House Removals in Tollcross, Edinburgh

Tollcross presents real access challenges that catch out removal companies unfamiliar with Edinburgh.

The junction of Home Street and Leven Street is one of the busiest in the southside. Double yellow lines run along most of Gilmore Place and parts of Brougham Street. Parking a large removal van requires a City of Edinburgh Council suspension permit in most cases.

Giant Van handles the permit process.

We apply in advance and co-ordinate with the council to reserve loading space directly outside your property. This avoids last-minute scrambles on moving day. We also know which streets allow early-morning loading before peak traffic builds. Moving before 8am on Gilmore Place, for instance, is significantly easier than attempting it at midday.

Tollcross has a high proportion of tenement flats.

Many buildings on Lochrin Place and Tarvit Street have stone stairwells, tight landings, and no lift access. Our crew is trained to carry furniture safely in these conditions. We use furniture blankets, stair-climbing straps, and padded floor covers on every job. Large items like three-seater sofas and king-size bed frames need disassembly planning before move day. Tell us the floor level and stairwell width when you book and we will plan accordingly.

The area around Kings Theatre on Leven Street also sees heavy footfall during performances.

If you are moving near the theatre, we recommend scheduling your removal earlier in the day to avoid pedestrian congestion in the afternoon and evening.

Giant Van covers all postcodes in and around Tollcross as part of our Edinburgh removals network.

Our most regular collection and delivery postcodes in this part of the city include EH3, EH10, EH11, and EH9.

We regularly move customers between Tollcross and the following Edinburgh neighbourhoods.

Marchmont is one of our busiest areas, with many students and young professionals moving into and out of the large flats on Marchmont Crescent and Warrender Park Terrace. Bruntsfield is a short drive from Tollcross and shares many of the same tenement access challenges. We work there several times a week.

Morningside and Newington are popular destinations for Tollcross residents moving to quieter streets with more space.

We cover both areas. Fountainbridge, directly north of Tollcross, is seeing significant new-build development. We handle many first-time moves in and out of the newer blocks along the canal corridor.

For longer distance moves, we cover all of Central Scotland.

Edinburgh to Glasgow removals start from £500. Edinburgh to Stirling, Perth, and Dundee are all within our standard long-distance pricing. If you are leaving Edinburgh entirely, we can handle the full move in a single day in most cases.

We also cover student moves from and to the University of Edinburgh campus areas around George Square and Potterrow, which are within two miles of Tollcross.

Student removals start from £150.
