Longsight is home, plain and simple. Our van is parked here, our number is answered here, and we know every street from the Stockport Road stretch to the Victoria Park crescents and the Ardwick border. When a job comes in from our own postcode, we are already most of the way there.
The housing stock is a proper mix: Victorian terraces, red brick semis, purpose built flats and mansion blocks around Victoria Park. We move all of them, and because we are local, the quote has no mystery travel allowance in it. The figure is the figure, and it starts low because we are already here.
Local know how, not satnav hope
Our van is based at Already there, fast from here, and we have moved enough homes in this postcode to know the streets, the parking and the property types without a second look. Every job gets the same gear and the same straight price, quoted before we leave the yard.
