Properties We Cover in Gorgie
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
How Giant Van Serves Gorgie
Gorgie is one of Edinburgh's busiest inner-city neighbourhoods. It sits just west of the city centre, bordered by Dalry to the north and Saughton to the west. Streets like Gorgie Road, Robertson Avenue, and Wardlaw Place are a daily part of our drivers' routes. We know the parking restrictions near Tynecastle Stadium on match days.
We know the tight turning circles off Westfield Avenue. That local knowledge saves time and avoids delays on your move.
Our team has helped hundreds of Gorgie residents move between tenement flats on McLeod Street, modern builds near the Edinburgh Canal, and family homes along Saughton Road North. If you are leaving a top-floor flat with no lift or clearing a large house near Saughton Park, we send the right vehicle and the right number of crew.
Giant Van is fully insured for goods in transit and public liability. Every move is GPS tracked so you always know where your belongings are. We offer same-day bookings when our schedule allows, which suits the fast-paced rental market in EH11. There are no hidden fees. The price you see in your quote is the price you pay.
That straightforward approach is why local residents trust us for their man and van in Gorgie, Edinburgh.
Your Gorgie Drop-off Made Simple
We keep our pricing simple and honest.
Our man and van service starts at £54 per hour, which covers the driver and a standard transit van. That rate suits small moves, single-room clears, or furniture deliveries within Gorgie or across Edinburgh.
For full home moves, we price by property size so you get a fixed cost upfront.
A one-bedroom flat on Wardlaw Street or Robertson Avenue typically costs between £250 and £400. Two-bedroom properties, common throughout Gorgie's tenement stock, range from £400 to £650.
Three-bedroom homes, such as those along Saughton Road North or near Westfield Park, range from £650 to £900.
These prices include loading, transport, and unloading.
We bring blankets, straps, and trolleys as standard. You do not pay extra for basic packing materials used during the move itself.
Factors that can affect the final cost include stair flights with no lift, parking permit requirements on narrow Gorgie streets, and long carry distances from a property entrance to the van.
We always flag these before confirming your booking. There are no surprise invoices at the end of a job.
If your move needs more time than estimated, we tell you at the first opportunity rather than after the fact.

Nothing Extra to Pay in Gorgie
The man and van in Gorgie, Edinburgh service is our most popular option.
It works well for studio and one-bedroom moves, student relocations, single-item collections, and flat clearances.
You get a trained driver, a clean transit van, and all the basic equipment needed for a safe move.
Our drivers are experienced with Edinburgh tenements.
These buildings are beautiful but they come with challenges.
Narrow stone staircases, low ceilings on upper landings, and communal doors that need propping open all require skill and patience.
We take care of your belongings the same way we would treat our own.
We also offer a two-person crew option, which we recommend for anything above a studio flat or when large furniture is involved.
Heavy items like sofas, wardrobes, and dining tables are safer and faster to move with two people.
The cost increase is modest and the time saved often makes the total price similar or lower than a solo-driver job that takes longer.
The Giant Van app lets you book in minutes.
You enter the pickup postcode, the delivery postcode, your floor level, and any special items.
The app returns a fixed price immediately.
You pay in full when you book — there's no deposit and nothing to pay on the day.
Our driver arrives in a GPS-tracked vehicle and sends you a real-time location update so you are never waiting and wondering.
Same-day bookings are available across Gorgie and EH11 when slots are open.
Book early in the morning for the best chance of a same-day slot.

The Gorgie Booking Process
- 01
Some moves need more than just a van and a driver.
If you are downsizing, renovating, or in between tenancies, Giant Van can help with packing and short-term storage alongside the main removal.
- 02
Our packing service covers all room types.
We bring double-walled boxes, bubble wrap, tissue paper, and wardrobe boxes. Fragile items like glassware, artwork, and electronics are packed individually and clearly labelled. Packing is charged per hour alongside the move, and we can give you an estimate based on the number of rooms during your quote call.
- 03
Storage in Edinburgh can be hard to find at short notice.
We work with trusted local partners near Gorgie to offer flexible storage from a single week to several months. Items are stored in secure, dry units and can be collected or redelivered when you are ready.
- 04
This is useful for Gorgie tenants whose new property is not ready on move-out day, which is a common situation in Edinburgh's competitive rental market.
- 05
If you only need boxes and packing materials, we sell them directly.
Call and we will arrange a delivery to your Gorgie address, or collect them from our nearest depot.
- 06
We do not charge a premium for combining packing, storage, and removal into one job.
In many cases, booking all three together saves you time and money compared to using separate providers.

Gorgie has some practical quirks worth knowing before your move day. Following these tips will make things go more smoothly and keep your costs down.
Book parking in advance. Many Gorgie streets have resident parking zones or double yellow lines. You may need a temporary parking suspension permit from Edinburgh City Council. Allow at least five working days to apply. Our team can advise which streets typically need this.
Check your stair access. Most Gorgie tenements are stone-built Victorian properties with tight, curved staircases. Measure your larger furniture against the stairwell width before move day. Items that do not fit by stairs sometimes need to go over a balcony, which requires specialist equipment and must be booked in advance.
Book early on the last Friday of the month. This is the single busiest day for removals in Edinburgh because most tenancy agreements end on that date. If your move date is fixed at month end, contact us as far ahead as possible to secure your slot.
Pack room by room and label every box with its destination room, not just its contents. This speeds up unloading significantly. Our drivers stack boxes by destination room in the van when the labelling makes it possible.
Finally, if you are moving during a Hearts FC home fixture, factor in the traffic and crowd movement around Tynecastle. The stadium is central to Gorgie and its matchday footfall affects roads and parking within a quarter mile of McLeod Street for several hours before and after kickoff.
