Where We Deliver in Newington
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Newington: From Furniture to Full Homes
If you have bought a sofa from a local shop on Clerk Street or ordered a wardrobe online that needs collecting and assembling, our furniture delivery in Newington Edinburgh is built around your schedule.
We carry the right kit – blankets, straps, and two-person lifting teams – to protect your items and your property.
Narrow closes and tenement stairwells are no problem for our crews, who handle Newington buildings every week.
We confirm your slot the evening before and send a tracker link on the day so you are never left waiting.
Practical Logistics for Newington Moves
When moving in Edinburgh, moving house in Newington means navigating resident parking permits, tight closes, and shared stair access.
Giant Van takes all of that off your hands.
We carry out a pre-move survey to flag any access issues early, then plan the loading sequence so your van is packed efficiently and nothing gets left behind.
Our team wraps furniture on-site, disassembles beds and wardrobes where needed, and reassembles them at your new address.
We work across all Newington postcodes, including EH9 and EH16.

Man and Van vs Full Removals Service in Newington
Newington sits just south of Edinburgh's Old Town, bordered by the Meadows to the north and Blackford Hill to the south.
It is a dense residential neighbourhood of Georgian and Victorian tenements, with a busy commercial strip along Clerk Street and South Clerk Street.
Properties here tend to have common stairs, low ceilings in older flats, and limited kerbside parking – all factors that require an experienced removals team rather than a rental van and a couple of friends.
Giant Van's crews are familiar with every part of Newington, from the wide avenues near the Grange to the compact studio flats around Salisbury Road.
Our man and van Newington service covers all aspects of moving – loading, transit, unloading, and optional packing and assembly.
We work with private residents, students, landlords, and small businesses.
All moves are booked with a fixed price or an hourly rate confirmed in writing before the job starts, so there are no surprise invoices.
Our vehicles are GPS-tracked, fully insured, and cleaned between jobs.
For larger moves we provide a dedicated removals manager who coordinates the crew and liaises with building managers or factors where required.

Man and Van Newington – Furniture Delivery & Removals in Edinburgh — FAQs
How much does a man and van in Newington cost?
Hourly rates for a man and van in Newington start from around £50 to £70 per hour for a single-man Transit van, with most local moves taking two to four hours. Luton vans with a two-person crew are typically £90 to £120 per hour. We provide a fixed written quote for moves booked in advance.
Same-day bookings may carry a small premium. All quotes include mileage within Edinburgh; longer distances are charged per mile beyond a set radius.
Do you cover parking and permits in Newington?
Yes. Newington falls within Edinburgh's controlled parking zone, and we handle suspension applications on your behalf for a small admin fee. We advise booking permit suspensions at least five working days before your move date. Where suspensions are not practical, our drivers are experienced at working from double yellow lines during loading windows and liaising with local wardens.
We flag any known access issues during your pre-move survey.
Can you move items up and down tenement stairs in Newington?
Absolutely. Tenement stair access is something our crews handle daily across Newington and the wider Edinburgh southside. We carry furniture straps, stair rollers, and protective corner guards to manage tight turns on common stairs.
For exceptionally large items such as American-style fridges or corner sofas, we assess feasibility during the survey and, if needed, arrange external hoisting through a trusted specialist partner.
What areas near Newington do you also cover?
We cover all neighbouring areas including Marchmont, Morningside, Sciennes, Grange, Causewayside, and the Southside more broadly. We also serve the city centre, Leith, Stockbridge, and Bruntsfield. For office moves, we regularly work in New Town Edinburgh, Canonmills, and the West End. There is no additional charge for moving between Newington and any other Edinburgh postcode within our standard coverage area.
How far in advance should I book a man and van in Newington?
For standard weekday moves we recommend booking at least three to five days in advance. Weekends and end-of-month dates fill quickly, particularly in June and September during the student changeover period. For large full-home moves we suggest two to three weeks' notice to guarantee your preferred date and allow time for a pre-move survey.
Same-day and next-day slots are sometimes available – message us on live chat before noon to check availability.
Do you offer packing materials and boxes in Newington?
Yes. We supply double-walled removal boxes, wardrobe boxes with hanging rails, bubble wrap, packing paper, mattress bags, and heavy-duty tape. Materials can be delivered to your Newington address ahead of your move or brought on the day if our team is packing for you. Box bundles are priced per quantity with no markup over retail.
Unused, undamaged boxes can be returned after your move for a partial refund.
Is my furniture insured during transit?
Yes. Every booking includes £500 of goods-in-transit cover free, with £3,000 Plus cover available for £12. We also carry public liability insurance. In the unlikely event of damage, we have a straightforward claims process with a named point of contact. We photograph high-value items before loading as standard practice to support any claim if needed.
Can you help with IKEA and flat-pack furniture assembly in Newington?
Yes. Our team can collect flat-pack furniture from IKEA Straiton or any Edinburgh retailer, deliver it to your Newington address, and assemble it in situ. We bring the right tools and follow manufacturer instructions precisely. Assembly jobs are priced separately from the delivery itself and quoted based on the number and complexity of items.
We can also disassemble existing furniture before a move and reassemble it at your new address.
