Man and Van Service in Prestonpans
Prestonpans sits on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, about 10 miles east of Edinburgh city centre. It is a compact town with a strong community feel, and most moves here are local: a flat in the new-build streets off Gardiner Road, a student room near Prestonpans railway station, or a furniture delivery to one of the refurbished Victorian terraces on High Street.
Fully InsuredFixed PriceSame-Day Available
Our man and van service is priced from £45 for a single-item pick-up and goes up to £300 for a larger flat move with multiple trips. That range covers the majority of jobs we handle in EH32. Every booking includes a driver, a clean van, and loading help as standard. There are no hidden charges for mileage within the town boundary.
We run this service seven days a week, including bank holidays. Same-day bookings are accepted before midday, subject to van availability. If you book through our app, you get a live quote in under two minutes and can track your driver in real time. All loads are covered by our fully insured transit policy, so your belongings are protected from collection to delivery.
If you are moving a sofa from a property on Redburn Road, picking up a wardrobe off Facebook Marketplace, or clearing a storage unit near the town centre, we have done it before. Our drivers know Prestonpans well and plan the most direct route every time.
Access and Road Conditions in Prestonpans
Prestonpans is not a difficult town to work in, but there are a few access points our drivers prepare for on every job in the EH32 postcode.
High Street runs through the historic heart of the town.
It is narrow in places, with on-street parking that can reduce the usable road width significantly during the morning and early afternoon. Properties on the oldest stretches of High Street sometimes have no direct van access to the front door. Our drivers carry trolleys and moving straps to cover carries of up to 40 metres on foot.
The newer residential streets off Gardiner Road and around the Links Road area are more van-friendly.
Roads are wider, parking is less congested, and most properties have a short carry from kerb to front door. These areas account for a large proportion of the flat and maisonette moves we complete in Prestonpans each month.
Prestonpans railway station sits on the eastern edge of the town centre.
The car park area near the station can be used as a staging point when we need to break a bulky carry into two stages.
Preston Tower and the older estate properties east of the town centre occasionally have shared driveway access that requires coordination with neighbours.
We ask customers to let us know in advance if access involves a shared gate or a single-track road.
Parking for loading and unloading is generally available on residential streets.
There are no parking permit zones in Prestonpans that require advance permission. Our driver will always call 30 minutes before arrival to confirm access arrangements.

Get your exact price5 Tips for a Smooth Man and Van Move in Prestonpans
7 Tips
Demand for same-day moves in East Lothian is higher than most people expect, particularly on Saturdays. Booking early gives you the widest choice of time slots and the best chance of a morning pick-up.
The spiral staircases in some of the older tenement-style properties near Prestonpans High Street are narrow. A standard double wardrobe will not turn on most of them. Measure height and width in advance and let us know. We carry furniture removal tools for awkward pieces.
Move boxes away from doorways and keep children and pets in a separate room during the carry. A clear path from item to van cuts loading time and reduces the risk of accidental damage.
If you are moving to a new property, labelled boxes go straight to the right room. It saves a second carry and means you can unpack faster.
Prestonpans has a handful of streets where house numbers are not visible from the road. Sharing your location pin through the Giant Van app means our driver navigates directly to you, not to the nearest junction.

Why Prestonpans Residents Choose Giant Van
There are several removal companies operating in East Lothian. Here is what separates Giant Van from the rest.

Best Times to Book a Man and Van in Prestonpans
7 Tips
Here is what our booking data tells us about demand in the Prestonpans and East Lothian area.
If you have flexibility, these are the best days to book. You are more likely to get a morning slot, and our drivers are not rushing between back-to-back jobs. This matters in Prestonpans where High Street access can slow a job if timing is tight.
Demand spikes at the start and end of the working week as people time moves around work commitments. If you want a Friday slot, book at least three days ahead.
We often fill Saturday slots by Thursday afternoon during the spring and summer months. If you need a Saturday move, book early in the week.
Tenancy agreements in Scotland tend to expire on the 28th or the last day of the month. Between the 25th and 2nd, demand in Prestonpans and across East Lothian increases sharply. Plan ahead if your move date falls in that window.
If your move falls in these months, give us at least five days' notice for a guaranteed slot.
We handle last-minute jobs regularly in Prestonpans. We will always tell you honestly if we cannot make it work on the day.
