These are the 20 towns we get to most often, with the postcodes covered in and around each one. If your town isn't on the list, ask anyway: we run longer moves across the country too.
Leicester and the city suburbs
All LE1 to LE5 postcodes plus the ring of suburbs around the city. The A6, A47 and the A563 ring road are our usual routes in and out.

We understand that moving day rarely runs to a perfect schedule. For fixed price removals, especially where you are waiting on key release or completion, we tailor your start time around when you need to vacate your current property. This is discussed in advance to ensure the day runs as smoothly as possible.
For hourly removals, charged in half-hour increments, we offer flexible start times throughout the day. Typical options include early morning, midday, afternoon or evening starts. There is no strict limit on how long you can have the team, and we always work efficiently and safely to give you the best value for your move.
Your Dedicated Removal Team
Your removal team is allocated based on the specific requirements of your move. If your property has difficult access, stairs, lifts or restricted parking, we plan accordingly. Some moves require additional movers or multiple vehicles rather than a single large truck, and we organise this in advance.
If your move involves multiple pick-up or drop-off locations, this can also be arranged. Every local move is planned to suit the property, access and logistics involved, ensuring nothing is rushed or overlooked.
Furniture Dismantling and Reassembly
Our removal vehicles are fully equipped with the tools needed to dismantle and reassemble furniture as part of your move. Beds, wardrobes and larger items can be taken apart and rebuilt at your new home by our team.
If you know in advance that furniture dismantling will be required, letting us know helps us plan the right team size and timings. There are a few tasks we cannot carry out, such as electrical disconnections or wall mounting, but if you are unsure about anything, just ask and we will advise.
Optional Packing Services
Packing is often the most time-consuming part of moving home. Our professional packing service is designed to free up your time and remove stress. Usually completed the day before your move, our team carefully packs everything for you, from kitchen items and fragile belongings to pictures, garages and storage areas.
Each item is wrapped and boxed properly, clearly labelled by room, and prepared for safe transport. Furniture dismantling and reassembly is included, and unpacking services are also available if you want extra support at your new home.
All packing materials are included in the service, and once you have unpacked, we return to collect boxes and materials for reuse or recycling. With Simply Moving, you can focus on the legal and practical side of moving while we handle the heavy lifting.
