What areas around Edinburgh do you cover?

We handle home and office relocations throughout the entire city of Edinburgh, as well as surrounding Lothian regions and nearby towns. Whether you are moving across town or relocating to a nearby county, our team is equipped to help.

How far in advance should I book my move?

We recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed date, typically 2 to 4 weeks in advance. However, we always do our best to accommodate short-notice moves depending on our vehicle and team availability.

Do you provide packing materials and packing advice?

Yes, we share practical packing advice and moving guides on our blog to help you prepare effectively. We can also provide durable boxes, bubble wrap, and tape, or manage full packing for you to ensure everything is secured safely.

How do you handle heavy or fragile furniture?

Our trained crew uses protective blankets, straps, and specialized equipment to transport fragile furniture and heavy items safely. Every item is treated with genuine care from pickup through to placement in your new space.

How are your moving rates calculated?

We believe in transparent pricing with no hidden costs. Our quotes depend on property size, volume of items, travel distance, and any required services such as packing or furniture assembly.

Do you handle office and commercial relocations?

Yes, we offer tailored office relocation solutions designed to minimize business downtime. We manage office furniture, IT equipment, and archives efficiently to get your workplace up and running quickly.

What should I prepare before the moving van arrives?

Ensure walkways are clear, boxes are clearly labeled with their destination room, and essential items or documents are packed separately. If your Edinburgh street requires parking permits, arranging parking in advance ensures a smooth loading process.
