Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your Stockport home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Stockport · SK1 / SK2 / SK3 · Stockport Council
A Stockport 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 SK1 and SK2 and SK3, quoted before the date is held.
Stone-built town-centre terraces, Victorian villas on the hills and interwar estates. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a Stockport house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

Fixed price, set at survey
Removals in Stockport
House removals in Stockport 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. Stone-built town-centre terraces, Victorian villas on the hills and interwar estates.
A three-bed Stockport 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 Stockport Viaduct and the Hat Works museum end of the journey with the real walk-in distance included.
Only moving a part-load? Man with a van in Stockport starts at £45 an hour. For the full moving line-up, see moving services in Stockport.
What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your Stockport 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 Stockport 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 Stockport 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. Stockport Council loading rules on the SK1 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Large van, three crew, a full day with lofts, garages and garden gear. Stockport Council loading rules on the SK1 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan. Roughly 45,200 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 Stockport, so Edgeley and Heaton Norris journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Loaded early, held if keys slip, delivered the moment they land. With Stockport drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym kit and glass units, quoted at survey. Stockport Market, the Underbanks independents, Edgeley Park and Stockport County — 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 SK1 streets around Stockport Viaduct.
Step 2
Permit bays and lift bookings confirmed at both ends; materials dropped off. Stockport Council loading rules on the SK1 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Step 3
Crew arrives, protection down, dismantling starts, van loaded in room order. Crews run from Stockport, so Edgeley and Heaton Norris journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Step 4
Drive, unload to the room you label, rebuild beds and wardrobes, walk-through. Stockport Market, the Underbanks independents, Edgeley Park and Stockport County — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Access, parking and timing
Stone-built town-centre terraces, Victorian villas on the hills and interwar estates. That stock, the street it sits on and the Stockport Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
Market town on the Mersey with a soaring railway viaduct, a revived Underbanks and hat-making heritage. Loads out of here run best on an early start, before the Stockport school and commuter peak closes the approach roads. We plan the route with that in mind rather than quoting an optimistic drive time. Crews run from Stockport, so Edgeley and Heaton Norris journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
A five-minute video walk-through covering every room, the stairwell and the street is enough to fix the price. Anything you add later is quoted before we start, never after loading. Stockport Council loading rules on the SK1 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
With a drive and side access the load runs quickly; the survey concentrates on garages, garden rooms and anything oversized that needs a second pair of hands or a leg-off. Booked most often on the SK1 streets around Stockport Viaduct.
Stockport Council sets the loading, suspension and permit rules across SK1, SK2, SK3. Where a bay suspension is needed near Stockport Viaduct and the Hat Works museum we apply for it in advance and the cost sits in the written quote, not on an invoice afterwards. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Stockport or across to Edgeley.
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 Stockport rather than starting from a blank form.
From £395
Van, two crew, protection materials, dismantling and reassembly — the standard Stockport completion-day booking, fixed at survey from £395. Stockport Market, the Underbanks independents, Edgeley Park and Stockport County — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
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 Stockport or across to Edgeley.
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. Stockport Market, the Underbanks independents, Edgeley Park and Stockport County — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
No mileage surcharge
Short-hop moves to Edgeley or Heaton Norris run as a single loaded trip with no out-of-area surcharge, because Greater Manchester mileage is inside the fixed price. Crews run from Stockport, so Edgeley and Heaton Norris 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 Stockport bases with Stockport Viaduct and the Hat Works museum 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 Stockport means working around stone-built town-centre terraces — the stock that defines SK1 and SK2 and SK3. Hatting made Stockport rich; the 1840 viaduct's 27 arches still carry the West Coast Main Line over the town. That history is why the interiors here need the attention they do.
Our teams plan for one recurring Stockport issue: mersey valley damp under the viaduct plus M60 traffic film hits north-facing stonework hardest. Scheduling fits around stockport Market, and parking is agreed before the van sets off. Coverage runs across SK1, SK2, SK3 and the Stockport streets either side of it.

three-bed semi, a street off Stockport Viaduct and the Hat Works museum

Answers before you book
A two-bed move in Stockport 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 45,200 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerYes. Every Stockport 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. With Stockport drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.
Link to this answerDetached properties usually park the van on the drive, so labour goes into volume rather than carry distance: outbuildings, garden machinery and large-format furniture set the crew size. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Roughly 45,200 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Stockport Council controls loading on most SK1 and SK2 and SK3 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 Stockport or across to Edgeley.
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 — Edgeley customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Stockport or across to Edgeley.
Link to this answerMost SK1 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. Stockport Market, the Underbanks independents, Edgeley Park and Stockport County — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerYes — beds, wardrobes, tables and standard flat-pack are dismantled at your Stockport 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 SK1 streets around Stockport Viaduct.
Link to this answerStockport 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. Stockport Council loading rules on the SK1 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerYes — Edgeley, Heaton Norris, Davenport, Reddish, Cheadle and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own removals page and the same fixed-price bands. Stockport Market, the Underbanks independents, Edgeley Park and Stockport County — 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. Stockport Market, the Underbanks independents, Edgeley Park and Stockport County — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

The cheapest quote in Stockport 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 SK1 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 Stockport house removal, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
