Flat and Apartment Removals in Edinburgh

Flat and apartment removals covers studios, one and two-bed flats and single rooms in shared flats, moved with enough hands to clear the stairs safely. We work across Edinburgh's tenements and modern blocks alike, protecting the walls, the banisters and your furniture on the way down.

A flat move stands or falls on the common stair, and in the older tenements that can mean a stone spiral built long before anyone owned a corner sofa. We plan the carry around the building, from a ground-floor studio to a fourth-floor flat under the roof in Marchmont or Leith, so nothing ends up wedged on a landing.

Top-floor flats with no lift

Plenty of Edinburgh flats have no lift, so a top-floor move means every item goes up or down a shared stone stair by hand. We plan the carry, bring the numbers to do it safely and cover the common parts so you stay on good terms with the close.

The floor and whether there is a lift are the details that shape the job, so let us know both when you ask for a price.

Awkward turns and stair doors

The city's older tenements were laid out long before flat-pack wardrobes, and some turns simply will not take a large piece whole. We would rather spend two minutes taking a leg off a sofa or splitting a bed base than push it through and mark the paint.

If something genuinely cannot clear the stair, we tell you before the day so there is nothing to find out on the morning.

Shared entrances and where the van goes

Flats usually mean a buzzer entrance you cannot prop open and a street inside a controlled zone where the van cannot sit for long. We come ready for both, whether that is a shorter carry from the nearest legal spot or an earlier start before the resident parking fills.

Tell us about the entrance and the road when you book and we plan the load to suit.

A clear price for a flat move

We price a flat move on the number of rooms, the floors involved and the distance, not on a rough guess. Give us those basics and you get one figure with nothing hidden in it.

Send us the date and we will hold a slot for your date of entry or the end of your let.

Frequently asked questions

Can you bring furniture down from a top floor?+

Yes. Top-floor tenement moves are a weekly job for us, and where there is no lift we carry everything down the common stair. Tell us the floor when you book.

What if my sofa will not fit the stairwell?+

We part-dismantle where we can, and if a piece truly will not make the turn we flag it before the day. Let us know the item in advance so we bring enough people.

Do you move a single room from a shared flat?+

Yes. Room moves out of shared flats are one of the most common jobs we do across the city.

How high up a tenement will you carry?+

To the top. Four flights is routine. What the height changes is how many of us come, not whether we take the job.

Will the stair get marked?+

Not if we do it properly. Furniture is wrapped before it leaves the flat and we take care on the turns, since damage to a shared stair lands back on the residents.

What about the cobbles and setts?+

They slow the van rather than stop it. Fragile things get packed with that in mind, because a load that would be fine on tarmac gets shaken about on the older streets.
