Properties We Cover in Low Fell
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Low Fell Moving Services We Offer
For Newcastle customers, low Fell covers the NE9 postcode and stretches from the top of Old Durham Road in the south to the borders of Deckham and Felling in the north. The neighbourhood is a mix of large Edwardian semis on the Avenues (Abbotsford, Beaconsfield, Cavendish), tighter terraced streets closer to the town centre, and modern builds near Saltwell Park.
Each type of property comes with its own access challenges, and our drivers know every one of them.
The main arterial road, Durham Road (A167), runs straight through Low Fell and connects to the Gateshead town centre and the Tyne Bridge. It looks wide on a map, but on-street parking on the residential side streets off Durham Road is competitive. Streets like Whitehall Road and Joicey Road can be tight when residents are home.
We factor that in before we arrive, not after.
Our man and van service in Low Fell starts at £54 per hour. That covers the van, the driver, and one loader. Most single-room or student flat moves in the area are done in two to three hours.
We do same-day bookings when our schedule allows, and you can track your driver in real time through our app once you've booked. No surprises, no waiting around with no idea where the van is.
Tight Spaces in Low Fell: Our Approach
For moves in Newcastle, low Fell has a strong mix of property sizes.
The large detached and semi-detached houses on the Avenues can have five or six bedrooms and generous gardens. The terraced streets closer to the Gateshead boundary are typically two to three beds. Pricing reflects the size and complexity of the move.
Here is what a typical Low Fell house removal costs with Giant Van:
One-bedroom flat or maisonette: £250 to £400.
This covers the kind of flat you find on or near Sheriff's Highway, where converted Victorian properties are common. Most one-bed moves here take three to four hours with two loaders.
Two-bedroom house: £400 to £650.
Two-bed terraces off Whitehall Road or Joicey Road fall into this bracket. Expect four to five hours depending on floor levels and whether any garden furniture is coming.
Three-bedroom semi or detached: £650 to £900.
The larger semis on Cavendish Road and Abbotsford Avenue sit here. These moves often involve multiple trips to storage or a new property outside the area.
All prices include a fully insured van and trained loaders.
We build stair access into the quote before the crew is booked, so the price does not move on the day. If you want to add packing services to your removal, ask when you book. We bring all materials and will have your home packed and ready the same morning.

Work Out Your Moving CostThings to Do Before Your Low Fell Move
Low Fell does not operate a residents' permit zone across the whole neighbourhood, but parts of NE9 have restricted zones, and the situation changes street by street.
If you are moving from a property with direct access onto Durham Road, our team will confirm the loading window in advance. We have worked on this road dozens of times and know where the yellow lines start and end.
Many have dropped kerbs and enough space for a Luton or Sprinter van to manoeuvre without blocking through traffic. The steeper streets near Saltwell Park add a physical challenge when carrying heavy furniture.
Getting stuck on Lobley Hill Road during school-run traffic adds time and money to your move. We avoid it.

How Low Fell Customers Book Giant Van
- 01
In Newcastle, sometimes a move does not go cleanly from A to B.
Completion delays, gaps between tenancies, or a downsizing where you are not sure what to keep yet: all of these call for short-term storage.
- 02
We work with secure storage facilities that serve the Low Fell and Gateshead area, and we can move your belongings directly into storage on the same day.
- 03
The most common scenario in Low Fell is the chain break.
You sell your Avenues house, your buyer's chain collapses three days before completion, and you need somewhere to put everything while you wait. We have managed this exact situation for customers on Cavendish Road and Beaconsfield Avenue.
- 04
We load everything, take it to a secure unit, and bring it back when you are ready.
- 05
Storage units serving NE9 are typically located on the Gateshead industrial estate corridor and near the Team Valley Trading Estate, roughly two miles from Low Fell.
We collect and deliver directly so you never need to drive a hire van yourself.
- 06
Weekly and monthly rates depend on unit size, but our team will give you a combined removal-plus-storage quote so you know the full cost from the start.
- 07
If you only need to store a few items rather than a full house, ask about our part-load storage option.
We consolidate smaller loads into a secure shared unit, which cuts the cost significantly.

No Corner of Low Fell Left Out
Packing is the part of every removal that takes twice as long as people expect.
Most customers in Low Fell tell us they thought it would take a weekend. It usually takes a week. Our packing service removes that entirely.
We offer full packing, partial packing, and fragile-only packing.
Full packing means we arrive on the morning of your move and pack every room. Partial packing covers specific rooms: the kitchen, which is almost always the most time-consuming, or the study with the bookshelves and electronics.
Fragile-only means we wrap your glassware, artwork, mirrors, and anything else that cannot be thrown in a box.
All packing materials are included in the packing service price.
We do not charge separately for boxes, tissue paper, bubble wrap, or wardrobe cartons. We bring everything.
Our packing service is available across Low Fell and into the wider Newcastle and Gateshead area.
This includes Saltwell, Bensham, Felling, and the NE10 and NE11 postcodes that border Low Fell. We also extend packing services to Hexham (NE46) and the Tyne Valley for customers combining a long-distance move with professional packing.
The practical benefit of using professional packers is speed.
A two-bedroom terraced house on Whitehall Road that would take a family three full days to pack themselves takes our team roughly four hours. You also get the peace of mind that comes with properly packed boxes: fewer breakages, neater stacking in the van, and faster unpacking at the other end.
A Note From Our Low Fell Team
We know Low Fell 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 Low Fell depends on it.
Giant Van operations
Peace of Mind for Every Low Fell Move
When moving in Newcastle, low Fell is a tight-knit community and word spreads fast. Neighbours on the Avenues and the terraced streets off Durham Road recommend removal companies to each other, and Giant Van's name comes up because we do what we say we will.
Same-day booking is available for customers in NE9. If you have a van available today, you can have it. We do not insist on two weeks' notice, and we do not penalise last-minute bookings with inflated rates.
Instant quotes mean you know what you are paying before anything moves. Enter your collection address and destination, tell us how many rooms, and the price appears. No callbacks, no waiting for a surveyor.
Our drivers carry full goods-in-transit insurance and public liability cover on every job. If something breaks during the move, we deal with it. You do not need to argue with an insurance company or fill in forms for a month.
Real-time GPS tracking lets you follow the van on your phone from the moment it sets off. If you are finishing up cleaning and want to know how long you have, you can see exactly where the driver is. That level of visibility is standard with every booking, not an upgrade.
We have been operating in the Low Fell and Gateshead area long enough to know which properties have loading problems and which do not. That local knowledge saves time on the day of the move.

DIY Move vs Giant Van in Low Fell: An Honest Comparison

Giant Van fixed-price removal: £400 to £650, done in a single day, fully insured, with real-time tracking so you know where your belongings are at all times.
