Man with a van in Ardwick

From £45 an hour with a two-hour minimum for a van and one porter. A studio or one-bed flat move is typically £180, and a two-bed £280. Fuel inside Greater Manchester, blankets, straps and a trolley are all included. Manchester City Council loading rules on the M12 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

The clock starts when we arrive at your Ardwick address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach M12 or M13, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Manchester. Local context matters here: a georgian merchants' suburb around ardwick green that was swallowed by railway yards and engineering works in the 1800s, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

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 — Chorlton-on-Medlock customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Ardwick or across to Chorlton-on-Medlock.

With terraces there is rarely a driveway and often a back alley that a Luton cannot enter. We plan the carry distance in advance and price it, so nothing is renegotiated with the van already loaded. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Roughly 8,500 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

Most M12 van runs 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. Apollo gig traffic, Manchester Royal Infirmary shift workers and Ardwick's Bangladeshi and Somali communities — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Once you are moving a full two-bedroom home or more, a house removal with a larger crew is usually cheaper and quicker than hourly work. We will tell you which is better value when we quote. Crews run from Manchester, so Chorlton-on-Medlock and Manchester City Centre journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
