Homes and Flats We Move in Old Market Bristol
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Old Market Bristol Coverage and Services
Old Market is one of Bristol's oldest commercial quarters. It sits in the BS2 postcode, bordered by the inner ring road and the Old City to the west. The area has changed fast. Former warehouses and Georgian terraces have been converted into flats and family homes.
Many properties in Old Market date back to the 18th and 19th centuries, with tall, narrow staircases and single-glazed sash windows that need careful handling on moving day.
Giant Van's removal crews have moved dozens of households out of Old Market over the past few years. We know which streets on Old Market Street and West Street have loading restrictions on weekdays. We know the tight turning circles on Carey's Lane. Our crews plan the route, the loading sequence, and the parking position before they arrive.
House removals in Old Market start at £250. That covers a two-person crew and a 3.5-tonne van for smaller moves. Larger properties or long-distance relocations are priced on request. We give you a fixed quote upfront. No hidden fees. You know exactly what you pay before we lift a single box.
We are fully insured for goods in transit and public liability. Every item is protected from the moment our crew begins loading. You can add packing to your booking from £150 if you need help wrapping fragile items or boxing up kitchen contents before moving day.
Reaching Your Door in Old Market Bristol
Old Market has some of the most complex access conditions in central Bristol.
Our crews deal with them every week, and we want you to know exactly what to expect before you book.
Old Market Street itself is a wide road, but loading bays are shared and time-restricted between 8am and 6pm on weekdays.
If you are moving from a flat above a commercial unit here, we recommend a Saturday morning start to avoid peak loading-bay competition with delivery vehicles.
West Street and the streets feeding off it, including Carey's Lane and St Matthias Park, have narrower carriageways.
A 7.5-tonne vehicle cannot navigate some of these without a 3-point turn. We use 3.5-tonne Sprinter vans or long-wheelbase Transits for properties in these streets, keeping access clean and quick.
The A420, which runs along the southern edge of Old Market, is the main arterial out of the area.
Heading east towards Bedminster and south Bristol is straightforward. Westbound towards the city centre and the M32 junction can be congested between 7.30am and 9am on weekday mornings.
Bristol City Council's resident parking zones (RPZ) in the adjacent St Philips and Lawrence Hill areas sometimes complicate parking for loading.
We can apply for a temporary parking suspension permit on your behalf if your property sits in a controlled zone. Allow at least five working days for the permit to be processed.
The nearest multi-storey car park is the Cabot Circus NCP on Bond Street, roughly 400 metres north-west.
This is useful if your property has no off-street access and you need a staging point for boxes before loading. Our crew will confirm the best plan during your pre-move call.

Work Out Your Moving CostPrep Tips for Your Old Market Bristol Move
Follow these tips and your moving day will run without disruption.
If you live on a controlled street in the BS2 postcode, apply to Bristol City Council at least five working days before your move. We can handle this on your behalf. A missing permit means our van parks farther away, which adds time and cost to your move.
Many Old Market conversions have staircases as narrow as 70cm wide and turns as tight as 90 degrees. Let us know when you call so we can bring the right equipment. A sofa that cannot navigate the stairs may need to go through a window or be disassembled.
This saves significant time on moving day. Our packing service covers this from £150 if you would prefer us to handle it. Either way, wrap fragile items in at least three layers of tissue or bubble wrap.
Washing machines need the drum secured and the hose drained. Fridges need defrosting overnight. Doing this the night before means no delays on the day.
Boxes going to the bedroom should say "Bedroom, unpack first" if they contain items you need immediately. Our crew loads and unloads in the sequence you define. Clear labelling cuts unpacking time at your new property by hours.
