What Our Packing Service Covers in Barking & Dagenham
Our packing teams work across all postcodes in the borough, including RM8, RM9, RM10 and RM13. We pack everything from a single room to an entire four-bedroom house. Every item gets wrapped properly before it goes in a box. Fragile items such as glassware, artwork and mirrors get double-layered bubble wrap. Clothes go into wardrobe boxes so they arrive crease-free. Flat-pack furniture is disassembled where needed and reassembled at the other end.
We label every box by room and contents. That makes unpacking in your new home much faster. Nothing gets buried at the bottom of a random box.
The service splits into two options. Full packing means we handle every single item in your home, from the kitchen cupboards to the loft. Fragile-only packing means you box most things yourself and we take care of the breakables. Both options include all materials. You do not need to source boxes or tape. We bring everything.
We also offer an unpacking service at your new address. Once the van is unloaded, our team places boxes in the right rooms, unpacks the contents and takes away all the packing waste. That saves you several hours of sorting on moving day.
Barking & Dagenham has a mix of Victorian terraced houses, 1970s council estates and newer riverside developments near the Thames. We are familiar with access on narrow streets like Becontree Avenue and the tight turning circles on some of the Becontree Estate roads. Our vehicles range from small transits to large Luton vans, so we always send the right size.

6 Tips
It has over 210,000 residents spread across a large area running from the Thames in the south to the A12 in the north. Moving here or out of here comes with specific challenges that a generic removal company often does not know how to handle.
Controlled Parking Zones operate on many residential streets, including large parts of Barking town centre around Station Parade and East Street. We apply for parking dispensations in advance where needed so our vans can park directly outside your property.
The A13 and A406 North Circular carry heavy traffic during school hours and rush periods. We plan routes around peak times and use our GPS tracking to reroute drivers if a delay builds up.
If something breaks during the move, you are covered. That matters when you have valuables in packed boxes.
If you need to move today, call and we will check availability straight away.
You are not sitting at home wondering when they will arrive. You know.

All Included
Packing for Flats and Houses on the Becontree Estate
The Becontree Estate in Dagenham is one of the largest public housing estates ever built in the UK.
It covers a huge area roughly bounded by Wood Lane, Heathway, Ballards Road and Ripple Road.
The estate contains thousands of semi-detached and terraced houses built in the 1920s.
Many have been extended or converted into flats over the decades.
Moving within or out of the Becontree Estate has its own quirks.
Roads on the estate are generally wide, which makes parking easier than in central Barking.
However, many properties have front gardens that have been converted to parking, which can affect access for a long wheelbase van.
We send a team that checks access in advance when you book.
The houses themselves tend to have steep staircases with tight turns at the top.
Wardrobes, sofas and bed frames often cannot make the corner without dismantling.
Our packers handle all of that.
We disassemble large items carefully, protect the walls with corner guards, and reassemble at the destination.
If you are moving from a house on the Becontree Estate to a flat near Barking station on the District line, or further into East London, we handle the full route.
We are based locally and know both sides of the move.
For anyone moving out of Barking & Dagenham entirely, whether to Essex, Kent or further across London, our service covers the same packing quality regardless of how long the journey is.
Prices simply reflect distance and time.

Packing for Barking Riverside and New-Build Developments
01
Barking Riverside is a large regeneration area in the south of the borough, running along the north bank of the Thames between RM9 and RM13.
Thousands of new homes have been built here since 2010, with more under construction. The development includes apartment blocks ranging from four to ten storeys, many with lifts.
02
Moving into or out of a Barking Riverside flat requires advance planning.
Lift reservations are often required by building management. Load bays are sometimes time-limited. Our team coordinates all of this before arrival so there are no delays on the day.
03
New-build flats tend to have good storage but smaller rooms than older Victorian properties.
That means more careful packing is needed to make sure items fit properly in the new space. Our packers think about the destination while they pack the origin. Boxes are sized and labelled to match where they are going.
04
The Overground extension to Barking Riverside opened in 2024, which has increased the area's popularity with young professionals and families moving from Central and East London.
We regularly pick up and drop off in this area and know the access arrangements for the main residential blocks.
05
If you are moving into a studio flat in the Waterside development or leaving a three-bedroom house further north in Chadwell Heath near the RM6 border, Giant Van provides the same level of care and the same transparent pricing.

What to Expect on Moving Day in Barking & Dagenham
Moving day in Barking & Dagenham runs smoothly when both sides are prepared. Here is what Giant Van does on the day so you know what to expect from arrival to handover.
Our team arrives at the agreed time. They carry out a quick walk-through of your property so they understand what needs packing and in what order. Heavy items like washing machines, dishwashers and furniture go last into the van so they come out first at the destination.
Packing starts systematically from the rooms you use least. Usually that means a spare bedroom or storage room first, then the main bedroom, then living room, and finally the kitchen because it holds the most fragile items. Kitchens take longest. A well-stocked kitchen in a three-bedroom Dagenham house can take two hours on its own.
Every box is sealed, labelled, and stacked in the van by weight. Heavy boxes go at the base. Light boxes and fragile items sit on top. Nothing is left loose.
At the destination, boxes are carried into the correct rooms based on the labels. Our team places furniture where you want it. If something needs reassembling, they do it before they leave.
The whole move for a two-bedroom property typically takes four to six hours, including travel. A three-bedroom house might take six to eight hours depending on how far the destination is and how many items there are. We give you a realistic time estimate in your quote so you can plan your day properly.
We do not rush. Everything that arrives in your new home should be in the same condition it left the old one.

Packing Supplies We Bring to Your Barking & Dagenham Home
9 Tips
You do not need to spend time or money sourcing boxes from a supermarket or ordering online. Here is exactly what we bring.
Double-walled construction means boxes do not collapse when stacked.
Your clothes hang directly into them from your wardrobe and arrive at the new home ready to hang again. No folding, no creasing.
Glassware is individually wrapped. Plates are wrapped in stacks of five or fewer. Ornaments and artwork get a double layer.
We use proper dispensers so the tape does not twist or catch.
Boxes containing fragile items are marked clearly on all four sides and the top.
This protects the surface and keeps the blanket in place during transit.
It is all included in the price you see in your quote.
Full Packing vs Fragile-Only Packing: Which Should You Choose?
4 Tips
You do not touch a single box. Everything is wrapped, labelled and loaded. Best for busy households, families with young children, or anyone who wants to arrive at the new home without having spent the week before packing. Also the right choice if you have a lot of fragile or high-value items throughout the property.
That means glassware, crockery, mirrors, framed artwork and anything else that needs wrapping. This option costs less and suits people who are well organised but want professional help with the items most likely to be damaged. All bubble wrap and packing paper for fragile items is still included in the price.
Both include GPS tracking, full insurance, and all packing materials for the items we handle. The difference is simply how much of the packing you do yourself.
Call 020 3129 6180 and describe your home. We will recommend the right level of service based on what you have.

No. Giant Van brings all packing materials to your door at no extra cost. That includes double-walled cardboard boxes in three sizes, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, tape and furniture blankets. Everything is included in your quote. You do not need to source or buy anything in advance.
How long does it take to pack a home in Barking & Dagenham?
A one-bedroom flat typically takes two to three hours to pack fully. A two-bedroom property takes three to five hours. A three-bedroom house can take five to seven hours depending on how much is in storage areas like lofts or garages. Kitchens take longest because of the number of fragile items. We tell you the estimated time in your quote.
Do you handle parking restrictions in Barking town centre?
Yes. Barking town centre and many surrounding streets operate Controlled Parking Zones. We apply for temporary parking dispensations in advance where your road requires one. This means our van can park directly outside your property without risk of a fine or having to carry items from a distance. Tell us your street when you book and we handle the rest.
Is the packing service insured?
Yes. Giant Van is fully insured for goods in transit. If any item is damaged during packing or moving, you are covered. Our packers are trained to handle fragile and high-value items carefully, but the insurance gives you a safety net. Details of coverage are available when you book or by calling .
Can you pack just the fragile items and leave the rest to me?
Yes. Our fragile-only packing option lets you box the bulk of your belongings yourself while our team takes care of glassware, crockery, artwork, mirrors and other breakables. This is a popular choice for people who want professional help with the risky items without paying for a full packing service. All materials for fragile items are still included.
