Business Premises in Corstorphine
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
What Corstorphine Can Book
Corstorphine sits in the west of Edinburgh, roughly three miles from the city centre along the A8 corridor. The postcode area EH12 covers a mix of professional business premises, converted Victorian townhouses used as offices, and modern commercial units near Edinburgh Zoo and Maybury Road. That variety creates real logistical complexity when you need to move.
St John's Road is the main commercial spine of Corstorphine. It carries heavy bus traffic from the No. 26 and No. 38 routes, which means loading during peak hours creates real problems. Our drivers plan arrival windows between 7:30am and 9:00am or after 6:30pm when restrictions ease.
If your office sits on a side street off St John's Road, such as Balgreen Road or Featherhall Avenue, access for larger vehicles usually requires advance checking of dropped kerbs and turning circles.
The area around Edinburgh Zoo on Corstorphine Road (A8) also sees high tourist traffic in summer months. Parking enforcement is active near the Drum Brae junction and along Clermiston Road to the north. We always send a driver to assess loading zones before your move day so there are no surprises.
Corstorphine also has several purpose-built office parks and serviced office buildings along Westfield Road and South Gyle Crescent nearby. These tend to have clearer loading bays, but bay access is often time-limited or shared, so booking a specific window is essential.
Our GPS-tracked fleet lets you and your team follow the van in real time so you can coordinate at both ends without phone tag.

For moves in Edinburgh, giant Van provides a full range of office removal services across Corstorphine and the wider EH12 postcode.
If you are a sole trader moving a home office on Kirk Loan or a 30-person team relocating from serviced offices on Westfield Road, we have the vehicles and crew to match.
Our man and van service in Corstorphine starts from £54 per hour.
This suits small office moves, single-room clearances, or moving specific equipment such as server units, standing desks, or filing cabinets.
You get a professional driver and a large luton van, plus loading help as needed.
For larger office moves, we offer fixed-price packages.

All moves include transit insurance as standard.

We disassemble and reassemble desks and storage units at no extra charge when booked as part of a full move package.
Same-day bookings are available subject to van availability.

Work Out Your Moving CostPlanning Ahead for Your Corstorphine Removal
Each route has its own access considerations.
Our drivers use the Roseburn route via Murrayfield Avenue when timing allows, bypassing the worst of the A8 congestion near the western approach.
These are residential roads with parked cars on both sides. Larger box vans can navigate them without difficulty, but we always confirm vehicle width against road conditions in the pre-move assessment.
This is one of the faster office-to-office moves we carry out from Corstorphine.
We charge by the hour for these jobs, with the man and van rate of £54 per hour making same-area relocations very cost-effective.
We handle this paperwork on your behalf when given five working days notice.

What Comes Standard in Corstorphine
Office moves rarely go smoothly without proper packing.
Loose cables, unsecured monitors, and poorly wrapped glassware in kitchen areas all create risk during transit.
Giant Van offers professional packing as an add-on service for all office removals in Corstorphine Edinburgh.
Our packing team arrives before the move crew.
They work through each room systematically: wrapping monitors in bubble film, boxing desktop units securely, labelling each box by department or desk number, and protecting printers and copiers with custom foam.
Every box is stacked to a consistent weight and sealed with tamper-evident tape.
For businesses that prefer to pack themselves, we supply double-walled cardboard boxes, bubble wrap rolls, and packing tape at competitive rates.
A starter pack for a five-desk office typically includes 30 boxes, two rolls of bubble wrap, and three rolls of tape.
Order through the app when booking your move.
We also carry out office clearances in Corstorphine for businesses downsizing, closing, or taking on new premises that require old furniture removed.
Cleared items are sorted for reuse, recycling, or disposal in line with Scottish waste regulations.
We provide a waste transfer note upon request, which many landlords and property managers require before releasing a deposit.
Confidential document shredding can be arranged alongside the clearance service.
This is particularly useful for legal, financial, and healthcare businesses in the EH12 area that hold sensitive client records in physical format.
We work with a certified destruction partner and issue a certificate of destruction on completion.

How We Schedule Corstorphine Removals
- 01
For moves in Edinburgh, modern offices run on technology that cannot afford to be damaged or lost during a move.
Giant Van crews handling office removals in Corstorphine are trained in safe IT equipment handling. We do not simply pile monitors into boxes or stack server towers without protection.
- 02
Every desktop computer, laptop, or peripheral device is individually wrapped and packed with adequate padding.
Server towers are transported upright in padded crates where possible. We recommend disconnecting all cables and labelling them before the crew arrives, but if your IT team is not available, our crew can assist with basic cable management and labelling as part of the service.
- 03
Monitors above 27 inches are particularly vulnerable to pressure cracking during transit.
We use purpose-built monitor sleeves and always pack these items flat only when manufacturer guidance permits. Check your monitor documentation, or ask our crew for guidance on your specific models.
- 04
Standing desks, electric height-adjustable units, and treadmill desks require partial disassembly before transport.
Most units have simple bolt or Allen key connections at the leg frame. We carry a full toolkit and can disassemble and reassemble these on site. Allow an extra 20 to 30 minutes per unit for this process.
- 05
Large format printers and plotters, common in architecture, engineering, and design offices in Corstorphine, are heavy and awkward.
A standard A0 plotter can weigh between 60 and 90 kilograms. We carry specialist dollies and ramps for this equipment and will not attempt to move these items without the correct tools.
- 06
If your premises are above ground floor without lift access, please confirm this when booking so we can assign the right crew size.

Corstorphine: Mapped, Covered, Ready
When moving in Edinburgh, getting a quote from Giant Van takes under two minutes.
You do not need to wait for a surveyor or a callback. Our online quoting system and mobile app give you a firm price instantly based on the details you enter.
To get an accurate quote for your Corstorphine office move, you will need to confirm: the EH12 postcode of your current premises, the postcode of your new location, the approximate volume of items (number of desks, filing cabinets, and large equipment), the floor level at both addresses and whether there is lift access, and we handle packing or clearance services alongside the move.
The system then returns a fixed price for full-service moves or an hourly rate estimate for man and van bookings.
Our GPS tracking is activated as soon as the van departs, so you can monitor arrival time from your phone.
Same-day office removals in Corstorphine are available when booked before 10:00am.
We cannot guarantee same-day crew for jobs requiring more than four hours of work, but smaller moves, single-room clearances, and equipment-only relocations can usually be accommodated on the day. Call directly for same-day enquiries as the app queue may run slightly behind live availability.
All prices are inclusive of fuel, transit insurance, and driver labour.
Every charge, including access, distance and clean-air zones, is shown in your quote before you pay.
A Note From Our Corstorphine Team

Our Track Record in Corstorphine
Corstorphine has a genuinely mixed business community. The area around St John's Road supports independent professionals, small accountancy firms, dental and medical practices, and a cluster of letting agencies serving the west Edinburgh property market. Further along Corstorphine Road toward Edinburgh Zoo, visitor-facing businesses operate alongside more traditional service providers.
The South Gyle corridor, which many EH12 businesses consider part of their operational catchment, is home to larger corporate tenants including financial services, technology, and logistics firms. We regularly move businesses between Corstorphine village-area offices and the South Gyle business park as companies scale up or right-size.
We also support Edinburgh Zoo itself and the associated commercial premises on Corstorphine Hill Road, which present their own challenges in terms of road access and parking. The winding approach to the zoo grounds requires smaller vehicles for some deliveries, and our man and van service is often the most practical solution for equipment moves in this immediate area.
Healthcare businesses in Corstorphine, including physiotherapy clinics, opticians, and GP satellite surgeries along St John's Road and in the Clermiston area, regularly use us for equipment-only moves when refitting treatment rooms or relocating clinical furniture. We carry blankets and straps specifically designed to protect clinical equipment during transit.
Professional services firms moving within or out of the EH12 6 and EH12 8 postcodes often need out-of-hours moves to avoid disrupting client appointments. We offer early morning starts from 6:30am and evening moves until 9:00pm, seven days a week. Weekend moves in Corstorphine are bookable at standard rates with no weekend surcharge applied.

Is parking a problem for office moves on St John's Road Corstorphine?
St John's Road is a busy bus corridor in Corstorphine with active parking enforcement. We plan loading windows for early morning before 9:00am or evening after 6:30pm where possible. For offices without adequate loading bay access, we can arrange a temporary parking suspension through Edinburgh City Council when given five working days notice. We handle all the paperwork.

Yes. We offer early morning starts from 6:30am and evening moves until 9:00pm, seven days a week including weekends.

Can Giant Van move between Corstorphine and South Gyle?
Absolutely. Moving between Corstorphine and South Gyle business park is one of our most common short-hop office relocations. The route via Maybury Road is under 1.5 miles and well-suited to our luton vans. South Gyle Crescent has good loading bay access at most commercial units. We typically complete this move in two to three hours for a small-to-medium office.

Can you clear old office furniture from our Corstorphine premises?
Yes. We offer full office clearance in Corstorphine for businesses that are downsizing, closing, or simply need old furniture removed before a new tenant moves in. Items are sorted for reuse, recycling, or disposal under Scottish waste regulations. We provide a waste transfer note on request.
