Leicester Packing Services: From Start to Finish
With Office Removals Evington Leicester, Leicester's commercial district spans postcodes LE1 through LE4, covering everything from small accountancy firms near the Clock Tower to large distribution centres off the A46 outer ring. Giant Van provides professional packing services in Leicester that fit every type of commercial move.
We pack offices, retail units, warehouses, and medical practices. Our team arrives with double-wall cardboard boxes, anti-static foam rolls, bubble wrap, and colour-coded labels. Every item gets logged before it leaves your premises. Nothing is loaded onto a van without written confirmation from your site manager.
Commercial packing in Leicester differs from domestic jobs in one key way: downtime costs money. A one- or two-person crew packing crew can clear a 2,000 sq ft open-plan office on Halford Street in roughly four hours. We give you a written time estimate before we start.
If we run over, we absorb the extra labour cost on jobs booked at a fixed price.
Our packing service includes:
Double-wall boxes in five sizes (small files through to A0 artwork)
Wardrobe boxes for hanging garments and uniforms
Custom crating for fragile display equipment
Tamper-evident tape and numbered seal logs
Digital inventory sent to you by email before the van departs
All packing materials are included in your quoted price. No hidden charges for tape or box quantities. Packing-only jobs start from £150 for a single room. Full office packing with removal starts from £300. Call for a same-day quote specific to your Leicester premises.
Access Solutions for Packing Services in Leicester
Need Hinckley Office Removals Leicester?
Leicester city centre has a controlled traffic zone covering most of LE1. Vehicle permits are required on Granby Street, Gallowtree Gate, and the pedestrianised sections of Humberstone Gate between 10:00 and 16:00 Monday to Saturday. Giant Van handles all permit applications for city-centre jobs.
We apply at least 48 hours in advance through Leicester City Council's commercial vehicle access scheme.
Parking suspensions near the Highcross shopping complex on Vaughan Way require five working days' notice from the council.
We factor this into your booking timeline automatically. Our ops team contacts the council on your behalf at no extra charge.
East Leicester presents different challenges.
Belgrave Road's narrow junctions and the terraced industrial units off Abbey Lane require smaller 3.5-tonne vans rather than full-size 7.5-tonne vehicles. We dispatch the correct vehicle size based on your postcode and building type. This avoids access refusals on the day.
South Leicester around Oadby and Wigston (LE2, LE18) is generally straightforward.
Wide residential roads and modern business parks off Stoughton Road give good vehicle access. Jobs here rarely need permits.
Key access facts for Leicester commercial moves:
LE1 city centre: permit required for loading bays, applied 48 hours ahead
Highcross area (LE1 5XB): five-day parking suspension notice required
Belgrave Road corridor (LE4): 3.5-tonne vans only due to junction widths
Abbey Park industrial estate: unrestricted access, loading bays available
Fosse Park retail area (LE19): large loading bays, no permit needed
Every Giant Van driver carries a copy of the Leicester City Council loading zone map.
We have completed over 200 commercial moves in the LE postcode area, so access problems rarely catch us off guard. If your building has specific restrictions, tell us when you book and we will confirm the right approach before the crew arrives.
Commercial Packing Prices in Leicester

Packing plus commercial removal: from £300 for offices up to 1,500 sq ft. Includes packing materials, two-person crew, one 3.5-tonne van, and delivery within Leicester city limits.
Large office packing and removal (1,500 to 5,000 sq ft): from £600. A one- or two-person crew, 7.5-tonne vehicle, full inventory management.

Work Out Your Moving CostWhat to Arrange for Packing Services in Leicester
Here is what works best for Leicester commercial clients.
Many Leicester office buildings in the LE1 and LE2 areas require advance notice for commercial vehicle access to basement or rear loading bays. The St George's Business Park on St George's Way is one example where the barrier code must be arranged 24 hours ahead.
Use red stickers or masking tape. This is especially important in shared offices and co-working spaces like those on Rutland Street and New Walk, where multiple businesses operate in the same building. It prevents our crew packing items belonging to neighbouring tenants.
Our crew wraps servers, desktop units, and monitors in anti-static foam as standard. However, data loss from transit vibration is always a risk. Back up to cloud storage or an external drive the day before.
Locked cabinets cannot be safely transported without keys. If you have lost a key, arrange a locksmith before moving day. Forced entry on site causes delays that cost you time on a fixed-price job.
Our crew lead needs one person who can make decisions on the day. If your Leicester office has multiple directors or department heads, agree in advance who has final sign-off authority. Conflicting instructions from multiple people slow down every job.
That translates directly into a lower final invoice on hourly-rate jobs.

Leicester Packing Services: Best Days to Book
Here is what our booking data shows for the LE postcode area.
Monday and Friday slots fill quickly, as these are the most popular move days for businesses wanting a clean weekly break.
March, June, September, and December see the highest volume of office moves, driven by lease renewals and financial year-end decisions. Book at least three weeks ahead if your move falls in these months. For same-day or next-day availability during quarter-end periods, call early.
An early start means packing is completed before the mid-morning traffic peak on the inner ring road. Your crew can often load and depart before the 10:00 pedestrian zone restrictions activate on Granby Street and Gallowtree Gate, saving you the cost of a permit on smaller jobs.
If your business can move during these windows, you will find more crew availability and faster response times.
You can see real-time slot availability for your chosen Leicester postcode before you commit. For complex jobs needing a site visit or permit planning, call. Our commercial bookings team operates seven days a week, 07:00 to 20:00.
Commercial Packing Services Leicester
Not all packing services in Leicester are the same. Here is how Giant Van compares to a standard removal firm that offers packing as a bolt-on service.
Giant Van manages all loading bay and traffic regulation orders for LE1 city-centre jobs as standard. Most general removal firms expect you to arrange your own permits, which can take up to five working days through Leicester City Council.
We produce a numbered digital inventory for every job. Standard removal firms typically use handwritten box lists that are not shared with the client until arrival at the destination.
Giant Van offers same-day commercial packing crews in Leicester subject to pre-09:00 booking. Very few independent removal firms operating in the LE postcode area can match this turnaround.
Budget removal firms often carry only the legal minimum, which is approximately £10 per kilogram of goods lost or damaged.
We give you a fixed price for the agreed scope. Hourly-rate-only firms can expose you to unpredictable final invoices, particularly on large commercial moves where packing time is hard to estimate without experience.
The Giant Van app gives you live GPS tracking of your consignment throughout the Leicester move. Standard removal firms rarely offer real-time tracking.
Our crew uses anti-static foam for all electronic equipment as standard. General movers often use standard bubble wrap, which does not protect against electrostatic discharge on sensitive hardware.
Giant Van provides commercial packing services in Leicester across all LE postcodes.
We cover LE1 city centre through to LE19 at Fosse Park.
Our crews are available seven days a week.
Packing starts from £150 for a single room.
Full office packing and removal starts from £300.
Same-day service is available from £80 as a booking supplement, subject to crew availability before 09:00.
You receive a digital inventory before the van departs your Leicester premises.
GPS tracking is active throughout transit.

Packing services in Leicester with Giant Van start from £150 for a single room including all materials. Full office packing with removal starts from £300 for premises up to 1,500 sq ft. Large offices from 1,500 to 5,000 sq ft start from £600. Same-day packing adds £80 to any quote.
Call for a fixed price based on your specific LE postcode and floor size.
Do you cover all Leicester postcodes for commercial packing?

We also cover Loughborough (LE11, LE12) and Hinckley (LE10) at no surcharge for jobs under 15 miles from Leicester city centre. Message us on live chat if your postcode is outside the standard LE range and we will confirm coverage.
Can you arrange loading bay permits for my city-centre Leicester office?
Yes. Giant Van handles all loading bay permit applications for LE1 city-centre addresses as part of your booking. We apply through Leicester City Council at least 48 hours in advance. For locations near the Highcross complex, we allow five working days for the permit. You do not need to contact the council yourself.
This service is included in your quoted price.
Is my office equipment insured during packing and transit?
Yes. High-value items are photographed before packing. You can request a copy of our insurance certificate when you book your Leicester commercial packing job.
Do you offer same-day packing services in Leicester?
Yes, subject to crew availability. Same-day packing in Leicester is available when you message us before 09:00 on the day you need the service. A same-day supplement of £80 is added to your standard packing quote. This is available seven days a week.
Availability is highest on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and lowest during quarter-end months of March, June, September, and December.
Do you pack IT equipment and servers?
We pack all IT equipment except live server racks. Monitors, desktop towers, laptops in cases, printers, and small UPS units are wrapped in anti-static foam and double-boxed as standard. We photograph all IT items before packing. We do not remove servers from active racks as this requires certified IT contractors.
We pack everything around the rack and advise you on the best shutdown and handover process.
How quickly can I get a quote for packing services in Leicester?
You can get an instant quote in five minutes by calling. Give us your LE postcode, the approximate square footage or number of rooms, and your preferred date. No site visit is required for most commercial jobs under 3,000 sq ft.
You can also use the Giant Van app to enter your details and receive an instant fixed price, then book your Leicester slot in under three minutes.
What is the best day to book commercial packing in Leicester?
Tuesday to Thursday slots are the most available and often 10 to 15 per cent cheaper on hourly-rate jobs. Monday and Friday are the most popular days and fill fastest. For city-centre LE1 jobs, a 07:00 start is recommended to complete loading before the 10:00 pedestrian zone restrictions on Granby Street and Gallowtree Gate.
Book at least three weeks ahead during March, June, September, or December when commercial move demand in Leicester peaks.
