House Removals in Salford

Seedley terrace or Ordsall town house: how a Salford house move runs

The terraces west of Langworthy Road, such as Kara Street, Fram Street and Langton Street, were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for a working town, and they are compact inside. A two-bed here is a modest load but a slow one to carry: the van waits at the end of the row, the stairs in a terrace of this age are often narrow, and wardrobes and bed frames come apart upstairs because they rarely turn the corner whole.

Ordsall is different. The council estate there was renovated in a £100 million scheme finished in 2017, and streets such as Taylorson Street and Hulton Street are houses rather than flats, many of them family homes. A three-bed family house can fill the van, so the photos decide early whether it is one trip or two. Higher Broughton's big villas, many split into flats, need the floor counted too.

Rows, stairs and keys: readying a Salford house

• On a terraced row in Seedley or Weaste, say which end of the street is nearer your front door
• If the kerb outside has waiting restrictions, Salford City Council can suspend a space for £15 a day, with 72 hours' notice not counting weekends
• Photograph every room, the loft and any yard or shed, so the load is sized before the day
• Bag up bed bolts and wardrobe fixings and tape the bag to the frame they came from
• Buying? Ask your solicitor what time keys are released, so a full van is not left waiting

Rooms, carry and the stairs: what sets a Salford removal price

The number of rooms, the loft and the shed, the carry from where the van can stand and the miles to the new house set the price. One fixed price, agreed before we set off, covers it all, the drive over the Pennines included. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
