We can arrange a pre-move survey to assess access, parking restrictions, and any items that need specialist packing attention.
Can you handle house removals from London to Edinburgh?
Yes. Our house removals London to Edinburgh service is a fully managed, door-to-door move that covers packing, loading, long-distance transport, and unloading at your new home. We run regular routes between the two cities, and your belongings are covered by our goods-in-transit insurance throughout the journey.
We can also arrange a part-load service if you are moving a smaller volume of items.
Do you provide rubbish removals in Edinburgh before a move?
Yes. Our rubbish removals Edinburgh service can be booked ahead of your packing date to clear unwanted items from your Sciennes property. We remove old furniture, white goods, garden waste, and general household rubbish. Materials are sorted and recycled wherever possible.

A partial packing service for one or two rooms typically starts from £150. A full-house pack for a two-bedroom flat generally ranges from £300 to £500, inclusive of all materials.
We provide a fixed, written quote before any work begins.
Can I just buy work from home packing boxes without a packing service?
Absolutely. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can deliver work from home packing boxes, standard removal boxes, wardrobe boxes, and packing materials directly to your Sciennes address. Orders are usually delivered next-day across Edinburgh. Boxes come flat-packed with tape, and we can advise on quantities based on your property size and the amount of home office equipment you have.
How far in advance should I book packing services in Edinburgh?
We recommend booking at least two to three weeks before your moving date, particularly during busy periods such as the end of university terms or the summer months, when demand across Edinburgh's southside is highest. However, we do accept short-notice bookings where capacity allows. Contact us as soon as your moving date is confirmed to secure your preferred slot.
Are my belongings insured during packing and transit?
Yes. All items packed and transported by Giant Van Removals are covered by our goods-in-transit insurance. This applies if you use our packing service or pack items yourself.
We recommend informing us of any particularly high-value items, such as artwork, jewellery, or specialist home office equipment, so we can ensure appropriate packing materials and coverage levels are in place before moving day.
