Homes and Flats We Move in Alwoodley
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Alwoodley: Every Type of Move Covered
Alwoodley sits in north Leeds, roughly four miles from the city centre. It covers the LS17 postcode district and includes areas like Alwoodley Gates, Alwoodley Park, and the streets running off King Lane. The housing stock here is varied.
You will find 1930s semis, large detached family homes, and purpose-built apartments near Alwoodley Lane, alongside smaller terraced properties closer to the Moor Allerton boundary.
Giant Van operates in Alwoodley every week. Our removals teams know the area well, including the one-way systems around Tarn Lane and the restricted turns near Alwoodley Primary School on Wigton Lane. We bring a two-person crew on every house move, so there is always a driver and a loader working together.
Our standard house removals service covers full loading and unloading, furniture wrapping, van blankets for all items, and GPS-tracked transport. Prices start from £250 for a smaller property and reach up to £850 for a large family home. We give you a firm quote before we start, with no surprise charges added on the day.
If you need packing too, we can supply boxes, bubble wrap, and tape, with packing labour from £150. That service is popular with clients on Plantation Drive and Sandhill Oval who are moving to properties further afield and want everything handled in one visit. Book online, by phone, or through the Giant Van app.
We will confirm your slot within the hour.
Alwoodley Permit and Parking Support
Alwoodley has access challenges that removals crews from outside Leeds sometimes underestimate.
The A61 Harrogate Road runs along the western edge of the area and carries heavy traffic during morning and evening peak hours. Our drivers avoid this route between 7:30am and 9:00am and again from 4:30pm to 6:30pm when booking timed moves in LS17.
King Lane is the main east-west artery through Alwoodley.
Parking bays are limited outside many properties on King Lane itself. For moves on this road, we ask clients to reserve a space with a council-issued parking suspension at least 48 hours in advance. We can advise you on applying for this through Leeds City Council if needed.
The residential streets off Wigton Lane, including Balmoral Drive and Sandmoor Drive, are relatively wide and accessible.
Our standard 3.5-tonne Luton van fits without difficulty. However, the cul-de-sac layouts near Alwoodley Gates mean we sometimes need to perform multiple forward-and-back manoeuvres to reach front doors. Our crews factor this into the time estimate.
Tarn Lane, near Moortown, has a narrow section close to the junction with Street Lane.
If your property access falls on this stretch, we will send a crew familiar with that road.
All of this local knowledge is built into how we quote and schedule your job, so you are not paying for time wasted on a driver getting lost or misjudging access.

Work Out Your Moving CostAlwoodley Moving Checklist
Getting organised in advance saves time and reduces cost. Here are five practical steps.
Leeds City Council processes these through the highways department. Without one, the crew must park further away and carry items a greater distance, which adds time.
Our crews cannot legally transport appliances with standing water inside. Most Alwoodley homes have American-style fridge freezers that need at least 12 hours to fully defrost. Do this the evening before your move.
IKEA wardrobes and bed frames from properties on Plantation Drive and Sandhill Oval add 30 to 45 minutes per item if our crew must do it. If you want us to handle dismantling, add this to your quote and we will budget time for it.
Your new home gets loaded faster when every box is marked "master bedroom" or "kitchen" rather than "books" or "pots." Use coloured tape or a marker pen.
Move bins, garden furniture, and any vehicles before 7:30am on move day. Our crew starts the clock at the booked time, and a blocked path costs you money.

Same-day availability.
If your completion date is confirmed at short notice, or if your previous removals firm has let you down, we can often put a crew in Alwoodley within hours.
This is not a guarantee, but it is a genuine operational capability that we maintain because demand for same-day moves in north Leeds is consistent.
Instant quotes with no negotiation.
You enter the details, you get a price.
That price does not change unless your job scope changes.
Clients on Sandhill Oval and Balmoral Drive appreciate that there are no phone calls, no callbacks, and no inflated prices on the day.
App-based booking and GPS tracking.
You can manage your entire move from your phone.
Book, check crew location, track the van, and receive your receipt, all through the app.

When Is the Best Time to Move?
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
Smart Scheduling for Alwoodley Moves
Giant Van vs Other Removals Companies in Alwoodley
That quote often changes on move day when the crew discovers stairs, long carries, or parking issues they were not told about.
You enter the job details online, the price is calculated based on real variables, and that price is locked. If the crew arrives and the job is as described, you pay what you were quoted. Full stop.
A single person carrying a four-door wardrobe down stairs on Sandmoor Drive is a safety risk and a slow process. Giant Van uses two-person crews on all house removals as standard.
Giant Van built this into the service from the start. You always know where your van is and when it will arrive.
You do not pay extra to protect your belongings.
Most firms book two to seven days out. Giant Van maintains same-day capacity in Alwoodley on most weekdays. Message us in the live chat to check availability for today.
Giant Van provides house removals across Alwoodley and all LS17 postcodes.
Our teams are available seven days a week, including bank holidays.

House Removals in Alwoodley, Leeds — FAQs
How much does a house removal in Alwoodley cost?
House removals in Alwoodley, Leeds start from £250 for a one-bedroom property and go up to £850 for a large family home. The price depends on the size of your home, the distance to your new property, and any additional services like packing. Get an instant fixed quote at giantvan.co.uk or call.
Do you offer same-day house removals in LS17?
