Weekend Moves We Cover in Reading
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Weekend Removals Made Simple in Reading
Reading sits at the junction of the M4 and A33, which sounds convenient until you hit weekend retail traffic around The Oracle or the Forbury Retail Park.
Our drivers know which routes to avoid at 9am on a Saturday.
We handle parking suspensions on roads around the station quarter, and our team is used to the narrow Victorian terraces in the Newtown area where standard lorries cannot turn.
Two movers, a full-size van, and proper moving blankets — that is what turns up on your doorstep.
Reaching Your Reading Property for Weekend Removals
Reading removals at weekends carry the same base rates as weekday bookings.
There is no Saturday surcharge.
What does change is availability — weekend slots go within days of a month-end date.
We price by job size and distance, not by the hour, so you know the total before the van arrives.
A one-bedroom flat move within Reading typically runs £149-£195.
A three-bedroom house to or from the RG1-RG7 postcodes comes in at £295-£450 depending on access.
Need packing materials?
We supply double-walled boxes and wardrobe cartons at cost.
Weekend parking permits for Reading Borough Council roads take 5 working days to arrange — we chase that for you if you book with enough notice.

Weekend Removals In and Out of Reading
Reading has several removal companies operating across RG postcodes, ranging from national chains to local sole traders.
National chains carry brand recognition but often dispatch agency staff on weekends and may sub-contract weekend work.
Sole traders offer lower prices but typically carry limited insurance and operate without goods-in-transit cover.
On price, our Reading house removals start from £149 — in line with local operators and significantly below national chains whose weekend rates often exceed £250 for a one-bedroom property.
On coverage, we reach every RG postcode from RG1 to RG31.
On availability, we operate Saturdays and Sundays without a surcharge.

Moving Guides and Advice
Weekend Removals Reading — FAQs
Which removals companies Reading offer weekend availability?
Giant Van operates seven days a week across all Reading postcodes. Most removals companies reading operate Monday to Friday, which leaves weekend movers with limited choice. Book at least two weeks ahead for Saturday slots near month-end, as these go quickly. Message us in the live chat to check current availability.
Do you handle house clearance Reading uk alongside a removal?
Yes. House clearance reading uk is something we combine with removal jobs regularly. If you need unwanted furniture, white goods, or garden items cleared before or during your move, we can take them to the Reading Household Waste Recycling Centre on Island Road or arrange a skip permit. Prices for combined jobs start from £199.
Which removal companies in Reading operate on Sundays?
Giant Van operates seven days a week across all Reading RG postcodes, including Sundays. Most removal companies in Reading limit weekend service to Saturdays only. Giant Van takes Sunday bookings at the same rate as any other day — no Sunday premium applies. Message us in the live chat to check current Sunday availability for your preferred date.
Sunday slots in Reading are generally easier to book than Saturdays at short notice.
How far in advance should I book weekend removals in Reading?
For Saturday slots in Reading during month-end weeks, book at least two to three weeks ahead. Mid-month weekends and Sundays can usually be booked with one to two weeks' notice. Same-day weekend availability is occasionally possible — message us in the live chat on the morning to check.
Giant Van holds confirmed slots for 24 hours while you finalise your dates.
Do Reading removal companies charge more for Saturdays?
Giant Van does not charge a weekend premium for Saturday or Sunday moves in Reading. Some removal companies in Reading add a surcharge of 10 to 20 percent for weekend bookings. Our pricing is consistent across all days: one-bedroom Reading properties from £149, three-bedroom houses from £295.
The only variable is availability — weekends book up faster, so earlier booking secures the same price.
Can a removal company in Reading help with packing as well?
Yes. Giant Van offers a packing service alongside the Reading removal for an additional charge. We supply double-walled boxes, wardrobe cartons, and packing paper. A standard two-bedroom property takes approximately three to four hours to pack before loading begins. If you prefer to pack yourself, we supply materials at cost.
Let us know at the time of booking if you need packing included so we can allocate the right time slot.
