Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your Ardwick home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Manchester · M12 / M13 · Manchester City Council
A Ardwick removal company with a survey-led fixed price from £395: trained crew, large van, wardrobe cartons, mattress bags, floor protection and furniture dismantled and rebuilt. Whole-home moves across M12 and M13, quoted before the date is held.
Byelaw terraces, 1970s council maisonettes and new student blocks along Hyde Road. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a Ardwick house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

Removals in Ardwick
Booking a removal company in Ardwick? You get a survey by video or in person, a written fixed quote, protection materials on the day and a completion-day sequence that assumes the keys will be late. Inner-east district of Victorian terraces, the Green and a fast-growing student and NHS-worker population.
Every Ardwick removal is covered by goods in transit and £1m public liability, and every crew member is ID- and reference-checked. Nothing on the invoice appears that was not on the quote unless you add items on the day.
Only moving a part-load? Man with a van in Ardwick starts at £45 an hour. For the full moving line-up, see moving services in Ardwick.
What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your Ardwick home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Wardrobe cartons, mattress bags, sofa covers, blankets, floor runners and door jamb protection — delivered with the van, no hire charge.
Beds, wardrobes, dining tables and standard flat-pack come apart and go back together at the new address as part of the quote.
Loaded before keys drop, with Manchester City Council permit bays booked at both ends so a late release does not cost you an extra day.
If completion slips, the load stays sealed in a secure depot overnight for a fixed fee and delivers first thing — no unloading onto a driveway.
Goods-in-transit cover on every Ardwick load, £1m public liability, and vetted crew who move homes full time rather than as casual labour.
Move sizes
One van, two crew, most of a working day including reassembly. Crews run from Manchester, so Chorlton-on-Medlock and Manchester City Centre journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Large van, three crew, a full day with lofts, garages and garden gear. On Ardwick's terraced streets the carry from the van to the front door is what we time at survey.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Ardwick or across to Chorlton-on-Medlock.
Half the home to the new address, the rest to storage or clearance. Apollo gig traffic, Manchester Royal Infirmary shift workers and Ardwick's Bangladeshi and Somali communities — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Loaded early, held if keys slip, delivered the moment they land. Manchester City Council loading rules on the M12 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym kit and glass units, quoted at survey. On Ardwick's terraced streets the carry from the van to the front door is what we time at survey.
Completion day, planned
Step 1
Survey by video or in person, written fixed quote, date held. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Ardwick or across to Chorlton-on-Medlock.
Step 2
Permit bays and lift bookings confirmed at both ends; materials dropped off. On Ardwick's terraced streets the carry from the van to the front door is what we time at survey.
Step 3
Crew arrives, protection down, dismantling starts, van loaded in room order. Manchester City Council loading rules on the M12 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Step 4
Drive, unload to the room you label, rebuild beds and wardrobes, walk-through. Crews run from Manchester, so Chorlton-on-Medlock and Manchester City Centre journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Access, parking and timing
Byelaw terraces, 1970s council maisonettes and new student blocks along Hyde Road. That stock, the street it sits on and the Manchester City Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
With terraces there is rarely a driveway and often a back alley that a Luton cannot enter. We plan the carry distance in advance and price it, so nothing is renegotiated with the van already loaded. Manchester City Council loading rules on the M12 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Parking is arranged before the date is confirmed: we check the restriction on your street with Manchester City Council, book a suspension or a permit bay if the carry would otherwise be long, and tell you at survey what it adds. Apollo gig traffic, Manchester Royal Infirmary shift workers and Ardwick's Bangladeshi and Somali communities — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
We schedule Ardwick jobs so the loading window sits outside the Manchester rush; end-of-month Fridays are the first dates to go, so book those two to three weeks out where you can. On Ardwick's terraced streets the carry from the van to the front door is what we time at survey.
Floor and lift, stair turns, parking distance and anything oversized — those four set the price of a house removal here far more than the M12 postcode does. Show us all four on the video survey and the figure is fixed. Manchester City Council loading rules on the M12 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
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 Manchester rather than starting from a blank form.
Chain-proof
Loaded before keys drop and held sealed if the chain slips, with a fixed overnight fee instead of an unloaded driveway and a second day's labour. Apollo gig traffic, Manchester Royal Infirmary shift workers and Ardwick's Bangladeshi and Somali communities — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
No mileage surcharge
Short-hop moves to Chorlton-on-Medlock or Manchester City Centre run as a single loaded trip with no out-of-area surcharge, because Greater Manchester mileage is inside the fixed price. Roughly 8,500 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
From £395
Van, two crew, protection materials, dismantling and reassembly — the standard Ardwick completion-day booking, fixed at survey from £395. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Ardwick or across to Chorlton-on-Medlock.
From £595
Larger van, three crew and a full day that includes the loft, the garage and the garden equipment most quotes forget until the crew is on site. Local context matters here: a georgian merchants' suburb around ardwick green that was swallowed by railway yards and engineering works in the 1800s, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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.
Same service, next door
Crews are routed from Manchester bases with Ardwick Green Park and the O2 Apollo as the local reference point, so mileage inside Greater Manchester is already in the fixed price — no out-of-area surcharge.

Ardwick Green Park and the O2 Apollo anchors the round we run through Ardwick, and every house move in Ardwick on that round starts from the same local checklist. The place looks the way it does for a reason: a Georgian merchants' suburb around Ardwick Green that was swallowed by railway yards and engineering works in the 1800s.
Our teams plan for one recurring Ardwick issue: hyde Road and the A57(M) push brake dust onto front sills. We work around apollo gig traffic when we set arrival windows in M12. Coverage runs across M12, M13 and the Manchester streets either side of it.

1930s detached house, a street off Ardwick Green Park and the O2 Apollo

House removals — Ardwick
two-bed terrace, the M12 side of Ardwick

three-bed semi, Ardwick, on our Manchester round

Inner-east district of Victorian terraces, the Green and a fast-growing student and NHS-worker population. A Georgian merchants' suburb around Ardwick Green that was swallowed by railway yards and engineering works in the 1800s.
Apollo gig traffic, Manchester Royal Infirmary shift workers and Ardwick's Bangladeshi and Somali communities. The best-known landmark is Ardwick Green Park and the O2 Apollo, and the M12/M13 postcodes reach Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester City Centre, Beswick, Openshaw within a short drive.
For a house move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: byelaw terraces, 1970s council maisonettes and new student blocks along Hyde Road. Hyde Road and the A57(M) push brake dust onto front sills; back alleys stay damp and mossy year-round.
Answers before you book
A two-bed move in Ardwick starts at £395, a three-bed at £595 and a four-bed or larger at £895. Those are fixed prices after a survey, and they include the van, the crew, mileage inside Greater Manchester, protection materials and dismantling. Booked most often on the M12 streets around Ardwick Green Park.
Link to this answerYes. Every Ardwick removal is surveyed by video call or in person so the quote reflects the real inventory, the floor, the stairwell and the parking. The figure we give you is the figure you pay unless items are added on the day. Crews run from Manchester, so Chorlton-on-Medlock and Manchester City Centre journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerYes — Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester City Centre, Beswick, Openshaw, Gorton and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own removals page and the same fixed-price bands. Manchester City Council loading rules on the M12 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerTwo to three weeks is comfortable, and end-of-month Fridays go first. We do hold short-notice slots back each week for completion dates that move. Apollo gig traffic, Manchester Royal Infirmary shift workers and Ardwick's Bangladeshi and Somali communities — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerYes — beds, wardrobes, tables and standard flat-pack are dismantled at your Ardwick property and rebuilt at the destination as part of the fixed price. Fitted units and glass are noted at survey. Booked most often on the M12 streets around Ardwick Green Park.
Link to this answerManchester City Council sets the loading and permit rules on these streets. Tell us at survey whether there is a driveway, a permit bay or a loading window and we arrange the bay in advance, so the crew carries rather than circles. Manchester City Council loading rules on the M12 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
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 — Chorlton-on-Medlock customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Ardwick or across to Chorlton-on-Medlock.
Link to this answerMost M12 house removals 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. Apollo gig traffic, Manchester Royal Infirmary shift workers and Ardwick's Bangladeshi and Somali communities — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerTerraced streets give you a front door straight onto the pavement and no side access, so the van parks as close as the council allows and the crew works a short, repeated carry — which is why the survey counts doorways, not just rooms. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Roughly 8,500 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Manchester City Council controls loading on most M12 and M13 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: a georgian merchants' suburb around ardwick green that was swallowed by railway yards and engineering works in the 1800s, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

Most complaints about removals in Manchester come down to three things: the price changed, the crew was short, or nobody answered the phone. These are our commitments on all three.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Ardwick house removal, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
Call 020 3633 4555 and ask what a house move like yours costs from £395 fixed. If a cheaper option fits better — a smaller van, an hourly booking, a different day — we will say so.
Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the M12 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
