What We Bring to Leith Walk
Leith Walk is one of Edinburgh's busiest streets. It runs from Picardy Place at the top right down to the foot of the Walk near Leith itself. Parking is tight. Narrow tenement closes, steep stairs, and double yellow lines make moving furniture here genuinely tricky without the right help.
Giant Van handles sofas, wardrobes, dining tables, and other bulky items on Leith Walk every week. Our drivers know the area well, including the back lanes off Pilrig Street, the tenement blocks near McDonald Road, and the newer build flats around Stead's Place.
We plan the lift and the route before we arrive so nothing gets scratched on a tight stairwell.
We use furniture blankets and strapping on every move. Your sofa gets wrapped before it goes anywhere near a door frame. For heavy or awkward pieces, we bring the right number of hands. Two-person lifts for most sofas, three for corner units or items going up more than two flights.
Our Man and Van service starts from £54 per hour. That covers the driver and a full-size transit van. For bigger loads or difficult access, we can quote a flat rate so you know the total before we start. Call or use our app to get a price in under a minute.

Beyond Leith Walk: Where Else We Go
When moving in Edinburgh, booking a removal with Giant Van on Leith Walk takes three steps.
Get a quote, confirm the booking, and wait for your driver.
The quote comes instantly through our app or website.
You enter your pickup address, the drop-off address, and the items you need moved. The system generates a price based on distance, item list, and any access notes you add. For more complex moves, you can call and speak to someone directly.
Once the booking is confirmed, you get a driver profile and GPS tracking.
You can see where your van is and when it will arrive. This matters on Leith Walk because parking is limited and you may need to warn a neighbour or temporarily block a close entrance. Knowing the exact arrival time makes that easier to manage.
On the day, the driver arrives, does a quick walk-through of the items and the route, and gets started.
We bring all the equipment we need, including blankets, straps, and trolleys. You do not need to supply anything. We wrap items before moving them and check for damage before unloading at the new address.
Payment is taken through the app after the job is done.
We accept card and contactless. No cash required.
