House Removals Service in Openshaw, Manchester
Openshaw is a working-class residential district in the east of Manchester, sitting within the M11 postcode. It borders Clayton to the north, Gorton to the south, and Beswick to the west. The area is largely made up of Victorian terraced houses, 1960s council stock, and newer housing association builds on regenerated land. Giant Van operates across all of it.
Fully InsuredFixed PriceSame-Day AvailableTrained Team
Our house removals service in Openshaw covers properties of every size. A one-bedroom flat moves start from £250. A three or four-bedroom house with a full contents load typically runs between £450 and £850, depending on access, floor level, and volume. You get an instant online quote with no hidden charges.
Every booking includes a two-person crew, a fully equipped removal van, furniture blankets, and basic loading equipment. Our vehicles range from a Luton van to a 7.5-tonne truck, depending on your move size. All jobs are fully insured in transit. We're not a man-with-a-van outfit. We're a professional removal company with a structured system and a team trained to protect your home and your belongings throughout the move.
We cover moves within Openshaw, from Openshaw to elsewhere in Greater Manchester, and long-distance removals from Openshaw to any part of the UK. Prices for long-distance moves from M11 start from £500. Call for a same-day quote.
Access and Road Conditions in Openshaw You Need to Know
Openshaw has specific access challenges that affect how removal vehicles operate.
Our drivers know the area well. Here is what matters when planning your move.
Ashton Old Road (A635) is the main artery running east to west through Openshaw.
It is a dual carriageway with no stopping zones for most of its length. If your property fronts or sits close to this road, we plan our loading times to avoid peak hours, typically before 8am or after 6pm.
The side streets off Ashton Old Road, such as Midland Street and Toxteth Street, are narrow terraced rows.
Parking bays are tight and often occupied by residents' vehicles. We recommend speaking to neighbours ahead of moving day to keep a loading space clear. In some cases we apply for a temporary parking suspension through Manchester City Council, particularly for larger moves.
Higher Openshaw, around the Openshaw Retail Park area off the A6010 Pottery Lane, has wider access roads suitable for our larger vehicles.
Lees Street and Boundary Lane in Lower Openshaw present more restricted access, especially for a 7.5-tonne truck.
The Metrolink line runs through nearby Velopark and the Etihad Campus.
This does not directly affect road access in residential Openshaw, but it does affect traffic flow on Alan Turing Way and Ashton New Road during event days at the Etihad Stadium. We factor this into scheduling. Always tell us your exact postcode and street when booking so we can plan the most efficient vehicle approach and avoid unnecessary delays.

Get your exact price5 Tips for Moving House in Openshaw Without Problems
6 Tips
These five tips will save you time, stress, and money on moving day.
The side streets in Lower Openshaw, particularly around Toxteth Street and the terraced grid near St Barnabas Church, have no dedicated loading areas. Contact Manchester City Council at least five working days before your move to request a temporary parking suspension. The council covers M11 under its standard permit zone enforcement team.
Victorian terraced houses in Openshaw typically have narrow hallways and tight stairwell turns. Wardrobes and double bed frames rarely fit through in one piece. Disassemble them the evening before the move to avoid delays. Our crew carries basic tools, but pre-disassembly speeds things up significantly.
When unpacking at your new address, room labels help our crew place boxes exactly where they belong. This prevents heavy boxes ending up in the wrong floor and saves you extra lifting. Use a consistent colour-coded system per room.
Gas, electricity, and water meter readings should be photographed before loading begins and again at your new property on arrival. Do this before the crew starts work. It takes two minutes and prevents billing disputes.
Remove wheelie bins, plant pots, and bikes from garden paths and front doors on both the collection and delivery address. A clear path reduces handling time by 20 to 30 minutes on a typical Openshaw terrace. That translates directly to a lower hourly cost on time-based jobs.

Why Openshaw Residents Choose Giant Van for House Removals
Choosing a removal company in Openshaw means choosing someone who understands the area and can be relied on. Here is why Giant Van is the right choice.
We offer same-day availability. If your completion date moves forward unexpectedly or you need to vacate urgently, we can often deploy a crew to Openshaw within hours. This is not a marketing claim. It is a function of our crew scheduling system and real-time availability management.
Our pricing is fixed and transparent. The quote you receive is the price you pay. We do not add fuel surcharges or access fees after the job. All costs are included in the upfront price.
We operate with full goods-in-transit insurance. Your belongings are covered throughout the move. This matters most when moving through the narrow terraced streets of Openshaw, where a moment's error can damage furniture against a doorframe or gatepost.
Instant quotes via our app or phone mean you are not waiting days for a surveyor. For straightforward residential moves, our quoting system generates a price in under two minutes.
GPS tracking on every vehicle gives you full visibility of your move from the moment loading begins. You do not need to follow the van or worry about timing at the destination. You can monitor the vehicle live.
We have handled hundreds of moves across M11 and East Manchester. We know that Midland Street is a tight access point. We know that Ashton Old Road is unsuitable for stopping at peak times. That local knowledge reduces the risk of delays and damage.

Best Days and Times to Book Your Openshaw House Removal
8 Tips
Here is practical guidance based on how this area operates.
Friday is the busiest completion day in the UK property market. Demand for removal crews spikes significantly. Prices are higher, availability is tighter, and solicitor delays are more likely. If your conveyancer gives you a choice, opt for a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday completion.
The Etihad Campus sits less than a mile from Openshaw. Match days and major events create heavy traffic on Alan Turing Way, Ashton New Road, and the surrounding network. Check the Manchester City fixture list and avoid those dates for your move if you can.
An 8am start allows the crew to load during the quietest road window in Openshaw. Ashton Old Road builds significant traffic from 7:30am. An early start means your van is loaded and moving before the rush. It also gives you the full day at the new property to unpack and settle.
Same-day slots are available but limited. Two weeks' notice guarantees your preferred date, crew size, and vehicle type.
The last three working days of any month see a spike in completions across Greater Manchester. If you are completing around month end, book your removal crew as soon as you exchange contracts.
Our man and van service starts from £45 for smaller loads during these quieter periods.
Giant Van vs Other Removal Companies in Openshaw
6 Tips
Giant Van offers instant online quotes without requiring a surveyor visit. Many local removal firms in Greater Manchester still require an in-home assessment before pricing, which adds days to the process. Our quote is generated in under two minutes online or over the phone.
You can monitor your removal van in real time from loading to delivery. Most local operators do not offer this. You ring them to find out where they are. With Giant Van, you already know.
Our crew scheduling system allows us to deploy to Openshaw on short notice. This matters when completion dates shift at the last minute, which is common in the Manchester property market.
No fuel surcharges, no access fees, no last-minute additions. What you are quoted is what you pay. Some removal companies in the area quote low and add charges on the day once your belongings are on the van. We do not operate that way.
You do not need to take out separate cover or worry about liability for items in transit. Everything in our care is covered.
We are the most reliable one. If your priority is knowing that your belongings will arrive safely, on time, and at the price you agreed, Giant Van is the right choice. Call 020 3129 6180 or book through our app.
