Who are Slick Removals?
Slick Removals is a registered (no. 10717337) man and van and removals company based in Leicestershire, serving Oadby, Knighton, Aylestone, Glen Parva, and the wider LE2 area.
Established since 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 the LE2 area?
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?
For all bookings across the LE2 area, our minimum charge is 2 hours — £178 for a 2-man team or £138 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.
What is included in the hourly rate?
Our medium wheelbase Vauxhall Movano fits the residential streets of the LE2 area, 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 house moves across the LE2 area 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 anywhere across the LE2 area, call or WhatsApp us directly on 07934 722569 and we will always do our best to help at short notice.

Job Type: Part-move — larger items only
Highlight: Customer preparation cut job time significantly, bed disassembly included at no extra charge
The customer had done everything right before we arrived. He had already moved the majority of his belongings himself, leaving only the larger, heavier items for us to handle.
This is exactly the kind of preparation that makes an hourly rate work in the customer's favour — the less time we spend on smaller items, the more value you get from the time you pay for.
The main task on this job was the bed, which needed to be fully disassembled before it could be safely moved. We brought all the necessary tools, dismantled the frame efficiently, moved it to the van, and reassembled it at the destination.
Furniture dismantling and reassembly is included in our hourly rate — there is no separate charge for this service.
Because the customer had prepared so well and the inventory was focused, the job was completed quickly. Everything was handled carefully and arrived safely. The final bill reflected the actual time worked — nothing more.
Our man and van service across Oadby and the LE2 area is £59 per hour for a one-man service or £89 per hour for a two-man team, VAT included.
A 2-hour minimum applies to all bookings — £138 for a 1-man service or £178 for a 2-man team. After the minimum, time is billed in 5-minute increments.
No. Basic dismantling and reassembly — such as bed frames, wardrobes, and dining tables — is included in the hourly rate. If you have something particularly complex, let us know when booking.
No. Stairs are included in the hourly rate throughout, whether you are on the ground floor or an upper floor.

Yes — single item collections are one of our most popular services. For sofas, wardrobes, washing machines, and other bulky items, our 1-man service at £59 per hour is ideal where you or someone capable is on site to assist with lifting.
