Properties We Cover in Hockley Nottingham
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Local and Long-Distance From Hockley
Hockley is one of Nottingham's most characterful quarters.
The area sits just east of the city centre, running from the top of Fletcher Gate up through the narrow lanes around Pelham Street and Goosegate.
It is home to independent shops, vintage boutiques, galleries, and a growing number of shared creative workspaces.
That mix of uses means our team handles a wide variety of moves here, from students clearing out a rented room above a coffee shop to small businesses relocating their stock and furniture to bigger premises.
Our man with van service in Hockley starts from £48 for small, local jobs.
Most single-room or single-item moves in this part of NG1 cost between £45 and £120, depending on the size of the load and how long access takes.
We provide a trained driver and a van, we load and unload for you, and we handle the vehicle parking.
You do not need to lift anything or arrange a permit yourself.
We carry public liability insurance as standard and all our vans are fully insured for hire and reward.
If you need two crew members for heavier items such as wardrobes, sofas, or multi-drawer filing cabinets, we can arrange that at the time of booking.
Prices are fixed once you confirm your quote.
There are no hidden charges on the day.
Same-day availability is one of our most popular features in Hockley.
Many customers contact us in the morning and we are there by the afternoon.

How We Handle Hockley Logistics
Serving Nottingham, hockley is a compact neighbourhood with tight streets and restrictions that catch out those who are not familiar with the area.
Before we arrive, our team checks the specific conditions for your address so there are no surprises on the day.
Stoney Street and Carlton Street both have loading bays with time restrictions.
These are typically limited to 20 or 30 minutes and enforced from early morning until early evening. We factor this into our arrival window and move quickly to avoid penalty charge notices.
Goosegate is partly pedestrianised toward its lower end, which means we stage the van on Beck Street or Broad Street and carry items by hand for the final stretch.
This is standard practice for our team and does not cost extra.
The Lace Market sits adjacent to Hockley and shares similar access conditions.
Properties on High Pavement and Pilcher Gate often have no direct van access at all. In those cases we use the car park on Weekday Cross as a staging point. We carry all equipment needed for short carries, including sack barrows, furniture sliders, and moving blankets.
Hockley's Victorian and Edwardian buildings often have narrow staircases, low ceilings on first and second floors, and small doorways.
We always ask about your staircase width and door clearance when you book. If you have a particularly large item such as a corner sofa or a double wardrobe, tell us at the quote stage.
We can advise whether disassembly will be needed and whether we bring the right tools.
Parking on Barker Gate, Woolpack Lane, and Bellar Gate is available for short stays.
We identify the best option for your specific address before arriving.

Giant Van operations
Reliable Moves in Hockley, Every Time
There are several man and van operators in Nottingham. Here is why customers in Hockley choose Giant Van over the alternatives.
We are fully insured. Not all man and van operators carry proper hire and reward insurance or goods in transit cover. We do, on every job. If something is damaged in transit, you are protected. Ask any operator you are considering to confirm their insurance in writing before you book.
We offer same-day bookings. Many removal companies require at least 48 to 72 hours' notice. We take same-day calls until 10am for afternoon slots and until noon for early evening slots, subject to van availability. Call on the morning you need us.
Our prices are fixed and given upfront. We quote a fixed price based on the information you provide. The price does not change on the day unless you add significant extra items that were not on the original brief.
Stairs are priced upfront based on what you tell us, so the crew can turn up and get on with the job.
You can track your driver in real time. Our GPS tracking app means you know exactly where your driver is at all times. You get push notifications at key stages: when your driver is assigned, when they are 30 minutes away, and when they have arrived.
We have local knowledge. Our drivers know Hockley's one-way systems, the loading bay on Carlton Street, and the best access routes to properties on Goosegate and Barker Gate. Local knowledge saves time and reduces stress on the day of your move.
We handle a wide range of jobs. We handle a single-item delivery from a Hockley vintage shop to your home across the city, or a full flat clearance from a three-storey terrace on Stoney Street, we have the right vehicle and crew for the job.
