Moving abroad from Tyldesley

Hours, miles and one crossing — shown in full

European removals in Tyldesley 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.

Terraces stepping down the hill, interwar semis and modern estates. 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 Tyldesley use the same rate card without the crossing.

No hidden maths

How a Tyldesley European estimate is worked out

  1. Step 1

    UK leg to the terminal

    Measured road miles from your Greater Manchester address to the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone.

  2. Step 2

    Continental leg from Calais

    Measured road miles from Calais to the destination city, added to the UK leg.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Tyldesley

One crew, both countries

The team that loads in Tyldesley 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 Tyldesley 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 Tyldesley

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 Tyldesley.

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 Tyldesley runs

  1. 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. Local context matters here: cotton and coal town; astley green's headgear is the last surviving pit gear in lancashire, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

  2. 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. Most Tyldesley properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.

  3. 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. Wigan Council loading rules on the M29 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

  4. 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. Roughly 7,000 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

  5. 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. Tyldesley Market, Astley Green museum volunteers and strong local clubs — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

  6. 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. Most Tyldesley properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.

What the fixed price covers

Inside a Tyldesley 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 Tyldesley: what the crew plans for

Terraces stepping down the hill, interwar semis and modern estates. That stock, the street it sits on and the Wigan Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.

Doorways, stairs and lifts in Tyldesley

Driveway loading makes these moves efficient. What moves the price is the loft, the garage and the shed, so the survey deliberately opens all three. Local context matters here: cotton and coal town; astley green's headgear is the last surviving pit gear in lancashire, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

Where the van stands on the day

Wigan Council sets the loading, suspension and permit rules across M29. Where a bay suspension is needed near Tyldesley's Elliott Street and the Astley Green Colliery Museum nearby we apply for it in advance and the cost sits in the written quote, not on an invoice afterwards. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Tyldesley or across to Atherton.

Traffic and start times

Hillside Wigan-borough town looking south over the Chat Moss plain, known as Bongs. Loads out of here run best on an early start, before the Wigan school and commuter peak closes the approach roads. We plan the route with that in mind rather than quoting an optimistic drive time. Crews run from Wigan, so Atherton and Boothstown journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

The four things that change the price

A five-minute video walk-through covering every room, the stairwell and the street is enough to fix the price. Anything you add later is quoted before we start, never after loading. Tyldesley Market, Astley Green museum volunteers and strong local clubs — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Booked here week to week

Jobs we run most often in Tyldesley

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 Wigan rather than starting from a blank form.

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 Tyldesley. Local context matters here: cotton and coal town; astley green's headgear is the last surviving pit gear in lancashire, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

Dedicated van

Job or study move out of Wigan

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. Booked most often on the M29 streets around Tyldesley's Elliott Street.

Crossing itemised

Tyldesley 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Tyldesley or across to Atherton.

One man and van, £45/hr

Part loads to an EU city from M29

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: cotton and coal town; astley green's headgear is the last surviving pit gear in lancashire, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

How it works in Tyldesley

  1. Step 1

    Start with the property

    A few lines is enough to start: rooms, frequency and the Tyldesley street you're on. Anything unusual — a shared stairwell, a key-safe, a dog — is better said up front than discovered on the day.

  2. Step 2

    We price it in writing

    You get a written figure for your European move, itemised, normally within a few hours. No survey fee, and no surcharge for travelling to Tyldesley.

  3. Step 3

    Pick your slot

    Choose a morning or afternoon window. We plan around Tyldesley traffic and parking so the crew arrives inside it.

  4. Step 4

    Finished and signed off

    Work runs to the written spec, and the job isn't closed until it has been checked against it. If something on the list was missed, we return and put it right free.

    Deep Clean Bungalow

    “The team of three young lads arrived from HELLO SERVICES at the scheduled time and started work to deep clean straight away. They were courteous, polite, very professional treated us and our bungalow and contents with the greatest respect. Also, they obviously had great pride in their work and turned our dull bungalow into a sparkling paradise. The booking process was easy, and their communication was good with both emails, phone calls and reminders. I would highly recommend them to friends and family. It was well worth the money we paid and was a great experience.”

Answers before you book

Tyldesley European move FAQs

  • How much does it cost to move from Tyldesley to Paris?

    About 468 road miles door to door (285 to the terminal, 183 from Calais) and roughly 9.4 hours of driving. With the 1.5 hours of handling and the crossing included, that estimates at around £1,375 for one man and a van, or £1,595 for two movers and a van — typically 1–2 days. Tyldesley Market, Astley Green museum volunteers and strong local clubs — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

    Link to this answer
  • What would Tyldesley to Barcelona or Amsterdam cost?

    Barcelona is about 1111 miles and estimates at £2,915 solo or £3,390 with two movers (3–4 days). Amsterdam is far shorter at roughly 489 miles — around £1,425 or £1,650, usually 1–2 days. Tyldesley Market, Astley Green museum volunteers and strong local clubs — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

    Link to this answer
  • Do you charge to get the van to Tyldesley?

    No. Mileage is counted from your Tyldesley door onwards, not from our base, so there is no charge to reach M29. Roughly 7,000 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

    Link to this answer
  • What 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. Tyldesley Market, Astley Green museum volunteers and strong local clubs — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

    Link to this answer
  • Is my move shared with other people's furniture?

    Not unless you choose a part load to save money. The standard European booking is a dedicated van, which is why delivery dates are firm rather than a two-week window. Local context matters here: cotton and coal town; astley green's headgear is the last surviving pit gear in lancashire, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

    Link to this answer
  • How 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. Booked most often on the M29 streets around Tyldesley's Elliott Street.

    Link to this answer
  • Are 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Tyldesley or across to Atherton.

    Link to this answer
  • Do you move from the areas around Tyldesley?

    Yes — Atherton, Boothstown, Leigh, Walkden, Little Hulton and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page, sample routes and the same rate card. Roughly 7,000 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

    Link to this answer
  • What 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. Crews run from Wigan, so Atherton and Boothstown journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

    Link to this answer
  • Can 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Tyldesley or across to Atherton.

    Link to this answer
  • Can you handle the stairs and access in semi-detached homes around Tyldesley's Elliott Street and the Astley Green Colliery Museum nearby?

    Semis here usually give you a driveway or a dropped kerb, which keeps the carry short — the time goes into loft contents, garage shelving and the garden kit people forget to mention until the day. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Crews run from Wigan, so Atherton and Boothstown journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

    Link to this answer
  • Do I need a parking permit or bay suspension in Tyldesley?

    Often, yes — Wigan Council controls loading on most M29 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Tyldesley or across to Atherton.

    Link to this answer
  • Is my load shared with other customers?

    Only if you book a part load and ask for it. The default on a European move is a dedicated van: the crew that loads in Greater Manchester drives the whole route and unloads at your address, so nothing is trans-shipped through a European depot. Local context matters here: cotton and coal town; astley green's headgear is the last surviving pit gear in lancashire, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

  • Who 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. Booked most often on the M29 streets around Tyldesley's Elliott Street.

  • How long does a European move in Tyldesley usually take?

    Most M29 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. Local context matters here: cotton and coal town; astley green's headgear is the last surviving pit gear in lancashire, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

  • Is there anything you cannot move out of Tyldesley?

    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 — Atherton customers usually clear those with the same booking.

Before you book

What you are actually agreeing to

Before you pay a deposit anywhere, check the quote answers these four questions. Ours does, in writing, before your Tyldesley date is held.

If something goes wrong

Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Tyldesley European relocation, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.

Talk to someone local

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.

The price cannot move on the day

Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the M29 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.

Dates that move

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.

What else Tyldesley customers need around the move

A move in Wigan is rarely just a van. These are the jobs our Tyldesley crews are asked for in the same week — clearing what is not worth transporting, packing, reinstating shelves and fixings, and getting both properties clean — each on its own page with its own pricing.

Four weeks before — book and confirm

  • Confirm the move date and slot for your Tyldesley address in writing.
  • Book the van size against your property type — Terraces stepping down the hill, interwar semis and modern estates.
  • Check whether Wigan 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 Wigan Council permit or bay suspension (allow 5–10 working days).
  • Book the lift or service entrance if your building near Tyldesley's Elliott Street and the Astley Green Colliery Museum nearby has one.
  • Redirect post and update your address on the M29 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 Wigan 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 Tyldesley 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.

Tyldesley local notes (M29)
