Man and Van North Edinburgh
North Edinburgh is covered by TowManVan from £35 an hour, from the Georgian stairs of the New Town and Stockbridge's colonies through Leith's waterfront tenements, Granton and Trinity, out along the M9 to Linlithgow and Bo'ness. A single item or a colony house move suits a small van; a full flat or villa needs a medium or Luton instead. Most jobs see an operator inside 22 minutes, with routes built around Ferry Road and the Western General's shift changes. The service runs day and night, every day, at a single fixed rate.
North Edinburgh pricing through TowManVan starts at £35 an hour, confirmed in the app before an operator is dispatched, with a two hour minimum on every job. The New Town, Stockbridge, Leith, Granton, Trinity, Linlithgow and Bo'ness all fall within a 22 minute target window. Track the operator from booking to arrival, and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay once the job wraps up. No membership, no call-out fee.
Covering all North Edinburgh postcodes. No postcode surcharge. No membership required.
Services in North Edinburgh
Fixed upfront prices. No membership fees. Live operator tracking across every postcode in North Edinburgh.
Small Van
Handles a Stockbridge colony house, a Leith Walk tenement room, or a straightforward single-item collection. Two hour minimum, and the first 15 miles cost nothing extra.
Medium Van
North Edinburgh's one and two bedroom moves, from a Leith tenement to a new Granton apartment, mostly fit in one trip. Driver included, stairs never billed separately.
Luton Van with Tail Lift
Trinity and Inverleith's villa streets, along with anything heading up the M9 toward Linlithgow and Bo'ness, call for this size. A tail lift comes fitted as standard.
Extra Helper
Useful on a New Town communal stair or a Leith conversion with no lift installed. Two people generally clear the job faster than one working it alone.
Man and Van in North Edinburgh - What You Need to Know
New Town's Georgian communal stairs
EH2's New Town townhouses sit above a shared stone stair that can run twelve to sixteen steps up to the main door, with high ceilings that suit tall wardrobes and bookshelves but make the stairwell itself the bottleneck. Most streets carry a residents' permit scheme with short loading bays, so a bay suspension booked with the council a few working days ahead is worth arranging before a Luton is due to arrive.
Stockbridge's colonies
The Stockbridge colonies, rows of single-storey terraced cottages built for working families in the 1860s, have narrow front paths and low doorways that rule out a Luton's loading ramp on most rows. A small van gets closer to the actual front door than a bigger vehicle ever could. The tenements around Raeburn Place nearby are a different job entirely, with a standard close and stair.
Granton and Trinity's waterfront regeneration
Granton's old gasworks and harbour land is being rebuilt into a new neighbourhood, and the completed apartment blocks have lifts, wide corridors and dedicated loading bays, some of the easiest access in North Edinburgh for a crew. Trinity next door is older and more settled, Victorian villas and Edwardian semis with front gardens, and its family houses draw people moving up from flats in Stockbridge and the New Town.
Linlithgow and Bo'ness along the M9
EH49 Linlithgow and EH51 Bo'ness sit twenty five to thirty five minutes out along the M9, historic towns with a High Street of period buildings alongside Victorian villas and post-war estates. Linlithgow draws Edinburgh professionals after a bigger house with the train still on the doorstep, since the station sits on the Edinburgh to Glasgow line. Both towns are reached via the M9, at Junction 3 for Linlithgow and Junction 5 for Bo'ness.
Leith Shore and the old dock warehouses
The converted warehouses around Leith Shore and the Ocean Terminal end of the waterfront hold loft-style flats that often have goods lifts left over from their industrial days, useful for a heavy item that would otherwise need carrying up a stone stair. Older tenements further up toward Leith Walk are the standard Edinburgh close and stair, so confirm which kind of building you are in when you book.
Inverleith's villas by the Botanic Garden
EH4 Inverleith is lined with substantial Victorian and Edwardian villas backing onto the Royal Botanic Garden, many with their own driveway or a wide street frontage that makes a Luton straightforward to load. Comely Bank nearby mixes similar villas with smaller terraced streets, and the roads bordering the garden itself can be busy with visitor traffic on a weekend, worth avoiding for an afternoon slot.
Western General Hospital and Crewe Toll
The Western General Hospital off Crewe Toll sends a wave of staff traffic onto Telford Road and Ferry Road at shift changeover, and a move timed either side of that window through the surrounding streets moves noticeably faster than one caught in the middle of it. The hospital roundabout is also the main junction for traffic heading between Inverleith and Granton.
Ferry Road as the connecting spine
Ferry Road runs the length of North Edinburgh from Inverleith out to Granton and the coast, and it is the road most crews use to move between jobs across the postcodes rather than cutting through the New Town's one-way system. Traffic backs up near the Crewe Toll and Telford Road junctions at peak times, so a job scheduled either side of rush hour clears the road faster.
Leith Walk's tram works and Newhaven terminus
Leith Walk has carried tram construction traffic for years as the line extended down to its Newhaven terminus, and sections of the road still narrow to one lane at points, which slows a van's approach into Leith from the city centre. Side streets off the Walk remain the more reliable route for a crew loading in the tenements just behind the main road.
