Student Housing We Move
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
What You Can Expect From Student Removals University College London
UCL is one of London's biggest universities, with students living across Bloomsbury, Fitzrovia, King's Cross, and Camden.
Every September and June, thousands of students move into and out of halls and private rentals.
Giant Van is built for exactly this kind of move.
We offer a Man & Van service from £54 per hour.
That suits most student moves where you have a few boxes, a mattress, and a desk.
For a typical student room or studio flat, you are usually done within two to three hours.
We bring the van, the muscle, and the moving equipment.
You just need to be ready.
Our drivers are familiar with the roads around Gower Street, Torrington Place, and Euston Road.
We know which streets have loading bays and which ones require a quick call to the local council for a temporary parking suspension.
We handle that for you where needed, so your move runs on time.
Many UCL students book us at short notice.
Our app lets you get an instant quote and confirm a booking in under five minutes.
All vehicles are GPS-tracked, so you can see your van en route.
We are fully insured, which matters when your laptop and textbooks are in the back.
If you are moving from halls to a shared house or heading home at the end of term, we make the process straightforward.
How We Manage Student Removals University College London Access
London mattress removal is one of our most requested services around Bloomsbury and the surrounding streets.
Students finishing a tenancy, academics leaving university accommodation, and families clearing a property all face the same problem: a mattress you cannot take with you and cannot leave behind.
Councils in Camden and Islington charge for bulky waste collection, and the wait can be over a week.
Giant Van offers same-day London mattress removal so you are not stuck with an oversized item blocking your hallway or getting a bill from your landlord.
Our team collects single, double, king, and super-king mattresses from flats, houses, and university halls.
We carry the mattress down the stairs, load it into the van, and take it away responsibly. We aim to divert waste from landfill wherever possible by working with local recycling and donation partners.
The process is simple.
Book online or call and tell us your address and the size of the mattress. We give you a clear price upfront. No surprises. Our vans operate across North London, so we can usually reach you within a few hours.
If you are clearing a room quickly before handing back keys, this is the fastest and most reliable way to get it done.
Many students book mattress removal alongside a general house clearance for a better combined rate.
