Door-to-door European removals out of M28 on a dedicated van: £45 an hour for one man and a van, £65 an hour for two movers, £1.50 per mile, 1.5 hours of loading and unloading included and the Channel crossing itemised from £180.
As a worked example, Worsley to Gdansk is about 1206 road miles (281 to the terminal, 925 from Calais) and 24.1 hours driving — roughly £3,145 with one man and a van, or £3,655 with two movers, typically 3–4 days.

Moving abroad from Worsley
European removals in Worsley 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.
Mock-Tudor estate houses, Georgian cottages and large detached homes off Leigh Road. 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 Worsley use the same rate card without the crossing.

No hidden maths
Step 1
Measured road miles from your Greater Manchester address to the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone.
Step 2
Measured road miles from Calais to the destination city, added to the UK leg.
Step 3
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
£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
The team that loads in Worsley is the team that unloads at your European address. No depot handover, no groupage warehouse, no second set of hands on your furniture.
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.
Every estimate carries 90 minutes of loading and unloading. Additional time runs in 15-minute blocks at the same hourly rate.
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.
Double-wall cartons, blankets, wardrobe rails, mattress bags and edge protection travel with every Worsley load, plus dismantle here and rebuild there.
Goods-in-transit cover and European liability apply from the first lift in Greater Manchester to the last box placed abroad.
Border paperwork, handled
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 Worsley.
The international road-haulage document that travels with the load. We complete it and you sign it at collection and again at delivery.
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.
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.
A tenancy agreement, deed or utility bill for the destination address, plus your Greater Manchester address, satisfies most border checks.
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.
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
Stage 1
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. Roughly 4,600 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Stage 2
CMR note, valued inventory and any transfer-of-residence form are drafted, checked and signed while the crossing slot is reserved. Salford City Council loading rules on the M28 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Stage 3
Crew arrives inside a one-hour window, protects floors and frames, dismantles beds and flat-pack and loads to an export plan. Crews run from Salford, so Boothstown and Walkden journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Stage 4
Tunnel or ferry with the load sealed on the same vehicle. Nothing is trans-shipped and no one else's furniture joins it. Local context matters here: the duke of bridgewater's canal began here in 1759 to move worsley coal — the mine water still turns the canal orange, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Stage 5
The same crew drives the European leg with a tachograph-legal schedule, and you get a delivery window the day before arrival. Crews run from Salford, so Boothstown and Walkden journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Stage 6
Boxes go to the right rooms, furniture is rebuilt, the CMR is signed off and packing debris leaves with the van. Salford City Council loading rules on the M28 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
What the fixed price covers
Access, parking and timing
Mock-Tudor estate houses, Georgian cottages and large detached homes off Leigh Road. That stock, the street it sits on and the Salford City Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
Start times here are set by the access, not the diary: where a lift, a bay or a school-run street is involved the crew starts early and finishes inside the day rather than paying for a second visit. Roughly 4,600 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Tell us about the loft, the garage, the shed and anything that will not come apart. It is the unlisted items, not the address, that turn a comfortable day into an overtime one. Salford City Council loading rules on the M28 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
With a drive and side access the load runs quickly; the survey concentrates on garages, garden rooms and anything oversized that needs a second pair of hands or a leg-off. Local context matters here: the duke of bridgewater's canal began here in 1759 to move worsley coal — the mine water still turns the canal orange, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
The crew should be carrying, not circling. We confirm the restriction type on the M28 end, arrange a suspension through Salford City Council where it is worth it, and plan the closest legal standing point to the door. Crews run from Salford, so Boothstown and Walkden journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Booked here week to week
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 Salford rather than starting from a blank form.
Crossing itemised
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. Booked most often on the M28 streets around Worsley Delph.
One man and van, £45/hr
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. Crews run from Salford, so Boothstown and Walkden journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Customs papers included
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 Worsley. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Worsley or across to Boothstown.
Dedicated van
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. Salford City Council loading rules on the M28 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
A few lines is enough to start: rooms, frequency and the Worsley street you're on. Anything unusual — a shared stairwell, a key-safe, a dog — is better said up front than discovered on the day.
The quote is fixed before anyone books time off work: labour, products and any extras listed separately, so you can cut the scope rather than the standard if the number is over budget.
Pick the day and window that suits you. Rounds are built geographically around Worsley, which is why the arrival time holds rather than drifting across the day.
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.
A door-to-door European relocation is only worth booking if the crew turns up, prices honestly and finishes the spec. These are the commitments we hold ourselves to in Worsley.
Everyone we send into a Worsley property is ID-checked, DBS-screened and works under our own supervision — no unvetted subcontracting.
Every job in Worsley is insured to £5m public liability, with goods-in-transit cover on anything we lift, load or take away.
You get the a door-to-door European relocation price in writing before we start. Access, stair turns and parking are priced in up front, not added afterwards.
Slots are planned around Worsley traffic, permit zones and parking realities, so crews arrive inside the window we promised.
Loading in Salford
Crews load from Worsley Delph and the Packet House and the streets around it under Salford City Council parking rules, and mileage is counted from your door — not from our base — so there is no charge to reach M28 before the run south to the tunnel.

Booking a european move in Worsley means working around mock-Tudor estate houses — the stock that defines M28. The place looks the way it does for a reason: the Duke of Bridgewater's canal began here in 1759 to move Worsley coal — the mine water still turns the canal orange.
Locally, iron-rich canal water and woodland leaf-fall stain patios and stonework a distinctive rust-brown, so we bring the products and dwell times that problem needs. We work around worsley Green concerts when we set arrival windows in M28. Coverage runs across M28 and the Salford streets either side of it.

“I just started working for this company a few months ago and I have to say in my whole 16yrs of being a Subcontractor I have yet to work for a company so enjoyable! Hellocleaners is by far one of the best companies I have worked for! They are patient kind and informative! If any situation arises about payment or job leads there is always a calm resolution with them! Never pushy or demanding always respectful and understanding! If anyone is looking for a cleaning contract company to work for I highly recommend Hellocleaners for employment! A place of employment that is stress free and truly truly feel like home. There is no better feeling than working for a company that feels more like family than just coworkers and another day at a job! Thank you Hellocleaners for this great opportunity of employment! You guys are absolutely wonderful and amazing. Would recommend this place of employment to anyone looking for work.”

Answers before you book
About 464 road miles door to door (281 to the terminal, 183 from Calais) and roughly 9.3 hours of driving. With the 1.5 hours of handling and the crossing included, that estimates at around £1,365 for one man and a van, or £1,580 for two movers and a van — typically 1–2 days. Salford City Council loading rules on the M28 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerBarcelona is about 1107 miles and estimates at £2,905 solo or £3,375 with two movers (3–4 days). Amsterdam is far shorter at roughly 485 miles — around £1,415 or £1,640, usually 1–2 days. Salford City Council loading rules on the M28 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerDetached properties usually park the van on the drive, so labour goes into volume rather than carry distance: outbuildings, garden machinery and large-format furniture set the crew size. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Worsley or across to Boothstown.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Salford City Council controls loading on most M28 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. Local context matters here: the duke of bridgewater's canal began here in 1759 to move worsley coal — the mine water still turns the canal orange, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerThe 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. Salford City Council loading rules on the M28 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerYes, 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. Roughly 4,600 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerThey 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. Booked most often on the M28 streets around Worsley Delph.
Link to this answerYes — Boothstown, Walkden, Swinton, Eccles, Little Hulton and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page, sample routes and the same rate card. Roughly 4,600 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerMiles 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. Local context matters here: the duke of bridgewater's canal began here in 1759 to move worsley coal — the mine water still turns the canal orange, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerNo. Mileage is counted from your Worsley door onwards, not from our base, so there is no charge to reach M28. Booked most often on the M28 streets around Worsley Delph.
Link to this answerA 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. Crews run from Salford, so Boothstown and Walkden journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerMost M28 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Worsley or across to Boothstown.
Link to this answerPianos, 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 — Boothstown customers usually clear those with the same booking.

Before you book
The cheapest quote in Worsley 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.
Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the M28 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
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.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Worsley European relocation, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
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.
