Slick Removals charges £59 per hour for a one-man service, suited to man and van collections, single items, and small moves with no heavy furniture. The two-man team is £89 per hour, suited to house moves and bulky furniture. Both rates are inclusive of VAT, apply within Thurmaston and Birstall, and carry a 2-hour minimum on every booking. The rate includes a fully equipped van and professional moving equipment, with no hidden fees or stairs charges. The hourly clock starts on arrival and stops once unloading is complete, with multiple trips included at no extra cost.
A £50 deposit via bank transfer, deducted from the final total, secures your booking. Call or WhatsApp Slick Removals on 07934 722569, or use the contact form below, to book a man and van or house move in Thurmaston and Birstall.
Slick Removals uses a medium-wheelbase Vauxhall Movano, chosen for its compact footprint and metal high-top roof. On Thurmaston and Birstall's terraced streets and tighter estate roads, that means parking close to the property first time, rather than circling for a space or having to keep moving for passing traffic — both of which cost time on an hourly rate. The metal roof also means low-hanging branches and tight overhangs aren't a risk the way they are for larger vans with plastic roofs. To load quickly once parked, Slick Removals uses a Tow Trust Prostep and a Milenco Giant Step stool to get furniture in and out, avoiding the slow cycle of raising and lowering a tail lift on every item.
Slick Removals' rear doors open and close easily, unlike the cumbersome roller doors on a Luton van — useful for keeping the van secured while loading in and out repeatedly. A side door is also available where access is better from that angle than the rear.
Slick Removals doesn't cut corners on kit, and the process is continually refined to save time on site. The team uses a Magliner hand truck with stair sliders for everyday loads and stairs, and an Evo Super piano skate for heavy items like pianos, washing machines, and large furniture. Inside the van, extra lashing points and heavy-duty cam straps and bungee cords keep everything secure in transit. The load area has LED lighting for clear visibility on early starts or dark evenings, and the van is fitted with roof bars for longer items such as ladders. All equipment is included in the hourly rate at no extra charge
Slick Removals offers a full packing service charged at the standard hourly rate, ideal for small to medium moves where there isn't time to pack everything yourself. The property is assessed before booking to give an honest time estimate — packing time depends more on kitchen contents than bedroom count, since a well-stocked kitchen alone can take as long as the rest of the house to pack safely.
Boxes used during a booked packing service are charged at standard prices, with tape and filler paper added at 10% of the box cost — no minimum order applies, since materials are supplied as part of the job.
Slick Removals also sells double-wall, FSC-certified moving boxes for standalone purchase: £3.25 for 18"x12"x12", £5.50 for 18"x18"x18", and £17.00 for a wardrobe box with hanging rail. Standalone box orders have a £100 minimum, mix and match any combination, with collection from South Wigston only.
Slick Removals helps you declutter ahead of a move, clearing items you don't want to take with you so packing and loading go faster on the day.
The team also removes moving boxes and packaging once you're settled in, so there's no clear-up left for you to deal with.
Slick Removals also offers furniture disposal services to get rid of bulky items such as sofas, beds, and wardrobes, taken away and disposed of through licensed facilities.
House clearance is also available for properties being prepared for sale in Thurmaston and Birstall, protecting the property from damage throughout so it stays pristine for viewings and buyers.

Slick Removals is based in South Wigston LE18, on the south side of Leicester, and reaches Thurmaston and Birstall via the A563 outer ring road — avoiding city centre traffic on the way to every job. Birstall sits on the A6, with its older core around Front Street and Wanlip Lane. Thurmaston lies along the A607 (Melton Road, the old Roman Fosse Way), split by the newer bypass into an older village core to the west and newer residential streets to the east. The two towns face Watermead Country Park across the River Soar, and the Sainsbury's at the Watermead Way/Troon Way crossroads is a well-known local landmark on the Thurmaston side.
Slick Removals covers all of Thurmaston and Birstall LE4, plus neighbouring Syston, Rushey Mead, and Beaumont Leys, along with the rest of Leicester and Leicestershire. Slick Removals also handles long-distance moves from Thurmaston and Birstall to London, Manchester, Birmingham, and other UK cities.
