House Removals New Town Edinburgh

Access is the single biggest challenge for any removal company working in New Town.

Edinburgh City Council enforces strict parking restrictions across the area. On Queen Street and Princes Street there are double yellow lines and active enforcement throughout the day. George Street has timed bays that fill up by 8am on weekdays.

Thistle Street and Rose Street lanes are too narrow for a long-wheelbase van without prior positioning.

The solution is a parking suspension permit.

Giant Van applies for City of Edinburgh Council parking suspensions before your move day. This reserves a legal loading space directly outside your property. The process takes 2 to 5 working days. We handle all the paperwork.

There is no additional charge for this service on moves booked at least 5 days in advance.

Inside the buildings, the challenges continue.

New Town tenements typically have internal stone staircases with tight 180-degree turns at each landing. Wardrobes and double mattresses often cannot be carried straight up. Our crews are trained in item disassembly and reassembly for exactly these situations. We bring the tools needed on every job.

Newer residential developments along Princes Street and around St Andrew Square have lift access, which significantly speeds up ground-floor loading.

We always carry out a pre-move property assessment so our crew arrives fully prepared. Properties near Charlotte Square and the Moray Estate also have private communal gardens with controlled vehicle access.

If your property has gate codes, resident permits, or estate office contacts, share these with us at booking and we will handle the coordination directly.

Giant Van operates across the full extent of New Town and connects to every part of Edinburgh and beyond.

Our coverage is not limited by postcode boundaries or distance.

Within New Town, we regularly carry out removals on George Street, Queen Street, Heriot Row, Moray Place, Ainslie Place, Doune Terrace, Great King Street, Drummond Place, and Royal Circus.

We cover EH1, EH2, EH3, and EH4 as standard Edinburgh postcodes.

From New Town, we connect directly to other Edinburgh neighbourhoods including Stockbridge to the north-west, Canonmills along the Water of Leith, Broughton to the east, and the Old Town directly south across Princes Street.

We also serve the Leith area including EH6, and the southern suburbs including Morningside, Marchmont, and Bruntsfield.

For moves out of Edinburgh entirely, Giant Van handles long-distance relocations across Scotland and the rest of the UK.

Our removal company London to Edinburgh route runs multiple times per week. We serve Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, and Inverness from Edinburgh. We also cover cross-border moves to Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, and Bristol.

If you are relocating from New Town to another part of the UK, we provide storage solutions for items you cannot take immediately.

Short-term storage is available from our secure facility while you wait for completion or for your new home to be ready.

For office removals originating from New Town's commercial properties around St Andrew Square and the financial district on George Street, our office removal service runs from £300 to £600.

Business moves are scheduled outside core trading hours where required.
