Leith Walk Moving Services We Offer
Leith Walk is one of Edinburgh's longest and busiest thoroughfares. It stretches from Picardy Place at the top all the way down to Foot of the Walk near the Shore. Moving along this road, or into the side streets branching off it, is not always straightforward. Parking is limited. The tenement closes are tight.
Many flats sit on the second or third floor with no lift.
Giant Van understands how Leith Walk works. Our man and van Edinburgh teams arrive ready for exactly these conditions. We use proper removal blankets, box dollies and stair carry techniques. Your furniture gets moved without scuffs on the woodwork or marks on the stairwell walls.
We cover all the postcodes that feed off Leith Walk: EH6 8, EH7 4 and EH7 5. That includes streets like Pilrig Street, Albert Street, Brunswick Street and Montgomery Street. We also serve the New Town end near London Road and East London Street.
Our vans range from a small transit for a few boxes to a Luton with a tail lift for a full three-bedroom tenement. You pick what you need. Prices start from £54 per hour for a man and van. We charge honestly with no hidden extras. The quote you get is the price you pay.
Our Route Knowledge in Leith Walk
Buying a sofa from a seller on Pilrig Street?
Collecting a wardrobe from the Leith Links area? Our pick up service for furniture covers single items through to full room sets. You do not need to hire a full removal crew. We can send one driver with the right van for the job.
This service is popular with Leith Walk residents who shop on Gumtree, Facebook Marketplace or charity shops along Easter Road.
Many of these items are large. A standard car will not carry them. A taxi is not an option. That is where we step in.
We collect from any address in Edinburgh and deliver to your door.
If you are on the third floor of a tenement on Iona Street or Manderston Street, our team will carry items up for you. We wrap everything securely before loading so nothing gets damaged in transit.
Our pick up service for furniture also works for businesses.
If you run a cafe or a flat-let near the Playhouse or Omni Centre and need furniture moved between properties, we can handle that too. Same-day availability means you are not waiting a week for a collection slot.
Book through our app or call.
You will have a confirmed time slot and a GPS-tracked driver on the way within the hour.

Work Out Your Moving CostHow to Prepare for Moving Day in Leith Walk
A two-bedroom flat on Leith Walk holds more than it looks. Books, kitchenware, clothes and electronics all take time to box properly. If packing is not done right, items break in transit. Fragile things need wrapping. Heavy things need balanced boxes.
Our team brings all the materials: double-wall boxes, tissue paper, bubble wrap, packing tape and labels. We work to a system so everything is packed by room and labelled clearly for unpacking at the other end.
Many of our Leith Walk customers are working professionals with no free days in the week. We can come in on a Saturday or a Sunday and have an entire flat packed by lunchtime.
If you want to handle your clothes and books yourself but need help with the kitchen and living room, we can do just that. You stay in control of what we touch and what we leave to you.
Prices are included in your instant quote. There are no surprise charges when we arrive. Call or use our app to get your packing quote in seconds.

Moving Across Leith Walk and Beyond
Leith Walk sits close to several Edinburgh university campuses and student accommodation blocks.
The area around Calton Hill, East London Street and the top of Leith Walk has a high concentration of student lets. August and September are our busiest months here as students move in. June and July are almost as hectic as tenancies end.
Giant Van works with students across Edinburgh.
Our man and van Edinburgh service is flexible enough to handle a single room move. If you are shifting from a shared flat on Bothwell Street or Haddington Place to a new let near Meadowbank, we can do that in one hour at the hourly rate.
We also help with end-of-year storage collections.
If you are finishing your studies and need items collected and held until you find a permanent address, we can arrange that. Our network includes trusted storage partners in Edinburgh with secure, dry units available short or long term.
For parents helping children move into Leith Walk accommodation, we offer a flexible service.
You can book the van for two hours to move essentials and extend on the day if the job takes longer. You only pay for the actual time used.
Student discounts are available.
Ask about our current offers when you call or request a quote through the app. We keep prices fair because student budgets are real budgets.

Quality and Care in Every Leith Walk Move
Leith Walk has changed a lot in the past decade. New bars, restaurants and independent shops have moved in alongside long-standing locals. The housing market is active. People move in and out regularly. That means there is constant demand for a removal service that actually delivers.
Giant Van has built a reputation along this corridor of Edinburgh for showing up on time, working efficiently and treating customers' belongings with care. Our drivers know the parking restrictions on Leith Walk itself. They know which side streets allow loading and which have resident permit zones. This local knowledge saves time and avoids fines.
We are fully insured for public liability and goods in transit. Every move is covered. If anything is damaged during the move, we sort it. No arguments, no delays.
Our app lets you manage the entire booking from your phone. You can book, track, and pay without a single phone call if you prefer. That said, our Edinburgh team is available on seven days a week for anyone who wants to talk through the job first.
We do not outsource to unknown drivers. Every Giant Van driver is vetted, trained and part of our own network. You know who is coming. You can see their rating before they arrive. That consistency is why customers in EH6 and EH7 come back to us and recommend us to neighbours.
