Old Town Edinburgh: man and van for tricky streets
Flats in the Old Town sit up winding stairs and down narrow closes, so our man and van service is about planning as much as lifting. Customers book flat moves, furniture for a new tenancy or a single item from a shop. Choose a van and a time, then see the price before you confirm.
EH1 covers the Royal Mile, Grassmarket and Cowgate, plus Waverley station and the streets around the Castle. Cobbles, steep wynds and limited vehicle access mean you should tell us your address and parking options early. Our insured movers protect walls and stairwells, and we also offer furniture delivery and clearances.

What our Edinburgh customers say
The two men that did my move were very nice and helpful
I had to book a move last minute and the phone agent made it very easy for me. The movers, Stephen and his partner, were also super helpful. Kept to time and did my move within 2 hours. I highly recommend them in Edinburgh.

What our Old Town EH1 crews plan for
What to expect when moving in the Old Town, based on our 5 jobs in EH1.
Winding stone stairs
31 in 100 of our Edinburgh jobs have stairs at one end or both. Old Town flats are often reached up narrow, winding stone stairs, so measure large items and tell us about any tight turns.
Closes and limited access
Many Old Town homes sit down closes too narrow for a van, and parts of the Royal Mile have access restrictions. We park as near as we legally can, so tell us how far it is from the street to your door.
Inside the Low Emission Zone
The Old Town is inside the Edinburgh Low Emission Zone, which has been enforced since June 2024. We plan our vans and routes with the zone in mind, so you do not need to arrange anything.
Avoid festival month
Across Edinburgh, Saturday is our busiest day (22% of jobs) and Thursday the quietest (6%). The Old Town is packed during the August festival, so if you can, move outside that month.
Cobbles and steep hills
Victoria Street, the Cowgate and the streets off the Royal Mile are steep and often cobbled. Loading can take longer here, so we allow extra time when we plan an Old Town move.
