Tailored Moving Services in Quayside
Quayside is one of Newcastle's most sought-after addresses. The stretch of converted warehouses, modern apartment blocks, and Georgian terraces along the River Tyne attracts buyers and renters from across the country. Giant Van has helped hundreds of households move into and out of this area.
We cover every part of the NE1 postcode and the surrounding streets. That includes the popular residential buildings along Quayside itself, the flats above the bars and restaurants near the Millennium Bridge, and the quieter residential pockets running back towards City Road and Pilgrim Street.
Our house removals service includes a dedicated removal team, a large Luton van or long-wheelbase vehicle depending on your load, furniture wrapping, and full goods-in-transit insurance. Prices for house removals in Quayside start from £250 for a one-bedroom property and rise to £850 for larger family homes.
We work seven days a week, including bank holidays. You can get an instant quote online, over the phone, or through the Giant Van app. Our GPS tracking system lets you follow your van in real time. You always know exactly where your belongings are.

Crew Navigation Tips for Quayside
Access in Quayside is one of the biggest practical challenges for any removal company in Newcastle.
The area sits along the northern bank of the Tyne, and the road layout makes large vehicle access genuinely tricky in several spots.
The main Quayside road is narrow in sections, particularly between the Swing Bridge and the Millennium Bridge.
Parked delivery vehicles, tourist coaches, and pedestrian crossings all create pinch points. Our drivers know these roads well and plan their arrival times accordingly.
Dean Street and Side are steep and tight.
These connecting routes between the Quayside level and the city centre above are not suitable for a fully loaded removal van. If you live on or near these streets, we will park on Quayside itself or on Sandgate and carry items by hand or trolley.
Many of the apartment buildings on Quayside, including Watergate Court and developments near Lime Street, have controlled loading bays.
You will need to arrange permission with your building management in advance. Our team will confirm this with you during the booking process.
Parking on the Quayside road itself requires a time-limited bay or a suspension.
Newcastle City Council can arrange parking suspensions. We recommend booking this at least five working days before your move date.
For weekend moves, traffic near the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and the Sage Gateshead can slow access from the Gateshead side of the bridge.
If you are coming from the south, allow extra time on Saturday mornings in particular.

Work Out Your Moving CostSorting Your Home Before a Quayside Move
Here are five practical steps every Quayside resident should take.
Newcastle City Council processes suspension requests through its website. Apply at least five working days before your move. Quayside bays fill up quickly on weekday mornings, so an early confirmation protects your slot.
Many modern apartment blocks on Quayside have passenger lifts, but the internal dimensions vary. Measure the lift before your move date. Standard three-seat sofas often cannot fit. Tell our team in advance so we can plan an alternative route, usually via the stairwell with additional crew members.
This is easy to overlook. A fridge with residual moisture leaks during transit. Give it at least 12 hours to dry out completely before the van arrives.
Our team works faster when they know where each box goes rather than what is inside. Write the destination room clearly on the top and one side of every box.
Quayside flats often contain heavy gym equipment, solid stone worktops, or large American-style fridge-freezers. These require specialist lifting equipment and extra crew. Share this information when you book so we arrive fully prepared.
