Who are Slick Removals?
Slick Removals is a registered (no. 10717337) man and van and removals company based in Leicestershire, serving Market Harborough, Great Bowden, Lubenham, Foxton, Husbands Bosworth, and the surrounding LE16 area.
Established in 2017, we handle everything from single items to lightly furnished 4-bedroom houses.
Is Slick Removals well-reviewed and trustworthy?
We are rated 5 stars on Google with over 500 reviews, Trustpilot Rated Excellent with over 250 reviews, and Checkatrade Approved and Vetted 9.9/10 from over 90 verified reviews. Every job is headed by the DBS-checked lead mover.
How much do removals and man and van services cost in Market Harborough?
Our hourly rates are £59/hr for a 1-man service — suitable where you or someone capable is on site to assist with heavy or bulky items — or £89/hr for a 2-man team where we handle all the lifting ourselves. Both rates include VAT.
How does the minimum charge and billing work?
Our minimum charge is 2 hours — £178 for a 2-man team or £118 for a 1-man service.
The clock starts when we arrive at your pickup address and stops when the last item is placed at your destination.
The first 2 hours are your minimum charge — after that, time continues in 5-minute increments so you only pay for the time actually used.
There are no travel fees to get to you, no call-out fees, no stairs charges, and no extra charges for multiple trips.
For long-distance moves outside Leicestershire, please call us for a tailored quote.
What is included in the hourly rate?
Our medium wheelbase Vauxhall Movano fits residential streets, parks on driveways without blocking the road, and loads from the closest safe point to your door.
Every job includes furniture blankets, straps, professional moving equipment, and furniture assembly and disassembly tools — all included in the hourly rate.
Who is this service best suited for?
Our service works best for customers who handle their own packing. We are completely flexible: some prefer to move their smaller items themselves and leave the heavy furniture to us, while others want us to move absolutely everything.
We are well suited to moves up to 4-bedroom houses, provided the groundwork has been done — boxes packed, smaller items ready, and large furniture dismantled beforehand.
If you dismantle beds and wardrobes before we arrive it speeds up the move and keeps your hourly bill down.
If you need us to handle it, just let us know when booking and we will factor it in.
For larger moves — 3 or 4-bedroom houses with multiple wardrobes — we will plan realistically with you upfront. This may mean returning on a second day purely for reassembly, keeping your moving day fast and efficient rather than stretched.
Because we never charge extra for multiple trips, local Market Harborough house moves where we can run efficient shuttle runs between properties are our absolute sweet spot.
How do I book, and do you take last-minute jobs?
To secure your slot in our diary, we take a £50 deposit by bank transfer which is fully deducted from your final bill — non-refundable if you cancel, as we turn away other work to hold your date.
Final payment is due once the last item is in place, before we leave.
If you are in a rush and need an urgent or same-day move in the LE16 area, call or WhatsApp us directly on 07934 722569 and we will always do our best to help at short notice.

The Challenge — Parking
5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review on Google
Non-Standard Items — Ladder and Heavy Ceramic Planters
Parking in Market Harborough can be notoriously difficult for removal vehicles.
The customer managed to reserve a space outside the property using bins, but it was only just large enough for our medium-wheelbase Vauxhall Movano.
A larger 3.5 tonne Luton or 7.5 tonne removal truck would have been forced to park on the opposite side of the road, significantly increasing the carry distance for every item and adding unnecessary time and cost to the job.
Our van's compact footprint allowed us to reverse directly to the threshold

Two items on this job required specialist solutions. The customer had a very long extension ladder which they assumed would need to be left behind — we secured it safely to our external roof bars, eliminating the problem entirely.
A collection of large, heavy ceramic plant pots presented a separate challenge. We used our Wolfcraft TS1500 sack truck, which features a curved backplate designed for round objects, allowing us to move the heavy planters without risk of breakage or injury.

A Well-Prepared Customer on a 3-Storey Move
The customer had dismantled all furniture and moved items to the ground floor in advance — a significant factor in keeping a 3-storey move running efficiently.
This level of preparation allowed us to focus entirely on the high-skill aspects of the job: secure stacking, technical maneuvering, and efficient loading. Everything arrived safely with no damage.
