Man with a van in Walkden

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. Most Walkden properties give us a driveway, so the hours go into lofts, garages and garden kit.

The clock starts when we arrive at your Walkden address and stops when the last item is in. There is no travel charge to reach M28, and no out-of-area fee anywhere inside Salford. Local context matters here: a coal-mining town on the bridgewater estate; the last pits closed in the 1960s and retail replaced them, 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 — Little Hulton customers usually clear those with the same booking.

Often, yes — Salford City Council controls loading on most M28 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 11,400 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Walkden or across to Little Hulton.

Most M28 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. Salford City Council loading rules on the M28 end are checked before the slot is confirmed.

Semis here usually give you a driveway or a dropped kerb, which keeps the carry short — the time goes into loft contents, garage shelving and the garden kit people forget to mention until the day. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Roughly 11,400 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.

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.
