Driver plus a porter
Every Radcliffe booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
Bury · M26 · Bury Council
A man and van in Radcliffe 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 M26, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
Terraces, interwar semis and new-build estates on former works land. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Radcliffe man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

What the hourly rate buys
Every Radcliffe 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 Radcliffe Tower (14th-century) and Close 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.
Tell us the number of rooms, what matters most and how we get in. Access quirks in Radcliffe are worth mentioning now: they change the time on site more than the floor area does.
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.
Choose a morning or afternoon window. We plan around Radcliffe traffic and parking so the crew arrives inside it.
You get a finished-work check against the same list you agreed at the start — no vague "all done" message. Anything below standard is re-done at our cost.
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 Radcliffe.
Slots are planned around Radcliffe 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.
Cleaning, moving, handyman and clearance all run from the same Radcliffe scheduling desk, so a multi-part job needs one booking.
Everyone we send into a Radcliffe property is ID-checked, DBS-screened and works under our own supervision — no unvetted subcontracting.
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.
Same service, next door
Vans are routed from Bury bases with Radcliffe Tower (14th-century) and Close Park as the local reference point, so there is no travel surcharge anywhere inside Greater Manchester.
Not listed? See every Greater Manchester area we cover.
Radcliffe Tower (14th-century) and Close Park anchors the round we run through Radcliffe, and every man-and-van move in Radcliffe on that round starts from the same local checklist. Paper mills, bleach works and collieries lined the Irwell; the tower is all that survives of the medieval manor. That history is why the interiors here need the attention they do.
Irwell flood-plain silt and mill-site made ground mean muddy drives after heavy rain. We budget time for it rather than rushing the finish. Scheduling fits around radcliffe Market Hall's revival, and parking is agreed before the van sets off. Coverage runs across M26 and the Bury streets either side of it.

Reliable, trustworthy and excellent. Can recommend them anytime!
“Cosmina and co. worked hard and did a great job. They worked tirelessly to transform a house, a bit neglected due to busyness and work, into a sparkle. Apart from a 15 minute break, for a drink, they did not stop working and did and excellent job.”
