What the hourly rate buys
Every Partington 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 Trafford 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 Manchester Ship Canal at Partington and Broadoak Park — 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.
Send the property size, access notes and dates. Photos of anything awkward in Partington — stairs, narrow entries, permit bays — sharpen the price straight away.
You get a written figure for your van booking, itemised, normally within a few hours. No survey fee, and no surcharge for travelling to Partington.
Morning or afternoon, weekly, fortnightly or one-off. Recurring visits keep the same slot, so Partington 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 Partington.
Every job in Partington 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 Partington 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.

The Manchester Ship Canal at Partington and Broadoak Park anchors the round we run through Partington, and every man-and-van move in Partington on that round starts from the same local checklist. Built out as Manchester overspill housing in the 1950s beside the coaling basin and chemical works — useful context when you are quoting surfaces, not square metres.
Our teams plan for one recurring Partington issue: open canal-side exposure means wind-driven rain streaks render and fascias on west elevations. Partington Sports Village, the community hub and canal-side walks — we plan access and arrival times around all of it. Coverage runs across M31 and the Trafford streets either side of it.
