How much is a long distance move from Openshaw to London?

About 201 road miles and roughly 3.9 hours of driving. With the 1.5 hours of loading and unloading included, that estimates at around £545 for one man and a van at £45/hr, or £655 for two movers and a van at £65/hr, mileage at £1.50 a mile included. Roughly 6,300 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

What would Openshaw to Edinburgh cost?

Roughly 220 miles and 4.2 hours behind the wheel — about £590 with one man and a van, or £705 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 Manchester, so Clayton and Gorton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

Is my load shared with anyone else?

No. Long distance moves out of Greater Manchester run on a dedicated van with the same crew loading and unloading, so nothing is trans-shipped between depots. Ashton Old Road shops, Higher Openshaw churches and new-build family estates — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Is there a charge to get the van to Openshaw?

No. Mileage is counted from your Openshaw address to the delivery address, not from our base. There is no travel charge to reach M11. Booked most often on the M11 streets around The Manchester College Openshaw campus.

Should I book one man and a van or two movers?

One 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 Openshaw or across to Clayton.

How exactly is the price worked out?

Driving 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 M11 streets around The Manchester College Openshaw campus.

Do I need a parking permit or bay suspension in Openshaw?

Often, yes — Manchester City Council controls loading on most M11 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 Manchester, so Clayton and Gorton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

Are the estimates on this page fixed prices?

They are honest estimates from the published rate card using measured road distances. 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. Local context matters here: armstrong whitworth's openshaw works made guns and steel; the closures of the 1960s emptied the terraces that clearance then replaced, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

Do you move from the areas around Openshaw?

Yes — Clayton, Gorton, Beswick, Ardwick, Droylsden and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page, sample routes and the same rate card. Ashton Old Road shops, Higher Openshaw churches and new-build family estates — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

What if the delivery date does not line up?

The 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. Ashton Old Road shops, Higher Openshaw churches and new-build family estates — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

How long does a long distance move in Openshaw usually take?

Most M11 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 Openshaw properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.

Can you handle the stairs and access in semi-detached homes around The Manchester College Openshaw campus?

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. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Local context matters here: armstrong whitworth's openshaw works made guns and steel; the closures of the 1960s emptied the terraces that clearance then replaced, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

What if I cannot take delivery the next day?

We 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 Openshaw or across to Clayton.

Is there anything you cannot move out of Openshaw?

Pianos, 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 — Clayton customers usually clear those with the same booking. Manchester City Council loading rules on the M11 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

Is my load shared with other customers?

No. Long-distance moves run on a dedicated van with the same crew loading and unloading, so nothing is handled at a depot in between. Ashton Old Road shops, Higher Openshaw churches and new-build family estates — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

No hidden maths

How a Openshaw 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.

What the price buys

What is included from Openshaw

One crew, door to door

The team that loads in Openshaw is the team that unloads at the other end. Nothing is handled at a depot or split across vehicles.

1.5 hours handling included

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.

Mileage at £1.50

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.

Choose your crew size

£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.

Protection as standard

Blankets, straps, wardrobe rails, mattress bags and floor runners travel with every Openshaw load, along with dismantling and reassembly of beds and flat-pack.

Insured the whole way

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

How a long distance move from Openshaw 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. Local context matters here: armstrong whitworth's openshaw works made guns and steel; the closures of the 1960s emptied the terraces that clearance then replaced, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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. Booked most often on the M11 streets around The Manchester College Openshaw campus.
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. Crews run from Manchester, so Clayton and Gorton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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. Booked most often on the M11 streets around The Manchester College Openshaw campus.
Stage 5
Unload and rebuild
Boxes go to the right rooms, beds and furniture are rebuilt and packing debris leaves with the van. Local context matters here: armstrong whitworth's openshaw works made guns and steel; the closures of the 1960s emptied the terraces that clearance then replaced, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

What the fixed price covers

Inside a Openshaw 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

Access, parking and timing

Loading in Openshaw: what the crew plans for

Post-clearance semis and modern estates with a rump of Victorian terraces. That stock, the street it sits on and the Manchester City Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.

Doorways, stairs and lifts in Openshaw

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 Openshaw or across to Clayton.

Where the van stands on the day

Manchester City Council sets the loading, suspension and permit rules across M11. Where a bay suspension is needed near The Manchester College Openshaw campus 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 Openshaw or across to Clayton.

Traffic and start times

Working east Manchester district rebuilt around the Ashton Old Road retail corridor. Loads out of here run best on an early start, before the Manchester 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 Manchester, so Clayton and Gorton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

The four things that change the price

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. Ashton Old Road shops, Higher Openshaw churches and new-build family estates — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Booked here week to week

Jobs we run most often in Openshaw

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 Manchester rather than starting from a blank form.

Same-day delivery

Two-crew long-haul with an early start

Two movers at £65 an hour with a pre-dawn load out of Openshaw so the unload happens the same day instead of paying for an overnight. Ashton Old Road shops, Higher Openshaw churches and new-build family estates — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Transparent breakdown

Relocating out of Greater Manchester for work

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 M11 streets around The Manchester College Openshaw campus.

£1.50 a mile

Openshaw to the south coast or the Midlands

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. Local context matters here: armstrong whitworth's openshaw works made guns and steel; the closures of the 1960s emptied the terraces that clearance then replaced, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

One man and van, £45/hr

Part-load relocations from M11

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. Ashton Old Road shops, Higher Openshaw churches and new-build family estates — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Very satisfactory and easy to organise
“Booking was straightforward and courteous. I wasn’t there for the clean itself (it’s an empty flat I’m selling after a death) but using the lockbox as they were instructed seems to have gone smoothly. They sent me photos afterwards which looked great, the clean seems to have been thorough enough. The estate agents report that it’s made all the difference.”

Booking a long distance move in Openshaw, without the guesswork

The cheapest quote in Openshaw 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.

Damage, honestly handled

Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Openshaw long distance move, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.

A number that answers

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.

No day-of surprises
