Moving out of Edgeley
Relocating out of Edgeley to another part of the UK? You get one dedicated van and the same crew at both ends, priced from a rate card you can check yourself: £45/hr for a man and van, £65/hr for two movers, £1.50 a mile, and 1.5 hours of handling time included.
Access sets the hours. Tell us the floor, the lift, the stair turns and the parking at both the Edgeley end and the destination, and the estimate below becomes a fixed door-to-door price with fuel, tolls and driver hours inside it.
Only moving across the county? Local removals in Edgeley will price better.
Published rate card
£45/hour
Driver-porter with a Luton or long-wheelbase van. Best for studios, single rooms and part-loads from a ground or first floor.
£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.
£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.
Sample routes, real distances
Estimated from the door in Edgeley to the door at the other end, using measured road distance and a 52 mph blended average. Loading and unloading time (1.5 hrs) and mileage at £1.5 are already inside every figure.

No hidden maths
Step 1
Road miles divided by a 52 mph blended average — motorway plus the urban miles at each end.
Step 2
The standard loading and unloading allowance, added to the driving time before the hourly rate is applied.
Step 3
£45/hr for one man and a van, £65/hr for two movers and a van.
Step 4
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.
What the price buys
The team that loads in Edgeley is the team that unloads at the other end. Nothing is handled at a depot or split across vehicles.
Every estimate already carries 90 minutes of loading and unloading. Extra time is charged in 15-minute blocks at the same hourly rate, never rounded up to the hour.
Travelled miles are billed at £1.50 each, one way. Fuel, motorway tolls and the Dartford or Mersey crossings are inside that figure — no surcharge on arrival.
£45 an hour for one man and a van, £65 an hour for two movers and a van. We recommend two for anything above a one-bed or an upper floor without a lift.
Blankets, straps, wardrobe rails, mattress bags and floor runners travel with every Edgeley load, along with dismantling and reassembly of beds and flat-pack.
Goods-in-transit cover and £5m public liability apply from the moment the first item is lifted until the last box is placed.
Move day, start to finish
Stage 1
A video or on-site survey confirms the inventory, the access and the crew size. The estimate becomes a fixed door-to-door price. Local context matters here: built as railway-company housing in the 1800s; the grid of terraces off castle street survives intact, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Stage 2
Crew arrives inside a one-hour window, protects floors and doorframes, dismantles beds and flat-pack and loads to a plan. Booked most often on the SK3 streets around Edgeley Park.
Stage 3
The same van and crew drive the route. Anything over roughly 150 miles runs as a two-day schedule with a secure overnight hold. Crews run from Stockport, so Stockport and Davenport journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Stage 4
You get a live arrival window on the morning of delivery, so you are not waiting in an empty house all day. Booked most often on the SK3 streets around Edgeley Park.
Stage 5
Boxes go to the right rooms, beds and furniture are rebuilt and packing debris leaves with the van. Local context matters here: built as railway-company housing in the 1800s; the grid of terraces off castle street survives intact, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
What the fixed price covers
Access, parking and timing
Dense two-up two-down terraces with rear alleys, plus interwar semis on the fringe. 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.
Driveway loading makes these moves efficient. What moves the price is the loft, the garage and the shed, so the survey deliberately opens all three. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Edgeley or across to Stockport.
The crew should be carrying, not circling. We confirm the restriction type on the SK3 end, arrange a suspension through Stockport Council where it is worth it, and plan the closest legal standing point to the door. Most Edgeley properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Start times here are set by the access, not the diary: where a lift, a bay or a school-run street is involved the crew starts early and finishes inside the day rather than paying for a second visit. Booked most often on the SK3 streets around Edgeley Park.
Tell us about the loft, the garage, the shed and anything that will not come apart. It is the unlisted items, not the address, that turn a comfortable day into an overtime one. Stockport Council loading rules on the SK3 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
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.
Same-day delivery
Two movers at £65 an hour with a pre-dawn load out of Edgeley so the unload happens the same day instead of paying for an overnight. Castle Street shops, County match days and a strong neighbourhood identity — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Transparent breakdown
Packing the day before, a fixed collection window and a delivery slot you can give a landlord or a solicitor — with the mileage element shown separately on the quote. Booked most often on the SK3 streets around Edgeley Park.
£1.50 a mile
One loaded trip, priced from measured road miles and driving hours plus 1.5 hours handling — the estimate you see in the route table is the estimate we quote from. Booked most often on the SK3 streets around Edgeley Park.
One man and van, £45/hr
A driver and van for a room or a flat's worth of contents going a long way, at £45 an hour plus mileage rather than a full-crew day rate. Most Edgeley properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Tell us the number of rooms, what matters most and how we get in. Access quirks in Edgeley are worth mentioning now: they change the time on site more than the floor area does.
We price your long distance move in writing, usually the same day, with the labour, materials and disposal all itemised so nothing appears later.
Morning or afternoon, weekly, fortnightly or one-off. Recurring visits keep the same slot, so Edgeley clients know exactly when the door will go.
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.
A door-to-door UK relocation is only worth booking if the crew turns up, prices honestly and finishes the spec. These are the commitments we hold ourselves to in Edgeley.
If anything on the a door-to-door UK relocation spec is missed, we come back and put it right at no extra cost — that is the whole guarantee.
Cleaning, moving, handyman and clearance all run from the same Edgeley scheduling desk, so a multi-part job needs one booking.
Everyone we send into a Edgeley property is ID-checked, DBS-screened and works under our own supervision — no unvetted subcontracting.
Every job in Edgeley is insured to £5m public liability, with goods-in-transit cover on anything we lift, load or take away.
Loading in Stockport
Crews load from Edgeley Park, home of Stockport County and the streets around it under Stockport Council parking rules, and mileage is counted from your door — not from our base — so there is no charge to reach SK3.
Not listed? See every Greater Manchester area we relocate from.
Edgeley Park, home of Stockport County anchors the round we run through Edgeley, and every long-distance move in Edgeley on that round starts from the same local checklist. The place looks the way it does for a reason: built as railway-company housing in the 1800s.
Our teams plan for one recurring Edgeley issue: rail-corridor grit and alley damp make yards. We work around castle Street shops when we set arrival windows in SK3. Coverage runs across SK3 and the Stockport streets either side of it.

Castle Street shops, County match days and a strong neighbourhood identity. The best-known landmark is Edgeley Park, home of Stockport County, and the SK3 postcodes reach Stockport, Davenport, Cheadle, Heaton Norris within a short drive.
For a long-distance move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: dense two-up two-down terraces with rear alleys, plus interwar semis on the fringe. Rail-corridor grit and alley damp make yards, gates and window reveals the standing job.
Answers before you book
About 196 road miles and roughly 3.8 hours of driving. With the 1.5 hours of loading and unloading included, that estimates at around £535 for one man and a van at £45/hr, or £640 for two movers and a van at £65/hr, mileage at £1.50 a mile included. Local context matters here: built as railway-company housing in the 1800s; the grid of terraces off castle street survives intact, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerRoughly 226 miles and 4.3 hours behind the wheel — about £600 with one man and a van, or £720 with two movers. Runs of this length usually go as an overnight two-day schedule with the load kept on the same vehicle. Crews run from Stockport, so Stockport and Davenport journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerMost SK3 long distance moves 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 Edgeley properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Link to this answerSemis 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. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Edgeley or across to Stockport.
Link to this answerNo. Mileage is counted from your Edgeley address to the delivery address, not from our base. There is no travel charge to reach SK3. Booked most often on the SK3 streets around Edgeley Park.
Link to this answerOne man and a van suits a studio, a single room or a part-load from a ground or first floor. Two movers halve the loading time and are the safer choice for a two-bed and up, an upper floor without a lift, or anything heavy — which is most of the stock around here. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Edgeley or across to Stockport.
Link to this answerDriving hours (road miles ÷ 52 mph) plus 1.5 hours of loading and unloading, multiplied by £45/hr for one man and a van or £65/hr for two movers and a van, plus £1.50 for every mile travelled. Nothing else is added unless you ask for packing, storage or a second day. Booked most often on the SK3 streets around Edgeley Park.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Stockport Council controls loading on most 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. Crews run from Stockport, so Stockport and Davenport journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

Send an inventory and the access details at both ends and we convert the estimate into a fixed door-to-door price that we hold.

Link to this answerYes — Stockport, Davenport, Cheadle, Heaton Norris, Cheadle Hulme and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page, sample routes and the same rate card. Castle Street shops, County match days and a strong neighbourhood identity — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerThe load goes into secure storage in transit on the same vehicle or in a sealed container and is delivered on the date you name. Storage is charged per week, not per day. Castle Street shops, County match days and a strong neighbourhood identity — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerWe hold the load in secure storage in transit and deliver on the date you name, charged per week rather than per day. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Edgeley or across to Stockport.
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 — Stockport customers usually clear those with the same booking. Most Edgeley properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.

Before you book
Most complaints about removals in Stockport come down to three things: the price changed, the crew was short, or nobody answered the phone. These are our commitments on all three.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Edgeley long distance move, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
Call 020 3633 4555 and ask what a long distance move like yours costs priced by miles and hours. If a cheaper option fits better — a smaller van, an hourly booking, a different day — we will say so.
Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the SK3 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.
Booked with your long distance move
A move in Stockport is rarely just a van. These are the jobs our Edgeley crews are asked for in the same week — clearing what is not worth transporting, packing, reinstating shelves and fixings, and getting both properties clean — each on its own page with its own pricing.
