Edinburgh’s Most Precious Relative, The Van Man

Moving office or moving home? This is like trying to juggle flaming torches and ride a unicycle. Even the word stressful doesn’t cover it. The man in a van is the solution to your problem if it’s you in Edinburgh.

Imagine that you are lugging around furniture and boxes heavier than Everest after Christmas. It’s enough to send anyone into fits of hives the thought of driving a big truck through narrow and winding roads. This is where our hero comes in – a man with a small van.

But don’t get fooled. There’s more to this than just some bloke on wheels with a space in the rear. These are experts. They are experts.

Imagine you sipping tea on your couch while someone else does all the heavy-lifting. Sounds dreamy, right? Moving stuff is not all that it involves. As if your items were ancient artifacts, they treat them with the same care.

Dave once moved a collection of vinyl records. (We’re talking vintage first editions). He was worried to death that the records would get damaged. The boys handled every record with care, as though it was spun sugar. A scratch is nowhere to be found!

And there is more. Not only are these services for major moves. Have an old, heavy sofa to be moved? A wardrobe you purchased is too big to fit your hatchback. No task is too small, or too eccentric.

Sarah is another one of my good friends. It was a spur of the moment decision to renovate her home (you are aware that ideas often strike in the early hours). This second hand bookcase was found online by the woman, but there was no easy way for her to take it home. The man who drives the van was our trusted friend! It’s solved faster than “IKEA”!

Here’s the really cool part – you can often get these services for less than you would pay to hire movers, or rent a vehicle yourself. Get expert knowledge without going broke.

The first thing you might ask is: “Where can I find a good one?” Lemon squeezy is easy! Searching online for reviews and options will reveal a wide range of choices.

Did I mention those curving streets? A local guide can help you save time and effort. Additionally, their schedules are usually flexible – ideal for any last-minute or sudden plans.

Next, let’s discuss something everyone is passionate about: customer service. When you dealt with a business, did it ever feel like just another number to them? You won’t find that here. The guys here are very proud of their work, and they treat the customers with respect.

A driver once told me he had helped an older lady to move her entire garden (including plants) when she was downsizing because she could not bear to leave it behind! It’s a great example of dedication.

You can call him at any time to get a top-notch van service, without having to burn a hole in your pockets.

Edinburgh might be known for its festivals and castles but there is nothing better than finding such useful help around the clock to make life a little easier, one trip at a time.
