Professional Removals Services in Leicester
Giant Van is a professional removals company serving Leicester and the surrounding East Midlands area. We cover every corner of the city, from the Victorian terraces of Clarendon Park to the new-build estates in Hamilton and Beaumont Leys. We handle a single-item collection or a full four-bedroom house clearance, our team arrives on time and handles your belongings with the attention they deserve.
Our services cover three core categories. Man and van jobs are priced from £45 to £300 and suit studio flats, single-room moves, and student accommodation. Full house removals start at £250 and reach up to £850 depending on property size and distance. Office relocations are priced between £300 and £600, covering desk breakdowns, IT equipment wrapping, and weekend moves to minimise business disruption.
Every booking includes a dedicated crew of at least two movers, a clean and fully equipped vehicle, and padded blankets for furniture protection. We work Monday to Saturday and offer early morning slots from 7:30 am to help you beat Leicester's morning rush through the A50 corridor and St Margaret's Way. If you have a specific requirement, our team is happy to build a bespoke quote around your needs. Ring us on to get started.
Navigating Leicester: Access and Parking for Removals
Leicester has some access considerations that every removal crew needs to plan for in advance.
The city centre is split into several controlled zones, and Highcross Street, Granby Street, and Gallowtree Gate all have restrictions on large vehicles at certain hours. Our drivers know which routes allow transit-size and curtainsider vehicles, and they plan every job accordingly.
In the LE1 postcode, properties on King Street and New Walk often have double yellow lines right outside.
We carry permit applications and can arrange short-duration loading exemptions with Leicester City Council where needed. For student properties around Victoria Park Road and De Montfort Street near the university, we recommend booking an early slot between 7:30 am and 9 am before parking becomes competitive.
Properties in Oadby (LE2), Wigston (LE18), and Blaby (LE8) generally have good driveway or on-street access, but gated estates in Braunstone Town and Eyres Monsell can restrict vehicle width.
Tell us your address when you call, and we will check access on Google Street View and satellite maps before the move day so there are no surprises. Our advance planning means your move stays on schedule even in Leicester's trickier postcodes.

6 Tips
Here are practical steps that Leicester-specific moves benefit from most.
Leicester City Council's Freemen's Common Household Waste Recycling Centre on Meynells Grange Road accepts bulky items at no charge for residents. Getting rid of unwanted furniture before the move day reduces your load and reduces your bill.
In a typical semi-detached property on Saffron Lane or a Victorian terrace on Evington Road, our crew can clear and reload a van in roughly two to three hours when boxes are clearly labelled and stacked near the front door.
Leicester City Council processes bay suspension requests and typically requires at least five working days notice. Streets like Highfields' Melbourne Road and Spinney Hill's Spencefield Lane can get congested from 8 am onwards, so an official suspension saves time.
This includes Leicester City Council for council tax updates, your GP surgery, dentist, and schools. Royal Mail's redirection service costs from £39.99 for three months and covers all mail from your old LE postcode.
This avoids billing disputes with energy suppliers serving the area.

Here is exactly what every booking covers.
Every job includes a minimum crew of two fully trained movers who have completed manual handling certification.
Your possessions travel wrapped in professional-grade padded moving blankets, keeping sofas, dining tables, and fragile furniture safe throughout transit.
Our vans carry furniture dollies, moving straps, and floor runners to protect your carpets during the carry-out.
Disassembly and reassembly of flat-pack furniture, standard bed frames, and wardrobe units is included in full house removals priced at £250 and above.
We bring our own screwdrivers, Allen keys, and rubber mallets.
You do not need to do this yourself.
Packing materials are available as an optional add-on.
We supply double-walled cardboard boxes, bubble wrap rolls, packing paper, and strong parcel tape.
If you want a full packing service the day before your move, our team can box every room in your Leicester property and label each box clearly by room.
This add-on is priced separately and can be discussed when you call.
Short-term storage is also available if there is a gap between leaving your current address in LE5 or LE7 and taking possession of your new property.
We use secure, dry facilities and offer weekly rates with no long-term contracts.

How to Book Giant Van in Leicester: Step by Step
01
Booking your Leicester removal with Giant Van takes less than ten minutes.
Here is how the process works from first contact to completion.
02
Step one is to call us on or request a callback through our website.
Have your collection and delivery postcodes ready, along with your preferred moving date. Our team operates seven days a week for quotes, so you can call on a Sunday evening without any problem.
03
Step two is the survey.
For moves involving three bedrooms or more, or for office relocations from sites in LE1, LE3, or LE4, we offer a short video survey to count rooms, assess furniture sizes, and identify any access challenges. This takes around 15 minutes and means your quote is accurate, not an estimate that changes on the day.
04
Step three is confirmation.
Once you accept your quote, we send a written confirmation by email showing the agreed price, your crew size, vehicle type, and the arrival window. We ask for a small deposit to secure the date, with the balance payable on completion.
05
Step four is move day.
Our crew calls 30 minutes before arrival. They complete a brief walk-through of both properties with you before touching anything, confirming the order in which rooms will be loaded. Step five is completion. Once everything is in place at your new address, our crew leader does a final walkthrough with you to confirm everything has arrived in good order.

Why Choose Giant Van as Your Leicester Removals Company
Choosing the right removals company in Leicester makes a significant difference to how your moving day feels. Giant Van has built its reputation on three things: punctuality, transparency, and care for your belongings.
Every crew member is directly employed by Giant Van. We do not use agency staff or subcontracted drivers. This means the people who arrive at your door in Narborough Road or Glenfield Road have been trained to our standards and are accountable to us. Many of our Leicester crew members have been with the company for over three years and know the city's roads, parking patterns, and access quirks in detail.
Our pricing is straightforward. Man and van jobs run from £45 to £300. Full house removals are priced between £250 and £850. Office moves fall between £300 and £600. The quote you receive is the price you pay. There are no fuel surcharges added on moving day and no charges for stairs unless you have more than three flights in a property with no lift access.
We carry full goods-in-transit insurance on every job, covering your possessions up to £25,000 per vehicle load. Our public liability insurance covers damage to both the collection and delivery properties. We are happy to email copies of both certificates before your booking date. When it comes to moving in Leicester, Giant Van offers the right combination of local knowledge, trained staff, and honest pricing.

Best Times to Book a Leicester Removal
4 Tips
The busiest periods for removals in the city are the last and first weekends of each month, when the majority of tenancy agreements start and end. If you have flexibility in your completion date, choosing a mid-month weekday in Tuesday to Thursday will often mean faster availability and, in some cases, a lower rate.
University students vacating properties near Victoria Park and Clarendon Park create high demand from late June onwards. If you are moving during this period, book at least four to six weeks in advance to secure your preferred date.
Completing a purchase during these months means you will have the widest choice of dates and crews, and booking on shorter notice is usually possible.
If your conveyancer gives you the option of a Thursday completion, taking it reduces the chance of delays caused by chains further up or down the process. Leicester's county court and Land Registry offices both process transfers Monday to Friday, so Thursday gives you a full working day buffer if your chain hits a last-minute problem.
Giant Van vs Other Leicester Removals Companies
9 Tips
Leicester is one of the UK's most diverse and fast-growing cities, with a housing market that sees thousands of people relocating every year.
From the Georgian townhouses on New Walk to the modern apartments overlooking the River Soar at Bede Island, the variety of property types across the LE postcodes means every move presents its own set of requirements.
Giant Van has handled removals across every Leicester neighbourhood, giving our team a level of local familiarity that national chains simply cannot match.
When you call 020 3129 6180, you speak directly to a coordinator who knows if your street in Belgrave or your office in Meridian Business Park has a loading restriction, and plans accordingly.
Moving is consistently rated as one of life's most stressful experiences, but the right removals company in Leicester removes most of that pressure.
Giant Van's crews work quickly, communicate clearly, and treat every item as if it belongs to someone they know.
We have helped families move from first flats in Highfields to larger homes in Oadby, and we have assisted businesses relocate from the Leicester Science Park on Freer Road to purpose-built units at Optimus Point in Glenfield.
Whatever your move involves, call us on 020 3129 6180 and we will put together a clear, fixed-price quote the same day.

How far in advance should I book a Leicester removal?

We offer competitive man and van rates from £45 for small student loads. Our crews know parking patterns around Victoria Park Road, De Montfort Street, and the Clarendon Park area well. Book early in summer as demand peaks in July and August.
What happens if my completion is delayed on moving day?
Delayed completions are common in Leicester property chains. Giant Van builds a flexibility window into every house removal booking. If your solicitor's call is delayed, our crew can wait at the collection property or park safely nearby without automatically charging an hourly wait fee for the first 90 minutes. Call us as soon as you know there is a delay and we will manage the day around you.
