Removals in Leicester
Leicester's LE postcodes cover the city and much of Leicestershire and Rutland, and several places that feel like Leicester are outside the city council. Here's what to plan for.
Compare removal companies - start with your postcode, then list what you're moving online. Prices can change until you book.
Leicester postcode areas
- LE
The LE postcode area covers Leicester and towns such as Loughborough, Hinckley, Market Harborough, Melton Mowbray and Oakham in Rutland.
Parking for the removal van
Inside the city, ask Leicester City Council. Oadby, Wigston, Birstall and Braunstone Town feel like part of Leicester but are in the county, where the county council looks after roads.
- Leicester City Council: the city of Leicester
- Leicestershire County Council: roads in the rest of Leicestershire, including Oadby, Wigston and Birstall
- Rutland County Council: Oakham, Uppingham and the rest of Rutland
Planning a move in Leicester
City or county?
Your council tax bill tells you which council you're in. It's worth checking before you apply to reserve space for the van.
Terraced streets
Many streets of terraced houses close to the centre have no off-street parking, so the van may stop some distance away. Put the distance in your inventory.

Leicester removals: your questions
Is Oadby part of Leicester City Council?
No. Oadby and Wigston have their own borough council, and Leicestershire County Council looks after the roads there.
How far do LE postcodes go?
Well beyond the city - Loughborough, Hinckley, Market Harborough, Melton Mowbray and Oakham all have LE postcodes.
Do I need a survey visit to get quotes?
Not on MoveFinder. You list your items online and companies quote from that inventory.
