Removals in New Milton, Barton on Sea and Ashley
1st Choice Removals moves homes across New Milton and the BH25 postcode, including Barton on Sea and Ashley. We are a family-run removals and storage company based at Canford Business Park near Wimborne, moving local households since 1990.
New Milton and the BH25 postcode
New Milton is in Hampshire, just across the county border from Christchurch and on the edge of the New Forest. It has a BH postcode, so it falls within our free home visit area. We move homes in:
- New Milton town centre: the roads around the high street and the railway station
- Barton on Sea: the clifftop and coastal roads facing the Solent and the Isle of Wight
- Ashley: the residential area to the north, towards the A337 and the forest edge
- Old Milton and Bashley: the quieter roads around the town
New Milton is in the New Forest District Council area, and every BH25 address qualifies for a free home visit.
Moving from Dorset into Hampshire
Many of our New Milton moves start in Dorset, in Christchurch, Bournemouth or Ferndown. It is a short hop across the county line, but you will deal with a different council for parking and bin collections.
The A337 links New Milton with Christchurch and Lymington, and the A35 and A31 lead towards Ringwood. We plan routes and start times around local traffic.
If you are moving further afield from New Milton, we cover that too.
Barton on Sea and coastal homes
Barton on Sea is known for its clifftop position and sea views. Homes here include bungalows, chalet bungalows, larger detached houses and apartment blocks.
Seafront flats can have shared entrances, lifts and limited parking. We check all of this at the survey and protect communal areas as well as your own flat.
Sea air is hard on furniture that has been stored badly, so if you are storing items, our storage uses containers that are sealed at your door.
Bungalows, retirement homes and family houses
New Milton has a lot of bungalows and retirement housing, alongside family homes on residential estates. Many of our moves here involve downsizing, and others involve families moving to be near the coast and forest.
- We can pack everything, or just the fragile and awkward items, with unpacking and furniture dismantling and reassembly as optional extras charged on top
- We only move what you are keeping, and put the rest into storage while you decide
- Our crews dismantle and rebuild beds and wardrobes so they suit smaller rooms
Our decluttering and downsizing guide is a good place to start.
Access and parking in New Milton
Most New Milton homes have driveways, which makes loading straightforward. Apartment blocks and retirement developments are different: parking can be limited and there may be rules about when moves can happen.
On-street parking is managed by Hampshire County Council and New Forest District Council, so any suspension request goes to them rather than to Dorset Council. We tell you at the survey if anything needs to be arranged.
Family members can join the survey by phone if they cannot be there, so everyone knows the plan.

You are based in Dorset. Do you cover Hampshire?
Yes. New Milton is in Hampshire but has a BH postcode, and it is part of our local area. We move homes across the county border regularly, including to and from Christchurch, Bournemouth and Ringwood, and we offer free home visits in BH25.
Can you help me downsize in Barton on Sea or New Milton?
Yes, it is one of the most common moves we do in this area. We can pack for you, move only the items you are keeping, and put the rest into storage while you decide what to do with it. Our crews also dismantle and rebuild furniture to fit smaller rooms.
Who do I contact about parking for a removal in New Milton?
On-street parking in New Milton is managed by the local authorities in Hampshire, not Dorset Council. Most homes have driveways, so it is often not needed. We check parking and access at the survey and tell you if you need to arrange anything before moving day.
Can you store belongings for a New Milton move?
Yes. We have around 1,000 storage units across four local sites and use containerised storage, so your belongings are sealed in a container at your home. Storage can be short term between completions or longer term while you downsize or renovate.
