What Packers and Movers Actually Do
Packers and movers are removal companies that offer a combined packing and moving service rather than just transportation. Instead of spending days wrapping your belongings yourself, a trained crew arrives at your home, supplies all materials, and packs every room methodically before loading the van.
Trained Team
The key difference between a standard removal and a full packing and moving service is labour. With a basic removal, you pack your own boxes and the driver simply loads and transports them. With packers and movers, the crew handles the entire process from the moment they arrive to the moment your last box is placed in your new home.
This matters for several reasons. Professional packers work faster than most households can manage on their own. They also know how to protect fragile items, wrap furniture to prevent scratching, and use space efficiently inside the van. Fewer trips, less damage, and a shorter moving day are the typical results.
Giant Van operates across the UK, covering local moves within cities, regional relocations between towns, and long-distance moves from one end of the country to the other. Every booking includes our full packing and moving package when selected, meaning there are no add-on surprises on moving day. If you want to understand exactly what is included, the next section covers this in detail.
How Much Do Packers and Movers Cost in the UK?
Packing and moving costs in the UK vary based on four main factors: the volume of your belongings, the distance between properties, the number of crew members required, and we handle packing materials supplied.
For a one-bedroom flat moving within the same city, expect to pay between £400 and £700 for a full packing and moving service.
A three-bedroom house moving locally typically costs between £800 and £1,400. Long-distance moves, for example from London to Manchester or Edinburgh, add mileage and often an extra crew member, bringing the total for a three-bedroom house to roughly £1,200 to £2,200.
These figures are general guides.
The most accurate way to get a price is to request a home survey or a detailed video assessment. This allows the removal company to see exactly how many boxes will be needed, whether any items require specialist handling, and how long the job will realistically take.
Giant Van provides free, no-obligation quotes.
We assess your move properly before giving a price, so the number we quote is the number you pay. We also offer a packing materials package if you want to handle some packing yourself but need quality boxes, tape, and wrapping supplied.

8 Tips
Remove anything you no longer want before the packing team gets started. Fewer items means fewer boxes, less time, and a lower cost. Take bags to a charity shop or arrange a separate collection at least a week before your move date.
Walk through your home with sticky notes or coloured tags to mark items that are going to storage, going to a different property, or being collected separately. This prevents confusion on the day.
Pack a personal bag the night before with your phone charger, medications, documents, keys, and a change of clothes. The packing team will box everything they can see, so anything you need immediate access to should be kept with you.
Move cars off the driveway, tidy hallways, and make sure the path from each room to the front door is clear. This lets the crew work quickly without obstacles.
If you live on a street where a large removal van will need to stop, check we handle a parking suspension permit from your local council. Many councils require 48 hours' notice at minimum.
Tell the team on arrival if any item is particularly fragile or sentimental. They are professionals and will adjust their approach accordingly.
Walk through every room, check cupboards under stairs, loft hatches, garden sheds, and the garage before you hand over the keys.

Packers and Movers in the UK: What You Need to Know
The UK removals market has specific characteristics that are worth understanding before you book.
Most UK homes have narrow hallways, staircases, and tight street access.
A good packing and moving company will survey your home before the move to identify any access challenges and plan accordingly. Bay windows, loft beds, and garden furniture through side passages are common issues that require planning.
UK removals typically happen on a Friday.
This is because many property completions happen on a Friday and buyers want to move the same day. The result is that Friday slots are the most in-demand and often the most expensive. If your exchange and completion dates are flexible, a Tuesday or Wednesday move can save you money and often means a more relaxed crew and faster service.
Council parking suspensions are a practical necessity in many UK cities.
If you live on a residential street with limited access, a formal parking suspension prevents other vehicles from blocking the removal van. Local councils charge for this service and require advance notice, typically 48 to 72 hours. Giant Van can advise on this as part of the booking process.
Leasehold properties have additional considerations.
If you live in a flat, check your lease for any restrictions on moving times. Many leases restrict removals to weekday business hours and prohibit Saturday or Sunday moves to protect communal areas and lifts. Failing to check this can cause delays on the day.
Giant Van has worked across all types of UK property, from Victorian terraces to modern apartment blocks, and we plan every job with these local realities in mind.

Alternatives to a Full Packers and Movers Service
7 Tips
Understanding your alternatives helps you choose the most cost-effective option for your situation.
This reduces the cost of your move but requires significant time and effort in the days before moving day. It also means damage claims are harder to make if something breaks, as the company did not pack it.
This suits students, single-room moves, or moving a small number of large items like furniture. It is the lowest cost option but has no packing service and limited capacity.
Giant Van can supply double-walled boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and wardrobe boxes to your door so you can pack at your own pace before the removal crew arrives.
This is cheaper than a full van hire but means less flexibility on dates and times.
Giant Van can advise on storage options that work alongside your move.

Other Services in Packers And Movers: Full Service Removals Across The Uk
Packers and Movers: Full-Service Removals Across the UK — FAQs
What is the difference between packers and movers and a standard removal service?
A standard removal service loads and transports boxes you have already packed yourself. Packers and movers provide the full service: the crew arrives with all materials, packs every room, loads the van, transports your belongings, and unloads at the destination. This saves significant time and reduces the risk of damage caused by improper packing.
How far in advance should I book packers and movers?
Booking four to six weeks in advance is recommended for most UK moves. Friday moves and end-of-month dates book up fastest, especially in busy periods like spring and summer. If your moving date is flexible, booking earlier gives you more choice of date and may offer better availability. Contact Giant Van on to check current availability.
Do I need to supply my own packing materials?
No. When you book a full packing and moving service with Giant Van, all materials are included in your quote. This covers boxes in various sizes, bubble wrap, packing paper, wardrobe boxes with hanging rails, tape, and protective wrapping for furniture. If you prefer to pack some items yourself, we can also supply materials to your door separately.
What happens if something is damaged during the move?
Giant Van carries goods-in-transit insurance covering your belongings during the move. If an item is damaged, report it to the crew on the day and note it on your completion form before signing off. Claims are handled promptly. Items packed by our team are covered under the policy. Items you packed yourself may be treated differently, so it is worth confirming this before your moving day.
Can packers and movers disassemble and reassemble furniture?
Yes, in most cases. Giant Van's crew can disassemble flat-pack furniture, bed frames, wardrobes, and similar items before loading, then reassemble them at your new home. This should be confirmed at the quote stage so the crew arrives prepared with the correct tools. Specialist furniture such as antique pieces or built-in wardrobes may require separate arrangement.
Is a full packing and moving service worth the extra cost?
For most households, yes. The time saved on packing alone can amount to several full days of work. Professional packers also reduce the risk of damage to fragile items and make better use of box space, which can reduce the number of van trips required. If you value your time or are moving a home with a significant number of belongings, the additional cost is generally justified.
Do I need a parking suspension for the removal van?
Possibly. If you live on a street where a large van would obstruct traffic or be unable to park safely, a council parking suspension is advisable. Most UK councils require 48 to 72 hours' notice and charge a fee for this permit. Giant Van can advise you on whether a suspension is needed based on your address and will help you understand the process during the booking stage.
Can Giant Van handle long-distance packing and moving across the UK?
Yes. Giant Van operates across the whole of the UK, covering moves from London to Edinburgh, Bristol to Leeds, and everywhere in between. Long-distance moves are planned with the same level of detail as local jobs, including pre-move surveys, route planning, and crew coordination. Call to discuss your long-distance move and get a fixed quote for the full packing and moving service.
