Man with a van in Gorton

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

The clock starts when we arrive at your Gorton address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach M18, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Manchester. Roughly 11,100 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

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. Local context matters here: beyer, peacock built locomotives here for the world; the works closed in 1966 and the site is now retail and housing, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

Most M18 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. Gorton Market, the reservoirs walk and the restored Monastery events programme — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

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. Crews run from Manchester, so Openshaw and Ardwick journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

Often, yes — Manchester City Council controls loading on most M18 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.

Yes — Openshaw, Ardwick, Denton, Reddish, Audenshaw and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page and the same pricing.

Yes — single-item collections and deliveries are one of the most common Gorton bookings. Send a photo with the doorway and stairs and we will confirm a fixed price rather than run it hourly.

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

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 — Openshaw customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Gorton or across to Openshaw.
