House Removals in Old Market, Bristol
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.
Fully InsuredFixed Price
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.
Access Conditions and Parking in Old Market BS2
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.

6 Tips
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. We carry straps, furniture sliders, and stair-climbing trolleys.
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.

Areas We Cover Around Old Market Bristol
Giant Van covers Old Market and the surrounding neighbourhoods across central and east Bristol.
If you are moving within BS2, relocating to another part of the city, or heading further afield, we have the capacity and the local knowledge to get you there.
From Old Market, we regularly move customers to and from:
Stokes Croft and Montpelier (BS6) are 1.5 miles north-west and are popular destinations for Old Market movers.
These areas have steep streets and limited parking. Our crews know the specific challenges on Cheltenham Road and Stokes Croft High Street.
Lawrence Hill (BS5), directly east of Old Market, is another frequent destination.
The area has a mix of Victorian terraces and more recent housing association stock. Our crew is experienced with both.
Bedminster and Southville (BS3) are accessible via the A4044 and the Temple Way route.
These are among Bristol's most in-demand areas. We complete several moves between Old Market and Southville each month.
St George and Hanham sit further east along the A420.
These are ideal for families leaving Old Market's flat-conversion stock and moving into larger semi-detached housing.
Easton (BS5), immediately north-east of Old Market, has experienced significant gentrification.
We move customers between Old Market and Easton weekly. The route takes under ten minutes with light traffic.
We also cover long-distance moves from Old Market to London, Cardiff, Birmingham, and beyond.

Why Old Market Residents Choose Giant Van
Giant Van is not the only removal company available to Old Market residents. Here is why local customers choose us over the alternatives.
We offer same-day availability. If you need to move today, call before 10am and we will do everything we can to dispatch a crew to you in Old Market that morning. Same-day house moves start from £80.
Our app booking is genuine. You can get a quote, confirm your booking, track your crew, and manage payment entirely through the app. There is no phone tag, no waiting for a callback, and no emailed PDFs to sign.
We are fully insured. This is non-negotiable for us. Every move is covered by goods-in-transit and public liability insurance. If something is damaged, we fix it. We do not direct you to a loss adjuster. We handle it.
Our crews are employed and trained. We do not use agency labour or self-employed drivers sourced on the same day. Every crew member has completed our induction programme and worked at least 20 supervised moves before leading a job independently.
Our pricing is fixed at quote. What you see in the app is what you pay. We do not add fuel surcharges, congestion charges, or "difficult access" fees after the job. If we quote £350 for your Old Market to Bedminster move, that is what you pay.
Our prices are competitive. House removals start at £250. Man and van services start at £45. We do not compete by cutting corners. We compete by being efficient, fast, and reliable.

Best Times to Book House Removals in Old Market
7 Tips
Here is what we know from completing hundreds of moves in the BS2 area.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are the quietest days for removals across all of Bristol. If you can take a day off work, a midweek move in Old Market typically costs 10 to 15 per cent less than a Friday or Saturday booking. Fewer vehicles are competing for loading bays, and our crews can often start earlier.
The commercial vehicles that use Old Market Street for deliveries during the week are absent on Saturdays before noon. This makes parking and loading considerably easier for residential properties along the main street and on West Street. Book Saturday mornings at least three weeks in advance during spring and summer.
This is the single most congested day for house removals across Bristol. End-of-month lease completions in BS2 and surrounding postcodes create high demand. Prices are higher, and crews are under more pressure. If your completion date is the last Friday of the month, call us immediately. We book up fast.
June, July, and August are the busiest removal months in Old Market. Book at least four to six weeks ahead if you are moving during school summer holidays.
Demand drops significantly after Christmas. If your purchase or tenancy start allows flexibility, a January or February move in Old Market will secure you the best price and the most flexible scheduling.
