Driver plus a porter
Every Mossley booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
Tameside · OL5 · Tameside Council
A man and van in Mossley 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 OL5, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
Steep stone terraces with stone-flagged yards and hillside cottages. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Mossley man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

Man and van in Mossley
A man with a van in Mossley is the right call when you have a part-load rather than a whole house: a bed and a sofa, a student room, an eBay pickup or a two-room flat. Steep stone terraces with stone-flagged yards and hillside cottages. Access is what sets the hours here, so we ask about the floor, the stairwell and the parking before quoting.
Hourly work only stays cheap if the hours are honest. We quote a two-hour minimum from arrival, confirm the walk-in distance around The Huddersfield Narrow Canal and Mossley's Micklehurst hillside, and hold the price we gave you unless you add items on the day.

What the hourly rate buys
Every Mossley 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 Tameside 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 The Huddersfield Narrow Canal and Mossley's Micklehurst hillside — 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.
Tell us the number of rooms, what matters most and how we get in. Access quirks in Mossley are worth mentioning now: they change the time on site more than the floor area does.
You get a written figure for your van booking, itemised, normally within a few hours. No survey fee, and no surcharge for travelling to Mossley.
Morning or afternoon, weekly, fortnightly or one-off. Recurring visits keep the same slot, so Mossley clients know exactly when the door will go.
Work runs to the written spec, and the job isn't closed until it has been checked against it. If something on the list was missed, we return and put it right free.
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 Mossley.
Every job in Mossley 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 Mossley 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 |
Every quote includes blankets, straps, trolley, fuel inside Greater Manchester and goods-in-transit cover.

Booking a man-and-van move in Mossley means working around steep stone terraces with stone-flagged yards and hillside cottages — the stock that defines OL5. The place looks the way it does for a reason: a woollen-and-cotton town split across three historic counties.
Locally, highest rainfall and lowest sun exposure in Tameside — gritstone stays damp and green almost year-round, so we bring the products and dwell times that problem needs. Mossley AFC, the Vale pubs and a strong arts and walking scene — we plan access and arrival times around all of it. Coverage runs across OL5 and the Tameside streets either side of it.
