Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your MediaCityUK home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Salford · M50 · Salford City Council
A MediaCityUK 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 M50, quoted before the date is held.
Recent apartment towers with communal lobbies, plus serviced and short-let stock. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a MediaCityUK house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

Removals in MediaCityUK
Booking a removal company in MediaCityUK? 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. Purpose-built broadcast and digital campus on the Quays, with studios, offices and apartment towers.
Every MediaCityUK 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 MediaCityUK starts at £45 an hour. For the full moving line-up, see moving services in MediaCityUK.
What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your MediaCityUK 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 MediaCityUK 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 Salford, so Salford Quays and Ordsall journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Large van, three crew, a full day with lofts, garages and garden gear. In MediaCityUK that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan. Priced the same whether you are moving inside MediaCityUK or across to Salford Quays.
Half the home to the new address, the rest to storage or clearance. Broadcast crews, Salford University's media campus and Piazza events — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Loaded early, held if keys slip, delivered the moment they land. Salford City Council loading rules on the M50 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym kit and glass units, quoted at survey. In MediaCityUK that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Completion day, planned
Step 1
Survey by video or in person, written fixed quote, date held. Priced the same whether you are moving inside MediaCityUK or across to Salford Quays.
Step 2
Permit bays and lift bookings confirmed at both ends; materials dropped off. In MediaCityUK that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Step 3
Crew arrives, protection down, dismantling starts, van loaded in room order. Salford City Council loading rules on the M50 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 Salford, so Salford Quays and Ordsall journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Access, parking and timing
Recent apartment towers with communal lobbies, plus serviced and short-let stock. 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.
Blocks in this part of Salford run one goods lift and a timed bay. We book both at survey, and if the lift is out the quote already carries the stair-carry hours rather than adding them on the day. Salford City Council loading rules on the M50 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Parking is arranged before the date is confirmed: we check the restriction on your street with Salford City Council, book a suspension or a permit bay if the carry would otherwise be long, and tell you at survey what it adds. In MediaCityUK that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
We schedule MediaCityUK jobs so the loading window sits outside the Salford rush; end-of-month Fridays are the first dates to go, so book those two to three weeks out where you can. In MediaCityUK that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Floor and lift, stair turns, parking distance and anything oversized — those four set the price of a house removal here far more than the M50 postcode does. Show us all four on the video survey and the figure is fixed. Salford City Council loading rules on the M50 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. Broadcast crews, Salford University's media campus and Piazza events — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
No mileage surcharge
Short-hop moves to Salford Quays or Ordsall run as a single loaded trip with no out-of-area surcharge, because Greater Manchester mileage is inside the fixed price. Crews run from Salford, so Salford Quays and Ordsall journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
From £395
Van, two crew, protection materials, dismantling and reassembly — the standard MediaCityUK completion-day booking, fixed at survey from £395. In MediaCityUK that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
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: built from 2007 on the former dock 9; the bbc's northern move in 2011 anchored the campus, 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 Salford bases with The BBC and ITV studios at MediaCityUK as the local reference point, so mileage inside Greater Manchester is already in the fixed price — no out-of-area surcharge.

The BBC and ITV studios at MediaCityUK anchors the round we run through MediaCityUK, and every house move in MediaCityUK on that round starts from the same local checklist. Built from 2007 on the former dock 9; the BBC's northern move in 2011 anchored the campus — useful context when you are quoting surfaces, not square metres.
Open water frontage means wind-driven rain streaks the glazing on every elevation facing the basin. We budget time for it rather than rushing the finish. Broadcast crews, Salford University's media campus and Piazza events — we plan access and arrival times around all of it. Coverage runs across M50 and the Salford streets either side of it.
House removals — MediaCityUK
1930s detached house, a street off The BBC and ITV studios at MediaCityUK
2-person crew, 5 hours on site. The recurring local issue applied here too: open water frontage means wind-driven rain streaks the glazing on every elevation facing the basin, so extra dwell time went on the worst surfaces before the final wipe-down.
House move completed. Agent accepted the property at check-out without a re-clean.
House removals — MediaCityUK
two-bed terrace, the M50 side of MediaCityUK
3-person crew, 6 hours on site. The recurring local issue applied here too: open water frontage means wind-driven rain streaks the glazing on every elevation facing the basin, 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.

three-bed semi, MediaCityUK, on our Salford round

Answers before you book
A two-bed move in MediaCityUK 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 M50 streets around The BBC.
Link to this answerYes. Every MediaCityUK 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. Crews run from Salford, so Salford Quays and Ordsall journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerYes — Salford Quays, Ordsall, Salford, Eccles, Stretford 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 M50 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. Broadcast crews, Salford University's media campus and Piazza events — 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 MediaCityUK 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 M50 streets around The BBC.
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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside MediaCityUK or across to Salford Quays.
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 — Salford Quays customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside MediaCityUK or across to Salford Quays.
Link to this answerMost M50 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. Broadcast crews, Salford University's media campus and Piazza events — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerLift bookings and loading-bay slots decide the day here: we confirm the concierge window before the crew leaves the depot, and carry protection for lift cars and communal carpet as standard. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Crews run from Salford, so Salford Quays and Ordsall journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Salford City Council controls loading on most M50 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: built from 2007 on the former dock 9; the bbc's northern move in 2011 anchored the campus, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

The cheapest quote in MediaCityUK 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 MediaCityUK 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 M50 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
