Our Process
The Dimond Movers Moving Process
Step 1
Tell Us the Origin, Destination and Dates
Postcodes, property size, completion / move dates and any awkward access (lift, stairs, narrow access, parking restrictions). WhatsApp or email a few photos of the larger items and we'll quote — usually within a few hours.
Step 2
Free Fixed Quote — Same-Day or Split-Day
We quote both same-day and split-day options where relevant, so you choose. No deposit needed to confirm a date. Fixed in writing — no hidden extras.
Step 3
Pre-Pack the Day Before (Optional)
On long-distance routes we often pre-pack the day before to start the drive earlier. Half-pack / full-pack quoted as a separate line item — your choice.
Step 4
Load, Drive, Deliver
Two or three-person crew, Luton or 7.5t for 2-3 bed, 18t for 4-5 bed. Same-day or overnight split based on distance and property size. Full Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance throughout.
The London → Manchester route at a glance
Distance: 200 miles. Typical drive: 4h – 5h. Motorways: M1 → M6 → M60 (or M40 → M42 → M6). Recommended crew/vehicle: 7.5t Luton for 2-3 bed; 18t for 4-bed; 3-person crew.
Indicative pricing: £1,150 – £2,200 for a 3-bed (London access loads add £150-£400).
Single day for 2-3 bed; 4-bed plus usually overnight in the truck.
The route: M1 north or M40 detour
Standard route: M1 northbound from London (J1-J19), then M6 north at Catthorpe and M60 into Manchester. The M40/M42/M6 alternative is 10 miles longer but often quicker if M1 J7-J12 is congested.
200 miles direct, 4-5 hours drive depending on M25 / M1 / M6 traffic. Friday afternoon and Sunday evening northbound are the worst windows.
London-end logistics — the hard bit
The harder part of a London-to-Manchester move is usually the London end, not the drive. Central CPZ permits, residents-bay suspensions, mandatory goods lift bookings for apartment buildings, ULEZ compliance on our fleet (all ULEZ-compliant), and lift-vs-stairs limits.
We typically need 7-10 working days lead time to apply for council bay suspensions in Camden, Westminster, Islington, Hackney, Lambeth, Southwark and the central boroughs.
Manchester destinations
Didsbury (M20), Chorlton (M21), Withington (M20), Altrincham (WA14/15), Sale (M33), Heaton Mersey (SK4), Bramhall (SK7), Cheadle (SK8). City centre: Deansgate, Spinningfields, Ancoats, Northern Quarter, Castlefield.
Packing options for a long-distance Manchester move
Full pack: we bring all materials and pack everything room by room the day before the drive. Most reliable for breakables on a long-distance route.
Half pack: we pack the kitchen, breakables and artwork; you pack the soft items (clothes, bedding, books). Mid-cost option.
Self-pack: you pack everything; we load, drive, deliver and unload. Lowest cost — works well if you have time and a steady pack-down over 1-2 weeks.
Storage between London sale and Manchester completion
Long-distance moves frequently catch a chain delay — the London sale completes but the Manchester purchase slips by a day or a week. Storage at our Crowmarsh Gifford depot bridges the gap from £25/week per crate, or as a flat storage-and-removals quote combining collection, storage and final delivery into one fixed price.
Most London-to-Manchester customers add storage as a "just in case" line in the quote — released if not needed.
