Where We Deliver in Openshaw
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Openshaw: Every Type of Move Covered
Openshaw sits in the M11 postcode, roughly three miles east of Manchester city centre. It borders Beswick, Gorton, and Fairfield, and it has seen significant regeneration over the past decade. New housing developments on Ogden Street, Chapman Street, and the streets running south from Ashton Old Road have brought steady demand for reliable furniture delivery.
Giant Van covers all of M11 with a full furniture delivery service. We collect from retailers, warehouses, storage units, and private addresses. We deliver to homes, flats, and business premises.
If you have just bought a dining table from a local auction house or you are waiting on a sofa from a Manchester furniture store, we can get it to your door.
Our vehicles range from a standard van to a long-wheelbase Luton with a tail lift. The tail lift makes loading and unloading heavy items like wardrobes and bed frames much easier. Two-person teams are available on request, which is recommended for anything above 50 kg or for deliveries to upper-floor flats.
We quote based on distance, item size, and access conditions. Most furniture deliveries within Openshaw and the surrounding postcodes fall between £45 and £120. You get a firm price before we arrive, with no surprise charges on the day. Book through our app, online, or by calling directly.
Openshaw: Loading Zones and Permits
Across Manchester, openshaw has a mix of housing stock that creates real logistical variation.
The older terraced streets north of Ashton Old Road, around Hulme Hall Lane and the back streets near Openshaw Park, tend to be narrow. Parking a Luton van outside a terraced property can be tight.
In these cases, our driver will assess the street on arrival and may need to double-park briefly to unload.
The newer developments near the Etihad Campus and the estates around Alan Turing Way are generally easier to access.
Roads are wider, and many properties have short drives or dedicated parking bays. These deliveries tend to take less time and cost slightly less as a result.
Key landmarks that help us plan routes include the junction of Ashton Old Road and Toxteth Street, the approach roads around the Velodrome, and the residential access roads off Pottery Lane.
We factor these into our route planning before the job starts.
Restrictions around the Eastlands area can affect travel times on match days at the Etihad Stadium.
If you are booking furniture delivery on a weekend between August and May, mention the date when you call. We will advise whether to schedule early morning or mid-afternoon to avoid congestion.
Flats above the ground floor require extra planning.
If your building has a lift, let us know the dimensions when you book. If there is no lift, we charge a small flight surcharge of £10 per floor above the first for heavy items. All of this is confirmed in your quote before any work begins.
Furniture Delivery Prices in Openshaw
Our furniture delivery prices in Openshaw start from £48 for a single small item collected and delivered locally within M11. Most furniture delivery jobs in the area fall between £45 and £120 depending on item size, weight, floor access, and distance. Same-day furniture delivery starts from £80.
For multiple large items or deliveries requiring a two-man team, we provide a tailored quote based on your specific requirements. Message us in the live chat or use our app for an instant, no-obligation price. There are no hidden charges. The price quoted is the price you pay.
All prices include a fully insured crew, van, and moving blankets. Packing services available as add-ons.
Work Out Your Moving CostOpenshaw Moving Tips From the Team
These five steps apply to almost every furniture delivery job we handle in Openshaw.
Standard UK internal doors are 1,981 mm high and between 686 mm and 826 mm wide. Many wardrobes and large sofas need to be tilted or partially disassembled to pass through. Check your door frames, hallway width, and any tight corners on the route to the final room.
Move shoes, rugs, children's toys, and anything breakable. A clear path reduces handling time and lowers the risk of damage to your belongings or the item being delivered.
We can place furniture precisely where you want it, but indecision on the day adds time. If you are unsure, mark the spot with tape in advance.
On the narrower roads around Ogden Street or the residential streets near Openshaw Leisure Centre, you may need to ask a neighbour to temporarily move their car. Give us a heads-up if the road is particularly tight.
If we are collecting from a third-party retailer or warehouse, we need your order number and the collection address. Have these written down or saved on your phone before the driver calls to confirm arrival.

When Is the Best Time to Move?
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
The Ideal Day for Your Openshaw Removal
Here is what we have found works best in the Openshaw area.
Drivers are fresh, roads around Ashton Old Road and Pottery Lane are less congested, and you are more likely to get same-day availability. If your schedule allows it, a mid-week morning is usually the best choice.
Many customers book at the start and end of the working week. Availability is still good but slots fill faster. Book at least 24 hours ahead if you want a specific time window on these days.
Saturday mornings from 8am to 11am fill up quickly. If you want a Saturday slot, book by Thursday afternoon to be safe.
Roads around Alan Turing Way and Rowsley Street can become impassable for 90 minutes before and after a match. Our app shows real-time traffic, but it is better to plan around these dates.
If you are expecting a furniture delivery over Christmas, book as early as possible. We take orders throughout the festive period but slots in the final week before Christmas go fast.
Furniture Delivery vs Full Removal Service: Which Do You Need?
The difference comes down to what you are moving and if you are relocating your entire home.
This includes collecting a sofa from a seller, delivering a new wardrobe from a retailer, or moving a dining table from storage to your home. You are not moving house. You just need specific items transported safely.
This involves packing boxes, dismantling furniture, loading a full removal lorry, and setting up at the other end. Our house removal service in Greater Manchester starts from £250 for a small property.
Our man and van rates start from £54 per hour with a one-hour minimum.
Message us in the live chat and describe your job. We will recommend the right option and give you a firm price within a few minutes. We do not upsell services you do not need.
Furniture delivery in Openshaw does not need to be complicated.

From a single armchair to a full bedroom set, we collect, transport, and deliver to your room of choice.
