Yes. Man and a Van Southampton covers all of Fair Oak in SO50, the village east of Bishopstoke, including Horton Heath. Our base in Southampton is about 30 minutes away, so we offer house removals, man and van hire, packing and long distance moves from Fair Oak 7 days a week.
Your local movers
Fair Oak lies east of Bishopstoke, and together with Horton Heath forms the parish of Fair Oak and Horton Heath in the Borough of Eastleigh. The village takes its name from an oak tree that stood on its green.
Once a small farming village, Fair Oak grew rapidly from the 1960s onwards, and new homes are still being built around Horton Heath.
Most Fair Oak moves are family houses and bungalows with drives, plus new-build homes around Horton Heath. We work around handover dates and site rules.
Fair Oak has fields and woodland around it but is only a short drive from Eastleigh, Hedge End and the 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.
