The town connects directly to the A1(M) and A19, making access straightforward for removals heading into Newcastle, Durham, or Northumberland.
Giant Van serves all Washington districts and regularly works alongside clients moving to and from properties near the Galleries shopping centre, Washington Old Hall, and the business parks on the town's industrial fringe.

Our packing team brings all materials to your door and can pack an entire three-bedroom house in a single day. Packing can be booked as a standalone service or as part of a combined pack-and-move package.
We also supply boxes and materials if you prefer to pack yourself.
How much do home removals in Newcastle cost from Washington?
Prices depend on the volume of your belongings, the distance of your move, and any additional services such as packing or storage. A typical two-bedroom move from Washington to Newcastle city centre starts from around £350 to £500. Larger homes or moves requiring full packing will cost more.
Giant Van provides fixed-price quotes so there are no hidden charges on move day. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific move.
Can Giant Van help with house clearance in Ashington, Northumberland?
Yes, we cover Ashington and the surrounding Northumberland area for house clearance alongside our Washington and Newcastle removals work. We remove all types of household items, furniture, and general waste, and we sort items for donation, recycling, or disposal. Our clearance team is licensed for waste removal and treats all properties with respect, particularly those being cleared following a bereavement.
Prices are quoted per job after a brief assessment of the property.
How far in advance should I book removals in Washington?
We recommend booking at least four to six weeks ahead for weekend moves, particularly between May and September when demand is highest. Midweek moves often have more flexibility and can sometimes be arranged within a week or two. If your move is urgent, contact us directly as we occasionally have last-minute availability.
Securing your date early guarantees your chosen slot and gives you time to arrange packing materials if needed.
Do you provide packing materials to Washington addresses?
Yes. Giant Van supplies double-walled boxes, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, tape, mattress bags, and sofa covers for delivery to Washington and the wider Newcastle area. Materials are available to order alongside your removal or as a standalone supply order. We can also collect any unused boxes after your move.
All our boxes are sturdy enough for stacking in a removal vehicle and suitable for short-term storage.
Is my furniture insured during a removal from Washington?
Yes. Giant Van carries comprehensive goods-in-transit insurance on every job, covering your belongings from the moment we load them at your Washington property until they are placed in your new home. Our standard cover handles most household goods and furniture.
If you have high-value items such as antiques, fine art, or specialist equipment, let us know when booking so we can confirm the appropriate cover level applies to your move.
Can you move a piano or gym equipment from a Washington property?
Yes. Giant Van regularly moves pianos, gym equipment, large safes, and other heavy or awkward items in the Washington and Newcastle area. We carry specialist equipment including piano boards, stair walkers, and heavy-duty straps. For particularly large or valuable items we may conduct a pre-move survey to assess access routes, staircase widths, and any potential obstacles.
Please mention specialist items when requesting your quote so we can allocate the right team and equipment.
Do you offer storage alongside removals in Washington?
Yes. If you need a gap between moving out of your Washington property and into your new home, Giant Van can arrange secure storage. Items are loaded into sealed containers and stored in a monitored facility. Storage is available from a single week up to several months.
We deliver your items from storage to your new address when you are ready. Combining storage with your removal is more cost-effective than arranging separate storage and another van.
