Homes We Pack in Quayside
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
What We Move in Quayside
Quayside is one of the most desirable waterfront addresses in Newcastle upon Tyne. It is also one of the hardest places to run a removal. The narrow streets around Sandhill and Akenside Hill were built centuries before removal vans existed. Parking windows along the Quayside itself are short, controlled, and enforced.
Most apartment blocks sit on steep gradients between the river and the city centre above.
Giant Van crews work on the Quayside regularly. We know which buildings on Broad Chare have goods lifts and which rely on stairwells. We know the loading bay schedules outside the apartment developments near Close and Dog Bank. We plan routes that avoid the Tyne Bridge approach bottleneck during rush hour.
Our removals service covers everything from studio flats in the NE1 3DE postcode to larger apartments along Pandon and Queen Street. We bring the right size van for your building access. We carry floor protectors, blanket wraps, and strapping for every job. You get a fixed quote before we arrive, not a surprise bill after.
Quayside moves need local knowledge. Dean Street and The Side are steep one-way routes that catch drivers unfamiliar with the area. Cox Chare and Lombard Street have width restrictions. Our drivers have completed hundreds of moves in these streets. They position vans safely, work quickly within parking time limits, and protect your belongings on every cobbled step.
That local expertise is why Quayside residents keep choosing Giant Van.
On-the-Ground Knowledge in Quayside
Most Quayside homes are modern apartments with open-plan layouts and large windows.
These spaces look brilliant, but they contain fragile items that need proper packing. Glass dining tables, wall-mounted televisions, artwork, and designer furniture all need specialist wrapping before they travel down a narrow corridor or steep stairwell.
Our packing services in Quayside Newcastle cover partial and full packing options.
Partial packing suits residents who want to box their own clothes and books but need professionals for kitchen items, electronics, and fragile pieces. Full packing means our team arrives, wraps everything, labels every box by room, and loads the van. You do nothing except hand over the keys.
We supply all packing materials.
Heavy-duty wardrobe boxes protect suits and dresses without folding. Double-walled boxes handle crockery, glassware, and small appliances. Bubble wrap and foam sheets protect screens and mirrors. We also carry custom crating materials for oversized artwork or antique furniture.
Packing services make particular sense in Quayside apartments where storage is compact.
Many residents in the NE1 3DU and NE1 3BB postcodes live in converted warehouse spaces with mezzanine levels. Getting bulky items down internal staircases takes skill. Our packers assess each item, choose the safest wrapping method, and plan the carry route before lifting anything.
Every box is labelled so unpacking at your new home is quick and organised.
We aim to have your packing completed the same day, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Quayside Newcastle Removals Pricing
Giant Van offers fixed pricing for all Quayside removals. Man and Van hire starts from £54 per hour, ideal for single-item deliveries and small flat moves. One-bed flat removals cost between £250 and £400. Two-bed apartment moves range from £400 to £650. Three-bed property moves cost between £650 and £900.
Every quote includes a crew, van, transit insurance, floor protection, and furniture blankets. Packing services are available from £150 extra. Your stairs and access details shape the quote you see, not a bill that arrives afterwards. Get your instant fixed quote through the Giant Van app or message us in the live chat.
All prices include a fully insured crew, van, and moving blankets. Packing services available as add-ons.
Work Out Your Moving CostWhat to Arrange Before Moving Day in Quayside
A standard pool table weighs between 200 and 500 kilograms. The slate bed alone can weigh 150 kilograms per section. Moving one safely means partial disassembly, slate protection, careful transport, and precise reassembly at the destination.
Our teams carry the specialist tools needed to remove rails, pockets, and felt without damage. We wrap slate sections individually with padded blankets and secure them upright in the van to prevent cracking. Legs and frame components travel separately in protective wrapping.
If your new space is upstairs, we assess the staircase width, ceiling height on turns, and floor load capacity before we start. In Quayside apartments, this assessment is critical. Many buildings have restricted lift dimensions that cannot accommodate slate sections.
If you have bought a table from a private sale in Jesmond, Gosforth, or Gateshead, we collect and deliver on the same day when schedules allow. We also move snooker tables, table tennis tables, and other heavy gaming furniture.

Everything in Your Quayside Moving Quote
Not every move needs a full removals crew.
If you are shifting a few items between Quayside flats, collecting furniture from a shop in the city centre, or clearing out a storage unit at Ouseburn, our Man and Van service is the practical choice.
Starting from just £54 per hour, you get a driver, a clean van, and full insurance.
Man and Van works well for Quayside studio and one-bed flat moves.
A typical one-bed move from Broad Chare to Heaton or Jesmond takes two to three hours.
That keeps costs well below a full removals booking.
Our driver helps load and unload, wraps fragile items in blankets, and secures everything with straps for transit.
You can also use Man and Van for single-item deliveries.
Bought a sofa from a seller in Gateshead? Need a wardrobe collected from IKEA at Gateshead Metrocentre? Our driver handles the pickup, transport, and placement inside your flat.
Stairs are not a problem.
Quayside buildings with no lift access are routine for our teams.
Booking takes under two minutes through the Giant Van app.
Select your pickup and drop-off postcodes, choose your van size, and pick a time slot.
You will see the price before you confirm.
On the day, GPS tracking shows you exactly where your van is.
No waiting around, no guessing.
Same-day Man and Van slots are available across Newcastle seven days a week, including bank holidays.
For moves needing two crew members, upgrade to Man and Van Plus for faster loading.

How We Schedule Quayside Removals
- 01
The Quayside sits at the bottom of a steep river valley.
Every approach road drops sharply from the city centre above. Dean Street, The Side, and Dog Leap Stairs connect the upper town to the waterfront, but none of them are straightforward for a loaded removal van. Understanding these streets is not optional. It is essential.
- 02
Dean Street is the main vehicle route down to the Quayside from near Grey's Monument.
It is steep, narrow in sections, and busy with buses. Our drivers time Quayside arrivals to avoid the worst congestion. The Side runs parallel and connects to Sandhill, where the historic Bessie Surtees House stands. Sandhill itself has restricted vehicle access and time-limited loading bays.
- 03
Parking on the Quayside requires careful planning.
The multi-storey car park on Quayside operates pay-to-park from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Sunday. On-street bays are limited and often suspended for events at the Sage Gateshead or the Sunday Quayside Market. We arrange parking suspensions through Newcastle City Council when needed, giving our crew dedicated kerb space outside your building.
- 04
For residents in the Quayside apartment buildings near Close and Forster Street, rear access routes sometimes offer better van positioning than the main Quayside road.
Our surveyors check access points during the quote stage. We measure doorways, check lift dimensions, and walk the carry route from van to front door. This preparation means fewer surprises on moving day.
- 05
Every Quayside move gets a detailed access plan before the crew arrives.

Where We Operate Near Quayside
Transparent pricing matters.
Giant Van quotes are fixed. The price you see is the price you pay. Tell us how many stairs are involved and that goes straight into your quote, not a later charge. Here is what Quayside residents typically pay for a full removal.
A one-bed flat move from the Quayside costs between £250 and £400.
This covers a two-person crew, a medium van, loading, transport, and unloading at your new address. Most one-bed moves within Newcastle take three to four hours. Moves to destinations outside the city, such as Durham or Sunderland, sit at the higher end of the range.
Two-bed apartment moves range from £400 to £650.
Quayside two-bed flats often contain more furniture than typical two-beds because residents use the waterfront lifestyle as their main living space. We bring a larger van and a one- or two-person crew for these moves. Packing services add approximately £150 to £250 depending on the volume.
Three-bed properties cost between £650 and £900.
Fewer three-bed homes exist on the Quayside itself, but residents moving from nearby areas like Shieldfield or Manors into Quayside apartments fall into this bracket. These moves may need two van loads or a larger vehicle.
Every quote includes full transit insurance, floor and banister protection, furniture blankets, and all loading equipment.
