approx. 40 miles — usually 45 minutes via A5 and M69. We cover this route regularly — experienced long-distance crew, early starts, fully insured throughout.
Leicester is 40 miles from Burntwood — a straightforward run via the A5 to Hinckley and then the M69 into the city. We cover Leicester regularly, both for moves from the city to Staffordshire and for Staffordshire customers relocating to Leicester.
Leicester is a genuinely diverse and growing city — one of the most ethnically diverse in the UK — with a strong property market particularly in the inner suburbs and the LE2, LE3 and LE5 postcodes. The university area around Victoria Park is a busy student corridor for moves, the Golden Mile on Belgrave Road is a culturally vibrant area, and suburbs like Oadby, Wigston and Glen Parva are popular with families.
The city centre itself has a series of one-way streets and loading restrictions that need to be checked before any delivery. We always plan the route in and confirm parking arrangements before the move day. The outer ring of Leicester — Oadby, Blaby, Market Harborough corridor — is much more straightforward with good road widths and manageable parking.
Leicester is well connected via the M1 (J21/J21A) and M69, both of which we use depending on the delivery postcode. For moves that don't need motorway speed, the A5 through Hinckley is a pleasant alternative.
