What makes us Leicester's trusted removal company
Leicester is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the UK, and that shows in the range of homes we move here — Victorian terraces around Clarendon Park, purpose-built student blocks near the two universities, and detached family houses out towards Oadby and Birstall. RayMovals built its name on treating every one of those moves to the same standard: trained movers, full insurance, and a price agreed before we arrive rather than negotiated on the day. We're not the biggest name in Leicester removals, and we don't try to be — we'd rather be the company your neighbour recommends because we turned up when we said we would and didn't add a penny to the quote.
Local moving expertise in Leicester
Leicester's Clean Air Zone covers the ring road and city centre, and our fleet is fully compliant, so there's no surprise charge whether you're moving out of a flat on the Golden Mile or into a new-build near Highcross. The one-way system around the Haymarket and St Margaret's can catch out anyone unfamiliar with it, and student turnover around De Montfort and the University of Leicester means late August and September are our busiest weeks in the LE1 and LE2 postcodes — we plan crews around it well in advance. Whether it's a two-bed terrace in Clarendon Park with no front parking or a family home in Oadby with a long driveway, we've quoted and moved enough of them to know what each one actually needs.
Our services in Leicester, in detail
Residential removals
Our house removals in Leicester run from single-room student moves to full family relocations across the city and into Leicestershire. We assess access before quoting — narrow terraced streets in Clarendon Park and Highfields, tighter turning circles in the older parts of the city, and the driveways and garages of the larger houses in Oadby and Birstall. Furniture is wrapped and protected as standard, beds and wardrobes are dismantled and rebuilt where needed, and we load methodically so unpacking at your new Leicester address is straightforward rather than a guessing game. Weekend and same-day slots are kept available for the city's busy student and family moving seasons, always on a fixed price agreed up front.
Commercial & office removals
We handle office and commercial removals across Leicester's business districts, from independent studios near the Cultural Quarter to larger office relocations in the city centre and business parks towards Grove Park and Meridian. Desks, IT equipment, filing systems and reception furniture are moved with the same insurance cover and careful handling as a house move, and we can schedule outside normal hours to avoid disrupting your working week. We've cleared and relocated retail units on the Golden Mile and offices near the station, coordinating access with landlords and building managers so there's no gap in your business operations.
Professional packing services
A rushed pack is the most common reason a Leicester move goes wrong, so we make it easy to get right. Free crates and wardrobe boxes are delivered ahead of your move date, and our team can pack an entire home professionally — room by room, fragile items individually wrapped, kitchens boxed so nothing rattles on the journey. If you'd rather handle the everyday boxes yourself and leave the awkward stuff to us, partial packing is available too: hand over the kitchen, the loft or the garage and we'll take care of the rest, whatever fits your time and budget best.
Furniture dismantling & reassembly
Beds, wardrobes and flat-pack furniture are dismantled by our team before loading and rebuilt at your new Leicester home, included as standard on every house removal — no extra charge, no separate booking. It matters more here than in most cities: Leicester's Victorian terraces around Clarendon Park and Highfields often have narrow staircases and tight doorways that a fully assembled wardrobe simply won't pass through. We bring the tools, the padding and the patience to take furniture apart properly and put it back together exactly as it was.
Long-distance removals
Leicester sits just off the M1, roughly an hour from our Bedfordshire base, which makes long-distance moves to London, Hertfordshire and the South East straightforward and predictably priced. Rather than charging by the hour for a job that depends entirely on motorway traffic, we quote long-distance Leicester removals as a single fixed price for the whole journey. One van, one crew, door to door — your belongings aren't transferred between vehicles or held overnight in a depot, and you know the total cost before you book.
Storage solutions
If your Leicester move date and your new home's completion date don't line up, we offer secure, fully insured storage to bridge the gap — from a single room's worth of furniture to a full house. Everything is wrapped, labelled and inventoried before it goes into storage, and we deliver it on to your new address, in Leicester or further afield, whenever you're ready. It's booked as part of your removal rather than a separate arrangement with a different company.
Areas surrounding Leicester we cover
Beyond the city itself, we regularly cover Oadby, Birstall, Wigston, Glenfield, Syston and the villages around Leicester's ring road, as well as the Golden Mile, Clarendon Park, Highfields and Evington. We're also a natural choice for anyone moving between Leicester and neighbouring Northampton, Birmingham, Nottingham or Coventry, and it's a well-travelled route back to our Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire base for movers heading towards London. If you're just outside the postcodes listed here, get in touch — Leicestershire coverage extends well beyond the city boundary.

Is my Leicester removal affected by the Clean Air Zone?
No — every RayMovals vehicle is Clean Air Zone compliant, so moving within or through Leicester's zone doesn't add any charge or restriction to your booking.

Do you move students in and out of Leicester's universities?
Yes — we're well used to the end-of-tenancy rush around De Montfort and the University of Leicester in June and September, and we keep extra capacity free during peak student moving weeks.
