Properties We Cover in Horfield
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Horfield Coverage and Services
Horfield is a busy north Bristol suburb sitting between the Gloucester Road and Filton Avenue. The area covers postcodes BS7 0, BS7 8, and BS7 9, and it stretches from Horfield Common in the south up towards Filton Road in the north. Moving here requires local knowledge.
Our drivers know the one-way systems around Muller Road and the tight residential streets off Kellaway Avenue.
Giant Van has been moving people in and out of Horfield for years. We handle everything from student flat clearances near the UWE halls to full family home moves on Dovercourt Road. Our man and van service starts from £48 for a small load. Larger moves with multiple vans and crew members are priced from £150.
We cover all move types in Horfield. That includes flat moves, house removals, single-item furniture delivery, office clearances, and same-day emergency moves. Every job comes with a fully insured crew and a GPS-tracked vehicle. You can watch your van on the Giant Van app in real time.
Horfield has a mix of Victorian terraces, post-war semis, and purpose-built flats. We know where to park on Filton Avenue without blocking the bus route. We know which Muller Road side streets have dropped kerbs. We have moved pianos out of first-floor flats on Doone Road and sofas through tight hallways on Kellaway Avenue.
That local experience saves time and protects your belongings.
Horfield Parking, Loading, and Access
Horfield has some of the trickiest access conditions in north Bristol.
Here is what our drivers deal with every week on your streets.
Gloucester Road (A38) runs along the western edge of Horfield.
It is one of the longest continuous shopping streets in Europe, and parking is restricted for much of its length. Our drivers know exactly which loading bays are available before 9am and after 6pm. If your flat fronts directly onto Gloucester Road, book our early-morning or evening slots.
Filton Avenue carries heavy bus traffic from the number 73 and 75 routes.
Double-yellow lines run for long stretches near Filton Road junction. Our team scouts the correct stopping point in advance so we do not hold up traffic or receive a penalty charge notice.
The Horfield Common area around Kellaway Avenue and Wellington Hill West has narrow residential streets with cars parked on both sides.
Our standard 3.5-tonne Luton vans fit through these gaps. For very bulky loads we may send a smaller transit first to do multiple runs.
Muller Road is a key cut-through but has speed humps and a narrow central section near the Tesco Express.
Heavy furniture requires careful strapping and padding to survive the short drive without shifting.
BS7 8 and BS7 9 have several purpose-built flat blocks with no lifts and communal stairwells less than one metre wide.
Always tell us at booking if your property has stairs, no lift, or a parking suspension in place. We can arrange a parking suspension permit via Bristol City Council for you if you give us 72 hours notice.
The council charges £30 per day per bay for suspensions in BS7.

Work Out Your Moving CostThings That Simplify a Horfield Move
Follow these five steps for a stress-free move day.
A one-bedroom flat on Doone Road typically needs a standard Luton van (19 cubic metres). A three-bedroom semi on Dovercourt Road usually needs two runs or a large Luton (19 cubic metres). Use our instant quote tool to get the correct size based on your room count and item list.
Streets off Kellaway Avenue have resident permit zones active from 8am to 8pm Monday to Saturday. If you do not have a visitor permit or a suspension in place, our van cannot legally stop outside your property.
IKEA flatpack wardrobes and bed frames come apart quickly. Pre-dismantling cuts job time by 20 to 40 minutes, which saves you money on hourly-rate bookings.
Books, records, and kitchenware in large boxes become too heavy for one person to carry safely. Use boxes no larger than 45x30x30cm for anything dense. We sell double-walled moving boxes for £2.50 each if you need extras.
Horfield has a lot of original Victorian tiled hallways and hardwood floors. Our crew uses furniture sliders and floor runners as standard, but knowing in advance means we bring the right protective kit. Scratching a landlord's hardwood floor can cost hundreds of pounds to repair.

Dependable Horfield Removals Since Day One
Hundreds of Horfield residents have moved with Giant Van. Here is what makes us different from a local sole-trader or a national removal firm.
Same-day availability. Most removal companies in Bristol require 48 to 72 hours notice. Giant Van offers same-day slots from £80. If your completion date moves forward or you need an emergency clearance, call and we will find a slot.
Instant quotes with no callbacks. You do not fill in a form and wait for someone to phone you back. Our quote engine gives you a fixed price in under 30 seconds. The price you see is the price you pay.
Real-time GPS tracking. Every Giant Van vehicle transmits its location to our app. You can share the tracking link with a landlord, estate agent, or family member who needs to know when the van will arrive. No more "the van is 10 minutes away" phone calls.
App booking. Book, amend, track, and pay through the Giant Van app on iOS and Android. You never need to speak to anyone unless you want to.
Fully insured crew. Every move is handled by experienced, vetted crews. Fixed hourly rates with no surprises. Our rates are transparent: man and van from £48, house removals from £250, office moves from £300, furniture delivery from £48. The quote you receive at booking is what you pay at the end.
If the job finishes early, you pay for the time used only.
We are local. We know that the Horfield Leisure Centre car park on Doone Road is often full on Saturday mornings. We know that Muller Road is slower than Google Maps suggests at 8am. Local knowledge means faster, cheaper moves for you.

Giant Van vs Other Man and Van Options in Horfield

You often get a low headline price, but the driver may not be insured to carry your goods commercially, there is no GPS tracking, and if they cancel on the day there is no backup van.
Their minimum booking values typically start at £500 and they require an in-home survey for most jobs. Giant Van offers the same professional crew and insurance without the waiting time or high minimum spend.
The difference with Giant Van is technology. Our real-time GPS tracking, instant app booking, and digital payment mean less time on the phone and more certainty on move day. Our same-day availability also covers situations where other local firms are already booked.

Once your booking is confirmed, you receive a tracking link by email and SMS. On move day, this link shows your driver's live location on a map. You can share the link with anyone who needs to know the arrival time, such as an estate agent or property manager.

What is the best time to book a man and van in Horfield?
Mid-week mornings (Tuesday to Thursday, 7am to 11am) are the least busy and often the most cost-effective times for a man and van in Horfield.
