Man with a van in Orrell

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. Crews run from Wigan, so Billinge and Wigan journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

The clock starts when we arrive at your Orrell address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach WN5, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Wigan. Local context matters here: orrell rufc were english club champions in 1992; before that, coal and quarrying shaped the village, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

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. Paint, fuel, gas bottles and perishables we cannot legally carry — Billinge customers usually clear those with the same booking. Booked most often on the WN5 streets around Orrell Water Park.

Most WN5 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. With Orrell drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.

Detached properties usually park the van on the drive, so labour goes into volume rather than carry distance: outbuildings, garden machinery and large-format furniture set the crew size. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held.

Once 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. Roughly 4,800 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

Wigan 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. Wigan Council loading rules on the WN5 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
