Local Expertise in Ealing
We know Ealing extremely well – from busy high streets and controlled parking zones to quiet residential cul-de-sacs. That local knowledge matters on moving day. We plan routes around school traffic, event closures and parking restrictions to keep your move on time.
We regularly move customers in areas such as Ealing Broadway, Ealing Common, Northfields, South Ealing, West Ealing and the surrounding West London postcodes. We liaise with you about parking, permits and access in advance so our removal van can park safely and as close to your property as possible.
Who Our Removal Van Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Ealing, we handle full house moves with minimal disruption. From pianos and large wardrobes to fragile artwork, we plan the move so you can focus on the keys and the paperwork while we look after the heavy lifting.
Renters
Flat and apartment moves often involve stairs, lifts, tight corridors and strict move-out times. Our teams are used to working efficiently in these conditions, protecting communal areas and ensuring your belongings leave and arrive in good condition – helping you secure your deposit.
Landlords
We support landlords with tenant changeovers, furniture removals and deliveries to furnished or part-furnished properties. Whether you need a single removal van for a few bulky items or a larger team to clear a property, we can schedule work around your check-in and check-out times.
Businesses
From small offices and retail units to clinics and studios, our removal vans are ideal for commercial relocations and reconfigurations. We can move desks, IT equipment, stock and display units, with careful labelling and placement to help you get trading again quickly.
Students
Students moving to or from Ealing benefit from a cost-effective, reliable service for term-time and end-of-year moves. A single removal van with a smaller team is usually enough for belongings from halls or shared houses, making it more convenient and safer than multiple car trips.
What We Can and Cannot Move
Items Typically Included
- Household furniture: beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs
- Appliances: washing machines, fridges, freezers (subject to defrosting)
- Boxes of personal items, books, clothing and kitchenware
- Office furniture and equipment, filing, stock and archiving
- Electronics: TVs, computers, monitors, audio systems
- Garden furniture, tools and outdoor items (clean and emptied)
Items Excluded or Requiring Special Arrangement
For safety, legal or insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need to be discussed in advance:
- Hazardous materials: gas bottles, fuel, paint thinners, chemicals
- Live plants in large quantities, soil-filled pots (by prior agreement only)
- Valuables such as cash, jewellery, important documents (best kept with you)
- Very heavy or specialist items such as grand pianos, safes or machinery (we can often handle these but must survey and quote accordingly)
- Pets and live animals
If you are unsure about a specific item, we will advise during the survey so there are no surprises on the day.
Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with the basic details of your move: current and new addresses, property type, key dates and an overview of what needs moving. We provide an initial estimate or arrange a more detailed assessment if required. All quotes are clear and itemised, with no hidden extras.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we’ll recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess access, parking, the volume of items and any special requirements. From this, we can allocate the right size removal van, the right number of movers and the right time window.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything professionally
- Partial packing – we pack fragile, awkward or high-value items
- Packing yourself – we can supply quality boxes, tape and wrapping if needed
We’ll also agree what needs dismantling and ensure appliances are disconnected safely before moving day.
4. Loading & Transport
On the day, our team arrives at the agreed time, walks through the plan with you and protects floors and vulnerable areas where necessary. Items are wrapped, covered and secured in the removal van using blankets and straps. We drive via the most suitable route, taking account of traffic and low bridges, and keep you informed of our arrival time at the destination.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload systematically, placing furniture and boxes into the correct rooms as directed. We can reassemble previously dismantled furniture and position key items such as beds and sofas so you can settle in faster. Before leaving, we check you are happy that everything is unloaded and in the right place.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Van Hire in Ealing
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Depending on the size and nature of your move, we offer:
- Fixed-price quotes for clearly defined moves
- Hourly rates for smaller or more flexible jobs
Quotes take into account:
- Travel distance between addresses
- Volume of items and van size required
- Number of movers needed
- Access issues, stairs or long carries
- Optional services such as packing, materials and storage
We explain all charges in advance so you know exactly what you’re paying for, with no last-minute surprises.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Moving with friends, your own vehicle or an unregulated man-and-van may seem cheaper, but it often costs more in time, stress and potential damage. As a professional removals company, we provide:
- Fully insured moves with proper goods in transit insurance
- Trained staff who know how to lift, carry and protect items correctly
- Suitable equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
- Reliable timings and clear communication
- Paperwork, receipts and proper accountability
In contrast, a casual man-and-van may not be insured, may not turn up on time and may not have the skills or equipment to move your belongings safely.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible removals company, we operate to high professional standards:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability cover for work in and around your property
- Trained teams who follow safe lifting techniques and handling procedures
- Regularly maintained vehicles compliant with UK road safety regulations
- Risk assessments for larger or more complex moves
We are happy to explain our cover and answer any questions about how your items are protected.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings and your property with the same care we would our own. That means protecting doors, bannisters and floors where necessary, wrapping furniture properly and planning the load so nothing is crushed or scratched in transit.
We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact where possible. We use reusable protective materials, offer sturdy reusable crates for some moves and, when you no longer need your boxes, we can advise on reuse or responsible recycling. Efficient route planning reduces unnecessary mileage and fuel use.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Removal Van Service
Moving House Within or From Ealing
Many of our customers are families and individuals moving between properties in Ealing and across London. We take care of the logistics, parking and timing so you can concentrate on completing your sale or tenancy changeover.
Office and Business Relocations
We support Ealing businesses relocating within the borough or into other parts of London. Moves are often scheduled for evenings or weekends to minimise downtime, with careful labelling and planning so staff can resume work quickly.
Urgent or Short-Notice Moves
Life doesn’t always give much notice. When you need a removal van in Ealing at short notice – for example, a last-minute tenancy end or urgent office clearance – we do our best to accommodate you, subject to availability. A clear, simple plan and an experienced crew can still make a rushed move feel controlled.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in Ealing cost?
The cost depends on the size of your move, the distance between addresses and how much help you need from our team. Smaller local moves may be priced on an hourly basis, while full house or office relocations are usually quoted at a fixed price. Packing services, materials and any complex access (such as multiple flights of stairs or long carries) are also considered. We’ll ask you a few questions or carry out a survey, then provide a clear, written quote with everything itemised so you know exactly what’s included.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?
Same-day or very short-notice moves are sometimes possible, especially outside of peak days, but they depend on vehicle and crew availability. If you need an urgent move in or around Ealing, contact us as early as you can with your details. We’ll check our schedule, explain what we can realistically do and provide a quote. Even on urgent jobs, we still work methodically and safely – we won’t overload a van or cut corners on protecting your belongings just to rush the job.
What insurance cover do you provide for my move?
Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being carried in our vehicles and handled by our team. We also hold public liability cover, which protects against damage to third-party property during the move. These policies are designed for professional removals work. We’ll happily outline key points of cover, including any limits or exclusions, before you book. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend you inform your own insurer so you have an extra layer of protection.
What’s included in your removal van service as standard?
As standard, you get a suitable removal van, a trained team, protective blankets and securing straps, loading, transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We include basic furniture protection and, where agreed, dismantling and reassembly of standard items like bed frames. Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover are also included. Optional extras are packing services, packing materials, disposal of unwanted items and storage. We always confirm in writing what is and isn’t included in your specific quote so there is no confusion.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
While a basic man-and-van may simply provide a driver and a vehicle, our service is a structured, professional removals operation. We provide a trained team, proper planning, surveys where needed and full insurance. Our vans are equipped with blankets, straps and handling tools, and our crews are experienced in moving everything from fragile items to heavy furniture. You receive written confirmation of your booking, clear arrival windows and a point of contact. This reduces risk, protects your belongings and makes the whole experience far less stressful.
How far in advance should I book a removal van in Ealing?
For typical house and office moves, we recommend booking as soon as you have a firm date, especially if you’re moving on a Friday, weekend or at month-end when demand is highest. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal, but we often accommodate moves with shorter lead times. For student moves and small jobs, a week or two is usually sufficient. The earlier you contact us, the more choice you’ll have on dates and times, and the easier it is to plan parking, access and any extra services you may need.
