Move Service

A typical three-bedroom house in the UK requires between 60 and 80 standard moving boxes.

The breakdown runs roughly as follows: kitchen 20 boxes, living room 15 boxes, main bedroom 12 boxes, second bedroom 10 boxes, third bedroom 8 boxes, bathroom and miscellaneous 10 to 15 boxes.

Order 10 per cent more than you think you need — the last few rooms always produce more boxes than expected.

Giant Van's crews pack to a professional standard: fragile items wrapped in packing paper, double-boxed where needed, and clearly labelled on the side panel.

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.
