Budget Removals by Giant Van

Perth's street layout creates specific challenges that removal companies from outside the area often underestimate.

The city centre grid around High Street and St John's Place is pedestrianised on weekdays between 10am and 4pm. If you're moving from a flat above a High Street shop, we schedule the van arrival before 9:30am or after 4:30pm to avoid fines and delays.

The Tay Street corridor runs along the western riverbank and carries through traffic most of the day.

Properties on Tay Street itself have no dedicated loading bays. We use a short-stop exemption window early in the morning and plan vehicle positioning against the kerb where Council permits allow. Customers in the Queen's Bridge area should note that parking is metered and enforcement runs until 6pm on weekdays.

North Muirton, one of Perth's larger residential estates in the PH1 3 postcode, has wide roads but speed tables on most through routes.

Our vans navigate these without issue, but customers booking pianos or heavy safes should alert us at quote stage so we bring correct trolley equipment for the ramps. Cherrybank, in the PH2 0 area, has longer driveways and larger gardens, which generally makes access easier, but some of the newer cul-de-sac developments have turning-circle constraints for vehicles over 7.5 metres.

Kinnoull, sitting on the hillside above the A85 Dundee Road, has steep gradients on Corsiehill Road and Manse Road.

Our crews use two-person carries on stairs and slopes. We do not use single-operative shortcuts on gradient jobs. Pitcullen Crescent and the streets off Dunkeld Road in the Hillyland area have on-street permit zones. We advise customers to contact Perth and Kinross Council at least five working days before the move to request a temporary loading bay suspension if the street warrants it. We can provide a letter of support for that application if needed.

Giant Van covers all residential and commercial postcodes across Perth and the wider Perthshire area.

Here is a breakdown of the main areas we serve regularly.

City centre and riverside: PH1 5 covers the High Street, South Street, and Tay Street corridor.

We handle frequent moves in and out of converted tenement flats above commercial units in this zone. The riverside apartments near South Inch and North Inch are regular bookings, particularly for young professionals relocating for work at NHS Tayside or Perth College UHI.

North Perth: The PH1 3 postcode covers North Muirton and Tulloch, two of the city's largest council-built residential estates.

Move volumes here peak during spring quarter days in May. We handle a high proportion of part-furnished moves in this area, typically man and van jobs at the £45 to £200 range.

West Perth: PH2 0 covers Cherrybank and Viewlands.

Properties here are predominantly detached and semi-detached, with larger gardens and good vehicle access. Full house removals in this area typically run between £350 and £600 depending on the number of bedrooms and volume of garden furniture.

Kinnoull and Barnhill: PH2 7 covers the hillside suburb of Kinnoull and the Barnhill area near the A85.

Gradient access applies here. We rate these moves with a carry supplement where stair or slope conditions exceed two flights.

Surrounding towns: We serve Scone (PH2 6), Bridge of Earn (PH2 9), Stanley (PH1 4), Almondbank (PH1 3), and Methven (PH1 3).

Long-distance moves from Perth to Edinburgh (A90/M90), Glasgow (A9/M9), or Dundee (A90) are available from £500.
