Syston Removals & Moving Company

Syston is a growing residential town to the north-east of Leicester, with a steady supply of family housing ranging from 1960s estates to newer builds near the Barkby Road. The town has good rail links into Leicester and sits on a busy commuter corridor. We survey every Syston move to assess parking, access, and the best timing around school and commuter traffic.

Flexible Start Times to Suit Your Move

Completion times in Syston can move throughout the day and chains can run late. For fixed-price removals, we set your start time around when you need to leave. That is worked out in advance, not decided on the morning.

Hourly removals run on half-hour increments with flexible start times throughout the day. Early morning, midday, afternoon, and evening starts are all available, and there is no set limit on how long the team can work.

Your Dedicated Syston Removal Team

We cover Syston and the LE7 postcode, including Barkby, Barkby Thorpe, Queniborough, and East Goscote. For moves along the Melton Road and Barkby Road corridors, and out to Rothley, Mountsorrel, and Sileby in Charnwood, we handle those routes regularly. Thurmaston and Birstall to the south are also within our normal service area.

Many Syston moves are between the town and Leicester city, often as families upsize or downsize along the A607 corridor. If you are moving from a newer estate with allocated parking, or from one of the older terraced streets closer to the High Street, we plan the right approach at the survey stage.

Furniture Dismantling and Reassembly

Dismantling and reassembly of furniture is part of the service. The team carries the tools to handle beds, wardrobes and larger items on moving day and rebuilds everything at your new address.

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 when you book the packing service. We return after the move to collect boxes and materials. Unpacking at the new address is also available to arrange.

With Simply Moving handling the physical side of your Syston 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.

Frequently asked questions

What areas of Syston do you cover?

We cover Syston (LE7) and the surrounding villages including Barkby, Queniborough, East Goscote, Ratcliffe on the Wreake, and Rearsby. We also move regularly between Syston and Leicester, Thurmaston, Birstall, and Mountsorrel.

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.

How do I get a quote for a local removal?

You can request a quote via the survey form on our website, arrange a video survey, or book an in-person home survey. We visit both addresses before confirming a fixed-price quote.

Can you help with packing for a Syston move?

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 Syston survey so you know what to expect before the day.

Can you work around key release times on moving day?

Yes. We plan Syston 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?

Yes, insurance options are available to cover your belongings in transit. Ask at the survey stage for further details.

How far in advance should I book?

As early as possible, particularly for Friday moves in spring and summer. We take provisional Syston bookings and confirm on exchange.
