Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your Hale home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Trafford · WA15 · Trafford Council
A Hale 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 WA15, quoted before the date is held.
Large detached houses, Victorian villas and gated modern builds with stone drives. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a Hale house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

Removals in Hale
Booking a removal company in Hale? 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. One of the North West's most expensive villages — boutique high street, big gardens, Cheshire feel.
Every Hale 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 Hale starts at £45 an hour. For the full moving line-up, see moving services in Hale.
What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your Hale 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 Trafford 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 Hale 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 6,400 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 Hale or across to Hale Barns.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan. With Hale drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.
Half the home to the new address, the rest to storage or clearance. Local context matters here: the 1862 railway station created the village; wealthy manchester families built the villas that remain, 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 Hale or across to Hale Barns.
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym kit and glass units, quoted at survey. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Hale or across to Hale Barns.
Completion day, planned
Step 1
Survey by video or in person, written fixed quote, date held. Crews run from Trafford, so Hale Barns and Bowdon 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: the 1862 railway station created the village; wealthy manchester families built the villas that remain, 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 6,400 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 6,400 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Access, parking and timing
Large detached houses, Victorian villas and gated modern builds with stone drives. That stock, the street it sits on and the Trafford 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 house removal here far more than the WA15 postcode does. Show us all four on the video survey and the figure is fixed. With Hale drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.
We schedule Hale jobs so the loading window sits outside the Trafford rush; end-of-month Fridays are the first dates to go, so book those two to three weeks out where you can. Roughly 6,400 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Parking is arranged before the date is confirmed: we check the restriction on your street with Trafford 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 Trafford, so Hale Barns and Bowdon journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Detached 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. Local context matters here: the 1862 railway station created the village; wealthy manchester families built the villas that remain, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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 Trafford 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 6,400 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
From £395
Van, two crew, protection materials, dismantling and reassembly — the standard Hale completion-day booking, fixed at survey from £395. Trafford Council loading rules on the WA15 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
No mileage surcharge
Short-hop moves to Hale Barns or Bowdon run as a single loaded trip with no out-of-area surcharge, because Greater Manchester mileage is inside the fixed price. Local context matters here: the 1862 railway station created the village; wealthy manchester families built the villas that remain, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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 Trafford, so Hale Barns and Bowdon 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 Trafford bases with Hale village clock and the Bollin valley as the local reference point, so mileage inside Greater Manchester is already in the fixed price — no out-of-area surcharge.

Hale is not a generic Trafford postcode to us: one of the North West's most expensive villages — boutique high street, and that shapes how a house move in Hale actually runs here. The 1862 railway station created the village; wealthy Manchester families built the villas that remain. That history is why the interiors here need the attention they do.
Mature tree cover and Bollin damp mean lichen on natural-stone drives and terraces year-round. We budget time for it rather than rushing the finish. Scheduling fits around hale Barns and Hale village restaurants, and parking is agreed before the van sets off. Coverage runs across WA15 and the Trafford streets either side of it.

Answers before you book
A two-bed move in Hale 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. Local context matters here: the 1862 railway station created the village; wealthy manchester families built the villas that remain, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerYes. Every Hale 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. Trafford Council loading rules on the WA15 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. Crews run from Trafford, so Hale Barns and Bowdon journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerYes — Hale Barns, Bowdon, Altrincham, Timperley, Sale and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own removals page and the same fixed-price bands. Hale Barns and Hale village restaurants, tennis clubs and independent schools — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerTrafford 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. Trafford Council loading rules on the WA15 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerYes — beds, wardrobes, tables and standard flat-pack are dismantled at your Hale property and rebuilt at the destination as part of the fixed price. Fitted units and glass are noted at survey. Local context matters here: the 1862 railway station created the village; wealthy manchester families built the villas that remain, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerMost WA15 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. With Hale drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.
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 — Hale Barns customers usually clear those with the same booking. Local context matters here: the 1862 railway station created the village; wealthy manchester families built the villas that remain, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Trafford Council controls loading on most WA15 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Hale or across to Hale Barns.
Link to this answerWith 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. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Booked most often on the WA15 streets around Hale village clock.

The cheapest quote in Hale 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 WA15 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.
