Accountants in Acton
Acton has about 3,100 businesses and 14,500 jobs, with creative and knowledge firms and independent shops alongside busy industrial sites. Park Royal, on the Acton side, is covered on our Ealing page.
Working in Acton
Acton's industrial land works hard. South Acton's protected industrial site covers about 88,000 square metres with 92 businesses and 850 jobs, and The Vale is about 98,500 square metres. Trade counters sit on the working estates: Screwfix on Dukes Road, Toolstation on the Westway Estate in Telford Way, and Jewson at 2a High Street.
Acton Gardens, the rebuild of the South Acton Estate, has 3,463 homes in total, and L&Q started its last western phases of 215 homes in 12/2024. In North Acton, planning is run by the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation rather than Ealing, and towers of 56 and 51 storeys at 1 Portal Way have the backing of its planning committee.
Parking is tightening. Ealing's report of 23/6/2025 recommends moving zones E and SA to 8am to 8pm, seven days a week, instead of two one hour windows. There is no trade permit, but contractors can buy service vouchers that work across the borough at £2.60 an hour.

Questions people in Acton ask us
I am a subcontractor on Acton Gardens. Can you claim my CIS back?
If more was taken than you owe, yes. The estate rebuild has 3,463 homes in total, built in phases, so your statements may cover more than one tax year. We match each one to its year before we claim.
Do I need a permit to park my van for a job in Acton?
Ealing has no trade permit. Contractors can buy service vouchers at £2.60 an hour in books of 10, with a 4 hour maximum stay. Vouchers you buy for work are a business cost.
Who decides planning in North Acton?
The Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation, not Ealing Council. So for North Acton sites, planning news comes from OPDC.
Which stations count as Acton?
Six carry the name: Acton Main Line on the Elizabeth line, Acton Town, North Acton, East Acton, Acton Central and South Acton. We cover the whole W3 area around them.
I run a stall at Acton Market. Can you do my tax return?
Yes. The market runs Thursday to Saturday between King Street and The Mount, with clothing and food stalls. Stall income goes on a Self Assessment return, and we help you keep simple records from your phone.
