Flat removals across Edinburgh and beyond
Edinburgh Small Removals covers complete smaller loads from studios, one-bedroom flats, rented rooms and selected parts of larger homes. Include the furniture and appliances as well as every box, bag and everyday item going to the new address.
The itemised quote lets you describe the move in one place. Porta then shows the fixed price online and, after booking, connects you with a vetted independent driver for the journey entered.
See the range of suitable loads and how the itemised quote works on our national Small Removals service page.
One booking for the smaller move
Smaller Edinburgh moves covered in one booking
The service covers complete smaller loads changing address, from one room through to the contents of a compact flat.
Moving from one room in a shared home
Include everything that is yours across the bedroom and communal rooms, rather than treating the move as a few separate collections.
A lighter load leaving a larger home
Book all of the household items changing address when the move does not involve the complete contents of the property.

Shared closes and upper-floor flats
Record the floor, working lift, stair layout and entrance arrangements. Measure large pieces if the route includes a narrow landing, turn or doorway.
Controlled streets and loading space
Central streets may need a parking dispensation or bay suspension. Check both addresses early and include any distance from the vehicle to the door.
The City of Edinburgh Council lists home removals as an eligible reason for a parking dispensation and explains the notice needed for suspending bays. Read its current dispensation and suspension guidance.
Customer feedback
Real Google reviews from our valued customers
Very happy with the Porta experience. I needed a heavy boiler couriering which required a pallet truck and lift due to weight. Porta sorted this and also delivered same day. Items were transported safely. Would recommend off the back of this experience. Thanks.
Amazingly simple user experience through the site. And fantastic service from the delivery guys. Well communicated. Love the money saving options with flexibility and overall seems incredibly affordable.
I had a very smooth experience with this company. The driver was willing to work with my schedule and very patient with me. They were also very pleasant, and the item was delivered right on time. I will use them again whenever the need arises.
