We operate across the M14 and M16 postcodes daily.
That includes Princess Road, Claremont Road, Great Western Street, and the residential streets running south toward Fallowfield.

Moving Logistics Across Moss Side
Available in Manchester, moss Side has specific access conditions that affect removals planning.
Our drivers know the area well and account for these before arrival.
Princess Road (A5103) is the main artery through Moss Side.
It runs north to south and carries heavy traffic, particularly during morning and evening rush hours between 7:30am and 9:00am and again from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. We schedule moves on this corridor outside those windows where possible.
The residential streets off Claremont Road and Great Western Street are typically narrow, with cars parked on both sides.
Our standard man and van vehicles are panel vans, which fit comfortably. For larger luton vans on bigger moves, we check access in advance. Streets like Minnie Street, Boyd Street, and Quinney Crescent have tight junctions that require careful manoeuvring.
The Alexandra Park area includes a mix of Victorian terraces and 1960s council blocks.
Ground-floor flats generally load quickly. Upper-floor flats without lifts add time to the job, and we account for this in your quote. If your property has steps to the front door or a flight of stairs inside, tell us when booking so we allocate enough time.
Parking restrictions apply on sections of Princess Road and Claremont Road.
We carry a valid parking waiver for loading and unloading, which covers most scenarios. For controlled parking zones around Moss Side Leisure Centre on Claremont Road West, we advise booking early morning slots to avoid congestion.
Our app lets you flag access issues at the point of booking, so nothing catches the driver off guard on collection day.

Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Full goods-in-transit insurance is included with every Giant Van booking. This covers your items during loading, transit, and unloading. We recommend declaring high-value items when booking so coverage is confirmed in advance at the correct level.

Can you move a piano from a Moss Side property?
Yes. Piano removal from Moss Side is available from £150. We carry out an access check at both the collection and delivery addresses before confirming the booking. This is because narrow streets and tight stairwells in Moss Side terraces sometimes require specialist equipment or extra crew.
