House Removals in Anstey
Anstey sits on the north-west edge of Leicester, at the foot of Bradgate Park, with a mix of older village-character housing in the centre and newer residential estates on the fringes. The Bradgate Road and Cropston Road are the main routes connecting Anstey to Leicester, and the Gynsill Lane junction can be busy during peak hours. We survey every Anstey move to work out access, parking, and the best time of day to load.

EXCELLENT Based on 30 reviews Posted on amanda goodeyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great service. From the moment that Martin stepped inside our house, I knew that this was the removal company for us. That, and the fact that all communication with Richard was prompt, honest and he got back to me when he said he would! Booking the correct date was stressful as solicitors are really not very helpful so in the end I had to take the plunge and hope for the best. Luckily it worked out well. On moving day, Simon and Isaac arrived nice and early and got stuck in. A larger team had packed for us, a few days before and this was fantastic. It amazed me at the speed that they worked and I felt that they really took care with our belongings. Once we had the keys, unpacking was prompt and with 2 hours all of the beds were made, furniture positioned and cups of tea were in hand. I can’t thank everybody enough and would definitely recommend!!Posted on Madeleine PakulaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service from Martin and the rest of the team, would definitely recommend Simply Moving. They took a lot of the stress out of our house move- money well spent!Posted on Joe CooperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team were fantastic from start to finish. So professional and made everything so easy. Communication was great the whole way through, and there weren't any hidden charges added on at the end so the quote that they gave initially was accurate as well which is rare. We had a situation were our move date was rushed through and we were actually abroad until the evening of the night before the move. Simply Moving came to the house the day before whilst we were still on our house and packed the whole house up for us anyway even though we weren't there to help, and nothing was missed at all. Couldn't recommend them enough, in fact we did to our friends that have just moved and they have had a similar experience too!!Posted on AnonymousTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great job and team that helped the process of moving go through so smoothlyPosted on One Drop Nina LaurentiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would recommend Simply Moving Removals to anyone needing to move house, this is the second time we have used them and the team were great, we did not have full house to move so went with the half hourly option, they arrived on time and did not waste time getting the items into the Van and to the new house.Posted on Sandie NicholsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5th time the Simply Moving team have provided a full pack and removals service for me, and each time it is exceptional! No breakages in any of those moves. They consistently hold a 'can do' attitude, nothing is too much bother and their staff are friendly, efficient and professional. The full pack service means beds, wardrobes etc are deconstructed prior to move, and then reconstructed in the new home. On occasion, I have tagged on some unpacking, using their half hourly rate, to lighten the load on the other enough.. Can't recommend this company highly enough!Posted on Simon LewisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Polite, efficient, careful, tidy, turned up on time and worked really hard for the time they were booked. It's the 2nd time I've used Simply Moving and would recommend them highly.Posted on Ed BryningTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Simply Moving in December 24. The exchange date had slipped several times until it was pretty much the last Friday before Christmas. We had a couple of other movers that we had been speaking to but availability disappeared as the date slipped so it was almost as a last resort that we used Simply Moving and we were slightly nervous. However, we were really pleased with the move in terms of the team working through the morning to get us out and then in by the afternoon with no damages. An excellent service and very well priced.Posted on Samuel BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down the best moving/removals company around. They made the move completely stress free and easy. Would definitely use them again.
Flexible Start Times to Suit Your Move
Completions in Anstey are often unpredictable, and moving day rarely starts exactly on time. For fixed-price removals, we plan your start time around when you actually need to leave, not a rigid slot. This is confirmed in advance so there are no grey areas on the day.
For hourly removals charged in half-hour increments, start times are flexible throughout the day. Early morning, midday, afternoon and evening are all available. There is no strict cut-off, and we work at a pace that is safe and efficient.
Your Dedicated Anstey Removal Team
We cover Anstey and the LE7 postcode, including Groby, Ratby, and the villages between Anstey and the M1. For moves along the Bradgate Road and Cropston Road corridors, and out towards Rothley, Mountsorrel, and the Charnwood villages, we handle those routes regularly. The proximity to Bradgate Park means a lot of moves in this area involve properties with rural-edge access rather than standard suburban streets.
If you are moving from an older property in Anstey village centre, or from one of the newer estates near the Gynsill Lane roundabout, we plan the right approach for each. Moves between Anstey and Leicester city or out to Loughborough are also within our regular service area.
Furniture Dismantling and Reassembly
Furniture dismantling and reassembly is included in your move where needed. Our vehicles are equipped with the right tools, and beds, wardrobes and larger items are taken apart and rebuilt at the other end by the team.
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.
Packing materials are included in the packing service. After you have unpacked, we return to collect the boxes and packaging for reuse. Unpacking assistance is available at the new address if needed.
With Simply Moving handling the physical side of your Anstey 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.

Do you offer fixed-price quotes for local moves?
Yes, both fixed-price and hourly options are available. Fixed-price suits most planned moves; hourly works better for smaller or more flexible jobs. We advise which fits your move at the survey stage.

Yes. Full packing, part packing, and fragile-only options are all available. Packing is normally carried out by the team the day before your move.
Are packing materials included?
Packing materials are included when you book a packing service. If you are packing yourself, materials are available to purchase separately.
Will you dismantle and reassemble furniture?
Yes, furniture dismantling and reassembly is included where required as part of your move. Let us know at the survey stage if this will be needed.
How many movers will be on my move?
The number depends on the property size, access, and volume being moved. This is confirmed at the Anstey survey so you know what to expect before the day.
Can you work around key release times on moving day?
Yes. We plan Anstey moves around completion and key release times. Start times are discussed and confirmed in advance so there are no surprises on the day.
Are you insured during the move?
