Office Removals New Town Edinburgh
New Town is one of Edinburgh's most active commercial districts, packed with Georgian office buildings, creative agencies, law firms, and financial services companies along streets like George Street, Queen Street, and Dundas Street. Moving office in this part of the city takes real local knowledge.
Narrow closes, basement loading bays, and restricted parking on EH2 and EH3 streets make every job more complex than it looks. Giant Van specialises in office removals across New Town, with crews who know exactly how to work within these constraints.
If you are relocating a two-person studio or a 40-desk corporate floor, we plan every move around your building's access, your team's working hours, and your budget. Message us in the live chat for a free, no-obligation quote.

Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
What We Move in New Town Edinburgh
Giant Van provides a full range of office removal services across New Town, covering everything from single-room studio relocations to multi-floor corporate moves. Our standard office removal package starts at £300 and rises to £600 depending on volume, distance, and access conditions at both your current and destination premises.
We handle furniture dismantling and reassembly, IT equipment packing, file and archive transfer, and secure disposal of unwanted items. Every crew member is trained in professional packing techniques to protect monitors, servers, and sensitive documents during transit.
New Town businesses also use our Man and Van service for smaller loads, priced from £48 to £300. This suits sole traders, hot-desking tenants, or companies moving a single department between buildings on Heriot Row, Abercrombie Place, or nearby side streets.
For businesses with a piano, artwork, or heavy specialist equipment, we offer tailored lifts starting at £150. Our vehicles include Luton vans with tail lifts, which are essential for ground-floor access along sections of Queen Street and Northumberland Street where kerbs are high and pavements are narrow.
Edinburgh removals of any scale benefit from a pre-move site survey. We visit your premises, measure doorways and stairwells, check lift dimensions if available, and map the most efficient loading route. That survey costs nothing and prevents costly delays on move day.
No Surprises on New Town Edinburgh Streets
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.

Work Out Your Moving CostCrew Tips for a Better New Town Edinburgh Move
City of Edinburgh Council requires advance notice, and last-minute applications are regularly refused. Your Giant Van coordinator handles this, but the earlier you confirm your date, the better.
Walk every room and mark items that are staying, going to storage, or being disposed of. New Town offices often accumulate surplus furniture in back rooms and attic spaces that slows packing significantly.
Reassembling a server rack or multi-screen trading desk in a new office on Frederick Street or Moray Place is far faster when every cable is pre-labelled.
Many New Town commercial buildings on Queensferry Street and Great Stuart Street have shared lobbies and lifts that require booking in advance to avoid clashes with other tenants.
Shredding or boxing loose papers into clearly labelled archive boxes saves significant time on arrival. Ask your Giant Van team about our secure document transit service for confidential files.
If your lease overlap allows it, move storage, archive boxes, and breakroom equipment a day or two before the main move. This cuts the critical move day from eight hours to four.
Coordinate with your IT provider to ensure broadband and phone lines at your new premises are live before furniture arrives. Waiting for an engineer while 20 desks sit in a corridor is a common and avoidable delay.

Giant Van operations
New Town Edinburgh: Why Repeat Customers Return
New Town businesses have specific requirements that general removal companies often underestimate.
Georgian buildings have tight staircases, low ceilings in basement and attic offices, and shared entrances where noise and disruption must be managed.
Giant Van crews work in New Town regularly, which means they arrive knowing these challenges rather than discovering them on move day.
We are punctual.
Early morning starts at 7:00 am mean vehicles are loaded and off restricted streets before the 10:00 am parking warden patrols begin on George Street and Queen Street.
This is not luck.
It is the result of planned, efficient loading rather than last-minute scrambling.
Our pricing is transparent.
Stairs are priced upfront based on what you tell us, so the crew can turn up and get on with the job.
Office removals from £300 to £600 cover the full service as described in writing.
We treat your property with respect.
Floor protection, door frame padding, and careful furniture wrapping are standard, not optional extras.
Edinburgh's Georgian interiors are not replaceable, and we know building managers in New Town take condition reports seriously at lease end.
Our team communicates throughout the move.
You receive a contact number for the crew leader on move day so you can track progress from your new office rather than standing in a corridor waiting for updates.
Giant Van has built a reputation across Edinburgh removals for doing exactly what we say we will do.
That applies whether the job is a Man and Van shift on Thistle Street or a full corporate move from Charlotte Square to Leith dockside.

When New Town Edinburgh Streets Are Quietest
Giant Van vs General Removal Companies for New Town Office Moves
Here is how Giant Van differs from general operators.
They know which streets have restricted morning access, which buildings have low basement clearances, and which properties need advance notice from the building manager. General companies often discover these issues on move day, causing delays and extra charges.
Many general operators leave this to the client, and moves on George Street or Queen Street without a valid suspension face fines and vehicle relocation by wardens.
Office removals are priced at £300 to £600 with all services included. General operators frequently apply stair charges, long-carry fees, and city-centre surcharges that inflate the final bill by 20 to 40 per cent.
Budget operators often use smaller, lighter vehicles that are not suited to corporate loads.
Confirming equivalent cover with a general operator requires careful reading of the small print.
It is the difference between a smooth, on-time move and an expensive, stressful day. Message us in the live chat to book Giant Van.
Giant Van brings experienced crews and proper planning to every office removal in New Town, Edinburgh.

Office Removals New Town Edinburgh — FAQs
How much does an office removal in New Town, Edinburgh cost?
Giant Van prices office removals in New Town from £300 to £600 for standard same-day moves covering offices up to around 20 desks. This includes a free site survey, packing materials, dismantling and reassembly, transit insurance, and parking suspension management. Man and Van services start from £48 for smaller loads. Call for a written quote based on your specific premises.
Do you need a parking suspension to move office on George Street or Queen Street?
Yes, most New Town streets including George Street, Queen Street, and Heriot Row require a formal parking suspension from City of Edinburgh Council to allow a removal vehicle to load safely. Giant Van manages this application for you as part of the service.
Applications typically take three to five working days, so confirming your move date at least one week ahead is strongly recommended.
How far in advance should I book a New Town office removal?
We recommend booking at least four to six weeks ahead for Friday moves or any move during spring and summer, when demand across Edinburgh removals is highest. For weekday moves in January, February, or October, two to three weeks is usually sufficient.
Moves during the Edinburgh Festival in August should be booked eight to ten weeks ahead due to vehicle restrictions on New Town streets.
Can Giant Van move office equipment including servers and monitors?
Yes. Giant Van crews are trained to pack and transport IT equipment including desktop computers, monitors, servers, and network hardware. We use anti-static bags, foam padding, and double-wall boxes for all electronics. We recommend labelling cables at both ends before disconnection.
Coordinating your IT provider separately to reconnect systems at the new premises on the same day is advisable for minimal downtime.
What postcode areas in Edinburgh do you cover for office removals?
Giant Van covers the full Edinburgh area for office removals. In New Town specifically, we work across EH2 and EH3, including George Street, Queen Street, Dundas Street, and Heriot Row. We also cover Stockbridge (EH4), Broughton (EH7), Leith (EH6), Old Town (EH1, EH8), West End (EH12), Morningside (EH10), and long-distance moves to other Scottish cities or UK destinations.
Do you offer out-of-hours office removals in New Town?
Yes. Giant Van offers early morning starts from 7:00 am and evening moves from 5:30 pm onward for businesses that cannot afford daytime disruption.
Early morning is particularly effective in New Town because most parking restrictions are not enforced before 8:30 am, giving our crew a clear window to load on streets like Thistle Street, Abercrombie Place, and Scotland Street without delays from wardens.
Is transit insurance included in the office removal price?
Yes, transit insurance is included as standard in every Giant Van office removal package. This covers your items while they are in our vehicles during transport between New Town premises. Floor and door frame protection materials are also included at no extra charge to protect period building interiors during loading and unloading.
The full scope of cover is confirmed in your written quote before the move.
What is the best day of the week to move office in New Town?
Friday is the most popular choice because it leaves the weekend for IT reconnection and office setup before Monday. However, mid-week moves on Tuesday or Wednesday are often more cost-effective and easier to schedule, with greater crew and vehicle availability. Avoid August if possible due to Edinburgh Festival vehicle restrictions on New Town streets.
