Full-Service Loanhead Removals
Loanhead is a compact Midlothian town sitting just 6 miles south of Edinburgh city centre. It falls under the EH20 postcode area, and most residential streets here were built between the 1950s and 1980s. That means terraced rows, semi-detached properties, and limited parking on roads like Paradykes Avenue and Burdiehouse Road.
Giant Van operates in Loanhead every week. Our drivers know which streets have restricted access in the morning and which routes connect fastest to the A701 and City Bypass. That local knowledge saves you time and avoids delays on moving day.
We offer a full house removals service for properties in Loanhead starting from £250. This covers a full three-bedroom semi up to £850, depending on volume and distance. If you need a man and van for a studio or single-room move in EH20, prices start at £45.
Loanhead sits close to the Midlothian border, so many of our clients are relocating to or from nearby Penicuik, Bonnyrigg, or Dalkeith. We handle all of these routes regularly. If you are moving within EH20 or heading into Edinburgh's EH1 to EH17 zones, our teams plan the route in advance.
Every Giant Van booking includes fully insured transport, a dedicated removal team, and GPS-tracked vehicles. You can monitor your van in real time through our app. No surprises and no hidden fees. Book online in under two minutes or speak to us directly on.
Loading and Unloading in Loanhead
Loanhead's road layout creates specific challenges that a removal company needs to plan around.
The town centre sits off Clerk Street and Fountain Place, both of which have narrow carriageways and on-street parking that can block large vehicles during peak hours.
Paradykes Avenue and the surrounding estate roads are residential cul-de-sacs.
These are accessible for our standard removal vans, but our 7.5-tonne lorries need to reverse in.
We always survey access via Google Street View before arrival and call ahead if we expect a tight turn.
Polton Road links Loanhead to Lasswade and Bonnyrigg.
It carries good volume in morning commute hours between 7:30am and 9:00am.
We recommend booking your Loanhead removal for a 9:30am start to avoid sitting in traffic on this stretch.
The B7003 through Loanhead connects to the Edinburgh City Bypass at Straiton, which gives fast access north into the city or south towards Penicuik.
Our drivers use this route for most Edinburgh-bound removals from EH20.
Parking suspension permits are sometimes needed on Clerk Street and Fountain Place if you have a large volume of furniture.
Giant Van can advise on applying to Midlothian Council for a permit, though most standard house removals in Loanhead do not require one.
Properties on Mayfield Road and Lasswade Road have wider frontages and easier lorry access.
We carry loading ramps and sack trucks on every vehicle.
This matters in Loanhead because many homes here have stepped entrances or garden paths too narrow for a standard trolley.

Work Out Your Moving CostLoanhead Moving Tips From the Team
Here are seven practical steps that save time and reduce stress.
Loanhead is popular with families relocating to Midlothian from Edinburgh. Weekend slots fill up fast, especially in July and August.
Roads like Paradykes Avenue have no yellow lines, so neighbours often park overnight. If spaces are taken, contact Midlothian Council's parking team early.
Properties on Burdiehouse Road and Polton Road often have narrow stairwells. Wardrobe frames and bed bases need to be broken down before our team arrives.
It speeds up unloading significantly. Our team works faster when boxes are pre-sorted, saving you labour costs on an hourly job.
Scottish Power and SSE both serve EH20 postcodes. Notify them at least 48 hours before your move date.
You will know exactly when our team is ten minutes away from your Loanhead property. This helps you coordinate key handovers with estate agents.
Our packing service starts at £150 and covers full box packing, wrapping, and labelling. It is particularly useful for properties in older Loanhead streets where storage spaces are full.
