Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Hayes & Harlington, european removals here covers supply-free fitting from £745. With 34% of Hayes's 14,482 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in UB3 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
A walk-through call fixes the inventory and the van size, so the crossing is booked against a real volume.
Step 2
Crew hours, road miles, crossing, tolls and overnights on separate lines — no single opaque figure.
Step 3
Export-grade cartons and edge protection, because a European run is days of road vibration, not an hour across town.
Step 4
The same crew drives the load; you get progress updates and a delivery window as the run progresses.
Step 5
Furniture placed room by room at the destination, cartons unpacked if that was booked, packaging taken away.
Why choose us
Dedicated vans usually need seven to ten days' notice; part loads depend on the next van scheduled to that country, typically within a fortnight. Hayes & Harlington (Elizabeth line) is the nearest station, so a UB3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Hayes & Harlington (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map in UB3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Hayes stock goes, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
Goods in transit and public liability cover run for the whole journey, and the written inventory doubles as the customs list required at the border.
Two crew travel with the load for a dedicated van; part loads are consolidated at our depot and delivered by the driver running that route. New blocks need booked lifts and bays; older streets have driveways and canal bridges.

Scope
My daughter and her friend employed hello services to move the contents of their flat in Stevenage to their new flat in London. They arrived a little early to ensure they were ready to start at 9am The flat was at the top of the three story block of flats and the three of them… Read in full →
Booked them for one Bed Flat move from Hammersmith to Epsom. They packed all my stuff and loaded in less than 2 hours. I was also able to travel in the van to the destination. Thanks to Alan and his colleague. Forgot his name.
We had a good experience with this company for our move from London to Spain. Everything went well. They also helped us with our move out clean.

Working in Hayes
14,482 households sit inside the UB3 neighbourhood covering Hayes. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile mixed-tenure, and 34% of those homes are flats.
With 33% private renting against 45% owner-occupied, most UB3 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Hayes substrates run to solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, measured on the walk in from Hayes & Harlington (Elizabeth line) rather than assumed from a map. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, as the Hayes stock goes, and with 33% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the mistake that costs a UB3 customer twice.
Hayes is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the old EMI works, the canal and a town centre transformed by the Elizabeth line — which is why a UB3 quote is not a Hillingdon average.
On access, new blocks need booked lifts and bays; older streets have driveways and canal bridges — one reason two crew travel with the load for a dedicated van; part loads are consolidated at our depot and delivered by the driver running that route. Fitters travelling in use Hayes & Harlington (Elizabeth line).
