Long Distance Removals from 3 Bedroom
Moving a 3-bedroom home across the country is one of the biggest logistical tasks most people face. Long distance removals require careful planning, the right vehicle size, and a team that knows how to protect your furniture over a full day's drive. Giant Van specialises in exactly this. We move 3-bedroom homes to destinations across the UK at fixed prices with no hidden charges. Call 020 3129 6180 for a fast, no-obligation quote.

What Long Distance Removals Involve for a 3-Bedroom Move
Long distance removals differ from local moves in almost every way. A local move might take three to four hours. A long distance move across England, Scotland, or Wales can take eight to twelve hours of travel alone, before loading and unloading time is added.
Trained Team
For a 3-bedroom home, expect the process to span a full day, sometimes two. A typical 3-bedroom property contains around 1,000 to 1,500 cubic feet of belongings: beds, wardrobes, sofas, dining tables, white goods, garden furniture, and dozens of boxes. This volume typically fills a large Luton van or, in many cases, requires a 7.5-tonne curtain-sided lorry.
The key difference with long distance moves is the handling of your goods in transit. Items that feel secure for a 20-minute local drive are subjected to road vibration, temperature changes, and repeated braking over several hours. Professional long distance movers use furniture blankets, transit straps, and protective wrapping as standard. Giant Van crews are trained specifically for this, not just general delivery work.
Planning the route matters too. Our drivers assess travel time, potential road closures, and access at both the collection and delivery addresses before the move day. This preparation keeps the day on schedule and prevents costly delays.

Get your exact priceLong Distance Removals Pricing for a 3-Bedroom Home
Pricing for long distance removals depends on four main factors: the distance between your two properties, the total volume of your belongings, the floor levels involved, and any specialist items such as pianos or large gym equipment.
For a 3-bedroom home, most long distance moves in the UK fall between £800 and £2,200.
Short-to-medium distance moves of 50 to 150 miles typically start around £800 to £1,200. Cross-country moves of 200 to 400 miles, such as London to Manchester or Birmingham to Edinburgh, generally range from £1,200 to £2,200.
Giant Van offers fixed-price quotes, so what you see is what you pay.
There are no fuel surcharges added on the day, no waiting-time charges unless agreed upfront, and no extra fees for stairs in standard properties. You receive a written confirmation of your price before any booking is made.
The best way to get an accurate price is to complete our online quote form or call .
We will ask about your postcode, destination, property type, and any large items so we can match you with the right vehicle and crew. Comparing quotes is sensible, but check whether competitors include fuel, VAT, and packing materials in their headline figures. Ours always do.

10 Tips for a Smooth Long Distance House Move
10 Tips
Long distance movers fill their calendars quickly, especially in summer and at month ends.
Every item you remove from the move reduces volume, time, and therefore cost.
This saves hours when unloading at the new property.
Reassembly at the far end is much faster with a reference image.
Many people forget the DVLA and receive fines months later.
You will need these before the van is unpacked.
Low bridges, narrow lanes, and permit-only parking can add hours to an unplanned move day.
Delays in completion affect your removal slot.

What Giant Van Includes in Every Long Distance Removal
Every Giant Van long distance removal booking comes with a fixed set of inclusions so you know exactly what you are paying for and what to expect on the day.
Our standard 3-bedroom long distance package includes a dedicated crew of two trained removal operatives, a large Luton van or 7.5-tonne lorry matched to your volume, furniture blankets and transit straps for all large items, and full goods-in-transit insurance up to £50,000.
Fuel and road tolls are covered in your quoted price.
We do not bill for these separately.
On the day, the crew will disassemble standard flat-pack furniture such as bed frames and wardrobe rails where needed, and reassemble them at your new home.
They will load rooms in a planned order, heaviest items first to protect fragile pieces.
At the destination, they will place furniture in the rooms you specify.
Optional extras available at an additional charge include full packing using professional double-walled boxes and packing tape, specialist wrapping for antiques or artwork, piano removal, and storage if your new property is not ready on completion day.
Storage is available in our secure facilities from one week to six months.
All of this is confirmed in writing before your booking is finalised.
There are no verbal promises that disappear on move day.

UK Coverage: Where Giant Van Long Distance Movers Operate
5 Tips
We operate from collection points across Greater London, the South East, the Midlands, the North West, Yorkshire, and beyond.
We also handle cross-regional moves that do not start or end in London, such as Manchester to Brighton or Sheffield to Southampton.
If your new home is down a narrow country lane or up a steep farm track, tell us at the quote stage so we can assess vehicle access and plan accordingly. In some cases a smaller shuttle vehicle is needed to bridge the gap between the main lorry and the property.
If you have a complex access situation at either end of your move, we have almost certainly dealt with it before.

Why Choose Giant Van for Your Long Distance Removal
Long distance movers range from sole traders with a van to large national franchises. Giant Van sits between these extremes: a professional, fully insured removal company with the personal service of a smaller operator and the vehicle capacity and training standards of a national firm.
Every crew member completes an in-house induction programme covering packing techniques, furniture protection, manual handling, and customer communication before their first move. We do not use agency staff on long distance jobs. You get the same crew for the full day, from loading at your old home to final item placement at your new one.
Our vehicles are owned, maintained, and GPS-tracked. In the unlikely event of a breakdown, we have contingency vehicles and will communicate with you immediately. Breakdowns are rare because our maintenance schedule is strict, but we plan for them.
Goods-in-transit insurance is included as standard. You do not need to take out separate cover or pay an excess to access it. If something is damaged during the move, we handle the claim directly. There is no third-party insurer to argue with.
Pricing is transparent. We do not offer artificially low quotes to win the booking and then apply charges on the day. Our written quotes are the price you pay. Call or request a quote online to see what your specific move costs.

Best Times to Book Long Distance Removals in the UK
5 Tips
School summer holidays drive a surge in family moves, and month-end is when most property completions happen. If you can be flexible, moving mid-month on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday will cost less and be easier to book.
The summer rush has passed, the weather is still reasonable for moving furniture, and removal companies have availability. January and February are the quietest months of the year. Prices are at their lowest and you have the most choice of dates, though the weather carries more risk.
Last-minute long distance removals are genuinely more expensive because the logistics company has to rearrange existing schedules. Four to six weeks' notice is the minimum for a good selection of crew and vehicles. Eight weeks or more gives you maximum choice and the best price.
Most firms will move your booking once without a fee if given reasonable notice. Moving it twice or at short notice may incur an admin charge. Giant Van's policy on date changes is confirmed in your booking documentation.

Long Distance Removals vs. DIY Van Hire: What to Consider
5 Tips
For a 3-bedroom long distance move, this rarely works out cheaper once all costs are factored in.
A 3-bedroom home usually requires more than one van load over a long distance, which means multiple trips or an upgrade to a lorry. Lorry hire requires a Category C driving licence, which most people do not hold.
The physical toll of loading and unloading a full 3-bedroom home over a long day should also be considered.
If a wardrobe is dropped on a DIY move, the cost of replacing it comes out of your own pocket. With Giant Van, it is covered.
For a full 3-bedroom long distance removal, a professional company almost always represents better value when all costs and risks are counted.
Getting your 3-bedroom home from one end of the country to the other is a significant undertaking, but it does not have to be stressful.
Trained Team
The key is choosing long distance movers who communicate clearly, price honestly, and have the right equipment for the job.

Long Distance Removals from 3 Bedroom — FAQs
How long does a long distance removal for a 3-bedroom home typically take?
Most 3-bedroom long distance removals take between eight and fourteen hours from start to finish. Loading usually takes two to three hours, transit adds two to six hours depending on distance, and unloading takes a further two to three hours. Moves exceeding 300 miles may be spread across two days. Giant Van will give you a realistic day schedule before you book.
Do long distance movers disassemble and reassemble furniture?
Yes, Giant Van crews disassemble and reassemble standard flat-pack furniture such as bed frames, wardrobe rails, and dining tables as part of a standard long distance removal booking. Specialist furniture such as bespoke built-in units or antique pieces may require a joiner, which we can arrange separately. Confirm what is included when you receive your written quote.
Is my furniture insured during a long distance removal?
Yes. Giant Van includes goods-in-transit insurance up to £50,000 as standard on every long distance removal booking. There is no excess to pay for valid claims and no third-party insurer. If an item is damaged by the crew during the move, we handle the resolution directly. Items packed by the owner rather than the crew may be subject to different terms, which are set out in your booking documentation.
How far in advance should I book long distance movers?
Four to six weeks is the recommended minimum for a 3-bedroom long distance removal. If your move falls in June, July, or August, or on the last week of a month, book eight weeks or more in advance. Last-minute bookings within two weeks of the move date are possible but carry a premium and offer less choice of dates. Call to check availability for your specific date.
What happens if my completion date changes after I have booked?
Property completions do move, and Giant Van understands this. One date change requested with reasonable notice (at least one week) is accommodated without a fee in most cases. A second change or a very short-notice request may incur an admin charge. The exact terms are set out in your booking confirmation. Call as soon as you know your date is likely to change so we can check alternative availability.
Can you move a piano or other heavy specialist items long distance?
Yes. Giant Van moves upright and grand pianos, heavy gym equipment, pool tables, large safes, and similar specialist items as part of long distance removals. These require additional crew or specialist equipment and are quoted separately. Tell us about any such items at the quote stage so we can include the right resource in your plan and price. Call to discuss your specific items.
Do you offer storage if my new home is not ready on completion day?
Yes. Giant Van offers secure storage from one week to six months. If your completion is delayed or your new property needs work before you move in, we can unload your belongings into a dedicated container unit and deliver them when you are ready. Storage is priced from £60 per week for a 3-bedroom volume. Ask about storage when you request your removal quote so it can be included in your planning.
What areas does Giant Van cover for long distance removals?
Giant Van covers long distance removals across England, Scotland, and Wales. Common routes include London to Manchester, London to Edinburgh, Birmingham to Bristol, Leeds to Liverpool, and Cardiff to London. We also cover cross-regional moves that do not start or end in a major city. For moves to Northern Ireland or the Scottish Islands, call for a specific logistics plan and quote.
