Edinburgh Areas We Cover
Across the city and out into the Lothians: Leith, Newington, Marchmont, Bruntsfield, Morningside, Stockbridge, Gorgie, Portobello, Corstorphine, Colinton, Trinity and the New Town, plus Musselburgh, Livingston, Dalkeith, Penicuik, Linlithgow and South Queensferry.
Tenements, Cobbles and the Festival
Edinburgh has its own set of moving obstacles: stair-access tenements, controlled parking through most of the centre, cobbled streets that slow a loaded trolley to a crawl, and an August when half the city centre is closed to normal traffic.
- Stair flats — Marchmont, Bruntsfield and Leith are full of them, and the floor number changes the crew and the time.
- Controlled parking — a loading bay or suspension often needs arranging before the day.
- Festival month — August moves in the centre need earlier starts and more planning; we will say so honestly.
- Listed buildings — narrow original staircases where dismantling is sometimes the only way.
Tell us the address, the floor and the date, and you get a fixed figure that holds.
Student and Cross-Border Moves
The University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt and Napier fill Newington, Marchmont and Gorgie with shared flats, and much of that student traffic travels a long way — back down to England at the end of term and up again in September. Sharing a van between housemates going the same way is normally the cheapest option by a wide margin.
Cross-border relocations run on a dedicated van at one fixed price for the whole journey, loaded once and unloaded at the other end. More on our student moving services page.
What Else We Move
- Flat and house removals — tenements to family homes, with proper padding and straps.
- Single items and part loads — sofas, beds, wardrobes, Marketplace and eBay collections.
- Appliance delivery — fridge freezers, washing machines and dryers carried in and positioned.
- Office and business moves — desks, IT kit and stock, outside working hours where needed.
- Same-day courier — urgent documents, samples and parts across the Lothians and beyond.
Timing and Pricing
Edinburgh jobs are covered through drivers in our Scottish network, or with a dedicated van for cross-border and long-distance work. Smaller local jobs can often be placed same-day; full removals normally need a booked slot, and August fills early.
Everything is quoted as a fixed figure before we start — van size, distance, access and helpers all feed into it, but you will know the number in advance. Get one through the 60-second quote form, or call 07882 087375 and we will tell you honestly what is achievable today.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover the Lothians and Fife?
Yes. Alongside Edinburgh we cover Musselburgh, Dalkeith, Penicuik, Livingston, Linlithgow, South Queensferry and across the bridge into Fife, plus Glasgow and the rest of Scotland.
Can you move during the Festival in August?
Yes, but city-centre jobs need planning around road closures and restricted access, and early starts help a great deal. Give us as much notice as you can and we will tell you straight what is realistic for your street.
Do you do Edinburgh to England removals?
Regularly — Edinburgh down to Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham or London on a dedicated van, quoted as one fixed price covering the whole journey.
