Homes and Flats We Move in Tollcross Glasgow
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Tollcross: Every Type of Move Covered
Tollcross sits in the east end of Glasgow, straddling the G31 and G32 postcode areas. It is a working residential district with a strong community feel. Streets like Tollcross Road, Shettleston Road, and Hamilton Road carry most of the local traffic. Housing stock ranges from solid Victorian red-brick tenements to post-war council semis and modern new-builds near Tollcross Park.
Giant Van runs house removals in Tollcross Glasgow every week. Our teams know this part of the city well. We know which closes have no parking, which communal stairs are tight, and where the parking restrictions fall along Wellshot Road.
House removals start from £250 for a small flat. A full three-bedroom house move typically costs between £450 and £850 depending on volume and distance. Every job includes a dedicated crew, a fully equipped vehicle, protective blankets, and strapping. You also get GPS tracking so you can follow your belongings in real time.
We are fully insured for public liability and goods in transit. That means your furniture, appliances, and personal items are protected from the moment our crew arrives to the moment we set down the last box. There are no hidden charges added at the end of the job.
For washer removal specifically, our team disconnects and disconnects standard top-load and front-load washing machines safely. We carry them down stairs, load them onto the van, and drop them at your new address or at a disposal point. Washer removal is one of our most requested single-item services in G31 and G32.
Your Tollcross Drop-off Made Simple
Access in Tollcross throws up challenges that removals crews face regularly.
Understanding them before moving day saves time and avoids extra cost.
Tenement buildings along Tollcross Road and Old Shettleston Road often have communal closes with single-width stairwells.
Furniture that cannot be dismantled must be lifted vertically. Wardrobes, sofas, and American-style fridge freezers need advance planning. Tell us your building type when you book and we bring the right equipment.
Parking on Tollcross Road and Hamilton Road falls under Glasgow City Council controlled zones.
Most of these apply Monday to Saturday between 8am and 6pm. We recommend booking a temporary parking suspension through Glasgow City Council at least 48 hours before your move. Our team can advise on the exact bay reference numbers for your street.
Side streets off Shettleston Road, such as Budhill Avenue and Amulree Street, are narrower.
A long-wheelbase Luton van may not be able to reverse fully. For these streets we dispatch a smaller crew vehicle alongside the main van where necessary. This keeps the move flowing without blocking neighbours.
Tollcross Park itself sits on Braidfauld Street, and properties bordering the park on Tollcross Park Grove occasionally have shared access lanes.
These need to be clear on moving day. Check with your factor or housing association a week before if your property shares a service lane.
For properties on Shettleston Road with ground-floor retail below flats, there is sometimes no dedicated vehicle drop-off point.
We assess this during your quote call and identify the nearest safe loading zone.

Work Out Your Moving CostThings to Do Before Your Tollcross Move
Tollcross tenements typically have closes between 80cm and 90cm wide. A standard three-seater sofa is usually 95cm wide flat. Measure before the crew arrives so you know in advance whether dismantling is needed.
Glasgow City Council processes these online through the Streetworks portal. Allow 5 working days. Suspensions cost around £35 per day per bay. This prevents the crew circling for 30 minutes and burning your paid hours.
Run a short empty cycle to drain residual water from the drum and hose. Place a towel inside the drum and secure the drum paddles with transit bolts if you still have them. A poorly drained machine leaks during transport.
Our crew works faster when boxes are marked KITCHEN or BEDROOM 2 rather than MISC. It also reduces the number of boxes that end up in the wrong room and need moving again.
Some Tollcross tenement factors require advance notice before large items are moved through communal areas. Failure to notify can result in complaints from neighbours or a cleaning charge if the close is marked during the move.
