Fast, Fully Insured Help from Giant Van

Giant Van keeps pricing clear and straightforward.

There are no hidden call-out fees, no surcharges for OL postcodes, and no weekend penalty rates. You receive a fixed quote before the team arrives so you know the total cost upfront.

Our Man and Van service starts at £45 per hour.

This suits smaller Oldham moves: a studio in the town centre, a single room from an Oldham College student let, or a furniture run from a flat near Oldham Mumps. For larger moves with a full pack, we price by property size.

A one-bedroom home in areas like Fitton Hill or Hollinwood runs between £250 and £400 for a full pack and move.

A two-bedroom property on streets such as Lees Road in OL4 or Crompton Way in OL2 costs between £400 and £650. A three-bedroom house, typical in the Shaw and Royton areas of OL2 and OL6, sits between £650 and £900 depending on volume and access.

Access conditions in Oldham affect quotes.

Properties on steep cobbled rows near Werneth or with no off-street parking on streets like Union Street will need extra time budgeted. The app quote asks you to describe access before confirming a price, so there are no surprises on the day.

You do not need to do much before the Giant Van packing team arrives.

That is the point of hiring professionals. But a few simple steps make the job faster and protect your belongings.

First, separate any items you are taking yourself.

Passports, medication, valuables, and anything you need on the first night in the new property should go in a clearly marked bag that travels in your own car. Tell the packing team what is excluded so they do not box it in error.

Second, defrost your fridge and freezer at least 24 hours before the team arrives.

A wet fridge interior cannot be packed. Most tenants in Oldham properties also need to disconnect washing machines, so run a hot cycle and leave the door open overnight to dry the drum. We can disconnect and reconnect appliances, but we need them dry.

Third, think about parking.

On streets like Yorkshire Street, Manchester Road, or the rows around Mumps Bridge in OL1, you may need to request a temporary parking suspension from Oldham Council. We can advise on this, and the council's online form typically processes within 48 hours. If the road is controlled parking, book early and give us the suspension permit number when you confirm.

Finally, be present or have a trusted person on site.

We label every box and take a photo inventory, but someone who knows the property should be available to answer questions and confirm locking up when we finish.
