Removals and Storage
Removals and storage often go hand-in-hand — when completion dates do not align or you need somewhere to keep furniture between moves. Giant Van works alongside trusted storage partners to give customers a joined-up service. Storage options range from short-term container hire to secure warehouse facilities.
Giant Van offers removal and storage packages from collection through to redelivery. Short-term and long-term options available.
Storage warehouse from around £15 per cubic metre per month.

The Basics of Our Storage Options Service
To rent a storage room in the UK, you have three main options: self-storage facilities (you access the unit yourself), mobile storage pods (delivered to your door, collected, and stored at a depot), and managed warehouse storage (the removal company stores your items and retrieves them when needed).
Prices vary widely: a small self-storage unit (25 sq ft) runs around £30–£80 per month depending on location.
A managed storage container costs around £25–£60 per month.
Giant Van can collect, store, and redeliver your items when you are ready — message us on live chat to discuss the most cost-effective approach for your specific timeline.

Everything in Your Storage Options Quote
Customers frequently ask about short and long-term storage options and how Giant Van handles each situation.
The team operates with a clear policy on all storage queries.
For short and long-term storage options, the best approach is to include full details when submitting your quote.
The more information provided upfront, the more accurate the quote and the smoother the move.
Giant Van's operations team is available Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm, for storage queries that the online system does not cover.
Most storage questions have straightforward answers — the complication usually comes from unusual property types, access restrictions, or non-standard items.

Email responses for storage queries are typically issued within two working hours during business days.
The online quote form captures the most common storage variables and routes complex cases to the operations team automatically.
For same-day storage queries, calling is faster than email.
Giant Van's website also includes a live chat function available during business hours for quick storage questions.
Finding the cheapest storage does not always mean the best value.
A unit that costs £30 per month but sits 40 minutes from your home will cost more in time and fuel to access than one at £50 per month a mile away.
For moves where you need items back quickly, proximity matters as much as price.
Giant Van's storage partners are located near major London routes for fast access.

Removals and Storage — FAQs
Can Giant Van arrange storage warehouse space for my belongings?
Giant Van can arrange storage warehouse space for residential and commercial customers. Items are collected, logged, and stored in a secure facility. You can request redelivery with 48 hours' notice. Pricing is based on volume (per cubic metre per week) rather than a flat monthly rate, which makes short-term storage more affordable.

What is the cost of long term storage through a removal company?
Long term storage through a removal company typically costs £15–£40 per cubic metre per month, depending on the facility and security level. For a typical two-bedroom flat's contents (around 30 cubic metres), expect to pay £450–£1,200 per month for managed storage. Self-storage units are cheaper but require you to handle access and logistics yourself.
