We serve removal companies Preston customers need most: local moves, long-distance hauls, single rooms and full commercial clear-outs alike.
Preston Access Conditions: What Every Removal Company Must Know
Preston has access quirks that catch out removal companies unfamiliar with the city.
Our drivers know every one of them.
The Ringway one-way system that circles the city centre creates problems for large vehicles trying to reach properties near Fishergate, Friargate and Lancaster Road.
We plan routes that avoid unnecessary loops and delays. Properties on Winckley Square, one of Preston's finest Georgian terraces, have limited on-street parking. We carry parking suspension applications and know when to request a bay hold in advance.
Ribbleton Lane and New Hall Lane are among Preston's busier arterial roads.
Moves from streets off these routes, such as those in the Brookfield area (PR1 and PR2), need early morning starts to avoid gridlock during school runs and rush hour. We recommend booking your Preston removal for 7.30am on these routes.
Ingol, to the north-west of the city centre around the PR2 postcode, features many cul-de-sacs and narrow estate roads.
Our smaller vans are ideal for these streets. Fulwood, particularly around Black Bull Lane and Watling Street Road (PR2), has newer housing developments where dropped kerbs and tight driveways are common. Our team checks access before arrival so nothing delays your move.
The Guild Wheel cycle path cuts through several residential areas.
Our drivers are trained to avoid blocking crossing points. We also hold permits for accessing the pedestrianised sections of the city centre when required for commercial moves.

Get your exact price5 Tips to Cut Your Preston Removal Cost Without Sacrificing Service
7 Tips
Follow these five steps and you will keep costs down without compromising quality.
Every box you do not move is money saved. Preston has two household waste recycling centres: one on Tom Benson Way (PR2) and one on Walton Summit (PR5). Drop off unwanted items the week before your move and reduce your van size by one tier.
Monday to Thursday slots are typically 10 to 15 per cent cheaper than Friday or weekend bookings. Student areas around Adelphi Street and North Road fill up on Saturdays in September and January. Avoid these dates if flexibility allows.
Packing starts at £150, but you do not need to pay for every box. Pack clothes, linen and books yourself. Let us handle crockery, artwork and electronics.
App bookings receive instant confirmation and let you modify your slot without a phone call. You can also track your driver in real time from the moment they leave our depot.
If you need a house clearance in Preston alongside your removal, booking both together saves a separate callout fee. We clear, pack and move in a single visit.

Preston Postcodes and Neighbourhoods We Cover Every Day
Giant Van covers all Preston postcodes for removals, man with a van bookings and house clearance.
Our operational area spans PR1 through PR5, with daily runs into neighbouring areas.
In PR1, we cover the city centre, Avenham, Maudland, Frenchwood and the university district around Adelphi Street.
These are high-density residential areas with a mix of Victorian terraces and modern apartments. PR1 moves typically involve tighter access and more stair work, which our team is trained for.
PR2 covers Ashton, Ingol, Ribbleton, Larches and Brookfield.
This is largely post-war residential housing with good vehicle access in most streets. Ingol's cul-de-sac layout suits our smaller van options.
PR3 takes in rural and semi-rural areas north of the city: Longridge, Goosnargh, Broughton and Barton.
We run regular removal routes through these villages. Longridge, around 7 miles north-east of Preston city centre, is a popular destination for families moving out of the urban core.
PR4 covers Lea, Cottam, Clifton and the Fylde fringe, including Kirkham to the south-west.
Cottam in particular has seen significant new-build development, and we handle large numbers of new-build removals in this postcode.
PR5 covers Bamber Bridge, Walton-le-Dale, Lostock Hall and Penwortham.
The A582 and A6 provide strong access routes into these areas from the city centre.
We also cover surrounding Lancashire towns on request, including Chorley, Leyland, Garstang and Clitheroe, as part of longer removal jobs from Preston.

Why Preston Residents Choose Giant Van Over Other Removal Companies

Same-day availability. We carry capacity for same-day moves in Preston most weekdays. If you have a move that needs to happen today, call before midday. Other removal companies in Preston rarely offer this without a premium.
GPS tracking on every vehicle. You always know where your van is. This matters when you are waiting at a new property or coordinating with a solicitor. Real-time tracking removes the uncertainty that makes moving day stressful.
App-based booking and management. Rebook, reschedule or check your move status from your phone. No phone queue, no waiting on hold. Our app handles all of it.
Fully insured as standard. Every move includes goods-in-transit insurance. We do not offer this as a paid upgrade. It is included in every Preston removal booking.

Best Times to Book Removals in Preston and When to Avoid
8 Tips
Here is what we know from running hundreds of moves across the city.
These mid-week morning bookings cost less than Friday or Saturday slots and face lighter traffic on routes into and out of the city.
This is typically when property completions cluster in Preston, following conveyancer payment runs. Demand for removal companies in Preston spikes sharply on these dates. Book at least two weeks ahead if your completion date falls on a month-end Friday.
The University of Central Lancashire intake brings thousands of students seeking moves around the Adelphi Street and North Road areas. If you are not a student, avoid the first two weekends of September entirely.
We do operate on bank holidays, but prices reflect the reduced fleet size.
Availability is highest Monday to Thursday. Fridays fill fast. Weekends are the hardest days to secure a same-day slot.
