Oldham Road Access, Parking Restrictions, and Tight Streets
Oldham has some of the most challenging access conditions in Greater Manchester.
Our drivers know this area well and plan accordingly before every job.
The town centre around Oldham Mumps and the Spindles area has heavy traffic flow during school runs and market days.
We avoid these corridors between 8am and 9am and again from 3pm to 4:30pm. Yorkshire Street in OL1 has double yellow lines along most of its length. We use loading bays on Henshaw Street or arrange temporary parking suspensions with Oldham Council for longer jobs.
Glodwick presents particular challenges.
The streets around Glodwick Road and Cornhill Street are narrow, with parked cars on both sides. Our smaller Transit vans handle these routes without blocking traffic. For larger moves in this area, we send a two-person crew with a compact 3.5-tonne vehicle rather than a full-size lorry.
Chadderton is easier.
The A669 gives good access, and most roads off Middleton Road in OL9 have adequate width. Shaw Road in OL2 is straightforward for loading. Royton town centre on Rochdale Road can get busy on Saturdays.
Failsworth, on the southern edge of Oldham's OL9 postcode, sits on the A62.
This is a fast A-road with good kerb clearance for loading. For flats at Oldham College halls of residence or the Mumps development, we carry ramp boards and load straps as standard.
If you're unsure about access at your address, send us photos through the app.
We assess within the hour and plan the right vehicle and crew for the job.

6 Tips
Here are five practical steps every Oldham customer should follow.
Contact Oldham Council's highways team or call the council on 0161 770 3000 to request a temporary suspension if you need a loading bay outside your property. Applications need at least five working days. This is especially important for properties on Lees Road, Rochdale Road, and the terraced streets in Werneth.
Oldham's Victorian terraces often have narrow hallways. Measure your sofa, wardrobe, and fridge before your move date. If anything won't fit through the front door, we can arrange for window or crane removal. Tell us in advance and we plan for it at no extra cost.
Our crew works fastest when boxes are labelled with both room name and contents. Use a waterproof marker. OL1 postcodes often have damp hallways, so cardboard boxes left overnight can soften. Store packed boxes in a dry room.
Washing machines in Oldham's hard water area often have mineral build-up in hoses. Let them drain fully. Defrost your fridge freezer the night before so there's no water leakage in the van.
Oldham move dates cluster around month ends and school holidays. Saturday slots fill up fast, particularly in September when families move before the school term. Mid-week moves are cheaper and easier to schedule at short notice.

Why Oldham Residents Choose Giant Van Over Local Alternatives
There are dozens of removal companies serving Oldham. Here's what makes Giant Van different in practice, not in marketing claims.
We give you a fixed price upfront. Most local removal firms in OL1 quote an hourly rate and then add charges for fuel, stairs, waiting time, and materials. Our quotes cover all of that. What you see is what you pay.
We offer same-day bookings. If you complete on a property today, call us before 10am and we can often be at your door the same afternoon. Our fleet is based across Greater Manchester, with drivers in or near Oldham every day.
Our app gives you real GPS tracking. This isn't a gimmick. It means you can be at your new property, managing the handover, while still seeing exactly where your van is. Families with children find this especially useful when coordinating school pick-ups around a move.
We are fully insured. Every load is covered. We carry £50,000 of goods-in-transit cover per vehicle and £2 million public liability insurance. Any local firm you consider should be able to confirm the same. Many cannot.
We don't subcontract. When you book Giant Van, Giant Van crew turn up. We don't pass jobs to other operators when we're busy. If we can't take your date, we tell you honestly rather than passing you to a third party.
We answer the phone. Call between 7am and 9pm, seven days a week. You'll speak to someone who can confirm your booking, adjust your quote, or answer a question about your move. No voicemail, no callback forms during business hours.

Best Times to Book a Removal in Oldham
7 Tips
Here's what we see from hundreds of moves in the OL postcode area each year.
This is completion day for most Oldham conveyancing solicitors, including firms on Henshaw Street and Union Street. Removal vans queue up on housing estates across Shaw, Royton, and Chadderton. Traffic builds on the A627 and through the town centre. If you complete on a Friday, try to arrange your move for Saturday or Monday instead.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are our quietest days. Availability is high and crews arrive on time without the weekend rush affecting motorway routes from our Manchester depot.
The last week of August and the first week of September see demand spike across all OL postcodes. Families move to be near better-rated schools before term starts. If you can move in July or after mid-September, prices are lower and slot availability is much better.
Post-Christmas moves are rare. We offer our most competitive rates during these months. If you're not tied to a specific date, a January mid-week move gives you the best value and fastest service.
We can usually get a van to OL1, OL2, or OL9 within three hours of a morning call. Afternoon same-day requests can be tighter depending on crew availability.

Are my belongings insured during an Oldham removal?

Your belongings are covered from the moment loading begins at your Oldham address to the moment the last item is placed in your new property. No excess applies on standard household goods claims.
Can you help with parking on narrow Oldham streets?
Yes. For properties on narrow streets in areas like Glodwick, Werneth, and Lees, we can advise on temporary parking suspensions through Oldham Council. Call the council on 0161 770 3000 at least five working days before your move. We can also send a smaller van where full-size vehicles won't fit. Tell us your street when you book.
Do you offer packing services in Oldham?
Yes. Our packing service in Oldham starts from £150. We supply all boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. Our crew pack your belongings room by room and label every box clearly. This service can be added to any house removal or office move booking. Packing is available the day before your move or on the morning of your move day.
What is the best day to move house in Oldham?
Mid-week moves on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday are the best option in Oldham. They are on average 12% cheaper than weekend slots and avoid the conveyancing completion rush on last Fridays of the month. Avoid the last week of August when school-move demand peaks across OL postcodes. January and February offer the lowest prices year-round.
Do you move pianos and heavy items in Oldham?
Yes. Piano removals in Oldham cost between £150 and £400 depending on piano type and access conditions. Upright pianos in Victorian terraces on streets like Lees Road often require specialist manoeuvring through tight hallways. Our crew carries piano boards and straps as standard equipment. Call to discuss your piano type and we'll confirm the right approach for your property.
