Properties We Cover in Birmingham City Centre
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Our Birmingham City Centre Service Menu
Birmingham City Centre covers a dense mix of residential apartments, serviced offices, retail units and student blocks. The streets are busy and the access is rarely straightforward. Giant Van operates across B1, B2, B3, B4 and B5 every day of the week.
Our standard man and van service starts at £54 per hour and includes a driver plus one trained loader. Most city centre moves stay within two to three hours. We arrive with a clean, fully insured Luton van or transit, depending on what you need.
You book through our app, get a fixed quote upfront and track your driver in real time.
We handle everything from a single-room student flat above Broad Street to a full apartment move from the Mailbox or Brindleyplace waterfront. We also cover office clearances on Colmore Row and furniture deliveries into the Jewellery Quarter.
Common jobs we take in Birmingham City Centre:
Studio and one-bedroom flat moves within B1 and B2
Office furniture removals in the Colmore Business District
Mattress disposal from high-rise apartment blocks near Holloway Circus
Student moves between halls on Great Charles Street Queensway and private rentals in Digbeth
Retail unit clearances around Grand Central and New Street
Every job is quoted before we start. No hidden fuel surcharges, no surprise staircase fees. If your flat is above the third floor and there is no lift, just tell us when you book and we will factor it in.
Access Solutions for Birmingham City Centre Homes
Birmingham City Centre has seen a surge in residential development over the past decade.
Blocks like The Orion on Navigation Street, apartments along Granville Street, and conversions on Livery Street mean thousands of people now live where offices once stood. Moving in and out of these buildings takes planning.
Most central Birmingham apartment blocks have a single service lift with strict booking windows.
Some buildings on Broad Street give you only a two-hour slot on weekday mornings before loading bay restrictions kick in. Giant Van works within those windows. We arrive early, work fast and protect door frames, lifts and floor coverings throughout.
Our house removal prices in Birmingham City Centre:
One-bedroom flat: £250 to £400
Two-bedroom apartment: £400 to £650
Three-bedroom property: £650 to £900
These prices cover a driver, a loader, a fully equipped van and basic furniture disassembly and reassembly.
Packing materials are available to add at checkout.
We cover all the key residential areas within the city centre boundary.
Gas Street Basin, the Southside apartment blocks near Hurst Street, the newer developments off Newhall Street in the Jewellery Quarter, and the converted warehouses along Fazeley Street in Digbeth. Each area has its own quirks and we know them all.
Book by 9am and in most cases we can get a van to you the same day.
Our GPS tracking means you know exactly when we are five minutes away.

What Is Covered in Your Birmingham City Centre Move
Mattress disposal in Birmingham City Centre is one of the most searched-for removal add-ons we receive.
Council collections in B1 and B2 have a waiting list, and fly-tipping carries a £400 fixed penalty fine.
Giant Van takes mattresses away legally and responsibly so you do not have to worry about it.
We collect single, double, king and super-king mattresses from all property types in the city centre.
That includes high-floor apartments with no lift in blocks along Holloway Head, shared houses in the Southside area near Hurst Street, and student accommodation on Great Charles Street Queensway.
Our mattress disposal service starts from £48 per mattress when added to a removal booking.
A standalone collection is available from £55 including collection and legal disposal at a licensed site.
We do not leave mattresses in stairwells.
We do not dump them in skips.
Every mattress we collect goes to a licensed waste transfer station.
We carry waste transfer documentation and can provide it on request.
If you are furnishing a new flat and need an old mattress out the same day a new one arrives, we can coordinate the timing with your delivery slot.
Book online or call and a team member will confirm the collection window.
We also collect sofas, bed frames, white goods and general bulky waste from Birmingham City Centre addresses.
Same-day clearance is possible for most locations within B1 to B5.

How It Works in Birmingham City Centre
- 01
Birmingham City Centre is home to two very different commercial zones.
The Colmore Business District, roughly bounded by Colmore Row, Edmund Street and Newhall Street, hosts law firms, financial services companies and professional offices.
- 02
Digbeth, stretching from the Custard Factory on Gibb Street down to the railway arches near Adderley Street, is packed with creative agencies, tech startups and small studios.
- 03
Both areas need specialist handling for office moves, but the practical challenges differ.
- 04
In the Colmore Business District, building management teams are strict.
You need to book service lifts, use protective floor coverings and often work outside business hours to avoid disrupting other tenants. Giant Van carries lift protection blankets and trolley boots as standard.
- 05
We are familiar with the access arrangements at key buildings on Colmore Row and can liaise directly with building managers.
- 06
In Digbeth, the buildings are older and access is less regulated.
Many units are in converted warehouses with wide open loading doors, which makes moving furniture straightforward. The challenge is parking on Digbeth High Street and the adjacent streets, which can fill up quickly. We arrive early to secure access.
- 07
Office move pricing is based on volume and time.
Most single-office moves in the city centre take between three and six hours. Call for a tailored quote. We work evenings and weekends to keep disruption to your business to a minimum.

Why Birmingham City Centre Trusts Giant Van
There are dozens of man and van operators advertising in Birmingham. Here is what makes Giant Van different for city centre jobs specifically.
We know the streets. Drivers who have only worked in the suburbs struggle with Birmingham City Centre. We know that the loading bay on Navigation Street outside The Orion has a two-hour limit enforced by CCTV. We know that vehicles over 3.5 tonnes cannot access parts of Brindleyplace without a permit.
We know that the service roads behind the Mailbox fill up fast on Saturday mornings. That local knowledge saves you time and avoids fines.
We are fully insured. Every booking includes £500 of goods-in-transit cover free, with £3,000 Plus cover available for £12. Your belongings are protected throughout the move.
We are transparent on price. The quote you see is the price you pay. Our hourly rate for a man and van is £45. Parking access and any Congestion Charge or ULEZ costs are priced into your quote up front.
We have the technology. Our app gives you instant quotes, real-time GPS tracking and digital receipts. You manage everything from your phone.
We are available. Same-day bookings, evening moves and weekend jobs are all possible. If you need to be out of your flat by 8am on a Saturday, we can make that happen.
