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.”

About Stretford
Trafford town beside Old Trafford's two stadiums, with the Mall and Longford Park. Once the market-garden 'Porkhampton' feeding Manchester; Trafford Park then made it industrial.
Match-day crowds, Stretford Mall, Longford Park events and a strong civic scene. The best-known landmark is Old Trafford (both the football ground and the cricket ground) and Longford Park, and the M32 postcodes reach Urmston, Sale, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Whalley Range within a short drive.
For a man-and-van move, what matters most locally is the building fabric: victorian terraces, interwar semis and modern apartments near the stadium quarter. Match-day litter, Chester Road traffic film and Trafford Park dust give frontages a fast grey film.

Answers before you book
Stretford man with a van FAQs
How much is a man with a van in Stretford?
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.
Link to this answerDo you charge from your depot or from my door in Stretford?
The clock starts when we arrive at your Stretford address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach M32, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Trafford.
Link to this answerCan you move a single item, like a sofa or a fridge?
Yes — single-item collections and deliveries are one of the most common Stretford bookings. Send a photo with the doorway and stairs and we will confirm a fixed price rather than run it hourly.
Link to this answerWhat about parking around Old Trafford (both the football ground and the cricket ground) and Longford Park?
Trafford 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.
Link to this answerHow quickly can you get a van to Stretford?
Most man-and-van jobs in Stretford are covered within 48 hours, and we hold same-day slots back for short-notice work. Evenings and weekends run at the same rate.
Link to this answerDo you cover the areas around Stretford?
Yes — Urmston, Sale, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Whalley Range, Davyhulme and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page and the same pricing.
Link to this answerWhen should I book removals instead of a man with a van?
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.
Link to this answerIs man with a van charged by the hour or as a fixed price?
Either. Part-loads and single items are usually hourly with a two-hour minimum; whole-flat moves are quoted as a fixed price once we know the inventory, the floor and the parking.
Link to this answerWill the driver help carry?
Yes — the price always includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second porter for heavy furniture or upper-floor flats without a lift.
