HOUSE REMOVALS · HILLINGDON

House Removals in Hillingdon

Hillingdon’s house moves run on two kinds of street. In the north, along the Metropolitan line, are the settled suburbs: Ruislip, Eastcote and Ickenham semis and village houses that load from their own driveways, and Northwood’s larger homes at the borough’s top corner. In the south are the family houses of Hayes, Yiewsley and West Drayton, planned around the Heathrow-side roads and the chains that complete through them. This page prices and plans both halves.

Every move is confirmed in a written, itemised quote before you book. Our hours are Monday to Friday 7am–8pm, Saturday 8am–6pm and Sunday 9am–4pm. The borough-wide picture sits on our removals in Hillingdon page, and Hillingdon’s local service pages are published under the Uxbridge town name.

Quick answer

House removals in Hillingdon run on the published card: 2 Men £85 and 3 Men £100 an hour (Driver Help £70 for smaller houses and part-moves), two-hour minimum, so a typical two-bed terrace totals £340 to £510 and a three-bed semi £500 to £700, including loading, unloading and carrying. Most Hillingdon houses load from their own driveway and need nothing from the council; where the van must stand on a restricted street, the council’s parking waiver costs £24.30 per day per vehicle.

Minimum booking: 2 hours
Who it is for: Semis, village houses and larger family homes

Four kinds of house move

The houses we move in Hillingdon

The Met-line semi belt

Ruislip, Ruislip Manor, Eastcote and South Ruislip: the classic interwar suburbs, three-bed semis and detached houses with driveways, side access and garages. Loading is the easy half of these moves. The real size of the job hides beyond the rooms: a boarded loft, a full garage and a garden store, counted before the crew size is set.

Ickenham and Hillingdon village houses

The borough’s village cores: older houses and cottages around Ickenham’s centre and Hillingdon village, mixed with later semis and infill. Plot shapes vary more here (a narrow drive, a shared access, a longer carry from the gate), so the approach to the door is named at quote stage alongside the inventory.

Northwood’s larger houses

The biggest homes in the borough: four and five-bed houses on wider plots towards Moor Park, with fuller lofts, double garages and bigger pieces. Driveways take care of the loading, so the plan turns on an honest inventory and, usually, the three-man crew over a full day. Downsizing moves out of these houses are planned part by part (new home, family, storage) in the one written quote.

Hayes, Yiewsley and West Drayton family houses

The southern suburbs: terraces and semis, older streets around Hayes town and newer estates towards West Drayton, most loading from a driveway or a quiet kerb. What shapes these moves is the timetable around them (the M4 corridor, the A4020 and Heathrow traffic, and completion times inside a chain), so the start time is set with the run in mind, not just the loading.

Charged per hour, 2-hour minimum booking

The two-man crew carries most Hillingdon semis and family houses; the three-man crew earns its rate on Northwood’s larger homes and anywhere the loft and garage are full. Driver Help suits a part-move (one room, the garage only) where the driver loads and carries.

These hourly rates are for house-to-house removals within London: every hour is charged at the same published rate, £85 an hour for a two-man Luton crew, the same rate from the first hour to the last. Office and commercial moves are priced in a written quote.

Your exact price is confirmed in a written quote once we know the access at both addresses.

What the card means in total

Hillingdon’s houses run from two-bed terraces in Hayes and Yiewsley to five-bed homes in Northwood and Moor Park. The rows are sized on the whole property: a full loft, garage and garden store move a house up a row, which is why they are counted separately when you enquire.

Property size	Typical crew and hours	Typical total
Studio	Driver Help, 2 hours (the minimum booking)	from £140
1-bed home	2 Men, 2 to 3 hours	£170 to £255
2-bed home	2 Men, 4 to 6 hours	£340 to £510
3-bed home	3 Men, 5 to 7 hours	£500 to £700
4-bed and larger	3 Men, 6 to 8 hours	£600 to £800

Basis: the published hourly card (Driver Help £70, 2 Men £85, 3 Men £100 an hour, two-hour minimum), checked October 2026. Totals are illustrations from the stated crew hours; your written quote confirms the total for your move.

Volume and timing

How long a Hillingdon house move takes, and what stretches it

2-bed terrace: typically 4–6 hours including travel within the borough
3-bed semi: most of a day, typically 6–8 hours once the loft and garage are counted
Larger houses: a full day on the three-man crew, sometimes split across two
The run matters too: the A40 carries the north of the borough and the M4 corridor the south; a move that crosses between the two halves is timed against both at quote stage

To make the rates concrete, here is an illustration (not a quote): a four-bed house in Eastcote, packed and ready, on the three-man crew: seven hours at £100 an hour comes to £700 for the crew. Your written quote replaces the illustration with your exact figures, including any council parking charge at either end.

Packing follows the same logic: a full pack of the whole house, or a part pack of the kitchen and fragile contents, agreed in your quote with materials at published prices: boxes £5 each, wrap £15, tape £10 a roll, and the outbuildings packed as their own groups. The detail sits on our packing services in Uxbridge page: Hillingdon’s local pages are published under the Uxbridge town name.

Parking, explained

Parking for a house move: start with the driveway

A large share of Hillingdon homes give the van a driveway to load from, and those moves need nothing from the council at all. The paperwork belongs to the restricted streets (parts of Uxbridge town centre, streets near the stations, and marked bays elsewhere) where the van has to stand on the road under a restriction.

Where a restriction applies, Hillingdon Council deals with removals through its parking waiver: the council’s own list of waiver activities includes house removals, and it publishes the waiver at £24.30 per day, for each vehicle. Where a marked bay needs suspending instead, the borough does not publish a suspension tariff: the council confirms the charge as part of the application.

These are the council’s charges (you apply and pay the council directly, never through us), and we confirm which route your two addresses need, if either, at quote stage and supply the vehicle registrations.

Booking terms: how your quote works

Your quote is confirmed in writing, with the scope itemised: crew size, vehicle, what is dismantled or packed, and parking. The price includes loading, unloading, carrying and protecting your furniture in transit, plus dismantling and reassembly where that is booked in advance. Packing and packing materials are not included unless they are booked and listed on your quote.

There is no deposit to book. Your quote is valid for 7 days. You can cancel without charge up to 24 hours before your move; cancellation within 24 hours of the move may incur a charge of up to 25% of the quoted price. Payment is taken at the time of service. Two things can change a price after booking: the move running beyond the hours in the quote, charged at your crew’s hourly rate as shown at booking, and council parking charges, which you apply for and pay the council directly as set out above.

Questions and answers

House Removals in Hillingdon: FAQs

How much do house removals cost in Hillingdon?

House crews are charged by the hour on our published card: 2 Men £85 an hour; 3 Men £100 an hour; Driver Help £70 an hour for smaller houses and part-moves, with a two-hour minimum booking and £5 for each floor where the carry is by stairs. As an illustration, a family house in Hayes, packed and ready, on the two-man crew over five hours comes to £425 for the crew. Your exact price is confirmed in a written quote once we know the volume (loft, garage and garden store included) and the loading at both addresses.

We have a semi in Ruislip or Eastcote: what do people underestimate?

The volume beyond the rooms. These semis load easily from their own driveways, which makes them look simpler than they are: a boarded loft, a garage used as a second store and a garden shed can together hold another room of carrying. List them separately when you enquire, flag anything that needs dismantling, and the crew size and hours in your quote are set on the whole property, not just the rooms.

We are moving a larger house in Northwood: how is it planned?

By inventory first, usually over a full day on the three-man crew. Northwood holds the borough’s biggest houses: more rooms, fuller lofts and garages, and larger pieces that need measuring against halls and stairs before the day. The loading is rarely the problem; most of these houses have driveways and room to work. The job is an honest list: room by room, outbuilding by outbuilding, so the day is sized on what is actually going.

We are moving within Hayes or West Drayton: is the south planned differently?

The houses work much the same way (terraces and semis that load from a driveway or a quiet kerb), but the runs and the timing differ. The south of the borough works around the A4020, the M4 corridor and Heathrow’s traffic, and family moves here often sit inside a chain with a hard completion time. Tell us the time you are working to when you enquire, and the start time in your quote is set against the traffic, not just the distance.

Do you pack, and what do materials cost?

Yes: a full pack of the whole house, or a part pack of the kitchen and fragile contents, agreed and itemised in your written quote. Materials are charged at published prices: boxes £5 each, wrap £15, tape £10 a roll. In the Met-line suburbs the packing list runs beyond the rooms: loft, garage and garden store are packed as their own groups, so tools and stored items stay together.

Do we need parking permission for a house move in Hillingdon, and what does it cost?

Houses with driveways usually need nothing. Where the van has to stand on a restricted street, Hillingdon Council deals with removals through its parking waiver: the council lists house removals among the activities a waiver can cover, and publishes it at £24.30 per day for each vehicle. Where a marked bay needs suspending instead, the council confirms the charge as part of the application, as it does not publish a suspension tariff. You apply and pay the council directly; tell us the street when you enquire and we will confirm which route your address needs, if either.

What is included in the price, and what is not?

Included: loading, unloading, carrying, and protecting your furniture in transit, plus dismantling and reassembly where the quote agrees it. Not included unless booked: packing and packing materials. Council parking charges are the council’s own: you apply and pay the council directly. If a move runs beyond the quoted hours, extra time is charged at the published hourly rate for your crew.

How far ahead should I book a Hillingdon house move?

As early as your dates allow: the diary fills first at month ends and in the school holidays, and a driveway move needs no council lead time at all. Where a waiver is needed, you apply to the council once the date is set, so the practical order is quote first, then the waiver, then the day is fixed. Shorter notice is often workable; ask and we will tell you honestly.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Insurance is as stated in your written quote: ask us to confirm in writing.

Is a deposit needed, and when do we pay?

There is no deposit to book, and payment is taken at the time of service. Your quote is valid for 7 days from the date it is issued. You can cancel without charge up to 24 hours before the move; cancellation within 24 hours may incur a charge of up to 25% of the quoted price.
