Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your Salford home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Salford · M5 / M6 / M7 · Salford City Council
A Salford 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 M5 and M6 and M7, quoted before the date is held.
Terraces, 1960s tower blocks and a wall of new Chapel Street apartment schemes. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a Salford house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

Removals in Salford
Booking a removal company in Salford? 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. A city in its own right — Chapel Street regeneration, the University campus and Victorian terraces west of the Irwell.
Every Salford 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 Salford starts at £45 an hour. For the full moving line-up, see moving services in Salford.
What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your Salford 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 Salford 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. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Large van, three crew, a full day with lofts, garages and garden gear. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan. Booked most often on the M5 streets around Salford Lads Club.
Half the home to the new address, the rest to storage or clearance. In Salford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Loaded early, held if keys slip, delivered the moment they land. Crews run from Salford, so Ordsall and Pendleton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym kit and glass units, quoted at survey. Salford City Council loading rules on the M5 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Completion day, planned
Step 1
Survey by video or in person, written fixed quote, date held. Roughly 47,000 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Step 2
Permit bays and lift bookings confirmed at both ends; materials dropped off. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Step 3
Crew arrives, protection down, dismantling starts, van loaded in room order. In Salford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Step 4
Drive, unload to the room you label, rebuild beds and wardrobes, walk-through. Salford City Council loading rules on the M5 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Access, parking and timing
Terraces, 1960s tower blocks and a wall of new Chapel Street apartment schemes. 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.
We schedule Salford 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. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Floor and lift, stair turns, parking distance and anything oversized — those four set the price of a house removal here far more than the M5 postcode does. Show us all four on the video survey and the figure is fixed. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
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. Crews run from Salford, so Ordsall and Pendleton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — 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 Salford rather than starting from a blank form.
From £395
Van, two crew, protection materials, dismantling and reassembly — the standard Salford completion-day booking, fixed at survey from £395. Crews run from Salford, so Ordsall and Pendleton 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. Local context matters here: l. s. lowry painted these streets; chapel street was one of the first gas-lit streets in the world, 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. Salford City Council loading rules on the M5 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
No mileage surcharge
Short-hop moves to Ordsall or Pendleton 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 Ordsall and Pendleton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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 Salford Lads Club and the Salford Museum & Art Gallery 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 Salford means working around terraces — the stock that defines M5 and M6 and M7. The place looks the way it does for a reason: l. S. Lowry painted these streets.
Irwell valley damp and Regent Road freight traffic combine into a stubborn grey film on glazing. We budget time for it rather than rushing the finish. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — we plan access and arrival times around all of it. Coverage runs across M5, M6, M7 and the Salford streets either side of it.

Answers before you book
A two-bed move in Salford 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 47,000 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerYes. Every Salford 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 Salford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Link to this answerYes — beds, wardrobes, tables and standard flat-pack are dismantled at your Salford 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 M5 streets around Salford Lads Club.
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. Booked most often on the M5 streets around Salford Lads Club.
Link to this answerYes — Ordsall, Pendleton, Lower Broughton, Higher Broughton, Salford Quays and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own removals page and the same fixed-price bands. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — 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. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — 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. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Salford City Council controls loading on most M5 and M6 and M7 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 Salford or across to Ordsall.
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 — Ordsall customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Salford or across to Ordsall.
Link to this answerMost M5 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. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

The cheapest quote in Salford 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 M5 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 Salford house removal, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
