Driver plus a porter
Every Beswick booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
Manchester · M11 · Manchester City Council
A man and van in Beswick 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 M11, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
2000s and 2010s new-build houses and apartments, plus remaining 1970s blocks. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Beswick man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

Man and van in Beswick
A man with a van in Beswick is the right call when you have a part-load rather than a whole house: a bed and a sofa, a student room, an eBay pickup or a two-room flat. 2000s and 2010s new-build houses and apartments, plus remaining 1970s blocks. Access is what sets the hours here, so we ask about the floor, the stairwell and the parking before quoting.
Hourly work only stays cheap if the hours are honest. We quote a two-hour minimum from arrival, confirm the walk-in distance around The Etihad Stadium and the National Cycling Centre, and hold the price we gave you unless you add items on the day.

What the hourly rate buys
Every Beswick 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 Manchester City 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 The Etihad Stadium and the National Cycling Centre — 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.
Tell us the number of rooms, what matters most and how we get in. Access quirks in Beswick are worth mentioning now: they change the time on site more than the floor area does.
You get a written figure for your van booking, itemised, normally within a few hours. No survey fee, and no surcharge for travelling to Beswick.
Morning or afternoon, weekly, fortnightly or one-off. Recurring visits keep the same slot, so Beswick 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.
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 Beswick.
Slots are planned around Beswick 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 Beswick scheduling desk, so a multi-part job needs one booking.
Everyone we send into a Beswick property is ID-checked, DBS-screened and works under our own supervision — no unvetted subcontracting.
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.

Booking a man-and-van move in Beswick means working around 2000s and 2010s new-build houses and apartments — the stock that defines M11. Cleared of Victorian terraces in the 1960s, then rebuilt again for the 2002 Commonwealth Games and SportCity. That history is why the interiors here need the attention they do.
Open, wind-exposed plots pick up construction dust from the ongoing Eastlands build-out. We budget time for it rather than rushing the finish. Scheduling fits around match days, and parking is agreed before the van sets off. Coverage runs across M11 and the Manchester streets either side of it.

Best service as always!
“I had a very positive experience with HelloService. I first used their service two years ago for the end of tenancy cleaning of my flat in Edinburgh, where I had lived for six years. I was quite nervous, as the property had been occupied for a long time, but HelloService delivered a very high standard of cleaning. The end of tenancy inspection was passed at the first attempt, and both my landlord and I were very satisfied with the result. I was genuinely impressed. More recently, when I needed an end of tenancy clean for my flat in Cambridge, I did not hesitate to contact HelloService again. I was pleased that they still had my records and even offered a returning customer discount. Although the price was slightly higher than before, I was happy to proceed given my previous experience, especially as they provide a seven-day guarantee, which not many companies offer. While the first team did not fully meet the expected standard, the company responded quickly and arranged a re-clean the very next day. I really appreciated this prompt response. Denisse and her team in Cambridge delivered an excellent service. They carefully followed the checkout report, addressed all the issues in detail and carried out a thorough clean across the entire flat. The overall standard was very high and the property is now in very good condition. I truly appreciate the professionalism, responsiveness and reliability of the company. I also enquired about a regular monthly cleaning service and, although this is not something they currently offer, I would certainly have considered using them for this as well. This is not the first time I have used HelloService and my experience has consistently been positive. I would highly recommend their services and would happily use them again in the future.”
