Moving Companies in Edinburgh

If you're looking for where to find free moving boxes ahead of a Corstorphine move, local supermarkets like the Tesco and Sainsbury's on St John's Road are a good starting point — ask the night-shift staff who usually have fruit and wine boxes in bulk.

Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace Corstorphine groups regularly have free box listings from recent movers.

For professional-grade double-wall boxes that won't collapse mid-move, Giant Van supplies these at cost.

A pack of 20 mixed-size boxes with tape is often cheaper than you'd expect and arrives at your door.

Giant Van operates daily across west Edinburgh covering Corstorphine EH12, Murrayfield EH12, Saughtonhall EH11, and Carrick Knowe EH12 — all within a three-mile corridor.

Edinburgh Zoo on Corstorphine Hill is a useful landmark: most EH12 residential streets fall within two miles of it.

Murrayfield to the east has a higher proportion of detached properties and slightly narrower cul-de-sacs on some estates.

Carrick Knowe, further west, has 1930s semi-detacheds with standard kerbside access.

Moving companies in Edinburgh covering this corridor run several jobs per week across all four zones.

Moves between them — Corstorphine to Murrayfield, for example — are 10 to 15 minutes in transit.

For moves from west Edinburgh to the city centre, the A8 provides the direct route; for south Edinburgh, the Western Approach Road or the bypass are both used depending on destination.
