Survey and fixed quote
A video or in-person survey of your Wigan home, then one written fixed price covering crew, van, mileage and materials.
Wigan · WN1 / WN3 / WN5 / WN6 · Wigan Council
A Wigan 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 WN1 and WN3 and WN5 and WN6, quoted before the date is held.
Terraces, interwar semis and large postwar and modern estates. That stock — plus the stairwell, the loft and the parking — sets the van size and crew count on a Wigan house move, which is exactly what the survey is for.

Removals in Wigan
Booking a removal company in Wigan? 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. Historic market and mining town on the Douglas, home of the Pier, the Warriors and Uncle Joe's Mint Balls.
Every Wigan 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 Wigan starts at £45 an hour. For the full moving line-up, see moving services in Wigan.
What the fixed price covers
A video or in-person survey of your Wigan 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 Wigan 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 Wigan 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. Booked most often on the WN1 streets around Wigan Pier.
Large van, three crew, a full day with lofts, garages and garden gear. Local context matters here: orwell's the road to wigan pier fixed the town in the national imagination; coal and cotton built it, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Two vans, four crew, survey-led fixed price and a staged load plan. Crews run from Wigan, so Ince-in-Makerfield and Hindley journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Half the home to the new address, the rest to storage or clearance. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Wigan or across to Ince-in-Makerfield.
Loaded early, held if keys slip, delivered the moment they land. Local context matters here: orwell's the road to wigan pier fixed the town in the national imagination; coal and cotton built it, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Pianos, safes, American fridges, gym kit and glass units, quoted at survey. Local context matters here: orwell's the road to wigan pier fixed the town in the national imagination; coal and cotton built it, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Completion day, planned
Step 1
Survey by video or in person, written fixed quote, date held. Most Wigan properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Step 2
Permit bays and lift bookings confirmed at both ends; materials dropped off. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Wigan or across to Ince-in-Makerfield.
Step 3
Crew arrives, protection down, dismantling starts, van loaded in room order. Booked most often on the WN1 streets around Wigan Pier.
Step 4
Drive, unload to the room you label, rebuild beds and wardrobes, walk-through. Booked most often on the WN1 streets around Wigan Pier.
Access, parking and timing
Terraces, interwar semis and large postwar and modern estates. That stock, the street it sits on and the Wigan Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
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. Most Wigan properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Historic market and mining town on the Douglas, home of the Pier, the Warriors and Uncle Joe's Mint Balls. Loads out of here run best on an early start, before the Wigan school and commuter peak closes the approach roads. We plan the route with that in mind rather than quoting an optimistic drive time. Wigan Council loading rules on the WN1 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Wigan Council sets the loading, suspension and permit rules across WN1, WN3, WN5, WN6. Where a bay suspension is needed near Wigan Pier and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal we apply for it in advance and the cost sits in the written quote, not on an invoice afterwards. Local context matters here: orwell's the road to wigan pier fixed the town in the national imagination; coal and cotton built it, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Semis 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. Most Wigan properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
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 Wigan rather than starting from a blank form.
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. Booked most often on the WN1 streets around Wigan Pier.
From £395
Van, two crew, protection materials, dismantling and reassembly — the standard Wigan completion-day booking, fixed at survey from £395. Wigan Council loading rules on the WN1 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
No mileage surcharge
Short-hop moves to Ince-in-Makerfield or Hindley run as a single loaded trip with no out-of-area surcharge, because Greater Manchester mileage is inside the fixed price. Booked most often on the WN1 streets around Wigan Pier.
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. Most Wigan properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
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 Wigan bases with Wigan Pier and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal as the local reference point, so mileage inside Greater Manchester is already in the fixed price — no out-of-area surcharge.

Wigan is not a generic Wigan postcode to us: historic market and mining town on the Douglas, and that shapes how a house move in Wigan actually runs here. The place looks the way it does for a reason: orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier fixed the town in the national imagination.
Locally, canal-side damp, so we bring the products and dwell times that problem needs. Scheduling fits around wigan Market, and parking is agreed before the van sets off. Coverage runs across WN1, WN3, WN5, WN6 and the Wigan streets either side of it.

Wigan Market, the Warriors and Latics, and the Believe Square events. The best-known landmark is Wigan Pier and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and the WN1/WN3/WN5/WN6 postcodes reach Ince-in-Makerfield, Hindley, Standish, Orrell within a short drive.
For a house move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: terraces, interwar semis and large postwar and modern estates. Canal-side damp, colliery-spoil ground and Lancashire rain mean recurring green growth and silty drives.
Answers before you book
A two-bed move in Wigan 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 Wigan 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 Wigan properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Link to this answerYes — beds, wardrobes, tables and standard flat-pack are dismantled at your Wigan property and rebuilt at the destination as part of the fixed price. Fitted units and glass are noted at survey. Local context matters here: orwell's the road to wigan pier fixed the town in the national imagination; coal and cotton built it, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerMost WN1 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. Most Wigan properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
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 — Ince-in-Makerfield customers usually clear those with the same booking. Local context matters here: orwell's the road to wigan pier fixed the town in the national imagination; coal and cotton built it, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Wigan Council controls loading on most WN1 and WN3 and WN5 and WN6 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. Booked most often on the WN1 streets around Wigan Pier.
Link to this answerDriveway loading makes these moves efficient. What moves the price is the loft, the garage and the shed, so the survey deliberately opens all three. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Wigan Market, the Warriors and Latics, and the Believe Square events — 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 Wigan, so Ince-in-Makerfield and Hindley journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerYes — Ince-in-Makerfield, Hindley, Standish, Orrell, Ashton-in-Makerfield and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own removals page and the same fixed-price bands. Crews run from Wigan, so Ince-in-Makerfield and Hindley journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerWigan 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. Wigan Council loading rules on the WN1 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerBefore you book
Most complaints about removals in Wigan come down to three things: the price changed, the crew was short, or nobody answered the phone. These are our commitments on all three.
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.
Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the WN1 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
Call 020 3633 4555 and ask what a house move like yours costs from £395 fixed. If a cheaper option fits better — a smaller van, an hourly booking, a different day — we will say so.
