Professional Removals Options for Aberdeen Customers

Aberdeen sits in the north-east corner of Scotland, where the River Dee meets the North Sea.

Fully InsuredGPS TrackedFixed PriceSame-Day AvailableTrained Team

It is the third-largest city in Scotland and one of the UK's most important economic centres outside London.

The city's oil and gas history has shaped its housing stock, and many properties are built from locally quarried Rubislaw granite, giving the city its silver sheen.

Giant Van provides full professional removals across Aberdeen and the surrounding Aberdeenshire region.

If you are moving a studio flat in Rosemount (AB25), a family home in Cults (AB15), or an office in the city centre (AB11), our teams handle every job to the same standard.

Our man with a van Aberdeen service starts from £48 for a single load.

House removals range from £250 to £850 depending on property size.

Office relocations start from £300.

Every booking includes a fully insured vehicle, a trained driver, and real-time GPS tracking so you always know exactly where your belongings are.

We do not operate a call centre.

When you message us in the live chat, you reach a real person who can confirm your slot and answer questions about your specific route.

For most Aberdeen postcodes, we can offer a same-day booking before midday.

Aberdeen removal companies vary widely in quality and reliability.

Giant Van is fully insured, uses modern vehicles with load restraints, and trains every driver in furniture protection and safe loading.

We cover both residential and commercial moves with no hidden charges on the final invoice.

Smart Professional Removals Route Planning in Aberdeen

Aberdeen presents specific access challenges that catch out removal companies unfamiliar with the city.
Union Street, the main city-centre artery running east to west, has bus lanes that are active until 7pm Monday to Saturday.
Residential side streets off Union Street, such as Crown Street and Bon Accord Street, have tight turning circles that require a smaller luton van rather than a full articulated lorry.
The Beach Boulevard area (AB24) near the AECC is popular with oil industry workers and has a high proportion of modern apartment blocks with controlled car parks.
Many buildings here require a fob or intercom code for lift access. Inform our driver of any access codes in advance to avoid delays on moving day.
Rosemount Viaduct and the streets surrounding His Majesty's Theatre have active resident-only parking zones from 8am to 6pm.
We carry standard parking suspension forms and can advise we handle a council permit, but you will need to apply at least five working days in advance through Aberdeen City Council.
Properties on King's Gate and Rubislaw Den North in the West End (AB15) often have long driveways with mature trees on either side.
Our drivers measure their vehicles before committing to a route. If your driveway is narrower than 2.8 metres, let us know and we will bring an appropriately sized vehicle.
Old Aberdeen, around the University of Aberdeen campus near St Machar's Cathedral, has cobbled streets and stone-set lanes.
Our vehicles are equipped for cobbled surfaces, but parking is extremely limited. We recommend booking a 7am or 8am start for properties in this area to avoid student traffic and daytime restrictions near the campus.
The A90 and the Anderson Drive ring road are the primary routes for southbound removals leaving Aberdeen.
Northbound moves towards Dyce or Inverurie use the A96. Our GPS tracking system updates your move in real time so you can follow progress from your phone.

Crew Tips for Better Professional Removals in Aberdeen

7 Tips

Here are five steps that apply specifically to Aberdeen properties.
Aberdeen City Council operates several controlled parking zones across AB10, AB11, and AB15. Use the council's online parking map to check your street before moving day. If your property is in a controlled zone, apply for a parking suspension permit at least five working days ahead.
Aberdeen has a number of tower blocks in Tillydrone (AB24) and Torry (AB11). Standard removal sofa dimensions are 220 cm long and 90 cm wide. Many lifts in 1960s and 1970s blocks are only 100 cm deep. Measure your lift before booking and tell us in advance.
Aberdeen tenement flats in Ferryhill and Ruthrieston often have steep stair flights between floors with no natural light. Clear labelling speeds up loading significantly in these properties.
Our drivers cannot transport a refrigerator that is still running. A standard fridge needs 12 hours to defrost fully before a move.
Our packing service starts from £150 and includes double-walled boxes, bubble wrap, and wardrobe cartons. Aberdeen properties often have large amounts of outdoor and sporting equipment given the proximity to the Cairngorms National Park. Tell us in advance if you have bicycles, kayaks, or ski equipment.

Use our app or website to enter your collection postcode, your destination postcode, and the approximate volume of your move. Our pricing engine calculates your estimate in under 30 seconds. Alternatively, call and speak to a team member directly.

Our GPS tracking sends you a 30-minute heads-up when your driver is approaching. For morning slots in Aberdeen, most drivers depart from our nearest hub at around 7am.
05
Step four: loading your property.
The team conducts a quick walk-through of your property to assess the load order. Heavy items such as wardrobes and white goods go in first. Boxes and lighter items fill in around them. Furniture blankets protect all upholstered pieces.

Your live tracking link is active throughout the journey. For intercity moves out of Aberdeen, the driver will call you approximately 20 minutes before arrival at your destination.

Step six: unloading and placement.
The team places every item in the room you specify. We do not leave boxes in the hallway. If you want a wardrobe in the second bedroom on the right, that is where it goes.
