Removals Across Every Corner of Bangor
Bangor sits on the south shore of Belfast Lough, just 13 miles east of Belfast along the A2. Since receiving city status in December 2022, it has grown as a residential hub for professionals who commute to Belfast by road or rail. Giant Van knows this city inside out.
We run removals across all Bangor neighbourhoods. Ballyholme, with its Victorian terraces and Edwardian semis near the esplanade, needs crews who can handle narrow front paths and on-street parking. Bloomfield, close to the Springhill retail area, has a mix of bungalows and modern estates with better driveway access. Groomsport, the quiet coastal village just east of the city, features elevated properties with stunning lough views but steep driveways that require careful loading.
Our teams also cover Kilcooley, Rathgael, Clandeboye and the new-build estates along the Bangor ring road. Each area presents different access challenges. Terraced streets in the town centre have parking restrictions under the 2024 Bangor Parking Order. Our drivers check restrictions before arrival and arrange bay suspensions when needed.
The Belfast to Bangor railway line runs every 20 minutes, making this corridor one of the busiest moving routes in Northern Ireland. We handle dozens of moves along this route every month. If you are relocating from Belfast to Bangor or moving within the city itself, Giant Van gets your belongings there safely and on time.
How Giant Van Compares to McGimpsey Removals in Bangor
McGimpsey Brothers Removals is a well-known Bangor company based at Enterprise Road, BT19.
They have operated for over 40 years and hold FIDI-FAIM accreditation for international moves. If you need to ship furniture overseas, they are a solid choice.
But most Bangor residents are not moving to another continent.
They are moving across town, shifting to Belfast or relocating from another part of Northern Ireland. For local and domestic moves, Giant Van offers distinct advantages.
Speed is the biggest difference.
McGimpsey removals Bangor typically requires advance booking with a home survey. Giant Van provides instant online quotes and same-day availability. You can book at 8am and have a van at your door by lunchtime.
Transparency is another.
Our app shows your quote upfront with no hidden fees. You see exactly what you pay before you confirm. GPS tracking lets you watch your van approach in real time, so you are never left guessing.
Pricing matters too.
Our Man and Van service starts from just £45 per hour. A full one-bedroom move costs between £250 and £400. McGimpsey focuses on premium, full-service relocations. Giant Van gives you the flexibility to choose exactly the level of service you need, from a single item delivery to a complete house move.
Both companies are fully insured.
The difference is that Giant Van puts modern technology in your hands, making the entire process faster and more straightforward. Call us on to see how we compare for your specific move.

5 Tips
It takes longer than you expect, uses more boxes than you bought and always reveals items you forgot you owned. Our bangor packing services take that burden off your shoulders entirely.
Our basic option provides quality boxes, bubble wrap and tape delivered to your door so you can pack at your own pace. Our partial packing service covers fragile and high-value items such as glassware, mirrors, artwork and electronics. Our full packing service means our crew handles everything from kitchen cupboards to wardrobe contents.
Many Ballyholme properties have loft conversions packed with stored items. Older terraces near Bangor Abbey have steep staircases and small landings. New builds around Clandeboye often have integrated appliances that need careful disconnection and wrapping.
Wardrobe boxes keep hanging clothes crease-free. Custom crating protects flat-screen televisions and framed artwork. Mattress covers stop damage during transit. Every item is labelled by room so unpacking at your new home is quick and organised.
We do. Book packing alongside your removal and save time on moving day. Everything arrives protected, labelled and ready to unpack.

Same-Day Removals for Last-Minute Bangor Moves
01
Property chains collapse.
Tenancy agreements end suddenly. Sometimes you need to move today, not next week. Giant Van offers same-day removals across Bangor and the wider North Down area.
02
Our fleet is positioned to respond quickly.
With vans regularly operating along the A2 Belfast to Bangor corridor, we can often have a crew at your address within hours of booking. The process is simple. Get an instant quote through our app or website, confirm the booking and track your assigned van via GPS as it heads to you.
03
Same-day service is available for all move sizes, though availability depends on the day.
Morning bookings have the highest chance of same-day completion. We recommend calling directly for urgent moves so our team can check live availability.
04
This speed sets Giant Van apart from traditional Bangor removal firms.
Most local companies, including established names, require surveys and advance scheduling. That works well for planned moves. It does not help when your landlord gives you 48 hours notice or a sale completes ahead of schedule.
05
Bangor has specific access considerations for fast moves.
Town centre streets around Main Street and Quay Street have daytime loading restrictions. The one-way system near the marina can slow transit if routes are not planned. Our drivers know these streets and plan efficient routes before they arrive.

Storage Solutions for Bangor Residents
Not every move goes straight from one property to another. Completion dates rarely align perfectly. Renovations overrun. Downsizers need time to decide what stays and what goes. Giant Van offers flexible storage to bridge the gap.
Our storage works on a simple model. We collect your items, transport them to our secure facility and hold them until you need them. No minimum contract. No penalty for early collection. You pay only for the space you use and the time you use it.
This is especially relevant in Bangor where the property market moves at its own pace. The Ards and North Down area has seen strong demand for family homes in Ballyholme and Groomsport. Buyers sometimes need to vacate their current property before their new one is ready. Short-term storage solves that problem.
Every stored item is fully insured while in our care. We inventory everything at collection so you have a complete record. When you are ready for delivery, we bring your items directly to your new Bangor address.
Our storage option also works well for Bangor residents who are renovating. The older properties around Ward Park and the Dufferin Avenue area often need modernisation. Clearing rooms of furniture before builders arrive protects your belongings from dust, paint and accidental damage.
Combine storage with our packing service for a complete solution. We pack your items professionally, transport them to storage and deliver them when your new home or renovation is ready. Call to discuss your storage requirements.
