What to Look for in a Removal Storage Expert
Choosing a removal storage expert requires looking beyond the price per week.
The key factors are access frequency (can you retrieve individual items when needed?), climate control (important for wooden furniture, electronics, and artwork), security (CCTV, alarmed units, access control), and insurance coverage.
Some storage facilities charge minimum rental periods of four weeks; others offer weekly flexibility.
Container storage is cheaper than self-storage but requires a crane or specialist vehicle for access.
Furniture that goes into a container is typically inaccessible until the whole unit is unloaded.
Giant Van can advise on the most suitable storage option for your circumstances and can transport to and from storage as part of your removal booking.

Giant Van charges a single fixed price that covers the driver, van, fuel, equipment, and goods-in-transit insurance.
There are no surcharges for stairs, no mileage additions once the quote is issued, and no 'fuel supplements' added on moving day.
The quote is based on an assessment of the property, the volume of goods, access conditions, and the distance involved.
Larger jobs requiring two movers or two vans are priced accordingly from the start.
Same-day bookings are available subject to availability and carry a small premium.
Midweek moves tend to be priced lower than weekend or end-of-month dates.
All quotes are confirmed in writing before any deposit is taken.
