Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your Old Trafford home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Trafford · M16 · Trafford Council
A Old Trafford 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 M16, quoted before the date is held.
Large Victorian and Edwardian terraces with tiled paths and bays, interwar semis, and new apartment blocks along the Chester Road corridor. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a Old Trafford house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

Removals in Old Trafford
Old Trafford house removals cover the whole home across M16 — furniture, white goods, lofts, garages and sheds. Large Victorian and Edwardian terraces with tiled paths and bays, interwar semis, and new apartment blocks along the Chester Road corridor. That housing stock decides the van size, the crew count and how long the carry takes.
Trafford Council controls the loading bays and permits at both ends of a Old Trafford 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 Old Trafford starts at £45 an hour. For the full moving line-up, see moving services in Old Trafford.
What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your Old Trafford 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 Trafford 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 Old Trafford load, £5m 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. Roughly 7,900 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Large van, three crew, a full day with lofts, garages and garden gear. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Old Trafford or across to Stretford.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan. In Old Trafford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Half the home to the new address, the rest to storage or clearance. Local context matters here: laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks; lancashire county cricket club moved here in 1857 and united in 1910, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Loaded early, held if keys slip, delivered the moment they land. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Old Trafford or across to Stretford.
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym kit and glass units, quoted at survey. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Old Trafford or across to Stretford.
Completion day, planned
Step 1
Survey by video or in person, written fixed quote, date held. Crews run from Trafford, so Stretford and Whalley Range journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Step 2
Permit bays and lift bookings confirmed at both ends; materials dropped off. Local context matters here: laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks; lancashire county cricket club moved here in 1857 and united in 1910, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Step 3
Crew arrives, protection down, dismantling starts, van loaded in room order. Roughly 7,900 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Step 4
Drive, unload to the room you label, rebuild beds and wardrobes, walk-through. Roughly 7,900 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Access, parking and timing
Large Victorian and Edwardian terraces with tiled paths and bays, interwar semis, and new apartment blocks along the Chester Road corridor. That stock, the street it sits on and the Trafford Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
Tell us about the loft, the garage, the shed and anything that will not come apart. It is the unlisted items, not the address, that turn a comfortable day into an overtime one. In Old Trafford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Start times here are set by the access, not the diary: where a lift, a bay or a school-run street is involved the crew starts early and finishes inside the day rather than paying for a second visit. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Old Trafford or across to Stretford.
The crew should be carrying, not circling. We confirm the restriction type on the M16 end, arrange a suspension through Trafford Council where it is worth it, and plan the closest legal standing point to the door. Crews run from Trafford, so Stretford and Whalley Range journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Lift 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. Roughly 7,900 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
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 Trafford rather than starting from a blank form.
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. Roughly 7,900 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
From £395
Van, two crew, protection materials, dismantling and reassembly — the standard Old Trafford completion-day booking, fixed at survey from £395. Trafford Council loading rules on the M16 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
No mileage surcharge
Short-hop moves to Stretford or Whalley Range run as a single loaded trip with no out-of-area surcharge, because Greater Manchester mileage is inside the fixed price. Local context matters here: laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks; lancashire county cricket club moved here in 1857 and united in 1910, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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. Crews run from Trafford, so Stretford and Whalley Range journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
A few lines is enough to start: rooms, frequency and the Old Trafford street you're on. Anything unusual — a shared stairwell, a key-safe, a dog — is better said up front than discovered on the day.
You get a written figure for your house removal, itemised, normally within a few hours. No survey fee, and no surcharge for travelling to Old Trafford.
Choose a morning or afternoon window. We plan around Old Trafford traffic and parking so the crew arrives inside it.
Work runs to the written spec, and the job isn't closed until it has been checked against it. If something on the list was missed, we return and put it right free.
An insured removal crew is only worth booking if the crew turns up, prices honestly and finishes the spec. These are the commitments we hold ourselves to in Old Trafford.
Slots are planned around Old Trafford traffic, permit zones and parking realities, so crews arrive inside the window we promised.
If anything on the an insured removal crew spec is missed, we come back and put it right at no extra cost — that is the whole guarantee.
Cleaning, moving, handyman and clearance all run from the same Old Trafford scheduling desk, so a multi-part job needs one booking.
Everyone we send into a Old Trafford property is ID-checked, DBS-screened and works under our own supervision — no unvetted subcontracting.
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 Trafford bases with Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground and Old Trafford stadium as the local reference point, so mileage inside Greater Manchester is already in the fixed price — no out-of-area surcharge.

Old Trafford is not a generic Trafford postcode to us: inner Trafford district between the two famous grounds and Manchester's south-west edge, and that shapes how a house move in Old Trafford actually runs here. The place looks the way it does for a reason: laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks.
Chester Road traffic film and match-day litter grey frontages within weeks; original tiled paths and sandstone sills hold ingrained dirt. We budget time for it rather than rushing the finish. We work around match-day crowds when we set arrival windows in M16. Coverage runs across M16 and the Trafford streets either side of it.

Inner Trafford district between the two famous grounds and Manchester's south-west edge, with grand Victorian streets and heavy match-day traffic. Laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks; Lancashire County Cricket Club moved here in 1857 and United in 1910.

Answers before you book
A two-bed move in Old Trafford 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. Trafford Council loading rules on the M16 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerYes. Every Old Trafford 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. Roughly 7,900 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerMost M16 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. Booked most often on the M16 streets around Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground.
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 — Stretford customers usually clear those with the same booking. Trafford Council loading rules on the M16 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerYes — beds, wardrobes, tables and standard flat-pack are dismantled at your Old Trafford 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 M16 streets around Emirates Old Trafford cricket ground.
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. Match-day crowds, Seymour Park, the Somali and Caribbean communities along Ayres Road and Stretford Road's independents — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerThe van stays loaded and secure. We hold overnight at the depot for a fixed fee rather than unloading into a driveway, and deliver to your Old Trafford address first thing once keys are released. Local context matters here: laid out from the 1860s for merchants and clerks; lancashire county cricket club moved here in 1857 and united in 1910, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerTrafford 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. Match-day crowds, Seymour Park, the Somali and Caribbean communities along Ayres Road and Stretford Road's independents — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Trafford Council controls loading on most M16 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. In Old Trafford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Link to this answerBlocks in this part of Trafford 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. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. In Old Trafford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Link to this answerYes — Stretford, Whalley Range, Hulme, Moss Side, Chorlton-cum-Hardy and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own removals page and the same fixed-price bands. Trafford Council loading rules on the M16 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerFor a part-load, a single item or a studio flat, yes — hourly man-and-van work from £45/hr is better value. From two bedrooms upwards a full removal crew is usually quicker and cheaper overall, and we will say which suits your Old Trafford move when we quote. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Old Trafford or across to Stretford.
Link to this answerYes, dismantling and reassembly of standard flat-pack and framed furniture is included in the quote. Fitted wardrobes and glass units are noted at the survey. Crews run from Trafford, so Stretford and Whalley Range journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

Before you book
Before you pay a deposit anywhere, check the quote answers these four questions. Ours does, in writing, before your Old Trafford date is held.
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.
Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the M16 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
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.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Old Trafford house removal, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
