Professional Packing Services by Giant Van

Newcastle is not a single-size city.

A flat on the Quayside NE1 has different access challenges to a Victorian terrace in Heaton NE6 or a semi-detached in Gosforth NE3. Giant Van teams know these streets. We have packed up homes on Sandyford Road NE2, navigated the one-way system around Northumberland Street, and worked in buildings along the Quayside where loading bays are shared and parking permits are required in advance.

In Jesmond NE2, residential parking zones mean our van needs a pre-booked bay or an early start before restrictions apply at 9am.

We factor this into your quote and arrival time so there are no surprises on moving day. In Byker NE6, some streets have steep gradients and narrow access. Our crew carries equipment to handle this safely without damaging walls or doorframes.

City centre apartments in NE1 often have service lift access only, with strict booking windows managed by building management.

We confirm these details before arrival so the day runs to schedule.

We cover all main Newcastle postcodes including NE1, NE2, NE3, NE4, NE5, NE6, and NE7.

We also serve surrounding areas including Gosforth, Walker, Fenham, and Benwell. If you are unsure whether we cover your street, call and we will confirm within minutes.

Not everything packs the same way.

Giant Van packers are trained to handle items that require extra care, including antiques, large mirrors, oil paintings, electronics, vinyl collections, and fine china.

For antiques and artwork, we use bespoke wrapping with multiple layers of acid-free tissue and foam before boxing.

If an item is too large or too irregularly shaped for a standard box, we build custom crating on site. We do this regularly for clients leaving Georgian townhouses near Grainger Town NE1 who own period furniture that needs proper protection.

Electronics are wrapped in anti-static foam and packed with desiccant sachets to prevent moisture damage during transit.

We disconnect and label all cables before packing so reassembly at the other end is straightforward.

For wine and glass collections, we use specialist wine cell boxes with individual compartments.

Bottles travel upright and padded.

If you have a particularly high-value item, tell us when you book.

We will confirm the right packing method and any additional cost for specialist materials. Everything we handle is covered under our insurance, but declaring high-value items in advance means we can ensure appropriate protection and documentation before we start.

Our crew takes photographs of fragile items before wrapping them.

This protects you and us if any question arises about pre-existing condition.
