Driver plus a porter
Every Pendleton booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
Salford · M6 · Salford City Council
A man and van in Pendleton 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 M6, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
High-rise blocks, terraces off Broad Street and new-build infill. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Pendleton man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

Man and van in Pendleton
Man with a van Pendleton covers single items, part-loads and small flat moves across M6. High-rise blocks, terraces off Broad Street and new-build infill. 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 Pendleton 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 Salford Royal Hospital and Buile Hill 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 Pendleton — stairs, narrow entries, permit bays — sharpen the price straight away.
The quote is fixed before anyone books time off work: labour, products and any extras listed separately, so you can cut the scope rather than the standard if the number is over budget.
Pick the day and window that suits you. Rounds are built geographically around Pendleton, which is why the arrival time holds rather than drifting across the day.
The team works to the agreed spec, walks the finished work with you and only closes the job once you're happy. Anything missed, we come back.
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 Pendleton.
Everyone we send into a Pendleton property is ID-checked, DBS-screened and works under our own supervision — no unvetted subcontracting.
Every job in Pendleton 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 Pendleton traffic, permit zones and parking realities, so crews arrive inside the window we promised.
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.

Pendleton is not a generic Salford postcode to us: central Salford district around the shopping centre, and that shapes how a man-and-van move in Pendleton actually runs here. A cotton-spinning township absorbed into Salford; the 1960s deck-access blocks were later re-clad and re-let — useful context when you are quoting surfaces, not square metres.
Locally, a6 traffic and hospital-run vehicle movement leave heavy road film on communal entrances, so we bring the products and dwell times that problem needs. Hospital shift workers, the Salford Shopping City precinct and student housing — we plan access and arrival times around all of it. Coverage runs across M6 and the Salford streets either side of it.

Reliable Service with Quick Turnaround
“We’re very happy with the end of tenancy cleaning service provided by Hello Services Ltd. The team arrived on time and completed the work within the agreed timeframe. Everything was finished in less than 3 hours, and the service was efficient and well organised. One small suggestion for improvement would be to dry the floors after cleaning, as some dried water traces were left once the floors dried. Overall, we’re satisfied with the service and would recommend them.”
