Driver plus a porter
Every Timperley booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
Trafford · WA15 · Trafford Council
A man and van in Timperley 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 WA15, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
1930s and 1950s semis with long gardens, plus modern infill. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Timperley man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

Man and van in Timperley
A man with a van in Timperley 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. 1930s and 1950s semis with long gardens, plus modern infill. 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 Timperley Old Hall and the Bridgewater Canal, and hold the price we gave you unless you add items on the day.

What the hourly rate buys
Every Timperley 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 Trafford 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 Timperley Old Hall and the Bridgewater Canal — 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.
Send the property size, access notes and dates. Photos of anything awkward in Timperley — stairs, narrow entries, permit bays — sharpen the price straight away.
We price your van booking in writing, usually the same day, with the labour, materials and disposal all itemised so nothing appears later.
Morning or afternoon, weekly, fortnightly or one-off. Recurring visits keep the same slot, so Timperley clients know exactly when the door will go.
The team works to the agreed spec, walks the finished work with you and only closes the job once you're happy. Anything missed, we come back.
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 Timperley.
Everyone we send into a Timperley property is ID-checked, DBS-screened and works under our own supervision — no unvetted subcontracting.
Every job in Timperley is insured to £5m public liability, with goods-in-transit cover on anything we lift, load or take away.
You get the an insured man and van price in writing before we start. Access, stair turns and parking are priced in up front, not added afterwards.
Slots are planned around Timperley traffic, permit zones and parking realities, so crews arrive inside the window we promised.
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.

Our Trafford crews cover Timperley weekly, so the man-and-van move you book is priced on what Timperley homes are really like, not a regional average. A rural township that filled with interwar semis once the Metrolink's predecessor railway arrived — useful context when you are quoting surfaces, not square metres.
Locally, canal-side damp and dense garden planting keep patios and block paving green on shaded plots, so we bring the products and dwell times that problem needs. We work around timperley Village Festival when we set arrival windows in WA15. Coverage runs across WA15 and the Trafford streets either side of it.
