Flat Removals
Flat Removals Ealing
At Ealing Movers, we specialise in straightforward, carefully planned flat removals in Ealing and the surrounding areas. Whether you are leaving a studio, a top-floor apartment or a large maisonette, we make moving out of a flat safe, organised and as stress-free as possible.
Expert Flat Removals in Ealing
Flat moves come with their own challenges: tight stairwells, small lifts, parking restrictions and building management rules. As local Ealing specialists, we deal with these every day. Our team plans access routes, protects communal areas and coordinates timings to keep your neighbours and managing agents happy.
All work is carried out by our own trained, uniformed and professional movers. Your belongings are protected by industry-standard wrapping, and your move is backed by goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for added peace of mind.
Who Our Flat Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you own a flat in Ealing and are upsizing, downsizing or relocating, we manage the whole removal, including careful handling of higher-value items such as artwork, glass furniture and electronics.
Renters
Tenants often face strict check-out standards. We protect walls, doors and lifts so you avoid damage charges, and we can work around inventory inspections and key handover times.
Landlords
For landlords needing a flat cleared between tenancies, we offer part removals, end-of-tenancy clearances and furniture moves, all carried out respectfully within building rules.
Businesses
Many small businesses operate from flats or serviced apartments. We provide small office and studio removals, including desks, IT equipment and stock, with minimal downtime.
Students
Students in and around Ealing benefit from our student flat removals and term-time moves – ideal for small loads, shared flats and halls of residence, with options for short-term storage if needed.

Our Step-by-Step Flat Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact Ealing Movers with your moving details: current and new addresses, flat size, access information and preferred dates. We provide an initial estimate and explain your options, from a simple load-and-move to a fully managed service including packing.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most flat removals we arrange a survey, either via video call or an onsite visit. We assess the volume of belongings, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any special items needing extra care. This allows us to give you a clear, fixed-price quote and plan the right size vehicle and team.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day (or the day before for larger moves) our trained team can provide a professional packing service, using strong boxes, wrapping and protective covers. If you prefer to pack yourself, we can supply quality packing materials and offer guidance so your items are ready for loading.
4. Loading & Transport
We protect communal areas, lifts and staircases before any items are moved. Furniture is wrapped, mattresses are bagged, and fragile items are carefully padded. Everything is loaded methodically onto our vehicles, secured for transport, and moved efficiently to your new home in Ealing or beyond.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload, place furniture in the rooms you specify and position boxes where they are easiest for you to unpack. If agreed in advance, we can also reassemble beds and other furniture. Before we leave, we check that everything is where you want it and remove our packing debris.
Transparent, Fair Pricing for Flat Removals
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Costs are based on:
- Volume of items and size of your flat
- Access difficulty (stairs, lifts, long carries)
- Distance between addresses
- Services required (packing, dismantling, reassembly, storage)
- Day and time of the move (weekdays, weekends, evenings)
Once we have completed your survey, we provide a written quotation detailing exactly what is included. If your requirements change, we update this transparently before moving day so you always know where you stand.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
DIY moves or casual man-and-van options can appear cheaper, but they often lead to damage, delays and stress. With Ealing Movers you get:
- Fully insured vehicles and cover for your belongings
- Trained staff who know how to move heavy and awkward items safely
- Correct equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps and protective covers
- Reliable timekeeping and realistic scheduling
- Proper planning for parking, access and building rules
This reduces the risk of injuries, damage to your flat or furniture, and last-minute cancellations that can be disastrous on moving day.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your belongings and your building are fully protected when you move with us:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being moved in our vehicles.
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to property or third parties.
- Trained moving teams – all staff are instructed in safe lifting, packing techniques and protection of property.
We follow recognised removals best practice and keep clear records of your move, including inventories when required, for your assurance.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every flat move as if it were our own home. Floors, doors and lifts are protected before we start. Fragile items are individually wrapped, and furniture is covered to avoid scuffs and marks.
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Wherever possible we use reusable protective materials, encourage the return or reuse of boxes and plan efficient routes to minimise unnecessary mileage. When you are clearing out unwanted items, we can recommend responsible recycling and donation options in and around Ealing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a flat removal in Ealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of your flat, the volume of belongings, access conditions and the distance you are moving. As a rough guide, a small studio move within Ealing will usually be considerably less than a full two-bedroom flat removal with packing. After a short consultation and survey, we provide a clear, fixed-price quotation with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what you will pay before you book.
Can you handle same-day or urgent flat removals?
Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice flat removals in Ealing, especially outside peak times. Availability depends on our existing bookings and the size of your move. For urgent jobs, we streamline the survey process – sometimes using photos or video – and focus on essential services to get you moved safely and on time. Contact us as soon as possible, and we will let you know what we can offer and provide a rapid quote.
What insurance cover do you provide for my move?
Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care and travelling in our vehicles. We also hold public liability cover for your protection in the rare event of accidental damage to buildings or third parties. During your quotation, we explain the key points of our cover and any limits that may apply. If you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss this in advance so that everything is appropriately protected.
What is included in your flat removals service?
Our standard flat removals service covers the safe loading, transport and unloading of your boxed belongings and furniture between addresses. We protect furniture and key surfaces, place items in the rooms you request and work to the schedule agreed. You can add optional services such as professional packing, furniture dismantling and reassembly, storage and supply of packing materials. Your written quote will set out exactly what is included so there is no confusion on moving day.
How is a professional removal different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service may move items from A to B, but often without formal training, full insurance or proper planning. As a professional removals company, we provide experienced, trained teams, appropriate equipment and fully insured vehicles. We survey your flat, plan access, protect your belongings and building, and give you a written quote and booking confirmation. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute cancellations, and gives you a reliable, accountable service.
How far in advance should I book my flat removal?
Ideally, you should book your flat removal in Ealing 2–4 weeks in advance, particularly if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end or during summer when demand is highest. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change at short notice. If you contact us early, we can pencil in provisional dates and adjust them as your situation becomes clearer. We will always do our best to accommodate late bookings where our schedule allows.
