Driver plus a porter
Every Horwich booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
Bolton · BL6 · Bolton Council
A man and van in Horwich 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 BL6, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
Railway-works terraces, stone cottages and large new estates on the works site. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Horwich man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

What the hourly rate buys
Every Horwich 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 Bolton 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 Rivington Pike and the Bolton Wanderers stadium at Horwich Parkway — 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.
Send the property size, access notes and dates. Photos of anything awkward in Horwich — stairs, narrow entries, permit bays — sharpen the price straight away.
You get a written figure for your van booking, itemised, normally within a few hours. No survey fee, and no surcharge for travelling to Horwich.
Morning or afternoon, weekly, fortnightly or one-off. Recurring visits keep the same slot, so Horwich clients know exactly when the door will go.
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 Horwich.
Every job in Horwich is insured to £5m public liability, with goods-in-transit cover on anything we lift, load or take away.
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.
Slots are planned around Horwich traffic, permit zones and parking realities, so crews arrive inside the window we promised.
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.
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 |

Rivington Pike and the Bolton Wanderers stadium at Horwich Parkway anchors the round we run through Horwich, and every man-and-van move in Horwich on that round starts from the same local checklist. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway locomotive works dominated Horwich from 1886 to 1983. That history is why the interiors here need the attention they do.
Locally, rivington run-off and West Pennine rainfall keep stone paving and rendered gables persistently damp, so we bring the products and dwell times that problem needs. We work around rivington walkers and cyclists when we set arrival windows in BL6. Coverage runs across BL6 and the Bolton streets either side of it.
