Whether you are moving a single room or an entire office, our local team of trained, professional movers handle every stage with care, from initial enquiry through to final placement of furniture in your new property.

• Illegal or stolen goods
• Live animals or pets

• Valuables such as cash, jewellery, important documents (we recommend you transport these personally)

If you are unsure whether an item can be moved, ask during your enquiry and we will clarify what is and is not covered.

Local Expertise in Kennington and Surrounding Areas

Working daily in Kennington means we know the local roads, parking restrictions, building layouts and typical moving challenges very well. From mansion blocks and Victorian terraces to modern flats and offices, we know how to plan access, protect communal areas and keep neighbours on-side.

Our local knowledge helps us to:

• Schedule moves to avoid the busiest traffic where possible
• Pre-arrange parking or loading bay access where required
• Plan the right vehicle sizes for narrow streets and tight corners
• Allow enough time for lifts, stairwells and key collection on the day

This practical experience reduces delays, keeps your move on track and helps protect your belongings and the properties we work in.

Who Our Removal Services Are For

Homeowners

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing or relocating out of the area, we provide full house removals with optional packing, dismantling and reassembly. We treat your home and belongings with care, using floor and banister protection where needed.

Renters

We regularly help tenants move between flats and houses, often on tight timelines. We can handle awkward staircases, limited parking and building rules, and we work carefully to help you leave your current property in good condition for check-out.

Landlords

Our team assists landlords with partial or full property clearances, moving furniture in or out for new tenancies, and short-notice moves after end-of-tenancy. We provide a tidy, respectful service that fits around cleaners, decorators and inventory clerks.

Businesses

We support small to medium-sized businesses with office removals, internal moves and relocations. IT equipment, confidential files and specialist furniture are handled securely and methodically to minimise downtime.

Students

Students benefit from our flexible, smaller-scale removal services, ideal for moving between halls and shared houses. We can often combine loads to keep costs realistic while still providing a professional, insured service.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online form with your basic move details: addresses, property type, dates and an overview of what needs moving. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you supply, explaining what is included and any options available.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger or more complex moves, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an in-person visit. We assess access, parking, staircases, lifts and the volume of items. This allows us to allocate the correct team size, vehicle and equipment, reducing the risk of surprises on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose between:

• Full packing service – we supply materials and pack everything for you
• Part packing – we pack fragile or bulky items, you do the rest
• Self packing – you pack, and we simply load and transport

We use quality boxes, wrapping materials and furniture blankets to protect your belongings.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our trained team arrives on time, walks through the job with you and starts loading systematically. Furniture is wrapped and secured, and items are stacked safely inside the vehicle. We then transport your belongings directly to your new address in suitably sized, well-maintained vehicles.

5. Unloading & Placement

At the new property, we unload in an organised way, placing items into the rooms you specify. If agreed in advance, we can also handle dismantling and reassembly of beds, wardrobes and other flat-pack furniture. Before leaving, we check with you that everything is in the right place and remove any waste generated by our work.

Transparent Pricing for Kennington Removal Services

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our quotes are based on:

• Volume of items and size of the property
• Access at both addresses (stairs, lifts, distance to van)
• Travel distance and parking requirements
• Level of service (loading only, part packing, full packing, dismantling/reassembly)
• Time of week or year (some peak dates may carry a premium)

All expected costs are explained up front. If your requirements change, we will always discuss any price adjustments before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional Removals Instead of DIY

Hiring a professional, fully insured removals team saves you time, physical effort and potential damage. Moving heavy furniture and appliances without the correct equipment, experience and vehicle can lead to injuries, broken items and unexpected extra trips.

With Kennington Man and Van you benefit from:

• Trained staff who move items safely and efficiently
• Proper trolleys, straps, blankets and tools
• Suitable vehicles with secure loading space
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Planned timings so the day runs smoothly

Compared with a casual man-and-van or DIY hire, you gain far more control, protection and accountability.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your belongings are important, both financially and personally. Our service is built around protecting them at every stage.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your items while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to terms and conditions.
• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to third-party property during the move.
• Trained moving teams – staff are trained in safe lifting, packing, loading and customer care.

We work to consistent, documented processes so you know exactly what to expect from us in terms of punctuality, conduct and care.

Care, Protection and Sustainable Practices

We treat your belongings and properties as if they were our own. Furniture is wrapped and protected, and we take care around walls, door frames and stairwells. Where needed, we use floor protection in high-traffic areas.

We also make efforts to operate more sustainably by:

• Reusing durable moving blankets and reusable crates where appropriate
• Offering the collection and reuse of good-quality boxes
• Planning routes efficiently to reduce unnecessary mileage

This approach reduces waste and helps keep our environmental impact lower while still delivering a high standard of service.

Real-World Uses of Our Removal Services

Moving House

From studio flats to family homes, we handle local and longer-distance moves with the same level of organisation and care. We can coordinate with estate agents, key collection times and building management to keep things straightforward.

Office Relocations

Businesses rely on us to move offices with minimum disruption. We can work outside standard office hours, label and group items by department and place furniture and equipment according to your floor plan.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Sometimes circumstances change suddenly – a tenancy ending sooner than expected, a sale completing quickly or a previous mover cancelling. Where our schedule allows, we offer same-day or short-notice moves in and around Kennington, still delivered to a professional standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do your removal services cost?

Our pricing depends on the size of your move, access at both properties, distance travelled and the level of service you choose. Smaller flat moves can often be completed in half a day with a small team, while full house or office moves may require more staff and time. We always provide a clear, itemised quote before you commit, so you know what is included. There are no hidden charges for standard work, and any potential extras are discussed in advance.

Can you offer same-day or urgent removals in Kennington?

Where our schedule allows, we do provide same-day or short-notice removal services in Kennington and nearby areas. Availability will depend on existing bookings, team capacity and vehicle allocation. If you need an urgent move, contact us as early as possible with full details so we can assess what is realistic. Even at short notice, we still work methodically, prioritising the safe handling of your belongings rather than rushing the job.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance covering your belongings while they are being transported in our vehicles, along with public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. This insurance is designed to complement, not replace, your own home or business insurance. We will explain the key terms, limits and exclusions when you book. For very high-value or unusual items, please let us know in advance so we can confirm the appropriate arrangements.

What is included in a typical removals service?

A standard removal typically includes loading your packed belongings and furniture, transporting them to your new address and unloading into the rooms you specify. We supply blankets and securing equipment, and we protect furniture in the vehicle. Optional extras include packing services, provision of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of certain items and additional labour for particularly heavy or awkward objects. All inclusions and options are set out clearly in your written quotation before you decide to proceed.

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

A professional removals service, like ours, offers structured planning, trained staff, insurance cover and a clearly defined process. We carry the right equipment, use appropriate vehicles and provide written confirmation of your booking and costs. A casual man-and-van may be cheaper initially, but often lacks insurance, documentation and experience with complex moves. With us, you know who is arriving, what standard of service to expect and how your belongings will be protected throughout.

How far in advance should I book my removal?

Ideally, you should book as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, especially if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end or during peak seasons. Two to four weeks’ notice is typical for larger house or office moves, while smaller flat or student moves can sometimes be arranged sooner. However, we understand that not all moves come with much warning, so it is always worth contacting us even if your date is close – we will do our best to fit you in.
