Highfields sits on high ground southeast of Leicester city centre.
The area is bounded by London Road to the south, the Midland Main Line to the west, and East Park Road to the east.
This tight geography means our drivers can reach any address in the LE2 postcode within minutes of booking.

Getting to Your Highfields Property
House removals in Highfields demand a crew that understands the area.
Many homes here are Victorian terraces on streets like Lincoln Street, Severn Street and Gotham Street. These properties have narrow hallways, tight staircases and limited front-of-house parking. Our teams handle these challenges every week.
We price house removals based on property size.
A one-bedroom flat costs between £250 and £400. Two-bedroom homes fall between £400 and £650. Larger three-bedroom houses range from £650 to £900. Every quote includes loading, transport and unloading at your new address.
Our crews arrive with a full kit.
Wardrobe boxes protect hanging clothes. Mattress covers stop marks and tears. Furniture blankets shield wooden surfaces during transit. We disassemble beds, tables and shelving units, then rebuild them at the other end.
Parking in Highfields can be tricky, especially near Highfield Street and the Evington Road junction.
We advise booking a parking suspension through Leicester City Council at least a week before your move. Our team can guide you through this process when you confirm your booking.
The LE2 1AH, LE2 1AG and LE2 1ED postcodes are all within our core service area.
We run house removals in Highfields seven days a week, including bank holidays. Same-day moves are available when you need to shift quickly. Call or use the Giant Van app to lock in your date and get a fixed price.
Highfields Removals and Courier Pricing
Giant Van keeps pricing simple and transparent for every job in Highfields. Our man and van service starts from £54 per hour, covering the driver, vehicle, blankets, straps and trolleys. House removal prices are based on property size: one-bedroom moves cost between £250 and £400, two-bedroom homes range from £400 to £650, and three-bedroom properties fall between £650 and £900.
Same day courier Leicester jobs are quoted based on distance and load size. Every price includes full insurance and GPS tracking. No hidden charges, no fuel surcharges, no weekend premiums. Get your exact quote through the Giant Van app or message us in the live chat.

Work Out Your Moving CostThings That Simplify a Highfields Move
Packing a whole house takes most people two or three full days. Our crew does it in hours, with better results and zero broken items.
Bubble wrap protects glass, ceramics and electronics. Acid-free tissue paper keeps delicate fabrics safe. Every box is labelled by room so unpacking at your new place is straightforward.
Each property type calls for a different packing approach. Student rooms near University Road often need quick partial packs for end-of-term moves. Family homes on Melbourne Road and Upper Tichborne Street usually require full-service packing with fragile item handling.
Standalone packing works well if you want us to pack today and a different crew to move tomorrow. Combined bookings save time and money because one team handles everything from start to finish.
No trips to the hardware shop, no guessing how many boxes you need. We bring exactly what your property requires based on the room count and contents you describe during booking. Get your packing quote through the app or ring.

Highfields: Quote, Confirm, Move
- 01
Highfields is one of Leicester's most densely packed neighbourhoods.
Streets here were built in the Victorian era, long before wide roads and driveways became standard. Moving house or receiving large deliveries in this area takes local knowledge and the right equipment.
- 02
Giant Van drivers work in Highfields regularly.
They know which streets allow through traffic and which are restricted. They know the one-way systems near Spinney Hill Park. They know where to park a long-wheelbase van on Mandora Lane without blocking the road. This knowledge saves you time and stress on moving day.
- 03
Our fleet ranges from small transit vans to large Luton box vans.
For a bedsit on Gotham Street, a transit van is enough. For a three-bedroom family home near Victoria Park, we send a Luton with a tail lift. Every vehicle is clean, well-maintained and fitted with load-securing points.

Postcodes We Reach From Highfields
Highfields sits between some of Leicester's busiest corridors.
London Road (A6) runs along the southern edge. Evington Road cuts through the eastern side. The Midland Main Line marks the western boundary near Leicester railway station. Knowing how traffic flows through these routes shapes how we plan your move.
Morning rush hour on London Road peaks between 7:30 and 9:00.
We recommend booking early morning collections before 7:00 or mid-morning slots after 9:30. This avoids the worst congestion near the A6 junction and keeps your move running to schedule.
Parking is the biggest challenge in Highfields.
Most streets have terraced houses with no off-street parking. Residents use permit zones across the LE2 1AA, LE2 1AH and LE2 1EB postcodes. For house removals, we strongly recommend applying for a temporary parking bay suspension through Leicester City Council. This guarantees a space for the van directly outside your property.
Streets near Spinney Hill Park and St Peter's Road can be narrow during school drop-off times.
If your move passes through this area, we schedule around the 8:30 to 9:15 and 3:00 to 3:45 windows. Small adjustments like these prevent delays and keep your costs down.
Our route planning software factors in live traffic data from across Leicester.
Combined with our drivers' local knowledge of Highfields, this means fewer wrong turns, less waiting and faster completion times. Every minute counts when you are paying by the hour.
A Note From Our Highfields Leicester Team
We know Highfields Leicester 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 Highfields Leicester depends on it.

Each September and June, hundreds of students need to move between halls, shared houses and family homes. Our student packages cover single-room moves at a fixed rate, with no hourly clock ticking.
Tip runs and waste clearance keep the bookings coming year-round. Old mattresses, broken furniture and garden waste all go in the van. We handle disposal at the nearest licensed facility so you do not need to queue at the tip yourself.
