We operate as a fully insured removal company and follow strict safety procedures on every job in and around Kennington.

This page explains our insurance cover, staff training, use of personal protective equipment, and our structured risk assessment process. Our goal is to provide a reliable, insured removal service that protects you, your property, the public, and our team.
Our Insurance Cover for Removals in Kennington
Choosing an insured removal company is essential for peace of mind. Man and Van Kennington maintains comprehensive public liability insurance designed to protect you and your property if something unexpected happens during your move.
Public liability insurance provides cover in the event of accidental damage to your property or injury to third parties caused by our work. Whether we are moving items through communal hallways, stairwells, or busy streets, this cover is there as an added layer of security for you and for us.
We regularly review our insurance arrangements to ensure that our policy limits and conditions are appropriate for the size and nature of the moves we undertake. By doing this, we help ensure that our level of protection keeps pace with the services we provide throughout Kennington and the surrounding areas.
Why Using an Insured Removal Company Matters
Hiring an insured removal service significantly reduces your risk during a house or office move. Accidents are rare but can happen, especially when handling heavy, bulky, or awkward items in tight spaces. By choosing Man and Van Kennington, you benefit from the reassurance that we have taken formal steps to manage and insure those risks.
Our commitment to insurance is part of a wider culture of safety. We do not simply rely on a policy document; we combine insurance protection with practical safety measures, thorough planning, and professional training to minimise the chance of incidents in the first place.
Staff Training and Safe Handling Techniques
Our team is central to delivering a safe and professional moving service. Every member of staff at Man and Van Kennington receives training in correct lifting techniques, safe loading and unloading practices, and secure packing and stacking of goods.
Training focuses on protecting both people and property. Safe manual handling reduces the risk of injury to our staff and helps prevent drops, collisions, or damage to your belongings. Team members learn how to assess the weight and shape of items, when to team-lift, and how to use moving equipment effectively.
We also provide ongoing guidance on vehicle safety, including correct load distribution, securing items inside the van, and careful driving with fragile or heavy loads. This combination of training and supervision supports consistent, safe working practices across all our jobs.
Personal Protective Equipment for Every Move
Personal protective equipment, often known as PPE, is a key part of our safety approach. Our teams use appropriate PPE to reduce the risk of injury while handling your items and working in and around your property.
Typical PPE used by Man and Van Kennington includes protective gloves for better grip and hand protection, safety footwear with reinforced toes for handling heavy items, and high-visibility clothing when working near roads, driveways, or busy access points. Where necessary, staff may also use back supports or other protective aids for specific tasks.
By equipping our team with suitable PPE, we reduce the likelihood of slips, trips, falls, and handling injuries. This not only safeguards our staff but also supports careful, controlled movement of your belongings through corridors, staircases, and doorways.
Our Risk Assessment Process
A structured risk assessment process underpins each move we carry out. Before starting work, our team considers the specific risks associated with your property, access routes, and items to be moved. This allows us to plan the safest and most efficient way to complete your move.
Key elements of our risk assessment process include examining access points such as staircases, lifts, narrow hallways, and door widths; identifying any uneven surfaces, low ceilings, or tight turns that may require extra care; assessing the weight, size, and fragility of items to determine the best handling method; and deciding what equipment, team size, and PPE will be needed for the job.
Where we identify higher risks, we implement control measures such as team-lifting, using trolleys or dollies, protecting floors and bannisters, or adjusting the route we take through a property. This proactive planning reduces the chance of damage or injury and helps keep the move on schedule.
Safe Working in Homes, Flats, and Offices
Man and Van Kennington works in a wide variety of settings, from ground-floor flats and shared houses to multi-storey offices. Each environment presents different safety considerations. Our teams are trained to adapt their approach to suit the layout and challenges of your premises.
In residential properties, we pay close attention to protecting floors, walls, and doorframes, and to maintaining clear walkways free from trip hazards such as loose packaging or scattered items. In commercial settings, we aim to minimise disruption by planning safe routes that avoid busy work areas where possible.
We always seek to work cooperatively with customers, neighbours, and building managers to coordinate safe access, loading zones, and timing. This cooperative approach supports both safety and efficiency.
Continuous Improvement in Safety and Insurance
Insurance and safety are not one-time tasks for us. Man and Van Kennington regularly reviews its procedures, training, and insurance cover to ensure they remain suitable and up to date. We learn from every job, using feedback and experience to refine our methods.
By combining robust public liability insurance, ongoing staff training, appropriate PPE, and structured risk assessments, we offer a moving service that is designed around protection and professionalism. When you choose Man and Van Kennington, you are choosing an insured removal company that takes your safety and your possessions seriously from start to finish.
