Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your Irlam home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Salford · M44 · Salford City Council
A Irlam 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 M44, quoted before the date is held.
1930s semis, steelworker terraces and new estates on reclaimed land. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a Irlam house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

Removals in Irlam
Booking a removal company in Irlam? 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. Ship Canal town rebuilt around a modern station and the old steelworks site.
Every Irlam 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 Irlam starts at £45 an hour. For the full moving line-up, see moving services in Irlam.
What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your Irlam 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 Salford 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 Irlam 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 Irlam 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 Salford, so Cadishead and Eccles journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan. Local context matters here: the lancashire steel works employed the town for decades; the site is now northbank industrial estate, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Half the home to the new address, the rest to storage or clearance. Salford City Council loading rules on the M44 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Loaded early, held if keys slip, delivered the moment they land. Irlam and Cadishead Academy, Princes Park and a proud independent identity — 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 Salford, so Cadishead and Eccles 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: the lancashire steel works employed the town for decades; the site is now northbank industrial estate, 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 Salford, so Cadishead and Eccles journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Step 3
Crew arrives, protection down, dismantling starts, van loaded in room order. Irlam and Cadishead Academy, Princes Park and a proud independent identity — 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 Irlam properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Access, parking and timing
1930s semis, steelworker terraces and new estates on reclaimed land. That stock, the street it sits on and the Salford City Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
Salford City Council sets the loading, suspension and permit rules across M44. Where a bay suspension is needed near Irlam Station heritage building and the Irlam Steel Recreation Ground we apply for it in advance and the cost sits in the written quote, not on an invoice afterwards. Irlam and Cadishead Academy, Princes Park and a proud independent identity — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Ship Canal town rebuilt around a modern station and the old steelworks site. Loads out of here run best on an early start, before the Salford school and commuter peak closes the approach roads. We plan the route with that in mind rather than quoting an optimistic drive time. Local context matters here: the lancashire steel works employed the town for decades; the site is now northbank industrial estate, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
A five-minute video walk-through covering every room, the stairwell and the street is enough to fix the price. Anything you add later is quoted before we start, never after loading. Booked most often on the M44 streets around Irlam Station heritage building.
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. Salford City Council loading rules on the M44 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 Salford 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. Salford City Council loading rules on the M44 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
No mileage surcharge
Short-hop moves to Cadishead or Eccles run as a single loaded trip with no out-of-area surcharge, because Greater Manchester mileage is inside the fixed price. Most Irlam properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
From £395
Van, two crew, protection materials, dismantling and reassembly — the standard Irlam completion-day booking, fixed at survey from £395. Most Irlam 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 Irlam or across to Cadishead.
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 Salford bases with Irlam Station heritage building and the Irlam Steel Recreation Ground as the local reference point, so mileage inside Greater Manchester is already in the fixed price — no out-of-area surcharge.

Irlam Station heritage building and the Irlam Steel Recreation Ground anchors the round we run through Irlam, and every house move in Irlam on that round starts from the same local checklist. The place looks the way it does for a reason: the Lancashire Steel Works employed the town for decades.
Peat mossland and canal humidity keep render bases green and drives silty after rain. We budget time for it rather than rushing the finish. Irlam and Cadishead Academy, Princes Park and a proud independent identity — we plan access and arrival times around all of it. Coverage runs across M44 and the Salford streets either side of it.

new-build townhouse, a street off Irlam Station heritage building and the Irlam Steel Recreation Ground

first-floor flat, the M44 side of Irlam

Answers before you book
A two-bed move in Irlam 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 M44 streets around Irlam Station heritage building.
Link to this answerYes. Every Irlam 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 Irlam 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 — Cadishead customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Irlam or across to Cadishead.
Link to this answerMost M44 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. Salford City Council loading rules on the M44 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. Local context matters here: the lancashire steel works employed the town for decades; the site is now northbank industrial estate, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Salford City Council controls loading on most M44 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: the lancashire steel works employed the town for decades; the site is now northbank industrial estate, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerYes — Cadishead, Eccles, Partington, Urmston, Worsley and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own removals page and the same fixed-price bands. Salford City Council loading rules on the M44 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. Irlam and Cadishead Academy, Princes Park and a proud independent identity — 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 Irlam 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 M44 streets around Irlam Station heritage building.
Link to this answerSalford 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. Roughly 6,000 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

Most complaints about removals in Salford 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 Irlam 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 M44 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
