What the hourly rate buys

What is included in Edgeley

Driver plus a porter

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.

Van, blankets and straps

A Luton or long-wheelbase van with blankets, straps, a trolley and floor protection — no hire charge for equipment.

Access planned first

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.

Goods-in-transit cover

Every load is insured in transit, backed by £1m public liability. Certificates issued with your confirmation.

Part loads and single items

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.

Fixed or hourly, your choice

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

What we move in Edgeley

Single items

Sofas, beds, fridges, wardrobes and marketplace pickups. Booked most often on the SK3 streets around Edgeley Park.

Student moves

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.

Studio and 1-bed flats

A full flat in one or two van loads with two crew. Booked most often on the SK3 streets around Edgeley Park.

Part loads

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.

Store collections

Flat-pack, appliance and showroom collections, assembled on request. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Edgeley or across to Stockport.

Office bits

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

Loading in Edgeley: what the crew plans for

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.

Where the van stands on the day

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.

Doorways, stairs and lifts in Edgeley

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.

The four things that change the price

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.

Traffic and start times

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

Jobs we run most often in Edgeley

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

Two movers for the awkward items

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

Student and short-let turnarounds around SK3

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

Studio and one-bed flat moves

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

Single-item collection in Edgeley

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.

Man with a van prices in Edgeley

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.

Man with a van in Edgeley: local proof

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

Edgeley man with a van FAQs

  • How much is a man with a van in Edgeley?

    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 answer
  • Do you charge from your depot or from my door in Edgeley?

    The 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 answer
  • Is there anything you cannot move out of Edgeley?

    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 — 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 answer
  • When should I book removals instead of a man with a van?

    Once 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 answer
  • Do I need a parking permit or bay suspension in Edgeley?

    Often, 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 answer
  • Can you handle the stairs and access in semi-detached homes around Edgeley Park, home of Stockport County?

    Driveway 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 answer
  • How long does a man and van job in Edgeley usually take?

    Most 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 answer
  • Can you move a single item, like a sofa or a fridge?

    Yes — 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 answer
  • What about parking around Edgeley Park, home of Stockport County?

    Stockport 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 answer
  • How quickly can you get a van to Edgeley?

    Most 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 answer
  • Do you cover the areas around Edgeley?

    Yes — 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.

Before you book

What you are actually agreeing to

Before you pay a deposit anywhere, check the quote answers these four questions. Ours does, in writing, before your Edgeley date is held.

Talk to someone local

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.

If something goes wrong

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.

Dates that move

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.
