What Are Storage Removals?
Storage removals combine two services that people often have to book separately: a removal company and a storage facility. With a combined service, one team handles the entire process. They arrive at your property, pack or collect your items, load the van, transport everything to a secure storage unit, and unload it safely into your allocated space.
When you are ready to retrieve your belongings, the same company sends a van back to the storage site, loads your items, and delivers them to your new address. You do not have to hire separate companies, coordinate two different booking systems, or arrange your own access to a warehouse.
This matters because the gap between a property sale completing and a new one becoming available is one of the most stressful periods in a house move. Storage removals bridge that gap. Whether the gap is three days or three months, the service scales to fit.
Giant Van offers storage removals across London and the wider UK. The process is straightforward: one quote, one team, one point of contact. Your items are held in a clean, dry, alarmed facility and returned to you in the same condition they left in.
Storage Removals Pricing: What to Expect
Pricing for storage removals depends on three things: the volume of items being stored, the duration of storage, and the distance involved in collection and delivery.
Giant Van provides fixed quotes so you know the full cost before any work begins.
As a general guide, a standard one-bedroom flat worth of belongings stored for four weeks in London typically costs between £150 and £300 for the collection and delivery element, plus a weekly or monthly storage fee.
A three-bedroom house will naturally cost more, both for the larger van required and the greater storage capacity needed.
Storage fees are usually charged per cubic foot or per container unit per week.
Weekly rates at reputable facilities in the UK range from around £25 to £80 depending on unit size and location. Giant Van sources storage from vetted facilities and passes those rates directly to customers without a heavy mark-up.
There are no hidden charges.
The quote you receive covers the collection visit, the transport, the unloading at the storage site, and the return delivery when you request it. Any packing materials, if you need them, are quoted separately and upfront.
To get an accurate figure for your specific situation, call Giant Van on and describe what you need.
Most quotes can be provided within 24 hours.

7 Tips
When items are stacked in a storage unit, labels on the top are often hidden. Side labels let you find what you need without moving other boxes.
Flat-packed items take up less space in the storage unit, which reduces your weekly costs. Wardrobes, bed frames, and shelving units should have their bolts and fittings kept in a labelled bag taped to the item itself.
Moisture trapped inside a box or wrapped around a mattress can cause mould within weeks, even in a dry facility. Let soft furnishings air for at least 24 hours before collection.
List what is in each box and photograph any high-value items before they are packed. This gives you a clear record and makes the unpacking stage at your new home much quicker.
Flat glass items should be stored vertically, not lying flat, to prevent cracking under load.
Put those in boxes last so they sit at the front of the storage unit and come out first on collection day.

Storage Removals in the UK: What You Need to Know
The UK property market creates a consistent demand for storage removals.
Chains break, completions are delayed, and rental agreements rarely align neatly with purchase timelines. According to the HomeOwners Alliance, around one in three property transactions in England and Wales involves some form of chain, which increases the risk of timing mismatches between moving out and moving in.
In London, the average time between exchange and completion is often four to six weeks, but delays beyond this are common.
Many sellers need to vacate before their buyer is ready to take possession, and many buyers need more time to prepare their new home before moving in. Storage removals fill both gaps.
Self-storage use in the UK has grown steadily over the past decade.
The Self Storage Association UK reported in its most recent annual survey that the country has approximately 1,900 self-storage facilities, with an average occupancy rate of around 84 percent. This reflects a genuine need, not a niche one.
For anyone renting, storage removals are equally useful.
Tenancy end dates and new tenancy start dates rarely match. A week or two in storage is far cheaper than paying rent on two properties simultaneously or sleeping on a friend's sofa while your belongings sit in boxes.
Giant Van operates across London and the wider UK.

Why Choose Giant Van for Your Storage Removals
The practical reason most customers come back to Giant Van is the single point of contact. When you use two separate companies for removals and storage, any problem that arises in the handover between them becomes your problem to resolve. With Giant Van handling both, there is one team accountable for the whole job.
The crew are trained and experienced in handling furniture, appliances, and fragile items safely. They use furniture blankets, strapping, and proper loading techniques to prevent damage in transit. Items are not simply loaded and hoped for the best.
Storage facilities used by Giant Van are dry, alarmed, and checked regularly. You are not renting a damp lock-up in an unmanned yard. Your belongings are held in a clean environment with proper security.
Pricing is transparent. The quote you receive is the price you pay, subject only to genuine changes in scope that you agree to in advance.
Flexibility matters to Giant Van. If your completion date shifts, the storage period can be extended. If you need to retrieve a specific item mid-storage, access can usually be arranged. The service is built around the reality that house moves rarely go exactly to plan.

Alternatives to a Combined Storage Removals Service
5 Tips
This is cheaper on paper, but the labour is entirely yours. It also requires you to have a driving licence and the physical capacity to carry heavy items.
If anything goes wrong during the handover, neither company is responsible for the other's part of the job.
A container is delivered to your address, you fill it yourself, and it is collected and taken to a depot. The cost can be competitive for long-term storage, but the loading is your responsibility and the turnaround for delivery is often several days rather than same-day or next-day.
You pay slightly more than the DIY route, but you get professional handling, accountability, and a service that can be booked with a single call to .

Move, Store and Collect with Giant Van — FAQs
How much do storage removals cost in the UK?
Costs depend on the volume of items, the duration of storage, and the distances involved in collection and delivery. A one-bedroom flat stored for four weeks in London typically costs between £150 and £300 for the move element, plus a weekly storage fee. Giant Van provides fixed written quotes so you know the full cost before booking. Call for a personalised figure.
How long can I keep my belongings in storage?
There is no fixed maximum. Storage periods range from a few days to several months or longer. Giant Van offers flexible arrangements, and the storage period can be extended if your moving timeline changes. Extensions are confirmed in writing and priced transparently. Most customers use storage for between two weeks and three months while their property purchase or rental transition completes.
What items cannot be stored in a removal storage unit?
Hazardous materials cannot be stored, including flammable liquids, gas canisters, corrosive chemicals, and firearms. Perishable food, plants, and live animals are also excluded. Most household furniture, appliances, clothing, boxes, and electronics can be stored without issue. If you are unsure about a specific item, call before booking and the team will confirm whether it can be accepted.
Can I access my belongings while they are in storage?
Yes, in most cases. Access to your storage unit can usually be arranged during the facility's business hours. You will need to give Giant Van advance notice so the unit can be made accessible. Access is not always immediate and may require a short lead time, so plan ahead if you know you will need to retrieve a specific item during the storage period.
Do I need to be present on collection and delivery day?
Someone over the age of 18 must be present at the collection address to let the team in and sign off the inventory at the end of the collection. On delivery day, someone must be at the new address to direct the crew and sign for the delivery. If you cannot be present personally, a trusted adult representative is acceptable provided you have confirmed this with Giant Van in advance.
Is my furniture insured while in storage?
Giant Van carries goods in transit insurance covering items during collection and delivery. Storage facilities carry their own insurance for items held on site. You should check if your home contents insurance policy extends to items held in storage, as many UK policies include this as a standard feature. Confirm the level of cover with Giant Van when you receive your written quote.
How much notice do I need to give to get my belongings back?
Giant Van typically asks for at least 48 to 72 hours' notice to schedule a return delivery. During busy periods, particularly at the end of the month when many tenancies and completions fall, the lead time may be slightly longer. It is sensible to book your return delivery as soon as your new completion date is confirmed, rather than waiting until the last moment to call.
Does Giant Van offer packing as part of the storage removals service?
Yes. Packing can be added to any storage removals booking. The team supplies boxes, tissue paper, bubble wrap, and tape, and packs your items on the day before collection. This is particularly useful for fragile items and kitchens. Packing is priced separately and confirmed in your written quote. Call to include packing in your booking from the start.
