Wigston: From Furniture to Full Homes
Pricing is straightforward with Giant Van. There are no hidden fees and no nasty surprises on moving day.
Our man and van service in Wigston starts from £54 per hour. That rate covers the driver and a loaded Transit-size van. Most single-item collections around Wigston Magna or South Wigston take one to two hours.
For a full house move, prices depend on the size of your home:
1-bedroom flat or house: £250 to £400
2-bedroom property: £400 to £650
3-bedroom property: £650 to £900
These are all-in prices that include the van, the crew, fuel within Leicestershire, and basic furniture protection blankets. Stairs, long carries from properties on Bell Street or Station Road, and extra packing materials may add a small supplement — we always confirm this on your quote before any booking is confirmed.
Wigston is compact and well-connected, which keeps journey times short. Moving between LE18 2 and LE18 3 postcodes rarely adds significant time. If you're relocating to or from nearby Oadby, Blaby, or Countesthorpe, our local knowledge means we route efficiently to avoid peak-hour delays on the A5199 Welford Road corridor.
Same-day bookings carry no premium charge at Giant Van. Book by 10am and we can usually be with you the same afternoon. Use our app to get an instant quote, track your crew in real time, and pay securely once the job is done.
Wigston Move Logistics Explained
Wigston is one of Leicestershire's most active property markets.
Families move between the Victorian terraces along Moat Street, the post-war semis on Bassett Street, and the newer estates near Countesthorpe Road regularly throughout the year.
Giant Van handles all of it.
Our house removals service in Wigston covers everything from a single-room clearance to a full three-bedroom family home.
We bring a crew of two trained movers and a long-wheelbase van as standard for residential moves.
Larger properties get a bigger vehicle and an extra pair of hands.
Wigston's older streets can be narrow.
Moat Street, parts of Blaby Road near the town centre, and the terrace rows off Long Street all have limited parking.
Our drivers know this.
We assess access when you book and bring the right-sized vehicle.
We can also arrange a parking suspension permit if your road needs one — just let us know 48 hours before.
We're fully insured for goods in transit and public liability.
Every item is wrapped in furniture blankets before it goes on the van.
Fragile items are bubble-wrapped and secured separately.
If you want us to pack boxes too, we offer a full packing service using double-walled boxes at an agreed day rate.
Our GPS tracking means you and your family can follow the van on the app in real time.
No waiting around wondering where your belongings are.
When the crew arrives at your new address, they unload to room of choice and reassemble any flat-pack beds or wardrobes we dismantled at the collection point.

What Your Wigston Booking Includes
Giant Van covers the full LE18 postcode district and all surrounding areas within the southern Leicester corridor.
Within Wigston itself, we regularly work in:.
Wigston Magna (LE18 1, LE18 2, LE18 3) — the main residential and commercial centre, including moves around Long Street, Leicester Road, and Bull Head Street.
South Wigston (LE18 4) — the denser terraced streets off Blaby Road and the area around Saffron Road.
Wigston Fields — the quieter residential streets closer to the Oadby boundary on Welford Road.
Beyond Wigston, our crews operate daily across:.
Oadby (LE2 4, LE2 5) — neighbouring town with frequent moves between the two areas.
Blaby (LE8 4) — a short run along the A426.
Countesthorpe (LE8 5) — village moves to and from Wigston are common.
Glen Parva (LE2 9) — shares a boundary with South Wigston.
Leicester city centre (LE1, LE2, LE3) — student and professional relocations handled daily.
We also do longer runs to Hinckley, Loughborough, Coventry, and Birmingham if you need to move further afield.
Intercity moves are priced per job, not per hour.
Ask for a fixed quote when you call.
Wigston's position at the junction of the A5199 and A426 means our drivers navigate local traffic patterns well.
We avoid Wigston town centre during school pickup times and plan routes around the South Wigston rail crossing, which can cause short delays during busy periods.

No Corner of Wigston Left Out
Wigston is a practical town to move in and out of, but a few local details will make your moving day run more smoothly.
Parking on narrower streets.
Long Street, Moat Street, and the residential terraces off Bull Head Street in Wigston Magna can get busy during weekday mornings. If you're moving from a property without off-street parking, book your move for early morning, ideally before 8:30am, or late afternoon after 3:30pm. This avoids the worst of the school-run and local shopping traffic.
South Wigston access.
The streets in LE18 4, particularly around Saffron Road and Blaby Road, have some tight turning points for larger vehicles. Our drivers are familiar with this area and will bring the appropriately sized van. If you're unsure, mention it when you book and we'll confirm vehicle size.
The railway crossing.
The South Wigston level crossing on Blaby Road can cause brief queues during peak times. Our crews account for this when planning arrival windows.
Nearby storage.
If your new property isn't ready on moving day, there are self-storage facilities on Lutterworth Road in Leicester and at the Meridian Business Park that can bridge the gap. We can drop belongings there and return to complete your delivery once access is available.
Pack by room.
Label every box clearly with the destination room. Our crew unload to the correct room at no extra charge, which saves you hours of re-sorting afterwards.
Utility meter readings.
Take photos of your gas, electric, and water meters at both properties on moving day. It takes two minutes and prevents disputed bills later.
For anything specific about your Wigston move, call and speak to someone who knows the area.

What Sets Giant Van Apart in Wigston
Wigston has a close-knit community and word travels fast. When one family on Bassett Street has a good moving experience, their neighbours find out. Giant Van has built its reputation in south Leicester through straightforward service and honest pricing.
Here's why local residents keep coming back and recommending us:
We're transparent about pricing. There are no fuel levies, no staircase charges buried in the small print, and no call-out fee that push up the bill unexpectedly. What you see on the quote is what you pay.
We work around your schedule. Completions in Wigston often happen mid-morning. Our crews are available from 7am and can work into early evening if the job runs long. We don't rush you off the van to make the next booking.
We know south Leicester. Our drivers work this patch regularly. They know that the car park behind the Iceland on Long Street fills up by 9am. They know the best approach route to South Wigston from the A426. That local knowledge saves time on your moving day.
Same-day availability. Many removal companies in the area book up two to three weeks ahead. Giant Van keeps slots available for urgent same-day requests throughout the week.
Every move is handled by experienced, vetted crews. You won't get an unfamiliar subcontractor turning up with a rented transit and no equipment.
App and GPS tracking. The real-time tracking feature is something customers consistently mention. Knowing exactly where the van is removes the anxiety from moving day.
