What the hourly rate buys
Every Chorlton-cum-Hardy 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 Chorlton Water Park and Beech Road — 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 Chorlton-cum-Hardy are worth mentioning now: they change the time on site more than the floor area does.
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.
Choose a morning or afternoon window. We plan around Chorlton-cum-Hardy traffic and parking so the crew arrives inside it.
Work runs to the written spec, and the job isn't closed until it has been checked against it. If something on the list was missed, we return and put it right free.
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 Chorlton-cum-Hardy.

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 Chorlton-cum-Hardy scheduling desk, so a multi-part job needs one booking.
Everyone we send into a Chorlton-cum-Hardy 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.

Chorlton Water Park and Beech Road anchors the round we run through Chorlton-cum-Hardy, and every man-and-van move in Chorlton-cum-Hardy on that round starts from the same local checklist. A farming village recorded in 1250 that Edwardian tram lines turned into a commuter suburb almost overnight. That history is why the interiors here need the attention they do.
Mersey valley mist and mature limes leave tannin staining on tiled front paths and sandstone steps. We budget time for it rather than rushing the finish. We work around beech Road festival when we set arrival windows in M21. Coverage runs across M21 and the Manchester streets either side of it.
