They bring every material with them and leave your home neat, clearly labelled, and ready for the removal vehicle the following morning.

Moving Guides and Advice
Packing Services for House Moves in Rushey Mead, Leicester — FAQs
How much does a packing service for moving house in Rushey Mead cost?
The cost depends on the size of your property and the volume of belongings. A typical two-bedroom house packing service in Rushey Mead starts from around £300 to £500, while a four-bedroom full pack can range from £600 upwards. All materials are included in the price.
Giant Van provides a fixed-price written quote after a free home survey, so you know exactly what you will pay with no surprises on moving day.
How long does a full packing service take?
Most two to three-bedroom homes in Rushey Mead can be fully packed in four to six hours by a team of two professional packers. Larger properties or homes with significant loft or garage contents may require a full day or two-day pack.
We agree the timeline with you in advance during the home survey so you can plan your schedule around the work.
Do I need to be at home while the packers work?
You do not need to be present for the entire packing session, but we do ask that someone is at the property at the start and end of the job. You can show our team any items that need special attention, confirm which rooms to prioritise, and check the finished result before signing off.
Some customers leave us with a key and return at the end of the day, which works well for those who need to carry on working.
Can you move hot tubs in Leicester?
Yes. Hot tub delivery to Leicester and hot tub delivery in Leicester are services Giant Van provides regularly. We have the right equipment and experienced crew to drain, wrap, move, and reposition hot tubs safely at both the collection and delivery address. We assess access, weight, and positioning in advance so there are no surprises on the day.
Message us in the live chat to discuss your specific hot tub model and site details.
What happens if something gets damaged during packing?
Giant Van carries full goods-in-transit insurance that covers items packed by our team. In the unlikely event of damage, you report it on the inventory sheet at delivery or within the notified claim window. Our team leader documents any pre-existing damage before packing begins, so there is a clear record throughout. Claims are handled promptly and fairly.
Our careful packing methods mean damage claims are extremely rare.
Do you offer packing services in Evington, Leicester?
Yes. Alongside Rushey Mead, we cover packing services in Evington, Leicester and across the full Leicester area including Birstall, Belgrave, Thurmaston, Oadby, Wigston, and beyond. Our crews operate across the LE postcode range for both local moves and long-distance relocations.
If you are unsure whether we cover your area, message us in the live chat or fill in our online form and we will confirm within the hour.
Can I supply my own boxes and have your team do the packing?
Yes. While we recommend using our double-walled removal boxes for the best protection, we can work with boxes you already have. Our team will inspect them for structural integrity and pack them in the same careful way as our own materials.
Bear in mind that if customer-supplied boxes fail in transit and cause damage, cover under our goods-in-transit insurance may be affected. We will advise you honestly during the survey.
How far in advance should I book a packing service in Rushey Mead?
We recommend booking three to four weeks ahead, especially for weekend moves between May and September when demand is highest across Leicester. End-of-month dates are also busy as many lease and completion dates fall then. For mid-week moves or quieter periods, a week to ten days is usually sufficient.
We do accept last-minute bookings when availability allows, so it is always worth calling even at short notice.
