Moving in Portsmouth: An Insider's Guide to Island City Logistics

Moving in Portsmouth is an experience like no other. As a vibrant and densely packed island city, its unique geography creates some specific challenges that are worth knowing about before your moving day. Our local man and van crews have years of experience navigating the city, and we've put together their top tips to help your move go off without a hitch.

Your Insider Guide to a Hassle-Free Move in Pompey

Here's our insider guide to a hassle-free move in Pompey:

  • Island Logistics and Traffic: Remember, most of Portsmouth is on Portsea Island. This means the main roads leading in and out, like the M275 and the A3, can get very congested, especially during rush hour and on sunny summer weekends. Our local man and van partners always plan their routes to avoid these peak times, ensuring a more efficient journey for your house removal.
  • Dense Residential Parking: Parking in popular areas like Southsea is famously challenging due to the high density of terraced housing. To avoid delays, securing a space for the van is vital. Having a friendly chat with your new neighbours or applying for a parking suspension from Portsmouth City Council can be a real game-changer on the day.
  • Always Check for Major Events: Portsmouth is a city that loves an event, from the Victorious Festival on Southsea Common to shows at the Guildhall. These can often lead to widespread road closures. Our man and van removal services always recommend checking the local What's On guide before your moving day to avoid any surprises.
  • Naval Base and Dockyard Access: As the proud home of the Royal Navy, access around the Historic Dockyard and naval base is carefully controlled. If your move is in or near this area, let our network of local operators know. Our experienced teams are familiar with the procedures required for a smooth and secure process.

This kind of insider knowledge is what separates a standard moving service from a true local expert. It's how our man and van removal services take the stress out of moving in a city as busy and complex as Portsmouth.

Portsmouth Moving FAQ

Here are some of our most frequently asked questions on moving with a man and van service in Portsmouth...

Our man with a van service in Portsmouth starts as low as £20/hour, depending on your specific requirements and factors such as: Van size and number of movers:

  • Small van with one mover: ideal for single items or small flat moves.
  • Medium van with one or two movers: suitable for a one- or two-bedroom flat.
  • Large van (Luton) with two movers: best for larger moves or house relocations. Other factors include:
    • Distance of the move
    • Additional services (such as furniture assembly or packing)
    • Parking arrangements or congestion charges, especially in busy city centre areas

This ensures your items are safely insured while in transit, giving you complete peace of mind throughout your move.

We only work with trusted, vetted drivers who meet strict professional standards, so you can rest assured that your move in Portsmouth is handled by experienced professionals.

Although we do recommend you book in advance for a flat or house removal for your peace of mind, man and van services are all about speed and flexibility. Our network of providers means that we can often do same-day moves for a similar price as if you’d booked in advance.

In contrast, most traditional removal companies recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance to secure your moving date and allow time for surveys, logistics planning and resource allocation.

We don't provide storage ourselves, but we'll help you find the best local options. At Find My Man & Van, our focus is on fast, reliable moving services — we don't offer storage directly. However, we understand that short-term storage is often part of the moving process.

Whether you're downsizing, between homes, on a university term break, or simply need time to settle in, there are plenty of self-storage facilities available in Portsmouth. To make things easier, here are a few reputable options to get you started:

  • Safestore With over 135 locations across the UK, Safestore offers secure and flexible personal, business, and student storage.
  • Access Self Storage Operating in over 50 locations nationwide, Access Self Storage provides flexible, secure storage solutions for personal and business needs.

If you need to make a stop on the way to leave items in storage, just add it in your booking and make sure you clearly label any items to be delivered.
