Moving Companies Edinburgh: Office Removals in New Town

New Town's street layout is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which brings restrictions that directly affect removals logistics.

The grid of streets running between Princes Street and Fettes Avenue was designed in the 18th century, long before commercial vehicles existed. That means tight turns at Charlotte Square, single-lane sections on Hill Street and Thistle Street, and very limited kerb access along the terraced Georgian rows.

Parking suspension permits are often required for removals on George Street, St Andrew Square, and Queen Street.

Giant Van manages this process for you, applying to City of Edinburgh Council for the relevant dispensation, which typically takes three to five working days. We include this in our planning phase so there are no surprises on move day.

Several New Town buildings have basement loading areas accessed via steep ramps on Young Street, Alva Street, or Rose Street Lane North.

Our crew leaders assess these ramps in advance to confirm vehicle clearance. Where a full Luton van cannot reach, we use a relay system with trolleys and smaller vehicles.

The EH2 postcode covers the heart of New Town and carries the highest concentration of professional services offices in Edinburgh.

EH3 extends north toward Stockbridge and east toward Broughton, including Canonmills and Scotland Street, where access is generally easier but parking remains limited during business hours.

Our preferred operating window for Edinburgh removals on these streets is 7:00 am to 10:00 am before peak traffic builds.

We can also arrange evening moves from 5:30 pm onward for businesses that cannot afford daytime downtime.

Giant Van covers the full New Town area and the surrounding Edinburgh neighbourhoods most commonly paired with New Town office relocations.

Within EH2 and EH3, we regularly work on George Street, Queen Street, Heriot Row, Dundas Street, Henderson Row, Great King Street, Northumberland Street, Abercrombie Place, Drummond Place, Scotland Street, and Canonmills.

We also cover the western section of New Town including Charlotte Square, Glenfinlas Street, and Alva Street, which fall within EH2 and border the West End.

Beyond New Town proper, our Edinburgh removals service covers:

- Stockbridge (EH3, EH4): Short drives north, popular for smaller office suites and creative businesses relocating from New Town - Broughton (EH1, EH7): East of New Town, including Broughton Street, Union Place, and the business cluster near Leith Walk - West End (EH3, EH12): Shandwick Place, Manor Place, and Melville Street, the natural westward expansion route for New Town businesses - Old Town (EH1, EH8): Frequent destination for companies moving between Edinburgh's two main commercial zones, including the Grassmarket, Cowgate, and the Royal Mile - Leith (EH6): The waterfront business district, increasingly popular for companies leaving New Town for larger, more affordable floor space - Morningside and Marchmont (EH9, EH10): Residential and boutique commercial, often involved in hybrid home-office relocations

We also move businesses from New Town to other Scottish cities and UK-wide destinations.

Long-distance office removals are quoted on a case-by-case basis. Call for a same-day estimate.
