Sky Home Move Service

Home moves go wrong when tasks get forgotten.

Six weeks before: get quotes, book a removal date, start decluttering.

Four weeks before: arrange mail redirection (Royal Mail charges £36.99 for 3 months), notify council tax, update your address with banks and DVLA.

Two weeks before: pack non-essentials, defrost the freezer, arrange parking at both addresses.

Moving day: meter readings at both properties, check every room and cupboard, keep valuables and documents with you.

Giant Van supplies a printable checklist to every customer after booking.

National firms often send crews who have never worked a particular street before.

Giant Van drivers are allocated to regions they know.

That means parking strategy on restricted roads, awareness of time-controlled loading bays, knowledge of estate layouts, and understanding of access routes for large vans in older town centres.

Local knowledge reduces delays and prevents the situations where a crew cannot park and the customer loses hours waiting.

Giant Van's driver allocation is region-first, meaning you get someone familiar with the area, not the nearest available driver regardless of location.
