Kennington Movers Pricing and Free Quotes
Kennington Movers offers clear, upfront removal company prices for homes, flats and offices across Kennington and the surrounding areas. Our man and van cost structure is designed to be easy to understand, with no hidden extras and a flexible approach that suits everything from small studio moves to full family homes.
Our Transparent Pricing Model
We combine simple man and van hourly rates with load-based or cubic-yard pricing for larger moves. You only pay for the space you use and the time you need, with any additional services agreed in advance before work begins.
Every written quote clearly shows how your removal cost is calculated, including vehicle size, number of movers, estimated hours on site, travel time, and any specialist services such as packing or furniture assembly. We never add surprise charges on moving day.
Load-Based and Cubic-Yard Rates
For most standard moves we recommend using our load-based pricing, measured in cubic yards. This method is ideal when you want a firm price in advance and have a typical home or flat move.
Smaller moves or flexible jobs, such as quick pick-ups or single-item deliveries, usually work best on an hourly man and van rate. Our team will advise which structure gives you the best value once we know more about your move.
Cubic-Yard Guide for Typical Properties
While every home is different, the following guide can help you understand how removal company prices relate to property size in the Kennington area:
Studio or small one-bed flat around Albert Embankment or Kennington Lane
Often 60 to 80 cubic feet per main room, plus extra for hallway items and storage. A light-furnished studio might fit into a small van or part-load on a larger vehicle, pressed into a clearly costed cubic-yard price.
Larger one-bed or compact two-bed flat near busy stations or main roads
With more furniture, white goods and personal belongings, these often move in a medium van load. Load-based pricing lets you see precisely what you are paying for, even if we have to allow extra time for traffic or controlled parking zones.
Two or three-bed terraced home in traditional Kennington streets
These properties typically require a full load in a larger removal vehicle. We calculate the cubic-yard volume of your contents during your quote and set a fixed, all-in transport price so you know the cost before moving day.
Man and Van Cost Structure
Our man and van services are perfect for smaller moves, single items, or short-notice jobs. Prices are normally based on an hourly rate that covers the vehicle, a professional driver, and at least one additional mover.
Depending on the size and complexity of your job, we may recommend:
One man and a van
Ideal for students, light-furnished studio flats, or simple item collection from storage units. Best when there are no heavy items that require two people.
Two men and a van
The most popular choice in busy Kennington streets, especially where stairs, lifts, or narrow hallways are involved. Two movers keep loading efficient and safe, cutting down the overall time.
Team and larger vehicle
Suitable for office relocations near major junctions or larger family homes. This is still man and van style pricing, but with a clear structure based on the number of movers and load volume.
What Affects Your Removal Company Prices
Because every move is unique, final costs depend on a few key factors. We consider these when providing your free, no-obligation quote.
Property size and contents
More rooms and heavier furniture mean more cubic yards of space and more time to load and unload. We tailor the vehicle and team accordingly, making sure you do not overpay for unused space.
Access and parking
Many Kennington properties sit on busy roads or near bus lanes. If the van cannot park close to your door, or if we need to work around strict loading restrictions, the job may take longer. We build this into your quote in advance.
Floors, lifts and stairs
Top-floor flats without lifts, or properties with tight staircases, can add time to your move. Our quotes factor in these details so the man and van cost you agree reflects the real work involved, not an unrealistic minimum.
Timing and day of the week
Peak times, such as Fridays or month-end, are in high demand. Booking early helps you secure the best rates. We explain any time-based pricing differences clearly in your written quote.
Example Jobs and Typical Costs
The following examples show how our pricing model works in real Kennington situations. Exact prices are confirmed during your quote, but these scenarios show the structure and level of service you can expect.
Studio flat move near Kennington Park
A single occupant moving from a furnished studio with a few boxes, a bed, a desk and small appliances. Access is straightforward, with a lift and nearby parking. One man and a van is usually enough, charged at our standard hourly rate with a minimum booking period. Because this is a light move, the final cost stays low and predictable.
Two-bed flat from a busy main road
A couple moving from a two-bed flat above shops along a main route. There is no lift and traffic is constant, so careful planning is essential. Two men and a van are recommended, giving enough hands for safe lifting and quicker loading. We estimate the cubic-yard volume of the furniture and boxes, provide a clear load-based price, and outline approximate hours, including expected delays from traffic and parking.
Three-bed terraced house to nearby family home
A family moving between two terraced houses within the Kennington area. Furniture includes wardrobes, a large sofa, beds, dining set and garden items. We send a larger vehicle, a team of movers and provide fixed transport pricing based on the measured volume, plus a fair hourly element for loading and unloading. This blended model gives a firm guideline total with clear scope for any agreed extras such as dismantling beds or packing fragile items.
Office move close to central transport links
A small office relocating a few streets away, including desks, chairs, filing cabinets, IT equipment and documents. We visit or complete a detailed inventory, calculate the cubic-yard load, then suggest an off-peak moving slot to keep costs under control. Prices are split clearly between transport, labour, and any specialist handling for sensitive equipment.
