Bournemouth to Southampton Removals
Thirty-five miles up the A31 and M27 — our shortest long-distance run, and often a half-day rather than a full one.

Southampton is the shortest of our regular out-of-county runs — about thirty-five miles up the A31 and along the M27, forty minutes when the road is behaving. That makes it different from London or Bristol in one important way: it is often a half-day job rather than a full one, and there is usually room to do it same-day if you ring early enough.
The price is built the same way as any other job. A £25 call-out (£45 on Sundays), then £40 an hour for one person, £65 for two, £90 for a three-person Luton crew, with mileage at £1.20 a mile past the first ten. Stairs are £8 a flight.
Because the drive is short, the balance shifts even further towards the loading. On a run like this the time in the van is perhaps an hour of a job that might take four, so what really decides your bill is how much there is, how far it has to be carried at each end and whether we are packing for you. A single room from a Bournemouth flat to a Southampton one is a small job. A full house is not, however short the motorway leg looks.
Southampton itself is worth a word on access — the city-centre blocks and the streets around the university are permit-controlled and tight, and the docks-side developments often need a loading bay booked with the building manager. Tell us the address when you call and we will check before the day rather than discover it on the doorstep.
