Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Everything starts with a simple enquiry. You can call or email us with basic details of your move: addresses, property size, key dates and any special requirements. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation. There are no hidden extras – we explain what is included so you can make an informed decision.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most moves we carry out a survey to understand access, parking, volume of items and any fragile or unusual pieces. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Kentish Town. The survey allows us to allocate the right size vehicle, number of trained movers and any specialist equipment, helping your move run smoothly on the day.

3. Packing & Preparation

We offer flexible packing options:

Full packing service – Our team packs everything using quality materials, clearly labelling boxes by room.
Part packing – We pack fragile or high-value items, while you handle the rest.
Owner-packed – You pack your own boxes; we supply materials if required and advise on best practice.

Furniture is carefully disassembled where necessary, wrapped in protective materials, and prepared for safe loading.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional team arrives at the agreed time, carries out a brief walk-through and then begins loading. Floors, banisters and doorways are protected as needed. Items are loaded systematically and securely, with heavy and fragile goods positioned safely. We then transport your belongings directly to your new address, using well-maintained vehicles covered by goods in transit insurance.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload and place items into the rooms you specify. Furniture is reassembled where agreed, and boxes are set down safely for easy unpacking. Before we leave, we invite you to walk through and check that everything is in the right place and that you are satisfied with the service provided.

Transparent Pricing for Removals in Kentish Town

We know that moving can be expensive, so we work hard to keep our pricing fair and transparent. Our quotations are based on:

Volume of items to be moved
Access at both addresses (stairs, lifts, parking distance)
Distance between properties
Level of service (for example, full packing service vs. owner-packed)
Any special requirements (piano moving, awkward items, out-of-hours work)

We provide a written breakdown so you can see exactly what you are paying for. If anything changes before moving day, we update the quote in advance and explain any adjustments clearly.

Why Choose Professional Removals Over DIY

Hiring a professional removals company in Kentish Town offers several advantages over doing it yourself or relying on a casual man-and-van:

Safety – Correct lifting techniques and equipment help protect both you and your belongings.
Efficiency – Experienced teams complete moves more quickly, reducing stress and disruption.
Protection – Proper packing materials, furniture covers and vehicle tie-downs minimise the risk of damage.
Insurance – Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance; most DIY moves are not.
Reliability – Confirmed bookings, written terms and punctual arrivals, rather than last-minute cancellations.

While a DIY move can appear cheaper at first glance, once you factor in van hire, fuel, equipment, time off work and potential damage, a professional service often represents better overall value.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Kentishtown Removals operates to high professional standards to give you confidence throughout your move:

Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your belongings while they are being moved between properties.
Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage to third-party property.
Trained moving teams – Staff receive ongoing training in handling, packing, loading and health & safety.
Well-maintained vehicles and equipment suitable for London streets and longer journeys.

We handle your belongings as if they were our own, and we are always happy to explain exactly how our cover works and what it includes.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We believe a good removals service combines careful handling with responsible working practices:

Use of high-quality blankets, covers and wrapping for furniture and fragile items.
Protective measures for floors, carpets and banisters in both properties.
Re-usable materials such as durable crates where appropriate, to reduce waste.
Recycling of used cardboard and packing materials whenever possible.
Efficient route planning to minimise mileage and emissions, particularly for longer-distance moves.

Our aim is to move you safely and efficiently while keeping our environmental impact as low as is practical.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do removals in Kentish Town cost?

The cost of removals in Kentish Town depends on several factors: the size of your property, the volume of items, access at each address, the distance between properties and whether you require additional services such as full packing. Smaller flat moves may be completed within a half-day, while larger house or office relocations will take longer and require more staff and vehicles. We always provide a clear, written quote after discussing your requirements or carrying out a survey, so you know exactly what to budget for before you commit.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

Where our schedule allows, we can often help with same-day or short-notice removals in Kentish Town. This is particularly useful if a move date changes unexpectedly or you need to vacate a property quickly. Availability will depend on the size of the move, the time of year and our existing bookings. If you require an urgent move, contact us as soon as possible with full details. We will let you know what is realistically achievable and offer practical options to get you moved safely and efficiently.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. Your belongings are protected by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved between properties, and we also hold public liability cover. This provides reassurance in the unlikely event of damage or an incident during your move. We take every precaution to prevent problems in the first place, with trained staff, proper packing and secure loading. We are happy to explain the details of our cover, including any limits or exclusions, and you are welcome to supplement this with your own policy if you wish.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard removals service includes the supply of a vehicle, a team of professional movers, loading, transport and unloading of your belongings. We also protect furniture with blankets and covers and place items into the rooms you specify at your new property. Optional extras include full packing, part packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and disposal of certain unwanted items. When we provide your quote, we list exactly what is included so you can see which services you are paying for and add or remove options as needed.

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

A removals company like Kentishtown Removals offers a more structured and comprehensive service than a typical man-and-van. We provide trained staff, purpose-built vehicles, goods in transit insurance and public liability cover, along with packing options, written quotes and agreed schedules. Our teams are experienced in handling complex moves, heavy or fragile items and access challenges. While a man-and-van may suit very small, flexible jobs, most home and office moves benefit from the planning, reliability and protection that a professional removals service provides.

How far in advance should I book my move?

We recommend booking your Kentish Town removals at least two to four weeks in advance, particularly if you are moving on a Friday, at month-end or during peak summer periods. This gives us time to carry out a survey, plan the right resources and, if needed, arrange parking suspensions. However, we understand that completion dates and tenancies can change, so we always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. The earlier you contact us with provisional dates, the more flexibility we can offer in scheduling your move.
