Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Moves We Handle in Old Swan
Old Swan sits in the heart of east Liverpool, roughly two miles from the city centre. The area carries the L13 postcode and draws a wide mix of renters, homeowners and students. That means removals happen here constantly, from studio flat moves along Prescot Road to larger family house clearances near Stoneycroft.
Giant Van has handled hundreds of moves in Old Swan and knows the area well. We operate a man with van service designed for speed and simplicity. You get one trained mover, a well-maintained van, and all the packing blankets and straps needed to protect your belongings in transit.
Prices for our man and van service start at £45 and run to £300 depending on the size of the move and distance travelled. Same-day moves from Old Swan start at £80. Every quote is fixed before we arrive, so you will never see a surprise charge on the day.
We cover everything from a single item pick-up on Oakfield Road to multi-room moves across L13. Students relocating near Edge Hill University use us regularly. So do residents shifting from Old Swan to areas like Childwall, Wavertree or West Derby. We keep the process short.
You book, we arrive, we move your items safely, and we leave when the job is done.
Our vans are tracked by GPS throughout every job. You can follow progress through the Giant Van app. That level of visibility gives you genuine peace of mind, particularly if you are coordinating a move while at work or managing a handover with a landlord.
Handling Old Swan Access Challenges
For Liverpool residents, old Swan has some specific access conditions worth knowing before your move day.
Prescot Road is the main arterial route through the area and handles high traffic volumes, particularly during morning and evening peaks between 7am and 9am and again between 4pm and 6pm.
Booking your move for mid-morning or early afternoon avoids most of the congestion on that corridor.
Thomas Lane and Broad Lane are narrower residential streets that run off the main road.
Parked cars on both sides can make van access tight. Our drivers are experienced with these conditions and know where to position the vehicle to load efficiently without blocking residents or causing an obstruction.
Old Swan shopping parade near the junction of Prescot Road and Rocky Lane has double yellow lines throughout.
We do not stop on those lines. If your property sits nearby, we will park on an adjacent side street and carry items the short distance on foot.
The area also has a number of older terraced properties with tight hallways and steep staircases.
If you are in one of those, let us know when you book. We will assess whether a second mover is needed and quote accordingly.
Adding an extra pair of hands costs less than you might expect and makes a real difference on tight staircase jobs.
Permit parking zones operate in some residential pockets east of Prescot Road.
You may need to notify your local authority if you want to reserve a loading bay near your property. We can advise on this during the booking process. Our team handles moves from L13 every week and understands exactly what access each street requires.
Man and Van Prices for Old Swan
Our Old Swan man and van prices are fixed from the moment you get a quote. Man and Van service runs from £48 to £300 depending on load size and distance. Same-day moves from L13 start at £80.
House removals from £250, office relocations from £300, furniture delivery from £48, packing from £150, piano moves from £150, and long-distance relocations from £500. Message us in the live chat for your instant fixed quote. There are no call-out charges and no hourly extras on move day.
All prices include a fully insured crew, van, and moving blankets. Packing services available as add-ons.
Work Out Your Moving CostMove-Day Preparation in Old Swan
These five steps will make your Old Swan move run without any hold-ups.
Stack boxes against one wall and keep corridors free. Our movers work fast when there is a clear route from your door to the van. If the hallway is cluttered on arrival, loading takes longer and the cost rises.
Bed frames, flat-pack wardrobes and dining tables are much easier to carry in pieces. Remove legs, store fixings in a labelled bag, and have the pieces ready near the exit. If you need help with disassembly, mention it when booking and we will bring the right tools.
Write the target room on the top and at least one side. Our movers will place boxes in the correct room at the new property without you needing to direct each one. This alone can save 20 to 30 minutes on a medium-sized move.
Park your own car elsewhere on move morning. If you are on a permit zone street near Stoneycroft or Broadgreen, contact Liverpool City Council at least 48 hours ahead to arrange a temporary suspension. A clear space directly outside makes loading at least 30 percent faster.
We accept card and bank transfer. Confirm your time slot via the app the night before your move so our driver can plan the route and arrival. Late confirmations can delay your slot during busy periods.

Giant Van operations
Built for Old Swan Moving Needs
Serving Liverpool, old Swan has no shortage of local van hire options. Here is why customers in L13 keep coming back to Giant Van rather than using a cheaper or less structured alternative.
Fixed pricing from the moment you book. We do not charge by the hour and then extend the clock on move day. Every quote is fixed, so if the job takes longer than expected, that is our problem, not yours. Customers along Prescot Road and Oakfield Road tell us this is the single biggest reason they choose us over competitors.
Same-day availability. We know moves do not always happen on a planned timeline. Tenancy changes, seller completions and last-minute decisions mean people sometimes need a van that day. We keep slots available for same-day bookings and respond to calls within the hour. Same-day moves from Old Swan start at £80.
Full insurance on every job. Some local man-and-van operators work without adequate cover. Every Giant Van move carries goods-in-transit insurance and public liability protection. Your belongings are covered from the moment we start loading.
Real-time GPS tracking. You can watch the van in real time through our app. This is particularly useful if a family member is meeting the van at the destination or if you are managing a key handover through an estate agent.
App booking in under two minutes. You do not need to call anyone or wait for a callback. Open the app, enter your details, get a quote and confirm. Most bookings in Old Swan are confirmed within three minutes of the customer starting the process.
Fully insured movers with professional training. Every person we send to your door has been vetted and trained in safe lifting and load securing techniques.

When Is the Best Time to Move?
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
Spring, Summer, or Autumn in Old Swan
Here is what we see from the bookings we complete in L13 throughout the year.
Slots between 8am and 11am on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday are consistently the smoothest. Traffic on Prescot Road is light after the early rush, parking is easier on residential streets, and our drivers are fresh for the day. You also have the full afternoon to unpack at the other end.
If you can avoid moving on a Friday between noon and 6pm, you will miss the weekend traffic surge and find it easier to secure a parking space at both ends of your move.
Most tenancy agreements in Old Swan begin and end on the first or last day of the month. This creates a surge in demand in the final week of every month. If your move date falls in that window, book at least 10 days ahead to secure your preferred slot.
If you are a student or landlord in this area, early booking is strongly advised.
If your move date is flexible, these months are consistently the least congested on Old Swan's roads.
