Portsmouth man and van, island moves and more

Portsmouth is a dense island city of Victorian terraces, flats and student rooms, so our man and van service in Portsmouth is busy with student moves, single items and flat moves. Large vans are a popular choice. You choose the van and time online, and the price is on screen before you confirm your booking.

Tell us about parking when you book. Many streets are lined with terraces and resident bays, and our crews plan around them. The motorway and the A3(M) link the island to the mainland for longer jobs. Our insured movers bring blankets, straps and tools, and the same crews offer house removals, furniture delivery and clearances.

What customers near Portsmouth say

Mar 2025

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 Portsmouth

What our Portsmouth crews plan for

What makes the difference on moving day in Portsmouth, based on our 13 local jobs.

Parking on a crowded island

Portsmouth is one of the most densely built cities in the UK, and Victorian terraces often have no driveway. Check your resident permit zone before booking, and ask a neighbour or the council about a suspension if the van needs the kerb.

Stairs in terraces and flats

5 of our 13 Portsmouth jobs had stairs at one end. Tall Southsea terraces and converted flats make that likely, so tell us the floor, whether there is a lift and how wide the hallway is.

Best days to book

Across the UK, Saturday is our busiest day (25% of jobs) and Tuesday the quietest (10%). August is the busiest month nationally and January the quietest, so midweek and winter slots are easiest to get.

Getting on and off Portsea Island

Only a few roads cross onto the island: the M275 into the city centre, the A27 along the northern edge and the A2030 Eastern Road. Allow extra time when ferry traffic backs up near the Gunwharf and harbour areas.

Flats near Gunwharf and the dockside

Newer blocks around Gunwharf Quays and the harbour may have lifts, loading bays or concierge rules. Ask your building manager when lift booking is allowed, and tell us if the van has to park some way from the door.
