Altrincham sits in the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, roughly 8 miles south-west of Manchester city centre, and is well connected via the Metrolink tram line, the A56, and the M56 motorway. The town's strong property market means there is consistent demand for professional removals throughout the year.
Popular residential areas include Bowdon, which features large Victorian and Edwardian homes, Hale with its mix of period and new-build properties, and Timperley, which attracts families for its schools and more affordable housing.
Our man with a van team covers every part of this area and regularly moves customers between Altrincham and neighbouring towns including Sale, Stretford, Wythenshawe, and Cheadle.
The Altrincham BID regeneration has also brought new apartment developments to the town centre, creating demand for compact, time-efficient moves.

Altrincham: When Most People Move
Man with a Van vs Van Hire in Altrincham
Altrincham is one of South Manchester's most desirable places to live, with strong demand for property in Bowdon, Hale, and Timperley driving a busy local removals market year-round.
The Altrincham BID area and regenerated town centre have brought new residents to the borough, many relocating from Manchester city centre or further afield.
Giant Van Removals has moved dozens of households into and out of Altrincham, giving us a practical understanding of what local moves involve.
We know the parking restrictions on Lloyd Street, the tricky access on some of the older terrace roads off the A56, and the loading rules that apply near the Altrincham Interchange.
That local knowledge saves you time and avoids the delays that can make an otherwise well-planned move go wrong at the last moment.
Our packing service is designed to complement the removals process, not just add cost.
When our packers work the day before moving day, the van is loaded faster and nothing is forgotten.
Boxes are grouped by destination room, furniture is stripped down ready to move, and nothing gets left on the driveway because someone ran out of boxes.
Customers who use our combined packing and house removals Altrincham service consistently report that their move feels calmer and better organised than previous self-managed moves.
We also offer a partial pack option for customers who want to handle personal items themselves but need help with the bulk of the household.
There is no obligation to take every part of the service.

Man with a Van Altrincham – Professional Packing & Removals — FAQs
How much does a man with a van in Altrincham cost?
Prices depend on the size of the load and the distance involved. A typical one-bedroom flat move within Altrincham WA14 starts from around £150 to £250 for a half-hour minimum. Larger house removals in Altrincham are quoted on a fixed-price basis after a quick survey of your property.
We don't charge by the hour for full house moves — you get a single agreed price with no extras for stairs, parking delays, or additional items we've already seen.
Do you provide packing materials for moves in Altrincham?
Yes, all packing materials are included in our full packing service. This covers double-walled removal boxes in multiple sizes, packing paper, bubble wrap, heavy-duty tape, and wardrobe boxes for hanging garments. We bring everything we need to your Altrincham address — you don't need to source a single box yourself.
If you've already packed some items, we can supply materials for the remainder at cost.
Can you help with a same-day move in Altrincham?
In most cases, yes. We keep same-day capacity for smaller moves and urgent relocations across WA14. Contact us as early as possible — ideally before 10am — and we will confirm availability within the hour.
Same-day moves are subject to crew and van availability, so we recommend booking at least 48 hours ahead when possible, particularly during the busy months of June, July, August, and the end of the school year.
What areas around Altrincham do you cover?
We cover all parts of the WA14 and WA15 postcode areas, including Bowdon, Hale, Timperley, Broadheath, and Sale. Beyond Altrincham, our man with a van service extends across Greater Manchester including Trafford, Stockport, Stretford, and Manchester city centre. We regularly move customers between Altrincham and properties across the North West, so long-distance moves from WA14 are no problem.
Is my furniture insured during the move?
Yes. All goods in our care are covered by goods-in-transit insurance during loading, transport, and unloading. We also carry full public liability insurance. Our furniture is padded with moving blankets and secured with straps inside the van to prevent movement during transit.
If you have particularly high-value antiques or art, let us know at the booking stage so we can arrange appropriate handling and, if required, specialist insurance cover.
How far in advance should I book house removals in Altrincham?
We recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date. End-of-month dates and Fridays fill up several weeks in advance, especially during the spring and summer moving season. If your solicitor is close to confirming completion, start a live chat to provisionally reserve a date — we can hold a slot for 48 hours while paperwork finalises.
For same-day or next-day availability, message us in the live chat rather than booking online.
Can you disassemble and reassemble furniture in Altrincham?
Yes. Flat-pack furniture, bed frames, wardrobe carcasses, and dining table legs are all disassembled as standard on the day of your move and reassembled at your new address. We bring basic tools to every job.
For more complex items such as built-in wardrobes, modular shelving systems, or bespoke furniture, please mention this at the booking stage so we can allocate the right crew and enough time.
Do you offer storage near Altrincham if my new home isn't ready?
Yes. We provide short and long-term storage for Altrincham customers whose completion dates don't align or who need temporary space during renovations. We collect your belongings, wrap and palletise them, and store them in a secure, monitored facility near WA14. Delivery to your new home is arranged when you're ready.
Weekly and monthly rates are available, and there's flexible contract terms for storage under three months.
