Furniture Delivery in New Town Edinburgh

New Town Edinburgh presents specific access challenges that not every removals firm prepares for.

The area was built between 1765 and 1850, and its streets reflect that heritage. Georgian tenements on Northumberland Street and Cumberland Street typically have narrow common stairs with tight turns at each landing. Queen Street and Heriot Row feature large townhouses where upper-floor flats are reached via steep stone staircases with no lift access.

Parking is a significant operational factor.

Most of New Town sits within Edinburgh City Council's Controlled Parking Zone. Our drivers apply in advance for a temporary suspension of parking bays on the delivery street wherever possible. For Queen Street (A900), George Street (which is pedestrianised in sections), and Princes Street itself, we use approved loading bays and time our arrival before 8 AM or after 6 PM to avoid the busiest restrictions. Customers in EH2 3 or EH2 4 postcodes should let us know the exact street at booking so we can check restrictions in advance.

Cobbled streets on Rose Street Lane North and in the St Stephen Street area can add delivery time for heavy or wheeled furniture.

Our team carries appropriate trolleys and furniture sliders for these surfaces. We do not use powered stair climbers on listed tenement stairs without written permission, as the stone can be fragile.

For ground-floor flats with direct pavement access on Moray Place or Ainslie Place, a standard two-person delivery takes around 20 minutes per large item.

Upper-floor deliveries to flats above the third storey typically add 15 to 30 minutes per item. We factor all of this into your quote so there are no surprises on the day. Our furniture delivery in New Town Edinburgh is built around the reality of the streets, not an optimistic average.

Giant Van's furniture delivery in New Town Edinburgh covers every street and postcode in the area.

Our regular Edinburgh runs service the full EH1, EH2, and EH3 postcode districts without any additional area charge.

In EH2, we deliver to the principal Georgian streets including Queen Street, George Street, Charlotte Square, and Moray Place.

These addresses frequently involve first or second-floor flats in converted Georgian townhouses with original stone staircases. We have completed deliveries to Charlotte Square, Ainslie Place, and Randolph Crescent more times than we can count.

In EH3, our coverage includes Stockbridge-adjacent streets such as St Stephen Street, Henderson Row, and Dundas Street, as well as the quieter residential crescents of Royal Circus and Great King Street.

The EH3 7 and EH3 6 postcode zones include Canonmills and Inverleith, which we cover on the same Edinburgh run.

In EH1, we serve the eastern edge of New Town including Broughton Street, Barony Street, and the flats above the shops on Leith Walk's New Town end.

These addresses are often slightly easier for parking than the central EH2 streets.

Beyond New Town itself, we cover surrounding Edinburgh neighbourhoods on the same booking with no additional zone fee.

Stockbridge (EH4), Comely Bank, Inverleith, Canonmills, and Broughton all fall within our standard Edinburgh delivery coverage. We also cover Leith (EH6), Morningside (EH10), and Marchmont (EH9) on the same trip if you need collection or drop-off at multiple Edinburgh addresses.

For removals beyond Edinburgh city boundary to areas such as Musselburgh or South Queensferry, our long-distance pricing applies from £500.
