Our customers' reviews
Two households, one house
It is one of the most common moves there is and almost nobody writes about it, so here it is.
When two homes combine, the problem is rarely the moving. It is the arithmetic. Two sofas. Two washing machines. Two sets of pans, two kettles, two bookcases and, somewhere in the middle of it, two people who have not entirely agreed which of everything is staying.
That produces a few practical questions worth answering before the day rather than during it.
What is genuinely coming?
The most useful hour you can spend is deciding that in advance. Anything undecided tends to get loaded, which means paying to move something that goes to the tip a fortnight later.
Where does it go?
Selling or giving away takes longer than people allow. If a decision is not made yet, storage is usually cheaper than moving something twice.
Do both moves happen on the same day?
Often they cannot, because two tenancies rarely end neatly together. Two smaller moves on separate days is completely normal, and it is usually calmer than compressing everything into one.
Which address is the base?
Whichever is emptier should generally go second, so there is somewhere to put things.
Tell us the shape of it at the first conversation and it gets priced as one job rather than two unrelated ones.
When the dates do not line up
They frequently do not, and it is not a problem so much as a thing to plan.
One tenancy ends on the fifteenth, the other on the end of the month, and the new place is available somewhere between the two. That can be handled as two separate moves, as one move with storage in the middle, or as a staged job where the bulk goes first and the rest follows.
Which of those is cheapest depends entirely on the gap and the volume, so it is worth a two-minute conversation rather than a guess. Tell us both dates and what is coming from each place and we will tell you what makes sense.

Tell us where you are moving from and to, roughly what is coming, and whether more than one address or date is involved.
When a move needs more than the usual
Most moves fit one of our standard services, and if yours does, that is the simplest way to book it.
Merging two homes often does not. Two addresses. Two dates. Something into storage while a decision gets made. Part of it now and the rest in a month.
None of that is a problem, it just needs arranging rather than picking off a list. Describe what is happening and we will tell you what can be built around it.
The quickest route is the form. Give us the outline, we will call you.
Whatever else needs doing
- Packing, all of it or just the kitchen and the breakables
- Furniture taken apart and rebuilt
- Appliances disconnected and reconnected
- Storage, for the gap between dates or the furniture still under discussion
- Lofts, garages and sheds, provided we know they are part of the job
- Parking, if the street needs a permit for the van. We arrange it
Mention any of it at the first conversation and it goes in the quote.
Where we cover
Urmston sits about five miles south west of Manchester with the Mersey along its southern edge and the M60 crossing the north. It is one of the four main towns of Trafford, and unusually well connected for its size, with three railway stations in the area.

Moves into Manchester, across Trafford, or somewhere else entirely are all routine from our base. Neighbouring Sale has its own page as well.
Questions people ask
We are moving in together from two flats. Can that be one booking?
Yes, and it usually should be. Tell us both addresses and roughly what is coming from each, and it gets priced as one job.
Our tenancies end on different dates. Does that cost more?
Not necessarily. It might be two smaller moves, or one move with storage in between. Which is cheaper depends on the gap and the volume, so it is worth asking rather than assuming.
We have not decided what we are keeping yet. Should we wait to book?
No, get in touch anyway. Booking early gives you more choice of dates, and what is coming can be firmed up nearer the time.
What do we do with the spare sofa?
If a decision is not made yet, storage is usually cheaper than paying to move it twice. Mention it at quote stage.
Do you cover Flixton and Davyhulme?
Yes, along with Urmston itself and the streets around them.
How much notice do you need?
Thirty days or more where possible, and more if two dates are involved. Your price is held for 14 days while things settle.
