaving.
Flats above shops on and around St Mary Street often have narrow stairs and rear access, so we check the route before the day.
Shared houses and halls near the university mean busy weeks in June and September, so book these moves early.
Parking tip: if the van needs to stop on a council road in St Mary's, 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.
