Wigan sits in the middle of the North West motorway network. The M6, M58 and M61 put a remarkable number of towns inside an hour's drive, and that is why our coverage stretches roughly 50 miles in every direction.

How longer moves are priced
The hourly rate never changes. Longer moves simply take more hours, and for anything beyond our core area we agree an estimated total before you book so there are no surprises.
One load or two?
Distance is what makes a second trip expensive. For moves over 20 miles we plan carefully to fit everything in one load — dismantling beds, stacking to the roof and loading the van properly.
