CityGrip arranges man and van and removals enquiries for Ealing, Acton and Hanwell, grouping W3, W5, W7, W13 in this guide. Send both full postcodes, your items, date and access so the actual vehicle, help, availability and complete price can be confirmed. Check the council and building rules for the actual addresses and confirm the full quote.
Van and crew starting rates.
Confirm vehicle, minimum hours, inclusions and total. Booking, payment and cover information.
W3 Acton: identify the collection entrance and the whole load.
For an Acton enquiry, give the complete postcode and entrance rather than only the nearest station or a broad area name. If the property uses a private service road, gate or rear access, identify who can allow the van in and what vehicle restrictions apply.
For an apartment, include the floor, corridor carry and any lift reservation. For a house, list furniture, boxes and contents stored away from the main rooms. A room count alone will not show the load or establish whether one mover can handle it.
W3 is a postal district, not a guarantee of one council's rules. Check the authority or private manager for the actual loading position and tell us about restrictions. A seller collection also needs the release contact, item dimensions and known weight, alongside access at delivery.
W5 Ealing: assess the driveway, stairs and destination.
For an Ealing home move, explain whether the van is expected to use a drive or load from the road. Give usable entrance width, any height limit and the distance to the property. Do not assume a space in front of the home is suitable without checking the actual conditions.
If the property has a flat or maisonette layout, include internal stairs as well as the entrance floor. Measure large furniture against the route at the receiving address too. A lift at collection does not establish that the same item can reach a room at delivery.
For a whole-house inventory, include cupboards and stored belongings and request packing or disassembly before booking if needed. We discuss the suitable vehicle and assistance for that load, rather than assign a fixed crew from the postcode or bedroom count alone.
W7 Hanwell: prepare storage areas and separate buildings.
If your Hanwell move includes belongings in a shed, garage, loft or garden store, list them with the main rooms. Say whether they are packed and accessible and give dimensions and known weights for awkward pieces. Extra storage contents can change the practical plan even when the house has few bedrooms.
Describe any side access, steps or long path that forms part of the actual carrying route. If only a room or a few items are moving, identify exactly what travels and what stays. A photograph helps show the load, but an item list makes the scope clear.
Send the final delivery postcode with the enquiry, including a storage facility if applicable. Arrange storage space directly with its provider and confirm its opening and access arrangements. A later collection from the unit is another journey to discuss, not an automatic part of the first move.
W13 West Ealing: coordinate flats, seller collections and timing.
For a West Ealing flat, provide the building name, entrance and floor. Ask about moving hours, lift dimensions and any delivery booking. If items are above a shop or accessed from another frontage, state the entrance to use rather than assume the advertised address identifies the collection point.
For a furniture purchase, confirm release time, packaging and who will be present. Tell us if the seller cannot help carry the item. The one-mover or two-mover choice depends on the item and the access at both ends, not just the length of the drive.
If a parking space is needed on an Ealing-controlled street, check the council's current suspension process. Its guidance says not to reserve road space yourself with bins or cones. Confirm the actual arrangement early and share it alongside the proposed moving date and complete inventory.

Your moving questions, answered.
Can you quote for a move within W3, W5, W7 or W13?
Send both complete addresses, the load, date and access details for an Acton, Ealing, Hanwell or West Ealing enquiry. The suitable vehicle, assistance, availability and full price need to be agreed for the actual move.
Can I reserve road space with cones for an Ealing move?
Ealing Council's guidance says not to use bins or cones to reserve road space yourself. Check its current suspension process for a space it controls, and confirm the actual loading arrangement.
Does a small house always need only one mover?
No. Provide furniture dimensions, known weights, stairs and carrying distances. Suitability depends on the handling work, including any stored contents and the delivery access.
A little preparation, a clearer moving day.
Make a list of furniture and packed boxes, including belongings in cupboards, lofts, garages or storage that are part of your move. Send dimensions and known weights for large or awkward items. Photographs can help explain the load and any difficult access.
Driver and van starts from £60/hour with no loading or unloading help: arrange your own helpers at both ends. One mover and van starts from £80/hour, or two movers and van from £95/hour. Tell us which help you need, then confirm the suitable vehicle, minimum hours, inclusions, any applicable charges and complete price.
Student moves from £100 with ground-floor loading help · Packing from £290 for 1–2 bedrooms or £500 for 3–4 bedrooms. Confirm the actual scope and whether materials and any applicable VAT are included in your quote.
Booking and moving information.
How do I get a removals quote?
Use the online quote form, call 07960 200253 or message us on WhatsApp with the postcodes, date and what is being moved. We give you the price upfront, before you book.
Is a quote a booking?
No. A quote request does not reserve a date. Nothing is booked until you have agreed the details and the price with us.
What size of van do you use?
We use small vans such as the Ford Transit Custom and Renault Trafic, Ford Transit short, medium and long wheelbase vans, and Luton vans. Luton vans with a tail lift are available. We recommend the van when we quote, and photos of the larger items sent on WhatsApp help.
What hours do you work?
Removals run seven days a week, from 8am to 8pm, and you can book for the next day until midnight.
Do you offer packing and furniture assembly?
Yes. Packing, taking furniture apart and assembly are available on request, and packing materials are available on advance notice only. Tick what you need on the quote form or tell us when you call, and we give you the price upfront.
What insurance do you have?
We hold hire and reward insurance. Goods in transit insurance is available at extra cost if you need it: ask for it when you request your quote, and check your own contents insurance as well.
What is your cancellation policy?
An £80 cancellation fee applies if you cancel with at least 24 hours' notice. If you cancel less than 24 hours before your move, 50% of the quoted fee applies. Cancellations cannot be accepted within 8 hours of the move, so the full quoted fee applies and is not refunded, unless the cancellation is because of a medical emergency supported by hospital records, in which case 50% of the quoted fee applies.
How can I pay?
You can pay by card or bank transfer.
