Hounslow · TW3 · Moving van hire
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Hounslow fitters · Fixed written pricesHounslow TW3 is a regular stop on our Hounslow round. A long pedestrianised high street, the heath and airport-adjacent housing, so moving van hire here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £38, in writing, with driver-loaded, straps and blankets included, billed to the minute.
Overview
Booked mostly by renter-heavy households around Hounslow Central, moving van hire here covers supply-free fitting from £38. With 43% of Hounslow's 18,207 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in TW3 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
Roughly how many rooms or items, and whether there are stairs at either end. That is enough to recommend a van size and a realistic hour count.
Step 2
Van size, minimum hours and any second loader shown as separate lines, plus ULEZ, Congestion Charge or a permit where the postcode needs one.
Step 3
The driver loads and straps the van themselves; a second loader, if booked, works alongside them from the same start time.
Step 4
Furniture and boxes carried in at the new address in the same order they came out, so nothing sits blocking a hallway.
Step 5
Billing runs to the minute past the minimum booking, with no rounding up to a full extra hour for a few minutes over.
Why choose us
One driver as standard on all three van sizes, with a second loader added by the hour where stairs, a lift booking or heavy furniture make a solo load impractical. Pedestrianised high street with timed access; new blocks need booked lifts.
Same-day and next-day slots are common outside weekend peaks; weekend bookings are best made two to three days ahead in the busier boroughs. Hounslow Central (Piccadilly) is the nearest station, so a TW3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick in Hounslow, some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in TW3, 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 on these streets — measured on the walk in from Hounslow Central (Piccadilly) rather than assumed from a map.
Goods-in-transit and public liability cover apply to every booking. Drivers are DBS-checked where a building requires it, and the vehicle's ULEZ and Congestion Charge compliance is confirmed before the job is booked.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small van and driver, per hour | £38 | Min. 2 hrs | A short wheelbase van fits a handful of boxes and small furniture — the lowest hourly rate because one driver loads alone. |
| LWB Transit-class van and driver, per hour | £48 | Min. 2 hrs | A long-wheelbase van takes a one-bed flat's furniture in a single trip, which is why it is the rate most bookings land on. |
| Luton with tail-lift and driver, per hour | £58 | Min. 2 hrs | The tail-lift removes the need to carry a washing machine or wardrobe down steps by hand, and the box body takes a two-bed load without a second run. |
| Second loader, per hour | £22 | Per hour worked | Optional labour on top of any van size — the driver alone can load light items, but wardrobes, sofas and stairs need a second pair of hands. |
| Each additional hour, any van | Same as base rate | 60 min | No new call-out charge for running over — the clock simply continues at the booked hourly rate. |
| Return trip to a second address same day | £25 | Per trip | Covers the extra mileage and time where a job needs a tip run, a storage drop or a second collection address. |

The driver loading their own van is included in the hourly rate; a second loader is booked separately where the job needs stairs or heavy furniture carried.

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.
I hired hello service for my move from London to Leicester. I recommend them as best as movers compare to other companies, so I won't be worry for my next move as thinking the difficulty of house removals. I appreciate for their hard working, friendship and taking care all my belonging.

Small van and driver, per hour starts at £38 in Hounslow around Hounslow Central (Piccadilly), with a median age of 36 in this neighbourhood — and Hounslow Heath a few streets away, and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Van size first, then whether a second loader is needed on TW3 jobs. A short wheelbase van suits a few items; a Luton with tail-lift is the rate most two-bed moves land on once the tail-lift's time saving on stairs is weighed against its higher hourly cost on this side of Hounslow — and Hounslow parking rules in play, with 21% one-person households here.

Yes, a driver alone can manage boxes and light furniture on this side of Hounslow, with 21% one-person households here — and 18,207 households on this patch, but with 43% of homes here being flats, most bookings from an upper floor add a second loader at £22 an hour so a sofa or wardrobe on stairs does not slow the van down to a single item at a time.
