Homes and Flats We Move in Roath
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Moves We Handle in Roath
Roath has a mobile population, partly driven by the university catchment, and a significant number of customers ask Giant Van about removals to Ireland — both Northern Ireland and the Republic.
The most common routes are Cardiff to Dublin and Cardiff to Belfast.
For the Welsh leg of the move, Giant Van handles packing, loading and delivery to a freight consolidator or ferry port.
Pembroke Dock, around 90 miles from Roath via the A48 and M4, serves the main Rosslare ferry route.
Fishguard is also viable for Rosslare.
We co-ordinate with international removal partners for the sea crossing and Irish delivery.
Contact us at least four weeks ahead for a cross-water removal — booking capacity on the ferry consolidators can be limited.
Moving Logistics Across Roath
When customers from North East England or North East Wales relocate to Roath, they typically come for Cardiff's job market, lower property prices relative to London, and the city's growing cultural reputation.
Giant Van handles inbound moves to Cardiff from the North East and all other regions — whether that's a single man and van from Newcastle to CF24, or a full family removal from Sunderland or Middlesbrough.
Roath's Victorian terraces and bay-fronted properties on Marlborough Road, Claude Road and Inverness Place are especially popular with young professionals making the move south.
We price these longer routes as fixed quotes rather than hourly, covering both the collection address and the Roath delivery.

Roath Removals: Local and Regional
Cardiff moving companies compare well against self-drive van hire for most Roath property sizes.
Self-drive day hire in Cardiff costs £80 to £150 before fuel, insurance excess, and equipment.
Giant Van's house removals from £149 include a trained two-person crew, all equipment, and goods-in-transit insurance in one fixed price.
Roath's Victorian and Edwardian bay-fronted properties often have steep bay windows, compact hallways, and tight staircases.
Manoeuvring large sofas and wardrobes without trained movers is physically demanding and increases damage risk.
For Roath properties that frequently house large student and professional populations with tight schedules, a professional service that works to the clock is a practical advantage.
