Kensington Movers Service Prices and Quotes
At Kensington Movers, we keep removal company prices clear, competitive and easy to understand. Whether you are booking a full home removal or a flexible man and van service, our pricing is based on what you actually need, not vague estimates. This page explains how we calculate costs, the options we offer, and example jobs around Kensington and nearby areas.
Our Transparent Pricing Model
Our pricing is built around transparency and predictability. Before you commit to anything, we explain the cost in plain language so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden extras for basics such as protective blankets, standard tools for dismantling, or fuel within our normal operating area.
We use two main structures for removal company prices in the area:
1. Load-based or cubic-yard rates for full or part loads
2. Time-based man and van cost options for flexible, smaller moves
This combination means you can choose the model that makes most sense for your move, whether you are relocating a large family home off Kensington High Street or moving a few items between studio flats in Earl's Court.
Load-Based or Cubic-Yard Rates
For full home moves and larger jobs, we typically recommend our load-based pricing. We assess the volume of your belongings in cubic yards, matching the load to the most suitable vehicle size and number of movers. This approach gives you a clear headline price for the whole job.
Key advantages of cubic-yard pricing:
- You know the total cost in advance for the agreed volume.
- Ideal for full house removals or large part loads.
- Helps you compare removal company prices in the area on a like-for-like basis.
When we carry out a survey, either via photos, video, or in-person visit, we estimate the volume of your items, taking into account furniture, boxes, and any bulky pieces like wardrobes, pianos, or large sofas. This allows us to give you a fixed or maximum price based on volume, not guesswork.
Man and Van Cost Options
Our man and van service is perfect when you need a smaller, more flexible option. It is commonly chosen by people in one-bedroom flats, students, or businesses moving a limited amount of office furniture within Kensington and surrounding boroughs.
Man and van costs are usually calculated by the hour, based on:
- Number of movers, for example one man and a van, or two men and a van.
- Size of vehicle required, from compact vans to larger Luton vans.
- Total time on site and in transit, including loading and unloading.
This pricing works well around busy locations like Kensington Olympia and South Kensington, where access, parking, and traffic can affect the duration of the move. We always provide an estimated time before the job, and we keep you updated if circumstances such as roadworks or access delays affect the plan.
Example Removal Company Prices in the Area
Every move is different, but these examples show how our pricing works in real situations around Kensington and nearby districts. Exact figures will depend on your specific inventory, access, and dates, but the structure remains consistent.
Example 1: Studio flat near Gloucester Road
A compact studio move with a small sofa, bed, wardrobe, and around 15 boxes, moving to a nearby block within a short driving distance. Access is via lift and street-side loading for both properties.
- Recommended service: Man and van, one mover plus driver
- Pricing model: Hourly, minimum booking period
- Typical duration: Around three hours including travel
- Includes: Disassembly of simple bed frame, protective wrapping for key furniture
Example 2: Two-bedroom flat off Kensington High Street
A modern two-bedroom flat with open-plan living area, typical for newer developments. Items include two beds, wardrobes, dining table, corner sofa, TV unit, and around 30 to 40 boxes. Lift access, but limited loading bay time.
- Recommended service: Load-based pricing using mid-size or large van
- Pricing model: Fixed removal cost based on cubic-yard volume
- Typical crew: Two to three movers
- Includes: Furniture protection, standard dismantling and reassembly, journey to a new property within the same wider area
Example 3: Terraced house near Holland Park
A larger family home over three floors, with multiple bedrooms, bulky furniture, garden items, and higher volume of personal belongings. Parking may require permits and careful timing to minimise disruption.
- Recommended service: Full home removal with load-based pricing
- Pricing model: Fixed or capped price after survey, based on total volume
- Typical crew: Three to four movers, larger vehicle
- Includes: Staged loading by room, additional wrapping for high-value items, coordination of access and timing
These scenarios help you compare how removal company prices in the area scale with the size, access, and complexity of each job.
What Affects Your Final Price
While we keep our structure simple, several practical factors influence the final quote:
- Property size and volume of belongings
- Distance between addresses
- Access issues such as stairs, narrow corridors, or lack of lift
- Parking and loading restrictions in busy Kensington streets
- Need for dismantling or specialist handling of fragile or oversized items
- Time of day or week, for example peak weekends or evenings
We discuss all of these points with you during the quotation process, so there are no surprises on moving day.
