Local Property Guide
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Your Storage Options Explained
Home storage during a move covers three common scenarios: a completion date gap between selling and buying, a renovation that means your new property is not immediately habitable, or a downsizing where some items need to be kept but will not fit the new space.
Giant Van's home storage service handles all three.
You can store for as little as one week or as long as six months.
Items go into clean, dry, insured container units.
Your belongings are inventoried on collection so you know exactly what is in storage.
Access during storage is by appointment at most facilities.
Home storage pricing is quoted per week based on volume — a rough guide is £20-£35 per week for the contents of a two-bedroom flat.

Getting the Details Right for Storage
Children's toys storage during a move is a common requirement, particularly for families with young children who need their rooms to remain functional right up to moving day.
The practical approach is to pack non-essential toys into clearly labelled boxes 2-3 weeks before the move, leaving only the most-used items accessible.
These go into storage with the rest of the household goods and are among the first items identified for quick retrieval at the new property.
For soft toys and items with sentimental value, double-box with a soft material inner layer.
Hard plastic toys and ride-ons need blanket wrapping to prevent scratching during transit and storage.
Outdoor toys — trampolines, garden playhouses — can often be dismantled and stored without specialist treatment; just keep all fixings in a clearly labelled bag taped to the main unit.

Storage: No Hidden Fees
On the day of your move, the Giant Van crew arrives within the agreed time window — typically a 30-minute slot.
The lead mover walks your property first, assessing large items, tight corners, and any flight of stairs.
Furniture wrapping starts in the rooms furthest from the exit.
Beds and wardrobes are dismantled before loading.
The van is packed from back to front, with heavy items on the floor and fragile boxes on top.
At the destination, the crew unloads to the rooms you specify and rebuilds any furniture that was taken apart.
You sign off on completion.
Payment is taken at the end of the job for full removals, or upfront online for man-and-van bookings.
Expect two to six hours depending on property size.

Popular UK Removal Routes
Regions Covered for Storage
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.
A Note From Our Drivers
Our drivers navigate local streets daily, handling everything from narrow terraced house access to large detached properties. Every move is treated with care because our reputation depends on it.

When Is the Best Time to Move?
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
Storage during a move is most useful in the 1-4 week gap that often occurs between a property sale and purchase completion.
Giant Van offers storage with removal as a single booking — collect on your move-out date, store securely at a partner facility, redeliver when your new property is ready.
Flexible storage terms.
Weekly pricing, insured at replacement value.

Garden Storage Cushions — FAQs
What does commercial storage cost for a business?
Commercial storage for a business with Giant Van is priced by container unit per week. A single 20-foot container (sufficient for most small office clearances or archive storage) typically costs £40-£80 per week depending on facility and location. Documents, stock, and equipment are handled with the same care as household goods. All commercial storage includes inventory documentation and insurance.
Message us in the live chat for a commercial storage quote.
How do storage companies compare for household use?
Storage companies range from self-storage brands like Big Yellow and Shurgard (where you handle your own access and loading) to container storage managed by removal companies like Giant Van. The advantage of removal company storage is that the same crew collects, stores, and redelivers — no separate arrangements. Self-storage is cheaper if you can move the items yourself.
Giant Van's managed storage typically costs slightly more than self-storage but includes collection, delivery, inventory, and insurance as part of a single package.
