Driver plus a porter
Every Higher Broughton booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
Salford · M7 · Salford City Council
A man and van in Higher Broughton 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 M7, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
Large villas and semis, many with extensions for large families, plus interwar terraces. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Higher Broughton man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

Man and van in Higher Broughton
A man with a van in Higher Broughton is the right call when you have a part-load rather than a whole house: a bed and a sofa, a student room, an eBay pickup or a two-room flat. Large villas and semis, many with extensions for large families, plus interwar terraces. Access is what sets the hours here, so we ask about the floor, the stairwell and the parking before quoting.
Hourly work only stays cheap if the hours are honest. We quote a two-hour minimum from arrival, confirm the walk-in distance around Bury New Road's Victorian villas and Broughton Park, and hold the price we gave you unless you add items on the day.

What the hourly rate buys
Every Higher Broughton 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 Salford City 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 Bury New Road's Victorian villas and Broughton Park — 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. With Higher Broughton drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.
Halls to house-share, term-time storage runs and box loads. Salford City Council loading rules on the M7 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
A full flat in one or two van loads with two crew. Crews run from Salford, so Lower Broughton and Salford journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
The half of the move you cannot fit in the car. Local context matters here: a wealthy 19th-century merchant suburb; broughton park later became the centre of manchester's haredi community, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Flat-pack, appliance and showroom collections, assembled on request. Crews run from Salford, so Lower Broughton and Salford journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Desks, chairs, servers and archive boxes between small offices. Roughly 5,500 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Access, parking and timing
Large villas and semis, many with extensions for large families, plus interwar terraces. That stock, the street it sits on and the Salford City Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
We schedule Higher Broughton jobs so the loading window sits outside the Salford rush; end-of-month Fridays are the first dates to go, so book those two to three weeks out where you can. Kosher grocers, synagogues and faith schools along Leicester Road and Bury Old Road, alongside Salford University students renting the larger villas — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Floor and lift, stair turns, parking distance and anything oversized — those four set the price of a van run here far more than the M7 postcode does. Show us all four on the video survey and the figure is fixed. Kosher grocers, synagogues and faith schools along Leicester Road and Bury Old Road, alongside Salford University students renting the larger villas — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
With a drive and side access the load runs quickly; the survey concentrates on garages, garden rooms and anything oversized that needs a second pair of hands or a leg-off. Kosher grocers, synagogues and faith schools along Leicester Road and Bury Old Road, alongside Salford University students renting the larger villas — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Parking is arranged before the date is confirmed: we check the restriction on your street with Salford City Council, book a suspension or a permit bay if the carry would otherwise be long, and tell you at survey what it adds. With Higher Broughton drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.
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 Salford rather than starting from a blank form.
Fixed short run
A sofa, a bed frame or a marketplace pickup carried from a four-bed detached to a Lower Broughton or Salford address, priced as a fixed short run rather than a minimum-hours block. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Higher Broughton or across to Lower Broughton.
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. Crews run from Salford, so Lower Broughton and Salford journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
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. Local context matters here: a wealthy 19th-century merchant suburb; broughton park later became the centre of manchester's haredi community, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
£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. Local context matters here: a wealthy 19th-century merchant suburb; broughton park later became the centre of manchester's haredi community, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
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.
