Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your Sale home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Trafford · M33 · Trafford Council
A Sale 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 M33, quoted before the date is held.
Edwardian and 1930s semis, Victorian villas and modern apartment blocks. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a Sale house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

Fixed price, set at survey
Removals in Sale
House removals in Sale start with a survey, not a guess. Two bedrooms and up means wardrobe cartons, mattress bags, floor runners and a crew who dismantle and rebuild the beds — priced as one fixed figure before moving day. Edwardian and 1930s semis, Victorian villas and modern apartment blocks.
A three-bed Sale move is a full working day: load, drive, unload, rebuild. We sequence it around completion so the van is loaded before keys drop, and we quote the Sale Water Park and the Bridgewater Canal end of the journey with the real walk-in distance included.
Only moving a part-load? Man with a van in Sale starts at £45 an hour. For the full moving line-up, see moving services in Sale.
What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your Sale 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 Sale 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. Trafford Council loading rules on the M33 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Large van, three crew, a full day with lofts, garages and garden gear. Trafford Council loading rules on the M33 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan. Roughly 23,500 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 Trafford, so Timperley and Altrincham journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Loaded early, held if keys slip, delivered the moment they land. In Sale that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym kit and glass units, quoted at survey. School Road independents, Sale Sharks heritage and Sale Water Park watersports — 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 M33 streets around Sale Water Park.
Step 2
Permit bays and lift bookings confirmed at both ends; materials dropped off. Trafford Council loading rules on the M33 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Step 3
Crew arrives, protection down, dismantling starts, van loaded in room order. Crews run from Trafford, so Timperley and Altrincham journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Step 4
Drive, unload to the room you label, rebuild beds and wardrobes, walk-through. School Road independents, Sale Sharks heritage and Sale Water Park watersports — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Access, parking and timing
Edwardian and 1930s semis, Victorian villas and modern apartment blocks. 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.
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. Roughly 23,500 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
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. Trafford Council loading rules on the M33 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Blocks 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. Local context matters here: a farming township transformed by the canal and the 1849 railway into a substantial commuter town, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
The crew should be carrying, not circling. We confirm the restriction type on the M33 end, arrange a suspension through Trafford Council where it is worth it, and plan the closest legal standing point to the door. School Road independents, Sale Sharks heritage and Sale Water Park watersports — worth telling us about if it closes your street on 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 Trafford rather than starting from a blank form.
From £395
Van, two crew, protection materials, dismantling and reassembly — the standard Sale completion-day booking, fixed at survey from £395. In Sale 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Sale or across to Timperley.
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. School Road independents, Sale Sharks heritage and Sale Water Park watersports — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
No mileage surcharge
Short-hop moves to Timperley or Altrincham 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: a farming township transformed by the canal and the 1849 railway into a substantial commuter town, 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 Trafford bases with Sale Water Park and the Bridgewater Canal 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 Sale means working around edwardian and 1930s semis — the stock that defines M33. A farming township transformed by the canal and the 1849 railway into a substantial commuter town. That history is why the interiors here need the attention they do.
Mersey flood plain and canal moisture keep patios and north-facing render green through winter. We budget time for it rather than rushing the finish. Scheduling fits around school Road independents, and parking is agreed before the van sets off. Coverage runs across M33 and the Trafford streets either side of it.
House removals — Sale
three-bed semi, a street off Sale Water Park and the Bridgewater Canal

Answers before you book
A two-bed move in Sale 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 23,500 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerYes. Every Sale 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. In Sale that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
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 Trafford, so Timperley and Altrincham journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Trafford Council controls loading on most M33 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 Sale or across to Timperley.
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 — Timperley customers usually clear those with the same booking. Roughly 23,500 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerMost M33 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 Trafford, so Timperley and Altrincham journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerYes — beds, wardrobes, tables and standard flat-pack are dismantled at your Sale property and rebuilt at the destination as part of the fixed price. Fitted units and glass are noted at survey. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Sale or across to Timperley.
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. Local context matters here: a farming township transformed by the canal and the 1849 railway into a substantial commuter town, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerYes — Timperley, Altrincham, Stretford, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Urmston and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own removals page and the same fixed-price bands. School Road independents, Sale Sharks heritage and Sale Water Park watersports — 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. Crews run from Trafford, so Timperley and Altrincham journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

The cheapest quote in Sale 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.
Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the M33 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 Sale house removal, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
