Driver plus a porter
Every Prestwich booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
Bury · M25 · Bury Council
A man and van in Prestwich 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 M25, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
Edwardian and 1930s semis, Victorian villas and modern apartments. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Prestwich man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

Man and van in Prestwich
A man with a van in Prestwich is the right call when you have a part-load rather than a whole house: a bed and a sofa, a student room, an eBay pickup or a two-room flat. Edwardian and 1930s semis, Victorian villas and modern apartments. Access is what sets the hours here, so we ask about the floor, the stairwell and the parking before quoting.
Hourly work only stays cheap if the hours are honest. We quote a two-hour minimum from arrival, confirm the walk-in distance around Heaton Park — one of Europe's largest municipal parks, and hold the price we gave you unless you add items on the day.

What the hourly rate buys
Every Prestwich 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 Bury 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 Heaton Park — one of Europe's largest municipal parks — 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.
A few lines is enough to start: rooms, frequency and the Prestwich street you're on. Anything unusual — a shared stairwell, a key-safe, a dog — is better said up front than discovered on the day.
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 Prestwich, 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 Prestwich.
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.
Cleaning, moving, handyman and clearance all run from the same Prestwich scheduling desk, so a multi-part job needs one booking.
Everyone we send into a Prestwich property is ID-checked, DBS-screened and works under our own supervision — no unvetted subcontracting.
Every job in Prestwich is insured to £5m public liability, with goods-in-transit cover on anything we lift, load or take away.
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.

Vans are routed from Bury bases with Heaton Park — one of Europe's largest municipal parks as the local reference point, so there is no travel surcharge anywhere inside Greater Manchester.

Our Bury crews cover Prestwich weekly, so the man-and-van move you book is priced on what Prestwich homes are really like, not a regional average. An ancient parish whose village grew into a commuter suburb after the 1879 railway, now the Metrolink. That history is why the interiors here need the attention they do.
Our teams plan for one recurring Prestwich issue: heaton Park tree cover drops heavy leaf and sap onto driveways and conservatory roofs each autumn. Scheduling fits around prestwich Village bars and delis, and parking is agreed before the van sets off. Coverage runs across M25 and the Bury streets either side of it.

End of tenancy cleaning
“We recently hired hello services for an end of tenancy. What an amazing service they offer. They always kept me up to date, even offered to pick up the keys from agent. Brilliant all round. Very happy with the cleaning”

“Really easy & straight forward website to get services booked in, with lots of choice for all cleaning required. Good communication from the customer services team. The two male cleaners were friendly and provided a professional and fantastic deep clean service. Outstanding result and the house looks pristine, the oven is so clean it looks brand new. Equally the fridge & freezer clean was also brilliant. They used my wood floor cleaner for my new wood floors which I really appreciated. The house looks so good and extremely happy & satisfied with the job they did. I have had health issues so the deep clean service was very helpful for me and my puppy. I would highly recommend this team for deep cleaning services, excellent value for money. Definitely a 5 star service, just absolutely brilliant as the house looks like a million dollars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
