Prices are estimates. Your final quote will depend on the size of the move, access, distance, date and services required.

What changes the price

  • Portsea Island traffic, Southsea parking restrictions, and upper-floor or terrace access can increase loading and travel time.
  • Packing, dismantling, additional crew, and long carries from narrow streets change the final price.
  • M275, M27, and A3 congestion plus routes towards Fareham, Gosport, or Waterlooville affect journey allowances.

Access and route notes

  • Confirm legal loading space, floor level, stairs, and carry distance for Gunwharf, Old Portsmouth, and Southsea addresses.
  • Share any naval-base or dockyard access requirements, identification rules, and timed entry details before moving day.
  • For terraced streets, provide doorway and parking photos and identify furniture that may need dismantling.

Before you book

  • Compare the same inventory, packing level, access details, crew size, and move date across every quote.
  • Ask whether parking, waiting time, dismantling, mileage, and M275 or M27 travel time are included.
  • Use the instant estimate to plan, then request final quotes through MAZE before booking.
