Move house or office while the city sleeps
Insured crews move you after dark, when the roads are clear and parking is easy, in 114 towns and cities across the UK.
Why moving at night makes sense
Daytime removals in busy towns and cities mean queued ring roads, full car parks, and tourist crowds on the main streets. After dark, those same routes are clear. Our overnight crews move your home or office while the roads are quiet, so the job takes less time and your street stays free of a parked van at rush hour.
How an overnight removal works
Most overnight jobs start between 8pm and 10pm and finish by around 6am the next morning. It is one continuous move, not a job split across two days, so your belongings are never left in storage overnight. The same fully insured, GPS-tracked crew and van stay with you from your old address to your new one.
Quiet, careful, and fully covered
Working after dark calls for a different pace. Our crews use protective blankets and rubber-wheeled trolleys to keep noise down in stairwells and shared hallways, and every job carries full goods-in-transit insurance from the first item loaded to the last item placed in your new home or office.

What an overnight move does to the next day
A night move buys you clear roads and easy parking, and it costs you a night of sleep. Plan for the second part as carefully as the first.
Everyone involved should treat the following day as a recovery day rather than an unpacking day, which means the essentials need to be reachable without opening twenty boxes: bedding, towels, kettle, chargers and whatever the children or pets need first. Label those boxes on the top and the side and have them loaded last so they come off first.
Utilities are the other thing that catches people out. Meter readings taken at two in the morning are fine, but a supplier who needs an appointment, or a broadband engineer, will still work daytime hours, so book those for the day after rather than the same morning.
If you have young children or animals, an overnight move usually works better when they spend the night somewhere else and arrive to a house that is already unloaded.
The buildings where a night move is the only option
For some addresses this is not a preference, it is the only legal window. Shops and units inside shopping centres are often barred from moving anything through public areas during trading hours. Offices in managed buildings frequently limit goods-lift use to outside the working day, and a lift booking is what the whole schedule hangs on.
Streets with daytime loading restrictions, including red routes in London, allow loading in the evening but not at midday, and the difference between the two is a penalty notice.
Restaurants and bars are a category of their own, because the equipment is heavy, the access is usually through a kitchen, and there is no daytime slot in which the business is closed.
If your address falls into any of these, check the exact permitted window with the building manager before you pick a date, and tell us what it is when you book.
Overnight Removals FAQs
Will an overnight move disturb my neighbours?
Our crews are trained to work quietly after dark. We use rubber-wheeled trolleys and furniture blankets to cut down on noise, and we avoid slamming doors or shouting across stairwells.
If you live in a flat or a terrace with shared walls, it is a good idea to let your immediate neighbours know the night before, but our team will already be working as quietly as the job allows.
Do I need permission from my landlord or building manager for a night move?
Check first if you rent or live in a managed block. Some buildings set concierge hours, lock the lift after a certain time, or restrict loading bay access overnight. Your tenancy agreement may also set quiet hours for communal areas. Tell us about any building rules when you book and we will plan the move around them.
Are my belongings secure during an overnight move?
Yes. An overnight removal with Giant Van runs as one continuous job, not a move split across several days with your things left in storage. The same insured crew and GPS-tracked van stay with you from your old address to your new one, and every job is covered by goods-in-transit insurance the whole time.
Which properties suit an overnight move best?
Flats with daytime lift or parking restrictions, homes on streets with residents' parking permits that ease up after a certain hour, and offices or shops that cannot afford to lose trading hours all suit a night move well.
If your building has a curfew or a strict no-noise policy after a certain time, check with the building manager before you book.
