House removals in Portsmouth and Southsea

Most Portsmouth removals come with a parking question. Terraced streets in Fratton and Southsea, permit zones near the seafront and flats with no lift all need sorting before the day, so Bill plans access at both ends first.

  • A clear price before the day, with nothing added on after
  • Furniture taken apart and put back together at your new place
  • Packing help if you’d rather not do it yourself
  • Goods-in-transit cover on every move

We do house removals across the city, from Old Portsmouth to Cosham, and out to Portchester, Havant and Waterlooville, plus office moves for local businesses. Leaving Portsmouth? Ask us about longer-distance moves.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a man with a van cost in Portsmouth?
It depends on a few things: how much you are moving, how far it is going, access at both ends and whether you would like help with packing. Rather than guess at a figure that might not fit your move, fill in the quick quote form below and Bill will come back to you promptly with a clear, honest price. No hidden costs, no surprises.
What areas do you cover from Portsmouth?
We are based in Portsmouth and cover the whole city, from Old Portsmouth and Southsea up to Cosham and Drayton, plus Portchester, Havant, Emsworth, Waterlooville and Hayling Island. If you are not sure whether we cover your route, just get in touch. We are happy to talk about longer distance moves too.
Do you help with packing and unpacking?
Yes. Whether you need help wrapping fragile items, boxing everything up before the move or unpacking at the other end, we can take care of it. Just let us know when you get in touch and we will include it in your quote.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes, moves carried out by Your Man With A Van Portsmouth are covered by goods in transit insurance, so your belongings are protected on the road. If you have any high value items, mention them when you book and we will make sure they get extra care.
How far in advance should I book a man with a van in Portsmouth?
The earlier the better, especially for weekends and the end of the month, which fill up quickly. That said, we will always try to fit in last minute bookings where we can. If your move date is close, give us a call and we will see what we can do.
What should I expect on moving day?
The team will arrive at the agreed time, ready to get going. We will load everything carefully, take it safely to your new address and unload at the other end. Parking on Portsmouth’s terraced streets can be tight, so let us know about permits or access when you book and we will plan around it.
Do you help with moves to and from the Isle of Wight?
Yes, we can help you move belongings to and from the Isle of Wight. We will plan the day around the ferry times so nothing is left waiting at the terminal. Just mention it when you ask for a quote and we will sort out the details.
Can you handle moves in historic buildings or flats without lifts?
Yes. Portsmouth has plenty of period properties, narrow staircases and top floor flats with no lift, and they are all part of the job. Let us know about any tricky access when you book and we will come prepared.
Do you help students at the University of Portsmouth?
Definitely. We offer flexible, affordable moves for students, whether you are moving into halls at the start of term or clearing out at the end of the year. Have a look at our flat moves and single item moves.
Can you help with moves to seaside properties or within Southsea?
Yes, we cover moves to and from Southsea, including seafront flats and homes near Southsea Common. Parking near the seafront can be tight, so tell us about permits or loading spots when you book and we will plan around it.
