Driver plus a porter
Every Worsley booking includes at least one porter carrying alongside the driver. Add a second for heavy furniture or an upper floor without a lift.
Salford · M28 · Salford City Council
A man and van in Worsley 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 M28, insured in transit and quoted before the van is booked.
Mock-Tudor estate houses, Georgian cottages and large detached homes off Leigh Road. Access — the floor, the stairwell and the parking — sets the hours on a Worsley man-and-van job, so those are the first questions we ask.

What the hourly rate buys
Every Worsley 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 Salford City 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 £1m public liability. Certificates issued with your confirmation.
Sofa collections, mattress deliveries, flat-pack pickups and student moves around Worsley Delph and the Packet House — 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. Roughly 4,600 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Halls to house-share, term-time storage runs and box loads. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Worsley or across to Boothstown.
A full flat in one or two van loads with two crew. Roughly 4,600 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
The half of the move you cannot fit in the car. Crews run from Salford, so Boothstown and Walkden journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Flat-pack, appliance and showroom collections, assembled on request. Local context matters here: the duke of bridgewater's canal began here in 1759 to move worsley coal — the mine water still turns the canal orange, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Desks, chairs, servers and archive boxes between small offices. Crews run from Salford, so Boothstown and Walkden journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Access, parking and timing
Mock-Tudor estate houses, Georgian cottages and large detached homes off Leigh Road. That stock, the street it sits on and the Salford City Council rules over it decide how long the day takes — so all three are settled at survey, not on the morning.
The crew should be carrying, not circling. We confirm the restriction type on the M28 end, arrange a suspension through Salford City Council where it is worth it, and plan the closest legal standing point to the door. With Worsley drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets 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. Local context matters here: the duke of bridgewater's canal began here in 1759 to move worsley coal — the mine water still turns the canal orange, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Tell us about the loft, the garage, the shed and anything that will not come apart. It is the unlisted items, not the address, that turn a comfortable day into an overtime one. With Worsley drives and side access the van gets close, so volume rather than carry sets the day.
Start times here are set by the access, not the diary: where a lift, a bay or a school-run street is involved the crew starts early and finishes inside the day rather than paying for a second visit. Local context matters here: the duke of bridgewater's canal began here in 1759 to move worsley coal — the mine water still turns the canal orange, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Booked here week to week
If one of these looks like yours, say so when you enquire — we will quote it from the closest job we have already done in Salford rather than starting from a blank form.
£65 an hour, two movers
Where a stair turn or a wardrobe means two pairs of hands, the second mover is added at £65 an hour for the whole job — quoted before the van is booked. Local context matters here: the duke of bridgewater's canal began here in 1759 to move worsley coal — the mine water still turns the canal orange, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Same-day slots
Term-end and short-let changeovers run to a tight window: we take the load, drop what is not going with you at a licensed transfer station, and clear the room the same afternoon. Worsley Green concerts, Old Warke Dam and Bridgewater Canal towpath walks, golf-club life at Worsley Park and an established professional commuter set — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
3–4 hours typical
A Luton or LWB van and one mover covers a flat's contents in three to four hours here, including the stair carry the survey has already counted. Crews run from Salford, so Boothstown and Walkden journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Fixed short run
A sofa, a bed frame or a marketplace pickup carried from a four-bed detached to a Boothstown or Walkden address, priced as a fixed short run rather than a minimum-hours block. Roughly 4,600 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
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 Salford crews cover Worsley weekly, so the man-and-van move you book is priced on what Worsley homes are really like, not a regional average. The Duke of Bridgewater's canal began here in 1759 to move Worsley coal — the mine water still turns the canal orange — useful context when you are quoting surfaces, not square metres.
Locally, iron-rich canal water and woodland leaf-fall stain patios and stonework a distinctive rust-brown, so we bring the products and dwell times that problem needs. We work around worsley Green concerts when we set arrival windows in M28. Coverage runs across M28 and the Salford streets either side of it.

Answers before you book
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. Worsley Green concerts, Old Warke Dam and Bridgewater Canal towpath walks, golf-club life at Worsley Park and an established professional commuter set — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerThe clock starts when we arrive at your Worsley 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Worsley or across to Boothstown.
Link to this answerYes — single-item collections and deliveries are one of the most common Worsley bookings. Send a photo with the doorway and stairs and we will confirm a fixed price rather than run it hourly. Crews run from Salford, so Boothstown and Walkden journeys carry no out-of-area charge.
Link to this answerSalford 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Worsley or across to Boothstown.
Link to this answerMost man-and-van jobs in Worsley are covered within 48 hours, and we hold same-day slots back for short-notice work. Evenings and weekends run at the same rate. Local context matters here: the duke of bridgewater's canal began here in 1759 to move worsley coal — the mine water still turns the canal orange, which is why the access varies so much between neighbouring streets.
Link to this answerYes — Boothstown, Walkden, Swinton, Eccles, Little Hulton and every other Greater Manchester district, each with its own page and the same pricing. Roughly 4,600 households sit inside these postcodes, so weekend dates here go early.
Link to this answerOnce 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. Worsley Green concerts, Old Warke Dam and Bridgewater Canal towpath walks, golf-club life at Worsley Park and an established professional commuter set — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerOften, 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. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Worsley or across to Boothstown.
Link to this answerWith a drive and side access the load runs quickly; the survey concentrates on garages, garden rooms and anything oversized that needs a second pair of hands or a leg-off. Send a short video of the stairwell and the street and we will confirm crew size before the date is held. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Worsley or across to Boothstown.
Link to this answerMost 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. Worsley Green concerts, Old Warke Dam and Bridgewater Canal towpath walks, golf-club life at Worsley Park and an established professional commuter set — worth telling us about if it closes your street on the day.
Link to this answerPianos, 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 — Boothstown customers usually clear those with the same booking. Priced the same whether you are moving inside Worsley or across to Boothstown.
Link to this answerBefore you book

Goods-in-transit and public liability cover is in place on every Worsley van run, and claims go to a named account manager here rather than a form.
Your load stays sealed and insured overnight for a fixed fee and delivers first thing — we do not unload onto a driveway or re-quote the second day at short-notice rates.
