Our Step-by-Step Removal Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your moving details: current address, new address, property size, preferred date and any special requirements. We use this information to provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining what is included so you can make an informed decision.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most moves, we carry out a survey, either via video call or in person. We assess access, parking, the volume of items, staircases, lifts and any particularly heavy or delicate pieces. This lets us allocate the right vehicle, team size and equipment, and avoids surprises on moving day.
3. Packing & Preparation
We can supply strong packing materials, or provide a full packing service if you would like us to handle everything. Our team will carefully pack and label boxes, protect furniture with covers and blankets, and dismantle larger items where necessary. We take particular care with fragile and high-value pieces.
4. Loading & Transport
On moving day, our professional, uniformed crew arrives on time and carries out a final walk-through with you. We protect floors and banisters as needed, then load the vehicle systematically to maximise safety and stability in transit. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while in our vehicles.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload items into the rooms you specify, reassemble any furniture we dismantled, and position larger pieces so you can start settling in. Before we leave, we invite you to check through the property to ensure everything has arrived and is where you want it.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Services in {area}
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Volume of items and size of the property
- Distance between addresses
- Access issues (stairs, long carries, no lift, restricted parking)
- Level of service (self-pack or packing service, dismantling and reassembly)
- Any special handling (pianos, safes, artwork, fragile items)
We provide a written quote detailing what is included, and we are happy to explain any part of it. There are no hidden extras as long as the job matches the agreed survey.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van
Moving yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van might seem cheaper at first glance, but there are important differences:
- Trained staff who know how to lift and carry safely, protecting both your belongings and themselves
- Proper equipment: trolleys, blankets, straps, floor protection and tools
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover for your peace of mind
- Reliable timings and planned routes, reducing the risk of delays on the day
- Professional handling of complex access, heavy items and fragile possessions
When you factor in potential damage, injury, vehicle hire and lost time, a professional removal service is often the more sensible and cost-effective option.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Kennington Movers operates to high professional standards so you can trust us with your belongings:
- Goods in transit insurance covers your items while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover protects against accidental damage to property during the move
- Trained moving teams follow safe lifting techniques and industry best practice
- Well-maintained, sign-written vehicles suitable for all sizes of moves
- Written confirmation of your booking, timings and agreed services
We are happy to provide details of our insurance and answer any questions about what is covered.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every move as if it were our own. Furniture is wrapped and secured, fragile items are clearly marked and loaded appropriately, and we take care to protect doorways, bannisters and floors. Where possible, we use reusable transit blankets, crates and durable packing materials, and we aim to minimise unnecessary journeys to reduce our environmental impact. We can also collect used boxes after your move for reuse where practical.
Real-World Use Cases in {area}
Moving House
Families and individuals in {area} rely on us to move between flats, terraced houses and larger properties. We regularly coordinate moves in chains, working to specific completion times and keeping in touch with you and, where required, your agents.
Office and Commercial Relocations
Businesses in {area} use our removal services to relocate offices, small warehouses and retail spaces. We can move outside normal working hours to reduce disruption, and we work systematically so your team can get back to work quickly.
Urgent and Short-Notice Moves
Life does not always run to plan. Where our schedule allows, we accommodate urgent or same-week moves in {area}, including last-minute tenancy changes, emergency decants and short-notice business relocations. We focus on clear communication so you know exactly what is achievable within the available time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do removal services in {area} cost?
The cost of removal services in {area} depends on several factors: the size of your property, the volume of items, distance between addresses, access conditions and whether you require packing or dismantling. Smaller flat or student moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while full house or office moves are usually priced as a fixed quote. Once we have your details and, if needed, completed a survey, we provide a clear written price with no hidden extras, as long as the job matches what was agreed.
Can you provide same-day or urgent removals?
Same-day or very short-notice moves are sometimes possible, depending on our schedule and the scale of the job. For smaller moves in {area}, we are often able to respond quickly, especially midweek. Larger house or office moves are more complex to organise at short notice but we will always be honest about what we can realistically achieve. If we can help, we will outline the timings, required resources and any limitations so you can decide whether it works for your situation.
What insurance cover do you provide?
Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, and we also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to property. These policies are designed to offer realistic protection for typical household and office contents during a move. Some high-value or unusual items may require additional cover, which we are happy to discuss. We always encourage customers to check our insurance levels against their own needs and existing home or business policies.
What is included in your removals service?
Our standard removals service includes a trained team, suitably sized vehicle, loading, transport and unloading into the correct rooms at your new address. We provide basic protection for furniture and can dismantle and reassemble standard items by prior agreement. Additional options include full or partial packing, supply of packing materials, disposal of unwanted items and specialist handling for pianos or antiques. Your written quote will clearly list what is included so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service typically offers transport and basic lifting, but may not provide fully insured, trained staff, proper equipment or detailed planning. As a professional removals company, we carry appropriate insurance, use purpose-built vehicles, supply protective materials and follow a structured process from survey through to completion. This reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs. For anything more than a very small or simple move, using a professional remover will usually give a smoother and more reliable experience.
How far in advance should I book my move?
For most moves in {area}, we recommend booking as early as you can, particularly if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end or during school holidays when demand is higher. Two to four weeks’ notice is ideal for standard house moves, while larger or more complex relocations may benefit from even more planning time. That said, we regularly accommodate moves at shorter notice where our diary allows, so it is always worth getting in touch to check availability.
