Planning your move in Portobello
Portobello furniture pickups with the stair route checked
For a Portobello furniture purchase, ask the seller for the floor and the route through any shared stair. Obtain dimensions and establish whether the piece separates. A compact cabinet can still require considerable carrying if it is solid or has awkward turns on the way out.
Check the delivery entrance before confirming collection. Choose loading help for both properties and arrange a contact who can release the exact items agreed. Include loose shelves, feet and cushions in the inventory, with suitable protection ready before arrival.
Settle the proposed roadside position
Use Edinburgh's parking suspension and dispensation information where relevant to the street. Private grounds need the owner's instructions. Describe the carry from the vehicle to the entrance and confirm access for the collection window.
More local guidance: Edinburgh area guide.
Property access
Check stairs, lifts, shared entrances and space for bulky items.
Give the number of stair flights and any intermediate steps. Large mirrors and glass panels need separate dimensions and protection rather than a general furniture label.
Timing and routes
Check route restrictions and allow for loading and travel time.
Check whether your collection, delivery or journey enters an emissions-controlled zone. The rules depend on the city, exact route and vehicle; confirm the current local requirements before booking.
Portobello Frequently Asked Questions
Plan the load, access and help needed at both addresses before booking.
Check availability for your collection and delivery postcodes, date, van size and loading requirements. Short-notice bookings depend on the actual job and available providers. An area availability guide is not a reserved slot; discuss any fixed collection or building-access window before booking.
Your quote reflects the addresses, date, van size, loading help and booked time. Include stairs, lift access, carrying distances and any extra stops at the start. A short journey can still require time for loading and unloading. Read what is included and possible additional charges before confirming.
Check the loading option selected during booking. With customer loading and unloading, you provide the people needed at both ends and the driver’s loading help is not included. If you book helpers, choose enough help for the heaviest items, stairs and carrying route. Ask our team if you are unsure about an awkward item.
List the items, measure bulky furniture and confirm access at both addresses. Pack belongings, secure loose parts and arrange the loading location. Packing is your responsibility unless otherwise agreed in writing; do not assume dismantling or reassembly is included. For a purchase collection, confirm the seller will be available and the item ready to load.
Match the service to the complete load. See single-item transport for one bulky purchase or small moves for boxes and a few pieces of furniture. For a full flat inventory, review flat removals and plan the vehicle and help around all your belongings.
