Man with a van in Irlam

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. Salford City Council loading rules on the M44 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

The clock starts when we arrive at your Irlam address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach M44, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Salford. Local context matters here: the lancashire steel works employed the town for decades; the site is now northbank industrial estate, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

Most man-and-van jobs in Irlam are covered within 48 hours, and we hold same-day slots back for short-notice work. Evenings and weekends run at the same rate. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Irlam or across to Cadishead.

Yes — Cadishead, Eccles, Partington, Urmston, Worsley and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page and the same pricing. Roughly 6,000 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

Yes — single-item collections and deliveries are one of the most common Irlam bookings. Send a photo with the doorway and stairs and we will confirm a fixed price rather than run it hourly. Salford City Council loading rules on the M44 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

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

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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Irlam or across to Cadishead.

Most M44 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. Irlam and Cadishead Academy, Princes Park and a proud independent identity — 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. Most Irlam properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.

Often, yes — Salford City Council controls loading on most M44 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Irlam or across to Cadishead.

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