House Removals Across Havering
Havering is one of London's largest boroughs, stretching from the A12 corridor near Chadwell Heath right out to the rural fringes of Upminster and Cranham. That size means every move here is different. A flat in a Romford tower block near the Ring Road is a completely different job to a four-bedroom semi in Harold Wood or a cottage on the outskirts of Rainham.
Fully InsuredSame-Day Available
Giant Van covers every postcode across the borough, including RM1, RM2, RM3, RM4, RM5, RM6, RM7, RM11, RM12, RM13, and RM14. We carry out house removals in Havering seven days a week, including bank holidays. Our vehicles range from Luton vans with tail lifts to Sprinters suited to smaller loads or tighter streets.
House removals in Havering start from £250 for a one-bedroom property. A typical three-bedroom move within the borough runs between £400 and £650, depending on the volume of furniture, floor levels, and we handle a packing service on top. We quote every job individually so you only pay for what you actually need.
Same-day removals are available across Havering from £80. If you need to move at short notice, call and we will confirm availability within the hour. All our removal services are fully insured, so your belongings are covered from the moment we lift them.
Access and Road Conditions in Havering Worth Knowing
Havering has some specific access challenges that affect how we plan your removal.
Understanding these in advance saves time and avoids unexpected costs on moving day.
Romford town centre is the busiest area in the borough.
South Street and Market Place see heavy traffic throughout the day, particularly on market days (Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday). If you are moving from a flat or property near Romford station or The Liberty shopping centre, we recommend booking your removal for early morning, before 8am, to avoid congestion on the A118 and A124 approaches.
Hornchurch High Street and Upminster town centre both have resident parking zones.
You may need to contact the London Borough of Havering to arrange a temporary parking suspension for the removal van. We can advise on this process, but the application needs to come from you as the resident. Allow at least five working days for a suspension to be granted.
Harold Wood and Harold Hill both contain large post-war housing estates with tight estate roads and culs-de-sac, particularly around Gooshays Drive and Tees Drive.
Our drivers know these streets well. We use Sprinter vans for these areas rather than larger Luton vans where access is tight.
Rainham and Wennington sit close to the A1306 and the Beam Parkway development zone.
Road closures and diversion routes in this area change frequently due to ongoing construction. We check live traffic and planned roadworks before every job in this part of the borough.
Properties near the River Rom or the Mar Dyke in the south of the borough occasionally experience flood plain restrictions on heavy vehicle access.
We always confirm vehicle size suitability before booking.

6 Tips
These five steps apply to any house removal in Havering.
If you live on a permit-controlled street in Hornchurch, Romford, or Upminster, contact Havering Council at least one week before your move to apply for a parking suspension. The reference number for the council's highways team is listed on the London Borough of Havering website. Suspensions cost around £55 per day and must cover the length of van you are hiring.
Properties in Harold Hill and Collier Row often have narrow front paths, low gates, or restricted driveway access. Measure doorways, staircases, and any tight turns before your removal crew arrives. If large items like sofas or wardrobes will not fit through existing gaps, let us know in advance. We carry furniture removal straps and blankets for awkward lifts.
Several tower blocks and maisonette blocks in Romford and Rainham have shared lifts that need to be booked by residents for moving purposes. Contact your building management company at least 48 hours ahead to reserve the lift for your slot.
Washing machines, dishwashers, and American-style fridge freezers need to be disconnected, drained, and moved into position near the exit point before the crew arrives. This is not included in a standard removal quote.
Set aside anything going to a charity shop, skip hire, or house clearance service before the crew arrives. Mixing these with removal items slows the whole job down. Giant Van also offers house clearance in Havering from £150 if you need unwanted items removed at the same time.

Why Havering Residents Choose Giant Van
There are several removal companies in Havering to choose from. Here is what makes Giant Van different.
We give instant, itemised quotes. You do not wait for a callback or a home visit. Put your details in online and get your price in seconds. The figure you see is the figure you pay, provided the job matches what you described at the time of booking.
Our app puts you in control. Book, manage, and track your removal from your phone. You get live GPS tracking on the day, real-time driver updates, and digital confirmation of collection and delivery. This is not a standard feature with most local removal companies in Havering.
Same-day availability across RM postcodes. If you have an urgent move, call . We carry out same-day removals in Havering from £80. Subject to van availability, we can often have a crew at your door within two to three hours.
Fully insured on every job. Some man and van operators in the borough carry only basic liability cover. Giant Van includes full goods-in-transit insurance on every removal, regardless of size or distance.
No hidden charges. Fuel, tolls, and congestion zone fees are calculated into your quote upfront. You are never presented with a bill higher than what you agreed at the time of booking.
Our crews are experienced in Havering-specific access conditions. They know which streets around Harold Hill and Collier Row require smaller vehicles. They know which blocks in Romford have lift restrictions. That local knowledge saves time and prevents problems on moving day.

Best Times to Book Removals in Havering
6 Tips
Here is what we know from carrying out removals across RM postcodes throughout the year.
The A124 Hornchurch Road and A125 Rainham Road are significantly less congested before 9am. An early start means your crew can complete more in a shorter window, which keeps costs down on time-based moves.
Completion dates for property purchases in the UK cluster around the last three working days of the month, including in Havering. If you have flexibility on dates, choosing the middle of the month means better van availability and faster response times.
School term endings drive a surge in family moves. Book at least three weeks ahead if you are planning a summer move. January is typically the quietest month and can offer the best availability and fastest response to same-day requests.
This means Friday removals in Havering book up quickly. If your solicitor confirms a Friday completion, contact us the same day to secure your slot.
If you want to clear items before your crew arrives, book the council collection first. Alternatively, Giant Van's house clearance service can run the same day as your removal from £150, removing the need for a separate booking.
Removals Havering: Giant Van vs Standard Man and Van
5 Tips
Larger furniture items may not be covered if damaged in transit. Quotes are often given verbally with no written confirmation, and prices can change on the day.
Every job includes full goods-in-transit insurance with a clear claims process. You receive a written quote instantly, and that price does not change provided the job matches the details you submitted.
Live GPS tracking, digital confirmation, and in-app booking are not available from most local removal companies in Havering. For anyone who has experienced a no-show or a late arrival from a smaller operator, this real-time visibility is a meaningful upgrade.
For full house removals in Havering, particularly those involving multiple floors, large furniture, or a tight completion date, the additional crew member, full insurance, and confirmed pricing that Giant Van provides is worth the difference in cost.
Giant Van is available seven days a week for house removals in Havering.
