House Removals in Craigmillar, Edinburgh — FAQs
How much do house removals in Craigmillar cost?
The cost of house removals in Craigmillar depends on the size of your property, the distance to your new address and any additional services such as packing or storage. A one-bedroom local move within Edinburgh typically starts from around £350, while a larger three to four bedroom move with full packing can range from £800 to £1,500.
Giant Van provides fixed-price quotes with no hidden charges — request yours online for an accurate figure.
Do you offer packing services as a standalone option in Craigmillar?
Yes. You can book our packing team independently of the removal van. This is popular with customers who prefer to organise their own transport or who are moving with another company but want professional packing. Our crew will arrive with all materials, pack your entire property or selected rooms, and leave everything clearly labelled and ready for moving day.
Standalone packing is charged by the half-day or full day.
Can you move furniture to a single Edinburgh address from Craigmillar?
Absolutely. Our furniture delivery in Craigmillar service covers single-item moves, multi-item loads and everything in between. We can collect from your property in EH16 and deliver anywhere in Edinburgh or across central Scotland. Timed delivery slots are available, and our vans carry protective blankets and straps as standard so your furniture arrives in perfect condition.
How far in advance should I book a removal in Craigmillar?
We recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance for a standard move. Weekend slots and school-holiday dates fill up particularly quickly across Edinburgh. That said, we do keep some capacity for last-minute bookings, so if your completion date is imminent, call our Edinburgh office directly and we will do our best to accommodate you.
Early booking also gives you more time to arrange parking bay suspensions if needed.
Do you suspend parking bays for removals in EH16?
We can manage the bay suspension application on your behalf as part of our full-service package. Edinburgh Council requires a minimum of five working days' notice for a suspension on a permit-controlled street. Many roads in Craigmillar are permit-controlled, so it is important to factor this in.
Our move coordinator will check your specific street and advise on the best approach to ensure the van can park close to your front door.
Is my furniture insured during a Giant Van removal?
Yes. This covers damage or loss caused by our team during loading, transit and unloading. Higher cover is available for valuable or antique items — simply declare these when you request your quote. Our public liability insurance also protects your property against any accidental damage caused during the move.
Can you store my belongings between properties in Edinburgh?
Yes. Our secure Edinburgh storage facility accepts items from Craigmillar and all surrounding areas. Belongings are stored in sealed, containerised units monitored by 24-hour CCTV. Storage is available from a single overnight stay to several months. Pricing is transparent and billed weekly with no long-term contract required.
We redeliver to your new address once you have your keys, with no extra collection charge.
What areas near Craigmillar do you also cover?
Giant Van covers all areas surrounding Craigmillar including Duddingston, Niddrie, Newcraighall, Liberton, Gracemount, Gilmerton and Danderhall. We also operate across all Edinburgh postcodes from EH1 to EH30 and beyond into Midlothian, East Lothian and West Lothian.
