Man with a van in Milnrow

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.

Semis here usually give you a driveway or a dropped kerb, which keeps the carry short — the time goes into loft contents, garage shelving and the garden kit people forget to mention until the day. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held.

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.
