Giant Van Services Across Newhaven
Newhaven sits on the north side of Edinburgh, tucked between Granton and Leith in the EH6 postcode district.
It is one of Edinburgh's oldest fishing villages, and that heritage shows in the street layout.
Many homes here were built for working families in the 19th century.
Doorways are narrow.
Staircases are steep.
Some properties on Fishmarket Square and the surrounding closes have no lift at all.
Modern builds have arrived along the waterfront.
Victoria Quay and the apartment blocks near Newhaven Harbour offer wider hallways, but underground car parks and height barriers bring their own challenges.
Our crews know which lorry heights clear the barrier at the Harbour development and where to park on West Harbour Road without blocking the tram route.
Giant Van operates full house removals across Newhaven from £250.
That covers a two-bedroom house with a crew of two and a transit-sized van.
Larger homes with four or more bedrooms typically run between £500 and £850 depending on volume, floor level, and any specialist items.
All prices include loading, transport, and unloading at your new address.
There are no hidden fuel surcharges or call-out fees.
We are fully insured for goods in transit and public liability.
You get GPS tracking on every vehicle so you can watch your belongings move from your phone.
Book through our app and you receive live updates at each stage of your move.
Same-day house removals are available in Newhaven from £80 for smaller loads, subject to crew availability.

Navigating Newhaven Roads on Moving Day
Access is the biggest variable in any Newhaven removal.
The area divides into three distinct zones, each with its own road conditions and parking rules.
The old village core around Newhaven Main Street and Fishmarket Square is the trickiest.
Streets here are one-way in places. Double yellows run continuously along the harbour frontage. There is no formal loading bay on Pier Place.
For moves here, we arrive before 8am when enforcement is lighter, or apply in advance for a temporary parking suspension through Edinburgh City Council.
We handle the application for you as part of the booking.
The Lindsay Road corridor covering Annfield and Starbank is more straightforward.
Roads are wider. There is residents' permit parking on most side streets, so we confirm a suspension at least 48 hours before move day. Crew access to upper-floor flats on Craighall Road can be slow without a lift, and we factor that into the time estimate.
The waterfront developments near Victoria Quay have their own set of rules.
Building management controls access. We contact the management company in advance to book the service lift, which is mandatory for moves to upper floors. Height restrictions on the car park entry ramp sit at 2.1 metres, which rules out our larger vehicles.
We use a long-wheelbase transit for these properties.
Edinburgh's tram line runs along Newhaven Road and causes occasional loading restrictions near the stop at Newhaven.
We plan routes around the tram corridor as standard. All crew members who work in EH6 carry current parking suspension documentation and Edinburgh City Council loading guidance. You will not be left scrambling on move day.

Work Out Your Moving CostYour Newhaven Pre-Move To-Do List
These five steps will save you time, money, and stress.
Edinburgh City Council requires a minimum of five days' notice for a temporary suspension order. Without one, your removal crew may have to park on a yellow line and risk a Penalty Charge Notice.
The cost is typically £25 to £50 depending on the number of spaces required.
Properties on Starbank Road and the closes near Fishmarket Square often have turns as tight as 80cm. A standard three-seat sofa will not navigate a 90-degree bend on a narrow Victorian staircase. Measure the turn radius and the door frame width and share them with us when you book.
Wardrobes, bed frames, and dining tables take far less time to move when flat-packed. Our crews carry standard toolkit sets, but pre-dismantling cuts your move time by up to 90 minutes on a three-bedroom house.
When a crew of two is working fast through a narrow hallway, the room label is what gets read. Use colour-coded tape if you have multiple floors to fill at the new address.
If you are moving into one of the Newhaven Harbour apartment buildings, check if your allocation includes a key fob for the service entrance on move day. Delays at the entry point are the most common cause of overtime charges on waterfront moves.

Giant Van covers Newhaven and the surrounding north Edinburgh postcodes as a standard service area with no additional travel charges.
Within EH6, we operate across the full postcode including Newhaven, Leith, Bonnington, and Pilrig.

Neighbouring areas covered at the same rate include Granton in EH5 to the west and Trinity in EH5 and EH6 to the east.
We move customers from the large Victorian villas along Inverleith Row regularly. These properties often have long garden paths and limited off-road parking, which we factor into the crew allocation.
We also cover Stockbridge in EH4, Broughton in EH3, and the New Town in EH1 and EH2.
City centre moves from tenement flats near Broughton Street require early starts to beat the morning restrictions on loading in the conservation zone.
For long-distance moves out of Newhaven, we cover the full UK from Edinburgh.
Long-distance removals start from £500. Popular routes include Newhaven to London, Newhaven to Glasgow, and Newhaven to Manchester. We also handle cross-border moves to England and Wales with no surcharge for crossing the border.

When Is the Best Time to Move?
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
Avoid the Rush in Newhaven
Here is what the booking data shows.
Completion dates cluster on Fridays because solicitors aim to close transactions before the weekend. Demand outstrips supply on peak Fridays, especially at month-end. If your solicitor gives you a choice of completion days, Wednesday or Thursday saves you money.
University tenancy changeovers in August push demand to its highest point of the year across EH6 and the surrounding postcodes. If you are moving in August, book at least three weeks in advance. Slots within two weeks of an August move date are rare.
Prices drop and crew availability is high. If your move is not date-constrained, a January move in Newhaven will typically be 15 to 20 per cent cheaper than the same move in July.
Families moving within Newhaven often target the October and December school holidays to avoid pulling children out during term. Book four to six weeks ahead for half-term and Christmas holiday moves.
For urgent moves in Newhaven, calling on a Tuesday morning gives you the best chance of a same-day crew at short notice. Call or check live availability on the Giant Van app.

House Removals in Newhaven, Edinburgh — FAQs
How much does a house removal in Newhaven, Edinburgh cost?
House removals in Newhaven start from £250 for a one to two bedroom property with a crew of two and a transit van. A three to four bedroom home typically costs £450 to £700. Five bedroom houses and larger loads run up to £850. All prices are fixed quotes.
You get the total cost before your move date, with no hourly add-ons or fuel surcharges. Call for a quote specific to your EH6 address.
Do you handle parking suspensions on Newhaven streets?
Yes. Giant Van applies for temporary parking suspensions with Edinburgh City Council on your behalf when you book at least seven days in advance. Edinburgh Council requires a minimum of five working days' notice. The suspension cost of £25 to £50 is passed on at cost with no markup.
Streets near Starbank Road, Pier Place, and the Lindsay Road residential zones frequently need a suspension to allow safe loading. We flag this during booking and handle the paperwork.
Can you move to and from the Victoria Quay waterfront apartments in Newhaven?
Yes. We move residents in and out of the waterfront apartment buildings near Newhaven Harbour regularly. These buildings have a 2.1 metre height restriction on the underground car park ramp, so we use long-wheelbase transit vans rather than larger lorries.
We contact the building management company in advance to book the service lift, which is required for moves above the ground floor. Mention your building when you book so we can confirm the correct vehicle and lift booking.
How far in advance should I book a house removal in Newhaven?
For a standard weekday move, two weeks' notice is comfortable. For a Friday or month-end completion, three to four weeks is safer, as these slots fill quickly across Edinburgh. In July and August, book four to six weeks ahead. Same-day removals in Newhaven are available subject to crew availability. Message us before 10am on the day for a same-day slot.
Is GPS tracking included on all Newhaven house removals?
Yes. Every Giant Van vehicle carries GPS tracking as standard. Once your crew departs your current address, you can follow the vehicle in real time through the Giant Van app on iOS or Android. You receive a push notification when the van reaches your new address.
GPS logs are stored for 30 days post-move and are available on request for insurance or dispute purposes.
Do you offer same-day house removals in Newhaven?
Yes. Same-day house removals in Newhaven are available from £80 for smaller loads. Message us before 10am on the day you need to move. We confirm crew and vehicle availability within 30 minutes. Same-day capacity is most reliable on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Friday same-day slots are limited due to high demand from completions across Edinburgh.
What streets in Newhaven are hardest for removals?
The tightest access conditions in Newhaven are around Fishmarket Square, the closes off Newhaven Main Street, and the older tenement properties on Lindsay Road near the harbour. These streets have narrow carriageways, no loading bays, and continuous double yellow lines. We typically arrange a parking suspension and arrive early to avoid peak traffic.
Streets in the modern waterfront development near Victoria Quay present different challenges, including height barriers and service lift booking requirements, rather than tight road widths.
Does Giant Van cover long-distance moves from Newhaven?
Yes. Long-distance house removals from Newhaven, EH6 to any UK mainland address start from £500. Common routes include Newhaven to London, Newhaven to Glasgow, and Newhaven to Manchester. There is no surcharge for crossing the Scottish border into England. We also cover inbound long-distance moves to Newhaven from anywhere in mainland Britain.
Call for a fixed long-distance quote valid for 48 hours.
