Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your Leigh home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Wigan · WN7 · Wigan Council
A Leigh 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 WN7, quoted before the date is held.
Mill and colliery terraces around the town centre, interwar semis on the Pennington side and extensive new-build estates around Leigh Sports Village. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a Leigh house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

Removals in Leigh
Booking a removal company in Leigh? 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. Former cotton and mining town beside Pennington Flash, with a strong rugby league identity.
Every Leigh 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 Leigh starts at £45 an hour. For the full moving line-up, see moving services in Leigh.
What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your Leigh 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 Wigan 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 Leigh 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. Wigan Council loading rules on the WN7 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Large van, three crew, a full day with lofts, garages and garden gear. Wigan Council loading rules on the WN7 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan. Roughly 19,300 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Half the home to the new address, the rest to storage or clearance. Crews run from Wigan, so Atherton and Tyldesley journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Loaded early, held if keys slip, delivered the moment they land. With Leigh drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym kit and glass units, quoted at survey. Leigh Leopards rugby league, Leigh Market and the Flash's birdwatching hides — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Completion day, planned
Step 1
Survey by video or in person, written fixed quote, date held. Booked most often on the WN7 streets around Pennington Flash Country Park.
Step 2
Permit bays and lift bookings confirmed at both ends; materials dropped off. Wigan Council loading rules on the WN7 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Step 3
Crew arrives, protection down, dismantling starts, van loaded in room order. Crews run from Wigan, so Atherton and Tyldesley journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Step 4
Drive, unload to the room you label, rebuild beds and wardrobes, walk-through. Leigh Leopards rugby league, Leigh Market and the Flash's birdwatching hides — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Access, parking and timing
Mill and colliery terraces around the town centre, interwar semis on the Pennington side and extensive new-build estates around Leigh Sports Village. That stock, the street it sits on and the Wigan Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
We schedule Leigh jobs so the loading window sits outside the Wigan rush; end-of-month Fridays are the first dates to go, so book those two to three weeks out where you can. Wigan Council loading rules on the WN7 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Floor and lift, stair turns, parking distance and anything oversized — those four set the price of a house removal here far more than the WN7 postcode does. Show us all four on the video survey and the figure is fixed. Wigan Council loading rules on the WN7 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
With 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. With Leigh drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.
Parking is arranged before the date is confirmed: we check the restriction on your street with Wigan Council, book a suspension or a permit bay if the carry would otherwise be long, and tell you at survey what it adds. With Leigh drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets 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 Wigan rather than starting from a blank form.
From £395
Van, two crew, protection materials, dismantling and reassembly — the standard Leigh completion-day booking, fixed at survey from £395. Leigh Leopards rugby league, Leigh Market and the Flash's birdwatching hides — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
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 Leigh or across to Atherton.
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. Leigh Leopards rugby league, Leigh Market and the Flash's birdwatching hides — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
No mileage surcharge
Short-hop moves to Atherton or Tyldesley 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 Leigh or across to Atherton.
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 |

Includes protection materials, dismantling and reassembly, and goods-in-transit cover. Packing is quoted separately.
Same service, next door
Crews are routed from Wigan bases with Pennington Flash Country Park and Leigh Town Hall as the local reference point, so mileage inside Greater Manchester is already in the fixed price — no out-of-area surcharge.

Booking a house move in Leigh means working around mill and colliery terraces around the town centre — the stock that defines WN7. Silk then cotton spinning, plus deep mines whose subsidence created the Flash itself. That history is why the interiors here need the attention they do.
Our teams plan for one recurring Leigh issue: subsidence flashes and peat mossland keep ground damp. Scheduling fits around leigh Leopards rugby league, and parking is agreed before the van sets off. Coverage runs across WN7 and the Wigan streets either side of it.

Subsidence flashes and peat mossland keep ground damp; drives silt up after heavy rain.
Answers before you book
A two-bed move in Leigh 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 WN7 streets around Pennington Flash Country Park.
Link to this answerYes. Every Leigh 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. With Leigh drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.
Link to this answerDetached 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. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Leigh Leopards rugby league, Leigh Market and the Flash's birdwatching hides — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Wigan Council controls loading on most WN7 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: silk then cotton spinning, plus deep mines whose subsidence created the flash itself, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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 — Atherton customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Leigh or across to Atherton.
Link to this answerMost WN7 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. Wigan Council loading rules on the WN7 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerYes — beds, wardrobes, tables and standard flat-pack are dismantled at your Leigh 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 WN7 streets around Pennington Flash Country Park.
Link to this answerWigan 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. Local context matters here: silk then cotton spinning, plus deep mines whose subsidence created the flash itself, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerYes — Atherton, Tyldesley, Golborne, Hindley, Abram and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own removals page and the same fixed-price bands. Wigan Council loading rules on the WN7 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. Leigh Leopards rugby league, Leigh Market and the Flash's birdwatching hides — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerBefore you book
Before you pay a deposit anywhere, check the quote answers these four questions. Ours does, in writing, before your Leigh date is held.
Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the WN7 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
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.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Leigh house removal, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
