Moving abroad from Old Trafford
Hours, miles and one crossing — shown in full
European removals in Old Trafford run door to door on a dedicated vehicle. We price the UK leg to the Kent terminal, the crossing, and the continental leg to your new address, using the published rate card: £45/hr or £65/hr for the crew, £1.50 per mile, and 1.5 hours of handling built in.
Large Victorian and Edwardian terraces with tiled paths and bays, interwar semis, and new apartment blocks along the Chester Road corridor. That stock decides the crew size long before the distance does — a top-floor conversion with no lift is a two-mover job whether the van is going to Salford or Seville.
Staying in the UK? Long distance moves from Old Trafford use the same rate card without the crossing.

No hidden maths
How a Old Trafford European estimate is worked out
Step 1
UK leg to the terminal
Measured road miles from your Greater Manchester address to the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone.
Step 2
Continental leg from Calais
Measured road miles from Calais to the destination city, added to the UK leg.
Step 3
Hours at 50 mph plus 1.5
Total miles converted to driving hours at a blended average that allows for the terminal wait, then the standard loading and unloading allowance is added.
Step 4
Rate, mileage and the crossing
£45/hr solo or £65/hr for two movers, plus £1.50 a mile and one crossing at about £180.
The formula: (UK miles + continental miles ÷ 50 mph + 1.5 hrs) × your hourly rate + (total miles × £1.5) + one crossing at £180. A 700-mile run to Paris or Brussels is therefore about 15.5 billable hours plus £1,050 of travel and the ticket.
What the price buys
What is included from Old Trafford
One crew, both countries
The team that loads in Old Trafford is the team that unloads at your European address. No depot handover, no groupage warehouse, no second set of hands on your furniture.
Crossing booked for you
Eurotunnel from Folkestone or the Dover–Calais ferry, reserved in advance and itemised at about £180 for the van and crew rather than buried in a round number.
1.5 hours handling included
Every estimate carries 90 minutes of loading and unloading. Additional time runs in 15-minute blocks at the same hourly rate.
Customs documents prepared
CMR consignment note, an itemised valued inventory and the transfer-of-residence forms your destination country asks for — drafted with you before the van moves.
Export-grade protection
Double-wall cartons, blankets, wardrobe rails, mattress bags and edge protection travel with every Old Trafford load, plus dismantle here and rebuild there.
Insured the whole way
Goods-in-transit cover and European liability apply from the first lift in Greater Manchester to the last box placed abroad.
Border paperwork, handled
Customs documents for a move from Old Trafford
Since 2021 a UK–EU household move is an export. It is routine when the paperwork is right and expensive when it is not, so we prepare it with you before the van leaves Old Trafford.
CMR consignment note
The international road-haulage document that travels with the load. We complete it and you sign it at collection and again at delivery.
Itemised, valued inventory
A numbered packing list in English with values. It is what customs read and what any insurance claim is settled against, so it is worth an hour of your time.
Transfer of residence relief
If you are moving your home rather than shipping goods, most EU states waive duty on used personal effects owned for six months. We tell you which national form applies.
Proof of address at both ends
A tenancy agreement, deed or utility bill for the destination address, plus your Greater Manchester address, satisfies most border checks.
Restricted items
Alcohol above personal allowances, plants, seeds, meat, dairy, fuel, gas bottles and aerosols either cannot travel or need a declaration. We flag them at survey.
Pets, vehicles and firearms
These move under separate rules and are never carried on the removals van. We will point you to the right carrier rather than take the booking.
Move day, start to finish
How a European move from Old Trafford runs
Stage 1
Survey and fixed quote
A video or on-site survey confirms the inventory, the access and the crew size, and the estimate becomes a fixed door-to-door price with the crossing itemised. Match-day crowds, Seymour Park, the Somali and Caribbean communities along Ayres Road and Stretford Road's independents — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Stage 2
Paperwork week
CMR note, valued inventory and any transfer-of-residence form are drafted, checked and signed while the crossing slot is reserved. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Old Trafford or across to Stretford.
Stage 3
Load day
Crew arrives inside a one-hour window, protects floors and frames, dismantles beds and flat-pack and loads to an export plan. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Old Trafford or across to Stretford.
Stage 4
Crossing
Tunnel or ferry with the load sealed on the same vehicle. Nothing is trans-shipped and no one else's furniture joins it. Trafford Council loading rules on the M16 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Stage 5
Continental run
The same crew drives the European leg with a tachograph-legal schedule, and you get a delivery window the day before arrival. Roughly 7,900 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Stage 6
Unload and rebuild
Boxes go to the right rooms, furniture is rebuilt, the CMR is signed off and packing debris leaves with the van. Local context matters here: laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks; lancashire county cricket club moved here in 1857 and united in 1910, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
What the fixed price covers
Inside a Old Trafford European booking
- Same crew loads in Greater Manchester and unloads at the European address
- Eurotunnel or Dover–Calais crossing booked, itemised and included in the quote
- CMR paperwork, transfer of residence list and customs documentation prepared with you
- Beds, wardrobes and flat-pack dismantled here and rebuilt at the other end
- Export-grade cartons, blankets, straps and wardrobe rails carried on every load
- Goods-in-transit and European liability cover for the whole journey
Access, parking and timing
Loading in Old Trafford: what the crew plans for
Large Victorian and Edwardian terraces with tiled paths and bays, interwar semis, and new apartment blocks along the Chester Road corridor. That stock, the street it sits on and the Trafford Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
Before you accept the quote
Floor and lift, stair turns, parking distance and anything oversized — those four set the price of a European relocation here far more than the M16 postcode does. Show us all four on the video survey and the figure is fixed. In Old Trafford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Timing a European move in Old Trafford
We schedule Old Trafford jobs so the loading window sits outside the Trafford rush; end-of-month Fridays are the first dates to go, so book those two to three weeks out where you can. Booked most often on the M16 streets around Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground.
Parking the van in M16
Parking is arranged before the date is confirmed: we check the restriction on your street with Trafford Council, book a suspension or a permit bay if the carry would otherwise be long, and tell you at survey what it adds. Match-day crowds, Seymour Park, the Somali and Caribbean communities along Ayres Road and Stretford Road's independents — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
How Old Trafford homes actually load
Lift bookings and loading-bay slots decide the day here: we confirm the concierge window before the crew leaves the depot, and carry protection for lift cars and communal carpet as standard. Trafford Council loading rules on the M16 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Booked here week to week
Jobs we run most often in Old Trafford
If one of these looks like yours, say so when you enquire — we will quote it from the closest job we have already done in Trafford rather than starting from a blank form.
One man and van, £45/hr
Part loads to an EU city from M16
A room or a studio's worth of contents heading abroad at £45 an hour plus mileage, instead of paying a full container rate for half a van. Local context matters here: laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks; lancashire county cricket club moved here in 1857 and united in 1910, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Crossing itemised
Old Trafford to France, Belgium or the Netherlands
A one- or two-day run: loaded here, through the tunnel the same evening and unloaded at the European address, with the crossing itemised rather than hidden in a round number. Local context matters here: laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks; lancashire county cricket club moved here in 1857 and united in 1910, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Dedicated van
Job or study move out of Trafford
Fixed collection window and a named delivery date you can give a landlord or a university, with the mileage, hours and ferry or tunnel ticket shown as separate lines on the quote. Local context matters here: laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks; lancashire county cricket club moved here in 1857 and united in 1910, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Customs papers included
Family relocation to Spain, Italy or Portugal
Two movers at £65 an hour, export-grade cartons, dismantle here and rebuild there, with the CMR note and valued inventory prepared before the van leaves Old Trafford. Booked most often on the M16 streets around Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground.

European moves in Old Trafford: local proof
Old Trafford is not a generic Trafford postcode to us: inner Trafford district between the two famous grounds and Manchester's south-west edge, and that shapes how a european move in Old Trafford actually runs here. The place looks the way it does for a reason: laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks.
Locally, chester Road traffic film and match-day litter grey frontages within weeks, so we bring the products and dwell times that problem needs. We work around match-day crowds when we set arrival windows in M16. Coverage runs across M16 and the Trafford streets either side of it.

About Old Trafford
Inner Trafford district between the two famous grounds and Manchester's south-west edge, with grand Victorian streets and heavy match-day traffic. Laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks; Lancashire County Cricket Club moved here in 1857 and United in 1910.
Match-day crowds, Seymour Park, the Somali and Caribbean communities along Ayres Road and Stretford Road's independents. The best-known landmark is Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground and Old Trafford stadium, and the M16 postcodes reach Stretford, Whalley Range, Hulme, Moss Side within a short drive.
For an European move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: large Victorian and Edwardian terraces with tiled paths and bays, interwar semis, and new apartment blocks along the Chester Road corridor. Chester Road traffic film and match-day litter grey frontages within weeks; original tiled paths and sandstone sills hold ingrained dirt.

Answers before you book
Old Trafford European move FAQs
How much does it cost to move from Old Trafford to Paris?
About 457 road miles door to door (274 to the terminal, 183 from Calais) and roughly 9.1 hours of driving. With the 1.5 hours of handling and the crossing included, that estimates at around £1,345 for one man and a van, or £1,555 for two movers and a van — typically 1–2 days. Roughly 7,900 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerWhat would Old Trafford to Barcelona or Amsterdam cost?
Barcelona is about 1100 miles and estimates at £2,890 solo or £3,360 with two movers (3–4 days). Amsterdam is far shorter at roughly 478 miles — around £1,400 or £1,620, usually 1–2 days. Roughly 7,900 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerWhat customs paperwork do I need?
A CMR consignment note, an itemised valued inventory and, in most cases, the destination country's transfer-of-residence form for used personal effects. We prepare the first two with you and tell you which national form applies. Roughly 7,900 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerDo you charge to get the van to Old Trafford?
No. Mileage is counted from your Old Trafford door onwards, not from our base, so there is no charge to reach M16. Crews run from Trafford, so Stretford and Whalley Range journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerHow exactly is a European estimate worked out?
Miles to the Folkestone terminal plus miles from Calais to your new address, divided by 50 mph, plus 1.5 hours of loading and unloading, multiplied by £45/hr for one man and a van or £65/hr for two movers — then £1.50 for every mile travelled and one crossing at about £180. Nothing else is added unless you book packing or storage. Crews run from Trafford, so Stretford and Whalley Range journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerDo you move from the areas around Old Trafford?
Yes — Stretford, Whalley Range, Hulme, Moss Side, Chorlton-cum-Hardy and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page, sample routes and the same rate card. Crews run from Trafford, so Stretford and Whalley Range journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerAre the prices on this page fixed?
They are honest estimates from the published rate card using measured distances. Send an inventory and the access details at both ends and we convert the estimate into a fixed door-to-door price we hold, crossing included. In Old Trafford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Link to this answerCan you collect at short notice?
Yes, subject to crossing availability. Eurotunnel slots in July, August and the last week of any month sell out first, so a fortnight's notice usually saves money as well as stress. Match-day crowds, Seymour Park, the Somali and Caribbean communities along Ayres Road and Stretford Road's independents — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerWhat if my new place is not ready?
The load goes into secure storage here or near the destination and is delivered on the date you name. Storage is billed per week and the crossing is booked once the date is fixed. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Old Trafford or across to Stretford.
Link to this answerDo I need a parking permit or bay suspension in Old Trafford?
Often, yes — Trafford Council controls loading on most M16 streets. We check your street at survey and, where a suspension saves a long carry, we apply for it and show the cost in the quote before you accept it. Trafford Council loading rules on the M16 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerCan you handle the stairs and access in apartment blocks around Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground and Old Trafford stadium?
Blocks in this part of Trafford run one goods lift and a timed bay. We book both at survey, and if the lift is out the quote already carries the stair-carry hours rather than adding them on the day. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Trafford Council loading rules on the M16 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerIs there anything you cannot move out of Old Trafford?
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym equipment and large glass units all move, but they are quoted at survey because they need extra crew or kit. Paint, fuel, gas bottles and perishables we cannot legally carry — Stretford customers usually clear those with the same booking. Crews run from Trafford, so Stretford and Whalley Range journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerHow long does a European move in Old Trafford usually take?
Most M16 European relocations finish inside a working day. Floor level, lift availability and carry distance change that more than the size of the property, which is why we time the job from the survey rather than the bedroom count. Trafford Council loading rules on the M16 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerWho handles the customs paperwork?
We prepare the CMR consignment note and the packing list with you, and tell you exactly which transfer-of-residence or import forms the destination country wants. You sign them; we carry them. Trafford Council loading rules on the M16 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

Before you book
Booking a European move in Old Trafford, without the guesswork
The cheapest quote in Old Trafford is usually the one with the least written down. Here is exactly what our price covers and what happens when the day does not go to plan.
When completion is late
Your load stays sealed and insured overnight for a fixed fee and delivers first thing — we do not unload onto a driveway or re-quote the second day at short-notice rates.
No day-of surprises
Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the M16 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
A number that answers
Call 020 3633 4555 and ask what a European move like yours costs priced by miles, hours and one crossing. If a cheaper option fits better — a smaller van, an hourly booking, a different day — we will say so.
Damage, honestly handled
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Old Trafford European relocation, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.

Old Trafford moving day checklist (PDF)
Print this before moving day in Old Trafford. It covers the Trafford Council parking rules, the access quirks of the local stock (Large Victorian and Edwardian terraces with tiled paths and bays, interwar semis, and new apartment blocks along the Chester Road corridor) and the sign-off steps most people forget.

Four weeks before — book and confirm
- Confirm the move date and slot for your Old Trafford address in writing.
- Book the van size against your property type — Large Victorian and Edwardian terraces with tiled paths and bays, interwar semis, and new apartment blocks along the Chester Road corridor.
- Check whether Trafford Council needs a parking dispensation or suspended bay on your street.
- Tell your landlord or agent the exact handover date and key-return time.
- Book any end-of-tenancy or pre-move-in clean for the day either side of the move.
- Start using up freezer food, cleaning products and anything that cannot travel.
Two weeks before — paperwork and access
- Apply for the Trafford Council permit or bay suspension (allow 5–10 working days).
- Book the lift or service entrance if your building near Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground and Old Trafford stadium has one.
- Redirect post and update your address on the M16 electoral roll, bank and insurance.
- Notify energy, water, broadband and council tax with opening and closing dates.
- Register with a new GP, dentist and vet if you are leaving the area.
- Arrange school transfers or nursery notice periods.
One week before — pack room by room
- Label every box with the destination room, not the room it came from.
- Pack a 'first night' box: kettle, mugs, chargers, bedding, toilet roll, medication.
- Photograph the back of the TV and any flat-pack you are dismantling.
- Drain the washing machine and fit its transit bolts.
- Dispose of paint, oils and garden waste through the Trafford Council tip — the crew cannot legally load them.
- Set aside valuables, passports and jewellery to travel with you.
The day before — final prep
- Charge phones and keep a paper copy of the crew's number and the new address.
- Defrost the fridge-freezer and towel it dry.
- Take meter readings at the old property and photograph them.
- Put cones or bins out to hold the loading space if Old Trafford parking is tight.
- Bag bedding and clothes, and strip the beds you are taking.
- Confirm arrival window with the crew and the key-collection time with the agent.
Moving day — loading
- Walk the crew through the property and flag fragile and do-not-load items.
- Protect carpets, stair noses and door frames before the first box moves.
- Load heavy furniture first, boxes second, soft furnishings last.
- Keep the first-night box and paperwork with you, not in the van.
- Check lofts, sheds, the garden and every cupboard before the van leaves.
- Final meter readings, lock up and hand back keys.
Moving day — unloading and sign-off
- Direct each box to its labelled room as it comes off the van.
- Build beds first so the day can end even if boxes are still packed.
- Test the boiler, hot water, smoke alarms and the consumer unit.
- Take arrival meter readings and photograph them.
- Check items against your inventory and report damage before the crew leaves.
- Break down boxes and book a recycling collection or clearance slot.
Old Trafford local notes (M16)

- Local context: Inner Trafford district between the two famous grounds and Manchester's south-west edge, with grand Victorian streets and heavy match-day traffic.

Absolutely brilliant company, we had bookings with two branches, Cleaning and Removals, both of whom provided impeccable service, helpful, clear and competent - I also found the general booking/quoting from the company very straightforward and helpful, adjustments were made in accordance with requirements in a timely and efficient manner.

We had a team of two come round to complete an end of tenancy clean. They did a fantastic and thorough job, working around furnitures and the last few boxes and suitcases we had in the flat and being very considerate while I worked from home during the clean. Would definitely recommend the service!
