Everything we move

Removal services across Hampshire

Sorted by the kind of building rather than by service name, because a thatched cottage and a four-bed new-build need almost nothing in common from a crew.

Straddling two eras — an old cottage with a modern extension? Say so.

Older stock

Pre-1900 and rural property, where the building and the approach both constrain the job.

Pre-1900

Period and listed houses

Georgian, Victorian, thatch and timber

Winchester townhouses, Southampton and Portsmouth terraces, and the cottages across the Forest and the downland villages. Low doorways, uneven floors, tight winders, and often a conservation constraint on what can be parked where.

Cottages and rural properties

Lanes, tracks and gateways

Properties at the end of an unmade track or through a gateway built for a cart. The building is rarely the problem; getting a vehicle within carrying distance of it usually is.

Twentieth century

Interwar to modern estate housing — the straightforward majority of Hampshire.

1918–1980

Suburban house removals

Interwar and postwar semis

The bulk of Hampshire housing: bay-fronted semis and postwar estates across Eastleigh, Fareham, Havant, Basingstoke and the city suburbs. Drives, side access, and lofts and garages nobody has counted.

Post-1990

New-build and estate moves

Estates, flats and site rules

The large newer developments around Basingstoke, Andover, Whiteley and the city edges. Good access, narrow estate roads, and a management company with opinions about where a lorry may stand.

Any building

Jobs defined by the load rather than by the property.

Any era

Man and van

Part-loads and single pieces

Two crew and a van for a room, a single heavy item or a part-load. Common in the two cities and around the garrison towns, where a lot of what moves is less than a household.

Any era

Storage

Held between two addresses

Goods collected, listed and held while dates settle. Hampshire produces a lot of these gaps — posting dates, long country chains, and renovations on older properties that always run on.

How the figure is worked out

Four inputs, and urgency is not one of them. Volume — measured, not counted in bedrooms. Access at both ends, which in this county means the staircase and the lane as much as the parking. Packing depth. And whether anything is being held between dates.

That also makes quotes comparable. If you are comparing quotes, the first check is whether both firms measured the same volume and assumed the same amount of packing. A cheaper quote that expects you to pack the kitchen is not cheaper.

There are no prices anywhere on this site and no transit times on the overseas pages, because neither is knowable before a survey. Start on the quote form, or read the questions page.

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.
