- Optional furniture disassembly and reassembly

Whether you are moving across Uxbridge, into London, or elsewhere in the UK, we plan the route, protect your items and keep you informed throughout.
Local Uxbridge Expertise You Can Rely On
Working daily in Uxbridge means we understand the area’s particular challenges: tight residential streets, controlled parking zones, student halls, busy office locations and estate access restrictions. We regularly serve:
- Uxbridge town centre and The Pavilions / Intu areas
- Brunel University and student accommodation blocks
- Residential areas around Hillingdon, Cowley and Ickenham
- Business parks and office sites around the A40 and Uxbridge Road
We liaise with you about parking, building access and lift use so move day runs smoothly, with minimal disruption to your neighbours or business operations.
Who Our Removal Van Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of Uxbridge, our vans and team handle full house moves, from flats to larger family homes. We protect furniture, appliances, artwork and personal items as if they were our own.
Renters
Moving between rented properties often comes with fixed dates and time pressures. We work around check-in and check-out times, help avoid damage that could affect your deposit, and can move you efficiently in one visit.
Landlords
Landlords use our service to clear properties between tenancies, remove unwanted items, and reposition furniture. We can work to tight changeover deadlines and coordinate access directly with agents where required.
Businesses
From small offices to retail units, we relocate desks, IT equipment, stock and files in a controlled and labelled way. We plan moves to minimise downtime and can work out of hours by arrangement.
Students
Students at Brunel and surrounding colleges rely on us for term-time and end-of-year moves. Our removal van service is ideal for moving suitcases, boxes, small furniture and bikes between halls, private rentals and home.

Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact Uxbridge Movers via phone or our online form, telling us what you are moving, your addresses and your preferred dates. We ask a few clear questions so we can provide a fair, accurate quotation with no hidden extras. You receive your quote in writing for full transparency.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done by video call, photos, or an in-person visit in Uxbridge. We assess volume, access, parking, any fragile or awkward items, and any dismantling required. This allows us to allocate the right size removal van and team.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose between self-packing or our professional packing service. If we pack, we bring quality boxes, wrapping paper and tape, and we label everything clearly. Large furniture is protected and, where needed, dismantled safely. Floors, bannisters and doors can be protected to reduce the risk of marks or damage.
4. Loading & Transport
On move day, our team arrives on time, walks through the plan with you, and starts loading in a logical order. Items are wrapped and secured inside the van with blankets and straps. We then travel via the most suitable route, keeping you updated in case of traffic or delays.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload into the rooms you specify, reassemble any furniture we dismantled, and position key items where you want them. Before leaving, we check that you are satisfied and that nothing has been missed from the checklist.
Transparent Pricing – How Our Charges Work
We believe in straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of items (and therefore the size of removal van required)
- Number of movers needed
- Travel distance between addresses
- Level of service: loading only, or including packing and unpacking
- Access issues such as stairs, long carries or difficult parking
We provide fixed-price quotes for most moves, so you know the total cost in advance. For smaller or more flexible jobs, a fair hourly rate may be offered. All costs are explained clearly before you book.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Hiring a casual van or asking friends may seem cheaper, but the hidden costs and risks can be high. With Uxbridge Movers you get:
- Trained staff who know how to lift safely and protect your belongings
- Fully insured cover, including goods in transit and public liability
- Planned loading so items arrive undamaged and easy to place
- Reliable timing – we turn up when we say we will
- Support if access, parking or timing becomes complicated on the day
DIY moves often lead to breakages, strained backs, disagreements and unexpected van hire extensions. A professional team removes the stress so you can focus on settling in.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take responsibility for your belongings very seriously. Uxbridge Movers provides:
- Goods in transit insurance to protect your items while being moved
- Public liability cover for peace of mind in and around your properties
- Trained teams following industry-standard lifting and handling practices
- Regularly maintained vehicles kept clean and suitable for furniture and boxes
Details of our cover and limits are available on request, and we are happy to discuss any high-value items that may need special attention.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Every move is planned to minimise risk of damage to your items and to your property. We use blankets, shrink wrap and mattress covers where appropriate, and we load in a structured, logical order. Floors and doorways can be protected on request, reducing wear and tear.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Whenever possible, we reuse sturdy cartons and packing materials, offer collection of used boxes for recycling, and plan efficient routes to minimise fuel usage. Choosing a local Uxbridge company reduces unnecessary mileage and emissions.
Real-World Use Cases for Our Removal Van Service
Moving House in or Around Uxbridge
Families and individuals use us for moves within Uxbridge and further afield, including into London and across the UK. We handle everything from small flats to multi-bedroom homes, often with full packing and unpacking for a smoother transition.
Office and Business Relocations
We regularly move offices, shops and small warehouses. Equipment and files are labelled and moved systematically so you can get back up and running quickly. We can schedule moves outside normal working hours to reduce disruption.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Life does not always run to a neat timetable. When moves are brought forward, tenancies end unexpectedly, or you need to vacate a property quickly, our removal van and team can often be arranged at short notice, subject to availability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in Uxbridge cost?
The cost of hiring a removal van with Uxbridge Movers depends on how much you are moving, the distance between addresses, and the level of service you choose. Smaller flat or student moves within Uxbridge can sometimes be completed within a few hours at an hourly rate, while full house moves are usually priced as a fixed job. To keep pricing fair and transparent, we ask a few questions or carry out a short survey, then provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removal van services?
We can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Uxbridge, especially outside of peak periods, but availability will depend on our existing bookings and the size of your move. If you need a last-minute removal van, call us as early as possible with details of what needs moving, your addresses and timescales. We will be honest about what we can realistically achieve and may suggest flexible options, such as moving essential items first and scheduling less urgent items for a later slot.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our care, and we also hold public liability cover for work in and around your properties. This insurance is designed to protect you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or loss caused by us. We always recommend that you also maintain your own home or contents insurance, particularly for very high-value items, and we are happy to explain how our cover applies and what steps we take to minimise risk.
What is included in your removal van service?
Our standard removal van service includes an appropriately sized van, a professional moving team, loading at your current address, safe transport and unloading at your new property. We supply protective blankets and securing straps as standard. You can add optional services such as packing, unpacking, furniture dismantling and reassembly, and materials like boxes and wrapping. Before you book, we set out exactly what is included in your quote so you know precisely what to expect on move day.
How is your service different from a basic man-and-van?
A basic man-and-van usually offers just a vehicle and a driver, with limited equipment and often no formal insurance. Our service is a professional removals operation: trained staff who handle your items carefully, fully insured cover, planned loading and unloading, and the option for packing and furniture services. We also provide written quotes, confirmed booking times and clear communication. This structured approach significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and stress compared with informal or casual alternatives.
How far in advance should I book a removal van?
For the best choice of dates and times, particularly at weekends and month-ends, we suggest booking your removal van at least two to three weeks in advance. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancy agreements can change, so we try to be as flexible as possible. If your move is sooner than that, contact us anyway; we frequently accommodate short-notice moves in Uxbridge when our schedule allows. Once booked, we confirm all details in writing so you can plan with confidence.
