Pianos, antiques, artwork, gym equipment and other heavy or delicate items get the right equipment and extra hands. Mention them when you ask for a quote so the 198-mile journey is planned properly.
Student moves
Heading between London and Manchester for university? Shared or small-load moves keep the cost down, and we can collect from halls or a shared house at a time that suits you.

Most North West moves run up the M6, and we plan departures to avoid the busiest stretches around Birmingham.
Before moving day, check whether your new street in Manchester has parking restrictions, and let us know about narrow roads, steps or long carries so we bring the right vehicle.
Leaving London
Most of Greater London is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), and central London has the Congestion Charge on weekdays. Any charges that apply to our vehicles are included in your quote.
Many London streets have permit parking or red routes. If there is no space outside, we can advise on a parking suspension from your borough council, which usually needs about two weeks' notice.
