Road Sweepers in Leicestershire – Professional Sweeping Services for a County That Never Stops Moving
Leicestershire sits at the heart of the Midlands, supporting some of the UK’s busiest logistics corridors, large-scale housing developments, major industrial estates, and expanding commercial centres. With constant HGV movement, ongoing construction, and heavy commuter traffic, the condition of roads, access routes, and surrounding environments directly affects safety, compliance, and professional reputation.
From Leicester, Loughborough, Hinckley, Coalville, Market Harborough, Melton Mowbray, Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Shepshed to surrounding towns and villages, demand for reliable, professional road sweeping is consistent throughout the year.
At Yorks Sweeper Hire, we provide dependable, high-quality Road Sweepers in Leicestershire, supporting highways contractors, developers, commercial operators, and industrial clients who require consistent standards, responsive service, and reliable regional coverage.
Our fleet operates daily throughout Leicestershire and regularly across neighbouring counties including Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Staffordshire and Lincolnshire.
Supporting Growth and Infrastructure Across Leicestershire
Leicestershire continues to experience significant development pressure driven by:

Our experience working across live construction sites, logistics hubs, urban centres, rural networks and strategic transport corridors allows us to adapt our service to the specific pressures of each environment.
