Moving across the country should feel like the start of an exciting new chapter, not a logistical headache. Our long distance moves in Leicester are carefully planned and professionally delivered, taking your belongings safely from Leicestershire to anywhere in mainland UK.
Trusted Long Distance Moves in Leicester
Relocating to a new part of the country is a significant life event, often tied to a new job, a fresh start, a closer connection to family or simply the pull of a different lifestyle. Whatever the reason behind your move, the journey itself deserves to be handled by a team that understands the unique demands of a longer relocation. From careful pre-move planning to coordinated unloading at your destination, our long distance removals service is designed to take the pressure off your shoulders and put it firmly onto ours.
We have spent more than a decade running long haul jobs out of Leicester, with our team comfortably travelling to destinations across the length and breadth of mainland UK. Whether you are moving from Leicestershire to the south coast, north to Scotland, west to Wales or anywhere in between, we bring the same level of care, planning and professionalism that has earned us a loyal following closer to home.
Perfect Jobs for a Man and Van
Ideal for one-bedroom flats, bedsits and smaller homes where one van and one or two crew members will comfortably handle the job.
Sofas, beds, fridges, washing machines, pianos, desks and other large individual items can all be safely collected and delivered.
We regularly collect from IKEA, Dunelm, John Lewis, Wayfair, Facebook Marketplace, eBay and local independent retailers across Leicester.
Collecting items from, or dropping items off at, self-storage facilities across Leicester and the county is quick, easy and affordable.
A man and van booking is often the most sensible choice when a full removals service would be more than you actually need. Here are some of the most popular reasons people get in touch with us for a quick, friendly lift.

Why Choose Our Long Distance Moves in Leicester
A longer relocation comes with more moving parts than a local job, and choosing the right removals partner makes a real difference to how the day actually unfolds. Booking with a proper long-distance specialist gives you the reassurance of careful logistics, accurate timings and a single team responsible for the entire journey, rather than handovers between subcontractors or unfamiliar drivers.
When you book your long distance moves in Leicester with our team, you benefit from a service that treats every cross-country relocation as a properly planned project. We discuss your timeline early, work around motorway schedules and rest break regulations, and aim to arrive at your destination ready to unload calmly rather than tired and rushed. Pricing starts from £85 per hour with a two-hour minimum booking, and longer journeys are usually quoted as a fixed price for total transparency from the outset.
Who We Are
About Leicester Man with Van
Leicester Man with Van has been a trusted name in local and long-distance removals for more than ten years.

Our team is proudly local, with deep roots in the East Midlands, but our vans regularly make their way to every corner of the country thanks to the trust our customers place in us.
Our approach to long-distance work is refreshingly straightforward. We plan carefully, communicate clearly, drive responsibly and treat every customer’s belongings as though they were our own. The fact that so many of our long-haul bookings come through personal recommendations and repeat customers tells us we are getting the balance right between professional service and genuine friendliness.

- Transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden extras
- Friendly, vetted drivers who are happy to help lift and load
- Same-day and last-minute availability wherever possible
Why Choose us
Why Our Long Distance Removals Stand Out
There is a meaningful difference between a removal company that occasionally takes on long jobs and a team that genuinely specialises in them. Here is what makes our nationwide service worth choosing.
For most long distance moves, we offer a clear fixed price rather than open-ended hourly billing, giving you complete cost certainty before booking.
Our team is happy to help carry, lift and load, rather than simply sitting behind the wheel. Extra hands make every job quicker and easier.
Our vehicles are regularly serviced and equipped with tail lifts, trolleys and secure loading systems suitable for longer trips.
Same day delivery is achievable for many destinations, while longer trips can be split into a clear two-day schedule with overnight secure storage if needed.
Moving Out of Leicester or Into the County
Long distance removals work in both directions. Plenty of our customers are Leicester residents heading off to new opportunities elsewhere in the country, but we also welcome bookings from individuals and families relocating into Leicester from further afield. Whether you are returning home to Leicestershire after years away, taking up a new role at one of the universities or simply drawn to the area’s mix of city life and countryside, our team is happy to collect from your existing property and deliver everything safely to your new address in the county.
For incoming moves, we recommend booking as early as possible, as longer trips need careful coordination around your completion or tenancy date. A quick phone conversation usually gives us enough information to put together an accurate fixed-price quote.
F. A. Q
Frequently Asked Questions
We appreciate that every man and van job raises its own set of questions, so we have gathered together some of the most common queries from our customers below.
Pricing for cross-country relocations depends on the distance involved, the volume of belongings, the size of the van required and any additional services such as packing or furniture dismantling. For most long distance jobs, we provide a fixed price quotation that covers the entire journey, with hourly rates from £85 per hour and a two hour minimum booking available for shorter trips. You shall always receive a clear, itemised quote before confirming your booking.
This depends largely on the distance and the time of year. Many destinations within roughly four to five hours of Leicester can be completed comfortably in a single day, including loading, driving and unloading. For longer journeys, particularly those exceeding six to seven hours of driving time, a two-day schedule is often the safer and more practical option, with overnight secure storage included where needed.
Yes, this is one of the things that genuinely sets our service apart. The same team that loads your belongings in Leicester is the same team that drives them to your new home and unloads them at the other end. There are no subcontractors, no handovers and no unfamiliar faces, which keeps your move consistent and predictable from start to finish.
Absolutely. Goods in transit and public liability insurance cover the full journey from collection to delivery, regardless of how many miles are involved. For high-value items such as artwork, antiques or musical instruments, please mention these at the quotation stage so we can discuss any additional cover that may be appropriate.
Yes, we strongly recommend a full packing service for longer journeys, as proper wrapping and protection make a real difference when items are travelling further. Our team can supply quality materials and handle the entire packing process on your behalf, or simply provide boxes and bubble wrap if you prefer to do it yourself.
For long-haul relocations, we recommend booking at least three to four weeks in advance, particularly during busy periods such as end-of-month weekends, summer holidays and the start of the academic year. Earlier bookings give us the flexibility to plan the most efficient route and lock in a fixed price well ahead of your moving date.
