House Removals in Gorgie, Edinburgh

Gorgie Road runs through the heart of the area and carries heavy bus traffic throughout the day.

Parking a removal lorry on Gorgie Road itself is rarely practical. Our drivers know this and plan alternative loading points in advance.

Shandon Street and Ashley Terrace are common access points for properties sitting back from the main road.

Both streets allow short-stay loading but fill up quickly after 8am. We recommend booking a parking suspension permit from City of Edinburgh Council if you are in a controlled zone. This costs around £55 per day and is worth every penny.

The tenement blocks along Robertson Avenue and Wardlaw Street have internal closes with steep stone stairs.

Our crews carry furniture disassembly kits as standard. Most large wardrobes and bedframes must be taken apart before they will fit through a tenement close. We do this at no extra charge.

EH11 also includes some newer housing on the western side near Broomhouse Road where access is easier.

Wide driveways and level entrances make loading faster. If your property has level access, your move will cost less because load times drop significantly.

Parking suspensions around Edinburgh Park, to the west of Gorgie, also require advance notice to the council.

We handle the planning for you when you book. Just tell us your postcode at the time of booking and our operations team flags access issues before your move date.

Always check if your building has a lift.

Many of the converted flatted developments in EH11 do. If you have a lift, let us know. It changes the crew size we send and keeps your cost down.
