Yes. We have extensive experience packing pre-loved, vintage and antique furniture collected from markets and charity shops across south-east London. Our packers assess each piece before choosing the correct wrap and support method. Solid wood, upholstered, glass-fronted and painted items all receive appropriate protection. Furniture blankets, corner protectors and custom foam inserts are used where needed.

We treat every item as if it were irreplaceable, because to you it often is.

We recommend booking at least two to three weeks ahead for moves during spring and summer, when demand across Lewisham is highest. For moves in autumn and winter, one week is usually sufficient. However, if your moving date is fixed, contact us as soon as possible. We maintain a waiting list and can sometimes accommodate last-minute bookings when cancellations arise.

Early booking also secures the most convenient time slot for your move.

A standard two-bedroom flat in Lewisham typically takes two to three hours for a two-person packing crew. A three-bedroom house with a full complement of furniture and personal belongings usually takes four to six hours. Larger properties or homes with significant collections of books, records, collectables or furniture second hand London finds may take a full day.

We give you a realistic time estimate during your free survey so you can plan accordingly.

Giant Van offers a box collection service once you have settled into your new home. We return to collect flat-packed boxes and any remaining bubble wrap, then sort materials for reuse or recycling.

This is an optional add-on service with a small additional fee, but many Lewisham customers find it extremely convenient — particularly if moving into a flat or smaller property where storage for empty boxes is limited. Just let us know when booking if you would like this included.
