Local Expertise in Ealing
Working day in, day out in Ealing means we understand the borough’s particular challenges. From CPZ parking restrictions and permits to narrow residential roads and busy high streets, we plan your move around local conditions.
We regularly carry out moves in areas such as Ealing Broadway, Northfields, South Ealing, Hanwell, West Ealing, Acton and beyond. Our drivers and move coordinators factor in traffic patterns, loading bays and building access so that your move runs smoothly and avoids unnecessary delays.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Your move starts with a straightforward conversation. You can contact us by phone, email or our online form with your addresses, dates and a rough idea of what needs moving. We will ask a few questions about access, parking and property size, then provide an initial estimate or arrange a survey for a more accurate fixed quote.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
To ensure we send the right crew and vehicle, we usually carry out a free survey. This can be a virtual video tour or an onsite visit. We assess volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking), any fragile or bulky items, and note any special requirements. Based on this, we issue a clear written quotation outlining what is included.
3. Packing & Preparation
Before move day, you can choose between:
- Full packing service – our team carefully packs all items using quality boxes and materials.
- Fragile-only packing – we pack glass, china, artwork and delicate items; you pack the rest.
- Self-packing – we supply packing materials if required and you pack at your own pace.
We label boxes clearly by room and contents to make unloading and unpacking more efficient.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and key areas, and then loads your belongings in a logical order. Furniture is wrapped or blanketed, and fragile items are secured to minimise movement in transit. We use suitably sized vehicles, load to professional standards and travel via sensible, well-planned routes.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new home, we unload systematically, placing boxes and furniture in the rooms you request. Items we dismantled are reassembled where agreed, and we position furniture as best we can according to your instructions. Before we leave, we carry out a quick walk-through with you to check everything has been unloaded and is in the right place.
Transparent Pricing for House Removals
We price house removals fairly and transparently based on:
- Property size and volume of belongings
- Distance between addresses
- Access and parking conditions at both ends
- Level of service – packing, dismantling, evening or weekend moves
Your written quotation will clearly state what is included, any optional extras and how long the move is expected to take. There are no hidden charges: any potential additional costs (for example, unexpected waiting for keys beyond a reasonable period) are explained in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Moving home yourself or using a casual man-and-van can seem cheaper, but often ends up costing more in time, stress and potential damage. Our professional teams are trained to move heavy and fragile items safely, use the right equipment and follow proven methods. This reduces the risk of injury to you and your belongings.
With Ealing Movers you benefit from proper planning, reliable timings, goods in transit insurance and public liability cover. A man-and-van operator may not offer the same level of protection or consistency, and you can be left carrying, packing and problem-solving on your own.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and emotionally. We protect them with:
- Goods in transit insurance for your items while they are being transported
- Public liability cover for damage or incidents at properties we attend
- Trained moving teams who follow established handling and lifting practices
We work to professional standards, using suitable vehicles, protective equipment and packing materials. Our crews are briefed before every job and follow a checklist to ensure no key steps are missed. If something unexpected does happen, we have clear procedures to resolve it promptly and fairly.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
From first box to final piece of furniture, we treat your belongings with care. We use clean moving blankets, mattress and sofa protectors, and where required, floor and banister protection. Fragile items are wrapped and secured; heavier pieces are handled with proper lifting techniques and equipment.
We also consider the environmental impact of our work. Wherever practical, we reuse strong cardboard boxes, minimise unnecessary journeys by careful route planning, and offer to collect reusable packing materials after your move. When we need to dispose of waste, we use licensed facilities and avoid fly-tipping or irresponsible dumping.
Real-World House Removal Scenarios We Handle
- Family home moves – coordinating school runs, work schedules and completion times
- Flat-to-flat relocations – managing stair-only access and tight communal spaces
- Office and small business moves – carefully moving desks, IT and records
- Urgent or last-minute moves – where contracts change or landlords require quick turnaround
- Student moves – efficient, low-fuss relocations between home, halls and shared houses
Whatever your situation, we plan the move around your priorities – whether that is minimising downtime, protecting fragile items, or coordinating with key collection and handover times.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Ealing cost?
The cost of a house removal in Ealing depends on several factors: property size, volume of belongings, distance between addresses, access, and whether you choose packing or dismantling services. A small flat move locally will naturally cost less than a large family home relocating across the country. After a short discussion and, where needed, a survey, we provide a clear written quotation with no hidden extras. This allows you to know the full cost in advance and compare like-for-like with other providers.
Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?
We can often assist with same-day or urgent moves, depending on our schedule and crew availability. If your dates have changed at short notice, or you need to be out of a property quickly, contact us as soon as possible by phone. We will check our diary, advise what is realistically achievable, and tailor the service to fit the time available. While we recommend booking in advance, we appreciate that not all moves can be planned weeks ahead.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we hold public liability cover for work at your properties. This provides protection in the unlikely event of damage or an incident during the move. Full details and limits are available on request and are summarised in our quotation and terms. We always recommend that particularly high-value items are discussed in advance so we can confirm the best approach and any additional cover needed.
What is included in a typical removals service?
A typical removals service includes providing the right vehicle and crew, protecting key areas, loading your boxed belongings and furniture, transporting them safely, and unloading into the rooms you specify. Many customers also choose extras such as packing services, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and supply of boxes and packing materials. Your written quotation lists everything that is included so there is no confusion on the day. If you need additional help, such as clearing loft spaces or handling bulky items, we can usually build this into the service.
How is a professional removal different from a man-and-van?
A professional removal service offers planned, insured and well-managed moves. We provide trained teams, suitable vehicles, protective materials and clear paperwork. A casual man-and-van may not offer the same level of care, insurance cover or reliability, and you may be expected to do much more of the lifting and organising yourself. With Ealing Movers, you benefit from proper planning, written quotes, clear timings and a structured process, which greatly reduces stress and the risk of damage or delays.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
Ideally, you should book your removal as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you plan to move on a Friday or at month-end when demand is highest. Two to four weeks’ notice is common for most house moves, but we can often accommodate shorter notice if our schedule allows. Early booking secures your preferred date and gives time for packing, arrangements with building management, and parking permits where needed. If your date changes, let us know promptly and we will do our best to adjust.
