1st Choice Removals moves homes across Verwood and the BH31 postcode, including Three Legged Cross and the surrounding heathland villages. We are a family-run removals and storage company based at Canford Business Park near Wimborne, moving local families since 1990, and every Verwood address qualifies for a free home visit.
Removals across Verwood
Verwood is a busy town on the edge of the Dorset heathland, with its own postcode, BH31. It is in the Dorset Council area.
- Verwood town: the roads around Station Road, Ringwood Road and Manor Road
- Three Legged Cross: the village to the south, towards Ferndown
- Edmondsham and Woolsbridge: rural roads and smaller settlements around the town
- Ebblake: the industrial estate on the eastern edge, where we also handle business moves
We often move Verwood families to and from Ferndown, Ringwood and Wimborne.
Verwood homes: modern estates and cul-de-sacs
Much of Verwood was built in the later part of the twentieth century and since, so a lot of homes are on estates of detached and semi-detached houses and bungalows. Many sit in cul-de-sacs with shared driveways or tight turning heads.
- We check where the vehicle can stop without blocking neighbours
- Tight turning spaces may suit a smaller vehicle or a shuttle
- Newer homes often have compact staircases, so we measure large items at the survey
It helps to let your neighbours know your moving date, especially if you share a drive.
Rural homes and heathland lanes
Around the edges of Verwood there are older cottages, smallholdings and homes on unmade or narrow lanes. These need a bit more planning than a house on an estate.
At the survey we look at lane width, gravel or soft ground, gateways and overhanging trees. We then choose a vehicle that can get close safely, and plan a shuttle if needed.
Outbuildings, workshops and garden equipment are all part of the survey too, so nothing is left behind.
Family moves and storage
Verwood is popular with families, and family moves come with lofts, garages and children's rooms. Our crews pack and load room by room, labelling as they go, so everything goes to the right place.
If you are between homes, or selling before you buy, we can hold everything in containerised storage. Your belongings are loaded into a sealed container at your home and not handled again until delivery.
Our moving house checklist and guide to moving with children and pets help you plan the weeks before.
How your Verwood move works
- Home visit: free, with absolutely no obligation. Book your free home visit.
- Quote: a clear written quote based on what we have seen, with no guesswork about access.
- Packing: use our packing service, or buy packing materials individually and pack yourself. Unpacking and furniture dismantling and reassembly are optional extras, charged on top.
- Moving day: the crew protects your home first, then loads room by room.
- Delivery: furniture is placed where you want it and beds are rebuilt, so the first night in your new home is easier.
Our family has run the business since 1990, and Chris and Fiona look after removals today.

My house is in a cul-de-sac with a shared drive. Is that a problem?
Not usually. We look at the turning space and parking at the survey and plan where the vehicle will stand. If space is tight, we may use a smaller vehicle or shuttle from a larger one. It helps to tell your neighbours your moving date so shared drives are kept clear.
Can you move a rural property near Verwood with a narrow lane?
Yes. We check lane width, ground conditions, gateways and overhanging trees at the survey. Then we choose a vehicle that can reach the property safely, or plan a shuttle. We also include outbuildings, workshops and garden equipment in the survey so the plan covers everything.
How much do removals in Verwood cost?
We do not publish set prices because every move is different. Your quote depends on how much you are moving, access at both addresses, the distance, and whether you want packing, storage or specialist handling. After a free home visit you receive a written quote by email, which you can accept online. Book your free home visit or call 01202 570970.
Can you store my belongings between Verwood house moves?
Yes. We have around 1,000 storage units across four local sites and use containerised storage. Your belongings are sealed into a container at your home and stay there until delivery. Storage can be for a few days between completions or longer while you look for the right home.
Do you only move people locally from Verwood?
No. As well as local moves around Verwood, Ferndown and Ringwood, we move people anywhere in the UK and abroad, including Europe, Australia, the USA and Canada. For shipping abroad, marine insurance must be arranged by the customer directly, and we explain that clearly at the quote stage.
