- Basement and top-floor flats with tight stairwells

- Busy high streets and loading restrictions
We liaise with you in advance about access, lifts, loading areas and timings so that move day runs smoothly and disruption is kept to a minimum.
Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For
Homeowners
If you are moving house, upgrading your furniture or clearing a property, we can move full suites, wardrobes, beds, dining sets and more between Kennington and anywhere else in the UK.
Renters
From first-time renters to long-term tenants, we regularly help with flat moves, part-moves and moving furniture into or out of storage. We’re used to working in buildings with shared entrances and limited parking.
Landlords
We support landlords and letting agents with quick, reliable furniture removals between properties, including clearing furnished lets, replacing damaged items, and preparing properties for new tenants.
Businesses
Offices, shops, studios and clinics rely on us for planned and out-of-hours furniture moves. We handle desks, chairs, meeting tables, shelving, reception counters and more, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Students
Students moving in or out of Kennington accommodation benefit from our smaller-load services. We move beds, desks, chairs and a few boxes at sensible prices, ideal for term-time or end-of-tenancy moves.

If you have unusual, fragile or particularly heavy items, let us know in advance so we can confirm whether we can move them safely or recommend a specialist.
Our Furniture Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with the details of your move: addresses, access, item list and preferred dates. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the volume, complexity and distance involved.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we carry out a short virtual or onsite survey. This lets us assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and any items needing dismantling. It ensures we send the right-sized vehicle and the correct number of professional movers.
3. Packing & Preparation
On the day, our team arrives on time and walks through the job with you. We protect doors, banisters and floors where needed. Furniture is wrapped in protective blankets, and fragile pieces may be additionally covered or boxed. If agreed, we dismantle items like beds and large wardrobes.
4. Loading & Transport
Furniture is carefully carried, loaded and secured in the vehicle to prevent movement during transit. Our drivers follow planned routes, taking into account traffic, restricted roads and timing, ensuring your furniture arrives when expected.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the destination, we unload and place each item in the room and position you choose. If we dismantled anything, we reassemble it as agreed. Before leaving, we check that everything is in the right place and that you’re satisfied with the move.
Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our quotes are typically based on:
- Number and type of furniture items
- Distance between properties
- Number of floors and access difficulty
- Need for dismantling/reassembly
- Any packing materials or additional services
You receive a detailed quote before you book, with no hidden extras. If your requirements change (for example, you add more items), we explain any price adjustments clearly before proceeding.
Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Casual Man-and-Van?
Moving furniture yourself or using a casual man-and-van might appear cheaper, but it carries real risks:
- Lack of goods in transit insurance if furniture is damaged
- Inadequate protective equipment, blankets and straps
- Untrained handlers causing damage to walls, floors or stairwells
- Poor timekeeping or last-minute cancellations
With Kennington Movers, you benefit from a professional service, experienced teams, proper planning and full accountability. You save time, reduce stress and protect both your belongings and your property.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your belongings are important, both financially and sentimentally. That is why we maintain:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your furniture while it is being transported
- Public liability cover for peace of mind at both collection and delivery addresses
- Trained moving teams who know how to handle heavy and fragile items safely
We work to recognised industry standards, use appropriate equipment, and follow safe lifting practices to protect our staff and your goods.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. That means:
- Using padded blankets, shrink wrap and mattress protectors where needed
- Securing loads properly to prevent movement in transit
- Planning safe routes through your property to avoid damage
We also aim to work as sustainably as possible by:
- Reusing durable packing materials where hygiene and condition allow
- Recycling cardboard and plastics responsibly
- Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do furniture removals in Kennington cost?
The cost depends on how much furniture you have, access at each property, and the distance travelled. Smaller local moves might be priced on an hourly basis, while larger or more complex jobs are usually quoted as a fixed price. Factors such as stairs, dismantling and reassembly, and parking restrictions can all affect the final cost. We provide a clear, itemised quote before you commit, so you know exactly what you are paying for and can budget with confidence.
Can you handle same-day or urgent furniture removals?
Yes, we can often accommodate urgent or same-day furniture removals in Kennington, depending on our existing bookings and crew availability. If you need a rapid response, it is best to call us so we can check our schedule and give you realistic options. While we cannot guarantee same-day slots every time, we will always try to offer the earliest possible appointment and a clear timeframe so you can plan around it.
Are my items insured during the move?
Yes. Your furniture is protected by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved, as well as our public liability cover at the collection and delivery addresses. This insurance is there to provide peace of mind in the rare event that something goes wrong. We also minimise risks through careful packing, secure loading and the use of trained staff who know how to handle heavy, delicate and high-value items safely.
What is included in your furniture removals service?
Our standard service includes loading, transport and unloading of your furniture between addresses, plus basic protection using blankets and ties. We place items in the rooms you choose at the destination. If agreed in advance, we can also dismantle and reassemble certain items, supply packing materials, or move a limited number of boxes alongside your furniture. Any exclusions or additional services are clearly explained in your quote so you know exactly what is included.
How is your service different from a man-and-van?
While some man-and-van operators provide a helpful service, they may not always offer the same level of protection, reliability or insurance. With Kennington Movers, you get a professional team, fully insured vehicles, proper equipment and a structured process from quote to completion. We survey complex jobs in advance, turn up with the right crew and vehicle, and take responsibility for your furniture throughout the move, giving you greater assurance that everything will be handled correctly.
How far in advance should I book my furniture removal?
For planned moves, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially for weekends or month-end dates, which are often the busiest. Booking early gives you a better choice of time slots and allows us to arrange any parking suspensions or access requirements. However, if your timings are tight, still get in touch; we frequently fit in shorter-notice jobs when our schedule allows and will always try to find a solution that works for you.
