Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Full-Service Solihull Removals
Solihull sits to the south-east of Birmingham city centre, straddling postcodes B90, B91, B92, and B93. It is one of the most sought-after areas in the West Midlands, with popular residential streets in Shirley, Olton, Knowle, and Dorridge drawing steady demand for removals.
Schools, retail parks, and easy access to the M42 make it a magnet for families relocating within the region.
Giant Van has completed hundreds of moves in Solihull. Our drivers know the quieter back roads through Monkspath and the best approach to properties near Touchwood Shopping Centre. We understand the parking restrictions around Tudor Grange Park and plan loading times to avoid the school-run rush on Station Road.
Our service is built around three things Solihull customers consistently ask for: punctuality, care for furniture, and upfront pricing. You will never receive a surprise invoice after your move. Every quote is fixed at the point of booking. Our insured vans carry transit blankets, straps, and floor runners as standard.
From a studio flat in Shirley to a detached family home in Dorridge, we handle every property type with the same level of attention.
Moving Logistics Across Solihull
Serving Birmingham, a man with a van hire in Solihull starts from £54 per hour.
That hourly rate covers the driver, the vehicle, and all basic equipment. Most single-room or student moves in areas like Olton or Acocks Green take between two and three hours from start to finish.
For larger moves we offer fixed-price packages.
A one-bedroom flat in Solihull, such as those in the apartment blocks near Solihull Station on Warwick Road, typically costs between £250 and £400. A two-bedroom house in Knowle or Shirley runs from £400 to £650. A three-bedroom family home in Dorridge or Bentley Heath falls in the £650 to £900 range.
Every booking includes the Giant Van app, so you can track your driver in real time and receive updates on arrival.
Same-day bookings are accepted subject to availability.
We also carry furniture dismantling tools for flatpack beds, wardrobes, and dining sets, which is particularly useful when moving into the narrower Victorian terraces you find on roads like Ulverley Green Road in Olton.
All loads are covered by our goods-in-transit insurance from the moment we load to the moment we unload.
Man With a Van Prices in Solihull and Birmingham
Giant Van offers transparent, fixed pricing across all move types in Solihull and Birmingham. Hourly man and van hire starts at £54 per hour, covering the driver and vehicle with no additional fuel surcharge within the local area.

A one-bedroom home in Solihull, such as a flat in Shirley or Olton, is priced between £250 and £400. A two-bedroom house in Knowle or Dorridge falls between £400 and £650. A three-bedroom family home anywhere in the B90 to B93 postcode range is priced between £650 and £900. All prices include loading, transport, and unloading.

Work Out Your Moving CostHow to Prepare for Moving Day in Solihull
The streets in Solihull town centre are manageable, but the older residential lanes in Knowle village and around St John the Baptist Church can be tight for larger vehicles.
B90 covers Shirley, Dickens Heath, and Monkspath, where new-build estates have become increasingly popular. B91 takes in the Solihull town centre itself, including properties near Malvern Park and the high street. B92 covers Olton and Elmdon, and B93 stretches out to Knowle, Dorridge, and Bentley Heath.
If you are moving from Birmingham to Hull, from Solihull to Leeds, or from B91 to another part of the UK entirely, Giant Van provides a full door-to-door removal service with no hidden costs. Call for a same-day quote on any long-distance move.

What Comes Standard in Solihull
Giant Van operates across the whole of Birmingham, not just Solihull.
If you need a man with a van at short notice in Digbeth, Moseley, Kings Heath, Erdington, or anywhere else in the city, we can often reach you within two hours of booking.
Our fleet is distributed across the city so response times stay low even during busy periods.
Same-day moves in Birmingham city centre require extra coordination.
Pay-and-display restrictions on Broad Street, the loading bay rules around the Bullring, and resident permit zones in Edgbaston all affect where and when a van can park.
Our drivers deal with these situations daily and know how to complete your move without racking up penalty charges that could be passed to you.
For residents in Solihull who are moving into Birmingham, the journey along the A41 or through the Stratford Road corridor in Hall Green is well within our regular operating zone.
We also serve the communities along the M6 Toll corridor, including Sutton Coldfield and Castle Bromwich, giving you full flexibility wherever your move takes you across the West Midlands.

Simple Booking for Solihull Moves
- 01
Not every move in Solihull involves a family home.
Many residents need a man and van for smaller jobs: collecting a sofa from a private seller, shifting boxes between storage units, or moving out of a rented flat at the end of a tenancy. Giant Van handles all of these without minimum-hour restrictions on most bookings.
- 02
Flat moves are particularly common around Solihull town centre and Shirley.
The apartment buildings on Homer Road and the converted flats on Warwick Road are regular pick-up points for our drivers. Lift access and communal corridors tend to be the main consideration.
- 03
We carry trolleys and furniture sliders to protect both your belongings and the building's common areas, which matters when a landlord is waiting to do an end-of-tenancy inspection.
- 04
Student moves between Solihull, Birmingham, and university halls in Edgbaston or Selly Oak are also a regular part of our calendar.
A typical student move, covering one room's worth of belongings, takes under two hours with one driver. The hourly rate of £45 keeps costs low for students working to a tight budget.

When Is the Best Time to Move?
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
Solihull Moving Calendar Tips
Here are the most practical steps for anyone planning a move in Solihull or the wider Birmingham area.
If you live on a residents-only street in Shirley or Olton, contact Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council at least 48 hours before your move to arrange a temporary suspension of the parking bay outside your home. This prevents the driver from having to park 50 metres away and carry items a longer distance.
Bed frames, wardrobes, and large dining tables take up far more van space when assembled. Breaking them down saves both space and time. Our drivers carry basic tools but if you have your own Allen keys and screwdrivers, have them ready.
This speeds up unloading dramatically, especially in larger homes in Dorridge or Knowle where multiple rooms are on different floors. Write the destination room on the top and one side of each box.
Jewellery, passports, laptops, and irreplaceable documents should travel with you in your own vehicle. Our insurance covers furniture and general household goods but not high-value personal items unless declared in advance.
The Giant Van app gives you live GPS tracking of your driver so you can time your arrival at the new property precisely. No standing on the doorstep in the rain waiting for a van that is still loading.
