Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your Heywood home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Rochdale · OL10 · Rochdale Borough Council
A Heywood 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 OL10, quoted before the date is held.
Cotton-era terraces around the market, interwar semis on Bury Old Road and postwar estates laid out towards Darnhill. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a Heywood house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

Removals in Heywood
Booking a removal company in Heywood? 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. Compact Rochdale-borough town between the M62 and the East Lancashire Railway.
Every Heywood 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 Heywood starts at £45 an hour. For the full moving line-up, see moving services in Heywood.
What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your Heywood 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 Rochdale Borough 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 Heywood 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 Rochdale, so Rochdale and Middleton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Large van, three crew, a full day with lofts, garages and garden gear. Most Heywood properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Heywood or across to Rochdale.
Half the home to the new address, the rest to storage or clearance. Heywood Market, Queen's Park events and steam-railway visitors — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Loaded early, held if keys slip, delivered the moment they land. Rochdale Borough Council loading rules on the OL10 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym kit and glass units, quoted at survey. Most Heywood properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Completion day, planned
Step 1
Survey by video or in person, written fixed quote, date held. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Heywood or across to Rochdale.
Step 2
Permit bays and lift bookings confirmed at both ends; materials dropped off. Most Heywood properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Step 3
Crew arrives, protection down, dismantling starts, van loaded in room order. Rochdale Borough Council loading rules on the OL10 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 Rochdale, so Rochdale and Middleton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Access, parking and timing
Cotton-era terraces around the market, interwar semis on Bury Old Road and postwar estates laid out towards Darnhill. That stock, the street it sits on and the Rochdale Borough 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. Rochdale Borough Council loading rules on the OL10 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Parking is arranged before the date is confirmed: we check the restriction on your street with Rochdale Borough Council, book a suspension or a permit bay if the carry would otherwise be long, and tell you at survey what it adds. Rochdale Borough Council loading rules on the OL10 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
We schedule Heywood jobs so the loading window sits outside the Rochdale rush; end-of-month Fridays are the first dates to go, so book those two to three weeks out where you can. Most Heywood 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 OL10 postcode does. Show us all four on the video survey and the figure is fixed. Rochdale Borough Council loading rules on the OL10 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 Rochdale 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. Heywood Market, Queen's Park events and steam-railway visitors — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
No mileage surcharge
Short-hop moves to Rochdale or Middleton run as a single loaded trip with no out-of-area surcharge, because Greater Manchester mileage is inside the fixed price. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Heywood or across to Rochdale.
From £395
Van, two crew, protection materials, dismantling and reassembly — the standard Heywood completion-day booking, fixed at survey from £395. Crews run from Rochdale, so Rochdale and Middleton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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: nicknamed 'monkey town', it grew on cotton and later on the huge heywood distribution park, 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 Rochdale bases with Queen's Park and the East Lancashire Railway station as the local reference point, so mileage inside Greater Manchester is already in the fixed price — no out-of-area surcharge.

Queen's Park and the East Lancashire Railway station anchors the round we run through Heywood, and every house move in Heywood on that round starts from the same local checklist. The place looks the way it does for a reason: nicknamed 'Monkey Town'.
Our teams plan for one recurring Heywood issue: m62 corridor traffic film plus distribution-park HGV movement grey frontages quickly. We work around heywood Market when we set arrival windows in OL10. Coverage runs across OL10 and the Rochdale streets either side of it.
House removals — Heywood
1930s detached house, a street off Queen's Park and the East Lancashire Railway station
2-person crew, 5 hours on site. The recurring local issue applied here too: m62 corridor traffic film plus distribution-park HGV movement grey frontages quickly, so extra dwell time went on the worst surfaces before the final wipe-down.
House move completed. Finished inside the quoted window with no extra charge.
House removals — Heywood
two-bed terrace, the OL10 side of Heywood
3-person crew, 6 hours on site. The recurring local issue applied here too: m62 corridor traffic film plus distribution-park HGV movement grey frontages quickly, so extra dwell time went on the worst surfaces before the final wipe-down.
House move completed. Signed off same day with photos sent to the customer.
House removals — Heywood
three-bed semi, Heywood, on our Rochdale round
2-person crew, 3 hours on site. The recurring local issue applied here too: m62 corridor traffic film plus distribution-park HGV movement grey frontages quickly, so extra dwell time went on the worst surfaces before the final wipe-down.
House move completed. Follow-up call at 48 hours confirmed nothing needed putting right.

Compact Rochdale-borough town between the M62 and the East Lancashire Railway. Nicknamed 'Monkey Town', it grew on cotton and later on the huge Heywood Distribution Park.
Heywood Market, Queen's Park events and steam-railway visitors. The best-known landmark is Queen's Park and the East Lancashire Railway station, and the OL10 postcodes reach Rochdale, Middleton, Bury, Royton within a short drive.
For a house move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: cotton-era terraces around the market, interwar semis on Bury Old Road and postwar estates laid out towards Darnhill. M62 corridor traffic film plus distribution-park HGV movement grey frontages quickly.
Answers before you book
A two-bed move in Heywood 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 OL10 streets around Queen's Park.
Link to this answerYes. Every Heywood 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. Most Heywood properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Link to this answerYes — Rochdale, Middleton, Bury, Royton, Whitefield and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own removals page and the same fixed-price bands. Rochdale Borough Council loading rules on the OL10 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. Rochdale Borough Council loading rules on the OL10 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerYes — beds, wardrobes, tables and standard flat-pack are dismantled at your Heywood property and rebuilt at the destination as part of the fixed price. Fitted units and glass are noted at survey. Roughly 12,400 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerRochdale Borough 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. Crews run from Rochdale, so Rochdale and Middleton 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 — Rochdale customers usually clear those with the same booking. Local context matters here: nicknamed 'monkey town', it grew on cotton and later on the huge heywood distribution park, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerMost OL10 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. Heywood Market, Queen's Park events and steam-railway visitors — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
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. Rochdale Borough Council loading rules on the OL10 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Rochdale Borough Council controls loading on most OL10 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: nicknamed 'monkey town', it grew on cotton and later on the huge heywood distribution park, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

The cheapest quote in Heywood 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.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Heywood 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 OL10 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
