Removals Hinckley jobs run from our depot at Long March Industrial Estate in Daventry, about 25 miles away up the A5. We are a family-run removals and haulage firm, and the person who surveys your move is part of the crew that carries it out. You are dealing with a person and not a job title.
Hinckley grew on hosiery and knitwear, and you can see it in the terraced streets and converted factories around the centre. Burbage, Barwell and Earl Shilton add family estates, and the M69 and A5 link the town to Leicester, Coventry and the wider Midlands.
This page covers house moves, office moves, packing, piano moves and storage for Hinckley and the villages around it. Hinckley is a market town in south-west Leicestershire, between Leicester and Coventry and close to the Warwickshire border. Alltranz is a family-run removals and haulage operator based on Long March Industrial Estate in Daventry, Northamptonshire.
Much of central Hinckley was built for the hosiery trade. Victorian terraces run off the town centre around Druid Street and Upper Bond Street, and several old factory buildings are now flats. Terraces usually mean a front door onto the pavement and a tight stair. Converted mills mean shared entrances, small lifts and a walk from the van to the door. We size the crew for the carry, not just the amount of furniture.
Hollycroft, north west of the centre near Hollycroft Park, has larger Victorian and Edwardian houses with more rooms and heavier furniture. Burbage, to the south east, has an older village core with estates built from the 1960s onwards. Barwell and Earl Shilton, to the north, have terraces from their shoe-making days and newer estates on the edges.
Further out, villages such as Stoke Golding, Market Bosworth and Higham on the Hill have cottages and detached homes on narrower lanes. A smaller vehicle is often the better choice there.
We load room by room and label everything, so the unload at the other end is quick.
Our depot is about 25 miles from Hinckley. The usual route is the A5 north from junction 18 of the M1, past Magna Park, and it takes around 40 minutes in normal traffic. This stretch of the A5 is the old Roman Watling Street and marks the county boundary with Warwickshire. Traffic near Magna Park and at the M69 junction can add time, so we allow for it on early starts.
Most business moves in Hinckley are on its industrial estates, such as Dodwells Road and Harrowbrook, and on Sketchley Lane in Burbage, with offices and shops in the town centre too. The M69 and A5 are on the doorstep, so there is a lot of warehousing and logistics work in the area.
We plan business moves around your trading hours, with early starts, evening loading or a phased move if you need to keep working. As a haulage operator, we are used to racking, IT equipment, filing and heavier loads.
We offer a full packing service or a fragile-only pack, done by our own crews. If you would rather pack yourself, boxes, paper, bubble wrap and tape are sold at the trade counter at our Daventry depot.
We move upright and grand pianos. In Hinckley’s terraces the front door often opens straight onto a narrow hall or stair, so we measure the route in and out at the survey and bring the right equipment.
Alltranz is a haulage operator as well as a removals firm. We are Road Haulage Association members, hold an International CPC and a Waste Carriers Licence, are Move Assured accredited and are members of the Northamptonshire Chamber of Commerce. Most removal firms quoting in Hinckley do not hold these haulage credentials. Every vehicle in our fleet runs satnav, trackers and dash cams.
Nuneaton is about 5 miles west, Leicester about 13 miles north east, Coventry about 13 miles south west, Lutterworth about 10 miles south east and Rugby about 15 miles south.

Yes. Most of Castle Street is pedestrianised, so the van usually loads from a rear yard or a side street. We check the loading point and the internal stair at the survey and plan the carry from there. If there is no rear access, we allow extra time and crew.
If you live on a terraced street with no driveway, it is worth applying. Without one, the van may have to park further away, which adds time to the carry. The council needs notice, so apply as soon as you have a date and tell us at the survey.
About 40 minutes from our Daventry depot via the A5. For an early start, we leave in time to get ahead of traffic around Magna Park and the M69 junction.
Yes. Both are about 13 miles away, Leicester along the A47 and Coventry via the M69. You get one written quote covering collection, transport and delivery.
We can load your belongings into a container at our Daventry depot on moving day and deliver them when your new home is ready. Storage is containerised, on a staffed site, with visits by appointment.
Four to six weeks gives you the most choice. Month ends and school holidays go first. If your date is close, ring 01327 876007 rather than using the form, so we can check the diary straight away.
No. Our crews come from our depot in Daventry, about 25 miles away. Our containerised storage, trade counter and fleet are all based there.
