Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Every Move Type in Bonnyrigg
Bonnyrigg is a busy commuter town in Midlothian, sitting just south of Edinburgh city centre.
Many residents move regularly between Bonnyrigg and the wider Edinburgh area, making reliable packing services essential.
Giant Van has built a strong track record across EH19, covering properties on Hopefield Road, Bonnyrigg High Street, and the newer residential streets off Lasswade Road.
Our packing service starts from £150 and covers everything a standard removal requires.
We supply all materials, including double-walled boxes, tissue paper, bubble wrap, wardrobe boxes, and specialist dish packs.
Nothing is left to chance.
Every item is wrapped, labelled, and loaded in a sequence that protects your belongings and speeds up unpacking at the other end.
We work with tenants, homeowners, and landlords.
If you are clearing a one-bedroom flat near Bonnyrigg Community Centre or packing a four-bedroom semi-detached on Edinburgh Road, our teams are experienced with all property types in the area.
Packing services can be booked as a standalone service or combined with a full house removal.
Many Bonnyrigg customers choose our full packing and removals package, which removes all stress from moving day.
Prices are fixed from the moment you receive your quote.
No hidden extras, no surprise charges on the day.

Getting to Your Bonnyrigg Property
Bonnyrigg presents some access conditions that our drivers handle every week.
Understanding the local road layout helps us plan your move correctly and avoid delays.
The town centre around Bonnyrigg High Street has limited parking on weekdays.
Our operations team contacts Midlothian Council in advance when parking suspensions are needed. For addresses directly on the High Street or near King George V Park, we recommend booking early in the morning before traffic builds.
Lasswade Road and Edinburgh Road are the main arterial routes into Bonnyrigg.
Both can carry significant commuter traffic between 07:30 and 09:00 and again between 16:30 and 18:30. We schedule our Bonnyrigg packing crews to arrive before or after these windows wherever possible. This keeps your move on time.
The residential streets around Poltonhall and Cockpen Road feature tighter turning circles that suit our medium-sized Luton vans rather than larger lorries.
Our fleet includes vehicles of multiple sizes, so we always send the right van for your street.
Properties near Bonnyrigg Railway Station and the streets off Waverley Road sometimes have shared closes or communal stairwells.
Our packers are trained to work efficiently in narrow spaces without damaging walls, banisters, or door frames. We bring protective corner guards and floor runners as standard.
If your Bonnyrigg property has a steep driveway, split-level access, or shared entrance, mention this when booking.
It costs nothing to flag it early, and it allows us to bring the correct equipment and allocate the right crew size. Our GPS tracking means you can follow your van's progress on the day.

Same-day packing starts from £80 for smaller jobs. Long-distance removals from Bonnyrigg start from £500 and packing can be added to any long-distance booking.

Work Out Your Moving CostHow to Prepare for Moving Day in Bonnyrigg
Follow them and your move will go faster and cost less.
The spare bedroom and loft storage in most Bonnyrigg homes can be packed two to three weeks before moving day. This clears space and reduces last-minute pressure.
Charity shops on Bonnyrigg High Street accept furniture and clothing. Every bag you donate is one fewer box your crew needs to pack, wrap, and load.
Write the destination room on the top and one side of each box. Add "open first" to boxes containing kettle, mugs, bedding, and phone chargers.
Documents, jewellery, and medication should travel with you personally. Do not hand these to the packing crew, regardless of how well organised the move is.
A quick photo of the cables behind your television or home office setup takes thirty seconds and saves significant time when you reconnect at the other end.
Duvets, towels, and jumpers protect fragile items just as well as bubble wrap for internal packing. This reduces the number of specialist boxes needed and can lower your overall packing cost.
Having everything packed and ready means your removal crew can start loading immediately, cutting the total time on site and reducing the overall cost of your move.

Clear Costs for Your Bonnyrigg Move
Based in Edinburgh, our packing services in Bonnyrigg cover every element of the packing process.
Here is exactly what is included when you book.
All materials are supplied and included in the price.
This covers double-walled removal boxes in three sizes, specialist book boxes, wardrobe boxes with hanging rails, dish packs with internal dividers, tissue paper, bubble wrap, packing tape, and permanent markers for labelling.
You do not need to source or buy a single item before we arrive.
Our packing crews wrap every fragile item individually.
Glassware, crockery, picture frames, ornaments, and mirrors all receive separate wrapping and are packed into purpose-built boxes with appropriate void fill.
Nothing is placed loose in a box.
Furniture disassembly is included where required.
Flatpack beds, wardrobes with removable sections, and dining tables are taken apart by the crew, with fixings bagged and taped to the relevant piece of furniture.
This prevents lost screws and speeds up reassembly.
All boxes are labelled with their contents and the destination room.
Our standard labelling system uses colour-coded tape alongside written labels, making it fast to identify boxes at the other end.
Full insurance is included on every packing service.
Your belongings are covered from the moment our crew begins wrapping to the moment the last box is placed in your new home.
A post-pack walkthrough is carried out before we leave.
Your packing supervisor checks every room with you to confirm nothing has been missed.
Only then do we close the job and prepare for loading or collection.

Bonnyrigg Moving Done Right
Giant Van is not the only removals company serving Bonnyrigg. But there are specific reasons why residents in EH19 keep coming back and recommending us to neighbours.
Same-day packing is available on most dates. If your move is urgent or your original plans changed, call and we will confirm availability for same-day service. Same-day packing starts from £80 for smaller jobs and is fully insured in the same way as pre-booked services.
Instant quotes mean no waiting. Most removals companies in the Edinburgh area require a home survey or a call-back. Giant Van provides fixed prices immediately, either by phone or through the app. The price you are quoted is the price you pay.
Our app gives you GPS tracking throughout your move. You can see exactly where your van is from your phone. This is especially useful if you are travelling separately to your new home and want to know when to expect the crew.
All packing services are fully insured. This is not a basic liability policy. Your belongings are covered at their full replacement value from the moment our crew begins work.
Every move is handled by experienced, vetted crews. We do not use agency staff or subcontractors for packing work in Bonnyrigg. Every packer has been trained to our standard and has undergone background checks before working with customers.
Furniture removal is priced separately if needed, starting from £48 for single items. Packing and furniture removal can be combined into a single booking with one fixed price covering everything.

Packing Services vs DIY Packing in Bonnyrigg
Here is an honest comparison to help you decide.
Removal boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and wardrobe boxes from Edinburgh suppliers typically cost between £80 and £150 for a two-bedroom property. This is before your time is factored in.
A two-bedroom Bonnyrigg home takes the average person two to three full days to pack properly. A professional crew of two completes the same job in four to six hours.
Our crews wrap items to a tested standard. DIY packing, particularly for glassware, mirrors, and electronics, carries a significantly higher risk of damage during transit. Breakages from poorly packed boxes are not covered by standard removal insurance policies.
For many Bonnyrigg customers, the decision to use a professional packing service is primarily about time rather than cost. Moving is stressful enough without spending three days wrapping plates in the kitchen while also managing the rest of the logistics.
Giant Van provides packing services across Edinburgh and Midlothian.
Our Bonnyrigg teams are available seven days a week, including bank holidays.
All services are fully insured and priced transparently from the first quote.
