Homes We Pack in Easter Road
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Our Offering in Easter Road
Easter Road is one of Edinburgh's busiest residential corridors. It runs from the foot of Leith Walk all the way down towards Meadowbank. The area is packed with Victorian tenement flats, modern conversions, and purpose-built apartments. Packing for a move here takes real experience.
Giant Van's packing services start from £150. That covers packing materials, boxes, bubble wrap, and a trained packer for your property. We do not send inexperienced staff. Every team member has completed hands-on training in wrapping, stacking, and securing fragile items.
We handle every item type. That includes plates and stemware, artwork and mirrors, clothing and textiles, flat-pack furniture, and electronics. Each box is labelled clearly with the room it belongs to and a brief contents description. This makes unpacking at the other end fast and stress-free.
Our packing services in Easter Road can be booked as a standalone job or combined with a full removal. If you need a man and van from £48, a house removal from £250, or long-distance transport from £500, we can bundle it all into one booking. One call, one team, one fixed price.
Call for a same-day quote. You can also book through our app in under three minutes. We offer instant pricing with no hidden fees. What you see is what you pay.
Driving Through Easter Road: What We Know
Easter Road presents specific logistical challenges that our drivers and packers know well.
The main road itself carries heavy traffic, especially on match days at Easter Road Stadium. Hibs home fixtures bring crowds, parking restrictions, and road closures around the EH7 5QG area. We always check the fixture calendar before scheduling jobs near the stadium.
Side streets off Easter Road require careful navigation.
Iona Street, Lochend Road, and Restalrig Road South all have narrow junctions and on-street parking that can restrict van access. Our team carries traffic cones and uses standard parking suspension procedures where needed.
We advise customers to apply for a parking suspension at least 48 hours before moving day for streets with heavy permit restrictions.
Tenement properties on Easter Road typically have no lift.
Most have internal communal stairs with tight landings. Standard tenement stair width in Edinburgh EH7 is around 90 to 100 centimetres. Our packers know how to manoeuvre large items safely on these staircases without damage to walls or banisters.
Newer build properties around the Picardy Place end of Easter Road and near Meadowbank Retail Park tend to have lift access.
However, lift booking with building management is sometimes required. We advise customers to confirm lift availability before booking.
We operate vans from Transit-size up to Luton box vans.
For most Easter Road flats, a Transit Custom or a long-wheelbase Transit is the right size. Our team confirms the right vehicle when you book.

Work Out Your Moving CostSetting Up for a Smooth Easter Road Move
Tenement flats often have deep storage cupboards in the hall or bedroom. These accumulate more than you realise. Clear these two weeks before your move date to avoid last-minute panic.
Easter Road has residents' parking zones across much of EH7. A removal van needs at least two bays free directly outside your door. Edinburgh Council parking suspensions require a minimum of two working days' notice. Apply online at the Edinburgh City Council website for zone X or zone Q depending on your specific street.
If you have already grouped your fragile items in one place, our packers can work through them faster. This saves time and reduces your packing bill.
IKEA bed frames, wardrobes, and shelving units take significant time to disassemble. Doing this yourself the evening before reduces packing and loading time by up to 45 minutes on a typical one-bedroom flat.
Write "Kitchen" or "Bedroom 2" in large letters on at least two sides of every box. When unloading in a new property, this removes all guesswork and speeds up the process considerably.

When Is the Best Time to Move?
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
When Demand Drops in Easter Road
Here is what we know about Easter Road specifically.
Easter Road Stadium at EH7 5QG hosts Hibernian FC home matches from August through May. On these days, the surrounding streets become extremely congested from early afternoon. If you are moving on a Saturday, check the Hibs fixture list before confirming your date. We can advise on this when you call.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are consistently the easiest days to move on Easter Road and surrounding streets. Traffic is lighter. Parking is easier. Our teams can often arrive earlier and complete jobs faster on these days.
Most tenancy agreements in Edinburgh end on the last day of the month. This means the final weekend of each month sees the highest concentration of moves across EH7 and EH6. Removal vans compete for parking and lift access becomes harder in shared buildings.
June, July, and August see the highest demand for packing services across Edinburgh. If you are planning a summer move, book your packing service at least three weeks in advance. We do take last-minute bookings but availability is not guaranteed during peak months.
We recommend an 8am start for most Easter Road moves. This gives you the full day and avoids the mid-morning traffic build-up on Leith Walk and Easter Road itself.
Professional Packing vs Self-Packing
Many people in Easter Road start out planning to pack themselves. Some get it done well. Many do not. Here is an honest comparison of both approaches.
You buy your own boxes and do the work yourself. A typical one-bedroom flat might need 20 to 30 boxes. Boxes from a DIY store cost roughly £2 to £4 each. Add tape, bubble wrap, and packing paper and you are looking at £60 to £100 in materials alone.
Packing a one-bedroom flat properly takes most people 12 to 20 hours spread across several evenings. A professional packer covers the same job in 3 to 4 hours. If your time has any value, the arithmetic shifts quickly.
Professional packers use correct techniques. Plates go in vertically. Glasses are individually wrapped. Fragile items are double-cushioned. Most self-packers do not know these methods. Breakage during a self-packed move is common and rarely covered by standard home insurance during transit.
If anything breaks when our packers have handled it, we cover it. That protection does not exist when you pack yourself.
It reduces the number of trips up and down stairs, keeps the stairwell clear, and means the whole move is completed faster.
Giant Van provides packing services across Easter Road, Edinburgh, seven days a week.
Our trained packers bring all materials, wrap every item professionally, and label every box clearly.
If you are moving a studio flat or a four-bedroom house, we have the team and the equipment to handle it.
Packing services start from £150.
