Leicester Removals
Britannia Bradshaw is one of the leading removals and storage companies in Leicester, providing a professional moving service tailored to your needs.
We are a family-run removals company, and pride ourselves on our friendly removal service; making sure we are on hand to assist with every stage of your move, to ensure a smooth and stress-free moving day to your new home, whether you are moving locally or further afield.
If you’re moving within Leicester or the surrounding areas including Hinckley, Loughborough, Nottingham and Mansfield, our team have vast local knowledge, so if the traffic is a nightmare at certain times of the day or there are certain roundabouts that we need to avoid, you can rest assured that we already know where they are and can plan ahead.
We will conduct a pre-move survey with you, so that we know exactly what needs moving, packing, loading and when. We can also ensure that we’re aware of any areas with restricted access and work out a detailed plan for moving day. This means everything is more likely to go off without a hitch and it takes a lot of the stress out of the move for you.
National removal service from Leicestershire & Nottinghamshire
Of course, while we have the local knowledge of Leicester, we manage moves all over the UK, offering a national removal service. Our team of fully trained packers will help to wrap all of your belongings, if required, so that they are safe and secure on a long journey across the UK.
We can also provide you with packing materials, should you wish to pack everything yourself. We have different sized boxes, bubble wrap and that all important parcel tape, so you won’t need to worry about running out of anything.
Our storage facilities in Leicester may come in useful, particularly if you’re heading further afield. We can store large, small, unusual and antique items for you until you need them, while you get settled in.
Professional removals team on hand
Our team is highly trained with many years of experience in removals within Leicester and all over the UK. We’ll work out how many people you need on the day and also provide the relevant vehicles to suit your move. We can bring large trucks if you have a particularly big move, but we also provide smaller vans if you only need to shift a few items or lots of smaller boxes.
The team at Britannia Bradshaw are proud of their work and will be available throughout the move to answer any questions and alleviate any worries you may have. All you need to do is ask.

Moving to Leicester
If you are moving to Leicester from further afield, you will find that this East Midlands city has a lot to offer. After a major facelift and lots of redevelopment, it is now a popular place for shopping and leisure. It has a strong student population due to the two highly ranked universities gracing the city, but this should not put families and the older generations off as there are plenty of quiet residential areas and family-friendly activities.
Where to Live in Leicester
Families looking for a slice of suburbia should investigate Aylestone, Little Stretton, Knighton Fields and Evington. They are popular residential areas rich with period and modern terraces, as well as semidetached and detached homes.
Leicester city centre, in terms of residential opportunities, is mostly made up of redevelopments. Factories, industrial warehouses, churches and office buildings have all been sympathetically converted into stylish flats and apartments, including some luxury penthouses. There are also new-build complexes such as Freemens Meadow.
Days Out in Leicester
By far one of the most popular Saturday endeavours of many in Leicester is a spot of shopping. Highcross is the largest shopping centre and is crammed full of big brand names, restaurants, and even a multi-plex cinema. Haymarket Shopping Centre and Leicester Market are home to independent retailers, boutiques and coffee shops.
A unique experience, Leicester’s National Space Centre is home to the UK’s largest domed planetarium. Visitors can get up close and personal with rockets, space suits and meteorites. The vast rocket tower also houses the Apollo Lunar Lander and chunks of real moon rock.
Leicester is famed as the resting place of Richard III, with his remains laid to rest in Leicester Cathedral after being excavated from a local car park. The cathedral is an incredible place to explore and other historical attractions include Belgrave Hall and gardens, Abbey Pumping Station and Guildhall.
Leicester Transport Links
Leicester is one of the best-connected cities in the UK. The M1 is just west of the city and provides direct access to London in the south and Sheffield and Leeds in the north. The M1 also provides links to other important roads such as the M40, M6 and A1, for routes east and west.
Leicester railway station is located in the city centre and services are operated by East Midlands Trains and CrossCountry. Trains travel to the likes of London St Pancras, Nottingham, Sheffield and Birmingham.
Frequent business flyers will also benefit from being just a 30-minute drive from East Midlands Airport. Flights from the airport are both national and European, as well as a few long-haul flights.
