Leith Permit and Parking Support
Operating across Edinburgh, leith presents specific access challenges that our crews prepare for on every job.
The Shore is a narrow, historic waterfront strip where parking is limited and double yellows run along much of the main road.
If you are moving from a flat on The Shore or nearby Henderson Street, we book a parking suspension in advance where needed to ensure the van can stop directly outside.
Leith Walk is a long, busy arterial road with tram infrastructure on the central reservation.
Loading zones are short and timed. Our drivers know exactly where to park legally, and we keep loading times tight to avoid penalty charges.
The tenement flats around Bonnington Road and Easter Road often feature steep stone stairwells with tight turns and no lift access.
We use carry straps, furniture sliders, and a one- or two-person crew carries for heavy items. Wardrobes and sofas are disassembled where required and rebuilt at the destination.
The new-build developments along Leith Waterfront and Ocean Drive present a different challenge.
Concierge-managed buildings often require goods lift bookings up to 48 hours in advance. We advise all customers moving to or from these buildings to confirm the goods lift slot before booking. We factor this into the schedule.
Commercial Street and Tower Street in the EH6 6 postcode area have restricted loading hours during business days.
We plan arrival times to fall within permitted windows. Moves involving the industrial conversion flats near Victoria Quay also require prior notice to building management. We guide you through all of this when you book.

Work Out Your Moving CostPractical Steps Before Moving in Leith
Here are five practical steps that make a real difference.
If your property is on The Shore, Henderson Street, or Leith Walk, apply for a suspension through Edinburgh City Council at least five working days before your move date. We can advise on the exact bay references you need. Without a suspension, a removal van may not be able to stop near your door.
Leith tenements were built in the 19th century. The stairwells are narrow. Measure the width at the tightest turn and the height of your largest item. Share these dimensions when you book. We will confirm whether any furniture needs to be taken out of a window or disassembled.
When crews carry dozens of boxes, room labels save time. It also reduces the chance of heavy boxes being stacked on fragile ones.
Buildings on Ocean Drive and the wider waterfront development typically require 24 to 48 hours notice. Some restrict moving to weekday mornings only.
This applies everywhere, but it matters especially in Leith's older flats where kitchens are small and carrying a wet fridge down a stone staircase creates a safety hazard. A dry fridge is lighter and safer to move.
