Man with Van Kenton Newcastle

When moving in Newcastle, kenton has a mix of property types and road layouts that affect how a move runs on the day.

Knowing the area saves time and avoids surprises.

Kenton Lane itself is wide enough for a large Luton van to park on the road, but several of the side streets feeding off it are narrower.

Streets such as Thornbury Close and the cul-de-sacs around Kenton Gardens can be tight for a 7.5-tonne vehicle.

Our standard Luton van fits most of them, but if you live on a particularly narrow street, mention it when you book and we will send the right-sized vehicle.

Kenton Bar Metro station sits just off the A191 at the southern edge of the area.

Loading on the A191 itself is restricted during peak hours. Wherever possible, our drivers approach from Kenton Road or Hillsview Avenue to avoid congestion.

Older terraced properties on Nuns Moor Road often have no driveway.

Street parking bays are usually available but can fill up in the mornings. For removals from these properties, we recommend booking for 8am before bay occupancy rises.

Many flats in the NE3 area have no lift.

Our crew handles stair carries as standard. Every charge, including access, distance and clean-air zones, is shown in your quote before you pay. Above the second floor, or where particularly heavy items are involved such as a piano or a large wardrobe, we may adjust the quote slightly.

We always confirm this before you confirm the booking.

Parking permits are required on some Kenton streets.

We hold temporary loading exemptions, but for street-permit zones such as parts of Cowgate Road adjacent to Kenton, please let us know in advance so we can arrange the correct cover.

Giant Van covers all of Newcastle and the surrounding North East area.

From our Kenton base, we serve customers across a wide radius.

Within Kenton itself, we cover all streets in the NE3 and NE5 postcodes.

This includes Kenton Lane, Hillsview Avenue, Wansbeck Road, Nuns Moor Road, Cowgate Road, Kenton Gardens, Thornbury Close and the estates around Kenton Bar Metro station.

Neighbouring areas we serve regularly include Fawdon to the north, Gosforth to the east, Fenham to the south and Denton Burn to the south-west.

Each of these areas has its own parking and access character and our drivers know them all.

We handle moves across central Newcastle, including Jesmond, Heaton, Byker, Shieldfield and the City Centre postcodes NE1 and NE2.

We also cover Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham and the wider Tyne and Wear conurbation.

For moves further afield, our long-distance service from Kenton covers destinations including Leeds, Manchester, London and Edinburgh.

These jobs are priced from £500 and include a full route plan, no fuel surcharges and the same GPS tracking you get on local bookings.

If you are moving within the North East but outside Newcastle, we cover Cramlington, Blyth, Morpeth, Hexham, Chester-le-Street and Darlington.

Ask for a quote on any destination when you book.

Students moving to or from Newcastle University, Northumbria University or Newcastle College can book our student move service, which runs throughout August and September with specific pricing for halls of residence routes from Kenton to campus areas.
