Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Tollcross Edinburgh Removals and Deliveries
Tollcross sits at the heart of Edinburgh's southside, straddling the EH3 and EH10 postcode boundary. It's a busy, densely populated area with a mix of Victorian tenements, converted flats, and modern builds along Home Street, Leven Street, and Gilmore Place. Giant Van has carried out hundreds of house removals in this part of the city.
We know what local moves involve.
Our house removals service in Tollcross covers everything from a one-bedroom flat on Tarvit Street to a large family home near Boroughmuir High School. Prices start from £250 and go up to £850 depending on property size, access, and distance.
Every booking includes a fully insured van, a trained two-person crew, and real-time GPS tracking so you always know where your belongings are.
We operate seven days a week. Most Tollcross removals complete in a single day. If you need packing help, we offer a full packing service from £150. Our app lets you book, track your van, and communicate with the crew without a single phone call. That said, if you prefer to speak to someone, our team is on.
We give you an instant quote based on your exact address and the size of your move. No hidden charges. No vague estimates.
Driving Through Tollcross Edinburgh: What We Know
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.

Work Out Your Moving CostTollcross Edinburgh Packing and Prep Advice
Here are five practical tips based on what we see on removals in EH3 and EH10.
The City of Edinburgh Council requires at least five working days' notice for a suspension permit. If you are moving from a tenement on Brougham Street or Home Street, you will almost certainly need one. We can handle this on your behalf when you book with Giant Van.
Many Tollcross tenements have stairwells as narrow as 85cm at the turn. A standard two-door wardrobe will not make it up without disassembly. Measure at the tightest point, not just the bottom landing.
Storage units at Edinburgh Self Storage on Gorgie Road are a short drive from Tollcross. Dropping off items you do not need before moving day reduces your van size and lowers your final cost.
Our crew loads and unloads faster when boxes are labelled with the destination room at your new property. Write it in large text on all four sides so it is visible however the box is stacked.
If you are moving into a managed building near Fountainbridge, contact the property factor to confirm there are no communal area restrictions on moving day. Some Edinburgh factors require advance notice for building access.
