Driver plus a porter
Every Altrincham booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
Trafford · WA14 / WA15 · Trafford Council
A man and van in Altrincham from £45 an hour: driver, porter, Luton or long-wheelbase van, blankets, straps and a trolley. Part-loads, single items and small flat moves across WA14 and WA15, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
Georgian and Victorian townhouses, 1930s semis and modern apartments. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Altrincham man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

Man and van in Altrincham
Man with a van Altrincham covers single items, part-loads and small flat moves across WA14 and WA15. Georgian and Victorian townhouses, 1930s semis and modern apartments. That stock decides whether one porter is enough or a second pair of hands saves you an hour.
Trafford Council sets the loading and permit rules on these streets, so the bay is arranged before the van leaves. Waiting time, tip runs and lift bookings are all priced up front rather than added to the invoice afterwards.

What the hourly rate buys
Every Altrincham booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
A Luton or long-wheelbase van with blankets, straps, a trolley and floor protection — no hire charge for equipment.
Stair carries, lift bookings and Trafford Council permit bays are arranged before the day so the clock does not run while we look for parking.
Every load is insured in transit, backed by £5m public liability. Certificates issued with your confirmation.
Sofa collections, mattress deliveries, flat-pack pickups and student moves around Altrincham Market House and Dunham Massey nearby — one item or one room, same rate card.
Hourly with a two-hour minimum for part-loads, or a fixed price once we know the inventory, the floor and the parking.
Typical jobs
Sofas, beds, fridges, wardrobes and marketplace pickups.
Halls to house-share, term-time storage runs and box loads.
A full flat in one or two van loads with two crew.
The half of the move you cannot fit in the car.
Flat-pack, appliance and showroom collections, assembled on request.
Desks, chairs, servers and archive boxes between small offices.
Send the property size, access notes and dates. Photos of anything awkward in Altrincham — stairs, narrow entries, permit bays — sharpen the price straight away.
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.
Pick the day and window that suits you. Rounds are built geographically around Altrincham, which is why the arrival time holds rather than drifting across the day.
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.
An insured man and van is only worth booking if the crew turns up, prices honestly and finishes the spec. These are the commitments we hold ourselves to in Altrincham.
You get the an insured man and van price in writing before we start. Access, stair turns and parking are priced in up front, not added afterwards.
Slots are planned around Altrincham traffic, permit zones and parking realities, so crews arrive inside the window we promised.
If anything on the an insured man and van 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 Altrincham scheduling desk, so a multi-part job needs one booking.
Fixed bands, quoted before we start. What moves the price is access, stair turns, parking distance and the size of the job — not the postcode you live in.
| Package | What it covers | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Van + 1 (hourly) | Minimum two hours, part-loads and single items. | from £45/hr |
| Studio / 1 bed flat | Van and two crew, typically three to four hours. | from £180 |
| 2 bed flat or house | Van and two crew, half to full day depending on access. | from £280 |
Every quote includes blankets, straps, trolley, fuel inside Greater Manchester and goods-in-transit cover.

Altrincham is not a generic Trafford postcode to us: market town turned food-hall destination, and that shapes how a man-and-van move in Altrincham actually runs here. The place looks the way it does for a reason: chartered as a market town in 1290.
Locally, bollin valley damp and mature garden shade give lichen on sandstone steps and Indian-stone patios, so we bring the products and dwell times that problem needs. Scheduling fits around altrincham Market, and parking is agreed before the van sets off. Coverage runs across WA14, WA15 and the Trafford streets either side of it.

★★★★★5 out of 5
“Really easy & straight forward website to get services booked in, with lots of choice for all cleaning required. Good communication from the customer services team. The two male cleaners were friendly and provided a professional and fantastic deep clean service. Outstanding result and the house looks pristine, the oven is so clean it looks brand new. Equally the fridge & freezer clean was also brilliant. They used my wood floor cleaner for my new wood floors which I really appreciated. The house looks so good and extremely happy & satisfied with the job they did. I have had health issues so the deep clean service was very helpful for me and my puppy. I would highly recommend this team for deep cleaning services, excellent value for money. Definitely a 5 star service, just absolutely brilliant as the house looks like a million dollars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
