REMOVALS TO MANCHESTER
Removals to Manchester — From Spain, France, Oxfordshire & Across the UK
Moving to Manchester? Gentlevan Removals is a family-run removal company with over 15 years of experience handling moves to and from Manchester — from Oxfordshire and the Midlands, from Spain and France, and from across the UK. We're proud members of Move Assured and AIM, and we bring the same care to a Manchester move as we do to any European job.
Manchester is one of the UK's most exciting cities — a genuine destination for people relocating from Europe, whether you're drawn by the job market, family ties, or simply choosing to return to the UK. From the affluent suburbs of Didsbury and Altrincham to the city centre apartments of Spinningfields and Ancoats, we cover all areas of Greater Manchester and the surrounding towns.
We offer both dedicated loads and a shared load service — particularly useful for European moves where combining your load with others heading in the same direction keeps costs realistic. Get a free, no-obligation quote today.

Storage for Your Manchester Move
Moving from Spain or France to Manchester often involves overlapping timelines — your property in Spain sells before your Manchester home is ready, or you need temporary accommodation while you find somewhere permanent. Our containerised storage bridges that gap: we collect from your current address and hold your belongings securely until you're ready for delivery.
Storage is available for any duration — a few weeks to many months. It's based in Oxfordshire, making it ideal for customers who want their belongings safely held in the UK while they finalise their Manchester plans. We're currently offering 1 month of FREE storage on qualifying moves.
What Our Customers Say
Our Manchester customers come from all directions — people heading north from Oxfordshire, expats returning from Spain and France, and families relocating from elsewhere in the UK. Here's what some of them had to say. Read more testimonials here.
Frequently Asked Questions — Removals to Manchester
Yes — Spain to Manchester is one of our well-established routes. We run regular shared load services from Spain to the UK, with Manchester as a common delivery point. We collect from your Spanish property, handle all customs documentation, and deliver directly to your new Manchester home. See our Spain removals page for full details.
Absolutely. Our regular France-to-UK runs include Manchester as a delivery destination. Whether you're in Paris, Brittany, the Dordogne or the south of France, we can collect from your French property and deliver to Manchester — as a shared load or dedicated service depending on your volume. See our France removals page.
Costs depend on the origin of your move, the volume of your belongings, and whether you opt for a dedicated or shared load. A domestic move from Oxfordshire will differ in cost from a European move from Spain. Request a free quote or book a video survey and we'll give you an accurate, no-obligation figure. See also our UK removal cost guide.
A dedicated load means the vehicle is reserved exclusively for your move — ideal for larger households or when you need a fixed delivery date. A shared load means your belongings travel alongside others moving in the same direction, sharing transport costs. Shared loads are particularly popular for European moves to Manchester where customers have a flexible delivery window and want to reduce cost.
A dedicated load from Spain to Manchester typically takes 2–4 days depending on the collection point in Spain. A shared load may take slightly longer as it depends on consolidating with other customers moving in the same direction. We'll give you a realistic timeframe as part of your quotation.
Our storage facility is based in Oxfordshire — ideal as a staging point for customers moving from Europe to Manchester who need flexibility on delivery timing. We hold your belongings securely until your Manchester home is ready, then deliver. Find out more about storage.
We cover all areas of Greater Manchester including the city centre, Didsbury, Chorlton, Altrincham, Hale, Bowdon, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Prestbury, Salford and Stockport. If you're unsure whether we cover your specific postcode, just get in touch and we'll confirm.
We can move plants within the UK. However, due to post-Brexit phytosanitary regulations, we are unfortunately unable to transport plants from the EU into the UK. We'd recommend rehoming plants locally before your move and sourcing new ones on arrival.
