Driver plus a porter
Every Middleton booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
Rochdale · M24 · Rochdale Borough Council
A man and van in Middleton 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 M24, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
Interwar Corporation estates, Victorian terraces and Alkrington's 1930s semis. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Middleton man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

What the hourly rate buys
Every Middleton 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 Rochdale Borough 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 St Leonard's Church and Edgar Wood's Long Street Methodist Church — 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.
A few lines is enough to start: rooms, frequency and the Middleton street you're on. Anything unusual — a shared stairwell, a key-safe, a dog — is better said up front than discovered on the day.
We price your van booking in writing, usually the same day, with the labour, materials and disposal all itemised so nothing appears later.
Pick the day and window that suits you. Rounds are built geographically around Middleton, which is why the arrival time holds rather than drifting across the day.
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.
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 Middleton.
Slots are planned around Middleton 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.
Cleaning, moving, handyman and clearance all run from the same Middleton scheduling desk, so a multi-part job needs one booking.
Everyone we send into a Middleton property is ID-checked, DBS-screened and works under our own supervision — no unvetted subcontracting.
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.

St Leonard's Church and Edgar Wood's Long Street Methodist Church anchors the round we run through Middleton, and every man-and-van move in Middleton on that round starts from the same local checklist.

Our teams plan for one recurring Middleton issue: irk valley damp plus M60 spray mean recurring green growth on north-facing render and paving.
