Driver plus a porter
Every Moston booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
Manchester · M9 / M40 · Manchester City Council
A man and van in Moston 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 M9 and M40, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
1930s bay-fronted semis with pebbledash, plus council-built terraces. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Moston man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

Man and van in Moston
Man with a van Moston covers single items, part-loads and small flat moves across M9 and M40. 1930s bay-fronted semis with pebbledash, plus council-built terraces. That stock decides whether one porter is enough or a second pair of hands saves you an hour.
Manchester City Council sets the loading and permit rules on these streets, so the bay is arranged before the van leaves. Waiting time, tip runs and lift bookings are all priced up front rather than added to the invoice afterwards.

What the hourly rate buys
Every Moston 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 Manchester City 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 Broadhurst Park, home of FC United of Manchester — 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 Moston street you're on. Anything unusual — a shared stairwell, a key-safe, a dog — is better said up front than discovered on the day.
The quote is fixed before anyone books time off work: labour, products and any extras listed separately, so you can cut the scope rather than the standard if the number is over budget.
Choose a morning or afternoon window. We plan around Moston traffic and parking so the crew arrives inside it.
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 Moston.
Cleaning, moving, handyman and clearance all run from the same Moston scheduling desk, so a multi-part job needs one booking.
Everyone we send into a Moston property is ID-checked, DBS-screened and works under our own supervision — no unvetted subcontracting.
Every job in Moston 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.
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 Moston means working around 1930s bay-fronted semis with pebbledash — the stock that defines M9 and M40. Colliery and railway housing that expanded rapidly with Manchester Corporation estates in the 1920s and 30s — useful context when you are quoting surfaces, not square metres.
Locally, mature street trees drop heavy leaf litter that stains concrete paths each autumn, so we bring the products and dwell times that problem needs. Scheduling fits around fC United match days, and parking is agreed before the van sets off. Coverage runs across M9, M40 and the Manchester streets either side of it.
