Man and van across Hampshire
Two crew and a van for the jobs a full removal would overserve. Common in the two cities, around the universities, and in the garrison towns, where a great deal of what moves is less than a household.
If you have a farmhouse with outbuildings, this is the wrong service and we will say so rather than quote it.
What comes with the van
Who books it here
Students and staff around the Southampton and Winchester universities, on a seasonal pattern with firm dates. Sharers in the city terraces moving one room at a time. Forces families around Aldershot, Farnborough and Gosport moving a part-load ahead of a posting.
And the tail end of bigger moves everywhere: the garage that got left, the second run to storage, the pieces that did not fit.
Single items across a long county
Hampshire is wide. A single item from Basingstoke to Lymington is a genuine drive, and for one piece it is often cheaper to join a run we are already making rather than commission a dedicated trip.
Ask. We will tell you honestly whether something is going that way soon, and if not we will quote the dedicated job rather than leaving you waiting.
Where it is the wrong call
Any real household, and anything rural with outbuildings. Booking man and van for a cottage with a barn produces three trips and a very long day, which costs more than the removal would have.
We will put you on the right service rather than the one you asked for, and we would rather lose the booking than take one that will not work.
Tell us the street and the floor
In Portsmouth and inner Southampton, where the van can stop determines what the job costs. On a modern estate there is usually a drive and it does not matter. Those two facts decide most small jobs here.

Questions about man and van
01 Is it really two people?
Yes. A job quoted for one that needs two goes badly for everyone. If your load genuinely is a few boxes, say so and we will scale it.
02 Can you come at short notice?
Often midweek. Fridays, month-ends and the start of university terms are hardest. Ask and we will tell you what we actually have.
03 Do you take single items the length of the county?
Yes, and it is worth asking whether it can join a run we are already making — Hampshire is wide enough that this saves real money.
04 Can you clear rubbish too?
A drop at a charity shop or recycling centre, yes. Licensed waste clearance needs a waste carrier and we will say so when that is what you need.
05 Do I need to help carry?
No. The job is quoted on us doing the work.
Tell us when the house was built
That, the two addresses, and what the approach looks like. Three answers and we can tell you something useful; anything less and we would be guessing.
