Tight Spaces in Leith: Our Approach

Leith has some of the most varied access conditions in Edinburgh.
Knowing the area matters. Our drivers have worked these streets for years and understand exactly where the pinch points are.
The Shore is a popular collection and delivery point.
Parking restrictions apply along the waterfront, particularly between Commercial Street and the Leith Shore roundabout. Our drivers know which side streets off Tolbooth Wynd and Henderson Street offer short-term loading access.
Easter Road can become congested during match days at Hibs Football Club.
If you're moving near the EH7 boundary or along Restalrig Road South, we'll plan your slot to avoid those bottlenecks.
Leith Walk, running from the EH6 boundary down through Pilrig, has active tram works and restricted bus lanes.
Heavy vehicles face timed restrictions on sections of Leith Walk, particularly between Foot of the Walk and McDonald Road. We route around these where possible.
Great Junction Street and Constitution Street are both navigable for our vans but can see heavy traffic during school pick-up hours.
Tenement blocks along these streets typically have shared stairwells with tight landings. We account for that when quoting.
The Shore development area and areas around Ocean Terminal (EH6 6JJ) have new-build flats with basement car parks and lift access.
Our team is experienced with these buildings, including bay reservation procedures for loading.
For properties in Newhaven or Granton adjacent to EH6, we apply the same local knowledge.
We'll ask about access, floors, and lifts when you book, so nothing slows us down on the day.

Key Steps Before Your Leith Move

6 Tips

Here are five practical steps that save time and money on moving day.
Leith has controlled parking zones across much of EH6. Contact Edinburgh City Council at least 48 hours ahead to request a temporary suspension outside your property. This prevents a loading delay while we circle the block.
Many tenement flats on Duke Street, Burgess Street, and Iona Street have narrow half-landings. A sofa that fits in the living room may not get round the bend. Know this in advance so we can plan the right approach, whether that's disassembly or a window hoist.
When your driver arrives, a labelled box goes straight to the right room. It cuts the unloading time by 20 to 30 minutes on a typical two-bedroom move.
Move rugs, clear hallways, and unlock storage cupboards. Five minutes of prep at your end saves our team from working around obstacles and reduces the risk of scratching woodwork.
Morning slots between 8am and 10am give you the best chance of completing a Leith move before the afternoon traffic builds on Leith Walk and Easter Road. Same-day slots are available from £80 but morning bookings tend to run the most smoothly.
