Piano Removals

Piano Removals Ealing by Experienced Local Specialists

Moving a piano is not like moving normal furniture. It is heavy, delicate, and often one of the most treasured items in a home or business. At Ealing Man and Van, we provide specialist piano removals across Ealing and the surrounding areas, combining local knowledge with careful, professional handling.

Professional Piano Removals in Ealing

We have years of hands-on experience moving upright pianos, baby grands and digital pianos in period houses, new-build apartments, schools, churches and studios throughout Ealing. Our teams use the correct equipment, safe techniques and careful planning to move your instrument with minimal risk and disruption.

Every move is carried out by a trained, professional crew who understand how pianos are constructed, where they are most vulnerable, and how to protect floors, walls and staircases during the move.

Who Our Piano Removal Service Is For

Our specialist piano removals in Ealing are suitable for:

Homeowners

If you are moving house or rearranging rooms, we can safely move your piano between properties or simply between floors, ensuring both instrument and property are protected.

Renters

For tenants moving in or out of flats and houses, particularly with tight staircases or limited lift access, our team will handle all lifting, protection and access challenges on your behalf.

Landlords

We assist landlords needing pianos removed, relocated or stored between tenancies, taking care to protect existing décor and minimise disturbance to other residents.

Businesses & Organisations

We work with schools, music studios, venues, churches and care homes to move pianos for refurbishments, events, relocations or disposals, always planning around your schedule.

Students

Music students moving between halls, shared houses or returning home can rely on us for scheduled or short-notice piano moves that fit around term dates and exam periods.

What Our Piano Removals Service Includes

We handle most types of pianos and associated items, including:

• Upright pianos (all sizes)
• Baby grand and grand pianos (with appropriate access)
• Digital pianos and stage pianos
• Piano benches and stools
• Music stands and small related accessories

Items Not Included

To keep the service safe and compliant, we do not move:

• Excessively damaged or structurally unsound pianos
• Pianos requiring crane lifts from upper floors (but we can often recommend a specialist partner)
• Hazardous materials or flammable items stored inside or around the piano
• Non-removal related building works (e.g. removing windows, doors or railings) – these must be arranged separately

Our Step‑by‑Step Piano Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us with details of your piano, both addresses, and any access information you have. We ask about stairs, lifts, turns, parking and flooring. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation explaining what is included and any variables that might affect the price.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For more complex moves, such as larger grands or tight access, we arrange a virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess door widths, staircases, landings and any obstacles. The survey ensures we send the right number of movers, equipment and vehicle on the day, reducing risk and avoiding surprises.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the day, we first protect the piano and your property. We use padding, blankets, straps and, where appropriate, piano shoes, boards or skids. Floors, bannisters and door frames are protected. For grand and baby grand pianos, we may remove legs and pedals where needed, wrapping each component securely.

4. Loading & Transport

The piano is carefully moved using trolleys, dollies or specialist equipment, then secured in our vehicle using straps and padding to prevent movement. Our vehicles are clean, well-maintained and suitable for heavy, delicate loads, with goods in transit insurance for additional peace of mind.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we place the piano exactly where you want it, subject to safe access. Any removed parts are refitted and final protection is removed. We will not tune the piano – you should allow it time to acclimatise and then arrange tuning – but we will ensure it is stable and level.

Transparent Piano Removals Pricing

Piano removal costs in Ealing depend on several factors:

• Type and size of piano
• Distance between properties
• Number of stairs and difficulty of access
• Parking restrictions or long carries
• Any additional services (e.g. internal moves, interim storage)

We explain our pricing clearly before you book, so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras: any potential additional charges (for example, if access is significantly different to what was described) are discussed in advance wherever possible.

Why Use Professional Piano Movers Instead of DIY

Attempting to move a piano yourself, or using a casual man-and-van with no specialist experience, can lead to damage to the instrument, your property and, most importantly, people. Pianos are extremely heavy but also finely balanced, with sensitive internal components.

Our professional teams use proper lifting techniques, teamwork and equipment to control the weight and movement at every stage. This helps prevent injuries, dropped instruments, damaged flooring, and cracked casings. In many cases, the cost of repairing damage exceeds the cost of professional removals.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Ealing Man and Van operates to clear standards designed to protect you and your piano:

• Goods in transit insurance for items we carry, including pianos
• Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to property
• Trained moving teams with hands-on experience of piano removals
• Risk assessments for challenging access or heavier instruments
• Well-maintained equipment and vehicles appropriate for the job

We take the time to explain what is covered and under what conditions, so you understand how our insurance supports your move.

Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability

Protecting your piano and property is at the heart of how we work. We use high-quality wraps, blankets and floor protection to minimise any risk of marks or scratches. Our movers are trained to work carefully in tight spaces, protecting walls, bannisters and doors.

We also aim to work in a more sustainable way where possible by:

• Reusing durable protective materials rather than single-use plastics
• Planning efficient routes to reduce mileage
• Maintaining vehicles to improve fuel efficiency
• Supporting reuse or responsible disposal of old pianos where required

Real-World Piano Removal Scenarios We Handle

Moving House

We regularly move pianos as part of full house moves within Ealing and across London or the UK. We can coordinate timings with your wider move so the piano is loaded and unloaded at the safest and most convenient moment.

Office and Studio Relocations

From music studios to corporate offices with reception pianos, we plan moves around business hours to minimise downtime. We are used to working in shared buildings and managing access, lifts and loading bays professionally.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes pianos need to be moved quickly – for example, after a sudden tenancy change, a sale, or building works starting earlier than expected. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day piano removals in Ealing, with clear communication about availability and pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a piano removal in Ealing cost?

The cost depends mainly on the type of piano, the distance between properties and how easy the access is at each end. Upright pianos on ground floor to ground floor moves are usually the most straightforward and therefore more affordable. Moves involving stairs, tight turns, or baby grand/grand pianos require more labour and planning, which increases the price. Once we know the details, we provide a clear, fixed quote wherever possible so you know the exact cost before you book.

Can you move my piano at short notice or on the same day?

We can often help with same-day or urgent piano removals in Ealing, depending on our existing bookings and the complexity of your move. Simple ground floor moves are easier to accommodate at short notice than larger or multi-flight stair moves. The best approach is to call us as soon as you know you need the piano moved, provide full details, and we will confirm what is realistically possible along with any premium for urgent work or out-of-hours attendance.

Is my piano insured while you move it?

Yes. Your piano is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is in our care and being transported in our vehicles. We also carry public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. As with any insurance, there are conditions and exclusions, which we can explain when quoting. We always encourage customers to tell us about any existing damage or special concerns in advance so we can take extra care and note everything properly before the move begins.

What is included in your piano removals service?

Our service includes the labour of a suitably sized team, protective materials for the piano and key access areas, safe loading and unloading, and secure transport between addresses. For grand or baby grand pianos, it can also include careful removal and refitting of legs and pedals where needed. We place the piano in your chosen position at the destination, subject to safe access. Tuning is not included, as the piano should settle after the move before a professional tuner adjusts it.

How is a specialist piano removal different from a basic man-and-van service?

A general man-and-van may be fine for standard boxes and furniture, but pianos require specific skills and equipment. Our teams are trained in safe handling of heavy, awkward loads, and we use suitable trolleys, boards and protective materials. We also provide goods in transit insurance and public liability cover tailored for removals work. This reduces the risk of injury, damage to your property or harm to the instrument itself, which can be very costly to repair or replace.

How far in advance should I book a piano removal?

For the best choice of dates and times, particularly at weekends and month-end, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. This is especially important for larger pianos or moves involving stairs, where we need to allocate extra staff or arrange a survey. That said, we understand that plans can change quickly, so we always do our best to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer.

Man with Van

Man with Van Ealing – Professional Local Moving Service

Reliable Man with Van Removals in Ealing

At Ealing Man and Van, our man with van service is designed for people who want a flexible, efficient move without compromising on care or professionalism. Whether you are moving a few items across Ealing or clearing a flat and relocating across London, we provide a fully managed service delivered by trained, professional movers using well-maintained vehicles.

We combine the convenience of a traditional man-and-van with the standards you would expect from a specialist removals company: clear communication, careful handling, and full paperwork for your peace of mind.

Local Ealing Expertise

Working daily in and around Ealing means we know the area inside out. From controlled parking zones and narrow residential streets to high-rise flats and permit-only bays, we plan each job around local conditions to keep things running smoothly.

We regularly handle moves in areas such as Ealing Broadway, South Ealing, Northfields, Hanwell, West Ealing and Acton. We can advise on parking suspensions, loading restrictions, and optimum times to move to avoid traffic and minimise disruption to you and your neighbours.

Who Our Man with Van Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal for smaller house moves, partial moves, or when you simply do not have enough items to justify a large removals truck. We can handle everything from single-room clearances to downsizing moves.

Renters

Perfect for flat and apartment moves in and around Ealing. We are used to stair-only access, lifts, awkward corridors and tight stairwells. We protect your belongings and the building throughout.

Landlords

We support landlords with end-of-tenancy clearances, furniture moves between properties, and collection or delivery of new furnishings. We work efficiently and respectfully to minimise void periods.

Businesses

Our small office and shop moves service is ideal for Ealing businesses needing flexible, out-of-hours or weekend transport. We move IT equipment, filing, stock, and office furniture with proper protection and labelling.

Students

We regularly help students moving to or from halls and shared houses. A man with van is a cost-effective way to move your belongings safely, especially if you do not drive or cannot hire a van yourself.

What Our Man with Van Service Includes

Items Commonly Moved

Our team is experienced in moving a wide range of household and business items, including:

• Sofas, armchairs, beds and mattresses
• Wardrobes, chests of drawers and other bedroom furniture
• Dining tables, chairs, sideboards and bookcases
• Fridges, freezers, washing machines and other white goods
• TVs, audio equipment and home electronics (properly protected)
• Boxes, suitcases and personal items
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and boxed files
• Student belongings and small storage units

Items We Normally Exclude

To protect you, our team and your belongings, there are some items we typically cannot transport, including:

• Hazardous or flammable materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals)
• Illegal or stolen goods
• Unsecured cash, high-value jewellery, or important documents (these are best carried by you personally)
• Live animals (including pets and livestock)
• Industrial machinery requiring specialist lifting or dismantling

If you are unsure whether we can move a particular item, just ask when you enquire and we will advise honestly.

Our Step-by-Step Man with Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quotation

You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about addresses, access, inventory, and your ideal dates and times. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining whether the job is best priced hourly or as a fixed rate.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For straightforward, smaller moves we can usually quote from photos, videos or a detailed list. For larger or more complex jobs, we may recommend a short virtual or onsite survey. This helps us understand parking, stairs, lift access and any particularly heavy or fragile items so we send the right team and equipment on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose to pack your own items, or add our packing service. If you pack yourself, we can supply quality boxes, tape and wrapping materials in advance. On moving day we use blankets, covers and straps to protect furniture and appliances, and we plan the loading order to keep your essential items accessible.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained moving teams handle all the heavy lifting, using trolleys and lifting straps where needed. Floors, banisters and doors are protected where appropriate. Your belongings are secured in the van with blankets and ties. We then transport them directly to your new address using the safest, most efficient route available.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload and place items into the rooms you choose, rather than leaving everything in the hallway. We can reassemble simple items we dismantled (such as bed frames) by prior agreement. Before we leave, we check you are happy with the placement and that nothing has been overlooked.

Transparent Pricing for Man with Van in Ealing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Depending on your requirements, we offer:

• Hourly rates for smaller or more flexible jobs
• Fixed-price quotes for defined moves and clear inventories
• Optional add-ons such as packing, materials and furniture dismantling/reassembly

Our quote will set out what is included, how long we expect the job to take, and any assumptions on parking or access. If something is likely to change the price (for example, additional pick-up points), we explain this in advance so you can make an informed decision.

Why Choose a Professional Man with Van Over DIY

Hiring a van yourself might look cheaper on paper, but there are several hidden costs and risks. With a professional service, you benefit from:

• Experienced handling – fewer breakages and less risk of injury
• Proper equipment such as trolleys, blankets and straps
• Time efficiency – our teams move quickly and systematically
• Reduced stress – no driving unfamiliar large vehicles or coordinating friends
• Clear liability and insurance cover if something goes wrong

A casual man-and-van without proper cover may leave you exposed if items are damaged or if someone is injured during the move. Using a reputable, accountable company is a safer choice.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Ealing Man and Van operates as a professional removals company, not just a driver with a van. We carry appropriate insurance and maintain high operating standards:

• Goods in transit insurance – protects your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicle, subject to policy terms
• Public liability cover – covers accidental damage to property or injury to third parties caused by our work
• Trained moving teams – staff are instructed in correct lifting techniques, packing, loading and customer care
• Clean, regularly maintained vehicles suitable for removals

Full details of our cover are available on request, and we are always happy to explain what is and is not included so expectations are clear.

Care, Protection and Sustainable Practices

Every move, no matter how small, is treated with care. We use padded blankets, mattress and sofa covers where appropriate, and we secure items using ties and webbing to reduce movement in transit. Floors and walls are protected as needed to prevent scuffs and scratches.

We also aim to work responsibly. Reusable protective materials, efficient route planning and consolidating journeys where feasible all help reduce waste and fuel use. Where possible, we recommend re-using good-quality boxes or choosing recyclable materials to keep your move as sustainable as practical.

Real-World Ways Our Man with Van Service Helps

Moving House or Flat

For one- or two-bedroom homes, a man with van is often the most practical choice. We can manage the complete move or just the heavier items you cannot safely move yourself, coordinating with your timings and key handover.

Office and Small Business Relocations

From a single office to a small shop, we help Ealing businesses relocate stock, equipment and furniture with minimal downtime. Evening and weekend moves are available by arrangement to keep your trading disruption to a minimum.

Urgent and Same-Day Moves

Sometimes plans change unexpectedly. Subject to availability, we can often provide same-day or short-notice man with van support, whether you have been let down by another mover, need an urgent collection, or must vacate a property sooner than planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man with van service in Ealing cost?

Pricing depends mainly on how long the job takes, the size of the team required, and the distance between addresses. Smaller local moves are often billed on an hourly rate, with a minimum charge to cover travel and set-up time. For clearer jobs with a fixed inventory, we may offer a set price so you know exactly what you will pay. Your quote will outline what is included and any potential extra charges, for example for additional pick-ups, congestion charges or parking costs.

Can you offer same-day or urgent man with van bookings?

Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice moves in and around Ealing. Availability is best on weekdays and outside peak times, but we always try to help, especially if you have been let down or have an urgent deadline such as end of tenancy. The more information you can give us when you call, the quicker we can confirm whether we can get a team and vehicle to you, and provide a clear price before you commit.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We carry goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, as well as public liability cover for accidental damage to property or injury to third parties during the move. Like all insurance, there are limits and exclusions, for example for certain high-value or fragile items unless agreed in advance. We are happy to provide details of our policies and discuss any special items you are concerned about before you book.

What is included in your man with van removals service?

Our standard service includes a suitable van, one or more professional movers, loading and unloading of your belongings, and transport between your addresses. We supply removal blankets and securing straps as standard, and we place items into the rooms you choose at the destination. Optional extras include packing services, packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of certain furniture, and additional stops for collections or deliveries. All inclusions will be clearly set out in your written quote before you confirm the booking.

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

A professional service like Ealing Man and Van offers more than just a driver and a vehicle. You benefit from trained staff, proper equipment, scheduled time slots, and documented insurance. We complete a pre-move assessment, plan loading and routes, protect your property and belongings, and provide invoices or receipts for your records. A casual man-and-van may be cheaper upfront, but often lacks adequate cover, reliability and accountability, which can become costly if items are damaged or timings slip significantly.

How far in advance should I book a man with van in Ealing?

For weekend moves and the end or beginning of the month, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred slot. For weekday moves or smaller jobs, a few days’ notice is often enough, although we will always try to accommodate last-minute requests. The sooner you contact us, the better we can plan your move, advise on parking arrangements, and suggest the most efficient timing to keep both costs and disruption to a minimum.

Man and a Van Ealing – Professional Local Moving Service

At Ealing Man and Van, our man and a van service is designed for people who want a reliable, professional move without the cost or complexity of a full-scale removal.

What Our Man and a Van Service Includes

Everything is carried out by our own fully insured team who move furniture and personal belongings day in, day out. You are not just hiring a man with a van – you are hiring a removals professional backed by proper processes and insurance.

Local Expertise in Ealing

We are based in Ealing and know the borough extremely well. Our drivers are used to:

• Navigating busy roads such as Uxbridge Road, Ealing Broadway and the A40 corridor
• Working around controlled parking zones and loading restrictions
• Co-ordinating with building managers, concierge desks and porters
• Handling moves in Victorian terraces, mansion blocks and modern flats

This local knowledge allows us to plan sensible routes, realistic timings and appropriate access for your move. It also helps keep your costs transparent, because we know what is involved before we arrive.

Who Our Man and a Van Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal for moving between smaller properties, transporting individual large items, or completing the final loads after a main removal. We frequently help homeowners with part-loads, storage runs and furniture collections.

Renters

Perfect for studio, one-bed and small two-bed moves. We regularly help tenants move between flats in Ealing, as well as into or out of house shares, ensuring deposits are protected by avoiding damage to walls, floors and communal areas.

Landlords

Landlords use our service to clear or set up furnished lets, move white goods, and remove old furniture. We provide a dependable, professional service that respects neighbours and building rules.

Businesses

Small offices, shops and clinics often need a flexible transport option. Our man and a van team handles office chairs, desks, IT equipment and archive boxes, with careful loading and sensible labelling so you can get back to work quickly.

Students

Students at local universities and colleges use us for end-of-term moves, storage runs and new term arrivals. We keep it simple and affordable, while still providing a trained mover who treats your belongings properly.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Commonly Included

• Household furniture – beds, sofas, wardrobes, tables and chairs
• Boxes, suitcases, bags and personal belongings
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers (disconnected and emptied)
• Office furniture, IT equipment and files
• Student belongings and small storage units
• Flat-pack items, including collection from stores and assembly at extra cost

Items We Normally Exclude

• Hazardous materials: fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint thinners
• Illegal or stolen goods
• Live animals (including pets and livestock)
• Unsecured very high-value items such as fine art or jewellery
• Industrial machinery or equipment above our safe lifting/weight limits

If you are unsure whether something can be moved, tell us during your enquiry. We will advise clearly, and where appropriate, suggest a suitable alternative service.

Our Step-by-Step Man and a Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone, email or form with basic details: addresses, access notes, list of items and preferred date. We ask focused questions so we understand the job properly. Based on this, we give a clear, no-obligation quote, usually either a fixed price or an hourly rate with a minimum booking period.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For smaller moves, a virtual survey by video or photos is usually enough. For larger or more complex jobs, we may visit in person. The survey allows us to assess parking, stairs or lifts, awkward stair turns, and any dismantling required, so we send the right van size, equipment and number of movers.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can pack your own items or ask us to provide professional packing. We can supply boxes, tape, bubble wrap and materials in advance. On the day, our team protects furniture with blankets, covers and wrapping as needed, and we dismantle simple items where agreed in advance.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained movers load the van systematically, using straps and blankets to prevent movement in transit. Heavy and bulky pieces go in first, followed by boxes and lighter goods. We then drive directly to your destination, using sensible routes and keeping in touch if there are any unexpected delays.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload into the rooms you indicate, rather than leaving everything in the hallway. Where agreed, we reassemble basic items such as bed frames. Before we leave, we invite you to check that everything has arrived safely and is where it needs to be.

Transparent Pricing – How We Charge

Our man and a van pricing is straightforward and explained in advance. We typically offer:

• Hourly rates for small, local jobs
• Fixed prices for clearly defined moves
• Additional options for extra movers, packing and materials

The final price depends on:

• Volume and type of items
• Number of floors, stairs and access constraints
• Distance between addresses
• Time of day and day of week

There are no hidden charges for fuel or mileage within the agreed terms. Any potential extras, such as congestion or parking charges, are discussed before booking so you know exactly what to expect.

Why Choose Professional Movers Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van

Hiring a casual man with a van or asking friends to help may appear cheaper, but it often leads to damage, delays and stress. With Ealing Man and Van, you get:

• Trained staff who move heavy and delicate items safely
• Fully insured cover for your goods and our work
• Proper protective equipment and tools
• Reliable timing and clear communication
• A written confirmation of your booking and agreed costs

This reduces the risk of injury, breakage and disputes, and means your move is handled as a professional service, not a favour or informal arrangement.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance – protects your belongings while they are in our van
• Public liability cover – protects you and your property during our work on-site
• Trained moving teams – staff are inducted, supervised and experienced

We follow established handling techniques, use appropriate lifting methods and always prioritise safety. If you have high-value or particularly fragile items, tell us beforehand so we can note them and, where necessary, discuss additional cover or handling measures.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped or covered where needed, and items are carried carefully through doorways and stairwells to avoid scuffs and scratches. We aim to minimise waste by:

• Re-using strong cartons where safe and appropriate
• Offering rentable crates for certain jobs
• Recycling materials and packaging whenever possible
• Planning routes sensibly to avoid unnecessary mileage

Our goal is to provide a high standard of service while keeping our environmental impact reasonable and proportionate.

Real-World Ways Customers Use Our Man and a Van Service

Moving House

For smaller flats and partial moves, our man and a van option is often the most efficient choice. We regularly help people moving between rented flats, downsizing, or transferring a few key pieces between properties in and around Ealing.

Office Relocation

Small businesses use us to move desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment, either as a complete small-office move or in stages. We work to agreed schedules to minimise downtime and can often handle moves outside normal working hours.

Urgent and Same-Day Moves

Sometimes plans change at short notice. Where we have availability, we can provide same-day or next-day man and a van support for urgent situations: last-minute flat moves, cancelled helpers, or key collection issues. Contact us as early as possible and we will advise what is realistically achievable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man and a van in Ealing cost?

Costs depend on the size of the move, distance, access and how many movers you need. For smaller local jobs, we usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For more defined moves, we can often provide a fixed price. To give an accurate figure, we will ask about the list of items, floors, parking and dates. Once we have this, we provide a clear quote with no hidden extras, and explain how any overtime would be charged if needed.

Can you provide same-day or urgent man and a van services?

Yes, we can sometimes offer same-day or next-day bookings, depending on availability and the size of the job. Urgent moves are usually best suited to smaller loads, as they are easier to schedule at short notice. If you need an emergency move, call us as early as possible with full details. We will confirm what we can realistically do, provide a clear estimate, and agree timing and access arrangements so there are no surprises on the day.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Our man and a van service includes goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicle, and public liability cover for work carried out at your property. This is separate from any policy you may have personally. We will outline the main terms, limits and exclusions before you book. For especially high-value or unusual items, we may ask you to declare them in advance so we can confirm they are appropriately covered or advise if additional arrangements are required.

What is included in your man and a van service?

Our standard service includes a professional driver-mover, a fully equipped van, loading, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We bring blankets, straps and basic tools for minor furniture dismantling if agreed beforehand. Optional extras include additional movers, packing services, packing materials and furniture assembly. We do not typically disconnect appliances, handle hazardous items or move goods we have not agreed to in advance. During your enquiry, we will confirm exactly what is and is not included in your booking.

How is this different from a casual man-and-van hire?

With us, you are hiring a trained removals team operating under a proper company structure, not an informal side job. We provide written confirmations, agreed arrival windows and clear pricing. Our staff are trained in handling furniture and fragile items, and we are fully insured for goods in transit and public liability. We also have the right equipment, from moving blankets to trolleys and straps. All of this greatly reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings compared with a casual, unregulated man-and-van arrangement.

How far in advance should I book?

Ideally, book as soon as you know your moving date, especially for Fridays, weekends and month-ends, which are our busiest times. For straightforward local jobs on quieter days, a few days’ notice is often enough, but more notice gives you a better choice of time slots. If you are unsure of your exact date, we can sometimes pencil you in and confirm closer to the time. We will always be honest about availability so you can plan realistically and avoid last-minute stress.

• Office items – desks, filing cabinets, archive boxes, small safes

Items Normally Excluded

For safety, legal or insurance reasons, we normally cannot move:

• Hazardous materials – gas bottles, fuel, chemicals, paint thinners
• Illegal or restricted items
• Live animals (including aquariums with water and livestock)
• Valuables such as cash, jewellery, important documents (we advise you to carry these yourself)
• Heavy industrial equipment beyond safe manual handling limits

If you are unsure about a particular item, we are happy to advise in advance.

Our Step-by-Step Flat Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online form with your move details. We’ll ask about property type, floor level, lift access, parking and the volume of items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with a detailed breakdown of what’s included.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most flat removals in Ealing, we carry out a virtual survey via video call or photos. For larger or more complex properties, we may visit in person. The survey allows us to check access, identify any difficult items and plan the right number of trained movers and vehicles.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – we supply all materials and pack everything carefully for you
• Part packing – we handle fragile or bulky items; you pack the rest
• Movers only – you pack; we protect furniture and load

On moving day we use protective covers, blankets and, where appropriate, floor and door protection in communal areas.

4. Loading & Transport

Our team arrives on time, introduces themselves and walks through the plan with you. We:

• Load items in a safe, logical order
• Secure everything inside the vehicle to avoid movement in transit
• Use suitable lifting techniques and equipment to protect both staff and belongings

Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance during the journey.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new flat we unload items to the rooms you specify, reassemble furniture we dismantled, and position larger pieces so you can settle in faster. Before leaving, we do a final walk-through with you to ensure nothing is missing or misplaced.

Transparent Flat Removals Pricing in Ealing

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

• Volume of goods and number of rooms
• Floor level and lift access
• Distance between properties
• Parking and access complexity
• Required services – e.g. packing, dismantling, storage

We provide either a fixed price for the agreed scope or a clear hourly rate structure where appropriate. There are no hidden extras – any potential additional charges (for example, for waiting time due to key delays) are explained in advance.

Why Choose Professional Flat Removals Over DIY?

Moving yourself or relying on a casual man-with-a-van may seem cheaper, but it often leads to:

• Injury risks from incorrect lifting
• Damage to belongings or communal areas
• Delays due to poor planning or wrong vehicle size
• Issues with building management if rules are not followed

With Ealing Man and Van you get:

• Trained, professional movers using proper equipment
• Fully insured service for peace of mind
• Experienced coordination of timings, access and parking
• A reliable team that turns up when agreed and stays until the job is done properly

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings and property are protected throughout your move. We carry:

• Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are being transported
• Public liability insurance for accidental damage to third-party property or injury

Our moving teams are trained in manual handling, packing techniques and safe loading. We regularly maintain our vehicles and equipment and follow industry best practice for domestic removals.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every flat as if it were our own. That means:

• Using covers and blankets to protect furniture and surfaces
• Taking care in stairwells and lifts to avoid scuffs and scratches
• Planning moves to reduce unnecessary trips and fuel use
• Re-using and recycling packing materials where appropriate

Where possible, we can collect used boxes after your move so they can be re-used or recycled, helping to reduce waste.

Real-World Flat Removal Scenarios We Handle

Moving Between Flats in Ealing

Typical local moves within Ealing or nearby areas, often completed in a single day, including dismantling and reassembly of beds and wardrobes.

Office or Studio Relocations

Relocating small businesses from a flat or studio space, carefully handling IT, files and specialist equipment with minimal downtime.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Where our schedule allows, we accommodate same-day or next-day flat removals, helping tenants and landlords meet tight deadlines and notice periods.

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, floor level, access, distance and any extra services such as packing or dismantling. Smaller studio or one-bedroom flat moves within Ealing are often completed in half a day, while larger two- or three-bedroom properties may take longer and require a larger team. After a short consultation and, if needed, a survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you will pay before you book.

Can you do same-day or urgent flat removals?

Where our schedule allows, we can accommodate same-day or short-notice flat removals in Ealing and surrounding areas. Availability will depend on the size of your move, team capacity and vehicle scheduling for that day. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with your details. We will let you know realistically what we can do, provide a rapid quotation and, if agreed, prioritise the key tasks to ensure a safe and timely relocation.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, and public liability insurance for accidental damage to third-party property or injury. Our team is trained to minimise the risk of incidents, using appropriate packing, lifting and securing methods. We will explain the main terms, including any limits or exclusions, when you book. For particularly valuable or unusual items, we recommend discussing them with us in advance so we can confirm appropriate cover.

What’s included in your flat removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, safe transport and unloading of your belongings between addresses, plus basic protection of furniture with blankets and covers. We place items into the rooms you specify and handle reasonable dismantling and reassembly of standard furniture where agreed. You can add optional services such as full or partial packing, supply of packing materials, and short- or long-term storage. All of this will be confirmed in your written quotation so you know exactly what is and isn’t included before moving day.

How is a professional removal different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service usually provides transport and basic lifting only, often without formal training or insurance. Our professional flat removals service includes trained staff, fully insured operations, proper planning, protective materials, and a structured process from survey to final placement of furniture. We consider building rules, access, timing and safety, and we take responsibility for the move from start to finish. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs, giving you a smoother, more reliable experience.

How far in advance should I book my flat removal?

For the best choice of dates and times, especially at month-end and weekends, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance. However, we understand that move dates can change, particularly with property chains, so we aim to be as flexible as possible. If you need to move sooner, contact us – we often have midweek or short-notice availability. Once you accept our quote, we confirm your booking in writing so you can plan the rest of your move with confidence.

Student Removals

Student Removals in Ealing by Ealing Man and Van

Moving to or from university accommodation can be stressful, especially when you are trying to juggle deadlines, exams, and new surroundings. At Ealing Man and Van, we provide straightforward, affordable student removals in Ealing, designed around the way students actually live and move.

What Our Student Removals Service Includes

Our student removals service is a streamlined version of our full home removal, tailored to smaller loads, shared houses and term-time moves. Whether you are moving into halls, between house shares, or home for the summer, we handle the heavy lifting so you do not have to.

Typical items we move for students

• Suitcases, clothes, shoes and personal belongings
• Desks, chairs, bookshelves and small furniture
• Bedding, kitchenware and small appliances (microwaves, kettles, etc.)
• Computer equipment, monitors, TVs and gaming consoles
• Course books, folders, artwork and portfolios
• Bikes, sports equipment and musical instruments

We can provide packing and unpacking support if needed, or simply arrive, load and transport your already packed boxes quickly and safely.

Who Our Service Is For

While this page focuses on student moves, our service is flexible enough to support a wide range of clients in and around Ealing:

• Homeowners – Students returning to the family home with a van-load of belongings after uni.
• Renters – Young professionals moving on from student accommodation into private rented homes.
• Landlords – End-of-tenancy clearances and room-to-room moves between properties.
• Businesses – Small office moves for student-focused businesses and start-ups.
• Students – Local, national or London-wide moves to halls, studios or shared houses.

From a single room in halls to a full shared house, we adapt the number of movers and size of vehicle to match your move, keeping costs sensible and service efficient.

Local Expertise in Ealing and West London

Based in Ealing, we know the local area, campuses and student housing areas extremely well. That means we can plan your move around:

• Busy roads such as Uxbridge Road, Ealing Broadway and surrounding junctions
• Loading restrictions near halls and private blocks
• Resident parking zones and time limits
• Peak times around term start and end

Our local knowledge helps avoid delays, parking issues and last‑minute surprises. We coordinate access with halls or building management where required and keep you informed throughout.

What Is Excluded from Student Removals?

To keep your move safe, legal and efficient, there are some items we cannot carry, or may need prior notice for:

• Hazardous materials (gas bottles, fuel, chemicals, fireworks)
• Illegal substances or items
• Unboxed loose liquids or open food
• Heavy industrial equipment or machinery
• Large pianos or specialist items without prior agreement

If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask when you enquire. We will confirm what we can take, and where needed, arrange specialist handling for fragile or high‑value belongings such as instruments or computer equipment.

Our Step-by-Step Student Removals Process

1. Enquiry & quote

Contact us by phone, email or online with your addresses, preferred dates, and a rough list of belongings. We will give you a clear, no-obligation fixed or hourly quote based on your load size, access and travel distance. No hidden extras, and we will explain any possible additional charges (such as congestion or parking) in advance.

2. Survey (virtual or onsite)

For most student removals in Ealing, a quick virtual survey via photos, video call or a detailed list is enough. For larger house shares or combined moves with housemates, we can arrange an onsite visit. This helps us choose the right vehicle, number of movers and estimate time accurately.

3. Packing & preparation

You can either pack your belongings yourself, or book our professional packing service. If you pack yourself, we will provide guidance on boxes, labels and how to protect fragile items. On moving day, our team will bring blankets, straps, and equipment to safeguard your items during loading and transit.

4. Loading & transport

On the day, our trained team arrives on time, introduces themselves and confirms the plan. We carefully load your belongings, protecting banisters, doors and communal areas. Everything is secured in the van using straps and blankets to reduce movement and prevent damage. We then transport your goods directly to your new address, or to multiple drops if agreed in advance.

5. Unloading & placement

On arrival, we unload your belongings to the rooms you specify – not just dumped at the door. We place boxes where they are easiest for you to unpack, and assemble any furniture we disassembled for transport. Before leaving, we will walk through with you to ensure you are satisfied and nothing has been left behind on the vehicle.

Transparent Pricing for Student Removals

We know students are often working to tight budgets. Our pricing is clear, competitive and designed to avoid nasty surprises. We offer:

• Hourly rates for small local moves and part-loads
• Fixed-price quotes for longer-distance or larger moves
• Options to share a van with housemates where practical

Prices are based on:

• Volume of belongings and size of vehicle needed
• Number of movers required
• Distance between addresses
• Access issues (stairs only, long walks, restricted parking)

We will always explain the cost breakdown in plain language and confirm everything in writing before the move.

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

Hiring a cheap, casual van or roping in friends can seem tempting but often leads to stress, damage and delays. With Ealing Man and Van you benefit from:

• Professional handling of your belongings, including fragile electronics and valuables
• Fully insured cover for your goods while in our care
• Trained movers who know how to lift safely and protect buildings
• Reliable timekeeping – we turn up when we say we will
• Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools

This often works out better value when you factor in hire van costs, fuel, parking, time off work, and the risk of damaging your belongings or injuring yourself.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, whether it is a laptop full of coursework or a musical instrument you rely on. We operate to professional standards and back this up with appropriate cover:

• Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles.
• Public liability cover – for peace of mind in communal hallways, stairwells and shared buildings.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced, carefully selected and instructed in safe lifting, packing and transport techniques.

We treat each move with the same care and attention, whether you are moving a room or a full flat.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We believe in moving responsibly – for your belongings, your building and the environment.

• Use of reusable furniture blankets and protective covers
• Thoughtful loading to minimise risk of damage
• Careful handling in tight stairwells and communal areas
• Route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage where possible
• Re-use of good quality boxes and materials where appropriate

Where requested, we can remove unwanted items for recycling or donation, helping you clear clutter without waste.

Real-World Student Removal Scenarios

Moving into halls for the first time

We regularly help first-year students move from the family home into halls in and around Ealing. We handle the loading and parking so your family can focus on settling you in and exploring the area.

End-of-year move from house share

At the end of a tenancy, we can move you and, if required, your housemates, either to new accommodation or back home. Coordinated trips and clear pricing keep the process manageable and fair.

Urgent or last-minute moves

Sometimes plans change – you may need to move quickly due to a change of course, new tenancy dates or unforeseen issues. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or short-notice student removals in Ealing and across London.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a student removal in Ealing cost?

Costs vary depending on how much you have, the distance travelled and access at each address. For small local student moves, we usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, which often works out cheaper than hiring a van yourself once fuel and deposits are included. For longer journeys or larger loads, we can provide a fixed-price quote in advance. Share as much detail as you can when you enquire so we can give you an accurate, transparent price.

Can you do same-day or urgent student moves?

Yes, we often support same-day or short-notice moves, especially during busy student periods when plans can change suddenly. Availability will depend on our existing bookings and the size of your move, but we will always try to help. Contact us as soon as you know you need to move, and have your addresses and a rough inventory ready. If we cannot fit you in at your ideal time, we will offer the nearest available slot and explain any time constraints clearly.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, and public liability insurance for work in and around properties. This cover is designed for normal household and student items that are sensibly packed and declared to us. Very high-value or unusual items may require specific notification or additional cover. We will explain the key terms of our insurance when you book, so you understand exactly what is and is not covered.

What is included in your student removals service?

Our standard service includes the vehicle, fuel, a professional moving team, protective equipment and transport between your addresses. We will load your boxed belongings and furniture, secure them for transit and unload them into designated rooms at the other end. On request, we can add packing, unpacking, dismantling and reassembly of simple furniture. Parking fees, congestion charges and additional drop-offs are not automatically included but will be discussed and itemised in your quote beforehand so you know where you stand.

What is the difference between your removals service and a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van may just provide a driver and a vehicle, with limited help, no formal training and sometimes no proper insurance. Our removals service provides a trained team, suitable equipment, careful loading and clear communication from start to finish. We are fully insured, work to professional standards and take responsibility for your belongings while they are in our care. In many cases, the total cost is similar, but the experience, reliability and protection you receive are significantly better.

How far in advance should I book my student move?

For peak student times – especially late summer, early autumn and end-of-term periods – we recommend booking at least two weeks in advance to secure your preferred date and time. That said, we understand that student plans can change, so we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests where possible. The more notice you give us, the easier it is to keep costs down and timings flexible. If your dates are not fixed yet, we can give you a guide quote and pencil in provisional options.

Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or our online form with your moving dates, addresses and a brief outline of what you need to move. We will ask a few questions to understand access, property size and any special items. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote detailing what is included.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything beyond a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Ealing. We walk through each room with you, note furniture, quantities of boxes and any access challenges like narrow staircases or low ceilings. This allows us to allocate the right vehicle, crew size and time, and to give you a realistic price.

3. Packing & Preparation

Depending on your chosen service, we can either supply packing materials for you to pack yourself, or our professional packers can handle it for you. We label boxes clearly by room to make unloading easier. Fragile items are wrapped and cushioned, and furniture can be dismantled where necessary. We also plan the load order so essential items are accessible first at your new home.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our team arrives on time, carries out a quick walk-through, and then begins loading systematically. Floors and banisters are protected where needed. Items are secured in the vehicle using straps and padding to minimise movement in transit. We follow pre-planned routes, taking into account traffic and access, and remain in contact if there are any delays.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload in an organised way, placing furniture and boxes into the correct rooms as labelled. Where agreed, we reassemble beds and other furniture and position larger pieces where you want them. Before leaving, we invite you to walk through and check that everything has been delivered and is in the right place.

Transparent Pricing for House Removals in Ealing

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are typically based on:

• Volume of items and size of property
• Distance between addresses
• Access conditions (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
• Services required (packing, dismantling, storage)
• Day and time (weekends or evenings may differ)

You will receive a written quote outlining what is included, any optional services and how long we expect the move to take. If your requirements change before moving day, we simply update the quote so everything remains clear.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals company like Ealing Man and Van offers several advantages over DIY or casual man-with-a-van options:

• Safety – correct lifting techniques and equipment reduce the risk of injury.
• Protection – your belongings are packed, wrapped and secured properly.
• Efficiency – an experienced team completes moves faster and with fewer trips.
• Reliability – confirmed bookings, written agreements and arrival windows.
• Insurance – proper cover for your goods and the properties involved.

While DIY may seem cheaper at first glance, once you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work, equipment and the risk of damage, a professional service often represents better overall value.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, and so is your peace of mind. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance – covering your items while they are being transported.
• Public liability cover – protection in case of accidental damage to property or third parties.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in handling heavy, awkward and fragile items safely.

We follow recognised industry best practices for wrapping, loading and securing goods, and we are happy to explain how we plan to protect specific items if you have concerns.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move with care. Furniture is wrapped and protected as needed, and we always look for the safest lifting and carrying route, even if it takes a bit longer. Where possible, we reuse durable packing materials and offer reusable crates for certain moves, helping to cut down on waste. Cardboard boxes and paper are sourced from responsible suppliers, and we aim to minimise unnecessary journeys to reduce fuel usage.

Real-World Use Cases

Family Moving to a Larger Home

A growing family in Ealing needed to move from a two-bedroom flat to a three-bedroom house locally. We carried out a full packing service, dismantled and reassembled beds and wardrobes, and completed the move in one day with minimal disruption to their routine.

Small Office Relocation

A local business moved from a home office to a dedicated workspace. We transported desks, filing cabinets, IT equipment and stock, working outside normal hours to avoid interrupting their operations.

Urgent Same-Week Move

A tenant given short notice to vacate needed a quick, reliable move. We organised a virtual survey the same day, scheduled the move within the week, and provided packing materials for a self-pack service to keep costs manageable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Ealing cost?

The cost of a house removal in Ealing depends mainly on the volume of your belongings, the distance between properties, and the level of service you choose. A small flat move will naturally cost less than a fully packed four-bedroom house move. Access issues such as stairs, lack of parking or long carries can also affect the price. After a short discussion and, where appropriate, a survey, we provide a clear, fixed quote so you know exactly what to budget for.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves, especially for smaller properties or part-loads, but availability depends on our existing bookings. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early in the day as possible with your details and we will check our schedule. Even for urgent jobs we still aim to understand your inventory and access so we bring the right vehicle and team. Where we cannot meet your preferred time, we will offer the nearest practical alternative.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your items are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicle, and we also hold public liability cover for any accidental damage to property. Insurance has certain terms and limits, which we are happy to explain before you book. We also take practical steps to protect your belongings, including careful packing, use of blankets and straps, and trained handling techniques. For particularly high-value or specialist items, we can discuss additional cover or specific handling methods.

What is included in a typical house removals service?

A typical house removal includes collection from your current address, loading by our professional team, safe transport and unloading into the correct rooms at your new home. We provide the removal vehicle, labour, blankets and securing equipment as standard. Many customers add services such as packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and supply of boxes and packing materials. During your quote, we will set out exactly what is included so there are no surprises, and you can choose the level of help that suits your needs and budget.

What is the difference between your removals service and a basic man-and-van?

A basic man-and-van service usually focuses on transport only, with limited labour, equipment and planning. Our removals service is a structured, fully managed move. We carry out surveys, plan vehicle size and routes, provide a trained crew, use professional packing and protection methods, and include appropriate insurance. We also offer packing, dismantling, reassembly and room-by-room placement. In short, you are paying not just for a van, but for experience, organisation and care, which reduces the risk of damage, delays and last-minute problems.

How far in advance should I book my move?

Ideally, you should book your removal as soon as you have a likely moving date, particularly if you are moving at the end of the month or during peak times such as summer. Two to four weeks’ notice is usually comfortable for most house moves, allowing time for surveys and packing arrangements. However, we understand that exchange and completion dates can change at short notice, so we always try to be flexible. Even if your date is uncertain, it is helpful to speak with us early so we can pencil in provisional plans.

Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Moving a full house or just upgrading furniture? We regularly move complete households, high-value furniture, and awkward items such as American-style fridge freezers and large corner sofas.

Renters

If you are moving between rented properties in or around Ealing, we can move your furniture and boxes quickly and carefully, keeping landlords and inventories happy by protecting floors, walls and stairwells.

Landlords

We help landlords clear or re-furnish properties between tenancies. That might be removing old furniture, delivering new furniture, or reorganising items between properties.

Businesses

From small offices to retail spaces, we handle office furniture removals and internal reshuffles. We work to agreed time windows to minimise disruption to your staff and customers.

Students

Students moving into or out of halls and shared houses in and around Ealing can book us for compact, budget-conscious moves. We are used to tight access, limited parking and top-floor rooms.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

• Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds

If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask when you enquire. In many cases, we can help with special handling so long as we plan for it properly.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or email with the basics: addresses, access details, what needs moving and your preferred date. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume, distance and level of service required.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a small move, we recommend a quick video call or onsite survey in Ealing. This lets us check access, parking, staircases and lifts, and confirm exactly what is being moved. It means no surprises on the day and a more accurate fixed price.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can either pack your own smaller items or ask us to include packing services. For furniture-only moves, we focus on preparation: protecting delicate surfaces, dismantling large items where needed and safely wrapping glass, mirrors and polished wood.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our trained team arrives on time with the right size van and all necessary equipment. We protect floors and bannisters, then carefully load items in a logical order to maximise space and minimise movement during transport.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload and place furniture in the rooms you specify. Where agreed, we reassemble beds and other dismantled items. Before we leave, we do a final walk-through with you to ensure everything is where it should be.

Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals in Ealing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our furniture removals are typically priced based on:

• Volume and number of items
• Distance between properties
• Access and any parking challenges
• Number of movers required
• Optional extras such as packing or dismantling

For smaller jobs, we may use a simple hourly rate with a minimum booking period. For larger moves, we provide a fixed price quote so you know exactly what you will pay before you commit.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals company like Ealing Man and Van offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual, unregulated service:

• Proper protection – padded covers, straps and blankets to avoid damage
• Safety – trained lifting techniques reduce the risk of injury
• Efficiency – experienced teams know how to load and move quickly
• Insurance – your furniture is covered, unlike most DIY moves
• Reliability – confirmed booking, written terms and full contact details

Cheaper, unregulated man-and-van operators can appear attractive, but they often lack proper insurance, training and equipment, which can prove very costly if something goes wrong.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously and work to professional standards on every job. Our service includes:

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your furniture while it is being moved
• Public liability cover – protection for your property and third parties
• Trained moving teams – staff trained in safe handling and loading

We are happy to explain our cover in detail and provide confirmation of insurance on request. Your belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We handle every item with care, from flat-pack units to heirloom furniture. Our teams use:

• Protective blankets, mattress covers and floor runners
• Straps and trolleys for heavy or bulky items
• Careful dismantling and reassembly where needed

We also aim to work as sustainably as practical by reusing sturdy packing materials where appropriate, planning routes efficiently, and maintaining our vehicles to reduce unnecessary emissions. When disposing of unwanted furniture, we use licensed waste and recycling facilities.

Real-World Use Cases

Moving House within Ealing

Families moving between areas such as West Ealing, Hanwell and Pitshanger often have a mix of large furniture and personal belongings. We plan the move to minimise disruption, keep children and pets safe, and protect both properties.

Office Relocation

Local businesses upgrading or downsizing office space rely on us to move desks, chairs, IT stands and storage without damaging equipment or premises. We can work outside usual office hours by arrangement.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Last-minute tenancy changes and urgent furniture deliveries are common in Ealing. When our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day slots to help you deal with unexpected changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does furniture removal in Ealing cost?

Costs vary depending on the number and size of items, distance, access and how many movers are required. Smaller jobs, such as a few pieces of furniture within Ealing, are often charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time. Larger house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote after we have assessed what is involved. This way, you know the exact cost in advance. Contact us with a list of items and addresses, and we will provide a clear, no-obligation estimate.

Can you provide same-day or urgent furniture removals?

Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice furniture removals in and around Ealing. Availability depends on the size of the job, distance and existing bookings. For urgent moves, it helps if you can send photos or a quick item list so we can confirm vehicle size and team requirements immediately. We will always be honest about what is realistic and, if we cannot assist at the time you need, we may be able to suggest the nearest alternative slot.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved in our vehicles, and our public liability cover protects against accidental damage to property and third parties. Insurance operates under specific terms and conditions, which we are happy to explain before you book. We always encourage customers to mention any especially valuable or fragile items in advance so we can plan additional protection or confirm whether separate specialist cover is advisable.

What is included in your furniture removals service?

Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, protective equipment, loading, transport and unloading to the rooms you specify. We protect floors and bannisters where needed and secure items properly in the van. Optional extras include packing of smaller items, dismantling and reassembly of larger furniture, and supply of packing materials. We will confirm exactly what is included on your written quote so that expectations are clear and there are no surprises on move day.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

While some man-and-van operators do a good job, many work without proper insurance, training or equipment. We operate as a professional removals company, with fully insured vehicles, trained staff, and planned moves. We assess access in advance, use appropriate protective materials, and provide written quotes and booking confirmations. This reduces the risk of damage, delays or last-minute cancellations. In short, you gain accountability, protection and a smoother, more reliable experience than with most casual services.

How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?

For larger house or office moves in Ealing, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday or at month-end, when demand is highest. For smaller or local jobs, we can sometimes accommodate bookings with only a few days' notice. The earlier you contact us, the more flexible we can be with dates and times. If you have a fixed completion date, it is wise to reserve your slot as soon as your plans are confirmed.

Same day Removals

Same day Removals Ealing

At Ealing Man and Van, we specialise in efficient, well-organised same day removals across Ealing and the surrounding areas. Whether you have been let down by another mover, need to be out of a property today, or have a last-minute business move, we provide a calm, professional service when the pressure is on.

Same Day Removals in Ealing – How We Help

Same day moves demand quick decisions, clear communication, and an organised team. We provide:

• Rapid response for urgent moves within Ealing
• Reliable arrival windows and clear communication
• Trained local crews who move quickly but carefully
• Fully insured vehicles and staff for peace of mind

We handle everything from a few bulky items to full flats, houses and small offices. Our local knowledge of Ealing means we can plan routes and parking efficiently, even at the last minute.

Local Expertise in Ealing

Based in Ealing, we know the borough’s streets, parking restrictions and building layouts inside out. From Victorian terraces and mansion blocks to modern developments, we understand the access challenges and how to manage them on a tight timescale.

We regularly carry out urgent moves across areas including Ealing Broadway, West Ealing, Northfields, Hanwell and surrounding neighbourhoods. This local experience helps us:

• Estimate access and loading times accurately
• Plan routes to avoid bottlenecks and delays
• Work smoothly with concierge, building managers and neighbours

Who Our Same Day Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

If your completion date moves unexpectedly or your original removals firm cancels, we can often step in on the same day. We’ll prioritise key items – beds, sofas, white goods and essentials – so your new home is immediately usable.

Renters

We regularly help tenants facing end-of-tenancy deadlines, sudden notices or overlap issues between rentals. We can move full flats or just the larger items you cannot manage alone, working around lift restrictions, parking bays and tight stairwells.

Landlords

For landlords needing a property cleared quickly after a tenancy ends, we offer fast, respectful removals of furniture and belongings, with clear separation of reusable items and waste for responsible disposal where required.

Businesses

We support small businesses and offices across Ealing with urgent relocations, short-notice internal moves, or the rapid removal of equipment and stock. We work efficiently to minimise downtime and disruption.

Students

Students in Ealing halls and shared houses often need last-minute help at the end of term or when changing accommodation. We offer cost-effective, compact same day removals for rooms and shared flats, including transport to storage if needed.

What We Can Move on a Same Day Removal

Included Items

We can safely move most household and office items, including:

• Sofas, armchairs, beds and wardrobes
• Tables, desks, filing cabinets and office furniture
• Washing machines, fridges, freezers and other appliances
• TVs, computers, monitors and standard electronics
• Boxed personal belongings, books, clothes and kitchenware
• Bagged linen, soft furnishings and small furniture

Excluded or Restricted Items

For safety, legality and insurance reasons, some items are excluded or need prior agreement:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas cylinders, chemicals, paint thinners)
• Illegal or contraband items
• Unsecured very high-value items (e.g. fine art, jewellery, large safes) without notice
• Animals or live plants in poor condition
• Heavy industrial machinery outside normal manual handling limits

If you are unsure about a particular item, please mention it when you contact us – we will advise what is possible and any special arrangements required.

Our Step-by-Step Same Day Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Call or message us with the basics: addresses, access notes, size of property and what must be moved today. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on your list, timings and distance. For urgent moves, we respond as quickly as possible and confirm availability there and then.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For same day work, we typically carry out a rapid virtual survey using photos or a video call. This lets us assess parking, staircases, lifts and item sizes so we send the right van size and team. For larger or more complex moves, we may arrange a swift onsite visit if time allows.

3. Packing & Preparation

On arrival, we walk through the property with you to confirm what is going and what is staying. We protect key items with covers, blankets and wrapping. If you have pre-packed boxes, we will arrange them for safe loading. Where agreed, we can provide basic packing and dismantling of straightforward furniture, time permitting.

4. Loading & Transport

Our professional team loads methodically, securing items to prevent movement in transit. We use straps, blankets and floor protection where required. We then transport your belongings using efficient local routes across Ealing and beyond, keeping you informed of timings throughout.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address or storage facility, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble simple furniture previously taken apart and will always check you are satisfied with placement before we leave. We aim to leave you ready to use the space straight away.

Transparent Pricing for Same Day Removals

Same day work involves tighter scheduling and fast deployment, but our pricing remains clear and fair. We usually charge based on:

• Size of vehicle and number of movers required
• Estimated total hours, including travel
• Distance between properties
• Access complexity (stairs, long carries, parking issues)

You will receive a straightforward price breakdown before you confirm the booking. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional charges (for example, late-night work, congestion charges or extended waiting time caused by third parties) are explained in advance wherever possible.

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

When a move is urgent, it can be tempting to grab the first cheap option available. However, using a professional removals service brings clear advantages, especially on the same day:

• Trained staff who know how to move heavy and fragile items safely
• Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools
• Planned loading that reduces the risk of damage
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Reliable timings and documented bookings

DIY moves or informal man-and-van services often lack insurance, may not turn up on time, and can result in injury or damage. Our service is designed to remove that uncertainty, even when the move is arranged at short notice.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take responsibility for your belongings seriously. Ealing Man and Van operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while they are in our care
• Public liability cover for work in and around your property
• Trained moving teams who follow safe handling procedures

Our crews are briefed on every job, including any fragile, high-value or awkward items. We encourage customers to highlight anything of particular concern so we can give it extra protection and attention.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Even on a same day move, care is never rushed. We use padded blankets, mattress protectors and appropriate wrapping to safeguard your furniture and floors. We aim to minimise waste by:

• Reusing durable packing materials where hygienic and appropriate
• Encouraging customers to use reusable crates and existing boxes
• Planning routes to reduce unnecessary mileage
• Separating reusable items from true waste on clearance-style jobs

Our goal is to provide a service that is not only efficient and reliable but also considerate of your belongings, your property and the wider environment.

Real-World Same Day Removals Use Cases

Emergency House Move

A chain change or unforeseen issue can mean you need to move earlier than expected. We can prioritise essential rooms and key furniture so your new home becomes functional within hours.

Office Relocation at Short Notice

When a lease ends or a commercial landlord needs you to vacate quickly, we can relocate desks, chairs, IT equipment and stock to your new premises or temporary storage with minimal downtime.

Urgent Partial Moves and Single Items

From collecting a large sofa that will not fit in a car to clearing a room for emergency works or repairs, we regularly handle smaller urgent jobs. The same professional standards apply, whatever the size of the move.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a same day removal in Ealing cost?

Costs vary depending on how much needs moving, the distance between addresses, and how complex the access is. A small, local flat move may only require a single van and two movers for a few hours, while a larger house or office could need a bigger crew for most of the day. Once we know the details, we provide a clear, itemised quote before you commit, so you understand exactly what is included and can avoid any surprises.

Can you always offer same day or urgent availability?

We do our best to accommodate same day requests, especially within Ealing, but availability depends on existing bookings, crew numbers and the size of your move. Smaller jobs are usually easier to fit in at short notice. The earlier in the day you contact us, the better the chance we can help. If we cannot complete the full move today, we may still be able to move essential items and schedule the remainder as a follow-up.

Are my belongings insured during a same day move?

Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles, and we hold public liability cover for work at your property. As with all insurance, there are terms, limits and exclusions, which we can explain on request. We always recommend that particularly valuable or fragile items are highlighted in advance so we can discuss the best way to protect them and any additional precautions you may wish to take.

What is included in your same day removals service?

Our standard service includes the vehicle, professional movers, protective blankets, basic disassembly/assembly of straightforward furniture by prior agreement, loading, transport and unloading into specified rooms. We can also help organise items for you as we go. Packing materials and full packing services can be provided where time allows and are usually costed separately. During an urgent move, we focus on safe handling and efficiency, while still aiming to place items where you can quickly make use of your new space.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

We operate as a structured removals company rather than a casual man-and-van. That means trained staff, appropriate equipment, fully insured vehicles, and a clear booking and quoting process. We plan each move, however last-minute, rather than simply turning up and hoping for the best. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings. You also have the reassurance of dealing with an established local business that is accountable for its work and committed to professional standards.

How far in advance should I book, if possible?

For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, especially for larger homes or offices, and particularly at busy times such as month-end or weekends. However, we understand that not every move can be planned. If you do need a same day removals service in Ealing, contact us as early as you can on the day. The more notice we have, even if it is only a few hours, the easier it is for us to allocate the right team and vehicles for your move.

Whether you are moving a single item across town or a full flat across London, you will deal with an experienced removals professional who understands how to move your belongings safely, efficiently and with minimum stress.

We are a local team, based in and around Ealing, so we know the best routes, parking restrictions and building access quirks that can make the difference between a smooth move and a difficult one.

Who Our Man and Van Service Is For

Our service is designed to be flexible, convenient and cost-effective for a wide range of customers in Ealing and the surrounding areas:

• Homeowners – Ideal for small house moves, partial moves, renovations, and taking items into or out of storage.
• Renters – Perfect for flat and maisonette moves, short-notice relocations and end-of-tenancy clear-outs.
• Landlords – Support with furniture moves between properties, clearing items after tenants, and delivering new furnishings.
• Businesses – Office furniture moves, IT equipment transport, shop fittings and regular delivery support.
• Students – Affordable moves to and from halls or shared houses, including term-time storage runs.

Whether you are moving a few boxes or an entire small property, our man and van in Ealing gives you professional help without the cost of a full-scale removals crew.

What Our Man and Van Service Includes

Our Ealing Man and Van service is more than just a driver with a van. You get a structured, professional moving service with:

• Clean, well-maintained vehicles equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys.
• Trained moving staff used to handling furniture, appliances and delicate items.
• Help with loading and unloading as standard (number of porters agreed in advance).
• Careful placement of items in the right rooms at your new address.
• Optional packing service if you would like us to pack your belongings.
• Optional supply of boxes, tape, bubble wrap and packing materials.

Typical Items We Move

We can safely handle most household and office items, including:

• Bed frames, mattresses, wardrobes and chests of drawers
• Sofas, armchairs, dining tables and chairs
• Fridges, freezers, washing machines and other white goods
• TVs, computers, monitors and audio equipment
• Boxes, suitcases, bags and plastic crates
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and boxed archives

Items We Cannot Move

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we normally cannot carry within our man and van service:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, paint thinners, chemicals)
• Illegal items or anything that breaches UK law
• Unprotected liquids that may leak and damage other goods
• Live animals (including pets) – these must travel with you
• Industrial machinery beyond the capacity of a Luton or panel van

If you are unsure about a particular item, just ask when you contact us and we will confirm what is possible and what solutions we can offer.

Our Step-by-Step Man and Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact Ealing Man and Van by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your move: addresses, access (stairs, lifts, parking), inventory, dates and timing. Based on this information, we will provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually on a fixed-price or hourly basis depending on the size and complexity of the job.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most man and van jobs, a detailed written inventory or photos are enough. For larger moves, or where access is tricky, we may recommend a quick video call or an onsite visit in Ealing to check parking, stairwells and any particularly heavy or fragile items. This helps us send the right size van, the right number of movers and an accurate price.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose to pack yourself or use our professional packing service. If you pack yourself, we provide guidance on labelling boxes and protecting fragile items. If we are packing, we will arrive with all materials, carefully wrap breakables, and prepare furniture (for example, disassembling beds or removing table legs where appropriate) to ensure everything travels safely.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives at the agreed time, introduces themselves and walks through the property with you. We protect items using covers, blankets and straps, then load the van in a structured order to keep your belongings secure in transit. As a local Ealing company, we plan routes in advance to avoid unnecessary delays and low bridges and to respect any time restrictions on your road.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new address, we unload everything carefully, placing furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify. We can reassemble items we dismantled, position white goods, and make sure pathways are kept clear. Before we leave, we invite you to check the van is empty and confirm you are happy with where everything has been placed.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in clear and straightforward pricing for our Ealing man and van service. We typically charge on either:

• Hourly rates – Suitable for smaller or flexible moves within a short distance.
• Fixed-price quotes – Ideal when the inventory and distances are well defined.

Your quote will clearly state what is included – van size, number of movers, estimated duration, mileage, and any additional services such as packing or disposal. There are no hidden extras; any potential additional costs (for example, congestion charge or extended waiting time beyond agreed terms) are explained before you book.

Why Choose a Professional Man and Van Over DIY

Hiring a professional man and van in Ealing costs less than a full removals crew but offers far more security and support than hiring a van and doing it yourself. With us, you benefit from:

• Fully insured transport of your belongings.
• Professional handling by experienced movers used to tight stairs and awkward furniture.
• Proper equipment – trolleys, blankets, straps and tools for dismantling.
• Planned routes, parking and timing to reduce stress and delays.

DIY moves often underestimate the time, lifting effort and risk of damage or injury. Our service gives you peace of mind and allows you to focus on everything else that comes with moving home or office.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Ealing Man and Van operates to the standards you would expect from a dedicated removals company, not just a casual side job. We maintain:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are in our care.
• Public liability cover for peace of mind in shared spaces, communal areas and business premises.
• Trained moving teams who understand lifting techniques, item protection and safe driving.

We treat your possessions as if they were our own, with clear communication from first enquiry to completion.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We approach every job in Ealing with care and respect for both your belongings and the local community. Furniture and appliances are wrapped in transit blankets, strapped securely, and handled using correct lifting techniques to minimise the risk of damage.

Where possible, we reuse sturdy cardboard boxes and packing materials, and we plan efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage. If you have unwanted furniture or items suitable for donation, we can often build that into the job, taking them to local charity shops or recycling centres by prior arrangement.

Real-World Man and Van Use Cases in Ealing

• Moving house – Ideal for one- and two-bedroom properties, or for splitting a larger move over several trips.
• Office relocation – Moving desks, chairs and IT equipment between Ealing offices or into co-working spaces.
• Urgent moves – Short-notice relocations due to tenancy changes, job moves or relationship changes.
• Student moves – Start- and end-of-term runs between halls, shared houses and storage.
• Single-item transport – Sofas, wardrobes, pianos (subject to access), or large purchases from retailers and marketplaces.

Whatever your situation, we tailor our Ealing man and van service around your timings, access and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man and van service in Ealing cost?

Costs depend on the size of van required, the number of movers, distance between addresses and how long the job takes. Smaller local moves are often priced by the hour with a minimum booking period, while more complex moves may be quoted as a fixed price. To keep things fair, we ask a few questions about your inventory and access before quoting. There are no hidden extras: any congestion charge, parking costs or additional services are clearly set out in writing before you confirm your booking.

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

Yes, subject to availability. Because we are a local Ealing operator with multiple vehicles, we can often arrange same-day or next-day man and van bookings, especially for smaller jobs. The more notice you can give us, the better the chance of securing your preferred time slot and the most suitable van size. For urgent moves, call us rather than email so we can check real-time availability, discuss your requirements, and confirm a plan and price while you are on the phone.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Our man and van service includes goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being loaded, transported and unloaded, subject to our standard terms and conditions. We also hold public liability cover, which protects against damage to third-party property or injury caused by our work. We will explain the key points of cover when you book, including any limits or exclusions. For particularly high-value items, we recommend you highlight these in advance so we can advise on the best way to protect them.

What is included in your Ealing man and van service?

As standard, you receive a vehicle of suitable size, a professional driver, and at least one porter to help with loading and unloading, plus protective equipment such as blankets and straps. We move your items from room to van and into the correct rooms at your new address. Optional extras include packing services, supply of boxes and materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and drop-offs at storage or recycling centres. Everything that is included in your particular booking will be listed clearly in your written confirmation.

What is the difference between a removals service and a man and van?

Broadly, a traditional removals service is designed for full home or office moves, often involving multiple vehicles, a larger team, full packing, and more detailed planning. A man and van service offers a more flexible, cost-effective option for smaller moves, partial moves or single-item transport. With Ealing Man and Van, you still benefit from fully insured, trained professionals, but scaled to your needs. If your job grows beyond what a single van can handle, we can easily step up to a fuller removals-style service.

How far in advance should I book?

For weekend and month-end dates, we recommend booking your Ealing man and van at least one to two weeks ahead, as these are our busiest times. Midweek moves can often be arranged with shorter notice, especially outside of peak periods such as summer and university changeover dates. That said, we regularly handle short-notice and urgent jobs, so it is always worth contacting us even if your timescale is tight. Early booking simply gives you more choice of time slots and helps us plan the most efficient service for you.

Working in Ealing every day means we understand local roads, parking restrictions and building access issues. From conservation streets with tight access to busy main roads and controlled parking zones, we plan your move around local conditions.

We regularly help customers moving between areas such as Ealing Broadway, West Ealing, Northfields, South Ealing and beyond, so we know the best times to travel and the typical challenges in each neighbourhood.

Homeowners

Ideal for 1–3 bedroom properties, downsizing moves, or partial moves (for example, taking larger items to storage). We load, protect and place your furniture where you want it in your new home.

Renters

Perfect for flat and house moves where access, stairs and parking can be tricky. We work quickly and efficiently to minimise disruption and help you leave the property in good order.

Landlords

We assist landlords with clearances, furniture swaps between properties and preparing rentals for new tenants. We can remove old furniture and deliver replacement items in one coordinated job.

Businesses

Our removal van service is well suited to small office relocations, internal moves and moving individual workstations or stock. We keep downtime low with organised planning and labelled loading.

Students

Cost-effective moves for students relocating to or from Ealing, handling boxes, suitcases, desks, small appliances and bikes in a single, efficient trip.

What Our Removal Van Service Includes

Items Typically Included

• Sofas, armchairs, tables and chairs
• Beds, mattresses, wardrobes, chests of drawers
• White goods (fridges, freezers, washing machines – disconnected)
• TVs, audio equipment and small electronics (properly packed)
• Boxes, crates, bags and personal belongings
• Office desks, chairs, filing cabinets and IT equipment (packed and labelled)
• Bikes, sports equipment and garden furniture

Items We Generally Exclude

For safety and insurance reasons, we usually cannot move:

• Hazardous materials (paints, fuels, gas cylinders, chemicals)
• Illegal or restricted items
• Unsecured cash, jewellery or high-value personal documents
• Live animals or plants requiring special conditions
• Extremely heavy or specialist items without prior agreement (e.g. pianos, safes)

If you have any unusual or high-value items, let us know in advance so we can assess, plan and, where possible, accommodate them.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with key details: addresses, property type, approximate volume of items and preferred moving date. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give us and any photos or lists you can share.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a brief survey. This can be done virtually (video call, photos) or onsite in Ealing. The survey allows us to check access, stairs, parking and volume so we can allocate the right size removal van and team.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the day, or in advance if arranged, we can provide a packing service, supplying quality boxes and materials. If you are packing yourself, we offer guidance on how to pack safely and label boxes clearly so unloading and placement is efficient.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained team arrives on time, protects floors and key pathways where needed and begins loading systematically. Furniture is wrapped or covered with blankets and secured with straps inside the van. We then transport your goods directly to your new address using planned routes to avoid unnecessary delays.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload items into the rooms you specify, placing larger furniture where you want it. We work with you to ensure essentials are accessible and boxes are placed in the correct rooms to make your unpacking easier.

Transparent Pricing for Removal Van Hire in Ealing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Costs are based on:

• Size of van required
• Number of movers needed
• Distance between properties
• Access and complexity (stairs, lifts, long carries)
• Optional services such as packing, materials and storage

We provide a detailed written quote so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden charges for fuel or standard travel within our normal operating area. Any potential extra costs (for example, congestion or parking charges) are discussed with you in advance.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removal van with a trained team is very different from borrowing a van and asking friends for help. With a professional service you benefit from:

• Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and protect furniture properly
• Correct equipment – trolleys, ramps, straps and padding
• Efficient loading that makes best use of van space and reduces trips
• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
• Reduced risk of damage to your items and the property

DIY moves often take much longer than expected and can lead to breakages, injuries and stressed relationships. A professional removals team takes that pressure off you.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We operate to recognised industry standards and back our work with proper insurance:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while being moved
• Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties
• Trained moving teams with ongoing instruction in safe handling and customer care

We keep detailed records of each move, including inventories where required, and encourage you to highlight any particularly valuable or fragile items so we can give them extra protection.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Care for your belongings starts with proper preparation and the right materials. We use quality, reusable moving blankets, furniture covers and straps to secure items inside the van. Where possible, we minimise single-use plastics by reusing durable materials and offering box collection for reuse or recycling after your move.

We also plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use, and we maintain our vehicles regularly to keep them running efficiently and safely.

Real-World Use Cases for Our Removal Van Service

Moving House in Ealing

Whether you are upgrading to a larger home or downsizing, our removal van service is tailored to typical Ealing properties, from terraced houses to purpose-built flats. We manage parking, access and timing to keep your completion day as calm as possible.

Office and Business Relocations

For small offices and local businesses, we can move desks, chairs, IT equipment and files with minimal disruption. We often schedule business moves outside core hours to reduce downtime.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves cannot be planned months ahead – tenancy dates change, sales complete quickly or circumstances force a quick relocation. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or next-day removal van services in and around Ealing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal van in Ealing cost?

Pricing depends on the size of van, number of movers and the distance between properties, along with access factors such as stairs, long walks or limited parking. Smaller local moves can sometimes be completed within a minimum charge, while larger home moves are usually priced on a fixed quote after we understand the volume of items. We always provide a clear, itemised estimate before you book so you know exactly what is included and can compare like-for-like with other providers.

Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?

Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate same-day or short-notice moves in Ealing. Availability depends on the time of year, day of the week and the scale of your move. Smaller jobs and student moves are easier to fit in at short notice than full house moves. If you need an urgent service, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details so we can check our routes, crew availability and advise you honestly about what we can do.

What insurance cover do you provide?

We provide goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, as well as public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property or third parties. This cover is included as standard in our service, not an optional extra. There may be limits and conditions, especially for particularly valuable or unusual items, so we always ask you to tell us about any high-value pieces in advance so we can confirm cover and advise on any special packing or handling required.

What is included in your removal van service?

Our standard service includes a suitable removal van, a trained team, loading, safe transport and unloading into the rooms you specify. We provide blankets, straps and basic protection as part of the service. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and packing materials, dismantling and reassembly of simple furniture, and short-term storage through trusted partners. Everything that is included in your specific quote will be clearly set out in writing so there is no confusion on moving day.

How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?

While a basic man-and-van may simply turn up with a vehicle and help you lift, our service is a structured, professional removals operation. We provide trained staff, proper insurance, planning, surveys for larger moves, quality protection materials and clear communication from start to finish. We take responsibility for loading safely, protecting your belongings and managing timings. In short, you are paying not just for a van, but for the experience, systems and care that reduce stress and the risk of damage.

How far in advance should I book a removal van?

For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking your removal van 2–3 weeks in advance, particularly if you are moving at the end of the month, on a Friday or during peak seasons. However, we understand that moves do not always have that much notice, so we will always try to help with shorter lead times. As soon as you know your likely moving window, contact us to pencil in a slot; we can then confirm the exact date once your plans are finalised.

Removal Services

Removal Services in Ealing by Ealing Man and Van

At Ealing Man and Van, we provide reliable, well-organised removal services across Ealing and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience moving households, offices and student lets, we understand how to move your belongings safely, efficiently and with minimum disruption.

What Our Removal Services Include

Our removals are designed to cover everything you reasonably need for a smooth move day. A typical job will include:

• Arrival of a suitably sized, clean removals van
• Trained movers to do all lifting and loading
• Supply and use of moving blankets, straps and protective covers
• Careful loading, secure transport and safe unloading
• Placement of items into the rooms you choose

We can also provide optional packing services, furniture disassembly and reassembly, and packing materials if you prefer a fully managed move.

Local Removals Expertise in Ealing

Working day in, day out in Ealing means we know the area well: parking restrictions, tight streets, one-way systems and building access issues are all part of our normal planning. Whether you are moving from a flat near Ealing Broadway, a family home in Northfields, or offices in West Ealing, we factor in local conditions to keep your move running smoothly.

We regularly coordinate with building managers, concierges and landlords in Ealing to arrange loading times, lift access and parking bays, helping you avoid last-minute problems on move day.

Who Our Removal Services Are For

Homeowners

From studio flats to large family homes, we handle complete household moves, including furniture, appliances, boxes, garden items and more. We plan carefully to protect flooring, walls and bannisters in both properties.

Renters

We support tenants moving between rented properties, often with tight timeframes and inventory checks. We focus on leaving the property as we found it and ensuring your goods are moved without damage so you can hand back keys with confidence.

Landlords

We assist landlords and agents with tenancy changeover removals, including clearing properties, removing unwanted furniture and moving in new items. We work flexibly around check-in and check-out appointments.

Businesses

Our office and commercial removals cover desks, chairs, filing cabinets, IT equipment and stock. We plan around your trading hours to minimise downtime, with clear labelling and placement to help your team get back to work quickly.

Students

We offer cost-effective student moves for term-time relocations and summer moves, handling smaller loads, shared flats and halls of residence in and around Ealing.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

• Domestic furniture: sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• White goods: fridges, freezers, washing machines, cookers
• Personal belongings: clothes, books, ornaments, kitchenware
• Home office and business equipment
• Boxes, bags and storage containers
• Outdoor items: garden furniture, tools, barbecues (clean and empty)

Items Excluded or Requiring Special Arrangements

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, chemicals, paint tins)
• Illegal goods of any description
• Live animals (including pets and livestock)
• Very high-value items without prior agreement (e.g. fine art, antiques, jewellery)
• Pianos, safes or specialist machinery without pre-arranged handling
• Heavily soiled or infested items

If you have unusual, particularly heavy, or high-value items, mention these during your enquiry so we can advise on the safest way to handle them.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: addresses, property type, approximate contents and preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining what is included and any optional extras you may wish to add.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything beyond the smallest moves, we carry out a brief survey. This can be virtual (video call, photos and inventory list) or an onsite visit in Ealing. The survey allows us to confirm access, estimate volume accurately and recommend the right vehicle size and number of movers.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between full packing, partial packing (for fragile items only) or doing your own packing. If we are packing, we arrive with all materials and prepare your belongings systematically, labelling boxes by room and content. Furniture that needs dismantling is taken apart and all fixings are kept safe for reassembly.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day, our professional team arrives on time and walks through the plan with you. We protect large items with covers, use blankets and straps in the van, and load in a logical order to prevent damage. Your goods are then transported directly to your new address, using routes that suit the vehicle size and local traffic conditions.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing large items where you want them. If agreed in advance, we reassemble furniture and set up key items. We remove our materials and make a final check with you before we leave.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We price our removal services based on a few clear factors:

• Volume of goods and number of rooms
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, parking distance)
• Travel distance between addresses
• Required services (packing, dismantling, reassembly, materials)
• Timing (standard weekday, evening or weekend, urgent bookings)

Your written quote will set out exactly what is included, any potential additional charges (for example, unexpected waiting time or extra items not declared), and the payment terms. There are no hidden extras – if circumstances change, we discuss options with you before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a van and doing it yourself can seem cheaper, but it often leads to multiple trips, damage from poor packing, personal injury and a stressful, very long day. With Ealing Man and Van you get:

• Trained movers who lift and handle safely
• Vehicles equipped with the right protection and securing equipment
• Planned timings and efficient loading to reduce hours on the road
• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings
• Public liability cover for peace of mind

In most cases, the total cost is comparable to DIY once you factor in van hire, fuel, time off work, materials and the risk of damage or injury.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We operate as a fully insured removals provider. This includes:

• Goods in transit insurance for your belongings while they are in our care and on our vehicles
• Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to property or third parties

Our teams are trained in safe lifting, vehicle loading, and the handling of fragile and bulky items. We follow industry best practice for protecting furniture, securing loads and communicating clearly with clients before and during the move.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take care to protect your belongings, your property and the environment. On every job we:

• Use padded covers for mattresses, sofas and key furniture where required
• Lay protective materials where needed to safeguard floors and carpets
• Secure items with straps and blankets to prevent movement in transit
• Encourage re-use of boxes and use recyclable materials where possible
• Plan efficient routes to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions

Our approach is simple: move everything as if it were our own, with respect and attention to detail.

Real-World Use Cases in Ealing

Moving House Within Ealing

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating for schools, we handle full home moves within Ealing and to or from other parts of London and the UK. We adapt to chain completion dates and last-minute confirmations where needed.

Office and Commercial Relocations

We manage moves for small and medium-sized businesses, including scheduling out-of-hours moves to keep trading disruption to a minimum. We can work alongside your IT team or contractors to ensure equipment is moved safely and positioned correctly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Things do not always go to plan – we regularly help clients whose previous arrangements have fallen through, or who need to move quickly because of tenancy dates. If we have availability, we will accommodate same-day or next-day moves and still maintain our usual standards of care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removal services in Ealing cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your move, access at both addresses, distance travelled and whether you need extras such as packing or furniture assembly. A small local flat move might be priced on an hourly rate with a minimum charge, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. Once we have your details and, if needed, a brief survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what to budget for before you book.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

Yes, we can often accommodate same-day or urgent moves in Ealing, depending on vehicle and crew availability. If your previous removal company has cancelled or your plans have changed at short notice, call us as soon as possible with your details. We will check our schedule and advise realistically what we can do. While advance booking is always preferable, we understand that urgent situations arise and we do our best to help without compromising safety or quality of service.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being moved on our vehicles, along with public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties. This is not a substitute for your own home insurance, but it gives an additional layer of protection specific to the moving process. We can explain the key terms and any limits when you request a quote, and if you have particularly high-value items we will discuss the best way to protect them.

What is included in your removals service as standard?

As standard, we provide a suitable removals vehicle, a professional moving team, protective blankets and straps, loading, secure transport and unloading into the rooms you choose. We also include basic protection for your furniture and careful handling of your belongings. Optional extras, such as packing services, packing materials, furniture disassembly and reassembly, or out-of-hours work, can be added to your quote. Everything included will be clearly listed so you know exactly what we are responsible for on move day.

What is the difference between your removals service and a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport and some lifting, but may not provide fully insured, trained teams, proper protective equipment or structured planning. Our removals service is operated as a dedicated business with appropriate insurance, risk assessments and established processes. We carry out surveys where needed, allocate the right number of movers, bring protective materials and plan loading carefully. The aim is not just to move items from A to B, but to do so safely, efficiently and with accountability throughout.

How far in advance should I book my removal in Ealing?

Ideally, book as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially for Fridays, weekends and month-end, which are always busy. Booking two to four weeks in advance is common for larger moves, although smaller local jobs can often be scheduled with less notice. If your exchange or completion date is not yet confirmed, we can pencil you in and firm up the booking once the date is fixed. The earlier you contact us, the more choice you will have on times and dates.

Storage

Secure Storage in Ealing – Flexible, Professional Solutions

At Ealing Man and Van, we provide secure, flexible storage for households and businesses across Ealing and the surrounding areas. Whether you need a few weeks between moves or a longer-term solution for stock or furniture, we offer carefully managed storage with trained, professional teams handling every stage.

Professional Storage Services in Ealing

Our storage service is designed around real-life moves and space problems, not just empty units. We collect your items from your home, office, or student accommodation in Ealing, wrap and protect them, transport them safely and place them into secure storage. When you are ready, we deliver everything back and position items where you want them.

This door-to-door approach saves you hiring vans, lifting heavy items or making multiple trips to a storage depot. Your belongings are handled throughout by our experienced, fully insured removals team.

Local Ealing Expertise

Based in Ealing, we know the local roads, parking restrictions and building layouts inside out. From narrow Victorian terraces and mansion blocks to new-build flats and busy commercial streets, we plan collections and deliveries with local knowledge that cuts down delays and stress.

We regularly work across areas such as Ealing Broadway, West Ealing, South Ealing, Northfields and surrounding West London postcodes, coordinating with building managers, concierge teams and landlords where needed.

Who Our Storage Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are between completion dates, renovating, decluttering for a sale, or downsizing and not sure what you will keep. We can store entire house contents, selected rooms or just bulky items.

Renters

If your tenancy dates do not line up, or you are moving abroad or across the UK, storage lets you keep your belongings safe without paying rent on an empty property.

Landlords

Use our storage when changing furnishings between lets, refurbishing properties, or clearing items while compliance or repair works are carried out. We can also store furniture between short-term or student tenancies.

Businesses

From small offices to growing retailers, we provide storage for archived files, office furniture, IT equipment, seasonal stock and exhibition materials. Collections and returns can be scheduled to minimise disruption to trading.

Students

Ealing’s students often need storage between terms or while travelling. We collect from halls or shared houses, store boxes, suitcases, bikes and small furniture, then deliver to your new address when you return.

What You Can Store with Us

We handle most typical household and business items, including:

• Furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, desks and chairs
• Appliances – washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers (drained and cleaned)
• Boxes and crates of personal belongings
• Clothing, books, toys and household items
• Office furniture and storage cabinets
• IT equipment, printers and small electronics
• Retail stock, display units and promotional materials

Items We Cannot Store

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded:

• Perishable food or anything that may rot or attract pests
• Flammable, explosive or hazardous materials (e.g. gas bottles, fuel, paints, chemicals)
• Illegal goods, stolen items or anything prohibited by law
• Live plants or animals
• Cash, high-value jewellery or irreplaceable documents (we recommend a safe or bank storage)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise before your move into storage.

Our Step-by-Step Storage Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with details of your items, access at each property and your likely storage duration. We ask a few practical questions, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining collection, storage and re-delivery costs.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger moves, we arrange a short video or onsite survey in Ealing. This lets us assess volume, access (stairs, lifts, parking) and any special handling needs. Accurate surveys prevent surprises and help us allocate the right vehicle and team.

3. Packing & Preparation

On collection day, our trained movers protect furniture with padded covers and use export wrap or specialist materials where needed. We can provide a full packing service, a fragile-only packing service, or simply supply quality boxes and materials if you prefer to pack yourself.

4. Loading & Transport to Storage

Items are carefully loaded, inventoried and secured in the vehicle. We use proper lifting techniques and equipment to protect both your belongings and our team. Your goods are then transported directly to our storage facility or our partner warehouse, depending on the service level agreed.

5. Unloading, Storage & Final Delivery

On arrival, goods are placed into secure storage units or containers with clear labelling. When you are ready for everything back, we arrange a convenient delivery time in Ealing, unload and position items in the rooms you specify, reassembling furniture where agreed.

Transparent Pricing for Storage in Ealing

We keep pricing straightforward and easy to understand. Your cost will usually consist of:

• Collection and loading fee – based on time, team size and vehicle
• Weekly or monthly storage charge – based on the volume of goods
• Re-delivery fee – similar structure to collection, depending on distance and access

We explain all charges clearly before you book. There are no hidden fees for basic insurance or standard equipment. Any optional extras, such as packing materials, specialist packing or out-of-hours work, are discussed upfront.

Why Use Professional Storage Instead of DIY?

Hiring a unit and doing everything yourself might seem cheaper at first, but often leads to extra trips, damaged items and a lot of time and effort. With a professional storage service:

• Your belongings are handled by trained movers using the right equipment.
• Everything is wrapped and stacked correctly to minimise risk.
• You avoid lifting injuries and the hassle of multiple van hires.
• Inventory and labelling are managed for you, making retrieval simpler.

Compared with a casual man-and-van, we operate to recognised standards, maintain proper insurance and provide continuity from collection to final delivery.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, so we back up our service with proper protections and standards:

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while being moved between your property and the storage facility.
• Public liability cover – protects you and your property during our work on-site.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in lifting, loading and protecting goods, including fragile and bulky items.

We follow clear procedures for packing, handling and inventory, reducing the risk of loss or damage and giving you peace of mind while your belongings are in storage.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat stored items as if they were our own. Furniture is covered, mattresses are bagged, and fragile items are wrapped. We use reusable protective materials wherever possible and avoid unnecessary waste.

Where we do use disposable materials, we favour recyclable options and minimise plastic use. We also plan routes sensibly to cut unnecessary mileage, helping to reduce our environmental impact across Ealing and West London.

Real-World Storage Use Cases

Moving House

If your sale completes before your purchase, storage keeps your belongings safe in the gap. We collect on your moving day, store for as long as you need, then deliver to your new home once you have the keys.

Office Relocation

Businesses often need phased moves or temporary storage for surplus desks, chairs and files. We can hold items while you refit new premises, or store archives and seasonal equipment long term.

Urgent or Last-Minute Storage

Sometimes moves fall through or landlords change plans at short notice. Where we have capacity, we offer rapid storage solutions, collecting quickly and taking the pressure off while you sort your next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does storage in Ealing cost?

Storage costs depend mainly on the volume of items, how long you need storage for, and the access at your property. We charge a collection fee, a weekly or monthly storage rate, and a re-delivery fee when you are ready for your goods back. As a guide, storing the contents of a small flat will usually be less than keeping an extra rental property just to hold belongings. We provide a clear written quote so you know the total likely cost before committing.

Can you provide same-day or urgent storage?

Where our schedule and storage space allow, we can arrange same-day or urgent collection for storage in Ealing and nearby areas. This is particularly helpful if a move falls through at the last moment or you need to clear a property quickly. The more notice you can give, the better, but we will always try to help in an emergency. Call us to discuss your situation, and we will confirm availability and realistic timings before you book.

Are my belongings insured while in storage?

Yes. Your items are protected by our goods in transit insurance while we are moving them, and by our storage provider’s cover while they are in the facility, subject to terms and limits. We also carry public liability insurance for work at your property. We will explain the level of cover included in your quote, and if you have particularly high-value items, we can discuss whether additional cover or a separate policy would be sensible for extra peace of mind.

What is included in your storage service?

Our standard storage service includes collection from your property, protective wrapping of furniture, loading, transport to the storage facility, secure storage, and re-delivery when you are ready. We also provide basic inventory and labelling so items can be identified easily. Optional extras include full packing, fragile-only packing, supply of boxes and materials, and dismantling or reassembling larger furniture. We always set out exactly what is and is not included in your written quotation.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?

A casual man-and-van will usually just move items from A to B with limited protection and often no formal insurance or inventory. Our service is more structured and professional. We use trained staff, proper protective materials, and documented procedures for loading and storage. You receive clear paperwork, defined insurance cover, and support from initial enquiry through to final delivery. This reduces the risk of damage, loss or disputes and is especially important when your belongings will be stored for any length of time.

How far in advance should I book storage?

For planned moves, we recommend booking storage at least one to two weeks in advance, especially during busy periods such as summer and month-end. This gives us time to carry out a survey if needed, arrange materials and secure the right size storage space. However, we understand that plans can change quickly, so if you need storage at short notice, contact us and we will do our best to accommodate you. The earlier you get in touch, the more options we can offer.

Packing and Boxes

Packing and Boxes in Ealing with Ealing Man and Van

At Ealing Man and Van we provide a complete packing and boxes service in Ealing for homes and businesses that want their belongings prepared safely and efficiently for moving or storage. As a local, experienced removals company, we use robust materials and careful methods to protect your possessions from the first tape strip to the final box placed in your new property.

Professional Packing and Boxes Service in Ealing

Our packing service is designed to remove the stress, risk and time involved in preparing for a move. Whether you need just a few fragile items wrapped or your entire property professionally packed, our trained team will bring all the materials, pack room by room, label clearly and prepare everything for safe transport.

We work across Ealing and surrounding areas every day, so we understand local access issues, parking restrictions and building layouts. That local knowledge helps us plan packing and loading so your move runs smoothly and on schedule.

Who Our Packing and Boxes Service Is For

Homeowners

If you are moving house within or from Ealing, our full packing service saves you days of work. We carefully pack kitchens, bedrooms, lofts and garages, using the right size boxes and specialist wrapping for fragile or high-value items.

Renters

For tenants moving flats, we provide efficient packing that minimises disruption. We can often pack a standard flat in a single day, helping you meet check-out deadlines and reduce the risk of damage claims on the way out.

Landlords

Landlords in Ealing use our service when clearing or consolidating furnished properties, student lets or HMOs. We can pack, inventory and label items for storage, disposal or transfer to another property.

Businesses

Offices, shops and small businesses benefit from organised, labelled packing that keeps stock, files, IT equipment and furniture together. We work outside normal hours where needed to limit downtime and disruption to your customers.

Students

Students in Ealing often need compact, budget-friendly packing support when moving in or out of halls or shared houses. We can supply packing boxes and materials, or provide a light packing service for key items such as computers, books and fragile belongings.

What Is Included in Our Packing and Boxes Service

We tailor each packing job to your needs, but as standard our service can include:

• Supply of high-quality removal boxes in various sizes
• Double-walled cartons for heavier or fragile items
• Specialist wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes
• Bubble wrap, packing paper and protective wrapping
• Tape, labels and marker pens
• Professional packing of china, glass, ornaments and artwork
• Careful packing of books, clothing, toys and general household items
• Box labelling by room and contents for easier unpacking
• Optional dismantling and packing of small furniture

What Is Not Included

To keep you and our team safe, and to comply with insurance and transport regulations, some items are excluded from our packing service:

• Flammable or hazardous materials (paint thinners, fuel, gas bottles)
• Illegal items or substances
• Open containers of liquids that may leak
• Perishable food for moves over a short distance or time frame
• Valuables such as cash, jewellery and important documents (we recommend you transport these personally)

If you are unsure about a particular item, we will advise during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Packing and Moving Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact Ealing Man and Van by phone or online with basic details of your move: property size, locations, date and any special items. We provide an initial estimate for packing and boxes and, where appropriate, the moving service itself.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

We arrange a short video survey or onsite visit in Ealing to view your belongings and understand access and parking. This allows us to confirm how many boxes and what materials we need, how many packers to allocate and how long the job will realistically take. You then receive a clear, written quotation.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the agreed packing day, our professional team arrives with all materials. We normally pack room by room, starting with less-used areas. Fragile and high-value items are wrapped individually. Boxes are labelled with room and a brief description of contents. If dismantling is included, we carefully take down agreed items and keep fixings together.

4. Loading & Transport

Once packed, boxes and furniture are loaded onto our vehicles using protective blankets, straps and trolleys. Our fully insured vans are equipped to keep loads stable and secure in transit. We choose routes that minimise traffic and rough roads where possible, especially for fragile loads.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload and place boxes into the correct rooms according to their labels. If agreed in advance, we can also reassemble basic furniture items. Our team will check that everything has been unloaded and placed where you need it before leaving.

Transparent Pricing for Packing and Boxes in Ealing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. The cost of our packing and boxes service in Ealing depends on:

• Property size and volume of belongings
• Whether you need full or partial packing
• Number of packers required and time needed
• Level of materials required (standard vs high-volume fragile items)

Your written quote will specify:

• Labour cost for packing
• Cost of boxes and packing materials
• Any additional services (dismantling, reassembly, disposal)

There are no hidden extras for standard work. If something changes (such as significantly more items than seen at survey), we discuss it with you before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional Packing Instead of DIY

Many people start packing themselves and quickly discover how time-consuming and physically demanding it is. Professional packing offers several advantages over DIY or hiring a casual man-and-van:

• Trained packers who know how to protect fragile and awkward items
• Correct box sizes and packing methods to reduce the risk of damage
• Faster completion, often packing an entire property in a single day
• Reduced stress before moving day
• Better use of van space, potentially reducing the number of trips

DIY packing often leads to overfilled or weak boxes, poor labelling and last-minute panics. A casual man-and-van may not provide fully insured or professional packing, leaving you exposed if something goes wrong.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Ealing Man and Van operates to recognised removals standards to protect you and your belongings.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being moved in our vehicles, subject to terms and conditions explained at booking.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to property or injury caused by our work.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced in safe lifting, packing techniques and handling awkward items.

We also maintain our vehicles regularly and use quality packing materials that are suited to removals work, not just general storage.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every item as if it were our own. Fragile belongings are wrapped individually and cushioned inside boxes to prevent movement. Heavy items are double-boxed or packed in smaller cartons to protect both the contents and our team.

Where possible, we use recyclable materials and encourage the re-use of boxes. Many of our cartons are designed for multiple uses, and we can arrange collection of reusable boxes after your move if agreed in advance. We plan routes to reduce unnecessary mileage and combine trips where appropriate to minimise environmental impact.

Real-World Use Cases for Packing and Boxes in Ealing

Moving House

Families and individuals moving within or from Ealing often choose our full packing and moving package. We pack one day, move the next, keeping disruption to a minimum and ensuring everything is ready to go on moving morning.

Office and Business Relocations

For offices, we provide clearly labelled crates and boxes for IT equipment, files and desk contents. We work with your team to plan a phased pack so key departments can keep working as long as possible.

Urgent or Last-Minute Moves

Sometimes moves come up at short notice – a sudden completion date, a change of tenancy or an urgent clearance. Subject to availability, we can provide same-day or next-day packing support in Ealing, bringing all boxes and materials so you are not left scrambling for supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a packing and boxes service cost in Ealing?

The cost depends mainly on the volume of items, the level of packing required and how many packers are needed. A small flat with partial packing will naturally cost less than a large family home needing full packing and specialist materials. After a short survey, we provide a fixed quotation that separates labour and materials, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges for standard work, and any potential extras are discussed with you in advance.

Can you provide same-day or urgent packing services?

Where our schedule allows, we can often help with same-day or next-day packing in Ealing, especially for smaller properties or partial packing jobs. Urgent bookings do depend on staff and vehicle availability, and peak periods such as month-end fill quickly. If you need rapid assistance, contact us as early in the day as possible with details of your property and deadline. We will give you an honest answer on what we can achieve safely and professionally within the timeframe.

Are my belongings insured while you pack and move them?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance for items we transport and public liability cover for our work on-site, subject to policy terms. This offers protection if items are accidentally damaged while being moved by our team. We will explain the key conditions, such as exclusions for hazardous items or owner-packed boxes, at the quotation stage. We still recommend that very high-value items, important documents, cash and jewellery are carried by you personally wherever possible.

What is included in a professional packing and boxes service?

Our service typically includes supply of quality boxes and packing materials, professional packing of agreed items, clear labelling by room and content type, and preparation for safe loading. For full-service moves, it dovetails directly into transport and unloading. You can choose full packing for the whole property or partial packing for selected areas such as the kitchen or fragile items only. We do not pack prohibited or unsafe items, and we will agree the exact scope with you before work begins.

How is this different from a basic man-and-van service?

A basic man-and-van usually focuses on transport only and may expect you to provide your own boxes and do all the packing yourself. Our approach is a complete, professional removals service built around protecting your belongings. We supply proper materials, use trained staff, provide fully insured transport and follow an organised process from survey to unloading. This reduces the risk of damage, speeds up the move and gives you a single point of responsibility for both packing and moving.

How far in advance should I book packing and boxes?

For the best choice of dates, we recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance, especially if you plan to move at month-end, during school holidays or on a Friday. That said, we regularly accommodate shorter notice bookings when our schedule allows. Once you know your likely move date, contact us and we can pencil you in, adjusting if your completion date shifts. Early contact also gives us time to carry out a proper survey and plan your packing day efficiently.

What’s Included in Our Office Removals

Our Ealing office removals typically include:

• Desks, tables and workstations
• Office chairs, storage units and filing cabinets
• Desktop computers, monitors and peripherals (packed and protected)
• Printers, scanners and photocopiers (subject to size and access)
• Telecoms equipment and small servers (as agreed in advance)
• Confidential files and archives (moved securely and discreetly)
• Kitchen items – kettles, microwaves, small fridges and supplies

Items We Cannot Move

For safety and legal reasons, we normally exclude:

• Hazardous materials (chemicals, fuel, gas bottles)
• Industrial machinery requiring specialist lifting

If you are unsure about particular items, we will clarify what’s possible during the survey so there are no surprises on moving day.

Our Step-by-Step Office Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quotation

You contact us with the basic details: current address, new address, size of office, key dates and any deadlines. We then provide an initial, no-obligation estimate based on the information you share. Where appropriate, we can suggest off-peak or out-of-hours moves to minimise disruption to your staff and customers.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

Next, we arrange a survey – either virtual (video call with a walkthrough) or onsite in Ealing. This allows us to assess access, parking, lift use, staircases, IT equipment, special handling needs and any building management requirements. After the survey, we confirm a clear written quote and outline your move plan.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer flexible packing options for your office move:

• Full packing – our team packs all non-personal items, clearly labelled by department or room.
• Part packing – you pack personal belongings; we focus on IT, furniture and shared areas.
• Self-packing – we supply boxes and materials; you pack, and we handle the rest.

All items are wrapped, protected and labelled so they can be placed correctly at your new premises.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time with the right vehicles and equipment. We dismantle desks and furniture where needed, protect doorways and floors, and load systematically so that essential items can be unloaded first. Your goods are protected by goods in transit insurance while on the road.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new office, we unload and place items according to your floor plan or manager’s instructions. We reassemble furniture we dismantled, set up workstations in the correct locations, and position storage so that your team can get working again quickly. On request, we can also remove packaging materials at the end of the move.

Transparent Office Removals Pricing

We price office removals fairly and transparently, based on:

• Size of the office and volume of items
• Distance between properties
• Access conditions (stairs, lifts, long carries, parking)
• Level of packing service required
• Number of staff and vehicles needed
• Timing – weekday, weekend, evening or overnight moves

All costs are clearly outlined in your written quote, with no hidden extras. If building management or access rules require additional time or labour, we discuss this in advance so you can budget confidently.

Why Choose Professional Office Removals Over DIY

Attempting to move an office with a casual van or untrained helpers often leads to damage, delays and unplanned downtime. Our professional office removals team offers:

• Experience handling IT and office furniture without damage
• Correct vehicles, trolleys and protective materials
• Efficient planning to reduce business disruption
• Fully insured protection for your equipment and premises
• Staff trained in safe lifting and handling

Using specialists means your staff can stay focused on their work, while we manage the heavy lifting and logistics.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Ealing Man and Van operates to clear, professional standards. We carry:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your office furniture and equipment while being moved.
• Public liability cover for peace of mind in shared buildings and managed offices.
• Trained moving teams who follow safe working practices and respect your staff and property.

We can provide proof of insurance and any risk assessments your building management may require, giving you and your landlord confidence in how the move will be handled.

Care, Protection and Sustainable Working

We treat your premises and equipment as if they were our own. Floors, walls and doorways are protected where necessary, and IT equipment is padded and secured in transit. We aim to minimise waste by reusing strong packing materials where practical and disposing of damaged materials responsibly. Where requested, we can help separate recyclable packaging at the end of the move, supporting your own sustainability policies.

Real-World Office Removals Use Cases

Moving Office Within Ealing

Many clients move between local Ealing offices – for example, upsizing from a serviced office into a dedicated space. We plan around your lease dates, enabling a clean handover of the old office and a ready-to-use new space.

Relocating To or From Ealing

If your head office or satellite office is moving into or out of the borough, we coordinate closely with other sites and IT teams, ensuring data, equipment and staff facilities arrive when needed.

Urgent or Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes leases change, refurbishments overrun or you need an urgent reconfiguration of space. Subject to availability, we can offer same-day or short-notice office moves in Ealing, focusing on essential departments first so you remain operational.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an office removal in Ealing cost?

Costs depend on the size of your office, the volume of furniture and IT equipment, the distance between locations and the level of packing you require. Access plays a big part too – stairs, limited parking or long carries may increase labour time. After a brief discussion and a survey, we provide a clear written quote with all charges explained. There are no hidden extras, and we are happy to break down costs by packing, labour and transport so you can compare options and plan your budget.

Can you handle same-day or urgent office moves?

We can often accommodate short-notice or urgent office moves in Ealing, depending on our existing bookings and the scale of your move. For smaller offices or partial relocations, same-day moves are frequently possible. Larger offices may require at least one or two days’ planning to ensure we allocate sufficient staff and vehicles. If you are under time pressure, contact us as early as you can with your key dates and priorities, and we will advise honestly on what can be achieved safely and efficiently.

What insurance cover do you provide for office removals?

Your items are protected by goods in transit insurance while they are being moved between locations. We also hold public liability cover, which is important when working in shared or managed office buildings. Our teams are trained to handle office equipment carefully, reducing the risk of damage. We are happy to share insurance details with you or your building manager in advance, and if you have particularly high-value items or specialist equipment, we can discuss whether additional cover or specialist handling is recommended.

What exactly is included in your office removals service?

Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your office furniture, IT equipment, boxes and general contents between the agreed addresses. We can also provide dismantling and reassembly of desks and basic furniture, along with optional packing services and packing materials. On arrival, we place items in the rooms or departments you specify, following your floor plan where provided. Exclusions, such as hazardous items or specialist machinery, are always explained in advance so you know precisely what is and is not covered on moving day.

How is a professional office removal different from a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van service usually focuses on simple transport, with limited planning, protection and liability. Our professional office removals are fully planned and managed: we survey both properties, coordinate with building management, protect floors and entrances, label and organise items, and use appropriate packing and lifting equipment. We carry full insurance, work to agreed schedules and provide trained crews used to handling IT and office furniture. The result is a smoother move, reduced downtime and far less risk to your premises and equipment.

How far in advance should I book an office removal in Ealing?

For most office moves, we recommend booking at least two to four weeks in advance, especially if you require weekend, evening or end-of-month dates, which are in higher demand. Larger or more complex relocations may benefit from even more notice to allow for surveys, planning and coordination with other contractors. That said, we know that moves are not always predictable, so we will always do our best to help at shorter notice. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer around dates and timings.

Step-by-Step Man with a Van Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with basic details: where you are moving from and to, your preferred date, an outline of what needs moving and any access issues. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give, including the size of vehicle and number of movers required.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For straightforward, smaller jobs we can often quote accurately from photos or a video call. For more complex moves, we may recommend an onsite survey in Ealing. This allows us to confirm inventory, check access (stairs, lifts, parking) and make sure we send exactly what is needed on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose to pack your own items, or add a packing service where our trained team supply materials and carefully prepare your belongings. Even when you pack yourself, we can provide boxes, tape and wrapping if required. On moving day we protect delicate items and can dismantle and reassemble basic furniture where agreed in advance.

4. Loading & Transport

On the day, our team arrives on time in a clean, well-maintained van equipped with blankets, straps and trolleys. We load your items methodically, securing everything to prevent movement in transit. Then we transport them directly to your new address using the most efficient route available.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the destination, we unload items to the rooms you specify, placing larger pieces where you want them. We work carefully around walls, doors and flooring to avoid damage. Before leaving, we check that everything on the agreed inventory has been delivered and positioned.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our man with a van service is usually charged either:

• By the hour – ideal for shorter, local Ealing jobs where the time can be accurately estimated.
• Fixed price – for longer or more defined moves where a set cost provides peace of mind.

Your quote will explain exactly what is included: the size of van, number of movers, estimated duration, mileage and any additional services such as packing or furniture assembly. Any potential extra charges (for example, waiting time due to key delays) are discussed clearly in advance.

Why Choose Professional Man with a Van Over DIY

Hiring a professional man with a van offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual, unvetted driver:

• Trained handling of furniture and fragile items, reducing the risk of damage or injury.
• Use of proper equipment – trolleys, blankets and straps – to protect your belongings and property.
• Fully insured service, with documentation available on request.
• Reliable timing and planning, rather than depending on friends or unregulated operators.
• Less physical strain and stress for you, so you can focus on the rest of your move.

While DIY might seem cheaper at first glance, once you account for van hire, fuel, lost time, risk of damage and possible injury, a professional service often represents better overall value.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Ealing Man and Van operates to clear, professional standards so that you know your possessions are in safe hands.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to our terms and conditions.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property during your move.
• Trained moving teams – our movers are experienced in lifting techniques, loading methods and item protection.

We are always happy to explain our cover in more detail and provide confirmation of insurance if needed for landlords, building managers or commercial clients.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move, however small, with the same level of care. Our approach includes:

• Using removal blankets, floor protection and corner guards where appropriate.
• Wrapping delicate items and securing loads to prevent movement.
• Careful planning to reduce the number of journeys and unnecessary mileage.
• Reusing cartons and materials where safe and hygienic to do so, to minimise waste.

We continually review our routes, vehicle maintenance and packing choices to keep our environmental impact as low as practicable while maintaining a high level of service.

Real-World Uses for Our Man with a Van in Ealing

Moving House or Flat

Ideal for studio, one- and two-bedroom properties, or for moving selected items ahead of a larger move. Our team understands the logistics of lifts, tight staircases and controlled parking zones that are common across Ealing.

Office and Business Relocations

From a single office to a small suite, we move desks, chairs, IT and files with minimal disruption to your trading. We can work outside normal business hours where required, subject to availability.

Urgent and Same-Day Moves

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a man with a van in Ealing cost?

Costs depend on the size of van, number of movers, distance and how long the move takes. For local moves within Ealing, many jobs are priced on an hourly rate with a minimum charge, while longer or more complex moves may be quoted at a fixed price. To give an accurate figure we consider access, number of stairs, volume of items and any extra services like packing or furniture assembly. We always provide a clear, written quote before you book so you know exactly what to expect.

Can you provide same-day or urgent man with a van services?

Same-day and urgent moves are often possible, particularly for local Ealing jobs, but they do depend on our schedule and the size of the move. If you need a van at short notice, contact us as early as you can with full details so we can check availability and plan the best solution. Where we can help on the same day, we will confirm the time window, costs and what is included before you commit, so there are no surprises.

What insurance cover is included?

Our service includes goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicle, and public liability insurance for accidental damage to third-party property. As with any insurance, certain limits and exclusions apply, which we can explain in plain language when you book. We recommend that customers move cash, jewellery and irreplaceable documents themselves. If you have particularly high-value items, please tell us in advance so we can confirm the level of cover and any special handling requirements.

What is included in your man with a van service?

Our standard service includes a suitable vehicle, a professional driver and at least one mover to help with lifting and loading. We provide blankets, straps and basic protective materials as standard, and transport your goods from door to door, placing items into the rooms you specify on arrival. Additional services such as full or partial packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and supply of packing materials can be added on request. All inclusions and any optional extras are clearly listed on your quote before you agree to proceed.

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

A professional man with a van, like Ealing Man and Van, operates with trained staff, proper insurance, well-maintained vehicles and clear terms of service. Casual operators may not have adequate cover, may lack experience handling awkward or fragile items and may be less reliable with timings. We carry the right equipment, assess access in advance and plan routes and loading properly. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and disputes, and usually gives a smoother, less stressful experience overall.

How far in advance should I book?

For planned moves, booking one to two weeks ahead is ideal, especially for Fridays, month-ends and peak moving periods, which fill up quickly. However, we understand that not every move can be planned that far in advance, so we will always try to accommodate shorter-notice bookings where our schedule allows. The earlier you contact us with your date, addresses and an idea of what needs moving, the more likely it is we can offer your preferred time slot and the most cost-effective option.
