Stockport · SK3 · Stockport Council
A man and van in Edgeley 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 SK3, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
Dense two-up two-down terraces with rear alleys, plus interwar semis on the fringe. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Edgeley man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

What the hourly rate buys
Every Edgeley 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 Stockport 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 £1m public liability. Certificates issued with your confirmation.
Sofa collections, mattress deliveries, flat-pack pickups and student moves around Edgeley Park, home of Stockport County — 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. Booked most often on the SK3 streets around Edgeley Park.
Halls to house-share, term-time storage runs and box loads. Local context matters here: built as railway-company housing in the 1800s; the grid of terraces off castle street survives intact, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
A full flat in one or two van loads with two crew. Booked most often on the SK3 streets around Edgeley Park.
The half of the move you cannot fit in the car. Most Edgeley properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Flat-pack, appliance and showroom collections, assembled on request. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Edgeley or across to Stockport.
Desks, chairs, servers and archive boxes between small offices. Most Edgeley properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Access, parking and timing
Dense two-up two-down terraces with rear alleys, plus interwar semis on the fringe. That stock, the street it sits on and the Stockport Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
Stockport Council sets the loading, suspension and permit rules across SK3. Where a bay suspension is needed near Edgeley Park, home of Stockport County we apply for it in advance and the cost sits in the written quote, not on an invoice afterwards. Local context matters here: built as railway-company housing in the 1800s; the grid of terraces off castle street survives intact, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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. Booked most often on the SK3 streets around Edgeley Park.
A five-minute video walk-through covering every room, the stairwell and the street is enough to fix the price. Anything you add later is quoted before we start, never after loading. Crews run from Stockport, so Stockport and Davenport journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Tight-knit Stockport district built around the railway works and Edgeley Park. Loads out of here run best on an early start, before the Stockport school and commuter peak closes the approach roads. We plan the route with that in mind rather than quoting an optimistic drive time. Stockport Council loading rules on the SK3 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Booked here week to week
If one of these looks like yours, say so when you enquire — we will quote it from the closest job we have already done in Stockport rather than starting from a blank form.
£65 an hour, two movers
Where a stair turn or a wardrobe means two pairs of hands, the second mover is added at £65 an hour for the whole job — quoted before the van is booked. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Edgeley or across to Stockport.
Same-day slots
Term-end and short-let changeovers run to a tight window: we take the load, drop what is not going with you at a licensed transfer station, and clear the room the same afternoon. Most Edgeley properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
3–4 hours typical
A Luton or LWB van and one mover covers a flat's contents in three to four hours here, including the stair carry the survey has already counted. Most Edgeley properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Fixed short run
A sofa, a bed frame or a marketplace pickup carried from a three-bed semi to a Stockport or Davenport address, priced as a fixed short run rather than a minimum-hours block. Booked most often on the SK3 streets around Edgeley Park.
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 Stockport bases with Edgeley Park, home of Stockport County as the local reference point, so there is no travel surcharge anywhere inside Greater Manchester.

Our Stockport crews cover Edgeley weekly, so the man-and-van move you book is priced on what Edgeley homes are really like, not a regional average. Built as railway-company housing in the 1800s; the grid of terraces off Castle Street survives intact — useful context when you are quoting surfaces, not square metres.
Rail-corridor grit and alley damp make yards, gates and window reveals the standing job. We budget time for it rather than rushing the finish. Castle Street shops, County match days and a strong neighbourhood identity — we plan access and arrival times around all of it. Coverage runs across SK3 and the Stockport streets either side of it.

Answers before you book
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. Stockport Council loading rules on the SK3 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerThe clock starts when we arrive at your Edgeley address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach SK3, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Stockport. Local context matters here: built as railway-company housing in the 1800s; the grid of terraces off castle street survives intact, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerPianos, 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 — Stockport customers usually clear those with the same booking. Local context matters here: built as railway-company housing in the 1800s; the grid of terraces off castle street survives intact, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerOnce you are moving a full two-bedroom home or more, a house removal with a larger crew is usually cheaper and quicker than hourly work. We will tell you which is better value when we quote. Stockport Council loading rules on the SK3 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Stockport Council controls loading on most SK3 streets. We check your street at survey and, where a suspension saves a long carry, we apply for it and show the cost in the quote before you accept it. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Edgeley or across to Stockport.
Link to this answerDriveway loading makes these moves efficient. What moves the price is the loft, the garage and the shed, so the survey deliberately opens all three. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Castle Street shops, County match days and a strong neighbourhood identity — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerMost SK3 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. Stockport Council loading rules on the SK3 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerYes — single-item collections and deliveries are one of the most common Edgeley bookings. Send a photo with the doorway and stairs and we will confirm a fixed price rather than run it hourly. Most Edgeley properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Link to this answerStockport 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 Edgeley or across to Stockport.
Link to this answerMost man-and-van jobs in Edgeley are covered within 48 hours, and we hold same-day slots back for short-notice work. Evenings and weekends run at the same rate. Local context matters here: built as railway-company housing in the 1800s; the grid of terraces off castle street survives intact, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerYes — Stockport, Davenport, Cheadle, Heaton Norris, Cheadle Hulme and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page and the same pricing. Roughly 6,000 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerBefore you book
Before you pay a deposit anywhere, check the quote answers these four questions. Ours does, in writing, before your Edgeley date is held.
Call 020 3633 4555 and ask what a man and van job like yours costs from £45 an hour. If a cheaper option fits better — a smaller van, an hourly booking, a different day — we will say so.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Edgeley van run, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
Your load stays sealed and insured overnight for a fixed fee and delivers first thing — we do not unload onto a driveway or re-quote the second day at short-notice rates.
