Homes and Flats We Move in Granton
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
What Granton Can Book
Giant Van ticks all three.
Granton's mix of older Council housing stock, converted industrial units, and new-build waterfront apartments means access conditions vary street by street.
We survey unfamiliar addresses before arriving on moving day.
Some of the newer Granton Waterfront developments have underground parking and loading bays — we factor this into timings.
Rates for Granton house moves start from £149 for a standard two-bedroom property.
Our Route Knowledge in Granton
For moves in Edinburgh, knowing how to move a refrigerator correctly matters, particularly in Granton's mix of tenement flats and new-build properties with different access conditions.
Defrost your fridge freezer at least 24 hours beforehand.
Giant Van uses an appliance trolley to tilt and move large fridge freezers safely, and we travel with the unit upright in the van where space allows.
In Granton's newer apartment blocks, service lifts are usually available — we check this at booking.
Never lay a fridge on its side during transit without allowing it to stand upright for several hours before switching it back on.

Granton: No Hidden Fees, No Surprises
Giant Van's Edinburgh movers service in Granton EH5 includes a trained crew, a correctly sized vehicle, and all equipment at no extra charge.

Streets and Districts in Granton
Giant Van covers the full north Edinburgh waterfront corridor — Granton EH5, Newhaven EH6, and Trinity EH5/EH6 — as part of its daily Edinburgh operations.
All three are within two miles of each other along the Firth of Forth shoreline.
Newhaven's historic harbour streets are narrower than Granton's newer Waterfront development; Trinity has a more established residential character with Victorian stone villas.
Edinburgh movers working this corridor need knowledge of the varying access conditions: underground loading bays in Granton's new builds, loading restrictions near Newhaven Harbour, and permit zones in Trinity's residential streets.
Giant Van operates across all three regularly.
For moves within north Edinburgh — Granton to Trinity or Granton to Pilton — transit is five to 15 minutes.
For cross-city moves south to Marchmont or Morningside, allow 25 to 35 minutes.
A Note From Our Granton Team
We know Granton well. Our drivers navigate the local streets daily, handling everything from narrow terraced house access to large detached properties. Every move is treated with care because our reputation in Granton depends on it.
