Who Our Furniture Removals Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you are moving house, renovating, or replacing large items. We can move full room sets, garden furniture, appliances and more, ensuring each piece is properly wrapped and protected.

Renters

From studio flats to shared houses, we regularly help renters move between properties in Kennington and beyond. We are used to tight staircases, lift restrictions and strict move-in or move-out time slots.

Landlords

We assist landlords with clearing or part-clearing properties between tenancies, removing old furniture, or installing new furnishings for incoming tenants.

Businesses

Our team handles office furniture removals, small office relocations, store refits and moves for clinics, studios and workshops. We move desks, meeting tables, filing cabinets, shelving and chairs with minimal downtime.

Students

Perfect for student moves to and from halls or shared houses. We can move beds, desks, wardrobes and personal furniture without you needing to hire a van or lift heavy items yourself.

What We Can and Cannot Move

Items Typically Included

We can safely remove and transport most household and office furniture, including:

• Sofas, armchairs and sofa beds
• Beds, mattresses, wardrobes and chest of drawers
• Dining tables, chairs, sideboards and display units
• Desks, office chairs, filing cabinets and bookcases
• TV units, coffee tables and occasional furniture
• Flat-pack furniture (assembled or disassembled)
• Outdoor furniture, benches and garden sets

Items Excluded or Requiring Prior Agreement

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, the following are usually excluded unless agreed and risk-assessed in advance:

• Hazardous materials (paint, fuel, chemicals, gas bottles)
• Industrial machinery or plant
• Very high-value antiques or artwork without prior arrangement
• Pianos and pool tables (specialist move required – we can advise)
• Live animals or perishable food

If you are unsure whether we can move a particular item, mention it when you contact us and we will confirm what is possible.

Our Step-by-Step Furniture Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online form with details of what you need moved, the addresses involved and any access notes. We will ask a few straightforward questions, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote. Where helpful, we can offer options, such as adding packing or dismantling services.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger jobs or more complex properties, we carry out a brief survey. This can be virtual (photos or video call) or onsite in Kennington. The survey helps us assess access, parking, the number and type of items, and whether any items need dismantling. This allows us to allocate the right team, vehicle and equipment.

3. Packing & Preparation

On the day, we protect your furniture before it goes anywhere near the van. We use furniture blankets, covers, shrink-wrap and, where needed, corner protectors. If you have chosen our packing or dismantling service, we will carefully disassemble beds, wardrobes and tables, label parts and secure fixings so they can be reassembled correctly.

4. Loading & Transport

Our trained movers handle all lifting and loading, using trolleys and carrying straps where appropriate. We load the van in a planned order, securing furniture to prevent movement in transit. Your items are then transported directly to the destination, with routes chosen to minimise delays and avoid low bridges or tight turns where necessary.

5. Unloading & Placement

On arrival, we unload and place furniture in the rooms you specify. If we dismantled items, we will reassemble them where agreed, subject to the service level booked. Before we leave, we check you are happy with the placement and that nothing has been missed.

Transparent Pricing for Furniture Removals

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our quotes are typically based on:

• Volume and type of furniture
• Number of movers required
• Travel distance and parking considerations
• Whether packing or dismantling is needed
• Any out-of-hours or weekend requirements

You will receive a clear breakdown explaining 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 congestion or parking fees, are discussed in advance wherever possible.

Why Choose Professional Furniture Removals Over DIY

Attempting to move heavy or bulky furniture yourself, or relying on a casual man-with-a-van, often leads to damaged items, injuries, or disputes about responsibility. By using a fully insured, professional removals team:

• Your furniture is handled by trained movers using the correct techniques and equipment.
• Items are properly wrapped, secured and protected in transit.
• You are covered by goods in transit insurance and public liability if something goes wrong.
• Your move is planned and documented, with agreed arrival times and a clear scope of work.

This reduces stress, saves time, and significantly lowers the risk of damage to both your belongings and the properties involved.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As an established removals company in Kennington, we operate to professional standards on every job:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your furniture while it is being moved.
• Public liability cover for accidental damage to property or third parties.
• Trained moving teams who understand lifting, loading and protection methods.
• Well-maintained, appropriate vehicles equipped for removals work.
• Clear terms and conditions, so you know where you stand.

We treat your furniture with the same care we would use with our own, and we are always happy to explain how cover applies to your specific move.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We place strong emphasis on protection and responsible working:

• Use of high-quality blankets, covers and straps to avoid scuffs and scratches
• Floor and door protection where needed in both properties
• Encouraging reuse of boxes and materials where safe and practical
• Careful route planning to reduce unnecessary mileage and fuel use
• Recycling or donating unwanted furniture where requested and feasible

Our aim is to move your furniture safely while limiting waste and unnecessary environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do furniture removals in Kennington cost?

The cost depends on the amount and type of furniture, access at each property, distance travelled and whether you need extras such as packing or dismantling. Smaller jobs may be priced on an hourly rate with a minimum booking period, while larger moves are usually quoted at a fixed price. Once we know what needs moving and where from and to, we will provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras. If your situation changes, we can update the quote before the move day.

Can you offer same-day or urgent furniture removals?

Yes, we can often help with same-day or urgent moves in Kennington, depending on existing bookings and team availability. If you need a short-notice move, contact us as early in the day as you can with details of the items, addresses and any time limits. We will quickly confirm whether we can fit you in and provide an upfront cost. Even for urgent jobs, we still apply the same standards of protection, planning and care as we do for pre-booked moves.

What insurance cover do you provide for my furniture?

Your furniture is covered by our goods in transit insurance while it is being moved in our vehicles, and by public liability insurance for accidental damage to property or third parties. This cover is intended to give you peace of mind if the unexpected happens. We will explain any limits, excesses or exclusions that apply to your move before you book. For particularly high-value items, we may recommend additional cover or a specialist service, and we will advise you accordingly.

What is included in your furniture removals service?

As standard, our service includes the vehicle, fuel, a trained removals team, protective blankets and securing equipment, loading at the collection address, transport to the new address, and unloading into the rooms you specify. On request, we can add packing, dismantling and reassembly of certain items. Our quote will clearly list what is and is not included so you can see exactly what you are getting. If you have any specific requirements, let us know and we will build them into the plan.

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

While a casual man-and-van can be suitable for simple, low-value moves, our service is focused on professional standards and protection. We use trained staff, appropriate vehicles, professional equipment and structured planning. We also carry goods in transit and public liability insurance, and provide clear written quotes and terms. This all reduces the risk of damage, delays and misunderstandings, and is especially important when you are moving multiple or valuable furniture items or working to a tight schedule.

How far in advance should I book?

For a smooth experience and the best choice of dates, we recommend booking your furniture removals at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you need a specific day or time. However, we understand that move dates can change at short notice. If you need something sooner, contact us and we will always do our best to accommodate you. Once you are booked in, we confirm all details in writing so you know exactly when to expect us and what has been agreed.
