House Removals in Edinburgh

House removals here means a full home move handled end to end by a two-person crew, from packing help to the last box carried in at the other end. We move flats, tenements and houses across Edinburgh, wrapping the furniture, loading it safely and setting it down in the rooms you point us to, all for a price fixed before the work starts.

Much of Edinburgh sits up a shared stone stair with no lift, and the centre is almost entirely controlled parking, so we plan the access and the loading spot before the day. Whether you are leaving a one-bed in Gorgie or a detached house out by Colinton, the crew arrives knowing the floor, the stair and where the van will go.

How the move runs on the day

A house move with us takes in the loading, the drive and the unloading, with the furniture protected the whole way. We shrink-wrap sofas and mattresses, blanket the wood and strap the load so nothing shifts on the roads across town. Boxes you have packed we simply load; the heavier and more awkward pieces we handle ourselves. At the far end everything goes into the room you want it in, not left in a heap by the door.

If you would rather not pack at all, tell us when you book and we will bring materials and give you a hand with it.

Getting furniture down a tenement stair

Many Edinburgh homes are reached by a common stone stair shared with the neighbours, and that stair is usually the part people worry about. Our crew is used to walking wardrobes down a spiral stairwell and turning a bed round a half-landing without marking the walls. Where a piece will not make a tight turn, we take it apart rather than force it.

Give us the floor and whether there is a lift when you ask for a price, and we bring the right number of hands so the day runs without a surprise halfway up.

Sorting the parking before we arrive

Most central streets sit inside a controlled zone, where a removal van left in the wrong place collects a ticket quickly. We tell you what your road is likely to need and how close we can get the van, so you can arrange a bay suspension if the street calls for one.

Where no bay is possible, we load from the nearest legal spot and keep the carry as short as we safely can.

Booking a date and getting a price

The price rests on the size of the move, the access at each end and the distance between the two addresses, and we quote one figure rather than an hourly rate that climbs while you watch the clock. Asking costs nothing and there is no obligation once you have the number.

Weekends and the end of the month fill first, so it is worth fixing a date early. Tell us what is moving and we will confirm what we have free.

Frequently asked questions

Do you move across all of Edinburgh?+

Yes. We work throughout the city and the areas around it, from Leith and Portobello to Corstorphine and Gorgie, as well as moves leaving Edinburgh for the rest of the country.

Can you pack for me?+

We can. Pack yourself to keep the cost down, or ask us to bring materials and handle it. Either way the furniture is wrapped and protected as standard.

When should I book?+

As early as you can for weekends and month-end dates, which go first. Midweek we can often help at short notice.

Can you move us out of a tenement flat?+

That is most of what we do here. Shared stairs, a turn at every landing and no lift is the normal shape of the job, so tell us the floor and we bring the hands to match.

Do we need to suspend a parking bay?+

In the controlled zones, often yes, and it is worth arranging once you have a date. If a suspension is not possible we tell you how close the van can honestly get.

Is August harder to book?+

Yes. The Festival fills the city, the roads change and the parking gets worse, so an August move wants booking further ahead than any other month.
