Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your Longdendale home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Tameside · SK14 · Tameside Council
A Longdendale 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 SK14, quoted before the date is held.
Stone cottages, Victorian terraces and modern estates on the valley shelves. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a Longdendale house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

Removals in Longdendale
Longdendale house removals cover the whole home across SK14 — furniture, white goods, lofts, garages and sheds. Stone cottages, Victorian terraces and modern estates on the valley shelves. That housing stock decides the van size, the crew count and how long the carry takes.
Tameside Council controls the loading bays and permits at both ends of a Longdendale 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 Longdendale starts at £45 an hour. For the full moving line-up, see moving services in Longdendale.
What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your Longdendale 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 Tameside 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 Longdendale 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. Tameside Council loading rules on the SK14 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Large van, three crew, a full day with lofts, garages and garden gear. Tameside Council loading rules on the SK14 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan. Roughly 4,300 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 Tameside, so Hyde and Stalybridge journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Loaded early, held if keys slip, delivered the moment they land. With Longdendale 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. Longdendale Trail cyclists, Mottram church and moorland communities — 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 SK14 streets around The Longdendale Trail.
Step 2
Permit bays and lift bookings confirmed at both ends; materials dropped off. Tameside Council loading rules on the SK14 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Step 3
Crew arrives, protection down, dismantling starts, van loaded in room order. Crews run from Tameside, so Hyde and Stalybridge journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Step 4
Drive, unload to the room you label, rebuild beds and wardrobes, walk-through. Longdendale Trail cyclists, Mottram church and moorland communities — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Access, parking and timing
Stone cottages, Victorian terraces and modern estates on the valley shelves. That stock, the street it sits on and the Tameside Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
String of Pennine villages — Hollingworth, Mottram and Broadbottom — along the Etherow valley. Loads out of here run best on an early start, before the Tameside school and commuter peak closes the approach roads. We plan the route with that in mind rather than quoting an optimistic drive time. Crews run from Tameside, so Hyde and Stalybridge journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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. Tameside Council loading rules on the SK14 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. Booked most often on the SK14 streets around The Longdendale Trail.
Tameside Council sets the loading, suspension and permit rules across SK14. Where a bay suspension is needed near The Longdendale Trail and Bottoms Reservoir we apply for it in advance and the cost sits in the written quote, not on an invoice afterwards. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Longdendale or across to Hyde.
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 Tameside rather than starting from a blank form.
From £395
Van, two crew, protection materials, dismantling and reassembly — the standard Longdendale completion-day booking, fixed at survey from £395. Longdendale Trail cyclists, Mottram church and moorland communities — 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 Longdendale or across to Hyde.
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. Longdendale Trail cyclists, Mottram church and moorland communities — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
No mileage surcharge
Short-hop moves to Hyde or Stalybridge run as a single loaded trip with no out-of-area surcharge, because Greater Manchester mileage is inside the fixed price. Roughly 4,300 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
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 Tameside bases with The Longdendale Trail and Bottoms Reservoir 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 Longdendale means working around stone cottages — the stock that defines SK14. The place looks the way it does for a reason: the reservoir chain of the 1850s supplied Manchester.
Moorland exposure, peat run-off and heavy rain give stone paving persistent black-green staining. We budget time for it rather than rushing the finish. We work around longdendale Trail cyclists when we set arrival windows in SK14. Coverage runs across SK14 and the Tameside streets either side of it.

Answers before you book
A two-bed move in Longdendale 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. Roughly 4,300 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerYes. Every Longdendale 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 Longdendale 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. Roughly 4,300 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Tameside Council controls loading on most SK14 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 Longdendale or across to Hyde.
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 — Hyde customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Longdendale or across to Hyde.
Link to this answerMost SK14 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. Longdendale Trail cyclists, Mottram church and moorland communities — 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 Longdendale 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 SK14 streets around The Longdendale Trail.
Link to this answerTameside 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. Tameside Council loading rules on the SK14 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerYes — Hyde, Stalybridge, Mossley, Dukinfield, Woodley and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own removals page and the same fixed-price bands. Longdendale Trail cyclists, Mottram church and moorland communities — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
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. Longdendale Trail cyclists, Mottram church and moorland communities — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerBefore you book
Most complaints about removals in Tameside come down to three things: the price changed, the crew was short, or nobody answered the phone. These are our commitments on all three.
Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the SK14 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 Longdendale house removal, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
