Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your Ashton-under-Lyne home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Tameside · OL6 / OL7 · Tameside Council
A Ashton-under-Lyne 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 OL6 and OL7, quoted before the date is held.
Stone and brick terraces, interwar semis and postwar estates. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a Ashton-under-Lyne house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your Ashton-under-Lyne 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 Tameside 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 Ashton-under-Lyne 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. Most Ashton-under-Lyne properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Large van, three crew, a full day with lofts, garages and garden gear. Crews run from Tameside, so Dukinfield and Stalybridge journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan. Local context matters here: a cotton and hatting town whose canal and railway made it a regional trading centre; the market dates to 1284, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Half the home to the new address, the rest to storage or clearance. Tameside Council loading rules on the OL6 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Loaded early, held if keys slip, delivered the moment they land. Ashton Market days, Tameside College and the IKEA/retail park economy — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym kit and glass units, quoted at survey. Crews run from Tameside, so Dukinfield and Stalybridge journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Completion day, planned
Step 1
Survey by video or in person, written fixed quote, date held. Local context matters here: a cotton and hatting town whose canal and railway made it a regional trading centre; the market dates to 1284, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Step 2
Permit bays and lift bookings confirmed at both ends; materials dropped off. Crews run from Tameside, so Dukinfield and Stalybridge journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Step 3
Crew arrives, protection down, dismantling starts, van loaded in room order. Ashton Market days, Tameside College and the IKEA/retail park economy — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Step 4
Drive, unload to the room you label, rebuild beds and wardrobes, walk-through. Most Ashton-under-Lyne properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Access, parking and timing
Stone and brick terraces, interwar semis and postwar estates. That stock, the street it sits on and the Tameside Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
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. Ashton Market days, Tameside College and the IKEA/retail park economy — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Parking is arranged before the date is confirmed: we check the restriction on your street with Tameside Council, book a suspension or a permit bay if the carry would otherwise be long, and tell you at survey what it adds. Local context matters here: a cotton and hatting town whose canal and railway made it a regional trading centre; the market dates to 1284, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
We schedule Ashton-under-Lyne jobs so the loading window sits outside the Tameside rush; end-of-month Fridays are the first dates to go, so book those two to three weeks out where you can. Most Ashton-under-Lyne properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Floor and lift, stair turns, parking distance and anything oversized — those four set the price of a house removal here far more than the OL6 postcode does. Show us all four on the video survey and the figure is fixed. Ashton Market days, Tameside College and the IKEA/retail park economy — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
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 Tameside 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. Tameside Council loading rules on the OL6 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
No mileage surcharge
Short-hop moves to Dukinfield or Stalybridge run as a single loaded trip with no out-of-area surcharge, because Greater Manchester mileage is inside the fixed price. Roughly 20,800 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
From £395
Van, two crew, protection materials, dismantling and reassembly — the standard Ashton-under-Lyne completion-day booking, fixed at survey from £395. Most Ashton-under-Lyne properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Ashton-under-Lyne or across to Dukinfield.
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 Tameside bases with Ashton Market and St Michael's Parish Church as the local reference point, so mileage inside Greater Manchester is already in the fixed price — no out-of-area surcharge.

Ashton Market and St Michael's Parish Church anchors the round we run through Ashton-under-Lyne, and every house move in Ashton-under-Lyne on that round starts from the same local checklist. A cotton and hatting town whose canal and railway made it a regional trading centre; the market dates to 1284. That history is why the interiors here need the attention they do.
Locally, pennine rain plus gritstone porosity give heavy moss on stone sills, so we bring the products and dwell times that problem needs. We work around ashton Market days when we set arrival windows in OL6. Coverage runs across OL6, OL7 and the Tameside streets either side of it.

new-build townhouse, a street off Ashton Market and St Michael's Parish Church

Answers before you book
A two-bed move in Ashton-under-Lyne 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 OL6 streets around Ashton Market.
Link to this answerYes. Every Ashton-under-Lyne 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 Tameside, so Dukinfield and Stalybridge journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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 — Dukinfield customers usually clear those with the same booking. Local context matters here: a cotton and hatting town whose canal and railway made it a regional trading centre; the market dates to 1284, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerMost OL6 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. Tameside Council loading rules on the OL6 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerSemis 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. Most Ashton-under-Lyne properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Tameside Council controls loading on most OL6 and OL7 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 cotton and hatting town whose canal and railway made it a regional trading centre; the market dates to 1284, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerYes — Dukinfield, Stalybridge, Audenshaw, Droylsden, Mossley and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own removals page and the same fixed-price bands. Tameside Council loading rules on the OL6 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. Tameside Council loading rules on the OL6 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerYes — beds, wardrobes, tables and standard flat-pack are dismantled at your Ashton-under-Lyne property and rebuilt at the destination as part of the fixed price. Fitted units and glass are noted at survey. Roughly 20,800 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerTameside 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. Ashton Market days, Tameside College and the IKEA/retail park economy — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
