About BH5 — coverage and access
BH5 runs along Christchurch Road from Boscombe through Pokesdown to the Southbourne boundary, with Boscombe Pier and the Spa at the seaward end. It is the highest-turnover postcode we work in: a great deal of rented accommodation, Victorian houses split into flats, and HMOs on the side streets off Ashley Road, which means short-notice moves, part-loads and end-of-tenancy work rather than big family removals. For street-level detail the pages to read are Boscombe and, just east, Southbourne.
Our base is inside BH5's boundary on Christchurch Road, so there is no travel charge and we can often be with you within the hour — this is the postcode where a genuine same-day call-out is most likely to be possible. The catch here is loading rather than distance. Christchurch Road itself has bus lanes and clearway restrictions through the middle of the day, and the residential streets running off it are permit-controlled with cars parked both sides. We know which end of each street tends to open up and we plan around the bus lane hours. Ring with the street name and we will tell you the best time to book.

"Even after confirming and reminding for my daughters move who is a student there was no show. Robert never showed up nor picked up my call and no reply to any messages. Ridiculously bad experience as we were stuck in a very bad situation of finding another source for the pick up and deliver her stuff . Not a trustworthy deal . I would atleast have a reason for not showing up at all and ignoring me . Be aware and thanks Robert for all the trouble my daughter has to face."
