A Better Small-Move Experience
Not Just a Van and a Driver
You may only need to move a sofa, a few rooms or a small flat. That does not mean you should compromise on how the job is handled.
Our Manchester man and van service brings the same practical planning, careful handling and straightforward communication associated with Bradshaw's full removals work, in a format designed for smaller jobs. Our removals history dates back to 1884, with today's team based in Irlam.
Direct Accountability
You enquire, plan and move with Bradshaw International of Manchester, rather than being passed between unrelated providers.
Right-Sized Support
Tell us what is moving and we will help identify whether a one-person or two-person team is the sensible option.

One Person or Two?
We Make It Simple
Choose your preference on the form, or ask us to recommend the best fit after reviewing the items and access.
Person and Van
An option for suitable lighter, prepared loads. Tell us what help is available at both addresses so we can confirm whether one person is enough. Do not assume you will need to lift heavy furniture yourself.
- Single furniture items and collections
- Boxes, bags and prepared smaller loads
- Student moves and room moves
- Storage runs and marketplace purchases
People and Van
The better choice for heavier items, stairs, larger loads or when you do not have suitable help available at either address.
- Sofas, wardrobes and bulky furniture
- Flat moves and small home moves
- Stairs, longer carries and awkward access
- Business equipment and multiple items
What We Move
Typical Uses for Man and Van Hire in Manchester
A Manchester man with a van is a practical choice when you need professional moving help but your load does not require a full removals vehicle and crew.
Single Items
Sofas, beds, wardrobes, appliances and other larger household purchases.
Flat and Student Moves
Boxes, bags and furniture between halls, shared houses and rented flats. Tell us about key collection times and which floor you are moving from.
Small Home Moves
A practical option when your inventory does not require a larger removals vehicle and crew.
Collections and Deliveries
Furniture shop, auction, marketplace and private purchases. Check the item's dimensions and the seller's collection window before requesting a quote.
Business Items
Desks, stock, equipment and smaller office moves planned around access and timing.
Storage Transfers
Moving selected belongings into or out of storage across Greater Manchester.
How It Works
Three Steps to a Properly Planned Move
No guesswork about the load, access or help required. We gather the useful details first.
Tell Us What Is Moving
Share the locations, preferred date, main items and any stairs, lifts or parking restrictions.
We Confirm the Right Setup
Our team reviews the job, confirms the crew requirement and gives you a clear quote.
Your Move Gets Done
The agreed team arrives with the move information already captured and ready to work.
Straightforward Pricing
What Does Man and Van Hire Cost?
Prices start from £75 for suitable local jobs.
Your actual quote is based on what you are moving, the collection and delivery locations, property access, the date and timing, and whether the job needs one or two people.
Give us an accurate item list and access notes and we can price the work on the right basis from the start. A starting price is not a confirmed quote for your move.
Need help before collection? Ask about our packing service. If you need somewhere to keep belongings between addresses, discuss managed container storage in Irlam as a separate part of your move.
Local Coverage
Man and Van Across Greater Manchester
Our Irlam-based team serves Manchester and surrounding areas, with longer routes available by quotation.
For an Ancoats or Salford Quays apartment, check lift bookings and loading access. For a student move in Fallowfield or Withington, include your room contents and check-out time. A furniture collection in Chorlton or Didsbury needs the seller's access details as well as yours.
Common Questions
Manchester Man and Van FAQ
Still unsure which option fits? Select "Please advise me" on the quote form and give us a useful item list.
Is every man and van job £75?
No. Prices from £75 apply to suitable local jobs. Distance, load size, access, timing and the number of team members all affect the final quote.
Should I choose one person or two people?
A one-person team can suit lighter, prepared loads. Tell us what help is available at each address and let us assess the items and access. Bulky furniture, stairs or a lack of suitable help may need a two-person team. Select "Please advise me" if you are unsure.
Can you move just one piece of furniture?
Yes. Single-item collections and deliveries are exactly the type of work this service is designed for, subject to the item's size, weight and access.
Can I book at short notice?
Ask us about your preferred date and we will check current availability. Short-notice work may be possible, but it cannot be guaranteed.
Do you cover moves outside Manchester?
Yes. We handle local Greater Manchester jobs and can quote for collection or delivery routes further afield.
Can you collect furniture I have bought online?
Yes, subject to the item and access being suitable. Include the collection and delivery locations, item dimensions, floor levels and the seller's available collection times. Let us know if the item will be assembled or dismantled.
Is this a self-drive van hire service?
No. This is a moving service with a one-person or two-person Bradshaw team, rather than a van for you to drive. We assess the load and access before confirming the team required.
Planning a larger move? Our Manchester removals company can assess a full household move. Moving an instrument needs a separate assessment: see piano removals in Manchester.
