Man with a van in Lower Broughton

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. Local context matters here: repeated irwell flooding shaped the estate layout; castle irwell racecourse then student village occupied the loop, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

The clock starts when we arrive at your Lower Broughton address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach M7, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Salford. Riverside walks, Albion High School and a young, mixed population — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Often, yes — Salford City Council controls loading on most M7 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. Crews run from Salford, so Higher Broughton and Salford journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Lower Broughton or across to Higher Broughton.

Most M7 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. Booked most often on the M7 streets around The Irwell meander.

Lift bookings and loading-bay slots decide the day here: we confirm the concierge window before the crew leaves the depot, and carry protection for lift cars and communal carpet as standard. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Local context matters here: repeated irwell flooding shaped the estate layout; castle irwell racecourse then student village occupied the loop, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Lower Broughton or across to Higher Broughton.

Yes — single-item collections and deliveries are one of the most common Lower Broughton bookings. Send a photo with the doorway and stairs and we will confirm a fixed price rather than run it hourly. Booked most often on the M7 streets around The Irwell meander.

Yes — Higher Broughton, Salford, Cheetham Hill, Pendleton, Crumpsall and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page and the same pricing. Riverside walks, Albion High School and a young, mixed population — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Most man-and-van jobs in Lower Broughton are covered within 48 hours, and we hold same-day slots back for short-notice work. Evenings and weekends run at the same rate. Crews run from Salford, so Higher Broughton and Salford journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

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 — Higher Broughton customers usually clear those with the same booking. In Lower Broughton that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
