Removals in Portsmouth – Planned Home and Business Moves
The right removals service depends on property size, volume, access, distance, and any packing support needed. Share your move details to plan the right level of help.
If you’re between sizes, choose the larger option — it can help avoid needing a second trip.
| Van size | Typical removals use | Approx. box guide* | Typical contents |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small van | Room move / bedsit with minimal contents | ~10–15 medium boxes | Clothes, bags, a few boxes, and a small number of smaller furniture items. Best if you’re moving light and don’t have bulky pieces. |
| MWB (medium) van | Studio / light 1-bed flat | ~15–25 medium boxes | Bed (often dismantled), small sofa, drawers, TV, and boxed kitchen items. A good fit for compact moves with some furniture. |
| LWB (large) van | 1-bed flat / larger studio / partial 2-bed | ~25–40 medium boxes | Bed, sofa, table, wardrobe, appliances, plus boxes. Ideal when you want more breathing room and fewer compromises on packing. |
| 3.5T Luton van | 2-bed flat / 2–3 bed home (volume-dependent) | ~45–70 medium boxes | Multiple large furniture items (sofas, wardrobes, dining set), appliances and a full set of boxes. The tall box body is well suited to larger removals loads and bulky furniture. |
*Box counts are indicative. Capacity depends on item dimensions, how furniture is dismantled, packing materials used, and how items can be stacked safely. Listing your key items in the quote form will give you the best match.
How to choose the right size (and avoid an extra trip)
- Count boxes realistically: include loft/garage/storage items and anything in cupboards.
- Bulky items reduce capacity fast: wardrobes, mattresses, large sofas, bikes, gym equipment and white goods.
- Dismantling helps: taking beds/wardrobes apart can make loading safer and more space-efficient.
- If you’re “between sizes”, size up: it’s usually cheaper than running out of space on moving day.
- For very full 3-bed+ homes or heavy/bulky contents, you may need more time, more helpers, or multiple trips depending on volume and access.

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 removals 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 peak-time and on sunny summer weekends. Our local removals 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 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 team 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 removal services take the stress out of moving in a city as busy and complex as Portsmouth.
