Removals in Preston
Local removals in Preston you can price before you book
Preston is our main Lancashire destination. Most Preston jobs are people moving out of Greater Manchester northwards, or students and young professionals moving into the city — either way it is a straight motorway run and we plan it as a single full day rather than charging you for a return trip.
For a longer move like this, the hourly clock and the two-hour minimum still apply, but the practical advice is different: pack early and label by room. Every box that is sealed and stacked by the front door before we arrive is money saved, because loading is the part of the day the clock is actually running on.
We cover the city centre, Fulwood, Penwortham, Bamber Bridge and the surrounding villages, and can add packing materials or a part-packing service if you would rather we handled it.

FAQ
Man and van Preston — common questions
Do you charge mileage for a Preston move?
No separate mileage fee. Longer moves like Preston are quoted as a full-day job at the standard hourly rate, so you know the figure before we set off.
Can you pack for me before a Preston move?
Yes — full or part packing with proper boxes, paper and labelling can be added, either the day before or on the morning of the move.
How do I book a man and van in Preston?
Call or WhatsApp us with your two addresses, floor levels and a rough list of what is moving. You get a fixed hourly price and an arrival window back the same day, usually within the hour.
Do you charge extra for stairs in Preston?
House stairs are always included. For flats and apartments we add £10 per mover for the first floor, £20 per mover for the second, £30 for the third and so on. Where there is a working lift there is no surcharge at all.
Is there a minimum booking for a Preston removal?
Yes — two hours. One man and van is £45 per hour and two movers are £70 per hour, charged from arrival at the collection address until the last item is unloaded.
How quickly can you get to Preston?
Around 40 minutes from our Wigan base. Smaller jobs can often be covered the same day, and full house moves are usually available within the same week.
What size van do you use for Preston moves?
One Ford Transit LWB with 15m³ of load space — our own van, not a subcontractor. It clears most one and two-bedroom homes in Preston in a single run, and larger homes are done in staged loads.
Are my belongings insured on a Preston move?
Yes. We carry goods-in-transit and public liability cover, and everything travels wrapped in blankets and strapped to the van wall. Access notes for Preston: Motorway run up the M6 — we quote the whole day rather than adding a separate mileage charge.
