Moving out of Pendleton
A long distance move from Pendleton is priced on two things only: the hours the crew works and the miles the van covers. We charge £45 an hour for one man and a van, £65 an hour for two movers and a van, plus £1.50 per mile travelled — with 1.5 hours of loading and unloading already built into every estimate on this page.
Central Salford district around the shopping centre, the tower blocks and Salford Royal. We check the access at both ends before quoting — the floor, the stairwell, the parking and any Salford City Council loading restriction near Salford Royal Hospital and Buile Hill Park — because that is what turns an estimate into a fixed price.
Only moving across the county? Local removals in Pendleton 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 Pendleton 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 Pendleton 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 Pendleton 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. Booked most often on the M6 streets around Salford Royal Hospital.
Stage 2
Crew arrives inside a one-hour window, protects floors and doorframes, dismantles beds and flat-pack and loads to a plan. Local context matters here: a cotton-spinning township absorbed into salford; the 1960s deck-access blocks were later re-clad and re-let, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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. Salford City Council loading rules on the M6 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Stage 4
You get a live arrival window on the morning of delivery, so you are not waiting in an empty house all day. Local context matters here: a cotton-spinning township absorbed into salford; the 1960s deck-access blocks were later re-clad and re-let, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Stage 5
Boxes go to the right rooms, beds and furniture are rebuilt and packing debris leaves with the van. Roughly 6,800 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
What the fixed price covers
Access, parking and timing
High-rise blocks, terraces off Broad Street and new-build infill. That stock, the street it sits on and the Salford City Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
Central Salford district around the shopping centre, the tower blocks and Salford Royal. Loads out of here run best on an early start, before the Salford school and commuter peak closes the approach roads. We plan the route with that in mind rather than quoting an optimistic drive time. In Pendleton that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
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. Hospital shift workers, the Salford Shopping City precinct and student housing — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Blocks in this part of Salford run one goods lift and a timed bay. We book both at survey, and if the lift is out the quote already carries the stair-carry hours rather than adding them on the day. Local context matters here: a cotton-spinning township absorbed into salford; the 1960s deck-access blocks were later re-clad and re-let, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Salford City Council sets the loading, suspension and permit rules across M6. Where a bay suspension is needed near Salford Royal Hospital and Buile Hill Park we apply for it in advance and the cost sits in the written quote, not on an invoice afterwards. Local context matters here: a cotton-spinning township absorbed into salford; the 1960s deck-access blocks were later re-clad and re-let, 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 Salford 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Pendleton or across to Salford.
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. Hospital shift workers, the Salford Shopping City precinct and student housing — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Same-day delivery
Two movers at £65 an hour with a pre-dawn load out of Pendleton so the unload happens the same day instead of paying for an overnight. Hospital shift workers, the Salford Shopping City precinct and student housing — 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 M6 streets around Salford Royal Hospital.
Send the property size, access notes and dates. Photos of anything awkward in Pendleton — stairs, narrow entries, permit bays — sharpen the price straight away.
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 Pendleton clients know exactly when the door will go.
You get a finished-work check against the same list you agreed at the start — no vague "all done" message. Anything below standard is re-done at our cost.
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 Pendleton.
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 Pendleton scheduling desk, so a multi-part job needs one booking.
Everyone we send into a Pendleton property is ID-checked, DBS-screened and works under our own supervision — no unvetted subcontracting.
Every job in Pendleton is insured to £5m public liability, with goods-in-transit cover on anything we lift, load or take away.
Loading in Salford
Crews load from Salford Royal Hospital and Buile Hill Park and the streets around it under Salford City Council parking rules, and mileage is counted from your door — not from our base — so there is no charge to reach M6.

Booking a long-distance move in Pendleton means working around high-rise blocks — the stock that defines M6. A cotton-spinning township absorbed into Salford; the 1960s deck-access blocks were later re-clad and re-let. That history is why the interiors here need the attention they do.
A6 traffic and hospital-run vehicle movement leave heavy road film on communal entrances. We budget time for it rather than rushing the finish. We work around hospital shift workers when we set arrival windows in M6. Coverage runs across M6 and the Salford streets either side of it.

Answers before you book
About 205 road miles and roughly 3.9 hours of driving. With the 1.5 hours of loading and unloading included, that estimates at around £555 for one man and a van at £45/hr, or £660 for two movers and a van at £65/hr, mileage at £1.50 a mile included. Local context matters here: a cotton-spinning township absorbed into salford; the 1960s deck-access blocks were later re-clad and re-let, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerRoughly 218 miles and 4.2 hours behind the wheel — about £585 with one man and a van, or £700 with two movers. Runs of this length usually go as an overnight two-day schedule with the load kept on the same vehicle. In Pendleton that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
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. Booked most often on the M6 streets around Salford Royal Hospital.
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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Pendleton or across to Salford.
Link to this answerNo. Mileage is counted from your Pendleton address to the delivery address, not from our base. There is no travel charge to reach M6. Roughly 6,800 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerYes — Salford, Eccles, Swinton, Lower Broughton, Higher Broughton and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page, sample routes and the same rate card. Salford City Council loading rules on the M6 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
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. Crews run from Salford, so Salford and Eccles journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Salford City Council controls loading on most M6 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 Salford, so Salford and Eccles journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerThey 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. Booked most often on the M6 streets around Salford Royal Hospital.
Link to this answerMost M6 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. Crews run from Salford, so Salford and Eccles journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerLift bookings and loading-bay slots decide the day here: we confirm the concierge window before the crew leaves the depot, and carry protection for lift cars and communal carpet as standard. 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 Pendleton or across to Salford.
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 — Salford customers usually clear those with the same booking. Crews run from Salford, so Salford and Eccles journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

Before you book
The cheapest quote in Pendleton 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 M6 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 Pendleton 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 Salford is rarely just a van. These are the jobs our Pendleton 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.
