Eccles: When Most People Move
Full Packing Service vs. DIY Packing in Eccles
Eccles sits on the western edge of Salford, with fast links into Manchester via the Metrolink and the A57.
That makes it a popular base for commuters who want a quieter neighbourhood within easy reach of the city.
Demand for removals in Beccles and the wider Eccles area has grown steadily as more families relocate here for the schools and green spaces around Eccles Recreation Ground and Patricroft.
Giant Van has been serving this corridor for years, building local knowledge that saves time and avoids the pitfalls that can catch out less experienced removal firms.
From narrow ginnels in older streets to the estate roads on the Barton Moss development, our drivers know Eccles inside out.
Eccles town centre itself is undergoing steady regeneration, with new apartment blocks and commercial units appearing along Church Street and Regent Street.
This brings a regular flow of people requiring house removals in Manchester city centre or moves within the borough.
Giant Van keeps a dedicated vehicle based in the Salford area so our response time for quotes and surveys in Eccles remains fast.
We understand that moving is one of the most stressful events in a person's life, which is why our packing service exists: to remove the physical labour and organisational burden from your shoulders entirely.

Start a live chat to confirm coverage for your specific postcode and we will advise on the closest available team and estimated arrival times.
How much does a packing service in Eccles cost?
Packing costs depend on the size of the property, the number of fragile items, and if you choose a full or partial pack. A typical three-bedroom house in Eccles with a full pack runs between £300 and £550 on top of the removal fee, including all materials.
We provide itemised quotes so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Partial packing, where we handle only fragile or specialist items, starts from around £120 for most properties.
How far in advance should I book house removals in Eccles?
We recommend booking at least two weeks in advance for weekday moves and three to four weeks for Saturdays during busy periods such as summer and end-of-month dates. That said, we do keep capacity for short-notice bookings, and same-week availability is sometimes possible on weekdays.
Contact us as soon as your move date is confirmed and we will let you know availability immediately. Holding a provisional date costs nothing and can be converted to a firm booking once your solicitor confirms completion.
Can Giant Van handle house removals in Manchester city centre with parking restrictions?
Yes. Our team is experienced with Manchester city centre parking permits, loading bay restrictions, and high-rise building access. We liaise with your building management team in advance to book lift reservations and confirm loading bay times. Where council permits are required to suspend a yellow line, we handle the application on your behalf.
This service is included in our city centre removal price and not charged as an extra.
What happens if something is damaged during the move?
Giant Van carries comprehensive goods-in-transit insurance covering your belongings from the moment our team begins packing to the moment the last item is placed in your new property. If damage occurs, you report it on the day and we raise a claim immediately. Settlement is typically processed within 14 working days.
Items packed by our team under the full packing service are fully covered. Items packed by the customer are covered for transit damage but not for internal breakage caused by inadequate personal packing.
Do you dismantle and reassemble furniture in Eccles?
Yes. Bed frames, wardrobes, dining tables, and flat-pack units are all dismantled before loading and reassembled at the new property as standard. Our crews carry a full tool kit including electric screwdrivers, Allen keys, and furniture clamps. We take photos of any complex assemblies before taking them apart so reassembly is accurate.
There is no additional charge for dismantling and reassembly when it is part of a full removal booking with Giant Van.
Can I get a same-day quote for a small move in Eccles?
Yes. For one-bedroom flats or small loads in Eccles, we can usually provide a fixed price within one hour of your enquiry during business hours. Send us a brief list of the main items, your current and new address, and your preferred move date. We will respond with a no-obligation quote by phone or email.
Small moves in Eccles are often completed within half a day, keeping the cost well below what you might expect from a larger removal company.
What areas near Eccles do you cover?
Giant Van covers all of Greater Manchester and Salford, including Eccles, Patricroft, Monton, Boothstown, Walkden, Swinton, and Salford Quays. We also regularly carry out removals between Eccles and Manchester city centre, Stretford, Sale, Altrincham, and Stockport. Long-distance moves from Eccles to other UK cities are also available.
