Properties We Cover in Shirley
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Full-Service Shirley Removals
Shirley sits in the south of Birmingham, stretching across postcodes B90 and parts of B91. It is a busy residential suburb with a strong mix of terraced housing, semi-detached homes, and modern flats. If you are in Monkspath, Dickens Heath, or right along the Stratford Road, Giant Van covers every part of Shirley with a professional man and van service.
Our man with van Shirley service starts from £48 for small, single-item collections. Larger moves, such as a one-bedroom flat, typically run between £80 and £150 depending on access, distance, and the number of items. We give you an instant, fixed quote before we arrive so there are no surprises on moving day.
We carry furniture, white goods, boxes, and fragile items. Our team handle everything with care and use blankets, straps, and specialist wrapping where needed. You are not handed a vehicle and left to it. A trained mover is with you from start to finish. That means loading, transport, and unloading at your destination is all taken care of.
Same-day availability makes this service ideal for Shirley residents who need to move quickly. A landlord has given notice, a purchase has completed ahead of schedule, or a spare room needs clearing before a family member arrives. Whatever the reason, we can usually get a van to you within a few hours.
Call or book through the Giant Van app to check availability right now.
Road Planning for Shirley Moves
Operating across Birmingham, shirley presents a range of access conditions that our drivers know well.
The Stratford Road (A34) is the main artery running through the centre of Shirley. It carries heavy traffic during weekday rush hours, particularly between 7:30am and 9:00am and again from 4:30pm to 6:30pm.
If you are moving from a property on or just off the Stratford Road, we recommend booking a slot for mid-morning or early afternoon to avoid unnecessary delays.
Parking can be tight on residential streets such as Haslucks Green Road, Streetsbrook Road, and Bills Lane.
Many of these are permit-controlled zones. You should check whether a short-term parking suspension is needed for moving day. Solihull Council handles these permits for Shirley, and applications can take up to five working days.
Our team can advise on what to request when you book.
Dickens Heath, to the south of Shirley, is a purpose-built village with narrow access roads and limited turning space for larger vehicles.
Our standard man and van Luton or long-wheelbase Transit is usually manageable there, but it is worth flagging the access point when you book so we can send the right-sized vehicle.
Monkspath Business Park is another regular job for us.
Commercial moves from office suites along Highlands Road and Stratford Road require careful planning around business hours and lift access. If you need an out-of-hours slot, we offer early morning and weekend bookings at the same rate.
GPS tracking on every van means you always know when we are arriving, down to the minute.

Work Out Your Moving CostPrep Tips for Your Shirley Move
These five tips are specific to moving in and around Shirley.
Streets around Haslucks Green Road and Streetsbrook Road fill up fast. Apply to Solihull Council at least five working days in advance to reserve space directly outside your door. This avoids the van parking 50 metres away and costing you extra time.
Wardrobes, bed frames, and dining tables take up a disproportionate amount of van space when assembled. Taking them apart saves space and reduces the number of trips. We can reassemble at the destination if needed, just let us know at the time of booking.
When we unload at your new address, it is far faster for us to place boxes correctly first time. Write the destination room on every side of the box, not just the top.
If you are moving to a flat in Shirley town centre or along Station Road, let us know about stairs, lifts, and entry codes in advance. We plan our time around these, and knowing beforehand means we price your quote accurately too.
Every Giant Van vehicle is GPS-tracked. You will see your mover on a live map from the moment they set off. No need to call and check. This is especially useful if you are juggling a solicitor or estate agent on moving day.

Dickens Heath (B90) is a regular collection point for us.
The village has grown significantly in the last decade and we handle a large number of flat and house moves there every month.

It is a popular commuter area with a mix of modern detached homes and town houses. We handle moves both into and out of Monkspath regularly.
Cheswick Green (B90) is a quiet residential village just south of Shirley.
Narrow lanes and limited parking mean we always plan the vehicle size carefully for this area.

Hall Green (B28) lies to the north-west of Shirley.
It is a busy residential suburb and a common destination for people moving out of Shirley rental properties.
Acocks Green (B27) is another frequent stop for us, particularly for house clearances and single-item collections from period terraces.
