Removals in Giffnock
Bungalow, semi and villa moves around Fenwick Road, Eastwoodmains Road and Rouken Glen.
Giffnock is a suburb of driveways, hedges and well-kept 1930s houses, strung along Fenwick Road between Eastwood Toll and Rouken Glen Park. The streets off it, Braidholm Road, Whitton Drive, Orchard Park Avenue and the roads around Giffnock station, are lined with bungalows, semis and larger detached villas, with a few blocks of newer flats near the station and along Fenwick Road itself.
Removals in Giffnock are usually about volume rather than access. The driveways mean the van sits at the front door, but the houses have been lived in for a long time and the lofts, garages and garden sheds hold decades of belongings. Bungalows with converted attics have steep, narrow stairs that catch out anyone who assumes a single-storey house is a quick job.
As movers in Giffnock we come down the M77 to Junction 3 and along Nitshill Road, or straight down Fenwick Road from Shawlands, in around 20 minutes from the city centre. If you want a Giffnock removal company that will size the van properly for a full family house, phone Peter and describe what you have.
Moving in Giffnock: what we know
Fenwick Road and Eastwood Toll
Fenwick Road is the A77 through Giffnock and it is busy from early morning, with bus stops, a bus lane on the run into Eastwood Toll and no stopping outside the shops. Houses fronting Fenwick Road usually have a driveway or a side road we can use, and the roundabout at Eastwood Toll is best avoided at school run time. The larger Victorian and Edwardian villas around the Toll, on Eastwoodmains Road and Ravenscliffe Drive, have gravel drives and room for a big van.
Bungalows and 1930s semis
Giffnock's signature housing is the inter-war bungalow and semi: Orchard Park, Braidholm Road, Merrylee Road and the streets around Giffnock station are full of them. Many bungalows have had the attic converted, with a tight straight stair or a spiral that rules out carrying beds up in one piece. The garages are often too narrow for a modern car and so are used for storage, which adds to the load. We walk every room, including the loft, before quoting a bungalow.
Rouken Glen and the Whitecraigs side
South of Rouken Glen Park the roads towards Whitecraigs and Ayr Road are quieter and the houses larger, with detached villas on Rouken Glen Road and Davieland Road. Parking is not an issue on these streets, but some driveways have tight gateposts or a slope down to the house, so we check the approach before reversing a loaded van. Giffnock station and Whitecraigs station are the landmarks the crew uses to find their way.
