Second Hand Sofa Delivery and Furniture Removals in Edinburgh
Edinburgh's tenement flats, Georgian townhouses, and city-centre offices all come with their own delivery challenges. Narrow closes, steep stone stairs, and restricted parking on streets like Leith Walk (EH6) and Grassmarket (EH1) demand a crew that knows what they are doing.
Giant Van handles second hand sofa delivery, office clearances, and full furniture disposal across Edinburgh, from the New Town to Morningside. We offer same-day bookings, instant online quotes, and real-time GPS tracking on every job. Message us in the live chat or book through the app in under two minutes.

Your Furniture Delivery Choices in Edinburgh
Buying a second hand sofa in Edinburgh is straightforward. Getting it from a seller in Portobello or Stockbridge into your flat on Bruntsfield Place is a different matter. Most Edinburgh properties above ground-floor level sit behind a common stair accessed through a heavy close door.
Wide three-seater sofas rarely pass through these openings without tilting, disassembling, or using a rope hoist from an upper window.
Giant Van crews arrive with the right kit: moving blankets, furniture straps, corner guards, and the knowledge to angle a sofa through a tight turn on a stone stairwell. We cover all Edinburgh postcodes, including EH1 through EH17 and out to the EH20s.
Our second hand sofa delivery service works for private buyers collecting from Facebook Marketplace sellers, charity furniture shops such as those on Gorgie Road (EH11), and auction house collections from Dowell's on George Street (EH2). We also move sofas between businesses for office reception refurbs and hotel furniture upgrades.
Pricing is simple. Man and Van starts from £54 per hour. A single sofa delivery within Edinburgh city centre typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours, including loading and drop-off. Booking through the Giant Van app takes two minutes and locks in your price immediately. Every charge, including access, distance and clean-air zones, is shown in your quote before you pay.

Edinburgh: Tight Access for Furniture Delivery Sorted
Edinburgh's office market runs from converted Georgian townhouses on Charlotte Square (EH2) to modern open-plan floors in the Quartermile development (EH3) and business parks along the City Bypass near Straiton.
Each building type presents its own access constraints. Charlotte Square buildings often have no lift and restrict parking to loading bays on St Andrew Square.
Quartermile has a service entrance on Lauriston Place that must be pre-booked.
We know these sites and plan accordingly.
Giant Van provides office removals in Edinburgh for businesses of all sizes.
We move desks, ergonomic chairs, server racks, filing cabinets, breakout furniture, and reception pieces. Our team wraps every item in transit blankets and uses floor-runner mats to protect expensive flooring in your old and new premises.
We handle out-of-hours moves to minimise disruption.
Many Edinburgh offices in the EH2 and EH3 postcode districts are in shared buildings where daytime moves affect other tenants. We regularly carry out evening and weekend relocations at no premium uplift, working from a detailed item list so nothing is lost in transit.
For larger office moves, we provide a dedicated move manager who surveys the premises, plans the truck loading order, and coordinates with building management on both ends.
A two-bed equivalent office (around 15 desks) runs £400 to £650. A 25-desk floor in a multi-storey building typically falls in the £650 to £900 range. Call for a site-specific quote.

Work Out Your Moving CostFurniture Delivery Prep From Our Edinburgh Crews
First, on-street parking is heavily controlled. Double yellow lines run the length of Princes Street (EH2), Victoria Street (EH1), and most of the Royal Mile (EH1). Loading is only permitted in marked bays, many of which are time-restricted.
This is narrower than many people expect. Our crew measures items before booking where possible, and we carry a tape measure on every job to assess on arrival.
Large wardrobes and bookcases often need to travel on their side or be dismantled. Our crews are trained in basic flat-pack disassembly and reassembly at no extra charge for standard furniture.
Same-day delivery is available for bookings confirmed before 10am. Book via the Giant Van app or call.

Here Is What Furniture Delivery in Edinburgh Costs
Furniture disposal in Edinburgh is more controlled than many clients expect.
The City of Edinburgh Council accepts large items at the Seafield Waste and Recycling Centre on Seafield Road (EH6) and at the Easter Road Household Waste Recycling Centre (EH7).
However, these sites require residents to book a slot in advance, and they do not accept commercial waste from businesses without a trade waste account.
Giant Van handles furniture disposal in Edinburgh for both private clients and commercial operators.
We load and remove unwanted sofas, mattresses, wardrobes, office desks, and kitchen units.
Where items are in reasonable condition, we sort them for donation to Edinburgh charities including those operating in the Leith and Craigmillar (EH16) areas.
Items that cannot be reused are disposed of at licensed waste transfer stations, and we carry the Waste Carrier Licence documentation to prove it.
For office furniture disposal, we provide a written disposal certificate that your facilities team can attach to an asset register.
This is standard practice for firms dealing with leased equipment or furniture under a corporate sustainability policy.
Disposal is priced per cubic metre of waste and the number of crew members required.
A single sofa runs from £60 to £90 depending on size and access.
A full office clearance for a 15-desk floor is quoted on survey.

Straightforward Furniture Delivery Booking in Edinburgh
- 01
Knowing Edinburgh's access conditions before arrival saves time and money.
Here is what our drivers deal with regularly across the city's main commercial and residential zones.
- 02
EH1 (Old Town, Grassmarket, Canongate): The Grassmarket allows loading on the south side early morning before 8am.
The Royal Mile is pedestrianised between 7am and 7pm during festival season (August). Deliveries to closes off the High Street require a crew member to walk items from the nearest available loading point.
- 03
EH2 (New Town, George Street, Charlotte Square): George Street has shared loading bays that fill quickly before 9am.
Charlotte Square requires a police road closure permit for large vehicles. We advise scheduling EH2 deliveries for before 8am or after 6pm.
- 04
EH3 (Bruntsfield, Marchmont, Tollcross, Fountainbridge): Bruntsfield Place and Marchmont Road have residents' parking enforcement.
We apply for a temporary parking suspension permit for moves requiring a van outside for more than 30 minutes. Permit applications take 5 working days.
- 05
EH6 (Leith, Portobello Road end): The Shore and Commercial Street in Leith have active traffic management but reasonable loading provisions.
Duke Street (EH6) is narrower and requires a smaller van configuration.
- 06
EH10 (Morningside, Bruntsfield): Morningside Road has pay-and-display bays that our drivers use for short deliveries.
Side streets off Colinton Road (EH10) are tight for anything larger than a Luton van.
- 07
EH16 (Liberton, Craigmillar): Good vehicle access with wide residential roads.
No significant restrictions outside school-run hours.

We cover all Edinburgh postcodes and can reach most city-centre addresses within two hours of booking confirmation.
This service is most used by three types of client.
Property managers furnishing a short-let flat in the New Town before a guest checks in.
Interior designers receiving a delivery at a client property in Stockbridge (EH3) or Inverleith (EH3) that needs to be placed and styled the same afternoon.
And businesses replacing a broken piece of office furniture that is causing a workflow problem on a specific day.
For same-day bookings, the Giant Van app shows real-time crew availability and live price estimates before you commit.
There is no premium charge for same-day service.
You pay the standard Man and Van hourly rate from £48, or a flat-rate fixed price for common job types like sofa deliveries and single-room office moves.
Our same-day Edinburgh fleet includes Luton vans with tail lifts for heavy items, long-wheelbase transits for standard furniture runs, and smaller panel vans for single-item collections in the congested EH1 and EH2 postcodes where parking is most limited.

Moving Guides and Advice
Second Hand Sofa Delivery and Furniture Removals in Edinburgh — FAQs
How much does second hand sofa delivery cost in Edinburgh?
Second hand sofa delivery in Edinburgh starts from £54 per hour on the Man and Van rate. Most single-sofa deliveries within the city take 1.5 to 2 hours with two crew members, putting the total between £90 and £120. Access difficulties such as upper-floor tenements without a lift or congested postcode parking may add time.
Get a fixed price through the Giant Van app before booking.
Do you deliver furniture to tenement flats in Edinburgh?
Yes. Tenement flats are our most common delivery type in Edinburgh. Our crews carry moving straps, corner protectors, and furniture blankets to navigate tight stone stairwells and close doors. We assess each job before quoting and flag any items that may need disassembly. We cover all Edinburgh tenement postcodes, including EH1, EH3, EH9, EH10, EH11, and EH16.
Can you collect furniture from a Facebook Marketplace seller in Edinburgh?
Yes. We collect from private sellers across Edinburgh, including Portobello, Stockbridge, Leith, and Corstorphine. You provide the collection address and your delivery address, and we handle both ends. This works for sofas, wardrobes, beds, and dining furniture. Same-day collection is available when you book before 10am on or through the Giant Van app.
Do you offer furniture disposal in Edinburgh for businesses?
Yes. We clear office furniture, including desks, chairs, filing cabinets, and reception pieces, and dispose of it responsibly at licensed Edinburgh waste facilities. We provide a written disposal certificate for your asset register. Usable items are sorted for local charity donation where possible. Disposal is priced per cubic metre of waste. Call for a commercial clearance quote.
How do you handle parking in Edinburgh city centre during a furniture delivery?
Our drivers know Edinburgh's loading bay locations across EH1, EH2, and EH3. For longer jobs on controlled streets such as Heriot Row or George Street, we apply for a temporary parking suspension permit from the City of Edinburgh Council, which takes five working days. We advise scheduling city-centre deliveries before 8am or after 6pm to avoid peak restriction enforcement.
Do you do office removals in Edinburgh with out-of-hours availability?
Yes. We carry out evening and weekend office removals in Edinburgh at no premium rate uplift. This suits businesses in shared buildings around Charlotte Square, Quartermile, and St Andrew Square where daytime moves disrupt other tenants. We work from a detailed item list prepared during a free pre-move survey.
Start a live chat to discuss out-of-hours availability for your Edinburgh office move.
Is my furniture insured during delivery?
Yes. All items carried by Giant Van are covered by goods-in-transit insurance as standard. This applies to every job, including single-sofa deliveries, full flat removals, and office relocations. You do not need to arrange separate cover. Our insurance documentation is available on request if your business requires it for a corporate move approval process.
Can I book same-day furniture delivery in Edinburgh?
Yes. Same-day furniture delivery is available across Edinburgh seven days a week. Book through the Giant Van app or message us before 10am for guaranteed same-day service. The app shows real-time crew availability and confirms your slot within 15 minutes. No same-day premium applies. You pay the standard hourly or fixed-price rate depending on the job type.
