Student-friendly man and van in Portswood

Portswood is close to the University of Southampton’s Highfield campus, so student moves are common for a man and van in Portswood. Expect bikes, mattresses, desks, boxes of books and a fridge for the shared house. Book a van for move-in or move-out day, list what you have and see the price before you confirm.

Terraced streets off Portswood Broadway fill with parked cars, and moves cluster at the end of term, so book early. Swaythling and St Denys stations are nearby for those without a car. Our insured movers carry with care and can also help with furniture delivery and clearances when the lease ends.

Kaivan and his team were fantastic! They were able to book me in fairly last minute for a long distance house move. They arrived promptly on the day, were very hard working, polite and professional. I would highly recommend them all. Thank you guys

Very professional, prompt and patient. I set everything up the afternoon before the move, which was in the morning, and received a fair price.

Moving in Portswood SO17

What our Portswood SO17 crews plan for

What helps on moving day in Portswood, based on our 5 local jobs.

Student terraces and tight streets

Houses off Portswood Road and Highfield Lane are tight terraces with limited parking. Moves cluster in June, July and September, so book early and tell us if cars are likely to block the road.

Stairs and lifts

3 of our 5 Portswood jobs had stairs at one end. Shared houses and flats often have steep stairs and no lift, so give us the floor and any awkward turns when you book.

Best days to book

Across the UK, Saturday is our busiest day (25% of jobs) and Tuesday the quietest (10%). That is a national pattern, but weekday bookings are easier around Portswood, especially outside term-end weeks.

Portswood Road and the Broadway

Portswood Road is the main spine through the district, with buses, shops and heavy traffic at rush hour. Plan to load before the evening peak, and agree a stopping place close to the house.

Routes to the M3 and M27

From Portswood, the A335 Thomas Lewis Way and the A33 lead to the M3 and M27. Expect delays at peak times, and avoid university move-out weekends if your dates are flexible.
