Student and Home Removals

Cambridge's residential streets vary enormously, and every neighbourhood has its own access challenges.

Romsey and Mill Road are grid-pattern Victorian terraces with kerbside parking only.

On move day, our team applies for a Cambridge City Council resident permit suspension in advance, so you are not competing with commuter parking outside your house on the big day.

Permit suspension applications in Cambridge require at least five working days' notice, so book early.

In Newnham, properties back onto the river meadows, and rear-access lanes are often too narrow for a full-sized lorry.

We use a 3.5-tonne transit-style van on those runs.

In Trumpington, the newer housing estates off Hauxton Road have wider roads but estate speed bumps that rule out top-heavy loads without proper securing straps, which we carry as standard.

The CB2 postcode covers Cherry Hinton and the southern city fringe, where two-bed houses are popular with young families.

A typical 2-bed removal in this area costs between £400 and £650 depending on how many floors and how far the stairs go.

For 3-bed properties across Arbury or King's Hedges in the north of the city, expect £650 to £900.

Every quote is itemised.

No hidden fuel levies, no extra charge for stairs.

Students moving in Cambridge have specific needs that general removal companies often get wrong.

The academic calendar sets fixed moving dates.

End of Michaelmas, Lent, and Easter terms creates sudden demand spikes in November, March, and June.

Book late, and you will struggle to find any removal company in Cambridge with availability.

Giant Van takes same-day bookings when we have capacity, and our app lets you lock in a slot in under three minutes.

Instant online quotes mean you know your price before you commit, with no waiting for a callback.

We cover short hops between student addresses, too.

Moving from digs in Petersfield to a shared house on Mill Road, or from a CB3 flat near the West Cambridge site to somewhere in Chesterton, is a job some companies won't take seriously.

We do.

A Man and Van at £45 per hour is a fair price for a one or two-hour job, and we bring the right trolleys and blankets as standard.

All our vehicles are fully insured, and your belongings are covered during transit.

No self-drive hire van.

No student trying to push a sofa down the stairs alone.

You book, we arrive, we move, you're done.

For larger student households, usually four or five-bed shared houses common in the CB4 and CB5 postcodes, a 3.5-tonne luton van crewed by two is the efficient option.
