Homes and Flats We Move in Trafford
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
From Trafford Flats to Houses
Trafford is one of Greater Manchester's most varied boroughs. It stretches from the busy roads around Old Trafford to the quieter suburban streets of Timperley and Bowdon. Giant Van runs house removals throughout the area every day of the week.
We serve all major neighbourhoods including Stretford, Sale, Urmston, Altrincham, Partington, and Davyhulme. Our drivers know the local roads well. They understand that Washway Road through Sale can back up on school mornings, and that parking near the cricket ground on Talbot Road requires a permit.
Our house removals service in Trafford covers properties of all sizes. One-bedroom flats near Trafford Park, three-bedroom semis in Flixton, detached houses in Bowdon, and everything in between. Prices start from £250 and go up to £850 depending on property size, distance, and the amount of furniture involved.
Every job includes two trained movers, a large van, protective blankets, and transit straps.
We are fully insured for goods in transit and public liability. Your belongings are covered from the moment our crew begins loading to the moment the last box is placed in your new home. There are no hidden charges. You receive a fixed price before we arrive. Call or book through our app for an instant quote.
Giant Van has built its reputation in Trafford by showing up on time and treating every home move with care.
Tight Spaces in Trafford: Our Approach
Trafford presents specific access challenges that every removal company should understand before arriving on the day.
Giant Van's drivers are briefed on the borough's road layout before each job.
The A56 Chester Road is the main arterial route through Trafford and can be slow between 7am and 9am.
We plan early starts or mid-morning departures to avoid this. Seymour Grove and Barlow Moor Road near Chorlton border often have on-street parking restrictions that require a resident permit.
If you live on these roads, we recommend contacting Trafford Council in advance to arrange a temporary suspension order for the day of your move.
Old Trafford around the stadium on Warwick Road has event days that close nearby streets.
If Manchester United has a home fixture, access can be severely restricted for hours. Always check the fixture list before booking your removal date.
In Sale, the streets around Northenden Road and School Road are narrow in parts.
Our crew assesses access on arrival and adjusts positioning to keep loading time efficient. Partington and Carrington have some roads with weight restrictions due to older bridge infrastructure. We use approved routes to ensure full compliance.
The Trafford Centre at Trafford Wharf Road draws heavy traffic on weekends.
Properties in Salford Quays or Pomona Island near the borough boundary can be affected. Midweek removals between 10am and 2pm give the smoothest access window. Our team always calls ahead to confirm parking options and flag any issues before moving day.

Work Out Your Moving CostHow to Make Your Trafford Move Easier
Here are five practical steps that make a genuine difference.
Trafford Council requires at least five working days' notice for a temporary parking suspension outside your property. On streets like Marsland Road in Sale or Edge Lane in Stretford, a suspension order makes loading and unloading significantly faster.
The less you move, the quicker and cheaper the job. Book a bulky waste collection with Trafford Council or use a local charity shop on Washway Road. Fewer items means a shorter load time and a lower final quote.
Label every box with the room it belongs to and whether it is fragile. Our crew uses your labels to place boxes directly into the correct rooms at your new address. This saves you hours of sorting once we have gone.
Fridges and freezers must be switched off and fully defrosted before we move them. Washing machines need the drum secured with transit bolts. If you are unsure how to do this, let us know when you book and we can advise.
Giant Van's GPS tracking lets you see exactly where your crew is at all times. If you are waiting at the new property, you will know when to expect us. Download the app before moving day and share the tracking link with anyone else who needs it.
