Wigan Weekend Removals

Wigan town centre has several access restrictions that affect removals.

The area around Library Street and Market Place operates a pedestrianised zone with access limited to early morning hours. If you are moving from a property on or near Standishgate or King Street West, our driver will coordinate an early arrival before 9am to avoid traffic warden activity.

Wallgate and Darlington Street East carry heavy weekend traffic, particularly on Saturday mornings when Wigan market is active.

The Saturday market around the Grand Arcade and Market Hall draws large footfall. Our routing team plans alternative approaches via Millgate or Caroline Street where loading bays are more accessible.

Scholes, one of Wigan's most densely packed residential neighbourhoods, presents narrow entries and on-street parking congestion.

Many properties on Scholes Road and Owen Street have no off-road access. Our vans carry extension ramps and can load from the road with a safe set-up.

In Wigan's newer estates around Robin Park Road (WN5) and the developments near Lamberhead Road in Pemberton, access is generally straightforward.

Wide roads and driveways make larger removal lorries viable.

Ince-in-Makerfield (WN3) has a mix of older colliery-era terraces and 1970s semi-detached housing.

Some streets near Ince Cross are tight. We send a smaller Luton van rather than a large lorry for these jobs to avoid wing mirror scraping and pavement mounting.

For properties near Wigan Pier on the canal network, we are experienced with the cobbled loading areas and low bridges on Wallgate that restrict vehicle height to 14 feet.

Giant Van covers all Wigan postcodes on Saturdays and Sundays without additional travel charges.

Here is a breakdown of the areas we serve regularly.

WN1 covers central Wigan and includes Wigan town centre, Swinley, and Newtown.

This is our most frequently booked postcode for flat moves and smaller house removals.

WN2 covers Hindley, Abram, Platt Bridge, Aspull, and parts of Westhoughton.

Aspull in particular has seen significant residential development on Scot Lane and Haigh Road, and we complete several moves here each weekend.

WN3 covers Ince-in-Makerfield, Orrell, and parts of Billinge.

Many terraced properties in Ince are popular with first-time buyers and students, making this a frequent origin postcode for weekend moves.

WN4 covers Ashton-in-Makerfield and Bryn.

The retail and residential growth around Golborne Road and Downall Green Road means this is one of our busiest areas for house removal Wigan jobs.

WN5 covers Orrell, Billinge, Pemberton, and Newtown near the DW Stadium.

Robin Park Road and surrounding developments are common booking locations.

WN6 covers Standish, Shevington, and Appley Bridge in the north of the borough.

Standish village and Church Street properties are typically Victorian semis requiring careful loading due to original internal doors and period features.

We also cover Leigh (WN7), Golborne (WA3), and cross-border moves into Bolton, Salford, and Warrington at no extra charge for the travel element.

Our man with a van Wigan service covers all short-distance moves within any of these areas.
