How London-to-Manchester Pricing Works
A long-distance move is priced differently from a local job. Around town we charge our man-and-van rate from £65/hr, but a cross-country run is quoted as a fixed day rate instead — that way you are not watching a meter tick over during hours of motorway driving. The day rate covers the drive to you, loading, around 4 hours of driving each way, unloading at the other end, and the fuel, so a London-to-Manchester move starts from £600. Manchester is a full day’s run at roughly 200 miles up the M6, so we price it as a dedicated day rate rather than by the hour. We cover the city and Greater Manchester — Salford, Didsbury, Chorlton, the student areas around Fallowfield — and can time the move to miss the worst of the motorway traffic.
The final figure depends on how much is moving — a studio or one-bed is at the lower end, a two or three-bed house needs a bigger van or a second crew member and more loading time. The quickest way to a firm quote is to tell us the property size and send a WhatsApp photo or a quick video of the rooms; we confirm the price before the day so there are no surprises.
If your dates are flexible, ask about a return-load discount. We regularly run this corridor both ways, so if we can pair your move with another job travelling in the opposite direction, we pass the saving on. Every move is fully insured with goods-in-transit and public liability cover, and it is the same crew from your door to Manchester — nothing gets transferred between vans.
