Removals in Bournemouth, including the parking.
We're a small family-run removal company based just down the road in Poole, and we move people right across Bournemouth - every postcode from BH1 to BH11. Town-centre flats, Boscombe terraces, Southbourne family homes and everything in between.
Every Bournemouth postcode, BH1 to BH11.
We're ten minutes from most of these and we've moved people in all of them. If your street isn't listed, it's still almost certainly covered - just ask.

The parking permit most people don't know about.
This is the thing that catches people out in Bournemouth. If your street has residents' parking or a loading restriction, a removal van can't simply turn up and sit there for the day. BCP Council runs a scheme for exactly this, and it's called something different in each of the three towns.
In Bournemouth it's the Contractors parking dispensation. In Christchurch it's the Tradesmen parking dispensation scheme, and in Poole it's a daily parking waiver. Same idea, three different names and three different forms - which is why it's worth sorting before the day rather than on it.
- ✦Apply at least three days before your move
- ✦Issued for a maximum of two weeks at a time
- ✦It's a virtual permit, so there's no paper to collect
- ✦Short notice? The council has a line for urgent jobs
- ✦Tell us your street and we'll tell you if you need one
Rules and fees are set by the council, not by us, and they do change. The current details are on BCP Council's contractors parking dispensation page.
We know which streets need a plan.
Bournemouth isn't one kind of move. What we bring, and how long we allow, depends a lot on where you are.
Victorian terraces
Around Boscombe, Springbourne and Pokesdown, most terraces have no off-street parking and a narrow hallway with a turn at the bottom of the stairs. We bring the smaller van where the street calls for it, and we'll sort the dispensation.
Flats and conversions
Charminster, Winton and the town centre are full of converted flats, plenty of them without a lift. We plan those on stair count rather than mileage, which is the honest way to quote them.
Clifftop and seafront
The East and West Cliff roads, Southbourne and Alum Chine come with narrow access, steep approaches and restricted loading. Worth a look before the day so nobody is improvising on the morning.
Family homes
Talbot Woods, Meyrick Park, Littledown and Queen's Park are mostly straightforward driveway jobs. These are the ones where a full pack the day before earns its money.
Student and short lets
Charminster, Winton and Springbourne turn over quickly around changeover, and most of those are one room rather than a whole house. A man and van early in the day usually beats waiting on a full crew.
Timing and traffic
Wessex Way and the seafront roads slow right down on a warm weekend, and parts of the town centre have their own loading windows. We start early where it helps, and we'll say so if a weekday would go easier.
