Man with a van in Castlefield

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. In Castlefield that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.

The clock starts when we arrive at your Castlefield address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach M3 or M15, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Manchester. Local context matters here: the bridgewater canal terminus of 1765 and the world's first passenger railway station at liverpool road sit within a few hundred metres, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

Manchester City Council runs the loading and permit rules here. Tell us at booking whether there is a driveway, a permit bay, a loading window or nothing at all — the walk-in distance goes into the quote instead of onto the invoice. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Castlefield or across to Manchester City Centre.

Most M3 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. Canal-side pubs, the Science and Industry Museum and a settled owner-occupier crowd — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Lift 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. Booked most often on the M3 streets around The reconstructed gate of the Roman fort Mamucium.

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 — Manchester City Centre customers usually clear those with the same booking.
