Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your Royton home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Oldham · OL2 · Oldham Council
A Royton 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 OL2, quoted before the date is held.
Stone terraces, interwar semis and postwar estates on the slopes. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a Royton house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

Fixed price, set at survey
Removals in Royton
Royton house removals cover the whole home across OL2 — furniture, white goods, lofts, garages and sheds. Stone terraces, interwar semis and postwar estates on the slopes. That housing stock decides the van size, the crew count and how long the carry takes.
Oldham Council controls the loading bays and permits at both ends of a Royton 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 Royton starts at £45 an hour. For the full moving line-up, see moving services in Royton.
What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your Royton 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 Oldham 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 Royton 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. Oldham Council loading rules on the OL2 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Large van, three crew, a full day with lofts, garages and garden gear. Oldham Council loading rules on the OL2 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan. Roughly 9,100 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 Oldham, so Shaw and Crompton and Chadderton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Loaded early, held if keys slip, delivered the moment they land. Most Royton properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym kit and glass units, quoted at survey. Royton Assembly Hall, Tandle Hill walkers and community sports — 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 OL2 streets around Royton Town Hall.
Step 2
Permit bays and lift bookings confirmed at both ends; materials dropped off. Oldham Council loading rules on the OL2 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Step 3
Crew arrives, protection down, dismantling starts, van loaded in room order. Crews run from Oldham, so Shaw and Crompton and Chadderton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Step 4
Drive, unload to the room you label, rebuild beds and wardrobes, walk-through. Royton Assembly Hall, Tandle Hill walkers and community sports — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Access, parking and timing
Stone terraces, interwar semis and postwar estates on the slopes. That stock, the street it sits on and the Oldham Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
We schedule Royton jobs so the loading window sits outside the Oldham rush; end-of-month Fridays are the first dates to go, so book those two to three weeks out where you can. Oldham Council loading rules on the OL2 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 OL2 postcode does. Show us all four on the video survey and the figure is fixed. Oldham Council loading rules on the OL2 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
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. Royton Assembly Hall, Tandle Hill walkers and community sports — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Parking is arranged before the date is confirmed: we check the restriction on your street with Oldham Council, book a suspension or a permit bay if the carry would otherwise be long, and tell you at survey what it adds. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Royton or across to Shaw and Crompton.
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 Oldham rather than starting from a blank form.
From £395
Van, two crew, protection materials, dismantling and reassembly — the standard Royton completion-day booking, fixed at survey from £395. Crews run from Oldham, so Shaw and Crompton and Chadderton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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 Royton or across to Shaw and Crompton.
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. Royton Assembly Hall, Tandle Hill walkers and community sports — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
No mileage surcharge
Short-hop moves to Shaw and Crompton or Chadderton run as a single loaded trip with no out-of-area surcharge, because Greater Manchester mileage is inside the fixed price. Oldham Council loading rules on the OL2 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
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 Oldham bases with Royton Town Hall and Tandle Hill Country Park 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 Royton means working around stone terraces — the stock that defines OL2. A spinning town of the 1800s; Tandle Hill was given to the people as a war memorial park in 1919. That history is why the interiors here need the attention they do.
Tandle Hill exposure and Pennine rain mean fast moss return on paving and gable ends. We budget time for it rather than rushing the finish. Scheduling fits around royton Assembly Hall, and parking is agreed before the van sets off. Coverage runs across OL2 and the Oldham streets either side of it.

Answers before you book
A two-bed move in Royton 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 OL2 streets around Royton Town Hall.
Link to this answerYes. Every Royton 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 Royton properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
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. Royton Assembly Hall, Tandle Hill walkers and community sports — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Oldham Council controls loading on most OL2 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: a spinning town of the 1800s; tandle hill was given to the people as a war memorial park in 1919, 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 — Shaw and Crompton customers usually clear those with the same booking. Booked most often on the OL2 streets around Royton Town Hall.
Link to this answerMost OL2 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. Crews run from Oldham, so Shaw and Crompton and Chadderton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerYes — beds, wardrobes, tables and standard flat-pack are dismantled at your Royton property and rebuilt at the destination as part of the fixed price. Fitted units and glass are noted at survey. Local context matters here: a spinning town of the 1800s; tandle hill was given to the people as a war memorial park in 1919, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerOldham 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. Oldham Council loading rules on the OL2 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerYes — Shaw and Crompton, Chadderton, Oldham, Middleton, Heywood and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own removals page and the same fixed-price bands. Oldham Council loading rules on the OL2 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. Most Royton properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Link to this answerBefore you book
Most complaints about removals in Oldham 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 OL2 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 Royton house removal, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
