Removals in Southampton
Southampton moves can involve a toll bridge, a ferry to the Isle of Wight and SO postcodes that reach Winchester and the New Forest. Here's what to plan for.
Compare removal companies - start with your postcode, then list what you're moving online. Prices can change until you book.
Southampton postcode areas
- SO
The SO postcode area covers Southampton plus Eastleigh, Romsey, Totton, Winchester and Lymington on the edge of the New Forest. The Isle of Wight uses PO postcodes.
Parking for the removal van
Inside the city, ask Southampton City Council. Outside it, Hampshire County Council looks after roads and your district council may handle parking - check the council website for the address.
- Southampton City Council: the city of Southampton
- Hampshire County Council: roads in the rest of Hampshire
- Your district council: such as Eastleigh, Test Valley, New Forest or Winchester
Planning a move in Southampton
Itchen Bridge
The Itchen Bridge, between the city centre side and Woolston, charges a toll for most vehicles. Ask whether quotes include it if your route crosses it.
Isle of Wight moves
Moving to or from the Isle of Wight means a vehicle ferry, such as Red Funnel's Southampton to East Cowes crossing. Tell companies early - the crossing affects timing and price.
