Properties We Cover in Evington
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Evington Removals and Deliveries
Evington sits roughly two miles south-east of Leicester city centre, sandwiched between the A6 London Road to the west and the LE5 postcode boundary to the north. It is a dense residential area with a tight grid of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, particularly around Evington Road and Mere Road. Streets here are narrow. Cars park on both sides.
A standard long-wheelbase van needs a skilled driver to get close enough to load efficiently.
Giant Van drivers know Evington. They know that Francis Street and Gwendolen Road fill up early on weekday mornings. They know that the junction at Evington Lane and Coleman Road can bottle-neck during school drop-off. That local knowledge saves you time and protects your belongings from unnecessary double-handling.
Every booking includes full goods-in-transit insurance. You get real-time GPS tracking through our app so you can see exactly where the van is. Our instant quote tool gives you a fixed price before anything moves. There are no surprise charges at the end of the job.
That straightforward approach is why customers in Evington keep coming back and recommending us to neighbours on Stoughton Road and the surrounding LE2 streets.
Moving Logistics Across Evington
We cover every type of removal and collection job across Evington and the wider LE5 and LE2 postcode areas.
This includes house moves, flat clearances, single-item collections, office relocations, student moves and furniture deliveries.
Student moves are common in Evington because the area borders the University of Leicester catchment zone.
Affordable terraced houses along Wenlock Way and the streets off Evington Drive attract undergraduates and postgraduates. We handle end-of-tenancy clearances with speed so you are back on the road well before your checkout time.
Office removals are also a regular request in this part of Leicester.
The Evington Valley area, including parts of Stoughton Street South, has a mix of small commercial units and converted business premises. Moving filing cabinets, desks and IT equipment from a first-floor office with no lift requires the right kit.
We bring sack trucks, furniture blankets and strapping as standard.
We also cover collections from the Leicester Retail Park on Aylestone Road, IKEA on Fosse Park Avenue and other out-of-town retail points, bringing deliveries directly to your Evington address.
If your new sofa will not fit in a hatchback, that is exactly the job we are built for.

Work Out Your Moving CostReduce Stress on Your Evington Move Day
Much of the LE5 area falls under Leicester City Council Controlled Parking Zones. If you need to park a van on double-yellows or in a permit zone during a move, you can apply for a temporary dispensation through the council.
The B582 carries through-traffic all day. Loading directly outside a terraced house on Evington Road means blocking a lane temporarily, which requires care and a fast loading approach. Our crews are trained for exactly this. They work quickly and keep disruption to a minimum.
Properties set back from the main road typically have short front paths and sometimes a side access. We always do a quick site check on arrival so the team plans the safest and fastest loading route.
If you have large furniture, tell us in advance. We can assess whether items need to come out through a window or be disassembled. That assessment is free and takes two minutes over the phone.

What Comes Standard in Evington
Pricing in Evington depends on the size of your property, how many stairs are involved and how far you are travelling.
As a rough guide, here is what most customers pay.
A man with a van booked on an hourly basis starts at £54 per hour.
This suits small jobs: a single bed, a couple of boxes, a wardrobe or a desk.
For most hourly jobs in the LE5 area, customers need two to three hours including transit time.
A one-bedroom flat or house move in Evington costs between £250 and £400.
This covers packing of furniture, loading, transit within the Leicester area and unloading at the destination.
If you are moving further afield, say to the Countesthorpe area south of Leicester or out to Oadby, the price increases by £30 to £60 for additional mileage.
A two-bedroom property move comes to between £400 and £650.
Three-bedroom homes in the Evington LE2 postcode area typically fall between £650 and £900, depending on floor level and whether packing materials are required.
All prices are fixed quotes, not estimates.
You will not pay more on the day unless you add services after booking.

How to Book Your Evington Move
- 01
Evington sits close to some of Leicester's key commercial corridors.
Businesses relocating from offices near Evington to sites in Countesthorpe, Wigston or Blaby find Giant Van a practical choice. Countesthorpe is approximately eight miles south of Evington via the A426 or the A50, a straightforward run that avoids the city ring road entirely.
- 02
Countesthorpe office removals from Leicester present their own planning considerations.
The village has limited parking on Main Street and the surrounding roads, so pre-booking a parking bay or arriving before 8am is advisable. Our team handles the logistics at both ends, not just the driving.
- 03
We carry out full office pack-down services.
We wrap monitors, disassemble workstations and label boxes by department. Everything arrives at the new site clearly marked and ready to unpack quickly. Most small office moves from Evington to the Countesthorpe area complete within a single day.
- 04
For larger commercial moves involving multiple rooms or a full floor of an office building, we recommend booking a two-man team with a Luton van.
This doubles the speed of loading and handling. Luton vans carry significantly more volume than a standard transit, which usually means one fewer trip for mid-sized offices.

Local Streets and Long Drives From Evington
Serving Leicester, not every move in Evington goes to a different city or even a different postcode.
Many customers are relocating within the neighbourhood itself. Perhaps you have found a larger house on Spencefield Lane after renting near Evington Valley Road for a few years.
Perhaps you are downsizing from a family home in LE2 to a flat nearer the Evington Road shops.
Short-hop moves within Evington are priced on an hourly basis starting at £54 per hour.
For most within-neighbourhood moves, the job takes between 90 minutes and three hours. That includes two loading trips if needed. We do not charge a minimum call-out of four hours the way some local operators do.
The biggest challenge with short-distance moves is parking at both the collection and delivery address simultaneously.
In Evington, where on-street parking is competitive, this sometimes requires one crew member to remain with the van while another assists with the move. Our two-man crews handle this naturally without needing direction from you.
We also offer a van-only hire for customers who prefer to do their own loading.
This suits trades and self-builders collecting materials. A van-only booking in the Evington area can be arranged through the app in under five minutes.
A Note From Our Evington Team
We know Evington well. Our drivers navigate the local streets daily, handling everything from narrow terraced house access to large detached properties. Every move is treated with care because our reputation in Evington depends on it.

Advance bookings attract no additional charge.
We recommend booking at least 48 hours ahead for a weekend move, as Friday and Saturday slots in the LE5 area fill quickly, especially at the start and end of each month when tenancy agreements typically change.
If your dates are flexible, midweek moves in Evington are easier to slot and often completed faster due to lighter traffic on the A6 and Evington Road.

DIY Move vs Professional Man and Van in Evington
Many people in Evington price up a DIY move thinking it will save money. Here is an honest comparison based on a typical one-bedroom flat move within LE5.
Add a £150 to £300 damage deposit held on your card for several days. You still need to source help.
That puts the realistic total at £115 to £200, not counting any parking fines on Evington Road or damage excess.
Includes a professional driver who knows the LE5 streets, full goods-in-transit insurance, all loading equipment and typically four to five hours of their working day. You are present to supervise, not to carry.
For anything involving multiple rooms, stairs or tight Evington terraces, a professional crew saves money in stress, time and avoided damage.
Evington is a close-knit part of Leicester with real character.
The shops on Evington Road, the park at the end of Spencefield Lane and the community feel along Mere Road make it a neighbourhood people do not leave lightly.
When the day does come to move, you need a van service that understands the streets, respects your belongings and does not waste your morning.
Giant Van has been running jobs in and out of LE5 long enough to know what works here.
We bring the right vehicle, the right crew size and the right attitude to every job.

Midweek slots have more flexibility and traffic in the Evington area is lighter, which keeps the job moving faster.
