1st Choice Removals Ltd is a removal company with more than 30 years of professional experience in the Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire areas.
"We were moving from Southampton to East Devon having been in the same place for 14 years. We'd never used a removals company before and, with an upright piano and plenty of musical instruments to shift, I'll admit to a little nervousness. With that in mind, I can't praise 1st Choice enough. The video survey was thorough and professional, communication was fantastic... and on the day, Tom and Steve were fantastic - they made the tricky part (the piano) look easy at either end, we're just the sort of good natured helpful chaps you'd want to have around during a home move, and... I've left it until we've been through every box before writing this... no breakages at all!"

We’ve worked out the average removal company cost in Southampton is £937. This is based on the most popular day to move house which is a Friday for our Southampton movers. As the most popular day, Friday is surprisingly not the cheapest day to move house. Tuesday takes the crown for the most expensive moving day, costing an average of £1,110. However, if Tuesday is the only day that best suits your schedule, don't forget to compare removal quotes to potentially save up to 70% on the overall cost.
If you’re moving house on a Sunday in Southampton, expect to pay an average of £717. With just 6% of moves taking place, removal companies offer a cheap moving day to help boost their work. However, with estate agents and conveyancers' offices closed on Sundays, we don’t think a Sunday move will increase in price or popularity any time soon.
