What the hourly rate buys
Every Heaton Chapel 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 £5m public liability. Certificates issued with your confirmation.
Sofa collections, mattress deliveries, flat-pack pickups and student moves around Heaton Chapel station and the former Fairey Aviation works site — 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 Heaton Chapel street you're on. Anything unusual — a shared stairwell, a key-safe, a dog — is better said up front than discovered on the day.
We price your van booking in writing, usually the same day, with the labour, materials and disposal all itemised so nothing appears later.
Pick the day and window that suits you. Rounds are built geographically around Heaton Chapel, which is why the arrival time holds rather than drifting across the day.
The team works to the agreed spec, walks the finished work with you and only closes the job once you're happy. Anything missed, we come back.
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 Heaton Chapel.
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 Heaton Chapel scheduling desk, so a multi-part job needs one booking.
Everyone we send into a Heaton Chapel property is ID-checked, DBS-screened and works under our own supervision — no unvetted subcontracting.
Every job in Heaton Chapel is insured to £5m public liability, with goods-in-transit cover on anything we lift, load or take away.
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.
