Removals

Removals in Ealing by Ealing Movers

At Ealing Movers, we provide reliable, well-organised removals across Ealing and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving homes and businesses, we understand how to plan and carry out a smooth, low-stress move, whether you are relocating a small flat or a large office.

What Our Removals Service Includes

Our removals service is designed to cover every stage of your move, from initial planning through to final placement of furniture in your new property. We tailor every job to suit your needs and budget, while maintaining the same high standards of care.

Who Our Service Is For

• Homeowners upsizing, downsizing or moving out of Ealing
• Renters moving between flats, house shares or into their first home
• Landlords needing properties cleared or furnished between tenancies
• Businesses relocating offices, shops or small commercial units
• Students moving into or out of halls and shared accommodation

Typical Items We Move

We handle most household and office contents, including:

• Sofas, beds, wardrobes, chests of drawers and other furniture
• White goods – fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers
• Electronics – TVs, computers, audio equipment and small appliances
• Boxes of personal items, books, clothes and kitchenware
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and archive boxes
• Outdoor items such as garden furniture, tools and bikes

Items We Cannot Move

For safety, legal or insurance reasons, some items are excluded from our standard removals service:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, paint thinners, chemicals)
• Illegal items or substances
• Open containers of liquids or paint likely to spill
• Large commercial machinery not previously agreed in the quote
• Live animals (though we are happy to advise on safe pet transport)
• High-value items such as fine art or jewellery without prior arrangement

If you have any unusual or high-value items, we can usually help – we simply need to discuss them in advance so the right protection and cover can be arranged.

Our Removals Process: Step by Step

1. Enquiry & Quote

Everything starts with a conversation. Contact us by phone or online and tell us the basics: where you are moving from and to, the type of property, key dates and any time restrictions. We will ask a few structured questions to understand the volume of items, access at each property and any special requirements.

Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included, any optional extras, and the likely timing of your move.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we arrange a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Ealing, depending on your preference and schedule.

The survey allows us to:

• Assess the size and quantity of items accurately
• Check access, parking and any restrictions
• Identify fragile or specialist pieces needing extra protection
• Plan the right number of movers and vehicles

3. Packing & Preparation

We can offer a range of packing services to suit how much you want to do yourself:

• Full packing service – our team packs your entire property using strong boxes and quality materials.
• Part packing – we pack fragile or bulky items such as glassware, pictures, mirrors and TVs.
• Self-packing – you pack your own boxes; we supply materials if required and advise on safe packing.

On the day before or the morning of the move (depending on the service chosen), we label and prepare items for safe loading, protecting floors, bannisters and doorways as needed.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives at the agreed time, introduces themselves and walks through the plan with you. We then:

• Protect furniture with blankets and covers
• Use trolleys and handling equipment for heavy items
• Secure everything properly in the vehicle to prevent movement

Your goods are transported in our purpose-equipped vehicles under goods in transit insurance, giving you reassurance throughout the journey.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload carefully and place items in the rooms you specify, not just in a pile by the door. We can:

• Rebuild standard furniture we dismantled for the move
• Position larger items where you want them from the outset
• Remove used packing materials we supplied, on request

Before leaving, we check every room with you to make sure you are satisfied and nothing has been missed.

Local Removals Expertise in Ealing

Working daily in and around Ealing means we are familiar with local roads, parking rules, controlled parking zones, and typical access issues in period terraces, mansion blocks and modern developments.

We regularly carry out moves in areas such as Ealing Broadway, Northfields, South Ealing, Pitshanger, West Ealing and Acton borders, so we know the best times and routes to minimise delays. This local knowledge helps your move run more smoothly and reduces the risk of parking or access surprises on the day.

Transparent Pricing for Removals in Ealing

We believe in clear, honest pricing. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to parking)
• Distance between addresses
• Level of packing service required
• Any additional services (storage, furniture assembly, disposal)

All known costs are explained upfront so you can budget with confidence. If your situation changes – for example, extra items are added or access becomes more difficult than described – we discuss any price adjustments with you openly before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van

Moving yourself or hiring an informal man-and-van might seem cheaper, but it often results in extra stress, hidden costs and a higher risk of damage.

With Ealing Movers you benefit from:

• Professional planning, punctuality and communication
• Experienced, trained staff who know how to lift and protect items safely
• Appropriate vehicles and equipment, reducing the number of trips
• Fully insured cover for your goods in transit
• Clear contracts and agreed responsibilities

For many customers, the reduced risk of breakages, injuries and delays more than justifies choosing a structured, professional service.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We operate to recognised industry standards and back this up with suitable insurance and training.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to terms and declared values.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property during the move.
• Trained moving teams – our staff receive ongoing instruction in safe handling, lifting techniques and protection methods.

If you need specific confirmation of cover levels for your solicitor, landlord or building management, we can provide documentation on request.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings and property with the same care we would want for our own. This includes:

• Using padded covers for furniture, mattresses and doors
• Protecting floors with runners where needed
• Packing fragile items with appropriate cushioning

We also work to reduce waste and environmental impact by:

• Reusing sturdy boxes where suitable
• Recycling materials at approved facilities
• Planning routes efficiently to limit unnecessary mileage

Where possible, we encourage customers to separate unwanted items for donation or recycling rather than disposal.

Real-World Removals Use Cases

Moving House in Ealing

Whether you are moving from a studio flat near Ealing Broadway or a family home in Pitshanger, we can scale our service to match. We frequently coordinate with estate agents and solicitors to work around completion times and key handovers, helping your move day run smoothly.

Office and Business Relocations

For businesses, we understand the need to minimise downtime. We can schedule moves outside normal working hours, label and organise equipment so staff can resume work quickly, and liaise with building management about lift bookings and access.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves arise at short notice – a tenancy ending sooner than expected, a chain suddenly completing, or emergency repairs needed. Where our schedule allows, we offer urgent removals and can often mobilise a team quickly in Ealing. The more information you can give us, the faster we can confirm what is realistically achievable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Ealing typically cost?

The cost of a removal in Ealing depends mainly on the volume of your belongings, access at each property, travel distance and the level of packing help you require. Smaller flat moves may be completed within a few hours, while larger family homes typically require a full day or more and a larger crew. Once we have the key details, we provide a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges are explained in advance.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves, especially within Ealing and nearby areas, but availability depends on our existing bookings and the scale of your move. For small flats or partial moves, we are more likely to be able to arrange urgent assistance. For full house or office relocations, we may need at least some time to plan vehicles, staff and access. Contact us as soon as you know your dates and we will give you an honest assessment of what we can do.

What insurance cover do you provide during the move?

Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to the policy terms and any declared value limits. We also hold public liability insurance, which provides cover for accidental damage to third-party property during the move. While we handle items carefully to avoid issues, insurance provides an additional layer of reassurance. If you have very high-value or specialist items, let us know so we can confirm the appropriate cover or discuss any additional arrangements.

What exactly is included in your removals service?

Our standard removals service includes supplying a vehicle of suitable size, a trained moving team, protective blankets and equipment, loading at your current address, transport to your new property and unloading into the rooms you specify. We also protect main furniture items and handle basic dismantling and reassembly where agreed in advance. Optional extras include packing services, boxes and materials, storage, and disposal of certain unwanted items. Your written quote will clearly outline what is and is not included so there is no confusion on the day.

How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?

While some man-and-van services can be useful for very small jobs, a professional removals company offers greater structure, reliability and protection. We provide written quotes, clear terms, fully insured cover, trained staff and dedicated removals vehicles equipped with blankets, trolleys and straps. We plan your move, manage access issues and take responsibility for safely handling your belongings from door to door. For most full home or office moves, this reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings compared with informal arrangements.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

Ideally, we recommend booking as soon as you have a likely move date, especially if you are moving at busy times of year such as the end of the month or during school holidays. Many customers confirm their booking one to four weeks in advance. However, we understand that contracts and completion dates can change, so we remain as flexible as possible. Even if your date is not fixed, it is worth contacting us early so we can pencil you in and advise on the best options.
