Properties in Stoneygate tend to be substantial Victorian and Edwardian houses, which means moves here often involve three or more floors, original tiled hallways, and large pieces of furniture.

Giant Van vs. Self-Move: Which Is Right for Stoneygate?
Stoneygate sits in the LE2 postcode south of Leicester city centre, bordered by Victoria Park and the Highfields area.
It is a leafy, residential neighbourhood popular with families and professionals, characterised by large Victorian and Edwardian semis and detached homes.
Properties here often feature original tiled hallways, high ceilings, and bay windows, all of which add charm but can complicate a removal if the crew is not prepared.
Giant Van's teams understand the physical demands of moving in period properties and bring the right equipment, including long piano boards, stair-climbing sack trucks, and padded blankets, to handle every job safely.
We complete dozens of Stoneygate moves each year and know which streets have resident parking suspensions and which junctions need careful manoeuvring.
Giant Van has been providing low-cost vans in Leicester for years, building a reputation for reliability across every postcode in the city.
Our pricing is honest: we quote a fixed rate based on the volume of goods, distance, and services chosen, and that rate does not change on moving day unless you add extra items at the last minute.
We are fully insured for goods in transit and public liability, and all our drivers hold current licences for the vehicle class they operate.
Every move is handled by experienced, vetted crews.
The team that shows up is our team, trained, uniformed, and accountable.
That consistency is why so many Stoneygate residents come back to us and refer their neighbours.

Packing Services in Stoneygate — FAQs
How much do low-cost vans in Leicester typically cost for a Stoneygate move?
Prices vary by job size, but a single-room or studio move within Stoneygate or to a nearby Leicester postcode typically starts from around £80 to £120. A two to three-bedroom house move with packing support is usually in the £350 to £600 range depending on volume and distance. We provide fixed quotes upfront, so there are no surprises.
Contact us with your details for a same-day written estimate.
Do you provide packing boxes and materials as part of your Stoneygate packing service?
Yes, all packing materials are included when you book our full or partial packing service. We bring double-walled boxes in three sizes, bubble wrap, foam padding, tissue paper, wardrobe cartons, mattress bags, and dish-pack cartons for fragile items. You do not need to source anything separately.
If you prefer to use your own boxes, we are happy to work with those as well, though we do recommend our reinforced stock for heavy or breakable items.
Can you do a man and van in Stoneygate at the weekend?
We operate seven days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. Saturday and Sunday slots are popular in Stoneygate because many buyers and tenants prefer not to take time off work for a move. We recommend booking weekend slots at least a week in advance during busy periods such as the end of the month, school holidays, and summer.
Same-day weekend availability is sometimes possible, so message us on live chat and we will check the rota for you.
How far in advance should I book Stoneygate packing services in Leicester?
For a full packing and removal service in Stoneygate, we recommend booking two to three weeks ahead. This ensures you get your preferred date and gives us time to allocate the right size van and crew. That said, we handle short-notice bookings regularly.
If your move is within 48 hours, message us in the live chat rather than using the online form, and we will do our best to accommodate you from our flexible daily rota.
Are your vans insured for goods in transit in the Leicester area?
Yes. All Giant Van vehicles carry goods-in-transit insurance and public liability cover. This means your belongings are protected while they are being loaded, in transit, and during unloading. We handle each item with care, but in the unlikely event of damage, our insurance policy covers the claim.
We recommend you also check your home contents insurance, as some policies extend cover during a move for additional protection.
Do you offer storage if my new Stoneygate property is not ready on moving day?
We do. Giant Van works with secure Leicester storage facilities near the LE2 area that are alarmed, dry, and accessible throughout the week. If your completion is delayed or your new home needs work before you can move in, we can pack and transport your belongings to storage and then deliver them when you are ready.
Ask for a combined removal-and-storage quote when you contact us for the best all-in price.
What size van will I need for a house move in Stoneygate?
The right van depends on how many rooms you are moving and how much furniture you have. A transit van suits a one to two-bedroom flat with standard furnishings. A Luton van with a tail lift is better for a three to four-bedroom house, especially if you have large sofas, wardrobes, or a dining table and chairs.
When you contact us, we ask a few quick questions about your rooms and list any large items, and we then recommend the most cost-effective vehicle size for your job.
Can I get a quote for local man and van Leicester services online?
Yes, fill in the quote form on our website with your pickup and drop-off addresses, number of rooms, preferred date, and any extras such as packing. We will respond with a fixed written quote the same day, usually within a couple of hours during business hours.
Alternatively, message us in the live chat and we can take your details and give you a price straight away. There is no obligation to book after receiving a quote.
