Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your addresses, preferred dates and a rough idea of what needs moving. We then provide a clear, no-obligation estimate based on the information you give. For straightforward moves, this can often be done quickly by phone or email.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger properties or more complex relocations, we recommend a survey. This can be virtual (video call with a walk-through) or an onsite visit in Kennington. The survey lets us assess access, parking, volume of goods and any special handling needed, so we can allocate the right vehicle and team size.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer both:

• Full packing service – our team packs your belongings using quality materials and labelling.
• Part or self-packing – you pack your own items; we can supply boxes, tape and wrap if requested.

On moving day, we protect floors, banisters and doorways where needed, and prepare large items for safe transport.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained movers load your belongings systematically, securing everything with blankets and straps. Vehicles are chosen to suit Kennington roads and access. We drive carefully and plan routes to avoid unnecessary delays while keeping your goods fully insured under our goods in transit policy.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload into the rooms you specify, placing furniture where requested and reassembling agreed items. We work with you to ensure everything is positioned safely before we leave, and we take away our own protective materials.

Transparent Pricing for Kennington Removals

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Costs are based on:

• Volume of items to be moved
• Access and distance between properties
• Number of movers and vehicles required
• Optional extras such as packing services and materials
• Any special handling or timing requirements

You receive a written quote detailing what is included, so you know exactly what you are paying for. We do not add hidden charges on the day; any potential extras (such as additional drop-offs) are discussed in advance.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals team provides several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van:

• Trained staff who know how to lift, protect and load safely
• Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
• Appropriate vehicles with the right securing equipment
• Time savings – we complete moves efficiently and methodically
• Reduced risk of damage to your possessions and the property

With a structured process and accountability, you gain peace of mind that your move is being handled correctly, not improvised on the day.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Kennington Man and Van operates to clear professional standards designed to protect you and your belongings.

• 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 – our staff are experienced in lifting techniques, packing methods and secure loading.

We are happy to provide proof of insurance on request and to explain how cover applies to your particular move.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your belongings and property with the same care we would our own. Protective blankets, wraps and floor coverings are used where necessary, and items are secured properly for transport. We encourage re-use and recycling of packing materials and can collect our reusable crates and cartons by arrangement. Route planning is designed to minimise unnecessary mileage, helping reduce our environmental impact while still delivering a reliable service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removals service in Kennington cost?

Pricing depends on the volume of belongings, access at each property, distance, and any additional services you choose, such as packing. Smaller flat moves may be charged on an hourly basis, while larger house or office moves are usually quoted as a fixed price. After discussing your requirements and, if needed, carrying out a survey, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras. This allows you to compare like-for-like and understand exactly what is included before you confirm your booking.

Can you provide same-day or urgent removals?

Same-day or urgent moves are sometimes possible, depending on existing bookings and team availability. If you need to move at short notice, contact us as early in the day as you can with details of both addresses and what needs moving. We will confirm what we can realistically achieve within the time available and provide a transparent price. While urgent moves may be more limited in scope than planned relocations, we still apply the same professional standards and insurance cover.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being transported in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and declared values. We also hold public liability cover for accidental damage to third-party property. Insurance is not a substitute for proper packing, so we still recommend that fragile and high-value items are packed carefully. We can advise on the best way to protect specific items and provide details of our cover on request before you book.

What is included in a typical removals service?

A standard removals service includes provision of the vehicle, a suitable number of trained movers, loading at your old address, secure transport and unloading into the rooms you specify at your new property. Basic dismantling and reassembly of standard furniture can be included by prior agreement. Optional extras such as full or part packing services, supply of boxes and wrapping materials, and additional drop-offs can be added as required. All inclusions and exclusions are listed clearly in your written quote.

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

A professional removals service offers structured planning, fully insured operations and experienced staff who handle complex moves daily. We carry appropriate equipment, protect property and belongings, and provide written quotations and booking confirmations. A casual man-and-van may be suitable for very small, low-risk jobs, but often lacks insurance, paperwork and capacity for larger or more delicate moves. Using a dedicated removals team reduces the risk of damage, delays and unexpected costs, particularly for whole-house or office relocations.

How far in advance should I book my move?

For the best choice of dates, especially at month-end and weekends, we recommend booking at least two to three weeks in advance. This allows time for a proper survey, arrangement of parking where required and planning of packing. However, we understand that completion dates can change, so we remain as flexible as possible and will always try to accommodate moves booked closer to the day. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can offer in terms of timing and team size.
