Where We Deliver in Leith
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Our Offering in Leith
Giant Van provides reliable furniture delivery across Leith for homes, flats, and businesses. We carry sofas, beds, wardrobes, dining tables, chest of drawers, and flat-pack units. Our team lifts, loads, and places items exactly where you want them.
Leith is a dense, mixed-use area in north Edinburgh with a strong demand for delivery services. Residents here often buy furniture from retailers outside the area and need a trusted carrier to bridge the gap. We collect from anywhere in Edinburgh and deliver straight to your Leith address.
Our pricing for furniture delivery starts at £45 for small single-item jobs and goes up to £120 for larger multi-item deliveries within the city. That price includes two movers, a fully equipped van, blanket wrapping for fragile pieces, and basic assembly if required. No hidden charges appear on your final invoice.
We cover all furniture types. Flat-pack boxes from IKEA or Argos are fine. Larger assembled pieces such as corner sofas, solid wood wardrobes, or glass display cabinets are also handled with care. Our vans carry full transit blankets, strapping, and padded boards on every job.
Same-day furniture delivery in Leith is available when you book before 10am on weekdays. We also offer Saturday and Sunday slots for customers who cannot take time off work. All bookings come with GPS tracking so you can follow your delivery in real time through our app.
How We Reach Leith Properties
Leith has some of the most varied access conditions in Edinburgh.
Understanding these before booking saves time and avoids delays on the day.
The Shore and neighbouring streets such as Bernard Street, Commercial Street, and Henderson Street sit near the Water of Leith.
Many buildings here are converted warehouses or category B listed tenements. Doorways can be narrow and stairs are often steep with tight landings. Always measure your furniture against your door frame and stairwell width before confirming a booking.
Leith Walk is a long arterial road with bus lanes and restricted loading bays.
Parking a large van directly outside on weekdays requires a permit or a short-stay arrangement. Our drivers know where the legal loading spots are and will plan accordingly.
For buildings set back from Leith Walk, we use Great Junction Street or side roads where safe stopping is possible.
In the EH6 postcode, many flats are in tenement blocks without lifts.
If you live above the ground floor at addresses such as those on Constitution Street or Iona Street, let us know your floor number when booking. We charge no extra for stair carries up to three flights, but we will confirm the access assessment during your booking.
Parking in Leith town centre is controlled Monday to Saturday between 8am and 6:30pm.
Residents with permit zone EH6 can provide a temporary resident visitor permit. Alternatively, we schedule early-morning slots before restrictions begin. Tell us your access situation when you book and we will find the best arrival window for your street.

Work Out Your Moving CostWhat to Pack First for a Leith Move
Many Leith tenement flats on Bonnington Road or Easter Road have 28 to 30-inch doorways. A standard three-seater sofa is often 35 inches wide. Confirm dimensions before purchase to avoid an item that will not fit.
Move rugs, shoes, and anything blocking the path from your front door to the final room. Our crew carries furniture straight through without stopping. A clear route cuts delivery time by up to 30 minutes on larger jobs.
If your building has a coded entry, a concierge, or a time-sensitive loading bay on a street like Lindsay Road, tell us when you book. We build those details into the job brief so the driver arrives prepared.
We operate GPS tracking so you know exactly when we are arriving. Someone must be at home to accept and check the item. If you need a neighbour to sign, confirm that arrangement with us in advance.
A single armchair fits in a small van. A king-size bed frame plus mattress needs a Luton van. Our instant quote tool selects the correct vehicle automatically based on what you describe. You will not pay for space you do not use.

Furniture Delivery vs Man and Van: Which Do You Need?
The answer depends on the job.
Our furniture delivery service is designed for exactly this: single-collection, single-delivery runs with a crew trained to handle large items safely. Prices start at £45 and the booking is fast.
Man and van covers multiple collection points, loading assistance with boxes and bags, and a longer working window. Prices for man and van start at £54 per hour with a half-hour minimum.
For single-item furniture delivery from IKEA or a local store, the furniture delivery service is faster and more cost-effective.
We will tell you which service fits and give you an accurate price straight away.
Giant Van has been delivering furniture across Edinburgh since the company launched. Our drivers cover Leith every day of the week. They know the access constraints on The Shore, the parking rules on Leith Walk, and the stair configurations in tenement blocks on Constitution Street. That local knowledge means your delivery runs to plan rather than hitting avoidable delays.
Our vehicles range from small Transits for single-item jobs to large Luton vans with tail-lifts for heavy or oversized pieces. When you enter your furniture details into our quote tool, the system selects the right vehicle automatically. You will never pay for a van larger than the job requires.
Every team member is trained in furniture handling, not just driving. They know how to tip a large bookcase on its side to fit through a narrow doorframe, how to disassemble a bed base safely in a cramped room, and how to protect banisters and door frames during a stair carry.
These details matter in a city like Edinburgh where older buildings are common.
Furniture delivery in Leith does not need to be complicated or expensive.
Giant Van keeps the process simple: get a quote, pick a slot, track your delivery, accept your items. The whole job is managed through one platform with no third parties, no subcontractors, and no handoffs between drivers.
If you need packing materials for fragile furniture accessories or glassware that travels with your delivery, we offer packing services from £150.
This is useful if you are buying a display cabinet or a drinks trolley that needs individual wrapping before transit.
For customers buying from private sellers on platforms like Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree, we offer collect-and-deliver runs across Edinburgh from £48.
You do not need to hire a van or ask a friend. We collect from the seller's address and deliver directly to yours. Message us in the live chat or book online to get started.
