Office and Home Moving in Glasgow G32

Commercial premises in Shettleston range from ground-floor retail units on Shettleston Road to small industrial units off Carntyne Road and Westmuir Street.

These moves carry specific access challenges that a generic removal company often gets wrong.

Shettleston Road is a busy A-road with bus lanes and double yellow lines along most of the central stretch.

Loading a van at a shop or office unit here during peak hours risks a PCN or, worse, blocking a bus route. Giant Van drivers know to arrive before 8 am or plan for a midday window between the morning and afternoon bus peaks. We also scout narrow side streets like Onslow Drive and Annick Street before booking large Luton vans down them.

For office moves, we supply full disassembly and reassembly of desk systems, secure transit boxes for paperwork and IT equipment, and a two-person crew as standard for anything beyond a single room.

We can work out of hours to avoid disrupting your trading day. An office relocation from a first-floor unit above a Shettleston Road shop to a new premises can be completed overnight, with your team walking in the next morning to a fully set-up space.

Pricing for commercial moves starts at the man and van rate of £45 per hour for small jobs and scales by van size and crew count for larger operations.

We provide written quotes with no hidden charges.

Shettleston Road is controlled parking for most of its length through G32 7.

Double yellow lines run continuously on the A89 between the Parkhead Cross junction and Shettleston station. Side streets off the main road such as Onslow Drive, Annick Street, and Pettigrew Street have permit zones that restrict van parking during weekday mornings and afternoons.

For moves involving properties on or near Shettleston Road, Giant Van recommends one of three approaches.

First, book an early morning arrival before 8 am when enforcement is light and traffic is low. Second, apply to Glasgow City Council Roads and Transportation for a temporary parking suspension, which costs around £60 and gives you a guaranteed loading space outside your address. Third, use the side streets to the south of Shettleston Road, such as Sandyhills Road or Ardenlea Street, where a van can park without a suspension for short periods.

The railway bridge on Wellshot Road has a height restriction of 4.1 metres.

Standard Luton box vans clear this easily. High-roof Lutons do not. Our route planning accounts for this and reroutes larger vans via Tollcross Road and the A74 to avoid it.

Tollcross Park on the western edge of Shettleston acts as a useful staging point for large moves.

We can hold the loaded van in the car park off Tollcross Road while carrying items through the flat, reducing time on a busy street.
