Removal van sizes & what fits (home & office moves)
For removals, the “right van” is mainly about overall volume — furniture + appliances + box count — rather than one or two items. Use this guide as a starting point, then list your key items and access details for the most accurate quote.
Shortcut: If you’re moving a full 1–2 bed flat, a large/LWB or Luton is often the safest starting point. If it’s just a room’s worth of items, a small or medium van may be enough.
| Van size | Typical removals use | Approx. box guide* | Typical contents |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small van | Room move / bedsit with minimal contents | ~10–15 medium boxes | Clothes, bags, a few boxes, and a small number of smaller furniture items. Best if you’re moving light and don’t have bulky pieces. |
| MWB (medium) van | Studio / light 1-bed flat | ~15–25 medium boxes | Bed (often dismantled), small sofa, drawers, TV, and boxed kitchen items. A good fit for compact moves with some furniture. |
| LWB (large) van | 1-bed flat / larger studio / partial 2-bed | ~25–40 medium boxes | Bed, sofa, table, wardrobe, appliances, plus boxes. Ideal when you want more breathing room and fewer compromises on packing. |
| 3.5T Luton van | 2-bed flat / 2–3 bed home (volume-dependent) | ~45–70 medium boxes | Multiple large furniture items (sofas, wardrobes, dining set), appliances and a full set of boxes. The tall box body is well suited to larger removals loads and bulky furniture. |
*Box counts are indicative. Capacity depends on item dimensions, how furniture is dismantled, packing materials used, and how items can be stacked safely. Listing your key items in the quote form will give you the best match.
How to choose the right size (and avoid an extra trip)
- Count boxes realistically: include loft/garage/storage items and anything in cupboards.
- Bulky items reduce capacity fast: wardrobes, mattresses, large sofas, bikes, gym equipment and white goods.
- Dismantling helps: taking beds/wardrobes apart can make loading safer and more space-efficient.
- If you’re “between sizes”, size up: it’s usually cheaper than running out of space on moving day.
- For very full 3-bed+ homes or heavy/bulky contents, you may need more time, more helpers, or multiple trips depending on volume and access.

Leicester Move Planning Essentials
Leicester's mix of historic areas and modern developments creates specific moving challenges that require local expertise. Our locally based partners understand these requirements and plan accordingly. Leicester-Specific Moving Considerations:- Traffic Timing: Plan moves between 10 AM–2 PM to avoid peak congestion on A594 Central Ring Road and busy routes like Welford Road and Narborough Road
- University Schedules: Student move-ins near De Montfort University and University of Leicester peak in late September and early January—van availability can be limited
- Permit Planning: Leicester City Council typically needs 5–10 working days for parking suspension applications, especially for LE1 and surrounding inner-city zones
- Property Access: Areas like Highfields, Evington, and Clarendon Park have rear-only or narrow alleyway access requiring careful planning
- Event Awareness: Festivals and Diwali celebrations along the Golden Mile often bring road closures and parking restrictions

What is the average cost of removals in Leicester?

How far in advance should I book a removal van?
Although we do recommend you book in advance for a flat or house removal for your peace of mind, removal services are all about speed and flexibility. Our network of providers means that we can often do same-day moves for a similar price as if you’d booked in advance.
In contrast, most traditional removal companies recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance to secure your moving date and allow time for surveys, logistics planning and resource allocation.
