Manchester · M22 · Manchester City Council
A man and van in Northenden 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 M22, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
Interwar semis and 1930s parades, older village cottages near the church and riverside apartment blocks. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Northenden man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

What the hourly rate buys
Every Northenden 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 St Wilfrid's Church and the Mersey weir at Northenden — 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 6,300 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 Northenden or across to Wythenshawe.
A full flat in one or two van loads with two crew. Roughly 6,300 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 Wythenshawe and Didsbury journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Flat-pack, appliance and showroom collections, assembled on request. Local context matters here: a domesday village on the cheshire bank of the mersey, transferred to manchester in 1931 to serve the new wythenshawe estate, 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 Wythenshawe and Didsbury journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Access, parking and timing
Interwar semis and 1930s parades, older village cottages near the church and riverside apartment blocks. 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.
Parking is arranged before the date is confirmed: we check the restriction on your street with Manchester City Council, book a suspension or a permit bay if the carry would otherwise be long, and tell you at survey what it adds. Booked most often on the M22 streets around St Wilfrid's Church.
Lift bookings and loading-bay slots decide the day here: we confirm the concierge window before the crew leaves the depot, and carry protection for lift cars and communal carpet as standard. Manchester City Council loading rules on the M22 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Floor and lift, stair turns, parking distance and anything oversized — those four set the price of a van run here far more than the M22 postcode does. Show us all four on the video survey and the figure is fixed. In Northenden that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
We schedule Northenden jobs so the loading window sits outside the Manchester rush; end-of-month Fridays are the first dates to go, so book those two to three weeks out where you can. Palatine Road independents, Northenden Golf Club, the riverside path and the Simon's Bridge crossing — 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 St Wilfrid's Church and the Mersey weir at Northenden as the local reference point, so there is no travel surcharge anywhere inside Greater Manchester.
Our Manchester crews cover Northenden weekly, so the man-and-van move you book is priced on what Northenden homes are really like, not a regional average. The place looks the way it does for a reason: a Domesday village on the Cheshire bank of the Mersey.
Our teams plan for one recurring Northenden issue: mersey flood-plain damp keeps patios. Scheduling fits around palatine Road independents, and parking is agreed before the van sets off. Coverage runs across M22 and the Manchester streets either side of it.

Riverside village centre on the Mersey at the northern edge of Wythenshawe, with a compact independent high street. A Domesday village on the Cheshire bank of the Mersey, transferred to Manchester in 1931 to serve the new Wythenshawe estate.
Palatine Road independents, Northenden Golf Club, the riverside path and the Simon's Bridge crossing. The best-known landmark is St Wilfrid's Church and the Mersey weir at Northenden, and the M22 postcodes reach Wythenshawe, Didsbury, Gatley, Burnage within a short drive.
For a man-and-van move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: interwar semis and 1930s parades, older village cottages near the church and riverside apartment blocks. Mersey flood-plain damp keeps patios, gravel boards and north-facing render green; silt lines show on drives after high water.
Answers before you book
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. Fuel inside Greater Manchester, blankets, straps and a trolley are all included. In Northenden that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.
Link to this answerThe clock starts when we arrive at your Northenden address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach M22, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Manchester. Roughly 6,300 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
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 — Wythenshawe customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Northenden or across to Wythenshawe.
Link to this answerYes — single-item collections and deliveries are one of the most common Northenden 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 Wythenshawe and Didsbury 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. Crews run from Manchester, so Wythenshawe and Didsbury journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerMost man-and-van jobs in Northenden are covered within 48 hours, and we hold same-day slots back for short-notice work. Evenings and weekends run at the same rate. Local context matters here: a domesday village on the cheshire bank of the mersey, transferred to manchester in 1931 to serve the new wythenshawe estate, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerYes — Wythenshawe, Didsbury, Gatley, Burnage, Sale and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page and the same pricing.

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. We will tell you which is better value when we quote. Palatine Road independents, Northenden Golf Club, the riverside path and the Simon's Bridge crossing — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Manchester City Council controls loading on most M22 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. Roughly 6,300 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerBlocks in this part of Manchester run one goods lift and a timed bay. We book both at survey, and if the lift is out the quote already carries the stair-carry hours rather than adding them on the day. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Palatine Road independents, Northenden Golf Club, the riverside path and the Simon's Bridge crossing — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerMost M22 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. Palatine Road independents, Northenden Golf Club, the riverside path and the Simon's Bridge crossing — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Northenden 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.
