CityGrip arranges man and van and removals enquiries for Shepherd's Bush and West Kensington, grouping W12, W14 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.
W12 Shepherd’s Bush: explain the load and where it is released.
For a Shepherd's Bush or White City enquiry, give the full building address and the entrance used by a moving van. If collecting from managed premises, ask for the delivery or collection instructions and the contact who will allow access. A public entrance is not necessarily the vehicle release point.
For a room or studio move, list packed boxes and individual furniture rather than rely on a photograph of everything in the room. Identify what stays and say whether a bed, desk or shelving will be dismantled. Request any taking-apart work in advance if you need it.
For a shop or seller collection, confirm dimensions, known weight, packaging and the time the item will be ready. Tell us whether the seller provides handling assistance. A short journey still requires a suitable plan for loading, carrying and unloading at the destination.
W14 West Kensington: measure furniture against the whole route.
For a West Kensington flat or house, describe the entrance floor and any internal stairs. A raised-ground address, basement stair or long corridor should be stated explicitly. Give dimensions and known weights of bulky furniture and explain narrow turns at both properties.
If the building has a lift, check its door opening and usable interior and ask whether a moving slot is required. Explain an alternative route before booking if some items cannot use it. Neither one mover nor two movers guarantees that every item can be handled through every staircase.
Area names around West Kensington, Olympia and Holland Park can overlap postcode and borough boundaries. Send the complete postcode rather than infer loading rules from the neighbourhood name. For a Kensington W8 address, use the linked Kensington moving guide and send the complete postcode.
Check timed building access and the street independently.
Ask the property manager about any private loading area, gate, vehicle height limit or delivery slot. Check the street's responsible authority separately for public parking and loading. An empty bay or a visitor arrangement does not automatically provide the permission or space needed for furniture handling.
Coordinate the collection and delivery windows before confirming the job. If keys will only be released at a certain time, or the receiving building needs a lift booking, include that in the enquiry. The suitable vehicle, crew and complete quote are agreed around those arrangements and the full item list.
Your moving questions, answered.
Does this guide cover both W12 and W14?
It groups Shepherd's Bush W12 and West Kensington W14 enquiries for moving guidance. Give the full postcodes, items and access so the actual route, vehicle, assistance and availability can be confirmed.
Can you move furniture that will not fit the lift?
Describe the item and alternative access before booking, with dimensions, photographs and known weight where relevant. Suitability needs assessment; do not assume every item can use stairs or be dismantled.
Which guide should I use for a W8 address?
Use the linked Kensington W8 guide rather than treating a nearby neighbourhood name as the postcode. Send the complete address and destination so the actual move can be planned.
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.
