What the hourly rate buys

What is included in Heywood

Driver plus a porter

Every Heywood 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 Rochdale Borough 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 £5m public liability. Certificates issued with your confirmation.

Part loads and single items

Sofa collections, mattress deliveries, flat-pack pickups and student moves around Queen's Park and the East Lancashire Railway station — 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.

How it works in Heywood

  1. Step 1

    Tell us the job

    Send the property size, access notes and dates. Photos of anything awkward in Heywood — stairs, narrow entries, permit bays — sharpen the price straight away.

  2. Step 2

    Confirm the price

    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.

  3. Step 3

    Choose your window

    Pick the day and window that suits you. Rounds are built geographically around Heywood, which is why the arrival time holds rather than drifting across the day.

  4. Step 4

    We check it with you

    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.

Why choose Hello Services in Heywood

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 Heywood.

  • Fixed prices, confirmed in writing

    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.

  • Local scheduling, not a call centre

    Slots are planned around Heywood traffic, permit zones and parking realities, so crews arrive inside the window we promised.

  • Re-do guarantee

    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.

  • One team for the whole property

    Cleaning, moving, handyman and clearance all run from the same Heywood scheduling desk, so a multi-part job needs one booking.

Answers before you book

Heywood man with a van FAQs

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

    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.

    Link to this answer
  • Do you charge from your depot or from my door in Heywood?

    The clock starts when we arrive at your Heywood address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach OL10, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Rochdale.

    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 Heywood bookings. Send a photo with the doorway and stairs and we will confirm a fixed price rather than run it hourly.

    Link to this answer
  • What about parking around Queen's Park and the East Lancashire Railway station?

    Rochdale Borough 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.

    Link to this answer
  • How quickly can you get a van to Heywood?

    Most man-and-van jobs in Heywood are covered within 48 hours, and we hold same-day slots back for short-notice work. Evenings and weekends run at the same rate.

    Link to this answer
  • Do you cover the areas around Heywood?

    Yes — Rochdale, Middleton, Bury, Royton, Whitefield and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page and the same pricing.

    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.

    Link to this answer
  • Is man with a van charged by the hour or as a fixed price?

    Either. Part-loads and single items are usually hourly with a two-hour minimum; whole-flat moves are quoted as a fixed price once we know the inventory, the floor and the parking.

    Link to this answer
  • Will the driver help carry?

    Yes — the price always includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second porter for heavy furniture or upper-floor flats without a lift.
