Express removals in Folkestone across CT19, CT20, and CT21 postcodes, with same-day booking from £45 per hour and full goods-in-transit insurance on every job.
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Express removals are not just fast moves. They are planned, confirmed, and executed on the same day you call. Standard removal companies in Folkestone ask for a week's notice. Giant Van works differently.
We keep vehicles available across the town daily. That means a crew can be at your door in Cheriton, Sandgate Road, or the town centre within hours of your call. We do not make you wait.
Folkestone has some tricky access points. The Old High Street near the Creative Quarter has narrow lanes that put off larger companies. Our drivers know which stretches of CT20 need careful manoeuvring and which require a smaller vehicle to avoid kerb damage.
The harbour area around Folkestone Harbour Station is another challenge. The redevelopment has shifted parking and loading zones. Our team keeps up with access changes so you do not need to brief us on where to park. We have already been there.
Same-day express moves are available for single items, van-load jobs, and full house clearances. There is no minimum size. We handle a sofa collected from Earls Avenue or an entire flat emptied in Cheriton Road, you get the same fast turnaround.
Book before noon and we aim to be with you the same afternoon. Book in the morning for an evening slot. We give you a one-hour arrival window so you can plan your day without sitting around guessing. No vague time slots.
Transparent pricing matters when you are booking at short notice.
Surprise charges wreck budgets and trust. Giant Van publishes its rates upfront, and what we quote is what you pay.
Our man with a van service in Folkestone starts at £45 per hour.
That rate includes the driver, the van, and basic equipment such as blankets and a sack trolley. There are no fuel surcharges for moves within the CT19 to CT21 postcode area.
For house removals, we price by property size rather than by hour wherever possible.
A one-bedroom flat move in Folkestone, such as a ground-floor property off Foord Road or a maisonette near Radnor Park, typically costs between £250 and £400. A two-bedroom house in Cheriton or Sandgate Road runs from £400 to £650. Three-bedroom properties, common in the residential streets around Harvey Grammar School and Norman Road, cost between £650 and £900.
These figures assume a standard move: good access, no more than three flights of stairs, and a destination within 15 miles.
Long-distance moves from Folkestone to London or the Midlands carry an additional mileage charge, which we quote before you confirm.
Express booking does not cost extra.
You pay the same rate if you book a week in advance or call us at 9am for a midday slot. The only variable is availability, and we hold daily capacity specifically for same-day requests. Call and we confirm your price on the call.
All prices below apply to moves within the Folkestone CT postcode area (CT19, CT20, CT21). Prices include driver, vehicle, standard equipment, and goods-in-transit insurance. No fuel surcharges apply to local moves. Man with van Folkestone: from £45 per hour. Minimum one hour. Suitable for single items, small flat clears, and student moves. One-bedroom flat or house: £250 to £400. Covers properties in Cheriton, Foord, and ground-floor flats in CT20. Price varies by floor level and packing requirements. Two-bedroom house: £400 to £650. Covers most residential streets in Sandgate, Hawkinge, and the Radnor Park area. Three-bedroom house: £650 to £900. Covers larger family homes near Norman Road, Harvey Grammar School catchment, and Densole. Express same-day booking: no additional charge. Same rates apply if you book a week ahead or call this morning. Professional packing service: add £75 to £150 depending on property size. Includes double-wall boxes, bubble wrap, and labelling. Long-distance moves from Folkestone: priced by destination. London moves from approximately £450. International moves via Channel Tunnel quoted individually. Storage near Junction 13 M20: from £30 per week. Fully insured. Collection and delivery included in your removal quote. All quotes are fixed prices. We do not charge extra for stairs, disassembly, or fuel within the CT postcode area. Call 020 3129 6180 or use our app for a firm price in under two minutes.
All prices include a fully insured crew, van, and moving blankets. Packing services available as add-ons.
Get your exact priceThat is understandable. On the surface, renting a Transit from a local hire firm looks cheaper than hiring a full removal service.
A day's van rental in Folkestone typically costs between £70 and £110 plus fuel, insurance, and a damage deposit. You drive it yourself. You load it yourself. If you scratch the bodywork reversing down one of the tight terraced streets in CT19 near The Bayle, the damage deposit disappears fast.
A two-bedroom house contains roughly 35 to 50 boxes plus furniture. Loading that without proper equipment adds hours and puts your back at serious risk. Professional removal crews use trolleys, straps, and techniques that protect both your body and your belongings.
For a single-room job, that often works out cheaper than a full-day van hire once you add fuel and insurance. For a full house move, the difference in total cost is smaller than most people expect, and you gain a driver, a loader, and full goods-in-transit insurance.
If your television is damaged in transit, we cover it. Van hire firms cover their vehicle. They do not cover your belongings.
For anything larger than a few boxes, hiring Giant Van saves you time, effort, and risk.

Folkestone is not a difficult town for removals overall, but certain areas need planning.
Getting this wrong on moving day causes delays and, in some cases, penalty charges.
The town centre around Sandgate Road and Tontine Street operates controlled parking zones.
Large removal lorries cannot stop freely.
Our drivers know which streets require a temporary suspension of parking bay orders.
For CT20 town-centre moves, we recommend applying for a parking suspension through Folkestone and Hythe District Council at least five working days in advance.
We can advise you on the process.
Folkestone Old Town, including the area around The Old High Street and the Creative Quarter near Rendezvous Street, has very narrow lanes.
Standard 7.5-tonne lorries cannot access these streets.
We use a 3.5-tonne long-wheelbase van for these jobs, which is still a full working vehicle but narrow enough to navigate without damaging walls or parked cars.
The harbour redevelopment zone near Folkestone Harbour Station is an active construction area.
Loading restrictions and access routes change seasonally.
Our local crews check current access before every job in this postcode.
Radnor Park and the residential streets north of the town centre are straightforward.
Wide roads and unrestricted parking in most areas mean our crew can arrive, load, and depart without delays.
If you are moving into or out of a flat above a shop on Sandgate Road or Old High Street, tell us when you book.
We plan the right vehicle and crew size for the job, not the other way round.

“Best removal service I've used”
Sarah, London
We move people within the town, out to nearby villages, and across the country. Our local knowledge covers every corner of the CT postcode area.
It sits to the north-west of the town centre and is largely residential, with a mix of semi-detached houses and 1970s estates. Access is generally good and most streets allow unrestricted parking. We regularly collect from and deliver to properties along Horn Street and Canterbury Road in Cheriton.
Street parking is tight and some terraced properties have no off-road access. We use our smaller vans here and always send a driver who knows the area.
Properties here include seafront flats, period terraces, and larger Victorian houses on the hill above the High Street. Access to upper-floor flats can be narrow. Our crew bring proper equipment for staircase work as standard.
We cover both villages without additional charges for most removal types.
Booking a removal used to mean phone calls, waiting for a callback, and handwritten quotes sent by email two days later.
Giant Van works on a different model.
Our app generates an instant quote.
You enter your collection postcode, your destination postcode, and the size of your move. The app calculates a fixed price based on real-time availability and vehicle assignment. For a Folkestone CT19 to CT20 move, you can have a confirmed price in under 90 seconds.
Same-day slots show as available in the app.
If we have a crew free this afternoon, you will see it. You can book it immediately without speaking to anyone if you prefer. For urgent removals, that speed matters.
Once you book, you get GPS tracking in the app.
You can see exactly where your Giant Van crew is, updated in real time. There are no mystery ETAs and no need to call and ask where the driver is. The tracking works from the moment the crew departs their previous job.
Payment is handled through the app.
We accept all major cards and do not hold cash on our vehicles. You pay after the job is complete and the confirmation shows the final amount with no hidden additions.
For customers who prefer to speak to someone, our team is available on seven days a week.
We can take bookings, adjust dates, add packing services, or answer questions about access in your specific postcode. The app and the phone line reach the same booking system. Whichever you use, your booking is confirmed immediately.
Booked online in under a minute and the crew turned up right on time. Everything was wrapped carefully and nothing was damaged. Genuinely the easiest move I've had.
The quote I got online was exactly what I paid. No hidden fees, no extra charges on the day. The two-man crew were professional, fast, and really friendly.
Our original movers cancelled last minute. Giant Van had a crew available the same day. They handled a full 2-bed flat and had us settled in by evening.

Check AvailabilityWe know Express Service by Giant Van well. Our drivers navigate the local streets daily, handling everything from narrow terraced house access to large detached properties. Every move is treated with care because our reputation in Express Service by Giant Van depends on it.
Express Service by Giant Van Operations, Giant Van Driver
An express removal does not mean a rushed one. Speed applies to scheduling and arrival. The actual move is carried out with the same care as any planned job. We do not cut corners because you booked at short notice.
All Giant Van crews carry furniture blankets, stretch wrap, and packing tape as standard. Upholstered items are wrapped before leaving your property. Flat-pack furniture is disassembled and reassembled at the destination if that is part of your booking.
For customers who want professional packing, we offer a full pack service. Our crew arrives with double-wall cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, tissue paper, and specialist packaging for fragile items such as mirrors, artwork, and electronics. We pack every room systematically and label every box. This is particularly useful for moves in Folkestone's older properties, where period features such as ornate cornices and original fireplaces need careful navigation when moving large items out.
Storage is available if your new property is not ready. We work with a secure facility near Junction 13 of the M20, which is roughly six miles from Folkestone town centre. Short-term and long-term storage are both available. Your items are fully insured while in storage.
If you are moving a single high-value item, such as an antique from one of the dealers around The Old High Street, we can arrange a dedicated single-item move with specialist wrapping. These jobs are priced individually. Call to discuss.

Transit Insurance
Accredited
Industry Certified
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
The Creative Quarter regeneration, the Folkestone Harbour project, and steady population growth have all increased demand for professional removal services. People move in more often now than ten years ago.
Not all of them offer the same standards. Folkestone has no shortage of one-man-band operators advertising on social media with uninsured vehicles and no fixed address. We are a different proposition.
Every vehicle on our fleet is maintained to commercial transport standards. We do not subcontract your move to a third party without your knowledge.
We know that the parking situation on Sandgate Road changes on bank holidays. We know that the flats above the shops on Rendezvous Street have very steep internal staircases. We know that the Ferry Road area near the harbour has restricted access on certain mornings due to the commercial port.
Time saves you money.
That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every Folkestone job.
The full cost tells a different story.
Add £25 to £45 in fuel for a local move. Add a damage deposit of £150 to £300, which you recover only if you return the van undamaged. Total before you lift a single box: £245 to £455.
Reversing a Transit down a Foord Road terrace or navigating the tight turns near The Bayle is not straightforward if you are not used to it. A kerb strike or wing mirror clip against a parked car in the Creative Quarter can wipe out your deposit entirely.
A two-bedroom house contains 35 to 50 boxes plus beds, wardrobes, and white goods. Without a sack trolley, furniture blankets, and a second pair of hands, that is a full day's heavy physical work.
It does not cover your belongings. If your television falls during loading, that cost is yours.
That includes two trained crew members, the van, proper equipment, and full goods-in-transit insurance. Your belongings are covered. You do not drive. You do not lift.
For a same-day express job in Folkestone, Giant Van is the practical choice.
Giant Van handles express removals across Folkestone and the wider CT postcode area.
If you are moving a single room in Cheriton, a full three-bedroom house near Radnor Park, or clearing a flat above one of the Creative Quarter's gallery spaces, we provide the same standard of service.
Same-day booking is available seven days a week.
Our instant quote tool gives you a fixed price in under two minutes, and GPS tracking means you always know where your crew is.
We cover CT19, CT20, and CT21 without mileage surcharges for local moves.
