Earl Shilton Removals & Moving Company

Earl Shilton is a former hosiery town between Hinckley and Leicester, with a tight residential centre and a mix of Victorian terraces, 1960s housing, and a few newer developments on the edges. On-street parking is the reality for most moves here, and the central streets around Wood Street and Shilton Road can be busy during the day. We survey every Earl Shilton move to plan around the access and parking before the day starts.

Flexible Start Times to Suit Your Move

In Earl Shilton, completion times vary and chains occasionally stall. For fixed-price removals waiting on key release, we plan your start time around when you need to vacate. This is discussed and confirmed before moving day.

For hourly removals, we offer flexible start times on half-hour increments throughout the day. Early morning, midday, afternoon or evening. The team stays until the job is done and works safely and efficiently throughout.

Your Dedicated Earl Shilton Removal Team

We cover Earl Shilton and the LE9 postcode, including Barwell, Kirkby Mallory, and the surrounding villages in Hinckley and Bosworth district. For moves along the B4669 towards Leicester and the M69, or across towards Hinckley, we are familiar with the routes and access points in the area.

The older residential streets in Earl Shilton can be tight for a full-size lorry, and we assess this at the survey. For moves where access is constrained, we plan the right vehicle combination and loading sequence in advance. Properties on the newer estates are generally more straightforward, but we still survey to confirm both ends of every fixed-price move.

Furniture Dismantling and Reassembly

Beds, wardrobes and larger items are dismantled by the team and rebuilt at your new home as part of the move. Our vehicles carry the tools needed, and this is planned at the survey stage.

If you know dismantling will be needed, let us know at the survey stage so we can plan the right team size and timings. There are a few things we cannot carry out, such as electrical disconnections or wall mounting. If you are unsure, ask at the survey and we will advise.

Optional Packing Services

Packing is usually the most time-consuming part of any house move. Our professional packing service is normally completed the day before your move. The team packs everything carefully, wraps fragile items, and labels each box by room. Full packing, part packing, and fragile-only packing are all available.

Materials are all included in the packing service. We collect boxes after the move for reuse. Unpacking at your new address is also available if you would like that arranged.

With Simply Moving handling the physical side of your Earl Shilton move, you can focus on the legal and practical steps. We also offer storage if there is a gap between leaving your current property and getting into the new one.
