Man with a van in Uppermill

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

The clock starts when we arrive at your Uppermill address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach OL3, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Oldham. Local context matters here: woollen weaving village of the old west riding; saddleworth only joined greater manchester in 1974, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.

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

Most OL3 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. Whit Friday brass band contests, the Rushcart festival and canal-side cafés — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

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.

Often, yes — Oldham Council controls loading on most OL3 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. Roughly 2,200 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

Oldham 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.
