Imagine that you’re in a cluttered flat surrounded by boxes, wondering how the hell you’re going to get everything from your old place. In comes the man driving a van, the unsung moving hero in Edinburgh. No matter whether you’re moving just a couple of pieces of furniture, or the entirety your life, these guys have your back. Click here.

It’s a fact that moving can be a pain. The equivalent of trying to fit a Mini Cooper with an elephant. With the correct help, it does not have to feel as if you are herding cats. These guys will show you every corner and cranny of Edinburgh. From the Old Town streets to the more modern New Town.

You might think that calling up a van-driver and saying, “Hey! I need some assistance” is all it takes. This can be done. Find someone who knows his stuff. What’s the catch?

Jamie is a good example. He’s driven his trusty vehicle around Edinburgh for more than 10 years. He helped a woman move a collection of antiques teapots with no damage! Jamie knows what to do with things so they don’t rattle around in your pocket like loose change.

Please let me reassure you if your concern is about cost. The services offered are generally affordable. The services are offered in different packages, depending upon what you want – be it just transportation or a full-on packing service. We all know that peace of mind can be worth every penny, especially when you have bubble wrap covering your entire home.

What about bubble wrap? Have you wrapped any fragile items before? This is like trying swaddle the baby kangaroo. Professionals use tricks that make the process look effortless. They have a variety of materials they can use to keep your things safe during transit.

It is important to consider the timing. You may find that Princes Street is more busy at the end of the month or on weekends. You can avoid stress and anxiety by planning ahead.

What about those odd jobs that come up? You might have just purchased a sofa from Gumtree. Do you need to pick it up asap? Or maybe you have a lot of bulky things that don’t fit your car. You don’t need a man and a van for only big moves.

I remember when Dave, my friend needed some help moving the band gear to another part of town. He called a company and, within an hr, all his gear was loaded and ready for the gig – amps guitars drums – everything!

Also, communication is important. It’s important to communicate with your client about what they need moving, so that neither party is surprised. Any special instructions you’d like to give? Do not hesitate to share!

The word of mouth is invaluable when it comes to determining the reliability of a product. Do some research or read reviews online before choosing. Little homework will go a long way to preventing any hiccups during the moving process.

Let’s not forget safety measures, especially now that health precautions are more important than ever. (Thanks COVID!) All reputable services will ensure that their staff and clients remain safe at all times. They’ll wear masks to protect them from germs, while also having hand sanitizers.

So next time you’re planning that dreaded move or simply need something transported across town – remember there’s always someone ready & willing behind-the-wheel eager-to-help making-your-life-easier!
