Working with Wilsons: Our Removal Process

Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed at the thought of moving house? 

Whether it’s the endless packing, the fear of something going missing, or the logistics of it all, moving can feel like a monumental task. But what if it didn’t have to be this way? 

At Wilsons of Edinburgh, we’re here to turn what feels like chaos into calm, guiding you through every step of your move with care and expertise.

As a family-run removals business based in Edinburgh, we take pride in making moving stress-free and even enjoyable for our neighbours in the Lothians and beyond.  

So, how do we do it? Take a closer look at our process that’s earned us the trust of countless local families and businesses by reading more below!

Starting the Conversation 

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of moving? For many, it’s stress. That’s why we start with a simple, no-pressure conversation.  

When you reach out to us, we’ll arrange a time to visit your home and discuss your unique needs. This isn’t just about getting a quote – it’s about getting to know you and your move.

During our visit, we’ll chat about:

• The size of your home and the volume of items to be moved.
• Any special items that need extra care (think pianos, antiques, or artwork).
• Access points, parking, and anything else that could affect the logistics.
• Your timeline and any preferences for moving day.

This personalised approach allows us to create a detailed, transparent quote tailored just for you. And yes, our “from” pricing and weekend specials mean you can rest assured you’re getting great value. 

Planning Your Move

Planning is the backbone of a successful move. Once you’ve decided to work with us, our team gets to work crafting a personalised plan that covers every detail of your move.

During the planning stage, we undertake the following steps, keeping you informed throughout the process:

• Initial Assessment: We’ll evaluate the specific needs of your move, from the number of rooms to the volume of items, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
• Tailored Timelines: We’ll work with you to establish a clear schedule, ensuring every task is completed on time without feeling rushed.
• Packing Solutions: If you’re packing yourself, we provide premium-quality materials and expert tips. If you’d prefer to leave it to us, we’ll handle everything with precision and care.
• Problem Solving: Have a tricky item like a grand piano or oversized wardrobe? We plan for safe and efficient handling of even the most challenging pieces.

We believe that communication is key. Throughout this stage, our team remains available to answer your questions, adapt to any changes, and ensure you feel fully prepared for the big day.  

Our goal is to leave no stone unturned, so you can focus on the excitement of your move rather than the logistics. 

Packing Made Simple

Let’s be honest – packing isn’t anyone’s favourite part of moving. But with Wilsons, it doesn’t have to be a headache. Our professional movers take the hassle out of packing, treating your belongings with the same care we’d give our own.

We use top-notch packing materials and meticulous techniques to ensure your items are protected. Fragile family heirlooms? Heavy furniture? Awkwardly shaped electronics? We’ve got it all covered. And because we label everything clearly, unpacking becomes a breeze!

For those who prefer to pack themselves, we’re happy to supply all the packing materials you need and share tips to make the process easier!

The Big Move: Transport and Delivery

When moving day arrives, you can breathe easy knowing your belongings are in safe hands. Our modern, reliable vehicles and experienced drivers make transport smooth and efficient. Whether you’re moving within Edinburgh or heading further afield, we’ll ensure everything arrives safely and on time.

Here’s what makes our removal service stand out:

• Local Expertise: We know Edinburgh like the back of our hand, navigating narrow streets and busy areas with ease.
• Secure Transport: Every item is secured in our vehicles to prevent damage during transit.
• Nationwide Reach: Planning a move beyond Edinburgh? No problem – we handle moves across Scotland, England, and Wales.
• Friendly & Accommodating: We're not the type of movers that turn up to your door, throw your items in a van and leave. We work in a friendly and efficient manner that gives you peace of mind that your items are being treated with the respect they deserve.

Settling Into Your New Home

Arriving at your new home should feel exciting, not exhausting. That’s why our team goes above and beyond during the unloading process. We don’t just drop boxes at the door – we place items where you want them, reassemble furniture, and even remove packing materials when we’re done.

Imagine walking into your new home and seeing your belongings perfectly in place, ready for you to start this new chapter. That’s the Wilsons difference.
