Who Our Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating for work, we plan your move around completion dates, access times and any chain-related pressures. We regularly work with local estate agents and understand how unpredictable moving day can be, so we build flexibility into our planning where possible.
Renters
From studio flats to HMOs, we help tenants move quickly while protecting walls, floors and stairwells to avoid deposit disputes. We can work to tight check-in and check-out windows and can manage awkward access, upper floors and parking restrictions common in and around Uxbridge.
Landlords
We assist landlords with void-period clearances, quick tenant changeovers, and moving or storing furniture between lets. Our teams can remove unwanted items, relocate supplied furniture and help ensure your property is ready for the next tenancy.
Businesses
From small offices to larger commercial spaces, our office removal service is designed to minimise downtime. We can work outside normal business hours, label and segregate departments, and carefully transport IT equipment, documents, and furniture so your team can get back to work quickly.
Students
With Brunel University and other colleges close by, we regularly help students move between halls, private rentals and home addresses. We offer cost-effective smaller-removal options and can combine transport for friends where practical to keep costs manageable.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Initial Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or through our website. We will ask a few clear questions about your current property, destination, move date, and any special items. Based on this, we provide an initial estimate and suggest the best service options for your move.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be a video call or an in-person visit in Uxbridge and nearby areas. The survey lets us assess access, parking, volume of goods, and any dismantling required, so we can send the right size vehicle, the correct number of movers and an accurate written quotation.
3. Packing & Preparation
We offer:
- Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you
- Partial packing – for fragile items such as glass, artwork and mirrors
- Self-pack – you pack, and we just collect and move
Our teams use quality boxes, export wrap, mattress covers and furniture blankets to protect your belongings and prevent damage to walls, floors and doors.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our trained crew arrives on time, walks through the property with you and confirms the plan. We protect key areas, carefully load the vehicle, and secure items to avoid movement in transit. Our vehicles are maintained to a high standard and driven by experienced staff who know the Uxbridge area, including typical traffic and access issues.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload in a structured way, placing boxes and furniture into the rooms you specify. If we have dismantled furniture, we reassemble it as agreed. Before we leave, we do a final walk-through with you to check everything is in place and nothing has been missed.
Transparent Pricing for Removals in Uxbridge
We believe in clear, honest pricing with no hidden extras. Your quotation will set out exactly what is included, based on the survey and your chosen services.
Typical factors affecting price include:
- Size and contents of the property (number of rooms and volume of goods)
- Distance between addresses and any additional pick-up or drop-off points
- Access and parking restrictions at either end
- Level of packing help required
- Number of movers and vehicles needed
- Day of the week and any out-of-hours requirements
We provide written quotations so you can see what you are paying for and compare like-for-like with other removal companies. If your requirements change before moving day, we will always discuss any impact on cost in advance.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van
Moving yourself, or using a casual man-and-van service, might appear cheaper at first glance, but can quickly become more stressful, time-consuming and potentially costly if something goes wrong.
With Uxbridge Movers you benefit from:
- Experienced, trained teams who know how to handle heavy, fragile and awkward items safely
- Proper goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Appropriate equipment – trolleys, dollies, blankets, straps and covers
- Planned loading so your belongings are protected and easy to unload
- Reduced risk of injury to you, your family, or your staff
- Less time off work and less disruption to your routine
For most people, the added safety, protection and peace of mind from using a professional removals company far outweigh the small savings of a DIY move.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to robust professional standards. All moves are covered by:
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are being moved
- Public liability insurance – covering accidental damage to third-party property
Our moving teams are trained in handling techniques, loading methods and customer care. We carry out regular equipment checks and vehicle maintenance, and we risk-assess complex moves in advance. On the day, the team leader will be your main point of contact to ensure everything runs as planned.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your home or business as if it were our own. Our process focuses on care and protection at every stage:
- Use of furniture blankets, mattress bags and protective coverings
- Doorway and banister protection where needed
- Secure wrapping for fragile and high-value items
- Careful route planning within properties to minimise risk
We also pay attention to sustainability by:
- Reusing and recycling boxes where appropriate
- Offering return schemes for reusable packing materials
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removals in Uxbridge cost?
The cost depends on the size of your property, the volume of items, distance between addresses, access, and whether you need packing or dismantling services. Smaller flat moves may be completed within a few hours, while larger homes or offices take longer and require more staff and vehicles. After a short conversation and, where appropriate, a survey, we provide a clear written quotation outlining exactly what is included, so you can compare it with other removal companies on a like-for-like basis.
Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?
We can often accommodate short-notice or urgent moves in and around Uxbridge, depending on existing bookings. Same-day moves are sometimes possible for smaller jobs, especially within the local area, but availability varies. The earlier you contact us, the better chance we have of finding a suitable slot and team for you. Even if we are fully booked, we will still offer guidance and realistic options to help you manage your situation safely and efficiently.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. All moves carried out by Uxbridge Movers are protected by goods in transit insurance, which covers your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles. We also hold public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to property during the move. We will explain the key points of our cover when you book and can provide a copy of our insurance details on request. For unusually high-value items, please let us know in advance so we can discuss the best way to protect them.
What is included in your removals service?
Our standard service includes providing a suitable vehicle, a trained removals team, loading at your old property, secure transport, and unloading into the rooms you choose at your new address. We also protect your furniture and property with blankets and covers as needed. Optional extras include packing and unpacking, supply of packing materials, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and short-term storage coordination. Your quotation will clearly state what is included so there are no surprises on moving day.
How is a professional removals company different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service usually offers basic transport with limited labour, equipment and insurance. A professional removals company like Uxbridge Movers provides trained staff, proper insurance, purpose-built vehicles, and the materials needed to protect your belongings and property. We plan your move, manage access and loading safely, handle heavy and awkward items correctly, and are accountable for the standard of work delivered. This typically leads to fewer breakages, less stress, and a more efficient moving day overall.
How far in advance should I book my removal?
For most moves, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance, especially if you are moving on a Friday or at the end of the month when demand is highest. That said, we understand completion dates can be confirmed at the last minute. Once you have a likely timeframe, it is worth contacting us so we can pencil you in and adjust as details become clearer. We will always try to help with late-notice moves where our schedule allows.
