House clearance Edinburgh: city removals firm celebrates 15 years in business

Castle Removals

A firm focus on sustainability - including working with local charity shops - has helped this local firm to flourish.

Castle Removals has grown from just two staff with a van in 2011 to a fleet of 12 vehicles with 20 staff in 2026.

Reflecting on 15 years in operation, Operations manager Peter said:

“It has been a lot of hard work over the years and there have been many challenges along the way, but we’re really proud of where we are now.

“We are really grateful to all our customers and to the staff, particularly the core group who’ve been with us since the early days. We are looking forward to what the future holds!”

A removals service you can trust

If you’re moving house, whether it’s in the Edinburgh area or anywhere around the UK, Castle Removals can provide a safe and trustworthy service.

The castle team specialise in moving homes and businesses, plus they can help with all the packing and dismantling that you need.

“We know how stressful moving house can be, so we are always happy to help take that pressure off our customers," says Peter ,In fact, Castle Removals are rated 5/5 by over 150 reviewers on their website and 4.9/5 by over 400 reviewers on Google.

"These positive reviews are testament to the hard work that my team put in to provide a really professional service but with a personal touch," he adds.

Need something shifting within Edinburgh? They also offer a small removals service to move sofas, white goods or other bulky items for those who need a helping hand.

Pianos are another speciality for the castle team, who well know how tough a heavy piano can be to shift. They offer a specialist service, particularly when tight staircases have to be navigated, and come with all the kit, including a piano trolley, piano shoes and protective covers.

Clearing away the clutter

Whether you need a full or partial clearance of a house, flat, garage, loft or garden, Castle Removals can tackle it. They offer a clearance service throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians, including Midlothian, East Lothian, and West Lothian. For places that are the worse for wear, they even offer a dedicated cleaning service too.

And, as Peter stresses, they make every effort to be as environmentally friendly as possible, and they are fully licensed by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA). "We recycle as much as we can to minimise landfill, and we work with local charity shops so everything that can be re-used goes to charity."

This can be particularly poignant when the team are doing house clearances after a bereavement. "When we do a bereavement house clearance, people want to know that their loved one's belongings are being put to good use," he adds. "We will always offer a compassionate and respectful service to families in those circumstances, as our testimonials show."

Bulky furniture taking up space in your home? No problem… "We see more people clearing out their older pieces of furniture from houses in and around Edinburgh," says Peter ,Some charities are being more selective with what they will accept, which means their furniture disposal service has been seeing an increase in demand.

"Often it is people who want to sell their homes and make them look more spacious," he explains. "Or they might just be updating their furniture. We will always work with charities in the area to see what is needed first to minimise waste."

And for those in need of storage, Castle Removals offer short- medium- or long-term storage in the city.For your peace of mind, there is round-the-clock security, CCTV, fire and intruder alarms and full insurance for all your items.
