Our Process
The Dimond Movers Moving Process
Step 1
Tell Us the Origin, Destination and Dates
Postcodes, property size, completion / move dates and any awkward access (lift, stairs, narrow access, parking restrictions). WhatsApp or email a few photos of the larger items and we'll quote — usually within a few hours.
Step 2
Free Fixed Quote — Same-Day or Split-Day
We quote both same-day and split-day options where relevant, so you choose. No deposit needed to confirm a date. Fixed in writing — no hidden extras.
Step 3
Pre-Pack the Day Before (Optional)
On long-distance routes we often pre-pack the day before to start the drive earlier. Half-pack / full-pack quoted as a separate line item — your choice.
Step 4
Load, Drive, Deliver
Two or three-person crew, Luton or 7.5t for 2-3 bed, 18t for 4-5 bed. Same-day or overnight split based on distance and property size. Full Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance throughout.
The Reading → Edinburgh route at a glance
Distance: 380 miles. Typical drive: 7h – 8h. Motorways: M40 → M6 → A74(M) → M74 → M8 → A720. Recommended crew/vehicle: 7.5t Luton or 18t for 4-bed; 3-person crew; mandatory overnight.
Indicative pricing: £1,750 – £3,100 for a 3-bed (2-day delivery).
Mandatory two-day move with overnight near the Scottish border.
The route: M4 → M40 → M6 → M74 → M8
M4 east, M40 north from J1A, M42, M6 north to Carlisle, A74(M) and M74 north, M8 east into Edinburgh via Bathgate and the M9. 380 miles total.
Two-day strict — load Reading day 1, overnight near Lockerbie / Carlisle, complete to Edinburgh on day 2.
Edinburgh destinations
New Town (EH2/EH3) and Stockbridge (EH3) for upscale family flats, Marchmont and Bruntsfield (EH9/EH10) for university families, Morningside (EH10) for established residential, Leith (EH6) for the regenerated waterfront.
Edinburgh LEZ and tenement access
Edinburgh's central LEZ launched 2024 — our fleet is compliant. Tenement deliveries (3-5 floors, no lift) are standard in Marchmont, Bruntsfield and Stockbridge — we size the crew (3-person) to the stairs.
Packing options for a long-distance Edinburgh move
Full pack: we bring all materials and pack everything room by room the day before the drive. Most reliable for breakables on a long-distance route.
Half pack: we pack the kitchen, breakables and artwork; you pack the soft items (clothes, bedding, books). Mid-cost option.
Self-pack: you pack everything; we load, drive, deliver and unload. Lowest cost — works well if you have time and a steady pack-down over 1-2 weeks.
Storage between Reading sale and Edinburgh completion
Long-distance moves frequently catch a chain delay — the Reading sale completes but the Edinburgh purchase slips by a day or a week. Storage at our Crowmarsh Gifford depot bridges the gap from £25/week per crate, or as a flat storage-and-removals quote combining collection, storage and final delivery into one fixed price.
Most Reading-to-Edinburgh customers add storage as a "just in case" line in the quote — released if not needed.
