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.

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 Little Lever 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 Little Lever 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 Little Lever 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. Roughly 5,200 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Stage 2
Crew arrives inside a one-hour window, protects floors and doorframes, dismantles beds and flat-pack and loads to a plan. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Little Lever or across to Kearsley.
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. Little Lever High, the village centre shops and country-park walkers — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Stage 4
You get a live arrival window on the morning of delivery, so you are not waiting in an empty house all day. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Little Lever or across to Kearsley.
Stage 5
Boxes go to the right rooms, beds and furniture are rebuilt and packing debris leaves with the van. Booked most often on the BL3 streets around Moses Gate Country Park.
What the fixed price covers
Access, parking and timing
Stone-fronted and brick terraces along Market Street, interwar semis with long back gardens and modern closes on the Croal valley edge. That stock, the street it sits on and the Bolton Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
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. Roughly 5,200 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
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. Bolton Council loading rules on the BL3 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. Little Lever High, the village centre shops and country-park walkers — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
The crew should be carrying, not circling. We confirm the restriction type on the BL3 end, arrange a suspension through Bolton Council where it is worth it, and plan the closest legal standing point to the door. Local context matters here: paper making and coal mining town; the manchester, bolton & bury canal ran along its southern edge, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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 Bolton rather than starting from a blank form.
£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. Crews run from Bolton, so Kearsley and Farnworth journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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. With Little Lever drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.
Same-day delivery
Two movers at £65 an hour with a pre-dawn load out of Little Lever so the unload happens the same day instead of paying for an overnight. Bolton Council loading rules on the BL3 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
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. Roughly 5,200 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Tell us the number of rooms, what matters most and how we get in. Access quirks in Little Lever are worth mentioning now: they change the time on site more than the floor area does.
The quote is fixed before anyone books time off work: labour, products and any extras listed separately, so you can cut the scope rather than the standard if the number is over budget.
Choose a morning or afternoon window. We plan around Little Lever traffic and parking so the crew arrives inside it.
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 Little Lever.
Everyone we send into a Little Lever property is ID-checked, DBS-screened and works under our own supervision — no unvetted subcontracting.
Every job in Little Lever is insured to £5m public liability, with goods-in-transit cover on anything we lift, load or take away.
You get the a door-to-door UK relocation price in writing before we start. Access, stair turns and parking are priced in up front, not added afterwards.
Slots are planned around Little Lever traffic, permit zones and parking realities, so crews arrive inside the window we promised.
Loading in Bolton
Crews load from Moses Gate Country Park and the Croal valley and the streets around it under Bolton Council parking rules, and mileage is counted from your door — not from our base — so there is no charge to reach BL3.

About 213 road miles and roughly 4.1 hours of driving.

Link to this answerRoughly 210 miles and 4 hours behind the wheel — about £565 with one man and a van, or £675 with two movers. Runs of this length usually go as an overnight two-day schedule with the load kept on the same vehicle. Booked most often on the BL3 streets around Moses Gate Country Park.
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 — Kearsley customers usually clear those with the same booking. Booked most often on the BL3 streets around Moses Gate Country Park.
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. Roughly 5,200 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerMost BL3 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Little Lever or across to Kearsley.
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. Little Lever High, the village centre shops and country-park walkers — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Link to this answerOften, yes — Bolton Council controls loading on most BL3 streets.

Link to this answerOne man and a van suits a studio, a single room or a part-load from a ground or first floor.

Roughly 5,200 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
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.

Before you book
The cheapest quote in Little Lever 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 BL3 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 Little Lever 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.
Booked with your long distance move
A move in Bolton is rarely just a van. These are the jobs our Little Lever 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.
