Man with a van in Pendleton

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. Salford City Council loading rules on the M6 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

The clock starts when we arrive at your Pendleton address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach M6, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Salford. Local context matters here: a cotton-spinning township absorbed into salford; the 1960s deck-access blocks were later re-clad and re-let, 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 — Salford customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Pendleton or across to Salford.

Most man-and-van jobs in Pendleton are covered within 48 hours, and we hold same-day slots back for short-notice work. Evenings and weekends run at the same rate. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Pendleton or across to Salford.

Yes — single-item collections and deliveries are one of the most common Pendleton bookings. Send a photo with the doorway and stairs and we will confirm a fixed price rather than run it hourly. Salford City Council loading rules on the M6 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

Salford 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. In Pendleton that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.

Blocks in this part of Salford 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. In Pendleton that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.

Most M6 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. Hospital shift workers, the Salford Shopping City precinct and student housing — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

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. In Pendleton that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.

Often, yes — Salford City Council controls loading on most M6 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Pendleton or across to Salford.
