Long distance removals
Priced on hours and miles, nothing else
Most long distance quotes are a single number with no working behind it. Ours is arithmetic you can repeat: the driving hours for the route, plus 1.5 hours of loading and unloading, multiplied by £45/hr (one man and a van) or £65/hr (two movers and a van), plus £1.50 for every mile travelled.
Everything leaves Greater Manchester on one dedicated van with one crew — the people who wrap your wardrobe in Prestwich are the people who carry it into the new hallway in Bristol. Nothing is trans-shipped through a depot, which is where long-distance damage usually happens.

Long distance rates from Greater Manchester
2 movers and a van
£65/hour
Two-person crew loading together. Halves the handling time and the right call for a two-bed and up, or any upper floor without a lift.
Travel
£1.5/mile
Charged one way on the travelled distance and covers fuel, motorway tolls, crossings and vehicle running costs.
Every estimate on this page already includes 1.5 hours of loading and unloading. Extra time runs in 15-minute blocks at the same hourly rate — never rounded up to the hour.
No hidden maths
How a Greater Manchester long distance estimate is worked out
Step 1
Driving time
Road miles divided by a 52 mph blended average — motorway plus the urban miles at each end.
Step 2
Plus 1.5 hours
The standard loading and unloading allowance, added to the driving time before the hourly rate is applied.
Step 3
Times your hourly rate
£45/hr for one man and a van, £65/hr for two movers and a van.
Step 4
Plus £1.50 a mile
Travel cost covering fuel, tolls and vehicle wear on the run out.
The formula: (road miles ÷ 52 mph + 1.5 hrs) × your hourly rate + (road miles × £1.5). A 200-mile run is therefore about 5.4 billable hours plus £300 of travel — roughly £545 with one man and a van, or £655 with two movers.

Move day, start to finish
How a long distance move from Greater Manchester runs
Stage 1
Survey and fixed quote
A video or on-site survey confirms the inventory, the access and the crew size. The estimate becomes a fixed door-to-door price.
Stage 2
Load day
Crew arrives inside a one-hour window, protects floors and doorframes, dismantles beds and flat-pack and loads to a plan.
Stage 3
On the road
The same van and crew drive the route. Anything over roughly 150 miles runs as a two-day schedule with a secure overnight hold.
Stage 4
Delivery window
You get a live arrival window on the morning of delivery, so you are not waiting in an empty house all day.
Stage 5
Unload and rebuild
Boxes go to the right rooms, beds and furniture are rebuilt and packing debris leaves with the van.
What the fixed price covers
Inside every long distance booking
- Fixed door-to-door price including fuel, tolls and driver hours
- One dedicated crew from load to unload — no depot transfers
- Two-day schedules with overnight secure hold where distance requires
- Full protection, dismantling and reassembly at both ends
- Live arrival window on the delivery day
- Storage in transit if the dates do not line up

- Step 4
Finished and signed off
Work runs to the written spec, and the job isn't closed until it has been checked against it. If something on the list was missed, we return and put it right free.

Link to this answerIs it one day or two?
Anything under about 150 miles is a same-day load and deliver. Beyond that we usually run a two-day schedule with a secure overnight hold on the same vehicle, so the crew is not driving tired.
Link to this answerCan you pack as well?
Yes. Packing is quoted separately by the room and can be booked the day before the move so the van loads first thing.

Fuel, motorway tolls, crossings and vehicle running costs. The £1.50 per mile is charged one way on the travelled distance, not as a return trip.
