Coverage
Eight parts of Leicestershire, the towns and villages under each, and an honest note on what each one is like to get a vehicle into — which is the part that changes your day.
City centre · Clarendon Park · Stoneygate · Highfields · Aylestone
Victorian and Edwardian terrace at scale, plus student houses and city-centre flats. Parking is the whole question, and a permit or a suspended bay is often the answer.
Oadby · Wigston · Kibworth · Great Glen
Interwar and postwar suburbs with drives, plus village streets towards Market Harborough. Among the easiest access in the county.
Loughborough · Shepshed · Quorn · Barrow upon Soar
University town and the Soar valley villages. Loughborough itself has its own removals firm and we link to them for purely local work.
Hinckley · Earl Shilton · Burbage · Market Bosworth
Market-town centres with narrow cores, newer estates on the edges, and the M69 corridor which makes the west of the county quick to reach.
Melton Mowbray · Asfordby · Bottesford · the Vale of Belvoir
Stone and brick village houses, farm conversions and lanes that decide the vehicle. Further from the motorway than anywhere else we cover.
Market Harborough · Lutterworth · Broughton Astley
Georgian town centres with restricted loading, and commuter villages along the A6 and M1 where the mornings empty early.
Coalville · Ibstock · Ashby-de-la-Zouch · Measham
Former coalfield towns and the newer estates around them, with Ashby the most period-heavy stock in the west of the county.
Rothley · Mountsorrel · Anstey · Woodhouse Eaves
Granite, slopes and narrow lanes on the edge of Charnwood Forest. Beautiful, and slower to work in than the map suggests.
Mostly that cross-county work is normal rather than exceptional: a Harborough house to a Charnwood village, a city terrace out to Ashby, a Melton farmhouse into Leicester. Those cross different roads and different access problems and want one plan rather than two.
It also means being honest about the limits. A firm working one town every day knows things we do not, and Loughborough has exactly such a firm.
removals-loughborough.co.uk covers that town daily — the student streets, the one-way system, the terraces. For a move that starts and finishes inside Loughborough they are the better call. For Loughborough to anywhere else, that is our work.
Oakham and Uppingham are a short run from Melton and we treat Rutland as part of the natural catchment. Similarly the Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire fringes — Long Eaton, Nuneaton, Atherstone — are ordinary work, though each of those counties has its own network firm for local moves.
Long-distance removals go anywhere in Britain from a Leicestershire load — the M1, M69 and A46 make the first hour straightforward in every direction. And European moves run to four countries, with the customs file prepared here.
leicestershire-removals.uk is a separate company covering the same ground in a different style. If that is who you were looking for, that is where they are.
Worth knowing
Leicester city centre and the older terraces, for parking rather than for the buildings, and the Charnwood lanes where a full-size vehicle genuinely may not fit. Both are routine once they are planned.
Only where there is real extra distance, or where a shuttle is needed because the vehicle cannot reach the property. Both appear on the quote with the reason attached.
For a full move, anywhere in the UK. For small jobs and collections, the neighbouring counties are routine — Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and Rutland.
Yes. Oakham and Uppingham are a short run from Melton and we treat them as part of the natural catchment, even though they are over the county line.
If your village is not named here it is almost certainly still covered. One email settles it.
