Homes and Flats We Move in Hanham
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Our Hanham Service Menu
Hanham sits on the south-east edge of Bristol in the BS15 postcode. It is a quiet residential village that blends older housing stock with newer estates built in the 1990s and 2000s. Streets like Abbots Road and Memorial Road carry a mix of semi-detached homes and Victorian terraces. Park Road and the roads off Whittucks Road cover larger detached properties.
The Chequers pub and St George's Park help mark the village heart.
Giant Van runs house removals here every week. We move one-bedroom flats through to five-bedroom family homes. Our prices start at £250 for a small house move and go up to £850 for a large family property. Every job includes a dedicated removal team, a clean, well-maintained van, and full transit insurance on your belongings.
We do not use subcontractors. The team you book is the team that arrives. That matters in Hanham because some streets, particularly off the High Street, require careful parking management. Our crews know Bristol's outer suburbs well and plan access before they arrive on moving day.
Same-day removals are available from £80. If your move is urgent, call and we will check crew availability immediately. We handle long-distance moves from Hanham too, including relocations out of Bristol entirely, from £500. Packing services start at £150 and can be added to any booking through the app.
Access Solutions for Hanham Homes
Hanham's road network has specific challenges you need to plan for before moving day.
The main route in and out of the village is Hanham Road and High Street, both of which carry regular two-way traffic.
During school drop-off times at Hanham Woods Academy on Abbots Road, the surrounding streets become congested between 8:00am and 9:00am and again between 3:00pm and 4:00pm.
Whittucks Road and the estate roads off it are built to standard widths, but several have resident parking bays that fill up completely by 9:00am.
If you are moving out of one of these streets, you may need a temporary parking suspension. Bristol City Council requires at least five working days' notice for a suspension.
Giant Van can advise you on this, though the application is yours to submit.
Mount Hill Road rises steeply between Hanham and Oldland Common.
Our drivers avoid it when loaded unless there is no practical alternative, preferring the flatter approach via Willsbridge Hill. Properties near the towpath off Avon Road also need careful thought. The approach roads are narrow and a large removal lorry cannot always turn around.
We use a 3.5-tonne Luton van for these properties rather than a full-size lorry.
Hanham Green itself has limited passing space.
If you live there, book an early morning slot before 7:30am. Street access is easiest before commuter traffic builds. Our app lets you note access restrictions at the point of booking so the crew arrives prepared.

When Is the Best Time to Move?
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
When Hanham Streets Are Quietest
Here is what you need to know.
Most tenancy agreements and property completions fall on the last Friday of the month. Slots on those dates book out four to six weeks in advance. If your move is flexible, avoid the final week of the month entirely.
July and August account for around 40% of all UK house moves annually. In Hanham, competition for slots increases significantly from mid-June. If you are buying a property with a summer completion date, book your removal the moment contracts are exchanged.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday bookings attract lower demand. Our crews are less rushed, road traffic is lighter on Hanham Road and the A4174 ring road, and parking is easier to manage outside peak commuter hours.
A 7:30am or 8:00am start in Hanham means the crew loads before school traffic peaks around Hanham Woods Academy. The van is on the road before the A431 gets congested.
January and February are the quietest months in the removal industry. If you have flexibility on your exchange and completion dates, winter completions can save you money on the removal itself. Our prices and service quality remain the same year-round.
House Removals vs Man and Van in Hanham
It costs from £45 and typically involves one driver and one van. You may need to do more of the carrying yourself or pack more tightly.
The crew is larger, the vehicle is bigger, and the service includes wrapping, loading, transit, and unloading to your direction. It costs from £250 in Hanham for a two-bedroom home.
A large lorry cannot always access these roads. Giant Van assesses the right vehicle at the point of booking, so you never pay for more vehicle than the road can support.
If you are relocating out of Bristol, a full removal service with packing and transit insurance is the practical choice.

House Removals in Hanham, Bristol — FAQs
How much does a house removal in Hanham cost?
House removals in Hanham start at £250 for a small two-bedroom home and go up to £850 for a large five-bedroom property. The final price depends on property size, volume of furniture, access conditions, and if you add packing. Get an instant fixed price on our app or call.
Do you offer same-day house removals in Hanham?
Yes. Same-day removals in Hanham start from £80, subject to crew availability. Call as early as possible and we will check our schedule. We keep daily availability for short-notice bookings across the BS15 area. Booking through the app also shows live same-day slots.
What postcode does Hanham fall under?
Hanham falls under the BS15 postcode. Specific postcodes in the area include BS15 3, BS15 8, and BS15 9 depending on the street. Giant Van covers the full BS15 area and all surrounding Bristol postcodes as part of our standard service with no additional distance charge within this zone.
Can you remove furniture from a narrow street in Hanham?
Yes. For narrow streets such as those near Hanham Green or the High Street terrace rows, we use a 3.5-tonne Luton van rather than a full-size lorry. This vehicle fits standard UK residential roads and can manoeuvre in tight spaces. Note your access conditions in the app at the time of booking and we plan around them.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Every Giant Van removal includes goods-in-transit insurance and public liability cover as standard. If an item is damaged during the move, we handle the claim directly. You can request our full insurance documentation before booking. We recommend photographing high-value items before the crew arrives as supporting evidence.
How far in advance should I book a house removal in Hanham?
For end-of-month or summer moves, book four to six weeks in advance. End-of-month Fridays in June, July, and August are the busiest dates across Bristol. Midweek moves in quieter months can often be booked with just a few days' notice. Message us in the live chat to check current availability for your preferred date.
Do you offer packing services in Hanham?
Yes. Packing services start from £150 and include all boxes, tape, tissue paper, and bubble wrap. Our packers handle everything from kitchen crockery to fragile antiques. You can add packing to any house removal booking through our app. We can pack the day before your move or on move day itself depending on your schedule.
Do you move pianos in Hanham?
Yes. Giant Van offers specialist piano removal in Hanham, priced from £150 to £400 depending on the type of piano and access at both properties. Upright pianos, baby grands, and full grands are all handled by our specialist team. Start a live chat to discuss access before booking, particularly for older Hanham properties with steep or narrow stairs.
