Driver plus a porter
Every Woodley booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
Stockport · SK6 · Stockport Council
A man and van in Woodley 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 SK6, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
Interwar semis, postwar council-built houses and small modern closes. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Woodley man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

Man and van in Woodley
Man with a van Woodley covers single items, part-loads and small flat moves across SK6. Interwar semis, postwar council-built houses and small modern closes. That stock decides whether one porter is enough or a second pair of hands saves you an hour.
Stockport Council sets the loading and permit rules on these streets, so the bay is arranged before the van leaves. Waiting time, tip runs and lift bookings are all priced up front rather than added to the invoice afterwards.

What the hourly rate buys
Every Woodley 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 Stockport 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 Woodley Sports Centre and the Tame Valley trail — 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.
A few lines is enough to start: rooms, frequency and the Woodley street you're on. Anything unusual — a shared stairwell, a key-safe, a dog — is better said up front than discovered on the day.
The quote is fixed before anyone books time off work: labour, products and any extras listed separately, so you can cut the scope rather than the standard if the number is over budget.
Pick the day and window that suits you. Rounds are built geographically around Woodley, which is why the arrival time holds rather than drifting across the day.
You get a finished-work check against the same list you agreed at the start — no vague "all done" message. Anything below standard is re-done at our cost.
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 Woodley.
If anything on the an insured man and van spec is missed, we come back and put it right at no extra cost — that is the whole guarantee.
Cleaning, moving, handyman and clearance all run from the same Woodley scheduling desk, so a multi-part job needs one booking.
Everyone we send into a Woodley property is ID-checked, DBS-screened and works under our own supervision — no unvetted subcontracting.
Every job in Woodley is insured to £5m public liability, with goods-in-transit cover on anything we lift, load or take away.
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 Stockport crews cover Woodley weekly, so the man-and-van move you book is priced on what Woodley homes are really like, not a regional average. The place looks the way it does for a reason: developed as railway-served housing for Stockport and Hyde workers from the late 1800s.
Tame valley mist keeps north-facing paths and driveways green through the colder months. We budget time for it rather than rushing the finish. Scheduling fits around woodley Precinct, and parking is agreed before the van sets off. Coverage runs across SK6 and the Stockport streets either side of it.
