Who Our House Removals Service Is For

Our professional removals service is designed to be flexible enough for almost any type of move in Kingston Upon Thames.

Homeowners

Moving out of a family home, upsizing or downsizing? We manage full household contents, garages, lofts and gardens, ensuring everything is protected and placed exactly where you want it in your new property.

Renters

Whether you are leaving a flat share or moving into a long-term rental, we work quickly and carefully to minimise disruption and help you leave the property clean and undamaged for deposit return.

Landlords

We support landlords with end-of-tenancy clear moves, part-furnished removals and moving furniture between properties, always working respectfully around existing tenants and neighbours.

Businesses

Small office at home, studio or full office move? We can relocate desks, IT equipment, stock and archives securely, with minimal downtime and clear labelling for fast set-up at the new location.

Students

From Kingston University halls to shared houses, our smaller move options are ideal for student moves. We can handle boxes, suitcases, a few bits of furniture and bikes in one straightforward trip.

What Our House Removals Service Includes

Every move is different, but a typical Kingston Movers house removal can include:

• Full or part packing service using quality materials
• Disassembly and reassembly of standard beds and flat-pack furniture
• Careful wrapping of fragile items and soft furnishings
• Protection of doors, bannisters and floors where required
• Loading, secure transport and unloading at your new home
• Placement of furniture and boxes into the correct rooms

Items Commonly Moved

• Household furniture – sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs
• Kitchen contents – appliances (where movable), crockery, cookware
• Electronics – TVs, computers, audio and home office equipment
• Personal belongings – clothes, books, ornaments and artwork
• Outdoor items – garden furniture, barbecues, tools and bikes

Items We Cannot Move

For safety, legal and insurance reasons, some items are excluded:

• Hazardous materials (fuel, gas bottles, paint thinners, chemicals)
• Illegal items or anything prohibited by law
• Open containers of liquids likely to leak
• Live animals and pets (we can advise on specialist pet transport)
• High-value jewellery, cash and important documents – these are best carried by you

If you have unusual, very high-value or specialist items such as safes, pianos or antiques, we can usually help with prior notice and, where needed, additional equipment.

Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us with your move details – current and new addresses, property sizes, preferred dates and any special requirements. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included, any optional extras, and likely timings, so you can make an informed decision.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For anything more than a very small move, we carry out a survey. This can be a video call walkthrough or an in-person visit in Kingston Upon Thames. We assess access, parking, volume of goods and any fragile or bulky items. This allows us to plan the right vehicle, team size and equipment, reducing the risk of delays on move day.

3. Packing & Preparation

If you choose our packing service, we arrive before or on move day with strong boxes, tape, wrapping paper and protective covers. Our trained team carefully packs your belongings, labelling boxes by room and contents. If you are packing yourself, we can supply materials in advance and give practical advice on safe, efficient packing.

4. Loading & Transport

On move day we protect key areas of your property as needed, then load the vehicle systematically, securing items to prevent movement in transit. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while on the vehicle. We drive directly to your new address using pre-planned routes appropriate for our vehicles.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new home, we unload and place furniture and boxes in the rooms you request. Where agreed, we reassemble beds and other standard furniture. We work with you to ensure the main items are in the right positions so you can settle in more quickly and avoid heavy lifting after we leave.

Transparent Pricing for House Removals

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

• Volume of goods to be moved
• Access at both properties (stairs, lifts, distance to parking)
• Travel distance between addresses
• Required crew size and vehicles
• Additional services such as packing, materials or storage

All expected costs are itemised in advance, so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges for standard stairs or normal waiting times within the agreed schedule. If your plans change, we will always explain any price implications clearly before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY or Man-and-Van

On the surface, moving yourself or hiring a casual man-and-van may seem cheaper. In reality, the hidden costs can be significant – time off work, damage to furniture or property, vehicle hire complications and potential injuries from heavy lifting.

With Kingston Movers you benefit from:

• Trained teams who move heavy and fragile items safely
• Efficient loading and unloading that saves hours of effort
• Specialist equipment such as trolleys, ramps and protective covers
• Goods in transit and public liability insurance
• Reliable vehicles maintained for removals work, not general use

Professional removals reduce stress, protect your belongings and help you complete your move in one planned, organised day.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We operate to high professional standards to protect you, your property and our team.

• Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to our terms and conditions.
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property or injury.
• Trained moving teams – our staff are experienced, briefed on each job and follow agreed procedures for packing, lifting and loading.

We are committed to clear communication: confirming dates, arrival windows and any special instructions in writing so you know exactly what to expect.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Your belongings and your property are treated with respect. We use padded covers for key items, furniture blankets, mattress bags and floor protection where required. Corners, bannisters and doors are protected during tight moves to minimise the risk of scuffs.

We also aim to work as sustainably as practical:

• Using reusable protective materials and blankets rather than excessive single-use plastics
• Offering box reuse and collection options where possible
• Planning routes efficiently to reduce mileage and fuel use

We balance efficiency with care, ensuring your move is both well organised and considerate.

Real-World Use Cases in Kingston Upon Thames

Moving House Locally

Many of our clients move within Kingston itself – for example from a flat near the town centre to a larger house in Berrylands. We manage parking, stair access and any time restrictions with building management to keep the move flowing smoothly.

Office and Home Office Relocations

We regularly relocate small businesses and home offices, moving desks, filing cabinets and sensitive IT equipment. Items are clearly labelled by department or function so your team can resume work quickly at the new site.

Urgent and Short-Notice Moves

Chains can change suddenly, and landlords or buyers may bring dates forward. Where our schedule allows, we provide same-day or urgent removals in Kingston Upon Thames, mobilising an appropriate crew and vehicle at short notice while still maintaining professional standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a house removal in Kingston Upon Thames cost?

The cost depends mainly on the volume of items, access at both properties, distance between addresses and any additional services such as packing. Smaller flat moves may be completed within a few hours with a smaller team, while full family homes require more time, staff and vehicle capacity. After an enquiry and survey, we provide a clear written quote with all expected costs itemised. This way you can see exactly what is included and adjust the service level to suit your budget and timescales.

Can you handle same-day or urgent moves?

Yes, where our schedule allows, we can accommodate urgent or short-notice moves within Kingston Upon Thames and nearby areas. If your completion date is brought forward or you face an unexpected tenancy deadline, contact us as soon as possible with your details. We will check vehicle and crew availability and propose the most practical solution. While we cannot guarantee same-day availability every time, we will always be honest about what is realistically achievable without compromising safety or care.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are in our vehicles, subject to our standard terms and conditions. We also hold public liability insurance for added protection. During the survey and booking stages, we will explain the key points of cover, any exclusions and the process to declare particularly high-value items. We still handle everything with great care, but the insurance provides additional reassurance that you are protected in the unlikely event something goes wrong.

What is included in a typical house removals service?

A standard service includes loading your packed boxes and furniture, protecting items with blankets and covers, transporting them to your new address and unloading them into the rooms you specify. We can also disassemble and reassemble standard beds and similar furniture by prior agreement. Optional extras include a full or partial packing service, supply of packing materials and short-term storage solutions. Everything included in your specific move will be clearly set out in your written quote so there are no surprises.

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

A casual man-and-van service usually offers basic transport only, often without formal training, insurance or detailed planning. As a professional removals company, we provide trained teams, appropriate vehicles, documented procedures and full insurance cover. We carry protective equipment, plan routes and access in advance, and allocate enough staff to move heavy or awkward items safely. This reduces the risk of damage or injury and helps ensure your entire move is completed efficiently in one coordinated operation, rather than multiple stressful trips.

How far in advance should I book my move?

Ideally, you should book your removal as soon as your move date is reasonably certain, especially for Fridays and month-end, which are usually the busiest times. For most house moves in Kingston Upon Thames, booking two to four weeks in advance gives the best chance of securing your preferred date and time. However, we understand that completion dates can change at short notice, so we always try to accommodate later bookings where our schedule permits. It is always worth calling to check current availability.
