Van and Driver Service Gravesend
Weekend Removals That Fit Your Schedule. Finding a reliable man with a van in Gravesend at the weekend used to mean long waiting lists and premium prices. Giant Van changes that.
We cover the whole Gravesend area on Saturdays and Sundays with no extra charge for weekend bookings, so you can move when it suits you, not when it suits us.
Gravesend is a market town in the Gravesham borough of north-west Kent, sitting directly opposite Tilbury on the north bank of the Thames. The town covers postcode districts DA11 and DA12 and has a population of around 55,000.
Key neighbourhoods include the town centre around the High Street and Windmill Street, the residential areas of Singlewell and Riverview Park to the south, Northfleet to the west, and the riverside developments near Gravesend Pier.
The town is served by the A2 and is close to the M25 at junction 2, making it accessible for removals into London, Essex via the Dartford Crossing, and the wider Kent area.
Weekend traffic is generally lighter than weekday commuter flow, though the Hive Leisure Park and retail areas can create localised delays on Saturday mornings.

A Closer Look at Gravesend Weekend Removals
We run regular weekend slots throughout Gravesend, from the town centre and Northfleet to Singlewell, Riverview Park, and out towards Chalk and Shorne.
If you are moving a full house or shifting a few large items, our drivers know the local roads well.
We work around the town's one-way systems and narrow terraced streets without adding time to your job.
Saturdays and Sundays are just as busy for us as weekdays, which means you get an experienced team rather than a junior crew drafted in for overtime.

Weekend Removal Pricing in Gravesend
Our pricing in Gravesend is based on vehicle size, number of crew members, and time taken. A Transit van with one driver starts from approximately £60 to £80 for the first hour. A Luton box van with tail lift and two crew starts from around £90 to £110 per hour.
For complete house moves we provide a fixed-price quote after a brief call or video survey, so you know exactly what you will pay. Fuel is part of the mileage rate, and stairs at a standard property are priced into the quote itself, with no separate weekend surcharge on top.
Additional services such as packing assistance or split-load collections are quoted separately. We charge in 30-minute increments after the first hour for smaller jobs, which keeps costs fair when a move finishes slightly ahead of schedule.
All prices include a fully insured crew, van, and moving blankets. Packing services available as add-ons.

How to Choose Your Gravesend Weekend Removals Date
Man With a Van vs Full Removal Company in Gravesend
Gravesend sits on the south bank of the Thames in north-west Kent, roughly 22 miles from central London.
The town is well connected via the A2, M25 junction 2, and Gravesend railway station, which runs fast services into London Bridge and St Pancras.
For removals, this means our drivers can reach you quickly from our nearby base and can plan efficient routes if you are moving locally within DA11 and DA12 postcodes or heading further afield into Kent or Essex via the Dartford Crossing.
Weekend traffic in Gravesend town centre can build around the Hive Leisure Park and along Windmill Street, so we factor that into our timing.
For moves that include the Dartford Crossing, we handle the DART Charge account on our fleet vehicles so there are no unexpected tolls added to your bill.
Many Gravesend residents moving at the weekend are working around busy weekday schedules, school runs, or tenancy end dates that fall on a Saturday.
We understand that flexibility matters.
If your move runs slightly over the estimated time, we charge in 30-minute increments rather than rounding up to the next full hour.
We also offer a split-load option where we collect from two addresses in Gravesend or nearby areas such as Northfleet or Dartford and deliver to one destination, which is useful for couples moving in together or families consolidating belongings from storage.
Ask about split-load pricing when you enquire.
