Man with a van in Clayton

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. Most Clayton properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.

The clock starts when we arrive at your Clayton address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach M11, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Manchester.

Most M11 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. Manchester City Council loading rules on the M11 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

Semis here usually give you a driveway or a dropped kerb, which keeps the carry short — the time goes into loft contents, garage shelving and the garden kit people forget to mention until the day.
