Our Step-by-Step House Removals Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Everything starts with a quick phone call or online enquiry. We ask about your current and new addresses, property type, number of rooms, preferred move date and any access challenges. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining the services included so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be a video call walk-through or an in-person visit in Kensington. The survey lets us assess volume, access, parking, staircases and any fragile or bulky items. Proper surveying helps us send the right size vehicle, team and materials, avoiding delays on moving day.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose from:
- Full packing service – we pack everything using quality boxes, wrapping and protection.
- Part packing – we handle fragile or high-value items; you pack the rest.
- Self-packing – we supply materials if required and you pack at your own pace.
On the day, we protect floors, doors and bannisters as needed and label boxes clearly for organised unloading.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional team loads systematically, securing furniture and boxes in the vehicle to prevent movement in transit. We use covers, straps and blankets for added protection. Vehicles are maintained to a high standard and your goods are protected by our goods in transit insurance while on the move.
5. Unloading & Placement
On arrival, we unload items into the rooms you specify. Where agreed, we can reassemble beds, wardrobes and other furniture. We aim to position large pieces so you can settle in quickly, and we take away any materials we’ve supplied, leaving your new Kensington home as tidy as possible.
Transparent Pricing and How We Charge
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our removals quotes are typically based on:
- Volume of goods (number of rooms and items)
- Travel distance between properties
- Access difficulty – stairs, lifts, long carries, restricted parking
- Level of service – packing, dismantling, reassembly, materials
- Day and time – weekdays, weekends or out-of-hours
Your written quotation will clearly state what is included. If your requirements change before the move, we update the quote so you remain in control of costs at all times.
Why Choose Professional House Removals Over DIY
Hiring a professional removals company is not just about convenience. It is about risk, protection and efficiency. DIY moves or casual man-and-van options may seem cheaper, but often involve hidden costs: repeated trips, damaged items, injuries, parking fines and time off work.
With Kensington Movers you benefit from:
- Fully insured transport and handling
- Trained teams experienced with heavy and fragile items
- Proper equipment – trolleys, ramps, covers and securing systems
- Reliable timings and well-planned logistics
- Support if access or key release is delayed
*In short, you reduce stress and significantly cut the risk of damage or injury.*
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to recognised standards in the removals industry.
- Goods in transit insurance – protecting your belongings while they are in our vehicles.
- Public liability cover – for your peace of mind when we are working in your home or building.
- Trained moving teams – all staff are trained in lifting techniques, packing, furniture protection and customer care.
We are happy to explain our cover levels and provide confirmation of insurance on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every item as if it were our own. That means careful wrapping of fragile goods, use of professional protective covers for sofas and mattresses, and securing everything safely for transport. We plan access routes in and out of properties in Kensington to minimise any risk to walls, floors and communal areas.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible, we:
- Reuse durable packing materials and recycle cardboard
- Optimise routes to cut unnecessary mileage
- Encourage clients to donate unwanted items to local charities
Real-World Use Cases in Kensington
- Moving house within Kensington – for clients upgrading from flats to family homes, often with packing, dismantling and weekend moves.
- Office relocation – moving small professional practices from residential addresses to dedicated offices or vice versa.
- Urgent and short-notice moves – when chains complete quickly or tenancy dates change, we do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings.
- Student and young professional moves – compact, efficient moves between shared houses, halls and studios.
Whatever your situation, we will discuss timings, restrictions and priorities so the move fits around your life, not the other way round.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a house removal in Kensington cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, the volume of items, distance between addresses and the level of service you choose. As a rough guide, a small flat move will cost less than a full family home requiring packing and dismantling. Access, such as stairs or restricted parking, can also affect price. We always provide a clear, written quote after discussing your requirements or completing a survey, so you know exactly what you will pay before you commit.
Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?
We can often help with same-day or short-notice moves in Kensington, especially outside peak times, but availability depends on our existing bookings and team capacity. If your dates are flexible, we will suggest the nearest available slot. For genuinely urgent moves, call us as early in the day as possible so we can check vehicle and crew availability, discuss what is realistic and make a practical plan that still keeps your belongings safe and properly protected.
What insurance cover do you provide?
Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved in our vehicles. We also carry public liability cover to protect you and your property while we are working on site. These policies are designed to cover the unlikely event of accidental damage or loss directly caused by our team. We are happy to share details of our cover and limits on request, and we recommend you keep any highly valuable items listed on your own home insurance as an additional safeguard.
What is included in your house removals service?
Our standard removals service includes loading your furniture and boxed belongings, transporting them to your new address and unloading into the rooms you specify. We protect items and property with blankets, covers and floor protection as needed. You can add optional services such as full or part packing, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and provision of boxes and packing materials. Your written quotation will clearly list what is and is not included, so you can choose the level of help that suits your budget and timescales.
How is a professional removals service different from a man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van service often provides basic transport only, with limited or no insurance and little planning. A professional removals company like Kensington Movers offers trained staff, proper equipment, fully insured transport and a structured process from survey to unloading. We assess access, protect your property, secure loads correctly and provide support if things change on the day. While our service may cost more upfront than some informal options, it significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and hidden extra costs.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Ideally, you should book your Kensington house removal as soon as you have a likely moving date, especially if you are planning to move on a Friday, weekend or at the end of the month. Two to four weeks’ notice is common for standard home moves. That said, we understand that completion dates can change, and we always try to be as flexible as possible. If your move is last-minute, contact us and we will do our best to find a suitable slot.
