House removals and man and van hire in Totton and Eling, the town on the west bank of the River Test, just across from Southampton.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Totton in SO40, the town on the west bank of the River Test, just across from Redbridge. Our base in Southampton is about 15 minutes away, so we offer house removals, man and van hire, packing and long distance moves from Totton 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Totton sits on the west bank of the River Test, across from Redbridge and Southampton. Together with neighbouring Eling it forms the town of Totton and Eling, the largest town in the New Forest district.
Eling, on a creek off the Test, is home to Eling Tide Mill, one of the few working tide mills left in the country, and the old toll bridge across Bartley Water.
Totton moves range from Victorian terraces near the centre to post-war family houses, bungalows and newer estates. We check access and parking before the day and give fixed quotes for full house removals.
Totton is just over the river from our Hill Lane base, so we're often with you in about 15 minutes, and local moves are quick to plan.

Eling's quay and tide mill sit on narrow lanes, so we plan where the van stops.
Redbridge Causeway links Totton to Southampton, so cross-river moves are short.
Totton is in the New Forest district, so council tax and bins are handled by New Forest District Council.

★★★★★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.
