Manchester · M40 · Manchester City Council
A man and van in New 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 M40, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.

Man and van in New Moston
Man with a van New Moston covers single items, part-loads and small flat moves across M40. Bay-fronted 1930s semis with drives and long gardens, plus postwar infill towards Failsworth. 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 New 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 £1m public liability. Certificates issued with your confirmation.
Sofa collections, mattress deliveries, flat-pack pickups and student moves around Broadhurst Park and Moston Brook local nature reserve — 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. Roughly 4,600 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Halls to house-share, term-time storage runs and box loads. Priced the same whether you are moving inside New Moston or across to Moston.
A full flat in one or two van loads with two crew. Roughly 4,600 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
The half of the move you cannot fit in the car. Crews run from Manchester, so Moston and Failsworth journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Flat-pack, appliance and showroom collections, assembled on request. Local context matters here: laid out from the 1900s as speculative semis for clerks working in the city; the colliery at moston closed in 1950 and the land became parkland, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Desks, chairs, servers and archive boxes between small offices. Crews run from Manchester, so Moston and Failsworth journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Access, parking and timing
Bay-fronted 1930s semis with drives and long gardens, plus postwar infill towards Failsworth. That stock, the street it sits on and the Manchester City Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
Manchester City Council sets the loading, suspension and permit rules across M40. Where a bay suspension is needed near Broadhurst Park and Moston Brook local nature reserve we apply for it in advance and the cost sits in the written quote, not on an invoice afterwards. Priced the same whether you are moving inside New Moston or across to Moston.
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. Crews run from Manchester, so Moston and Failsworth journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
A five-minute video walk-through covering every room, the stairwell and the street is enough to fix the price. Anything you add later is quoted before we start, never after loading. Most New Moston properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Quiet interwar suburb north-east of the city, built around Moston Brook and the old Nuthurst estate. Loads out of here run best on an early start, before the Manchester school and commuter peak closes the approach roads. We plan the route with that in mind rather than quoting an optimistic drive time. FC United of Manchester at Broadhurst Park, Moston Brook volunteers and long-settled family streets — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
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.
Same service, next door
Vans are routed from Manchester bases with Broadhurst Park and Moston Brook local nature reserve as the local reference point, so there is no travel surcharge anywhere inside Greater Manchester.
Our Manchester crews cover New Moston weekly, so the man-and-van move you book is priced on what New Moston homes are really like, not a regional average. Laid out from the 1900s as speculative semis for clerks working in the city; the colliery at Moston closed in 1950 and the land became parkland. That history is why the interiors here need the attention they do.
Our teams plan for one recurring New Moston issue: brook-valley damp and clay ground mean mossy paving and green north-facing render on the older semis. FC United of Manchester at Broadhurst Park, Moston Brook volunteers and long-settled family streets — we plan access and arrival times around all of it. Coverage runs across M40 and the Manchester streets either side of it.

Link to this answerThe clock starts when we arrive at your New Moston address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach M40, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Manchester. Manchester City Council loading rules on the M40 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Link to this answerYes — single-item collections and deliveries are one of the most common New Moston bookings. Send a photo with the doorway and stairs and we will confirm a fixed price rather than run it hourly. Crews run from Manchester, so Moston and Failsworth journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerManchester 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. Local context matters here: laid out from the 1900s as speculative semis for clerks working in the city; the colliery at moston closed in 1950 and the land became parkland, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerMost man-and-van jobs in New Moston are covered within 48 hours, and we hold same-day slots back for short-notice work. Evenings and weekends run at the same rate. FC United of Manchester at Broadhurst Park, Moston Brook volunteers and long-settled family streets — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerYes — Moston, Failsworth, Blackley, Harpurhey, Newton Heath and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page and the same pricing. Most New Moston properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Link to this answerOnce 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.

FC United of Manchester at Broadhurst Park, Moston Brook volunteers and long-settled family streets — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Manchester City Council controls loading on most M40 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. FC United of Manchester at Broadhurst Park, Moston Brook volunteers and long-settled family streets — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerDriveway loading makes these moves efficient. What moves the price is the loft, the garage and the shed, so the survey deliberately opens all three. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. FC United of Manchester at Broadhurst Park, Moston Brook volunteers and long-settled family streets — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerMost M40 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside New Moston or across to Moston.
Link to this answerPianos, 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 — Moston customers usually clear those with the same booking. FC United of Manchester at Broadhurst Park, Moston Brook volunteers and long-settled family streets — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Most complaints about removals in Manchester come down to three things: the price changed, the crew was short, or nobody answered the phone. These are our commitments on all three.
Call 020 3633 4555 and ask what a man and van job like yours costs from £45 an hour. If a cheaper option fits better — a smaller van, an hourly booking, a different day — we will say so.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every New Moston van run, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
Your load stays sealed and insured overnight for a fixed fee and delivers first thing — we do not unload onto a driveway or re-quote the second day at short-notice rates.
