Home Removals Salford Quays: Reliable, on-Time, Every Time

Costs depend on the volume of items, distance between properties, number of crew members needed, and any specialist services like packing or storage. A one-bedroom flat move within Salford typically starts from around £300 to £450 for a half-day service. A three-bedroom house move runs from £550 to £900 depending on access and packing requirements.

Giant Van provides a fixed written quote so the price you see is the price you pay — no surprise charges on the day.

Yes. Giant Van covers all Salford postcode areas including M5, M6, M7, M27, M28, M29, and M50. This includes Salford Quays, Ordsall, Pendleton, Weaste, Eccles, Irlam, Boothstown, and Walkden. We also carry out moves into and out of Salford from anywhere across Greater Manchester and the wider UK.

Local knowledge of road layouts, parking restrictions, and building access requirements in each area means we plan every move in detail before the day.

Yes. We handle parking suspension applications with Salford City Council on your behalf. This is particularly important on terraced streets and near apartment blocks where van access is limited. We recommend booking at least 10 working days in advance to allow council processing time. The cost of the suspension is passed on at cost with no markup.

Our team confirms the suspension has been granted before your moving day to avoid any last-minute issues.

Before the delivery date we ask for door measurements, corridor widths, and lift dimensions if applicable. American-style fridge freezers typically measure 90 cm wide, so access is often the critical factor. Our crew brings specialist appliance trolleys, forearm forklifts for stair navigation, and door-removal tools. We protect all doorframes and flooring before we attempt any movement.

If access is genuinely impossible, we advise you before arrival rather than causing damage on the day.

Yes. All goods transported by Giant Van are covered by comprehensive goods-in-transit insurance for the full replacement value of your items. Our public liability insurance also covers damage to property during the move — such as scuffs to walls or door frames.

We recommend you inform your home contents insurer of your moving date as some policies include removal cover, and combining both policies gives you the broadest protection. Full details of our cover are provided with every written quote.

We offer a full packing service, a partial packing service, and a materials-only option where we deliver boxes and supplies for you to pack yourself. Full packing means our team arrives the day before your move and packs your entire home using professional-grade materials. Partial packing lets you look after personal items while we handle kitchen, fragile, and bulky contents.

All boxes are labelled by room and contents. Packing materials are included in the packing service price.

We recommend booking 2 to 4 weeks ahead for a standard house move, particularly during peak periods in spring and summer when completion dates cluster around school holidays. End-of-month dates fill quickly as many tenancy agreements end on the last day. That said, Giant Van keeps a small number of emergency slots for last-minute completions and chain collapses.

Start a live chat as soon as you have a moving date and we will do our best to accommodate you even at short notice.

Yes. For dressing tables with fixed or hinged mirrors, we secure the mirror in place using foam padding and packing tape across the glass before wrapping the entire piece in moving blankets. For removal, we detach free-standing mirrors and transport them vertically in purpose-built mirror boxes. On arrival we reassemble and position the unit exactly where you want it.

Our dressing table delivery Salford service has a strong track record with antique and high-value pieces where replacement is not an option.
