Homes and Flats We Move in Castlemilk
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
What We Move in Castlemilk
For Glasgow residents, moving house and energy suppliers is one of the most commonly overlooked parts of a Castlemilk house move.
Notify your current gas and electricity provider at least 48 hours before moving day, and take meter readings on both departure and arrival.
Many Castlemilk properties are on pre-payment meters — if you're moving into a G45 property with a prepayment meter you'd prefer to switch, contact the new supplier to discuss conversion.
Giant Van can move you on any day that suits your utility switch schedule.
We recommend booking your removal and utility changes on the same calendar to avoid gaps in cover.
