Man and Van Ealing

At Ealing Movers, our man and van Ealing service is designed for people who want a reliable, well-organised move without the cost and fuss of a full-scale removals crew. You still get a professional, fully insured team – just in a more flexible, fast and affordable format.

What Our Man and Van Service Includes

Our man and van in Ealing is a streamlined removals service, carried out by trained movers using purpose-built vehicles. It’s ideal for small to medium moves and flexible transport jobs across West London and beyond.

Typical man and van jobs

Every job includes a trained driver-loader, a clean and equipped vehicle, and careful loading, transport and unloading at your new address.

Local Expertise: Ealing and Surrounding Areas

We’re based in Ealing and work here every day. That local knowledge makes a real difference:

• Understanding of controlled parking zones and loading restrictions
• Experience with mansion blocks, conversions and narrow terraced streets
• Familiarity with popular student areas and landlord portfolios
• Efficient routes across West London and into central London

Whether you’re moving within Ealing, to another part of London or further afield, we plan your move around local conditions so it runs smoothly and on time.

Who Our Man and Van Service Is For

Homeowners

Perfect for smaller homes, downsizing, or moving selected items ahead of a main move. If you don’t need a full removals crew, our man and van gives you a professional but economical alternative.

Renters

Ideal for flat moves across Ealing and West London. We’re used to top-floor walk-ups, limited lift access and tight stairwells, and we’ll handle your belongings with care while protecting the building.

Landlords

We regularly help landlords clear or refresh properties between tenancies. From removing old furniture to delivering new pieces, our reliable man and van teams work to your timescales.

Businesses

For small offices, shop units and consultants, our service is ideal for moving workstations, stock and archive boxes with minimal disruption. We can operate outside normal hours on request.

Students

We support students moving to and from halls and shared houses around Ealing and across London. Shared man and van bookings keep costs down while still giving you a professional move.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, tables, wardrobes, drawers
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, tumble dryers
• Boxes, suitcases, bags and personal belongings
• Home office and business equipment, including boxed IT
• Bikes, sports equipment and hobby items

Items Usually Excluded

For safety, legal and insurance reasons we normally cannot carry:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Live animals or livestock
• Illegal goods or items of unknown origin
• Industrial machinery not designed for domestic power
• Very high-value items without prior declaration and agreement

If you’re unsure about a particular item, please mention it during your enquiry and we’ll advise on what’s possible and how it should be prepared.

Our Step-by-Step Man and Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or form with your addresses, access details and a list or photos of items. We’ll ask the right questions to understand the job properly and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on your requirements.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most man and van jobs, a video or photo survey is sufficient. For more complex moves – tight access, large or fragile items – we may suggest a short onsite visit in Ealing. This helps us allocate the right vehicle, staff and equipment, and avoid surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own belongings, or we can add a packing service if needed. We supply sturdy boxes, tape and wrapping materials on request. We’ll guide you on how to pack safely, label boxes clearly and prepare appliances so moving day runs efficiently.

4. Loading & Transport

On the day, our trained movers arrive on time, protect key items, and load your belongings in a logical, secure order. We use blankets, straps and trolleys to safeguard your goods and the property. Once loaded, we head straight to your destination via the most suitable route.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address we unload carefully, placing items in the rooms you specify. We can position larger items such as beds and wardrobes where you want them, so you’re not left dragging heavy furniture around after we leave.

Transparent Man and Van Pricing

We believe in clear, honest pricing. Our man and van rates are typically based on:

• Vehicle size required
• Number of movers needed
• Time on site and travel time
• Distance between addresses
• Any additional services (packing, materials, dismantling/reassembly)

For straightforward local jobs, we often work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For defined moves with a clear inventory, we can offer a fixed price. Either way, your quote will be fully explained upfront so you know exactly what’s included.

Why Choose Professional Man and Van Over DIY

Hiring a casual van or asking friends for help can seem cheaper, but it often leads to damage, delays and stress. With Ealing Movers you benefit from:

• Professional handling of furniture and appliances
• Efficient loading that makes the most of the vehicle space
• Reduced risk of injury to you or your helpers
• Fully insured transport, giving you protection if something goes wrong
• Reliable arrival times and a clear plan for the day

For many customers, the peace of mind alone is worth it, especially when moving valuable or sentimental possessions.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Ealing Movers operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance for your items while they’re on the move
• Public liability cover for peace of mind in and around your property
• Trained man and van teams who know how to move safely and efficiently

We follow industry best practice for lifting, securing loads and protecting property. Our vehicles are kept clean, well-maintained and properly equipped for removals work.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to move your belongings with care while minimising our impact on the environment.

• Use of blankets, floor protection and wrapping where needed
• Thoughtful loading to reduce the risk of scuffs and breakages
• Reusable crates available on certain jobs to cut down on single-use packaging
• Route planning to minimise unnecessary mileage
• Recycling or responsible disposal services available by arrangement

Our goal is a smooth, damage-free move that’s as efficient and sustainable as reasonably possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man and van in Ealing cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of vehicle, number of movers, distance and time involved. For local jobs within Ealing, we often work on an hourly rate with a sensible minimum booking, so you only pay for the time you use. For clearly defined moves, we can provide a fixed-price quote based on your inventory and access details. There are no hidden extras: we’ll explain exactly what’s included, and any potential additional costs, before you confirm your booking.

Can you do same-day or urgent man and van moves?

Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent moves in and around Ealing, depending on availability. If your dates are flexible, we’ll offer the earliest suitable slot. For very short-notice jobs, providing photos or a quick video call helps us understand what’s involved so we can send the right vehicle and team. Urgent work is still carried out by our professional, fully insured movers; we simply compress the planning process and keep communication clear and direct.

What insurance cover do you provide?

All our man and van jobs are covered by goods in transit insurance, which protects your belongings while they’re being transported in our vehicles. We also carry public liability cover for incidents in and around your property. Insurance details and limits are available on request, and we’ll highlight any items that may require special handling or additional cover. While our teams work very carefully, this insurance gives an extra layer of reassurance that you rarely get with casual or unregistered operators.

What’s included in your man and van service?

Our standard service includes a trained driver-loader, a suitable removals vehicle, protective equipment (blankets, straps, trolleys) and careful loading, transport and unloading. We place items in the rooms you specify and treat both properties with respect. On request, we can add packing services, supply boxes and materials, and dismantle or reassemble straightforward furniture. Your quote will always clarify exactly what’s included, so you know what we’re responsible for and what you may want to handle yourself.

What’s the difference between your removals and man and van service?

Our full removals service is designed for larger, more complex moves and usually involves a bigger crew, larger vehicles, detailed planning and often full or partial packing. Man and van is a more flexible, scaled-down service aimed at smaller moves or straightforward transport jobs. Importantly, both are carried out by the same professional, fully insured teams. The main differences are the size of the resources we allocate, the level of planning involved and the way pricing is structured.

How far in advance should I book?

For weekends and month-end dates, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and university changeovers. For weekday moves or smaller local jobs, we can often help with shorter notice. If you know your moving window but not the exact date, it’s worth getting in touch early so we can pencil you in. The more notice you give, the more choice of time slots and vehicle sizes we can offer.
