Regardless of whether a deposit is taken, we kindly ask that you inform us of any changes to your booking as soon as possible.
For your convenience, payment is collected upon completion of the job.
Our company maintains Public Liability insurance, which is in place to address significant damages to premises or injury to persons.
We do not offer individual item insurance due to the complexities involved in creating a pre-move inventory and valuation.
Please be assured that our team is dedicated to handling all items with the utmost diligence and care to minimize any risk of damage.
To ensure a smooth and efficient move, please have the following information ready when you book:
* Full collection and delivery addresses
* Your preferred start time for the move
* Details about parking and access at both locations (e.g., permit requirements, stairs, narrow doorways)
* Information about any exceptionally large, heavy, fragile or expensive items being moved.
Once our team arrives at the agreed time, our hourly rates will commence.
This applies even if there are delays from the customer's end, such as not having acquired the keys to the new property.
In such situations, we will utilize the waiting time to efficiently load the van, organize remaining items, and position them for quicker loading in subsequent trips, ensuring we make the best use of the time while we await access.
* Safety First: If feasible, please ensure children and pets are in a safe and separate area during the main moving activities. This minimizes potential accidents and allows our team to work efficiently.
* Cost-Effective Organization: If you're mindful of the cost, having your items organized and staged near the main exit points will significantly speed up the loading process, potentially reducing the overall time and expense of your move.
* Secure Packing: If you have packed your own boxes, please ensure they are securely taped shut. This is essential for safe stacking in the van and prevents damage to your belongings.
While packing services aren't a standard part of our offering, we do provide them for small to medium-sized moves.
Our packing service includes all necessary materials (boxes, filling, tape) at a rate of £17 per box, in addition to our regular hourly moving charges which apply while we are packing.
This applies to standard square moving boxes.
We offer straightforward to medium-level furniture assembly and disassembly services, including items like beds and wardrobes.
Our team comes equipped with a variety of tools for this purpose, and our standard hourly rates apply during these tasks.
Please note that due to the potential for issues with the reassembly of older furniture, we cannot accept liability for problems that may arise.
For your move, we utilize a medium wheelbase Vauxhall Movano van, offering significant advantages. Its low loading height and dual access (side sliding door and rear doors) ensure easy and efficient loading and unloading.
The van's manageable size allows us to navigate and park in tighter spaces and on driveways without causing significant road obstruction, saving valuable time searching for parking.
Equipped with custom lashing points and roof bars, your belongings are secured safely during transit.
Unlike larger vans with barn doors, our Movano's rear doors are easy to open and close quickly, providing added security for your items, especially in busier areas.
Whether you're moving from a smaller flat or a medium-sized house in the Leicester area, we'll manage the logistics efficiently.
While smaller moves often fit in one load, larger ones may require multiple journeys. The good news? Our straightforward hourly pricing for local moves already includes multiple trips within the county, giving you peace of mind and predictable costs.
To ensure your belongings are moved safely, efficiently, and with care, we utilize professional-grade equipment like the Wolfcraft TS 1500 sack truck.
This isn't just any trolley; it's chosen for specific features that benefit your move:
* High Load Capacity (Up to 200kg): Built with a robust frame and a large loading surface, this sack truck allows us to securely handle heavy and bulky items like washing machines, fridge-freezers, furniture, and boxes weighing up to 200kg (approx. 31 stone). This reduces the need for manual carrying of very heavy loads, increasing safety and efficiency.
* Space-Saving Folding Design: The TS 1500 features a clever rapid-folding mechanism. This means it takes up minimal room in our van when not in use, maximizing the dedicated space available for your possessions during transit.
* Safe Stair Navigation: We have equipped our TS 1500 with its optional stair skid bar accessory. This crucial addition allows our team to carefully manoeuvre heavy items up and down stairs with greater control and stability, significantly reducing the risk to your items and property.
* Ergonomic Handling & Stability: Features like its adjustable telescopic handle with an ergonomic grip and large, sturdy wheels ensure our team can move your items securely and smoothly, even over thresholds or slightly uneven ground.
By using reliable equipment like the Wolfcraft TS 1500, we provide a safer, more efficient service for moving your heavy goods, especially when stairs are involved.
We understand the importance of protecting your belongings during a move in the Leicester area. That's why our van is equipped with professional-grade dollies and skates specifically chosen for safety and efficiency:
* Handy Compact Dolly: For efficiently moving boxes or smaller furniture items, we keep a standard, easy-access dolly ready to go.
* Heavy-Duty Evo Super Piano Skate: When it comes to your largest, heaviest, or most delicate items – think pianos, American fridge-freezers, large sofas, or solid wood wardrobes – we utilize Evo’s top-of-the-range Super Piano Skate. This specialist piece of equipment offers superior protection, flexibility, and handling:
* Incredible 900kg Load Capacity: This robust skate is rated to safely support extreme weights up to 900kg, ensuring even the most substantial household items are moved securely.
* Advanced 200mm Elastic Wheels: It features versatile, strong 200mm (approx. 8-inch) elastic wheels. These high-quality wheels are non-marking to protect your floors. For maximum flexibility and precise control during manoeuvres, they can be locked into either uni-directional (straight-line) or full swivel mode.
* Enhanced Protection: A moulded rubber bumper strip around the edge helps prevent scuffs to the skate, your walls, and your furniture. This, combined with generous ground clearance inherent in the design, lifts your items safely over thresholds and potential obstacles.
* Versatile Application: While ideal for shifting pianos safely, its strength and features make it perfect for moving all kinds of heavy, bulky loads efficiently and carefully.

Haji and a young man helped with our move. They were professional and worked very hard to ensure that the whole process went smoothly.
They had to move a fairly heavy piano and a desk and did it without any complaint. The cost was also very reasonable and I will have no hesitation recommending the company to any prospective clients.

The two guys were on time, really friendly, careful and respectful. The price was good and I would definitely use them again if I need a moving service, big or small.

Haji from Slick Removals was absolutely first class; excellent service, friendly, respectful, efficient, careful, on time, skilled, cost friendly, polite, accommodating. I would highly recommend Slick Removals. Haji helped us move house, we hired him to move all our main furniture and garden plants. As we were staying local he did a few runs from one house to the other. Very cautious with soft furnishings, taped appliances. Every trip the van was loaded in a way that protected furniture. Van was clean. I will definitely contact Haji again if I need anything transported.
