What Our Removals Service Includes

Typical Items We Move

As a full-service removals company, we regularly handle:

• Household furniture – beds, wardrobes, sofas, tables, chairs and cabinets
• Kitchen appliances – fridges, freezers, cookers, washing machines and dishwashers (disconnected in advance)
• Boxes of personal belongings, books, toys and clothing
• Electronics – TVs, computers, monitors, sound systems and home office equipment
• Office furniture – desks, filing cabinets, meeting tables and chairs
• Archived files and boxed documents
• Garden items, tools, bicycles and exercise equipment

Items We Cannot Move

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, there are some items we typically cannot carry:

• Illegal items or anything that breaches regulations
• Live animals (including pets – please use a specialist pet transport or your own vehicle)
• Perishable food for long-distance moves
• Large commercial machinery without prior agreement

If you are unsure about a specific item, let us know when you enquire and we will advise what is possible or suggest alternatives.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

Moving is easier when you know exactly what will happen. Our process is clear and consistent.

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with some basic details: addresses, property type, number of rooms, key dates and any access information. We then provide an initial estimate or arrange a survey if the move is more complex. All quotes are itemised and transparent, with no hidden extras.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most moves, we complete a short video or onsite survey. This lets us see access, parking, stairs and lifts, and understand the volume of furniture and boxes. The survey helps us allocate the right size vehicle, number of movers and packing materials, and is the basis of your fixed quotation.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – We supply materials and our team packs everything, room by room.
• Partial packing – We pack fragile, awkward or high-value items, you pack the rest.
• Self-pack – You pack your items, and we handle loading, transport and unloading.

We use double-walled boxes, furniture blankets and protective wrapping for delicate items. Wardrobe cartons can be provided for hanging clothes if required.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, walks through the property with you and confirms the plan. We protect key areas (floors, bannisters and doors), then systematically load the vehicle, securing items to minimise movement in transit. Your belongings are transported directly to the new address unless we have agreed storage.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload room by room and place furniture where you want it. Boxes are stacked neatly so you can access essential items first. If we have disassembled furniture, we can reassemble it as agreed in the quotation. Before we leave, we complete a final check with you to ensure everything is in the right place.

Transparent Pricing from a Local Kennington Removal Company

We price each move based on:

• Volume of items and complexity of access
• Distance between addresses
• Number of movers required
• Level of service – from transport-only to full packing service
• Any additional services, such as storage or disposal

All costs are laid out in writing before you book. If circumstances change – for example, additional items are added or dates move – we discuss any price adjustments in advance, so you remain in control of your budget.

Why Use a Professional Removal Company Instead of DIY

Hiring a professional removal company offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van service:

• Safety – Proper lifting techniques and equipment help avoid injury and damage.
• Efficiency – Experienced teams can load and unload far faster, keeping your day on schedule.
• Protection – Purpose-built vehicles, blankets and wrapping reduce the risk of breakages.
• Insurance-backed cover – Your belongings are protected by formal policies, not just good intentions.
• Planning – Reliable timing and clear communication reduce stress on moving day.

With us, you are not relying on borrowed vans, friends’ availability or uncertain quality. You get a structured, supported move from a professional local team.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously. Removals Kennington operates with:

• Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your possessions while they are being moved between properties.
• Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property.
• Trained moving teams – Staff are instructed in lifting techniques, packing methods and customer care.

Policy details and limits are available on request and will be confirmed in your quotation. For particularly high-value items, we can discuss specific arrangements to ensure appropriate cover is in place.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every move as if we were handling our own belongings. Furniture is wrapped, boxed items are stacked carefully and vulnerable areas of your property are protected where needed. We minimise journeys by planning efficient routes and consolidating loads where possible, and we reuse or recycle packing materials responsibly.

Where clients wish to reduce waste, we can collect used boxes and certain packing materials for reuse, subject to condition. We can also signpost local options for donating unwanted furniture and household items rather than sending them to landfill.

Typical Use Cases for Our Kennington Removal Service

Moving House

From studio flats to family homes, we manage house moves throughout Kennington and beyond. We can handle everything from dismantling wardrobes to carefully moving fragile items, so you can focus on keys, contracts and settling in.

Office and Business Relocations

We support small and medium-sized businesses with relocations within the local area and across London. Moves can be scheduled out of hours or at weekends to reduce downtime, with careful labelling of desks, files and IT equipment so that staff can resume work quickly.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes moves have to happen quickly – a last-minute completion date, an urgent landlord request or a sudden change of plans. Where our diary allows, we offer same-day or short-notice removals within Kennington and nearby districts, providing a calm, organised response to an otherwise stressful situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal company in Kennington cost?

Costs vary depending on the size of your move, distance, access and the level of service you choose. A small flat move within Kennington might be a few hundred pounds, while a large family home or office relocation will be more. To give an accurate figure, we prefer to carry out a short survey so we can see what is involved. We then provide a clear written quotation with all charges explained, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you book.

Can you provide same-day or urgent removals?

Where our schedule allows, we can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Kennington and nearby areas. Availability will depend on existing bookings, the size of your move and how far you are travelling. If you are facing an urgent situation, contact us as early in the day as possible with full details. We will let you know honestly what we can do, what is realistic, and whether we need to adjust the service – for example, prioritising essential items first.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are being transported, and public liability cover for the work we carry out at your properties. These policies are designed for removals work and offer a level of protection you will not usually get with casual transport. There are standard limits and conditions, which we outline in our paperwork. For particularly valuable items, it is sensible to tell us in advance so we can check cover levels or suggest additional arrangements if needed.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard service includes a professional removals vehicle, a trained team to load and unload, protective blankets and straps, and transport from your old property to the new one. We place furniture and boxes into the rooms you specify and can dismantle and reassemble basic items if agreed in advance. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of packing materials, storage, and clearance of unwanted items. Every quotation lists exactly what is included, so there is no confusion about what we will do on moving day.

How is a professional removal company different from a man-and-van?

A professional removal company offers structured planning, properly trained staff, specialist vehicles and formal insurance cover. We complete surveys, provide written quotes and allocate enough people and equipment to complete the job safely and on time. A basic man-and-van service may be fine for a single item or very small move, but often lacks protection, paperwork and accountability. With Removals Kennington, you know who is turning up, when they will arrive and how your belongings will be protected throughout the move.

How far in advance should I book my removal in Kennington?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a likely moving date, particularly if you are moving on a Friday or at month-end, when demand is higher. Two to four weeks’ notice is usually comfortable, allowing time for a survey, packing plans and any parking arrangements. However, we understand that dates can change and completions can be confirmed late. If you are working to a tight timescale, contact us as early as possible and we will do our best to accommodate you.
