What UB books
What do removal companies in Uxbridge handle?
House and home removals in Uxbridge
Ickenham grew as Metro-land after the Swakeleys estate was sold in 1922. Its 1930s estates, Swakeleys and Ivy House among them, are streets of semis. A move like that is a full house removals job. Ask for a survey, by video or in person, so the price is fixed on what you actually own.
Flats in Hayes and West Drayton
Much of West Drayton was built in the mid-20th century as council estates. If you live in a block, say which floor, whether there's a lift and where the van can stop. Those three answers shape a flat removals quote more than the number of boxes.
Man with a van in Uxbridge
Moving out of a Brunel house share, or collecting a sofa from Yiewsley? A man and van is charged by the hour, so it suits small loads over short distances. Give the item list and both postcodes, and say if there are stairs. A Hillingdon bay suspension still applies if the van can't park legally outside.
Moving further than west London
Leaving the UB area for the Chilterns, Oxford or further? Those moves are quoted as long distance removals. If you have to be out before the new keys arrive, ask for removals and storage on the same quote.
Two councils
How do I suspend a parking bay for a removal in Uxbridge?
The UB area covers two boroughs, and each runs its own suspensions. Uxbridge, Ickenham, Hayes and West Drayton are Hillingdon. Southall, Greenford and Northolt are Ealing.
Hillingdon names domestic and office removals as a reason to suspend a bay. As of November 2026:
- £48.50 per 5m space per day, paid in full when you apply.
- Five full working days for pay-and-display and loading bays; seven for permit, shared-use and business bays. Weekends and bank holidays don't count.
- Online applications only. The council doesn't take them by phone.
- Changing or cancelling within seven days of the start costs £48.50. Refunds are only given in exceptional cases, such as cancelling eight or more days ahead.
Ealing names removal workers too. It needs at least three working days and charges £51.90 per bay per day, or £40.45 if you apply seven or more working days out. Once a bay is booked, send the dates and the exact spot to your removal company.

Local knowledge
Moving in Uxbridge: what should you know?
Hillingdon is inside London's ULEZ, so a van that fails the standard pays £12.50 a day. Denham, in Buckinghamshire, shares the UB9 postcode with Harefield but sits outside London. Ask each company which van is coming.

Uxbridge is the end of the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines, about 15 miles from Charing Cross. Brunel University has been here since 1966. Moving out of a student let? Check the tenancy end date before you book the van.

Hillingdon charges £48.50 per 5m space per day, as of November 2026, paid in full when you apply. A removal lorry often needs two or three spaces. Changing or cancelling within seven days of the start costs another £48.50.
How much notice does Hillingdon need to suspend a parking bay?
Five full working days for a pay-and-display or loading bay, and seven for a permit, shared-use or business bay. Weekends and bank holidays don't count. Hillingdon takes applications online only, not by phone.
Are Southall, Greenford and Northolt covered by the same rules?
No. They have UB postcodes but sit in the London Borough of Ealing. Ealing needs at least three working days and charges £51.90 per bay per day, or £40.45 if you apply seven or more working days ahead, as of November 2026.
Do I pay the ULEZ on a removal in Uxbridge?
Only if the van fails the emissions standard. The charge is £12.50 a day, and Hillingdon has been inside the London-wide ULEZ since August 2023. Ask each company which van it is sending.
Do removal companies covering Uxbridge also cover Ickenham, Hayes and West Drayton?
Yes. Removal companies covering Uxbridge quote across the UB postcodes, from Harefield and Ickenham (UB9, UB10) to Hayes (UB3, UB4) and West Drayton (UB7). Give both addresses and the quote covers the whole move.
Is a man with a van cheaper than a removal company in Uxbridge?
For a room or a few items, usually yes, because you pay by the hour for a smaller van. For a whole house, a removal crew with a fixed price is often better value. Tell us the size of the move and both can quote.
