Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your Shaw and Crompton home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Oldham · OL2 · Oldham Council
A Shaw and Crompton 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.
Gritstone terraces stepping up from the Beal valley, substantial mill-manager villas on Rochdale Road and postwar estates under Crompton Moor. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a Shaw and Crompton house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

Removals in Shaw and Crompton
Shaw and Crompton house removals cover the whole home across OL2 — furniture, white goods, lofts, garages and sheds. Gritstone terraces stepping up from the Beal valley, substantial mill-manager villas on Rochdale Road and postwar estates under Crompton Moor. 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 Shaw and Crompton 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 Shaw and Crompton starts at £45 an hour. For the full moving line-up, see moving services in Shaw and Crompton.
What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your Shaw and Crompton 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 Shaw and Crompton 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.
Large van, three crew, a full day with lofts, garages and garden gear.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan.
Half the home to the new address, the rest to storage or clearance.
Loaded early, held if keys slip, delivered the moment they land.
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym kit and glass units, quoted at survey.

We price your house removal in writing, usually the same day, with the labour, materials and disposal all itemised so nothing appears later.
Pick the day and window that suits you. Rounds are built geographically around Shaw and Crompton, which is why the arrival time holds rather than drifting across the day.
The team works to the agreed spec, walks the finished work with you and only closes the job once you're happy. Anything missed, we come back.
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 Shaw and Crompton.
Every job in Shaw and Crompton is insured to £5m public liability, with goods-in-transit cover on anything we lift, load or take away.
You get the an insured removal crew price in writing before we start. Access, stair turns and parking are priced in up front, not added afterwards.
Slots are planned around Shaw and Crompton 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.
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.

Shaw and Crompton is not a generic Oldham postcode to us: metrolink-served Pennine township once said to hold more millionaires per head than anywhere in Britain, and that shapes how a house move in Shaw and Crompton actually runs here. The place looks the way it does for a reason: cotton wealth in the 1920s made Shaw famously rich.
Locally, high, so we bring the products and dwell times that problem needs. We work around shaw Metrolink commuters when we set arrival windows in OL2. Coverage runs across OL2 and the Oldham streets either side of it.

Metrolink-served Pennine township once said to hold more millionaires per head than anywhere in Britain. Cotton wealth in the 1920s made Shaw famously rich; the mills now house logistics and light industry.
Shaw Metrolink commuters, Crompton Moor walkers and market events. The best-known landmark is Dunwood Park and the surviving Shaw mills, and the OL2 postcodes reach Royton, Oldham, Milnrow, Rochdale within a short drive.
For a house move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: gritstone terraces stepping up from the Beal valley, substantial mill-manager villas on Rochdale Road and postwar estates under Crompton Moor. High, wet and windy — stone flags and rendered gables green up within a single winter.
