Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your Clayton home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Manchester · M11 · Manchester City Council
A Clayton 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 M11, quoted before the date is held.
Terraces, 1970s council semis and 2010s new-builds on remediated industrial land. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a Clayton house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

Removals in Clayton
Clayton house removals cover the whole home across M11 — furniture, white goods, lofts, garages and sheds. Terraces, 1970s council semis and 2010s new-builds on remediated industrial land. That housing stock decides the van size, the crew count and how long the carry takes.
Manchester City Council controls the loading bays and permits at both ends of a Clayton move, so those are booked in the week before rather than argued about at 8am. If the chain slips, the van stays loaded and secure overnight for a fixed fee.
Only moving a part-load? Man with a van in Clayton starts at £45 an hour. For the full moving line-up, see moving services in Clayton.
What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your Clayton 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 Clayton 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. Roughly 5,300 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Large van, three crew, a full day with lofts, garages and garden gear. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Clayton or across to Beswick.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan. Most Clayton properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Half the home to the new address, the rest to storage or clearance. Local context matters here: clayton aniline dyeworks ran here for over a century; the 2002 commonwealth games reshaped the land to the west, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Loaded early, held if keys slip, delivered the moment they land. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Clayton or across to Beswick.
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym kit and glass units, quoted at survey. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Clayton or across to Beswick.
Completion day, planned
Step 1
Survey by video or in person, written fixed quote, date held. Crews run from Manchester, so Beswick and Openshaw journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Step 2
Permit bays and lift bookings confirmed at both ends; materials dropped off. Local context matters here: clayton aniline dyeworks ran here for over a century; the 2002 commonwealth games reshaped the land to the west, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Step 3
Crew arrives, protection down, dismantling starts, van loaded in room order. Roughly 5,300 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Step 4
Drive, unload to the room you label, rebuild beds and wardrobes, walk-through. Roughly 5,300 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Access, parking and timing
Terraces, 1970s council semis and 2010s new-builds on remediated industrial land. 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.
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. Most Clayton properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Clayton or across to Beswick.
The crew should be carrying, not circling. We confirm the restriction type on the M11 end, arrange a suspension through Manchester City Council where it is worth it, and plan the closest legal standing point to the door. Local context matters here: clayton aniline dyeworks ran here for over a century; the 2002 commonwealth games reshaped the land to the west, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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. Crews run from Manchester, so Beswick and Openshaw 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 Manchester rather than starting from a blank form.
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. Roughly 5,300 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
From £395
Van, two crew, protection materials, dismantling and reassembly — the standard Clayton completion-day booking, fixed at survey from £395. City match-day traffic, Clayton Vale cycling trails and new housing-association estates — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
No mileage surcharge
Short-hop moves to Beswick or Openshaw run as a single loaded trip with no out-of-area surcharge, because Greater Manchester mileage is inside the fixed price. Roughly 5,300 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
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. Crews run from Manchester, so Beswick and Openshaw 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.
Same service, next door
Crews are routed from Manchester bases with Clayton Vale and the Etihad Campus as the local reference point, so mileage inside Greater Manchester is already in the fixed price — no out-of-area surcharge.

Clayton is not a generic Manchester postcode to us: east Manchester neighbourhood beside the Etihad Campus and the Ashton Canal, and that shapes how a house move in Clayton actually runs here. The place looks the way it does for a reason: clayton Aniline dyeworks ran here for over a century.
Locally, canal and vale damp plus match-day litter make frontages and driveways the recurring job, so we bring the products and dwell times that problem needs. We work around city match-day traffic when we set arrival windows in M11. Coverage runs across M11 and the Manchester streets either side of it.

Answers before you book
A two-bed move in Clayton 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 M11 streets around Clayton Vale.
Link to this answerYes. Every Clayton 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 Beswick and Openshaw journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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. Crews run from Manchester, so Beswick and Openshaw journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerYes — Beswick, Openshaw, Newton Heath, Ancoats, Droylsden and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own removals page and the same fixed-price bands. Most Clayton properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
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.

Link to this answerYes — beds, wardrobes, tables and standard flat-pack are dismantled at your Clayton property and rebuilt at the destination as part of the fixed price.

Link to this answerMost M11 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. Most Clayton properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
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 — Beswick customers usually clear those with the same booking.

Link to this answerOften, yes — Manchester City Council controls loading on most M11 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. Roughly 5,300 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerDriveway loading makes these moves efficient. What moves the price is the loft, the garage and the shed, so the survey deliberately opens all three.

The cheapest quote in Clayton 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 M11 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
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.
