Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Bishop's Waltham in SO32, the market town between Southampton and Winchester, home of the Bishop's Palace ruins.

Your local movers
Bishop's Waltham is a small market town near the source of the River Hamble. For centuries it was a residence of the Bishops of Winchester, and the ruins of their medieval palace, now in the care of English Heritage, still stand by the town pond.
The town centre keeps its Georgian and older buildings along the High Street, Basingwell Street and Houchin Street, while newer homes have grown up on its edges.
Bishop's Waltham moves range from listed homes in the centre to family houses on newer estates. We check access and parking for each before the day.
The town centre streets are narrow and busy, so we plan where the van stops and keep loading times short.

★★★★★I used this to move within Southampton, and then out of Southampton a few years later, and both times it was a very positive experience. From first message to the last box leaving the truck, I was assured about the move.
