Long Distance Removal Services From Wigan
Giant Van specialises in long distance removals starting from Wigan and reaching every corner of the UK. Our service covers man and van jobs, full house removals, and office relocations, giving you a single point of contact however large or small your move is.
Our man and van service starts at £45 and suits single-item deliveries, student moves, and light flat clearances. Full house removals start at £250 and scale to £850 depending on property size, distance, and the number of crew members needed. Office removals start at £300 and reach £600 for larger commercial relocations.
Every booking includes a professional driver, protective blankets, furniture straps, and a clean, roadworthy van. We do not subcontract. The crew that arrives at your Wigan address is directly employed by Giant Van, which means consistent quality and clear accountability on every job.
Wigan removals often involve navigating older terraced streets around Scholes, WN1, or tight access routes near the Wigan Wallgate area. Our drivers know how to plan routes that avoid narrow entries and low-clearance bridges on the A49 and A577 corridors, saving time and protecting your belongings from unnecessary jolts during loading.
Access, Parking, and Logistics in Wigan
Wigan's road network has some distinct characteristics that affect removals.
The town centre around Market Street, Library Street, and King Street operates with restricted loading zones and timed parking bays. Our crew arrives early to secure a bay before restrictions apply, typically before 8:30 am, which keeps the job moving without wasting your time or money.
Residential areas present their own challenges.
The back streets around Lower Ince (WN3) and Platt Bridge (WN2) are often single-width with parked cars on both sides. We use medium wheelbase and long wheelbase vans in our fleet, selecting the right size for each street rather than arriving with an oversized vehicle that blocks the road.
Properties near Wigan Pier on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal often have cobbled approach roads.
We use sack trucks with pneumatic tyres and shoulder straps for multi-person carries on uneven surfaces. For high-rise or multi-storey buildings such as those near the Grand Arcade development, we coordinate with building management to book the goods lift in advance.
For motorway access out of Wigan, the M6 junction 25 and M58 junction 6 are our primary exit points for long distance routes heading south to London or east to Leeds, Sheffield, and beyond.
We factor in M6 congestion patterns, particularly around the junction 21 to 22 stretch near Warrington, when providing your estimated delivery window.

7 Tips
These are the busiest dates for wigan removals and van availability drops quickly.
Victorian terraces around Newtown (WN5) often have hallways under 75 cm wide, which means wardrobes must be disassembled before they will pass through.
When boxes are stacked in the van, the side label stays visible and your crew can unload in the correct order at your destination.
The permit typically costs between £40 and £80 per bay and prevents disputes with neighbours.
Appliances with residual ice can leak during transit and damage nearby boxes or flooring at your new property.
On a long distance job from Wigan to Bristol or Edinburgh, having these to hand avoids rummaging through boxes at the other end.
This protects you from disputed final bills.

What Is Included When You Rent a Van in Wigan With Giant Van
When you book Giant Van for a Wigan removal, the price you are quoted covers more than just the vehicle and driver.
Here is exactly what every booking includes.
The van is fully insured for goods in transit up to £10,000 per booking.
You do not need separate removal insurance for standard household or office contents.
For high-value items such as antiques, original artwork, or high-specification server equipment, we recommend declaring these in advance so we can discuss supplementary cover.
Every crew member is employed, background-checked, and trained in manual handling.
We do not use casual labour.
Our team carries Public Liability Insurance of £2 million, protecting both your property and the buildings at your origin and destination addresses.
Equipment included in every job: furniture blankets (minimum 12 per van), adjustable straps, a two-wheel sack truck, a stair climber trolley for heavy items such as washing machines and American-style fridge-freezers, floor protection runners, and corner guards for door frames and banisters.
Fuel, road tolls, and the Dartford Crossing charge (if applicable for southern England routes) are included in your fixed price quote.
You will never receive a bill for extras after the job is complete.
This fixed-price model is particularly valued by customers moving from Wigan to London, where the Dartford charge would otherwise add an unexpected cost at the end of a long day.

Why Wigan Customers Choose Giant Van
Customers across Wigan repeatedly choose Giant Van because we combine transparent pricing with a crew that shows up ready to work. There are no vague estimates that balloon on moving day. The price you receive in writing is the price you pay.
Our vehicles are maintained to a higher standard than most private hire alternatives. Each van in the fleet undergoes a safety inspection every 10,000 miles and a full service every 20,000 miles. This matters on a long distance job from Wigan to southern England, where a mechanical failure 200 miles from home would cost far more than any saving made by booking an unvetted driver.
We are available seven days a week, including bank holidays. Wigan removals on a Bank Holiday Monday or during a school half-term are common, and we staff accordingly. Last-minute availability is often possible within 24 to 48 hours for man and van bookings.
Communication is direct. You speak to a human when you call . There is no automated routing system or overseas call centre. Your questions are answered by someone who knows the Wigan area and can give practical advice about parking on Mesnes Street or access to the new build estates off Warrington Road in Wigan Retail Park South.
We bring a straightforward, professional approach to every wigan removals job. That consistency is what earns repeat bookings and personal recommendations across the borough.

Best Times to Move Long Distance From Wigan
6 Tips
Understanding the patterns specific to Wigan helps you pick a date that works in your favour.
Demand for wigan removals drops by roughly 30% on these days, which means more crew availability, greater flexibility on start times, and a calmer approach to the job overall.
This is the single busiest day in the UK removals calendar because most property completions are timed to coincide with month-end. Wigan solicitors typically release keys between 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm on completion day, which means the most popular van collection times are 10:00 am to 11:00 am. Booking a day earlier removes that pressure entirely.
If you have flexibility on your timeline, a January move from Wigan to London or Edinburgh can be scheduled with more precision and a shorter lead time than a summer move requiring the same route.
Book eight to ten weeks ahead for any August removal from Wigan. September is slightly quieter once school returns, making it a practical window for families who completed their house purchase during the summer but delayed the physical move.

Rent Van Wigan for Long Distance Removals Across the UK — FAQs
How much does it cost to rent a van in Wigan for a long distance move?
Giant Van's man and van service starts at £45 for short local jobs and reaches £300 for longer man and van bookings. Full house removals start at £250 and reach £850. Office removals start at £300. All prices are fixed and include the driver, crew, equipment, fuel, and road tolls. Call for a written quote based on your exact WN postcode and destination.
Do you cover all Wigan postcodes for collection?
Yes. Giant Van collects from WN1 through WN7, covering Wigan town centre, Scholes, Platt Bridge, Hindley, Pemberton, Ashton-in-Makerfield, Orrell, Standish, Shevington, and Leigh. We also collect from Golborne, Atherton, Tyldesley, and Abram at no extra mileage charge. Destinations cover the full UK mainland including London, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Bristol, and Cardiff.
Can you handle parking restrictions near Wigan town centre?
Yes. Our crew is familiar with the timed loading bays on Market Street, Library Street, and King Street in WN1. We schedule early starts before restrictions apply and advise customers in advance when a temporary parking suspension from Wigan Council is worth applying for. Suspension permits typically cost £40 to £80 per bay and prevent delays on move day.
How far in advance should I book a Wigan removal?
For mid-week moves in quieter months, one week is usually sufficient for man and van bookings and two weeks for house removals. For Friday moves, end-of-month dates, or any booking during July and August, aim for six to eight weeks ahead. August is consistently the busiest period for wigan removals. Call to check current availability for your date.
Is goods-in-transit insurance included?
Yes. Every Giant Van booking includes goods-in-transit insurance up to £10,000. Public liability cover of £2 million is also included, protecting your property and the buildings at both addresses. For high-value items such as antiques, original artwork, or server equipment, declare these when booking so we can discuss whether additional cover is appropriate for your move.
What is the best day of the week to move from Wigan?
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are the best days for long distance wigan removals. Demand is roughly 30% lower than weekends, giving you more crew availability and flexible start times. Avoid the last Friday of the month, when property completions cluster and van availability drops sharply. An early morning start on a mid-week date also reduces M6 travel time to southern destinations significantly.
Do you disassemble and reassemble furniture?
Yes. Giant Van crews disassemble furniture that cannot safely pass through doorways or stairwells and reassemble it at your destination at no extra charge. This includes bed frames, flat-pack wardrobes, and dining tables. We ask that you flag any particularly large or unusual items, such as American-style fridge-freezers or piano uprights, when booking so we can send the right crew and equipment.
Can you move me from Wigan to Scotland or Wales?
Yes. Giant Van covers all UK mainland destinations. Common long distance routes from Wigan include moves to Edinburgh (EH postcodes), Glasgow (G postcodes), Cardiff (CF postcodes), and Swansea (SA postcodes). Scottish Highlands and Islands destinations may involve a fuel supplement, which we will confirm in writing before you confirm your booking. Northern Ireland can be arranged with five working days' notice via the Cairnryan ferry.
