Shettleston Move Logistics Explained
Transparent pricing is at the heart of what Giant Van does.
We believe you should know your costs before the van arrives, not after. Here is a clear breakdown of what Shettleston customers pay.
Man and Van service starts from £54 per hour.
This covers one driver and a transit-size van. It suits small collections, single rooms, or office equipment moves around Glasgow. A typical Shettleston flat clearance takes two to three hours.
One-bedroom moves cost between £250 and £400.
This flat-rate price covers loading, transport, and unloading. It works well for moves within Glasgow, including Shettleston to the city centre, Shettleston to the south side, or cross-city relocations.
Two-bedroom moves are priced from £400 to £650.
These jobs usually involve a larger Luton van and two crew members. We factor in stair carries, furniture dismantling, and any access challenges your property presents.
Three-bedroom moves run from £650 to £900.
This covers a full home removal with packing support available on request. Our fleet includes long-wheelbase vans and Luton box vans with tail lifts for heavier items like washing machines and sofas.
All quotes are fixed.

Here Is What You Pay for in Shettleston
Shettleston is one of Glasgow's most established east end communities.
It has a tight-knit feel, a strong local high street along Shettleston Road, and good transport links via the Scotrail line at Shettleston station.
House prices here remain competitive compared to the west end, which makes it a popular choice for first-time buyers and young families.
The most common moves we handle in Shettleston involve properties in the G32 postcode.
Tenement flats and ex-local-authority homes are the dominant housing stock.
Many of these buildings have communal closes and tight stairwells, which requires care during loading and unloading.
Our crews are trained to protect your walls, banisters, and floors throughout the process.
Popular destinations for people moving out of Shettleston include Sandyhills, Tollcross, Mount Vernon, Baillieston, and Parkhead.
We also handle long-distance removals from Shettleston to Edinburgh, Stirling, and beyond.
For longer hauls, we provide itemised quotes based on volume and distance.

The area has seen investment in recent years, with improved amenities near Tollcross Park and the Glasgow East Regeneration Area.

Shettleston Removals: Local and Regional
Not every move requires a full removal service.
Giant Van is equally well suited to smaller jobs that still need a professional van and a reliable driver.
Students moving out of shared flats in the G32 area often need a single-room clearance.
One van, one man, two hours, and the job is done. Our hourly rate of £45 is among the most competitive in Glasgow for this type of work.
We can collect from Shettleston and deliver to student halls, new private flats, or a family home anywhere across the city.
Single-item deliveries are another common request.
If you have bought a sofa, wardrobe, or chest of drawers from a private seller on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree, we can collect and deliver it on the same day. This saves you renting a van yourself, hiring a separate driver, and taking a day off work to manage the logistics.
Business customers in Shettleston also use our man and van service regularly.
Small deliveries to trade customers, equipment transport between sites, and office clearances are all within our scope. We provide proof of delivery and can issue a receipt or invoice for your records.
Book online or call.
We will confirm your slot and send a driver confirmation to your phone.
A Note From Our Shettleston Team
We know Shettleston well. Our drivers navigate the local streets daily, handling everything from narrow terraced house access to large detached properties. Every move is treated with care because our reputation in Shettleston depends on it.
