Man and Van in Craigmillar, Edinburgh
Craigmillar sits roughly two miles south-east of Edinburgh city centre in the EH16 postcode. It borders Little France, Duddingston and Niddrie, and its streets include Niddrie Mains Road, Craigmillar Castle Road and Hay Avenue. The area has seen substantial regeneration over the past decade, with new-build housing on former council land and a growing number of young families and professionals moving in.
Fully InsuredGPS TrackedSame-Day AvailableTrained Team
Our man and van in Craigmillar Edinburgh service is built around what local customers actually need. Most moves here involve mid-terrace or semi-detached houses, modern flats on the regeneration sites, and older tenement-style properties closer to Gilberstoun. Access can be tight on some of the narrower estate roads, so our drivers come prepared with the right size vehicle and proper equipment.
We operate a two-person crew as standard on all man-and-van bookings. One driver, one loader: both trained, both insured. We use transit vans and Luton vans depending on your load, and we bring furniture blankets, straps and packing boxes at no extra charge. You get live GPS tracking via the Giant Van app so you always know exactly where your van is. Booking takes two minutes on the app or website, and we can often arrive the same day. Prices start from £45 per hour, with no hidden call-out fees.
House Removals in Craigmillar and EH16
A full house removal in Craigmillar is a bigger job than a single-item delivery, and our pricing reflects the real cost without any nasty surprises at the end.
A one-bedroom flat on Niddrie Mill Drive or close to the Craigmillar Castle area typically costs between £250 and £400 with Giant Van. A two-bedroom property, including the terrace houses along Hay Drive or the newer builds near the Edinburgh BioQuarter, runs from £400 to £650. Three-bedroom houses, such as those on Wauchope Terrace or the larger family homes around Greendykes Road, fall between £650 and £900.
Every house removal includes a dedicated crew, a full-size Luton van or larger, full goods-in-transit insurance and packing materials on request.
We disassemble and reassemble flat-pack furniture at no extra cost. Our crew wraps mirrors, TVs and fragile items before they leave the property.
Craigmillar has some specific practical considerations.
Parking on Niddrie Mains Road can be busy on weekday mornings. A few streets in the older part of the estate have speed bumps and restricted turning circles. Our Edinburgh-based drivers know all of this in advance and plan routes accordingly. We will advise you on the best time to book and whether a parking bay suspension is needed at your address. Call to talk through your move in detail.

Student Moves Near Craigmillar and the Royal Mile
Edinburgh is one of the UK's biggest student cities, and Craigmillar is well placed for students attending the University of Edinburgh's King's Buildings campus on West Mains Road, which is less than a mile away.
It also sits close to Edinburgh College's Milton Road campus and is accessible from Napier University's Sighthill site via the city bypass.
Student moves have their own rhythm.
They tend to happen at the end of June, late August and mid-September, with a secondary peak in January.
Halls of residence clearances, flat shares starting and private lettings changing hands all create high demand during these windows.
Giant Van builds extra capacity into the Edinburgh fleet for exactly these periods.
A typical student move involves boxes, a bed, a desk and a wardrobe.
Our man-and-van service handles this in one trip for most one-bedroom or studio setups.
We offer a discounted hourly rate for loads that take under two hours, making us genuinely affordable for students who are watching their budget.
We also offer box rental, which saves you buying new ones.
Book through the app, confirm your student address and postcode, and we handle the rest.
No contracts, no minimum hours.
Just a clean, insured van and a crew that gets on with it.

Office and Business Removals in South Edinburgh
01
Craigmillar sits at the edge of a fast-developing commercial zone.
The Edinburgh BioQuarter on Little France Drive is one of Scotland's largest life-sciences clusters, with dozens of businesses ranging from small start-ups to NHS facilities. The retail park at Jewel and Braid Road serves the local community but also contains commercial units that regularly change tenants.
02
Giant Van handles office and business removals across this part of Edinburgh.
We move desks, server racks, filing cabinets, display units and breakroom equipment. Our Luton vans fit standard office cubicle kits in two or three trips, and we can supply larger vehicles for bigger relocations. We understand that business downtime costs money. Our crews are briefed to work efficiently and quietly in occupied buildings, and we offer early-morning or evening slots to avoid disrupting your working day.
03
If you are moving a business within the EH16 postcode or from Craigmillar to another part of Edinburgh such as Leith Walk, Newington or the city centre, we can quote a fixed price for the whole job.
Fixed-price quotes remove the risk of an hourly booking running over budget. Call to discuss your office move, and we will visit the site if needed before quoting. All business bookings come with a written confirmation and full goods-in-transit insurance cover.

What Makes Giant Van Different in Edinburgh
Edinburgh has no shortage of removal companies, but most of them are not built around the same priorities as Giant Van.
Here is what sets us apart when you are searching for a removal van in Edinburgh.
First, we are fully insured.
Every van, every crew member and every item loaded carries goods-in-transit and public liability cover. You do not need to ask for proof; we send it with your booking confirmation.
Second, we are instant.
Our app produces a fixed quote in under 60 seconds. No call centre hold times, no surveyor visits for standard jobs, no waiting 48 hours for an email reply. If you need a van today, you can have one.
Third, we are transparent.
The price on your quote is the price on your invoice. We do not add fuel fees, staircase charges or weekend premiums after the job. Customers in Craigmillar, Niddrie, Little France and Duddingston all pay the same straightforward rate.
Fourth, our drivers know Edinburgh.
They understand which roads are tight near Craigmillar Castle, which junctions get busy near Cameron Toll, and where to park on Niddrie Mains Road without blocking residents. Local knowledge saves time and reduces stress on move day.
Finally, we offer GPS tracking as standard.
You watch the van on your phone, not the clock. It removes the anxiety of waiting and keeps everyone on the same page.
