Man and Van in West London
From an inner-west flat to a family home further out.

In this moving guide
Two kinds of move in one region
Inner West London, around Kensington, Chelsea, Earl's Court, Notting Hill, Hammersmith and Fulham, is mostly flats and converted houses. The practical questions are the ones in the middle of the city: where the van can stop, whether the building has rules, and how many floors there are.
Further out, in Ealing, Hounslow and Hillingdon, there are more family houses, more driveways and bigger loads, and the journey between addresses is often longer. The questions there are about how much there is to move and how far it is going. Tell us which sounds like your move and we will plan for it.
Areas by borough
Some West London names sit on a borough boundary, and some people would place them in a different part of London. We group them by the borough that mainly covers them. If you are unsure, give us the postcode.

| Hounslow | Chiswick, Brentford, Isleworth, Hounslow, Feltham | |
| Hillingdon | Hayes, Uxbridge, Ruislip, West Drayton | |
| Brent | Wembley, Willesden, Kilburn | Also on the North London page. Kilburn is shared with Camden. |
| Harrow | Harrow, Pinner, Stanmore | Also on the North London page. |
| Richmond upon Thames | Twickenham, Richmond | Also on the South London page. The borough spans both banks of the Thames, and Twickenham is on the north bank. |
Typical West London moves
Mansion blocks and period conversions
Flats in older buildings may mean staircases, narrow landings and small lifts. Give us floors and measurements of the largest pieces.
Managed apartment buildings
Some buildings have porters, loading areas or lift booking systems. Ask your managing agent and tell us what they require.
Family houses with driveways
Houses further west may allow the van closer to the door. Tell us about parking, and how much storage there is: loft, garage, garden shed.
Long-distance within London
A move from Hillingdon to a flat in Fulham covers real distance. Put both postcodes on the form so the quote reflects the journey.
Bulky furniture and appliances
Large sofas, wardrobes and white goods are a two-mover job, particularly with stairs.
Items from shops and sellers
A purchase to collect or a delivery to a different address. See furniture collection and delivery.
Choose the access guidance for the actual West London road.
A West London postcode is a useful starting point, but it does not identify one parking authority. Before choosing a loading position, establish who controls that road or private forecourt. Then use the instructions relevant to that location, rather than carrying a permission from another address across the journey.
- For an Ealing-controlled space, the council's suspension process explains how to request a bay. Do not reserve road space yourself with household bins or cones.
- Where Kensington and Chelsea is responsible, its removals guidance distinguishes ordinary continuous loading from a separately reserved space. Check the conditions for the proposed position.
- If a Chiswick approach is affected, read Hounslow's route restrictions as well as the parking information. Permission to occupy a bay does not settle whether that approach can be used.
Ask the receiving property for its own instructions too. Share any confirmed moving slot, gate contact or service entrance with the inventory so the plan accounts for both locations.

West London removals FAQs
I am moving from a flat in Kensington to a house in Ealing. Which service?
It depends on how much you are moving. A flat with modest furniture may suit a man and van with one or two movers. A larger home is a house removals job. Describe it on the quote form and we will advise.
Is Kensington or Chelsea in West or Central London?
Both labels are used. The borough is covered on this page and on the Central London page. Put the full postcodes on the quote form.
Should I request a parking bay suspension?
It can help on busy streets. The council that controls the street arranges suspensions and needs advance notice. Check through your local council and tell us what you have arranged.
Can you move a washing machine, fridge freezer or cooker?
Tell us what the appliance is and the access at each address, and we will say whether we can do it. Washing machines should be disconnected and drained, and fridge freezers defrosted. A gas cooker should be disconnected, and reconnected at the new home, by a Gas Safe registered engineer (see the HSE guidance). Heavy appliances are usually safer with two movers.
Which borough are Twickenham, Wembley and Harrow in?
Twickenham is in Richmond upon Thames, Wembley in Brent and Harrow in the London Borough of Harrow. They are listed in the table above and on the neighbouring region pages.

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.
Choose the West London guide, then send the property details.
A converted flat, managed block and larger family home need different information. Describe the load and approach at both ends so the actual job can be assessed.
Enquiry only. Agree the details and total before booking.
