Most flat moves use a 2-person crew at £75/hr (2-hour minimum, £150). A studio or light one-bed with a working lift stays close to that. Walk-ups, long corridors or heavy sofas add hours. Driver only is £55/hr (2-hour minimum, £110) when your boxes are packed and you mostly need the van. You book whole hours and overrun is billed in 30-minute steps. Stairs are £10 per person per flight per hour, and a working lift removes that charge. Email the floor level, lift notes, parking distance and photos. Flats in the centre and Heatons are conversions and purpose-built blocks. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
Yes. It is a short run from Manchester and priced at the same hourly rates.
Yes. The crew rate plus mileage one way (about 190 miles), with no deposit.
Yes, walk-ups are among the commonest flat jobs we do. We agree the crew size before you book so it matches the stairs. Stairs are £10 per person per flight for each hour at that address (a floor counts as 2 flights), and a working lift removes the charge. It is written into the quote, so nothing is added on the day. Photos of the stairs, the sofa and any tight corners help. If something will not fit, we can take it apart or, for some sofas, hoist it (£150 to £280). Flats in the centre and Heatons are conversions and purpose-built blocks. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
Usually the resident or building manager does, because the rules belong to the block. We tell you what to ask for: the length of the slot, the arrival window, proof of cover and notes on the loading bay. Once it is booked we plan the crew around that window. Tell us early about concierge notice and quiet hours. If the building wants paperwork, we send our cover details with the booking confirmation. Flats in the centre and Heatons are conversions and purpose-built blocks. Send postcodes, floor levels and photos and we confirm the plan before you book.
It does. For flats, parking often moves the price more than the distance does. A bay at the door is very different from a long carry across an estate or a controlled street with no loading window. Tell us about visitor bays, estate permits and how near the van can get. If a bay suspension would help, we say so early enough for you to apply to the council.
