Long-Distance Removals in Kettering: What We Cover
For Cheap Long Distance Removals Kettering, Giant Van offers a full range of long distance removal services from Kettering, covering house moves, man and van jobs, and office relocations across England, Scotland, and Wales. Our fleet includes Luton vans with tail lifts, transit-sized vans, and larger removal vehicles suited to full household loads.
Kettering removals present their own challenges. The town sits at a crossroads of the A14, A43, and A6, which gives excellent access to the motorway network but also means traffic can build near the junction with the A509 and through the town centre on Gold Street and Montagu Street.
Our drivers know these routes well and plan departure times to avoid peak congestion.
We handle a single-item courier run, a man and van for a studio flat on Bath Road, or a full house move from a four-bedroom property on Headlands, we size the vehicle to the job. No wasted space, no hidden surcharges.
Our man and van service starts from £48 and goes up to £300 depending on distance and load. House removals from Kettering are priced between £250 and £850. Office relocations range from £300 to £600. All quotes are fixed price once agreed, so you know the total before we arrive.
Road and Access Planning for Kettering Long-Distance Removals
Kettering sits in north Northamptonshire, roughly equidistant between the M1 and the A1, making it a practical staging point for long distance moves in any direction.
The A14 runs directly through the south of the town and connects to the M6 at Rugby and the A1(M) east of Huntingdon, giving our drivers two major corridor options depending on your destination.
For moves heading to London and the South East, we typically use the A14 east to junction 19 of the M1, then the M1 south through Luton and onto the North Circular or M25.
For moves heading north towards Leeds, Sheffield, or Edinburgh, we take the A43 north to junction 2 of the M6 toll or the A1 via Stamford and Grantham.
Parking in Kettering town centre can be tight.
Residents on Market Street, Newland Street, and Church Walk often have limited kerbside access, and double yellow lines appear frequently near the Market Place. We always carry loading ramp and trolleys to manage situations where the van cannot park directly outside.
If you are on a narrow road near the Wicksteed Park estate or around the NN16 postcode streets off Windmill Avenue, let us know in advance and we will bring the right equipment.
For moves to or from business addresses at Kettering Business Park off Pytchley Road or Kettering Venture Park near the A14 junction, we have handled commercial relocations and can accommodate out-of-hours loading to avoid disrupting your operations.
Giant Van Pricing for Kettering Removals
Our pricing covers three main service types. Man and van hire in Kettering starts at £45 and goes up to £300 for longer distances or larger single-room loads. Full house removals are priced between £250 and £850 depending on property size and the distance of the move.
Office relocations from Kettering start at £300 and reach up to £600 for larger commercial moves.
Every quote is fixed price. Once you confirm your move details, the price you agree is the price you pay. We do not add charges for fuel, motorway tolls, or congestion zone fees unless these are agreed at the quotation stage. Message us in the live chat to get your personalised quote.
All prices include a fully insured crew, van, and moving blankets. Packing services available as add-ons.
Work Out Your Moving CostBefore the Van Arrives for Long-Distance Removals in Kettering
Kettering sees a surge in removals between May and August, and slots on weekends fill fast. Booking four to six weeks ahead gives you the best choice of date and time.
Contact Kettering Borough Council (now part of North Northamptonshire Council) to request a temporary parking suspension on your street if needed. Applications usually require five working days' notice and a small fee.
On a long distance move, items may be stacked deep in the van and unloaded over several hours. Clear labels reduce confusion at the other end.
Washing machines need the drum securing and hoses draining. Fridge freezers should be defrosted at least 24 hours before loading to prevent water damage to other items in transit.
Kettering removals heading to Scotland or the South West involve long road hours, and road vibration at motorway speed is harder on china and glassware than it looks.
Narrow lanes, low bridges, and private road restrictions at the destination can delay unloading. Share any access notes with our team before move day.
This protects you in any later dispute with landlords or utility providers and takes under ten minutes.

Giant Van operations
Long-Distance Removals Peace of Mind in Kettering
Giant Van has built its reputation on straightforward, honest removal services. We do not use subcontractors. Every driver who handles your move works directly for us, which means consistent quality and clear accountability from booking to delivery.
Our pricing is transparent. For man and van work, you pay between £45 and £300 depending on distance and load. House removals are quoted between £250 and £850. Office moves run from £300 to £600. These are not ballpark figures; they are the ranges within which your firm quote will fall, and we stand behind every quote we issue.
We carry full goods in transit insurance on every job, so your possessions are protected throughout the move. We are also fully insured for public liability, which matters when we are carrying heavy furniture through your home on Northfield Avenue or office equipment through a managed business centre in Kettering Business Park.
Many of our Kettering customers come from personal recommendations. When someone has trusted us with a house move from the NN15 postcode and been pleased with the result, they tell their neighbours and colleagues. That word-of-mouth track record is something we protect on every single job.
We answer the phone. Call and you will speak to a person, not a bot. If you have a question about your move, a concern about access on your road, or a last-minute change of date, we handle it directly and quickly.

When Is the Best Time to Move?
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
Kettering Long-Distance Removals Calendar Tips
Understanding when demand is highest helps you secure better availability and, in some cases, better pricing.
School leavers, families wanting to move before the new academic year, and professionals relocating in line with the job market all concentrate their moves into this window. Saturdays in July and August are the busiest single days of the year.
Properties in NN14 and NN15 that complete near the end of March often need same-week or next-week removals, so last-minute availability shrinks fast.
If your move date is flexible and falls within these windows, you are more likely to secure your first-choice slot, and our team can give your move more time and attention when the diary is less pressured.
Friday is the most popular completion day for property purchases, which means removal demand peaks then. A Tuesday or Wednesday move often means less traffic through the A14 junction and more relaxed loading at both ends.
Man and Van vs Full House Removal: Which Do You Need?
You may load some items yourself, or the driver assists.
Our team handles all loading, transit, and unloading. The vehicle is sized to your contents, furniture is wrapped and protected, and you have a dedicated crew rather than a single driver.
We will ask a few simple questions about your property, the number of rooms, and any large items, and we will recommend the right service level with an accurate price.

We collect from residential streets, business parks, and town centre properties across the Kettering area and deliver long distance across the full United Kingdom.
How far in advance should I book a Kettering removal?
For summer moves between May and August, we recommend booking six to eight weeks ahead because Saturday slots fill quickly across Northamptonshire. Outside peak season, four weeks is usually sufficient. We do accept short-notice bookings within 48 hours when availability allows. Message us on live chat to check what dates we have open for your preferred week.
Is my furniture insured during a long distance move from Kettering?
Yes. This covers your furniture, boxes, and personal belongings throughout the move from your Kettering property to the destination. We also carry full public liability insurance. If you have high-value items, let us know at the quotation stage so we can discuss appropriate cover.
Can you help with parking arrangements near Kettering town centre?
We advise customers on Kettering town centre streets such as Market Street and Newland Street to apply for a temporary parking suspension through North Northamptonshire Council at least five working days before move day. Our drivers carry loading ramps and trolleys for situations where the vehicle cannot park directly outside, keeping the move moving even on restricted streets.
Do you offer packing services as part of Kettering removals?
Yes. Packing is available as an add-on to any house removal from Kettering. Our team brings double-wall boxes, packing tape, and tissue paper. We pack room by room, label every box clearly, and load in a logical sequence for unloading at the other end. Let us know when you call and we will include packing in your quote.
Which long distance routes from Kettering do you cover most often?
Our most common long distance routes from Kettering are to London (80 miles via the M1), Birmingham (50 miles via the A45), Manchester (100 miles via the M6), Bristol (100 miles via the M40), and Edinburgh (340 miles via the A1). We also complete regular moves within Northamptonshire to Corby, Wellingborough, and Northampton. We cover all UK destinations.
What is the difference between your man and van and full house removal service?
Man and van suits one-bedroom flats, studio properties, and smaller loads where one driver and vehicle is enough. Full house removal is designed for two-bedroom properties and above, with a full crew handling loading, transit, and unloading. For anything over two bedrooms in Kettering, we recommend the full removal service.
