Properties We Cover in Rumney
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
What Rumney Can Book
Rumney sits on the eastern edge of Cardiff, bordered by the River Rhymney to the east and the Llanrumney estate to the north. It covers postcodes CF3 3 and CF3 4, with busy residential streets including Rumney Hill, Wentloog Road, and Cae Glas.
The area has a mix of pre-war terraces, 1960s semis, and modern infill housing, so access conditions vary quite a bit from street to street.
Wentloog Road runs through the heart of the area and tends to be straightforward for a standard transit van. Rumney Hill, though, is a steep climb with narrow sections near the top, and parking can be tight in the older terraced stretches close to the shops. Our drivers know these roads well and plan the approach before arrival.
The Crown pub junction and the shops along Newport Road mark the boundary between Rumney and Llanrumney, and we cover both sides. We also serve the newer housing off Greenway Road and the properties close to Rumney Recreation Ground on Ty Mawr Road.
Giant Van operates in Rumney every day of the week. We book same-day jobs when a slot is free, and we send you GPS updates so you know exactly when we arrive. All moves are fully insured. There are no hidden fees. The price you see in your quote is the price you pay.
On-the-Ground Knowledge in Rumney
Pricing in Rumney follows our standard Cardiff rate card.
For small loads and single-item deliveries, we charge from £54 per hour.
Most one-off furniture collections or small flat moves take between one and two hours.
For larger jobs we offer fixed prices that give you more certainty.
A one-bedroom flat move in Rumney typically costs between £250 and £400.
A two-bedroom house move runs from £400 to £650.
A three-bedroom family home move is priced from £650 to £900.
These figures cover the van, two movers, fuel, and full goods-in-transit insurance.
Packing materials can be added at cost if you need boxes or wrapping paper.
Staircase access adds time to any job.
If you are on the upper floors of a block with no lift, or if your terrace on Rumney Hill has a steep front path, tell us when you book and we factor it in upfront.
We do not charge surprise extras on the day.
Furniture delivery jobs in Rumney start from £48 and are usually completed in under an hour for local pickups.
If you need a sofa collected from a shop in Cardiff city centre and brought to your home on Crickhowell Road or Pen-y-Turnpike Road, we can do that on the same day.

Included With Every Rumney Move
Furniture delivery in Rumney is one of our most popular services.
Many local residents buy large items on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree and need a van to collect and bring them home.
We handle sofas, dining sets, wardrobes, white goods, and garden furniture.
We collect from anywhere in Cardiff and the surrounding area and deliver directly to your home in CF3.
We also carry furniture between addresses within Rumney itself.
If you are helping a family member move a bed from Llanrumney to a property on Cae Glas Avenue, or taking a chest of drawers to a student house in Cardiff Bay, we cover all of these without charging a full removal fee.
Retail store deliveries are another common request.
Some furniture retailers and second-hand shops in Cardiff do not offer home delivery, or charge a lot for it.
Giant Van can collect from the store and bring your purchase to your door in Rumney the same day in many cases.
Our drivers carry moving straps and blankets to protect items in transit.
We do not leave items on the pavement.
Everything goes into your room of choice.
If you want us to take away old furniture at the same time, ask when booking and we will arrange a disposal or charity collection drop where possible.

Getting Started With a Rumney Move
- 01
For Cardiff residents, access is a real consideration in Rumney, and it is something we take seriously.
The streets around Rumney village centre, particularly the terraced rows near Newport Road, are narrow with on-street parking on both sides. A large Luton van cannot always get close to the front door on these streets.
- 02
Our drivers will park at the nearest safe point and use sack trucks to bridge the gap.
- 03
Rumney Hill presents a gradient challenge.
The steeper sections above the Rumney Hill pub can slow a loaded vehicle and require careful positioning. We have driven this route many times and always factor it into the job time.
- 04
Wentloog Road and the flatter residential streets off it are much more straightforward.
Greenway Road and Crickhowell Road have good visibility and reasonable parking. The access to Rumney Recreation Ground via Ty Mawr Road is open and poses no issues.
- 05
Residents on the boundary with Trowbridge, especially near the newer estates off St Davids Road and Wentloog Avenue, typically have wider roads and off-street parking, which makes loading faster.
- 06
For any property where you are unsure about access, send us the address when you book.
We can check it on mapping tools and advise on whether a standard transit or a smaller vehicle is more appropriate. Getting this right before arrival saves time and money on the day.
