Give the full stair and doorway route
For a flat reached through a shared stair, describe the entire carry from the street to your front door. Include the floor, landings, tight turns and whether a lift can take the largest item. Measure a bulky sofa or wardrobe against the narrowest doorway before the move. If disassembly or specialist handling is needed, include it in the request so the agreed plan covers the work.
Edinburgh loading permissions
Edinburgh Council distinguishes parking dispensations from bay suspensions and lists furniture and home removals among possible dispensation uses. Check its current guidance for your proposed loading point and arrange any permission before the move. Tell us the location, permitted window and who is arranging it. Do not assume permission to load also reserves an empty space; identify the lawful stop and the walk from it to the building.
Collection, keys and building access
Keep the collection window separate from the time you expect to receive keys. If a building has a managed lift or an agreed moving slot, share that restriction when requesting the quote. Pack essential documents and items you need during the handover separately. Flag anything that must be delivered first, so the loading order and arrival plan can be discussed before the vehicle is packed.
Journeys beyond Edinburgh
Instant prices cover mainland Scotland, England and Wales. Enter both addresses and the full list, and the quote shows one fixed price for the whole journey before you book. Moves to or from the Scottish islands or Northern Ireland get a fixed quote from our team instead. A verified mover then accepts the job; if no mover accepts in time, you pay nothing.
From your quote to an accepted move
Movesmith connects your booking with a verified moving operator. We agree the inventory, route and access that make up your fixed price. Loading, driving and unloading are part of the agreed move; packing, dismantling and specialist work must be requested and priced explicitly.
A booking receipt and an assigned operator are separate. A verified mover accepts the job; if none accepts in time, you pay nothing. Check your confirmation before treating the moving arrangements as settled.
