W2: Paddington and Bayswater collection details.
For a Paddington or Bayswater move, give the building number, full postcode and actual collection entrance. A landmark such as Paddington station does not identify a residential loading point. If your address has a managed reception or a separate service approach, obtain its instructions before agreeing a collection time.
For a flat, describe the floor, internal stairs and any lift. Give the lift door opening and usable interior for large furniture rather than simply saying there is a lift. Include the distance from the likely loading position to the building, especially if the approved approach differs from the main pedestrian entrance.
For a seller collection, confirm where the item is stored and who can release it. Ask whether it is assembled or boxed and obtain dimensions and known weight. Explain if the seller will not provide handling assistance so the crew can be assessed for the actual pickup and delivery.
W9: Maida Vale, Maida Hill and the building arrangements.
For a W9 enquiry, identify the building or block name as well as the street. The area name Maida Vale is useful, but it is the individual property's rules and layout that determine the moving route. Ask a managing agent or porter about permitted moving hours, service access and any lift reservation.
State whether the load is one room, a complete flat or selected furniture. Label items that stay behind and include furniture separately from the box count. If a piece will not fit the available lift, explain the proposed alternative before booking; stairs are not automatically a suitable route for every item.
A journey from W2 to W9 can be short while involving different loading positions and building teams. Send both addresses and their own access instructions. The nearby Maida Vale guide offers further preparation detail, but the crew, vehicle and price still need to be agreed around your actual load.
Check the street space separately from estate access.
Do not infer a parking authority or private access right from the postcode alone. Identify the person or authority responsible for the proposed space. Westminster's suspension guidance distinguishes its normal street-bay process from housing-estate land; other streets or land managers need their own current arrangements checked.
Share the loading position that has actually been agreed, plus any height restriction, gate or time slot. Tell us if the receiving building has a different unloading window. An application, visitor arrangement or lift booking should not be treated as permission for every part of the route.

Your moving questions, answered.
Does this page cover both W2 and W9 moves?
It groups W2 and W9 enquiries for planning, including Paddington, Bayswater and Maida Vale addresses. Send the full postcodes and access details to confirm the actual route, service and availability.
What details help with a W2 or W9 apartment move?
Send the building or block name, approved entrance, floor, usable lift dimensions, loading position and any booking window. Include the inventory and the access at delivery too.
Can a street-bay arrangement include a private loading entrance?
Not automatically. Confirm public parking arrangements with the relevant authority and private or estate access with the land or building manager.
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.
