Navigating Syston Roads on Moving Day
In Leicester, syston has a mix of road types that affects how we plan your removal.
The High Street runs through the centre of the village and has limited on-street parking during peak hours. We always arrive early on moves from High Street properties to secure the loading space before traffic builds from 8am.
Melton Road carries heavy through traffic as it connects Syston to Thurmaston and beyond.
Properties on this stretch often have no front forecourt, so we use a tail-lift van where possible to reduce time spent on the road.
Barkby Road and Barkby Lane are quieter but have tighter bends near the junction with Queniborough Road, requiring a medium-wheelbase van rather than our longest vehicles.
The Wreake Drive estate, built mainly in the 1980s, has wider roads and off-road parking on most plots.
These moves tend to be quicker to load and unload. Older terraces near Cossington Road and Brook Street are narrower, and we account for this when allocating vehicles.
Syston rail station on Syston Road provides a useful landmark for time planning.
We factor in the level crossing on East Street, which can cause short delays during peak school run times between 8:15am and 9:00am. Booking your move to start at 8am means we load before the crossing becomes an issue.
Our GPS-tracked vans let you follow the route live on the Giant Van app throughout the day.

When Is the Best Time to Move?
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
Scheduling Tips for Syston Removals
Here is what we see from the jobs we run in LE7 throughout the year.
Demand is highest on Fridays, as most property completions happen on that day. If you book a Friday at month-end, do so at least two weeks ahead.
They also benefit from lighter traffic on the A607 into Leicester. If your completion date is flexible, ask your solicitor whether a Thursday is possible.
Crews are available on shorter notice and you may find promotional pricing applies. February and early March are also quieter than summer.
Book four to six weeks ahead if your move falls between April and June.
Families move before the new school term, and Syston is no exception. Availability on Wreake Drive and the family estates fills up fast. Book eight weeks ahead for August moves.
App bookings for urgent jobs should be made before noon to give us time to allocate the right crew and van for your Syston property.
