Driver plus a porter
Every Davyhulme booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
Trafford · M41 · Trafford Council
A man and van in Davyhulme 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 M41, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
1930s semis with bays and driveways, plus postwar and modern infill. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Davyhulme man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

What the hourly rate buys
Every Davyhulme 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 Trafford 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 Trafford General Hospital — the birthplace of the NHS in 1948 — 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.
A few lines is enough to start: rooms, frequency and the Davyhulme street you're on. Anything unusual — a shared stairwell, a key-safe, a dog — is better said up front than discovered on the day.
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.
Pick the day and window that suits you. Rounds are built geographically around Davyhulme, which is why the arrival time holds rather than drifting across the day.
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 Davyhulme.
You get the an insured man and van price in writing before we start. Access, stair turns and parking are priced in up front, not added afterwards.
Slots are planned around Davyhulme 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 Davyhulme scheduling desk, so a multi-part job needs one booking.
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.
Same service, next door
Vans are routed from Trafford bases with Trafford General Hospital — the birthplace of the NHS in 1948 as the local reference point, so there is no travel surcharge anywhere inside Greater Manchester.
Not listed? See every Greater Manchester area we cover.
Our Trafford crews cover Davyhulme weekly, so the man-and-van move you book is priced on what Davyhulme homes are really like, not a regional average. Aneurin Bevan received the keys to Park Hospital, now Trafford General, on 5 July 1948, launching the NHS. That history is why the interiors here need the attention they do.
Locally, ship Canal damp and Trafford Park dust settle on white uPVC and conservatory roofs, so we bring the products and dwell times that problem needs. Davyhulme Park Golf Club, the hospital workforce and family streets — we plan access and arrival times around all of it. Coverage runs across M41 and the Trafford streets either side of it.

Pre-move deep clean - pleasant surprise!
“Milad and his assistant did an excellent pre-move deep clean of our new home, turned up on time, spent longer than expected and were very friendly - thanks so much. We were pleasantly surprised at how well each room was done and in particular how exhaustively they cleaned the kitchen and appliances. It was great to walk in after the clean and see not only a very clean home but very fresh smelling, like-new. Thank you!”

Erik was superb
“Erik was superb! Polite and friendly, arrived on time and did a great job (5 star rating for him). The only reason for 4 star and not 5 overall is for the carpet cleaning machine which is not really sufficient for heavy traffic areas, although Erik did his best.”
