Last Minute Removals In and Out of Maidstone

Maidstone has a steady flow of student and short-let tenants moving in and out of flats near the college campuses and town centre.
These moves are typically lighter in volume but time-sensitive — landlords set checkout times, and new tenants need to be in before evening.
Giant Van's man-and-van service covers exactly this type of job.
A single-room student move in Maidstone starts at £49.
A one-bed flat move with two people and standard furniture is typically £149.
We carry out same-day student moves when called before noon.
Kent's mid-year letting cycle means August and September are peak months for flat moves in Maidstone, but we maintain availability year-round.
If you are moving out of a managed property and need an inventory check completed first, book us for early morning — we can hold the van in position while you walk through the property with the landlord's agent before loading begins.
No extra charge for that waiting period up to 30 minutes.
