Man with a van in Wigan

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

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. Wigan Market, the Warriors and Latics, and the Believe Square events — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.

Often, yes — Wigan Council controls loading on most WN1 and WN3 and WN5 and WN6 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 — Ince-in-Makerfield customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Wigan or across to Ince-in-Makerfield.

Wigan Council runs the loading and permit rules here.

Most WN1 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.
