What Edinburgh Can Expect From House Removals
When it comes to Granton Office Removals Edinburgh, Giant Van offers a full range of removal services for residents and businesses throughout Edinburgh. Our core service is whole-house removals, where a crew of two or three operatives loads your belongings into a curtain-sided or Luton van, transports them to your new address, and unloads into the rooms you specify.
Prices for house removals start at £250 and reach £850 for larger four-bedroom properties or long-distance runs.
For smaller moves, our man-and-van service suits single rooms, studio flats, or office equipment runs. Rates begin at £54 per hour, rising to around £300 for a full day with two operatives. Office removals attract a separate rate structure, starting at £300 and capped at £600 for most commercial moves within the Edinburgh boundary.
We also move pianos from £150, covering uprights and baby grands from tenements in Stockbridge to ground-floor offices near Leith Walk.
All bookings include packing blankets, furniture straps, and basic floor protection at no extra cost. Dismantling and reassembly of flat-pack furniture is available on request. Our vehicles carry goods-in-transit insurance, so your belongings are covered from the moment we load to the moment we deliver.
We do not operate as a broker: the crew who quotes your job is the crew who turns up on the day.
Route Knowledge for Edinburgh House Removals
For Whitburn Office Removals Edinburgh, Edinburgh presents specific logistical challenges that removal companies unfamiliar with the city regularly underestimate.
The New Town grid around Broughton Street and Dundas Street has controlled parking zones (CPZs) in force from 8:30am to 6:30pm, Monday to Saturday.
Without a parking suspension, a 7.5-tonne removal lorry cannot legally stop long enough to load a two-bedroom flat.
Giant Van arranges temporary traffic regulation orders (TTROs) on your behalf when you book at least five working days in advance. The council fee is passed on at cost, typically £60 to £90 for one bay for one day.
In the Old Town, streets such as Victoria Street, Candlemaker Row, and the closes running off the Royal Mile are either too narrow for large vehicles or pedestrianised entirely.
We use Luton vans for these jobs and plan secondary access from Cowgate or George IV Bridge where needed.
For tenement flats above the second floor with no lift, such as those on Bruntsfield Place or Warrender Park Road, we add a stair-carry surcharge of £30 per floor per half-load.
This is quoted upfront, never added on arrival.
South Edinburgh business parks near Straiton and the city bypass (A720) have straightforward HGV access, and we schedule office moves for early morning starts to beat the rush-hour queues on the Sheriffhall roundabout.
Edinburgh Removals Pricing Guide
Giant Van charges fixed prices based on property size, crew requirements, and distance. All prices below include the standard two-person crew, a fully insured vehicle, and packing blankets. VAT is included. There are no hidden add-ons for the Edinburgh area.
Man and Van: £45 to £300. Suited to single rooms, studio flats, or office equipment runs. Price depends on hours worked and crew size.
House Removals: £250 to £850. Covers one-bedroom flats through to four-bedroom family homes. Price varies by floor count, distance, and access conditions.
Office Removals: £300 to £600. Fixed-price commercial moves within the Edinburgh boundary. Out-of-hours and weekend slots available.
Piano Removals: from £150. Upright and baby grand pianos moved across Edinburgh. Specialist strapping and crew training included.
Parking suspension applications are charged at cost (typically £60 to £90 per bay per day). Storage, full-packing services, and long-distance surcharges are quoted separately. Message us in the live chat for a written quote tailored to your move.
All prices include a fully insured crew, van, and moving blankets. Packing services available as add-ons.
Work Out Your Moving CostHouse Removals Prep From Our Edinburgh Crews
Book parking suspensions early. Edinburgh City Council requires five working days' notice for a TTRO. If you are moving from or to EH1, EH3, or EH9, assume you will need one and apply the moment your completion date is confirmed.
Tenements in EH10 and EH11 often have three flights with tight landings. Tell your removal company the exact floor number and whether there is a passenger lift.
A fridge that is still dripping water cannot travel upright in a removal van without risking the compressor. Twenty-four hours is enough for most appliances.
Passports, laptops, jewellery, and irreplaceable documents should travel with you, not in the van. This is not pessimism; it is standard industry practice.
Write "Kitchen - Ground" or "Bedroom 2 - First" on the top and one side. It takes ten minutes when packing and saves forty minutes when unloading into an unfamiliar property.
If you are moving into a council-maintained flat in Craigmillar or Wester Hailes, check if your key-holder or factor needs to be present for external door access.
Edinburgh's utility companies accept photos with timestamps as evidence. Do this before the van is loaded and again after it is emptied.

Reliable House Removals in Edinburgh, Every Time
Giant Van has completed thousands of removals across Edinburgh and the Lothians. Several things set our service apart from the general man-and-van market.
Fixed pricing: You receive a written quote before you commit. The price does not change unless your requirements change. There are no surprise charges for stairs, waiting time, or traffic delays within the Edinburgh boundary.
Local knowledge: Our Edinburgh crews know which streets around the Royal Mile require early arrival before pedestrian closures, which car parks near Haymarket are accessible to a 7.5-tonne lorry, and which residential streets in Portobello require the shorter Luton van.
Reliability: We confirm your booking by email and send a reminder 48 hours before the move. The crew carries a printed job sheet with your address, access notes, and any special instructions.
Specialist capacity: Not every removal company can move a grand piano from a first-floor flat in Canonmills or dismantle a custom-built wardrobe on Colinton Road. Our crews train in both.
Every move is handled by experienced, vetted crews. You will not find your job passed to a freelance driver sourced through a last-minute marketplace.
To discuss your move, call. We are available Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm.

Edinburgh House Removals: When to Schedule
Knowing the peak periods helps you plan a lower-stress move.
The city centre becomes effectively gridlocked between 11am and midnight throughout the month. If you must move during August, book at least eight weeks in advance and request a 7am start. Evening moves during the Fringe are not recommended.
Friday and Saturday at month-end book up four to six weeks ahead.
If you are a private landlord or letting agent turning over properties near the University of Edinburgh or Edinburgh Napier University, contact us in July for September bookings.
Spring moves in March and April offer a good balance of availability and weather.
Giant Van vs. Other Edinburgh Removals Options
Here is how they compare on the factors that matter most.
They frequently subcontract to local drivers, meaning the company you book is not the company that turns up. Their knowledge of Edinburgh-specific restrictions, such as New Town CPZ hours or Old Town pedestrian closures, is often drawn from generic databases rather than lived experience.
Stair surcharges and waiting-time charges are often applied informally on the day.
The price you see before you book is the price you pay, with any add-ons itemised clearly.
Message us in the live chat to compare your current quote.
Giant Van provides house removals, office removals, and man-and-van services across Edinburgh and the surrounding Lothians.
Our teams work in every postcode from EH1 to EH17, covering New Town flats, Morningside family homes, Leith waterfront apartments, and South Edinburgh business parks.
All moves come with a fixed written quote, fully insured vehicles, and trained crews who know the city's parking restrictions and access challenges.

Edinburgh removals require local knowledge that generic national firms do not carry.
Giant Van crews manage parking suspensions in the New Town, stair-carry logistics in Marchmont tenements, and out-of-hours access for Fringe-month moves.
If you are moving a studio flat in Stockbridge or a four-bedroom house in Morningside, you receive a clear price and a reliable service.

Moving Guides and Advice
Broughton Removals Edinburgh: Home and Office Moves Across the City — FAQs
How much does a house removal in Edinburgh cost?
House removals in Edinburgh with Giant Van range from £250 for a one-bedroom flat to £850 for a larger four-bedroom property. The final price depends on your floor count, the distance between properties, and if you need add-ons such as packing or a parking suspension. All quotes are fixed and confirmed in writing before you commit.
Call for your personalised price.
Do you cover Broughton and the New Town area of Edinburgh?
Yes. Broughton Street, Dundas Street, and the surrounding New Town streets fall within our standard Edinburgh coverage area. These postcodes (mainly EH3 and EH7) have controlled parking zones in force on weekdays.
We arrange the necessary parking suspension on your behalf when you book at least five working days ahead, at a typical cost of £60 to £90 passed on at cost.
Can you move a piano in Edinburgh?
Yes. Giant Van moves upright and baby grand pianos across Edinburgh from £150. Our crews are trained in specialist strapping techniques and use piano boards for stair lifts in tenement properties. We have moved pianos from flats in Canonmills, Stockbridge, and Morningside. Contact us at with the piano type, current floor, and destination floor for an accurate quote.
How far in advance should I book Edinburgh removals?
For standard Edinburgh moves, two to three weeks ahead is comfortable outside of peak periods. During August (Festival Fringe), book at least eight weeks in advance. End-of-month dates between the 25th and the 31st book up four to six weeks ahead, particularly in student-heavy postcodes like EH8 and EH9.
If your date is flexible, midweek slots in the middle of the month are easiest to secure.
Do you do office removals in Edinburgh outside of business hours?
Yes. Giant Van offers out-of-hours and weekend office removal slots in Edinburgh at no extra charge, subject to availability. Evening starts from 6pm and Saturday morning starts from 7am are our most popular options for businesses that cannot interrupt weekday operations.
Office removals are priced from £300, with a fixed written quote issued after we confirm crew size and vehicle requirements.
What happens if there is no parking near my Edinburgh property?
Giant Van applies for a temporary traffic regulation order (TTRO) from Edinburgh City Council on your behalf. This legally reserves a bay outside your property for loading or unloading. The application requires five working days' notice. The council fee is typically £60 to £90 and is passed on to you at cost.
We recommend confirming this during your initial quote call so the application is made in time.
Is my furniture insured during the move?
Yes. Every booking includes £500 of goods-in-transit cover free, with £3,000 Plus cover available for £12. This is included in your removal price at no extra cost. For high-value items such as antiques, artwork, or specialist equipment worth more than £10,000, we recommend arranging separate declared-value cover and will note fragile items on the job sheet.
Do you offer storage in Edinburgh?
Yes. Giant Van offers short-term storage in our Edinburgh-area facility, with a minimum booking of one week. Storage is useful when there is a gap between your move-out and move-in dates, or when you need to hold office equipment during a phased relocation. Pricing is quoted per cubic metre per week.
Start a live chat to discuss your storage requirements alongside your removal booking.
