House removals and man and van hire in Bishopstoke, the village on the east bank of the River Itchen, across from Eastleigh.
Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Bishopstoke in SO50, the village across the River Itchen from Eastleigh. Our base in Southampton is about 25–30 minutes away, so we offer house removals, man and van hire, packing and long distance moves from Bishopstoke 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Bishopstoke sits on the east bank of the River Itchen, facing Eastleigh across the water. It's an old village, mentioned in the Domesday Book, that grew quickly once the railway works opened in Eastleigh in the late 1800s.
The Itchen Navigation, a historic canal towpath, runs along the river, and Stoke Park Woods lie to the north. Today Bishopstoke is mainly residential, with homes of every age.
Bishopstoke moves range from Victorian terraces near the river to post-war semis and newer estates. We check access and parking before the day.
Bishopstoke is just over the river from Eastleigh's town centre and station, so local moves are quick and moves further afield use the nearby M3 and M27.

★★★★★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.
