Other services in Manchester
Fallowfield, Withington and student turnover
Manchester has a large student population concentrated south of the centre, and summer is the busiest period for short-distance moves. Many shared houses have narrow hallways and steep stairs, so tell drivers about any items that need dismantling.
City-centre apartments and managed lifts
Much of the central housing is in apartment blocks with concierge desks and shared lifts. Many blocks restrict move times or require a booking, so ask your building manager before you confirm a date.
Getting around Greater Manchester
The M60 ring road links most of the surrounding towns, with the M56, M62 and M61 feeding it. Tram lines and bus lanes in the centre can limit where a van may stop, so confirm the exact loading point with your driver.
Nearby moves
Common short moves run between Manchester and Salford, Stockport, Sale and Altrincham. Mention if either address is in a conservation area or on a cobbled or narrow street.
