How to Pack a 3 Bedroom House Efficiently
Packing a 3 bedroom house efficiently starts with a clear system before you open a single box.
Begin in the rooms you use least: spare bedrooms, loft storage, and under-stair cupboards.
These areas typically hold seasonal items, books, and rarely used kitchenware that can be sealed and stacked early without disrupting daily life.
Work towards the rooms you use daily, finishing the kitchen and main bedroom last.
Giant Van recommends a room-by-room approach rather than packing by category.
Label every box on two sides and on top with the destination room and a brief contents list.
Colour-coded tape speeds up unloading.
A 3 bedroom house packed this way by a professional team typically takes 6 to 8 hours.
If you are doing it yourself, allow 3 to 4 full days.
The biggest time loss is underpacking boxes, leaving dead space that makes them harder to stack and increases the risk of items shifting in transit.
Fill every box firmly, use packing paper to fill gaps, and seal with double tape on the base before loading.

What Van Size Does a 3 Bedroom House Need?
A 3 bedroom house typically needs a Luton box van with a 600 cubic foot load capacity for a standard move.
Properties with heavy furniture, a loft clearance, or garden equipment may need two vehicles or a larger crew-cab with a box trailer.
Giant Van assesses load volume during the quoting process.
A typical 3 bed load weighs 2,000 to 2,500 kg and includes 3 beds, wardrobes, a sofa, dining furniture, kitchen appliances, and 60 to 80 packed boxes.
We use load restraint bars and furniture blankets to prevent shifting.
Most 3 bedroom moves complete in one Luton load if the property has been packed correctly beforehand.
