Property Types We Handle in Leicester
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
What Leicester Reliable Removals Includes
Price is the first thing most people want to know, so here it is plainly. Giant Van charges from £250 for a one-bedroom move within Leicester. A two-bedroom home costs between £400 and £650. A three-bedroom property runs from £650 to £900. These figures cover a local Leicester-to-Leicester move with a standard loading time.
Several things affect the final price. Distance between the two properties matters, even within the city. A move from Belgrave to Braunstone will cost less than one crossing from Evington to Blaby. Floor access is another factor. Ground-floor flats load faster than third-floor flats with no lift. The same applies at the delivery address.
Volume is the biggest driver. A two-bedroom house with a loft full of boxes costs more to move than a two-bedroom flat with minimal furniture. When you request a quote, be honest about what you have. Our team can ask the right questions so nothing surprises you on moving day.
Man and Van service starts from £54 per hour. This works well for smaller moves, single-room clearances, or when you only need help with heavy items like sofas and beds. You can book by the hour or for a fixed half-day slot.
Every quote is binding. The price we give you is the price you pay. We do not add fuel surcharges or late fees unless the job significantly overruns the agreed scope. Call for a same-day quote, or use our app to get a figure in under two minutes.
Leicester Reliable Removals: No Access Surprises
Leicester is not a straightforward city to navigate with a large removal van.
The city centre has narrow Victorian streets, particularly around Highfields, Spinney Hills, and St Matthews. Some roads have height restrictions that make certain approach routes impossible. Parking permits and resident zones cover large parts of the inner city, including Stoneygate and West End.
Our drivers know which roads allow 7.5-tonne vehicles and which do not.
They know where to request temporary parking suspensions from Leicester City Council before moving day. They know the difference between moving on a Tuesday morning near Narborough Road, where traffic flows well, and a Friday afternoon near the A47, where it rarely does.
This matters because delays cost money.
A driver who has to reroute, circle, or wait adds time to your move. Our teams plan routes in advance and arrive knowing exactly where to park and how long the walk to your front door will be.
We cover all Leicester postcodes: LE1 through LE9 and all surrounding suburbs.
That includes Aylestone, Beaumont Leys, Birstall, Knighton, Rushey Mead, Thurmaston, Wigston, and everything between. If you are leaving a student flat near De Montfort University or moving a five-bedroom family home in Houghton on the Hill, we have the local knowledge to do it efficiently.
Home removals in Leicester benefit enormously from a crew that understands the city.
You are not paying for a team to learn the roads on your moving day.

Straightforward Reliable Removals Booking in Leicester
- 01
Packing is where most moves go wrong.
Poorly packed boxes collapse in the van. Items that are not wrapped properly arrive scratched or broken. Fragile things need more than a layer of newspaper to survive a journey across Leicester's roads.
- 02
Giant Van offers a full packing service as an add-on to any home removal in Leicester.
Our packers bring double-walled boxes, tissue paper, packing peanuts, bubble wrap, and wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes. They pack room by room and label every box with its contents and destination room.
- 03
This is worth considering even if you plan to pack most things yourself.
The items most likely to be damaged are the ones people pack last, when they are tired and in a rush. Letting us handle your kitchen, glassware, or artwork reduces the risk significantly.
- 04
We also offer partial packing.
If you want to pack your own clothes and books but need help with the kitchen and living room, we can quote for exactly that. You do not have to take the full service to benefit from professional packing on the parts that matter most.
- 05
Packing materials are available to purchase separately if you prefer to pack yourself.
We can deliver boxes, tape, and wrapping materials to your Leicester address before moving day so you can start early.
- 06
Unpacking is available at the delivery address too.
Our team can unbox and place items in your new home so you do not arrive to a stack of cardboard and nowhere to sit.

Reliable Removals Postcodes in Leicester
Leicester has a significant student population across two universities.
De Montfort University and the University of Leicester together bring tens of thousands of students to the city every year.
Student moves have their own particular challenges that a general removal service often handles poorly.
Most student properties are terraced houses on narrow streets in Highfields, Clarendon Park, and the New Walk area.
Parking on these streets is difficult at the best of times.
At the start and end of term, it borders on impossible.
Multiple students moving in and out of the same road on the same weekend creates real congestion.
Our Man and Van service from £54 per hour is designed for student volumes.
A typical student bedroom and shared-space items fit in one trip.
We work early mornings and evenings to avoid peak parking chaos on popular student streets.
We also help with the end-of-year clearance problem.
Many students need to empty a property quickly when the tenancy ends.
We can remove furniture, take boxes to a storage unit, or deliver items to a home address outside Leicester.
Same-day bookings work well for end-of-tenancy situations.
If you are a landlord or letting agent managing multiple properties near the universities, we can arrange scheduled moves across several properties.
Volume bookings carry reduced rates.
Message us on live chat to discuss what you need.
A Note From Our Leicester Team
We know 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 Leicester depends on it.

Leicester Reliable Removals: Why Customers Return
When you are looking at home removals in Leicester, you will encounter several different types of provider.
Understanding the difference helps you make the right choice for your situation.
Independent sole traders offer the lowest prices.
A man with a van and no employees will quote less than any company.
The risk is that they carry no goods-in-transit insurance, have no backup if the vehicle breaks down, and have no one to escalate to if something goes wrong.
For moving a few boxes, this is fine.
For moving a full household with irreplaceable items, it is a significant gamble.
National removal chains are at the other end of the scale.
They are well-organised and insured, but they often subcontract local Leicester jobs to third parties.
You book with a brand and get a crew you have never heard of.
Prices are higher because of the overhead, and local knowledge is often limited.
Giant Van sits between these options.
We are a proper company with insured crews and GPS tracking.
We have local Leicester presence and local routing knowledge.
We offer the responsiveness of a local operator with the professionalism of an established service.
Our instant quote app means you get a firm price immediately, not a callback two days later.
Same-day availability also sets us apart from most Leicester removal firms.
Booking weeks ahead is standard in this industry.
We have built our operation to handle urgent bookings without sacrificing quality.
