Man with a van in Salford

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. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

The clock starts when we arrive at your Salford address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach M5 or M6 or M7, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Salford. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Salford or across to Ordsall.

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. Salford City Council loading rules on the M5 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

Often, yes — Salford City Council controls loading on most M5 and M6 and M7 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 Salford or across to Ordsall.

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. Crews run from Salford, so Ordsall and Pendleton journeys carry no out-of-area charge.

Most M5 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. University of Salford students, Chapel Street bars and long-rooted Salford families — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Yes — single-item collections and deliveries are one of the most common Salford bookings. Send a photo with the doorway and stairs and we will confirm a fixed price rather than run it hourly. In Salford that usually means a lift booking and a timed loading bay before the crew sets off.

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

Most man-and-van jobs in Salford are covered within 48 hours, and we hold same-day slots back for short-notice work. Evenings and weekends run at the same rate. Local context matters here: l. s. lowry painted these streets; chapel street was one of the first gas-lit streets in the world, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

Yes — Ordsall, Pendleton, Lower Broughton, Higher Broughton, Salford Quays and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page and the same pricing. Roughly 47,000 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

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 — Ordsall customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Salford or across to Ordsall.
