Sunday Man & Van Move – Aylestone to Blaby Apartment
Leicester Moving Company carried out a Sunday Man & Van move for a customer whose mother was relocating from a house in Aylestone, where she had lived for 65 years, to a new apartment in Blaby. With keys already available at the new property, our team was able to complete the full service – loading, travel and unloading – within a 2-hour window. Despite the hard-to-access apartment, extended walking distance and reliance on lifts, the move was handled smoothly. The customer was extremely happy with the experience and left a 5-star Google review highlighting our communication, attitude and service.

Brief
A Sunday morning Man & Van job moving a customer’s mother from a long-term family home in Aylestone to a hard-to-access apartment in Blaby. Completed in 2 hours including load, travel and unload, with an extended long walk and lift access at the new property. The customer left a detailed 5-star review praising communication and service.
What We Did
What We Did
We provided a two-man Man & Van service on a Sunday morning to move the customer’s mother from her long-term home in Aylestone to a new apartment in Blaby. Our team carefully loaded all agreed items from the house, ensuring furniture and belongings were handled with care and organised efficiently in the van. Because the customer already had keys to the new property, we were able to drive straight to the apartment and begin unloading without any waiting time. On arrival in Blaby, we used the building’s lifts and managed an extended walking route from the van to the apartment, taking the time to place items in the correct rooms as directed. The full job – including loading, travel and unloading – was completed within 2 hours.
Challenges & Solutions
What We Did
The main challenge on this move was the access at the new apartment in Blaby. The building required a longer walk from the parking area to the entrance, combined with lift use to reach the correct floor. This meant every load needed careful planning to remain efficient while still protecting the customer’s belongings and respecting the building’s communal areas. In addition, moving a customer out of a home they had lived in for 65 years required a patient, considerate approach, ensuring the process felt calm and well-managed for the family.
Outcome
What We Did
Despite the hard-to-access apartment and extended walking route, the move was completed within the planned 2-hour window, with no overtime or additional costs. All items were safely transported from the Aylestone house to the Blaby apartment and placed where the family requested. The customer was very pleased with the service, praised the team’s communication and willingness to work on a Sunday, and has already mentioned using Leicester Moving Company again for future furniture moves.

Review
“We had this company to move my mother out of a house she'd lived in for 65 years not only did they come on a Sunday morning and moved everything to a hard to access apartment that was difficult for them. Their communication was second to none.
Will definitely be using them again to move some other furniture to another property.
Great lads and a great service.
Thank you.”
