Compare Removal Companies in Leicester

House removals in Leicester's terraces

Highfields, Clarendon Park and the West End off Narborough Road are Victorian terraced streets with on-street parking. For house removals here, the question is where the van stops. Say on the form if there are yellow lines or a permit zone outside.

Terraces are Leicester's signature: 29% of households lived in one at the 2021 Census. Much of Clarendon Park Road is in residents' permit Zone K, and Gotham Street in Highfields is Zone E. Permits are digital through MiPermit.

Stoneygate and Knighton villas

South-east of the centre the houses get bigger. Victorian villas on roads like Knighton Park Road often have cellars and full lofts. A packing day before the move can be cheaper than a longer moving day — our packing service page explains how that is priced.

Pianos, furniture and storage

Moving an upright piano out of a Clarendon Park front room, or a wardrobe down a Belgrave stairwell? Name the item and the floor on the form. Companies that offer piano removals or furniture-only moves can then price the carry. If you need a gap between selling and buying, removals and storage can go on the same quote.

Man with a van in Leicester

Leaving a shared house near De Montfort, or taking a sofa from Aylestone to Evington? A smaller job doesn't need a full crew. An hourly man and van is usually the better-value booking, and the same form asks for it.

Office moves and long-distance removals

Moving a shop or office? Ask for office removals quotes and say whether it has to happen out of hours. The M1 runs past the city's western edge, so moves to London or the North are quoted as long distance removals, with the road time built in.

Clearances

Probate and rental turnovers go to house clearance firms through the same form. Ask each one for its waste carrier licence.

There's no clean air zone charge in Leicester. The council said in November 2021 that its charging plans were no longer needed, as air quality had improved. Any quote that adds an emissions fee for the city centre deserves a question.
