Furniture Delivery & House Removals in Edinburgh City Centre

Yes, Giant Van operates seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. Weekend slots are popular for furniture delivery in Sciennes Edinburgh, particularly for customers who cannot take time off work. We recommend booking at least five days in advance for weekend appointments, though we can often accommodate last-minute requests if a slot is available.

Weekend pricing is the same as weekday rates — no surcharge applies.

Edinburgh city centre has extensive permit and restricted parking zones that affect vehicle access. Giant Van handles all parking arrangements as part of your booking. We apply for temporary suspension permits where needed through Edinburgh City Council, typically taking two to five working days.

For Sciennes and surrounding streets, we advise giving us as much notice as possible so permits are in place before your move day. The cost of any permit is included in your fixed quote.

Absolutely. Our furniture delivery service covers direct-from-retailer collections across Edinburgh and the surrounding area. If you have purchased from a store that does not offer home delivery — or if the retailer's delivery does not include room placement or assembly — Giant Van can step in.

We collect from the retailer, transport the item to your Sciennes address, carry it to the correct room, and assemble it if required. Just provide the retailer's address and any reference numbers when booking.

Our man and van Edinburgh service includes one professional driver and a large panel van, protective blankets, a sack trolley, and loading straps. The driver will help carry items from your property, load the van securely, transport to your new address, and unload into the rooms you specify. The service is charged by the hour with a half-hour minimum.

For Sciennes and Musselburgh man and van Edinburgh bookings, most single-bedroom moves complete within two to three hours.

Yes. Every booking includes £500 of goods-in-transit cover free, with £3,000 Plus cover available for £12. This covers accidental damage caused by our team from the point of collection to final placement at your new address. For high-value antiques, artwork, or specialist items, we recommend declaring these in advance so we can discuss enhanced cover options.

Public liability insurance is also held to cover any accidental damage to the properties we work in.

Giant Van moves upright pianos and other heavy or specialist items regularly. Sciennes tenements can present challenges with tight stair turns and low ceilings, so we always carry out a brief assessment before quoting for piano or specialist moves. In most cases our standard crew and equipment are sufficient.

For grand pianos or items requiring crane hire or specialist rigging, we will advise you at the quotation stage and arrange the correct solution.

For house removals in Edinburgh city centre, we recommend booking two to three weeks in advance, particularly for moves at the end of the month when demand peaks. Sciennes is a busy area with frequent property turnovers, and availability can fill quickly for popular dates.

If your move is urgent, message us in the live chat — we maintain a cancellation list and can often accommodate short-notice bookings within 48 to 72 hours depending on crew and vehicle availability.

Yes. House removals in Gorebridge Edinburgh are a regular part of our workload. We travel throughout Midlothian and connect outlying towns such as Gorebridge, Dalkeith, and Bonnyrigg with Edinburgh city centre addresses including Sciennes, Marchmont, and Newington. A move from Gorebridge to Sciennes typically takes half a day for a two-bedroom property.

Full quotes are provided in advance with no mileage or fuel supplements added on the day.
