Man with a van in Shaw and Crompton

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. With Shaw and Crompton drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.

The clock starts when we arrive at your Shaw and Crompton address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach OL2, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Oldham. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Shaw and Crompton or across to Royton.

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 — Royton customers usually clear those with the same booking. Local context matters here: cotton wealth in the 1920s made shaw famously rich; the mills now house logistics and light industry, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

Most OL2 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. Oldham Council loading rules on the OL2 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

Detached properties usually park the van on the drive, so labour goes into volume rather than carry distance: outbuildings, garden machinery and large-format furniture set the crew size. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held.
