Photos, routes and reviews from recent jobs.
Our customer's student move landed in Withington, Manchester after Louis collected a full load from Lawrence Hill in Bristol. A sofa, bed frame, dresser, desk, and sixteen boxes made the 3-hour-20-minute journey, along with bedding, a coffee table, and various smaller pieces. Loading took just over an hour, and everything arrived ready for the new term-time house.
Our customer's move landed in Deansgate after Cosmin packed and loaded everything in Blackfriars & Trinity. With two hours spent wrapping, boxing, and securing the items, he made sure everything was protected before the short five-minute drive across Manchester. The careful prep work paid off, no surprises on arrival, just a smooth handover to the new place.

Our customer needed boxes collected from Rayburn Trading in Cheetham and transported to a warehouse in Great Linford. Adam picked up the palletised items in just over half an hour, then drove the Transit across to Milton Keynes for a delivery that took just over three hours. Everything arrived ready to unload, and the job wrapped up mid-afternoon.
Daniel needed a king-size bed, single bed, three-seater sofa, washing machine and plenty of household boxes moved from Stockport to Burnley. Adam loaded everything into the Luton van in three hours, making efficient use of the large garage space, then drove the route with a helper on board. Once there, the trickier part came, getting the beds and mattresses upstairs in the terraced house, and positioning the washing machine in the kitchen. Daniel left a 5-star review, noting Adam was friendly and handled the heavy, bulky items brilliantly.
“Adam was very friendly and helpful. He did an excellent job moving heavy and bulky items to the correct rooms. I would certainly contact Adam for my next move”
— Daniel
Cameron's move out of the driver took just over an hour to load, six medium boxes and a hoover went into the Transit. Cosmin made the short 15-minute drive over to Ordsall and got everything unloaded. The job wrapped up quickly, and Cameron followed up with a solid 5-star review.

Our customer picked up from Ardwick in Manchester with four large boxes, three suitcases, and a few small bags, the kind of kit you need for a student move. Cosmin loaded everything into the Transit in an hour, then drove the three-plus-hour journey to Monument in Newcastle to drop it all at the storage place before closing time. The morning slot worked out perfectly, getting our customer to their destination with time to spare.
Constantin picked up six large luggage bags and loose items from Gorse Hill and Cornbrook, loading the Transit in about an hour. The short 15-minute drive into the driver got everything delivered to the IQ Campus and inside room 2 by early afternoon. A straightforward job with luggage well-organised for the move.
Our customer needed a full house move out of Didsbury West, Manchester, a bed frame, sofa, dining table with chairs, bookcases, chest of drawers, bureau with glass cabinet, and several packed boxes. Amir loaded the Luton van over three hours, then drove the eight-hour run to Redhill to deliver everything to the new place. The tail lift proved handy for getting the heavier pieces in and out without strain.
Our customer's student room made the trip from Old Moat to Withington, with Cosmin loading boxes, clothes, and a flat-pack cupboard into the Transit. The two-hour load went smoothly since most things were already boxed up, and the short drive across the driver took just 40 minutes. Everything arrived unloaded and ready to go in the new place.
“Cosmin was so helpful and friendly - would recommend to anyone. Great guy and lots of help!”
— James
Our customer picked up from Withington with boxes, suitcases, a guitar, mirror and shoe rack, eight boxes and four big cases in total. Kalidou loaded everything into the Transit in an hour and a half, then set off for the long drive to Southville in Bristol. With nearly seven hours on the motorway ahead, this was proper long-haul work, and our customer rode along to see their belongings safely to the other end. The driver made good time across the distance and had everything delivered and unloaded by early afternoon.
“Fantastic!”
— Ella
Our customer's move out of Ardwick involved around 10 cartons, appliances, and smaller items heading to Leeds. Constantin loaded everything in an hour, then drove the Transit across to Burmantofts & Richmond Hill over just under two and a half hours. Straightforward job with no furniture to navigate, mostly boxes and compact goods that packed into the van efficiently.
Our customer's move out of Ancoats & Beswick was quite the haul, Isaac loaded a two-seater sofa (broken down), a 45-inch TV, a large mirror, speakers, blow-up mattress, and several boxes and bags of clothes and kitchen bits into the Transit. The load took about an hour to get sorted, then he drove the 8.5 hours down to Woodberry Down in Hackney and got everything unloaded and in place.
Leah's dining table and chairs, bed frame, mattress, and chest of drawers made the long haul from Dormansland to Levenshulme in a single push. The driver loaded everything into the Transit over two hours, then drove the nine-plus hours to Manchester and unloaded at the dropoff. Leah left a 5-star review afterwards, praising the friendly service and the extra help unpacking at the new place. A solid long-distance move that landed right on time.
“Very helpful and easy to communicate with helped unpack. Friendly service”
— Leah

Local drivers across every neighbourhood
Manchester is a major city with a mix of city centre apartments, Victorian terraces in the inner suburbs, and family housing across the wider Greater Manchester area. Whether you’re moving from a flat in the Northern Quarter or Ancoats, relocating from a house in Didsbury, Chorlton, or Sale, or downsizing to a smaller property in Levenshulme, we help you find local drivers who know the city and can assist with your move.
We cover all types of moves across Manchester and the surrounding area. If you need a full house move, help with a flat clearance, assistance shifting furniture between properties, or someone to deliver appliances, we connect you to drivers with vans suited to the job. The city’s varied housing means moves range from compact city centre apartments in Salford Quays and Castlefield to larger Victorian terraces in Fallowfield and family homes in the suburbs of South Manchester.
We also cover nearby areas including Liverpool, Bolton, Stockport, Oldham, and Salford. Manchester’s position on the M60 ring road and with excellent rail links including Piccadilly and Victoria stations makes it exceptionally well connected for moves across the North West. Local drivers regularly help with relocations around the city centre, the Manchester Royal Infirmary, and the retail areas near the Trafford Centre and Arndale. The busy streets around Oxford Road and Wilmslow Road see regular moving activity, while residential areas in Rusholme, Moss Side, and Hulme have steady demand. The university areas create student moving peaks in September and June, while the suburbs of Whalley Range, Withington, and Burnage attract families and professionals throughout the year.
The wider Greater Manchester and North West region is easily accessible from the city centre. Drivers based here regularly help with moves across the conurbation and into neighbouring areas like Cheshire and Lancashire, whether you’re heading to a nearby town or relocating further afield. We make it straightforward to compare available drivers, choose the right van size, and find someone who suits your specific requirements.
