Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
What We Bring to Stoneygate
For Leicester residents, stoneygate sits in the LE2 postcode, covering streets like Knighton Road, Francis Street, and Grange Lane.
The area has a high concentration of period properties: detached and semi-detached Victorian houses with bay windows, high ceilings, and original features that need careful handling on moving day.
Giant Van provides full house removals across Stoneygate and the wider LE2 area.
Our teams work in pairs or groups of three depending on the size of the property.
We bring trolleys, furniture blankets, mattress covers, and box wrapping as standard on every job.
House removals in Stoneygate start from £250 for a one-bedroom property.
A typical three-bedroom Victorian house on roads like Elmfield Avenue or Holmfield Road runs between £450 and £650 depending on the volume of furniture and number of floors.
We give you a fixed price upfront.
No hidden fuel charges, no staircase add-ons, no surprises.
Booking takes under two minutes through the Giant Van app.
You describe the property, pick a date, and confirm.
We send a GPS-tracked van to your door at the agreed time.
All moves are fully insured from the moment our team arrives.

Stoneygate Street Smarts: Access and Routes
Access in Stoneygate requires planning.
Most of the residential streets near the Victoria Park boundary are narrow with on-street parking on both sides. Roads like Westbourne Road and Ratcliffe Road have limited turning space for larger vehicles, so we typically use our 3.5-tonne Luton vans rather than larger curtainsider lorries for properties in the heart of Stoneygate.
Leicester City Council operates a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) across much of LE2.
If you live on a permit-only street, you need to arrange a temporary suspension before moving day. Leicester City Council charges a fee for parking bay suspensions and requires at least five working days' notice. We recommend applying as soon as your move date is confirmed.
Our team can advise on this when you book.
The A6 London Road runs along the western edge of Stoneygate and is a busy arterial route.
Early morning loading (before 8am) avoids the worst of the London Road traffic and reduces the time spent manoeuvring out of side streets. For properties directly on London Road, loading bays are available but fill quickly from 8am onwards.
Larger properties on the Stoneygate Road itself or on Springfield Road tend to have off-street driveways, which makes access easier.
Victorian terraces on shorter cross-streets like Hartington Road and Holbrook Road typically need a van parked on the street with one person managing traffic flow while the team loads.
Our crews are experienced with this setup and carry traffic cones as standard.

Work Out Your Moving CostPrep Pointers for Stoneygate Removals
Here are five practical tips based on moves we have completed across the LE2 area.
Streets in the Stoneygate CPZ require at least five working days' notice to Leicester City Council. If your street is permit-only and you skip this step, the van may not be able to park close to your front door, which slows down the entire job and increases costs.
Victorian houses in Stoneygate often have narrow hallways and tight staircase bends. A large sofa that fitted when you moved in may not come out the same way. Measure widths and heights against your staircase and doorframes.
Beds on upper floors of three-storey properties on roads like Knighton Road take time to dismantle and carry down. Doing this the evening before saves an hour on moving day and keeps costs down.
Boxes heavier than 20kg slow the team down and increase the risk of items being dropped. Pack books and dense items in smaller boxes, and lighter items in larger ones.
If you are moving within Stoneygate or leaving the area entirely, the delivery address matters as much as the collection address. Let us know about any restrictions at both ends when you book.

When Is the Best Time to Move?
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
Stoneygate: Morning, Afternoon, or Weekend
Here is what to know before you choose a date.
Most property completions happen on Fridays, which means demand peaks every week. If you have flexibility, moving on a Tuesday or Wednesday typically saves you 10 to 15 per cent compared to a Friday slot and gives you more choice of time.
Families moving near Victoria Park Road or between the primary school zones in LE2 tend to cluster moves around July and August. Book at least three to four weeks ahead if you are moving during school holidays.
The streets around Grange Lane and Ratcliffe Road are significantly quieter before 8am. An 8am start means loading is usually complete before 10am and the van is moving before traffic builds on London Road.
If you are renting in LE2 and your tenancy ends on the 31st, book as early as possible. Giant Van holds slots up to eight weeks in advance.
Call or use the app to check live availability for your preferred date.
