Wigston Removals and Deliveries
Wigston is a tight-knit residential town sitting directly south of Leicester city centre.
It spans two distinct areas: Wigston Magna and South Wigston, each with its own street character and removal challenges.
Properties here range from Edwardian terraces on Blaby Road to 1960s semi-detached homes off Newton Lane, and newer builds along Countesthorpe Road near the LE18 3 postcode boundary.
Giant Van has completed hundreds of house removals in Wigston, Leicester and surrounding villages.
Our crews arrive in a fully equipped lorry with trolleys, furniture blankets, straps, and wardrobe boxes.
We wrap every item before it goes on the van.
Nothing is thrown loose into the back.
House removal prices in Wigston start from £250 for a one-bedroom property and range up to £850 for a larger five-bedroom family home with full packing.
The exact price depends on distance, volume, access, and we handle packing services included.
Call for a fixed price before we arrive.
No surprises on moving day.
We are fully insured for goods in transit and public liability.

Same-day bookings are available from £80 when we have capacity.
Book through our app or message us on live chat.
How Wigston Roads Shape Our Plan
Wigston's road layout presents real challenges for removal lorries.
The A5199 (Welford Road) and B582 (Blaby Road) are the main through routes, but many residential streets feeding off them were built for smaller vehicles.
Lanes off Long Street in Wigston Magna, for example, have parked cars on both sides and very little room for a large lorry to pass without careful manoeuvring.
South Wigston around Saffron Road and Canal Street has a higher proportion of terraced housing.
These streets often have no off-street parking and restricted turning circles. Our drivers plan access routes in advance using satellite imagery and local knowledge. We identify loading zones, assess kerb heights for tailgate use, and flag any restrictions before arriving on the day.
The level crossing on Station Road in South Wigston occasionally causes delay.
If your removal involves crossing or waiting near that junction, we factor buffer time into our schedule. We do not charge extra for waiting time caused by level crossing delays.
Wigston also borders the edge of the Leicester Urban Traffic Management zone.
Some drivers unfamiliar with the area attempt to route through Oadby, which adds time unnecessarily. Our teams use the direct A563 corridor where possible to keep journey times short.
Parking suspensions can be requested via Leicestershire County Council for £50 to £100 depending on the permit.
We advise booking these at least two weeks before your move date. We can advise on the process if needed.

Work Out Your Moving CostReduce Stress on Your Wigston Move Day
Here are five tips based on what our crews see most often on jobs in this area.
If you live on Moat Street, Countesthorpe Road, or anywhere in the South Wigston grid of streets near the Saffron Road junction, apply to Leicestershire County Council for a parking suspension at least two weeks ahead. Removal lorries need at least 12 metres of clear kerb space.
Many Wigston properties feed into the A563 ring road for long-distance moves. This road is fast but has a single-lane contraflow section near Lubbesthorpe Way during peak hours. Our drivers know it, but if you are following us in your own car, allow extra time on weekday mornings.
Wigston Magna has many properties with steep stairwells and narrow door frames, especially on older roads like Bull Head Street. Bed frames and large wardrobes often need to be dismantled. We can do this for you, but it adds time and cost if not flagged in advance.
When boxes are stacked in our van, the top label is hidden. Side labels mean our crew can read what goes where without unstacking everything in your new home.
Several Wigston properties we have moved clients into on Blunts Lane and adjacent roads experienced meter access issues on moving day. Confirm your energy supplier has your new address confirmed at least 48 hours ahead.

What Makes Us Wigston's Go-To Movers
Giant Van was built around one principle: give customers a removal service that works exactly as described. Here is what sets us apart for house removals in Wigston, Leicester.
Fixed pricing with no hidden charges. The price you see when you book is the price you pay. Wigston's narrow residential streets sometimes add loading time, but we build that into our quote. We will never hand you a revised invoice at the end of the day.
Same-day availability. Very few removal companies in the Leicester area can take a same-day booking. We can, from £80, when our schedule allows. If you need to move today, call first thing in the morning.
Instant online quotes. No waiting 24 to 48 hours for a quote callback. Our app and website generate a fixed price in seconds. You can book immediately or save the quote and return later.
GPS tracking on every van. You know where your belongings are at all times. If you travel separately to your new home and we hit traffic on the A563, you can see our progress without calling the driver.
Fully insured team. Every crew member is employed and trained by Giant Van. We do not use subcontractors. Your move is handled by people we have vetted, trained, and insured directly.
Transparent cancellation policy. If your move falls through, you can cancel or reschedule up to 48 hours before the job with no charge. We understand that property chains in Leicestershire can collapse at short notice.

When Is the Best Time to Move?
UK moving demand follows seasonal patterns. Off-peak months typically offer lower prices and more crew availability.
Timing Your Wigston Move for Savings
Here is what the data from our Leicester-area bookings tells us.
Solicitors typically complete Friday, which means removal demand peaks between 10am and 2pm on Fridays. If you book a Friday move in Wigston, book at least three weeks ahead. Prices are not higher on Fridays, but availability runs out fast.
Our crews are often available within 24 to 48 hours for mid-week jobs in Wigston and South Leicestershire.
Most tenancy agreements in Wigston end on the final day of the month. The last three days of any month see booking volumes roughly 40% higher than mid-month. If your move coincides with a month end, book four to six weeks ahead.
The summer window from late July to early September is consistently the busiest six weeks of the year for our Leicester crews.
If your move can be scheduled in the first two months of the year, you will have more crew options and can often book within a week.
