House Removals in Swinton, Manchester

1. 1
   These tips are specific to Swinton and the surrounding M27 area.

   They will save you time and money on moving day.

2. 2
   Book a parking suspension early.

   Salford City Council requires at least five working days notice for a temporary suspension on Church Street, Manchester Road, or Station Road. Without one, our lorry may have to park 30 metres from your door, which adds time and effort.

3. 3
   Check the Metrolink timetable.

   The Eccles line runs through Swinton and causes road closures on Bolton Road during engineering works. Moving on a Saturday morning avoids most disruption. Check Transport for Greater Manchester for planned closures before your moving date.

4. 4
   Strip flat-pack furniture before moving day.

   Properties on the Rivington Estate and around Pendlebury often have tight stairwells. A wardrobe that came in flat-pack almost always needs to come apart before it will turn the corner on a landing.

5. 5
   Use M27 for storage if completion is delayed.

   If your chain stalls and you cannot access the new property, Giant Van can hold your belongings in a secure facility near the M60 junction. Short-term storage costs considerably less than rebooking the entire move.

6. 6
   Tell us about the garden gate.

   A number of properties in the Swinton Green area have rear access through narrow side entries. If we know in advance, we can bring the right trolley and plan the route through the property rather than guessing on the day.
