Timing Your Leicester City Centre Move for Savings
Giant Van vs Other Removal Companies in Leicester
Leicester City Centre is one of the most active removal corridors in the East Midlands.
The mix of Victorian terraces, new-build apartment blocks, and converted commercial buildings means every move presents its own access challenges.
Giant Van's crew are trained to handle narrow entries, communal lifts, shared car parks, and restricted loading bays common across LE1.
We liaise directly with building managers and the Leicester City Council parking team to arrange suspension bays where needed, meaning your move runs on time even on busy market days near the Corn Exchange or Clock Tower.
Our average rating reflects a consistent commitment to punctuality, careful handling, and clear communication.
Every move is handled by experienced, vetted crews.
If anything is damaged in transit, our claims process is straightforward and settled quickly.
We back every Leicester move with a satisfaction guarantee.

Moving Guides and Advice
Packing Services in Leicester City Centre — FAQs
Do you offer packing services in Leicester City Centre only, or across the wider area?
We cover Leicester City Centre and all surrounding areas including Clarendon Park, Oadby, Birstall, Wigston, and Hinckley. Our local removals in Leicester service extends up to 30 miles from the city centre. If you are moving further afield — for example, from Leicester to Birmingham or London — we offer long-distance removal services with the same packing options.
How much do packing boxes in Leicester cost with Giant Van?
We offer packing box bundles starting from around £25 for a one-bedroom set, up to £90 for a large four-bedroom house pack. All boxes are double-walled and include two rolls of tape. Wardrobe cartons, dish packs, and picture boxes are available as add-ons.
If you book a full packing service, boxes are included in the overall quote price rather than charged separately.
Can you handle fridge freezer delivery to Leicester addresses with difficult access?
Yes. We regularly carry out fridge freezer delivery to Leicester properties with narrow staircases, basement kitchens, high-rise flats, and restricted delivery entrances. Our team carries stair-climbing trolleys and uses door frame protectors as standard. We always survey access requirements at the quote stage so there are no surprises on the day. Appliances are transported upright to protect the compressor.
Are you one of the best removal companies in Leicester for last-minute moves?
We keep reserve capacity for short-notice bookings throughout the year. For local removals in Leicester with less than 48 hours' notice, message us on live chat rather than using the online form. We can usually accommodate studio and one-bedroom moves at very short notice.
Larger homes may need 72 to 96 hours depending on crew and vehicle availability, but we will always do our best to help.
Do you disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the service?
Yes. Our packing service includes flat-pack disassembly and reassembly for beds, wardrobes, dining tables, and most standard furniture. We bring the tools needed and keep all screws and fixings in labelled bags attached to the relevant piece. We recommend taking photographs of complex storage systems before the move so reassembly reflects your original layout.
Bespoke or fitted furniture is assessed individually.
Is my furniture insured during a Giant Van move in Leicester?
Every booking includes £500 of goods-in-transit cover free, with £3,000 Plus cover available for £12. Higher-value cover is available on request for moves involving antiques, fine art, or high-specification electronics. We photograph all items flagged as fragile or valuable before packing. Claims are handled in-house and typically resolved within 14 days.
We are happy to provide a copy of our insurance certificate before you book.
How do I arrange parking for a removal van in Leicester City Centre?
Leicester City Centre has several residents-only and restricted parking zones. Giant Van handles all parking suspension requests on your behalf as part of the service. We apply to Leicester City Council at least five working days before your move date. Suspension costs vary by location but are typically £50 to £120 and are charged at cost with no markup.
We confirm suspension approval before your move day.
What areas of Leicester do you cover for local removals?
Our local removals in Leicester cover all LE postcodes including LE1 through LE9, as well as nearby areas such as Loughborough, Market Harborough, Melton Mowbray, and Lutterworth. We also run regular routes to Coventry, Nottingham, Derby, and Birmingham for customers relocating out of the region.
Every move, near or far, is quoted at a fixed price with no hidden mileage charges.
