Driver plus a porter
Every Pendlebury booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
Salford · M27 · Salford City Council
A man and van in Pendlebury 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 M27, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
Colliery and mill terraces off Bolton Road, interwar semis and postwar estates on the reclaimed Agecroft land. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Pendlebury man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

Man and van in Pendlebury
Man with a van Pendlebury covers single items, part-loads and small flat moves across M27. Colliery and mill terraces off Bolton Road, interwar semis and postwar estates on the reclaimed Agecroft land. That stock decides whether one porter is enough or a second pair of hands saves you an hour.
Salford 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 Pendlebury 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 Salford 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 St Augustine's Church, Pendlebury — Bodley's 'cathedral of the Manchester coalfield' — 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. Crews run from Salford, so Swinton and Salford journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Halls to house-share, term-time storage runs and box loads. Pendlebury Health Centre, Clifton Country Park nearby and Swinton-facing high street trade — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
A full flat in one or two van loads with two crew. Most Pendlebury properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
The half of the move you cannot fit in the car. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Pendlebury or across to Swinton.
Flat-pack, appliance and showroom collections, assembled on request. Most Pendlebury properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Desks, chairs, servers and archive boxes between small offices. Booked most often on the M27 streets around St Augustine's Church.
Access, parking and timing
Colliery and mill terraces off Bolton Road, interwar semis and postwar estates on the reclaimed Agecroft land. That stock, the street it sits on and the Salford City Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
Start times here are set by the access, not the diary: where a lift, a bay or a school-run street is involved the crew starts early and finishes inside the day rather than paying for a second visit. Roughly 5,400 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Tell us about the loft, the garage, the shed and anything that will not come apart. It is the unlisted items, not the address, that turn a comfortable day into an overtime one. Salford City Council loading rules on the M27 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.
Driveway loading makes these moves efficient. What moves the price is the loft, the garage and the shed, so the survey deliberately opens all three. Crews run from Salford, so Swinton and Salford journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
The crew should be carrying, not circling. We confirm the restriction type on the M27 end, arrange a suspension through Salford City Council where it is worth it, and plan the closest legal standing point to the door. Roughly 5,400 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Booked here week to week
If one of these looks like yours, say so when you enquire — we will quote it from the closest job we have already done in Salford rather than starting from a blank form.
Fixed short run
A sofa, a bed frame or a marketplace pickup carried from a three-bed semi to a Swinton or Salford address, priced as a fixed short run rather than a minimum-hours block. Most Pendlebury properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
3–4 hours typical
A Luton or LWB van and one mover covers a flat's contents in three to four hours here, including the stair carry the survey has already counted. Most Pendlebury properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Same-day slots
Term-end and short-let changeovers run to a tight window: we take the load, drop what is not going with you at a licensed transfer station, and clear the room the same afternoon. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Pendlebury or across to Swinton.
£65 an hour, two movers
Where a stair turn or a wardrobe means two pairs of hands, the second mover is added at £65 an hour for the whole job — quoted before the van is booked. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Pendlebury or across to Swinton.
Send the property size, access notes and dates. Photos of anything awkward in Pendlebury — stairs, narrow entries, permit bays — sharpen the price straight away.
We price your van booking in writing, usually the same day, with the labour, materials and disposal all itemised so nothing appears later.
Pick the day and window that suits you. Rounds are built geographically around Pendlebury, which is why the arrival time holds rather than drifting across the day.
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 Pendlebury.
Cleaning, moving, handyman and clearance all run from the same Pendlebury scheduling desk, so a multi-part job needs one booking.
Everyone we send into a Pendlebury property is ID-checked, DBS-screened and works under our own supervision — no unvetted subcontracting.
Every job in Pendlebury 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 Pendlebury means working around colliery and mill terraces off Bolton Road — the stock that defines M27. Agecroft Colliery and the Pendlebury cotton mills built the terraces; L. S. Lowry painted the town while working as a rent collector here — useful context when you are quoting surfaces, not square metres.
Our teams plan for one recurring Pendlebury issue: reclaimed colliery ground and Bolton Road traffic mean silted drives and a fast grey film on white uPVC. Pendlebury Health Centre, Clifton Country Park nearby and Swinton-facing high street trade — we plan access and arrival times around all of it. Coverage runs across M27 and the Salford streets either side of it.

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. Most Pendlebury properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Link to this answerThe clock starts when we arrive at your Pendlebury address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach M27, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Salford. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Pendlebury or across to Swinton.
Link to this answerYes — the price always includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second porter for heavy furniture or upper-floor flats without a lift. Pendlebury Health Centre, Clifton Country Park nearby and Swinton-facing high street trade — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerEither. Part-loads and single items are usually hourly with a two-hour minimum; whole-flat moves are quoted as a fixed price once we know the inventory, the floor and the parking. Roughly 5,400 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 — Swinton customers usually clear those with the same booking. Booked most often on the M27 streets around St Augustine's Church.
Link to this answerOften, yes — Salford City Council controls loading on most M27 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. Booked most often on the M27 streets around St Augustine's Church.
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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Pendlebury or across to Swinton.
Link to this answerMost M27 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. Most Pendlebury properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Link to this answerSemis 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. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Most Pendlebury properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.
Link to this answerSalford 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Pendlebury or across to Swinton.
Link to this answerYes — single-item collections and deliveries are one of the most common Pendlebury bookings. Send a photo with the doorway and stairs and we will confirm a fixed price rather than run it hourly. Booked most often on the M27 streets around St Augustine's Church.

Before you book
Before you pay a deposit anywhere, check the quote answers these four questions. Ours does, in writing, before your Pendlebury date is held.
Access, stair turns, parking and carry distance are all priced at survey. If nothing is added to the inventory, the M27 figure you accepted is the figure you pay.
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.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Pendlebury van run, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
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.
