Wigston Removals & Moving Company
Wigston sits directly south of Leicester, with one of the most active property markets in the county. The mix of 1930s semis, post-war housing, and newer builds along the Blaby Road and Welford Road corridors means on-street parking is the norm for most moves. We survey every Wigston move to plan around that and confirm the access at both properties before the day.

Flexible Start Times to Suit Your Move
In Wigston, 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 Wigston Removal Team
We cover Wigston and South Wigston across the LE18 postcode, including the Bull Head Street area, Blaby Road, Welford Road, and the streets off Newton Lane. For moves between Wigston and the Leicester suburbs of Oadby, Knighton, and Evington, we do those regularly. Blaby, Glen Parva, and Countesthorpe are also within our regular area.
South Wigston has some narrower residential streets where access for a full-size vehicle needs planning. We look at both properties at the survey stage and decide whether a different vehicle size is needed for part of the move. Most standard Wigston moves are straightforward, but it is always worth checking in advance.
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 Wigston 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.
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.

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

Yes. We plan Wigston moves around completion and key release times. Start times are discussed and confirmed in advance so there are no surprises on the day.
