Moving and Delivery in Whickham
Whickham sits on the southern bank of the River Tyne in Gateshead, just five miles west of Newcastle city centre. It is a busy residential area with a mix of period terraces, post-war semis, and newer estates. Giant Van has been moving households in and out of Whickham for years.

Practical Logistics for Whickham Moves
In Newcastle, whickham presents some access challenges that our drivers handle every week.
The village centre around Front Street and Church Street has restricted parking during peak hours. Our team arrives early and, where needed, contacts Gateshead Council to arrange a parking suspension ahead of your move date.
This keeps the lorry close to your front door and cuts loading time significantly.
Swalwell, on the eastern edge of Whickham, sits beside the A694 and the River Derwent.
Properties near Clockburn Drive and Fellside Road benefit from good road width, but some lanes leading off the B6315 near Dunston Hill are narrow. Our 3.5-tonne luton vans are the right size for those tighter streets.
We assess the access route during your booking and send the appropriate vehicle.
The Axwell Park area has longer private driveways and gated roads.
We account for this in our planning. The Team Valley Trading Estate nearby means HGV traffic on the A692 can be heavy on weekday mornings. We schedule early starts from 7:30am to beat the build-up. Burnopfield Road and the B6317 heading south towards Clara Vale are clear by mid-morning.
We plan your route to avoid delays and give you a realistic time window on the day.
