Moving in MediaCityUK
If you need house removals MediaCityUK or a man with a van, start here. Recent apartment towers with communal lobbies, plus serviced and short-let stock. Access, floor level and parking drive the hours far more than the number of bedrooms does, so those are the first three questions we ask.
Salford City Council sets the parking, permit and loading rules we work to here, so the bay, the lift booking and the walk-in distance are all planned before the van leaves the yard — not discovered on the day and billed as waiting time.
Access, parking and timing
Recent apartment towers with communal lobbies, plus serviced and short-let stock. 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.
Floor and lift, stair turns, parking distance and anything oversized — those four set the price of a moving job here far more than the M50 postcode does. Show us all four on the video survey and the figure is fixed. Crews run from Salford, so Salford Quays and Ordsall journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
We schedule MediaCityUK jobs so the loading window sits outside the Salford rush; end-of-month Fridays are the first dates to go, so book those two to three weeks out where you can. Crews run from Salford, so Salford Quays and Ordsall journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Parking is arranged before the date is confirmed: we check the restriction on your street with Salford City Council, book a suspension or a permit bay if the carry would otherwise be long, and tell you at survey what it adds. Crews run from Salford, so Salford Quays and Ordsall journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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. Crews run from Salford, so Salford Quays and Ordsall journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Fixed bands, quoted before we start. What moves the price is access, stair turns, parking distance and the size of the job — not the postcode you live in.
| Package | What it covers | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 2 bed house or flat | One van, two crew, most of a day. | from £395 |
| 3 bed house | Large van, three crew, full day with dismantling. | from £595 |
| 4+ bed house | Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price. | from £895 |
Includes protection materials, dismantling and reassembly, and goods-in-transit cover. Packing is quoted separately.

MediaCityUK is not a generic Salford postcode to us: purpose-built broadcast and digital campus on the Quays, and that shapes how a house move in MediaCityUK actually runs here. Built from 2007 on the former dock 9; the BBC's northern move in 2011 anchored the campus — useful context when you are quoting surfaces, not square metres.
Locally, open water frontage means wind-driven rain streaks the glazing on every elevation facing the basin, so we bring the products and dwell times that problem needs. We work around broadcast crews when we set arrival windows in M50. Coverage runs across M50 and the Salford streets either side of it.

Purpose-built broadcast and digital campus on the Quays, with studios, offices and apartment towers. Built from 2007 on the former dock 9; the BBC's northern move in 2011 anchored the campus.

For a house move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: recent apartment towers with communal lobbies, plus serviced and short-let stock. Open water frontage means wind-driven rain streaks the glazing on every elevation facing the basin.
Answers before you book
Yes — every street inside the M50 postcodes, with no out-of-area travel charge anywhere inside Salford. Roughly 1,800 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerWe plan for it. Salford City Council runs the permit and loading rules here, so tell us at booking whether there is a driveway, a permit bay, a loading window or nothing at all — the walk-in distance goes into the quote rather than onto the invoice. In MediaCityUK that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Link to this answerMost M50 moving jobs 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: built from 2007 on the former dock 9; the bbc's northern move in 2011 anchored the campus, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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 — Salford Quays customers usually clear those with the same booking. In MediaCityUK that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Salford City Council controls loading on most M50 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. Crews run from Salford, so Salford Quays and Ordsall journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerBlocks in this part of Salford 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. Local context matters here: built from 2007 on the former dock 9; the bbc's northern move in 2011 anchored the campus, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerYes. Recent apartment towers with communal lobbies, plus serviced and short-let stock. Our Salford crews work these buildings weekly, so narrow stairwells, half-landings, sash windows and shared lifts are planned into the crew size, not discovered on the day. Roughly 1,800 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerMost MediaCityUK man-and-van jobs are covered within 48 hours and full removals within the week. Completion-day and weekend slots are held back specifically for chains. Broadcast crews, Salford University's media campus and Piazza events — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

The cheapest quote in MediaCityUK 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.
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.
Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the M50 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
Call 020 3633 4555 and ask what a move like yours costs from £45 an hour. If a cheaper option fits better — a smaller van, an hourly booking, a different day — we will say so.
Booked with your home move
A move in Salford is rarely just a van. These are the jobs our MediaCityUK 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.
