Trusted Locally
Lee Atkins is a family-run, independent Isle of Wight removals and storage company. We’re based at Broadfields Park in Merstone and have been moving island households and businesses since 1999. You might be moving from Ryde to Newport, heading across the Solent to the mainland, or need somewhere safe to keep your furniture while your completion dates catch up. Whichever it is, we’ll plan it properly, turn up when we say we will, and give you a clear price before we start.

Removals and storage services
Moving house on the island
Whether you’re going across town or to the other end of the island, our team does the heavy lifting. We can pack everything for you, or supply boxes and materials if you’d rather do it yourself. We’ll plan the day around your key collection and completion times.
Moving to the mainland
European and international removals
We regularly move clients to France, Spain, Germany and further afield. We’ll pack everything for long-distance transport, help you with the customs paperwork, and see your belongings through to delivery at your new home.
Storage
Our indoor container storage in Merstone is monitored 24 hours a day and suits anything from a few boxes to the contents of a whole house. It’s the simple answer when a sale and purchase don’t line up, or when you’re renovating and need the space.
Additional services
Car and vehicle storage
Secure storage for cars, caravans and motorbikes, short or long term.
Packing service
Choose a full or partial pack. We use quality boxes, bubble wrap and protective covers, and take extra care with fragile items, antiques and office equipment.
Cleaning Services
Lee Atkins Removals provides professional cleaning services to help leave your property fresh, tidy and ready for its next occupants. Ideal for end-of-tenancy cleaning, our service can cover kitchens, bathrooms, floors, surfaces and other key areas throughout the property.
drop-and-deliver
Getting items delivered to the Isle of Wight can sometimes be a challenge. Many suppliers and couriers do not ship directly to the island, leaving customers frustrated and stuck. That is why Lee Atkins Removals has introduced a convenient Drop & Deliver service, designed to make moving goods between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight simple, affordable, and stress-free.
Why islanders choose Lee Atkins
We know the island. After more than 25 years of local moves, we know the narrow lanes, the tricky access and the ferry timetables. That means fewer surprises on moving day. From navigating the steep residential roads around Ventnor and Bonchurch to planning vehicle access through the busy streets of Cowes, our team understands the challenges that come with moving across the Isle of Wight. We assess access carefully, choose suitable vehicles and plan each journey in advance, helping your move run smoothly wherever on the island you are going.
We work around you. We operate seven days a week and will always try to fit you in, even at short notice.
Fair, clear pricing. A house or office move shouldn’t break the bank. Your quote is free, and our modern vehicles and our own storage site keep our costs, and yours, down.
You deal with a local family business. When you call, you speak to the people who’ll be doing your move, not a national call centre.

Frequently Asked Questions
How will Lee Atkins Removals support my move?
When you choose Lee Atkins Removals, you can expect a dependable, flexible service shaped around your particular move. As a trusted local team, we help homeowners, renters and businesses move across the Island or relocate between the IOW and the mainland. Whether you are moving a few belongings or an entire property, everything will be carefully planned and handled with a clear understanding of Island travel, access and logistics.
What makes a reliable Isle of Wight removal company?
Choosing an Isle of Wight removal company is about more than hiring a van and a team. Island moves come with their own considerations, including ferry crossings, timing restrictions and access challenges that mainland companies often underestimate. We plan each move carefully so everything runs smoothly on the day.
Our experience allows us to create realistic schedules and contingency plans. As an Isle of Wight removal company, we factor in weather conditions, traffic patterns and property access from the outset. That preparation helps us avoid delays and ensures your belongings arrive safely and on time.
How does local knowledge make moving around the Island easier?
Choosing Lee Atkins Removals means working with a local team that understands the practical challenges of moving around the Isle of Wight. Familiarity with busy areas such as Newport and Ryde, as well as rural lanes and coastal properties, helps us choose suitable routes, plan for parking and prepare for awkward access. This knowledge allows your move to be organised more efficiently, with fewer unexpected difficulties on the day.
Will you tailor the removal service around my move?
No two house moves are exactly the same, so Lee Atkins Removals will shape the service around your property, belongings, schedule and destination. Based on the help you require, we can manage everything from a straightforward collection and delivery to a more complete move with packing support. From small flats to large family homes, our removals across the Isle of Wight can be scaled to suit the size and complexity of your move.
Throughout loading, transportation and unloading, our team uses professional equipment and careful handling techniques to protect your belongings. Your possessions will be treated with the same attention and respect that we would give our own.
How will my removal quote be calculated?
Before providing a quote, Lee Atkins Removals will take the time to understand the size of your move, the addresses involved, property access and any additional services you require. Each quotation is tailored to your circumstances, whether you are moving locally across the Island or relocating between the IOW and the mainland.
During the quotation process, we will explain your options and answer any questions you may have. You will receive clear information about what is included, with honest advice and no unexpected charges added later.
How will your removals team look after my move?
Lee Atkins Removals has built a strong reputation for reliable service, careful handling and genuine customer care. Recommendations from previous customers continue to bring many new clients to us, reflecting the positive experiences people have had when moving with our team. For every move across the Island or beyond, we focus on delivering what was agreed and keeping you informed throughout.
Throughout your office relocation or house move, our friendly and experienced team will provide practical support and treat your belongings with care. With the right people helping you, moving does not need to feel overwhelming.
Why should I choose Lee Atkins Removals as my Isle of Wight movers?
With Lee Atkins Removals, your move will be handled by an experienced local team that understands the practicalities of travelling around the Island and crossing to the mainland. Having worked throughout the IOW for many years, we can plan suitable routes, anticipate access difficulties and coordinate ferry connections carefully. Rather than treating every move in the same way, we provide personal support based on your property, schedule and individual requirements. Whether you are moving home, relocating an office or transporting belongings further afield, you can expect professional handling, friendly service and competitive pricing.
How far in advance should I arrange my move?
Booking as early as possible gives Lee Atkins Removals more opportunity to secure your preferred date and make the necessary arrangements. Moves between the Island and the mainland may require additional planning around ferry availability, while weekends and popular completion dates can become busy. If your plans change at short notice, contact us anyway, as we may still be able to accommodate your move depending on our schedule.
