Long distance removals · Est. 2010
Moving out of Hampshire? We cover the whole journey to anywhere in the UK, with the same crew from start to finish and a fixed quote.
Man and a Van Southampton plans the route, the access at both ends and how the van is loaded, then gives you a fixed quote based on distance and volume. The same crew loads your home, drives the whole journey and unloads at your new home within an agreed arrival window, with no hand-off to a third party.
UK-wide moves
Relocating out of Hampshire? Whether you're moving to London, Manchester, Scotland or anywhere in between, our long distance removal service covers the full journey.
Long distance moves need a bit more planning than a local job. We take the time up front to understand the route, the access at both ends and the best way to organise the load, so nothing shifts on a long drive.
You get the same careful loading, the same protective blankets and straps, and the same crew from start to finish. There's no hand-off to a third party halfway through.
We agree an arrival window with you, so there are no long waits at either end of the journey, and no vague "sometime in the afternoon".

Everything for a safe journey, with optional extras when you need them.
Both addresses checked before the day.
The right size van and experienced movers.
Every item wrapped and secured for motorway distances.
The team that loads is the team that unloads.
You know when we'll be at your new home.
Insured from collection to delivery.
Our team packs your home before departure.
Beds and wardrobes rebuilt at your new home.

How it works
Six steps from your first call to unloading at your new home.
Tell us both addresses, your date and home size. Your quote is fixed on distance and volume.
We check the route, parking and access at both ends.
Pack yourself, or book our packing service the day before.
Everything is wrapped, strapped and loaded so nothing shifts in transit.
The same crew drives the whole way, with no hand-offs.
We arrive in the agreed window and unload into the right rooms.
Local know-how
Starting from our base on Hill Lane, we know the best way out of the city and onto the motorway network.
Most long distance moves leave Southampton on the M3 towards London, the A34 towards the Midlands, or the M27 along the south coast.
We plan departure times to avoid rush hour on the M3 and the M25, so your belongings arrive within the agreed window.
Regular routes include London, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and Scotland, as well as moves into Southampton from elsewhere.
Tip: check the parking and access at your new address too. If it's a city street, ask the local council there about a parking bay suspension for the day.
Long distance checklist
What to do and when, so the big day runs smoothly.
Long distance dates book up early, especially at weekends.
Less to move means a smaller van and a lower quote.
Check parking and access at your new address.
Set up Royal Mail redirection and update your address.
Finish packing, or let our team pack the day before.
Keep documents, medicines and chargers with you.

★★★★★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.
