Homes and Flats We Move in Marchmont
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Our Offering in Marchmont
Marchmont is one of Edinburgh's most sought-after residential areas. The neighbourhood sits south of the Meadows, stretching between EH9 and EH10. Demand for house removals here stays high all year. Students leaving tenements, families upsizing to Morningside, and professionals moving into ground-floor flats all keep our diary full.
Giant Van runs house removals across Marchmont seven days a week. Our standard house removal service starts from £250 for a small flat and reaches £850 for a large family home. Every job includes a dedicated crew, a padded removal van, and full goods-in-transit insurance.
Every charge, including access, distance and clean-air zones, is shown in your quote before you pay.
We are not a man-and-van outfit. Our crews are trained in packing fragile goods, dismantling furniture, and protecting hardwood floors during a move. We bring the blankets, straps, and trolleys as standard. You do not pay extra for the equipment.
Same-day removals in Marchmont start from £80. If your moving date shifts or you need to go at short notice, call and we will fit you in. We also offer packing services from £150 if you want the full job handled from start to finish.
Book through our app in under two minutes and receive GPS tracking on your van so you know exactly when we arrive.
Crew Navigation Tips for Marchmont
Marchmont's street layout presents real challenges on moving day.
Most homes here are Victorian tenements with shared stone staircases. Flats on Marchmont Crescent, Spottiswoode Road, and Thirlestane Road often sit on the second or third floor with no lift. Our crew assess floor levels when you book so we send the right number of people.
Parking is controlled across much of the area.
Marchmont Road and Warrender Park Terrace both have resident permit zones active from 8am to 6pm Monday to Saturday. You will need to apply for a suspension from City of Edinburgh Council at least five working days before your move. Our team can guide you through the process when you call.
Without a suspension, the nearest unloading spot can be 40 to 60 metres from your front door, which adds time.
Thirlestane Road narrows significantly at the south end near Bruntsfield Links.
Our larger 7.5-tonne vans cannot always access the far end. We route these jobs via Whitehouse Loan instead, adding roughly five minutes to each load. We flag this during your survey so there are no surprises.
Reversing access on Marchmont Crescent requires a banksman on busy mornings.
We provide one as part of every crew. We have completed hundreds of moves in EH9 and EH10 and we know exactly where to park, how to protect stone stair banisters, and how to time arrival to avoid school-run congestion near Sciennes Primary School on Sciennes Road.

Work Out Your Moving CostMove-Day Preparation in Marchmont
Here are five practical steps based on hundreds of jobs we have completed in EH9 and EH10.
City of Edinburgh Council requires at least five working days' notice. Apply online at edinburgh.gov.uk. A single-day suspension for a standard removal van costs around £35. Book it before you confirm your moving date.
Tenements on Spottiswoode Street and Marchmont Crescent share tight stairwells. If the ground-floor flat has a large sofa in the hall, your removal crew cannot get past safely. A quick knock on doors the week before prevents delays on the day.
Kettle, mugs, phone charger, basic toiletries, and one change of clothes. Put it aside from the main boxes. Our crew will ask you which bags come last onto the van and first off. This bag should always be last on, first off.
The front doors of Marchmont tenements are typically 75cm to 80cm wide. A king-size bed frame or large three-seater sofa may not fit upright. Our team dismantle and reassemble at no extra charge, but knowing in advance saves time.
If you are moving to a flat in Newington or Leith with a communal lift, reserve it for your moving date through your building management company. Our crew cannot hold lifts for other residents.
