Ivy needed a student move from Banister & Polygon to Swaythling, and Lifted handled the short hop carefully. The air conditioner, standing fan, and boxes of household items all went into the Transit, loaded in an hour and strapped in for the ten-minute drive across Southampton. Everything arrived in good shape, and Ivy followed up with a five-star review calling it "very very good". A straightforward local job done right.

Lifted picked up our customer's air conditioner, heater, monitor, and several bags of clothes and bedding from Bassett and moved them across the same neighbourhood in just 45 minutes. The short five-minute drive meant everything arrived quickly, but the real work was in the careful loading, getting the portable appliances and electronics safely into the Transit without any damage. A local Southampton job that came together smoothly.
John loaded a full 2-bed household from Melksham Forest into the Luton van over two hours, getting bedroom furniture, kitchen kit, and living room pieces ready for the move. The 50-minute run to Salisbury Bemerton Heath went smoothly, and everything arrived ready to unload. Sherry-Anne left a 5-star review saying John went above and beyond with the move, describing him as a genuine, authentic guy who made the whole job feel effortless.
“He was amazing. Went above and beyond with the move. A really genuine authentic guy.”
— Sherry-Anne
Jake needed his two sofas and coffee table moved from Downton & Ebble Valley to Gower, and Lifted got the furniture loaded in an hour. The journey took three hours forty-five minutes, and Jake followed up with a 5-star review, saying the driver was very helpful and solved a few challenges along the way. A straightforward local move that ran smoothly from start to finish.

John picked up a double bed, three-seater sofa, washing machine and boxes from storage in Chichester, loading the Transit in 2 hours with help on hand to get everything sorted. The washing machine came out at an interim stop in West Ashling, where he collected a coffee table and more boxes, then drove on to Beckenham to unload the full load. A multi-stop job that needed careful sequencing, and John kept everything moving smoothly across the two-hour-plus drive.
John took on a garden relocation from Clifton Down to Western Commons, moving three small trees in pots and a selection of patio planters. The loading took 45 minutes to arrange everything safely in the Transit, then a 2-hour-25-minute drive to get our customer's greenery settled into its new spot. The key was keeping the plants secure and upright for the journey, not a huge volume, but each pot needed careful placement to avoid damage on the road.
John took on a full household move from Tadley & Pamber to Tadley North, Kingsclere & Baughurst in the Basingstoke and Deane area. With a helper on board, he loaded the Luton van over three hours, then made the 40-minute drive to get our customer's entire home relocated in one run. The scale of a house move means coordinating bedrooms, kitchen, living areas, and John's methodical approach meant everything arrived ready to settle in. A solid day's work that got the household from one home to the next without fuss.
“Friendly and hardworking he helped with absolutely everything he possibly could I was very pleased he was here and his helper too.”
— Alison
Christopher needed his office relocated across Dorset, shifting filing cabinets, a large printer, and office supplies from Puddletown & Lower Winterborne to Chalk Valleys. John loaded everything into the Ford Transit over two and a half hours, then drove the short cross-county route to the new site. The move involved collecting items from a separate location and navigating to a tricky remote address, but John stayed patient and kept Christopher updated throughout. The job wrapped smoothly, and Christopher left a 5-star review praising John's knowledge and friendly approach under real-world pressure.
“He was very helpful, and knowledgable. The job was not simple, as it involved collecting things from a different person and delivering to me at a remote, hard to find location. John remained patient and friendly, and kept in contact as the job progressed.”
— Christopher
Leigh needed a bedroom and dining set moved from Amesbury South out to Southville in Bristol. John loaded the divan bed, grandfather clock, armchair and dining table into the Luton van in an hour and a half, then drove the three-hour-plus route across to the dropoff. The job came together quickly after a last-minute schedule shift, and Leigh left a five-star review noting John's helpfulness both during the load and when unloading at the other end.
“John took the job following a 'last minute' change. He was extremely helpful with the loading and unloading, and we got the job completed in great time.”
— Leigh
Lifted took on a long-haul move for two uni students heading from Winton East to Mersea and Pyefleet. The van was packed over two hours with walking pads, desk chairs, dual PC setups, and mostly clothing and soft items. Both customers rode along for the journey, which gave them seven and a half hours on the road. The careful packing meant everything arrived in good condition at the dropoff, ready for the students to unload and settle in.
Our customer needed a student move sorted from St Bartholomew to Frodsham, a fair trek that meant boxes, bags, a mirror and chair had to make the journey across the country. Lifted loaded everything into the Transit in an hour and a half, then settled in for the long drive. It was the kind of job that benefits from a flexible start time, and getting it done meant our customer could settle into their new place without the stress of coordinating last-minute logistics.
A final-year student picked up from Portswood in Southampton with three bags of clothes, a couple of boxes, monitor and mirror in tow. Isaac loaded everything into the Transit in 30 minutes, then drove the four-and-a-half-hour stretch to Barming Heath & Teston. The customer rode along for the journey, getting their end-of-year kit home without the stress of arranging separate transport. Straightforward job that got done in an afternoon.

Local drivers across every neighbourhood
Southampton is a port city with a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, modern waterfront apartments, and family housing across the wider area. Whether you’re moving from a flat near the city centre or Ocean Village, relocating from a house in Shirley, Portswood, or Bitterne, or downsizing to a smaller property in Woolston or Sholing, we help you find local drivers who know the city and can assist with your move.
We cover all types of moves across Southampton and the surrounding area. If you need a full house move, help with a flat clearance, assistance shifting furniture between properties, or someone to transport appliances, we connect you to drivers with vans suited to the job. The city’s varied housing means moves range from compact flats near the universities to larger family homes in the suburbs, with drivers experienced in navigating the city’s busy roads and port traffic.
We also cover nearby areas including Portsmouth, Hampshire, Winchester, Bournemouth, and Isle of Wight. Southampton’s position on the M27 and M3 makes it exceptionally well connected for moves across the South Coast and beyond. Local drivers regularly help with relocations around the city centre, Southampton General Hospital, and the retail areas near WestQuay and Marlands. The busy streets around Portswood Road, Shirley High Street, and the Avenue see regular moving activity, while residential areas in Bassett, Swaythling, and Thornhill have steady demand. The two universities create student moving peaks at term times, while the port and cruise industry attract workers relocating for maritime careers.
The wider Hampshire and South Coast region is easily accessible from Southampton. Drivers based here regularly help with moves across the city and into neighbouring areas like Eastleigh, Romsey, and across to the Isle of Wight ferries, whether you’re relocating locally or heading further afield. We make it simple to compare available drivers, choose the right van size, and find someone who suits your specific requirements.
