How it works
Three steps and a rate that holds
Send the load and both postcodes
A photo, a list or a marketplace link is enough. We size the van and decide whether your Hanwell job needs one mover or two before quoting an hour.
Get the hourly rate in writing
Rate, minimum hours, London Borough of Ealing bay reality and any charges confirmed by message. No deposit, no doorstep re-quote.
We load, drive and carry it in
Van on the driveway, tail lift straight to the door. Blankets, straps and a trolley come as standard, and the clock stops when the last item is inside.
Why us
Why Hanwell books our vans and books them again
The hourly rate is the whole rate
£45 for one mover, £65 for two, VAT and fuel inside it. Nothing is added for blankets, straps, the trolley or the drive between your two Hanwell addresses.
Billed in half hours, not rounded up
After the two-hour minimum we charge in 30-minute blocks. A job that runs fifteen minutes over costs fifteen minutes, not a whole extra hour.
Drivers who lift, insured and DBS-checked
Every van carries goods-in-transit and public liability cover, and the driver is part of the crew rather than someone who watches you carry a sofa.
Driveway loading in Hanwell
Off-street parking is the cheapest van job in London: the tail lift goes down at your door, appliances go on the trolley, and a two-hour minimum genuinely covers a one-bed's worth of furniture.

Hourly rates include VAT, fuel, blankets, straps, a trolley and the driver's lifting help. Charging starts when the crew arrives at your collection address and stops when the last item is inside — travel between the two addresses is inside the hourly rate, and Congestion Charge and ULEZ are quoted up front, never added afterwards. Two-hour minimum.
- Parking outside your W7 door is checked against London Borough of Ealing bay hours before the slot — a legal space is a shorter carry and a shorter bill.
- ULEZ is quoted with the hourly rate and never appears as an extra at the end.
- Access here: Narrow bridges over the Brent, permit bays near the station and driveways elsewhere.

Questions
Man with a van in Hanwell answered
A man with a van in Hanwell, W7, is £45 an hour including VAT with a two-hour minimum on this side of Ealing, with 31% of W7 homes being privately rented, or £65 an hour for two movers. A single item collection and delivery is £69 and a studio or 1-bed flat move starts at £220 across W7, with The Wharncliffe Viaduct a few streets away. The rate is confirmed in writing before the van sets off around Hanwell (Elizabeth line).
Two hours, and it starts when the crew arrives at your W7 collection address in this 45% flats neighbourhood. If the job takes two hours and ten minutes you pay for two and a half — we bill in 30-minute blocks after the minimum rather than rounding a whole hour around Hanwell (Elizabeth line), with Ealing parking rules in play.
Yes. Lifting is the job, not an extra. One mover handles boxes, mattresses, flat-pack and most single items with a trolley; for a wardrobe, a sofa bed or anything going above the first floor in Hanwell, book two movers — it is usually cheaper because the hours drop around Hanwell (Elizabeth line) — and a median age of 38 in this neighbourhood, with 45% of homes here being flats.
Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day slots across Ealing and can usually get a van to Hanwell within a few hours for a single item or a small load on W7 jobs — and 14% social-rented stock nearby, with The Wharncliffe Viaduct a few streets away. Weekend mornings and month-ends book out first, so message early if your date is fixed around Hanwell (Elizabeth line).
Constantly. Send the listing or the collection address with your W7 delivery address and we quote a fixed £75 for a straightforward local pickup in this 45% flats neighbourhood, with 31% of W7 homes being privately rented. We can pay the seller on collection by prior arrangement for Hanwell (W7) addresses, with 14% social-rented stock nearby, and the item is blanket-wrapped for the drive.
A Luton with a tail lift is standard: roughly the contents of a studio or a comfortable 1-bed — a double bed, a three-seater sofa, a fridge freezer, a washing machine, a wardrobe and around twenty boxes on this side of Ealing — and this being a short walk from Hanwell (Elizabeth line), with 31% of W7 homes being privately rented. For a 2-bed we quote two movers and either a bigger load or two runs in this 45% flats neighbourhood.
We check London Borough of Ealing restriction hours and bay types for both addresses before your slot and tell you if a suspension is worth the fee on this side of Ealing — and 55% of Hanwell homes being houses, with 14% social-rented stock nearby. Where nothing legal is close, we agree the carry distance with you in advance so the hourly estimate is honest in Hanwell, with 55% owner-occupation locally.
Yes — every street in W7 and the rest of Ealing on the Hanwell rounds. 6% flats and access here means van on the driveway, tail lift straight to the door, both of which we plan around before quoting an hourly job on W7 jobs, with Ealing parking rules in play.
