Our Step-by-Step Removals Process

1. Enquiry & Quotation

Contact us by phone, email or through our website with a few details about your move: current and new address, property type, number of rooms, and your preferred date. We will give you an initial estimate, then refine it once we have more detail. All quotes are clear and easy to understand, with no hidden extras.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For anything more than a very small move, we recommend a survey. This can be done via video call or an onsite visit in Kentish Town and nearby areas. We assess access, parking, stairs or lifts, the volume of items and any special requirements such as piano moves or tight staircases. This allows us to allocate the right team, vehicle and time for your move.

3. Packing & Preparation

You can choose from:

• Full packing service – we supply all packing materials and pack everything for you, usually the day before the move.
• Part packing – we pack fragile or high-risk items such as glass, china, artwork and mirrors.
• Self-pack – you pack your own items and we just handle loading and transport. We can still supply boxes and materials if needed.

We also dismantle and protect furniture as required.

4. Loading & Transport

On moving day, our professional team arrives on time, protects floors and bannisters where required, and loads your belongings carefully using blankets, straps and trolleys. Vehicles are loaded securely to prevent movement during transit. We choose routes to avoid delays where possible and keep you updated if there are any unforeseen issues on the road.

5. Unloading & Placement

At your new property, we unload in an organised way, placing boxes and furniture into the correct rooms as directed. If we dismantled items at the pickup address, we reassemble them where agreed. Before we leave, we do a final walk-through with you to check that everything is in the right place and that you are satisfied with the service.

Transparent Pricing for Removals in Kentish Town

We price our removals fairly, based on:

• Volume of goods (or number of rooms)
• Access and parking complexity
• Distance between addresses
• Required crew size and vehicle type
• Optional services such as packing, materials and furniture assembly

For smaller moves we may use a clear hourly rate with a minimum charge; for full house or office moves we usually provide a fixed-price quote. All costs are explained upfront so you know exactly what is included before you book.

Why Choose a Professional Removal Company Over DIY

Hiring a professional removal company like Man with Van Kentish Town offers several advantages over doing it yourself or using a casual man-and-van from online adverts:

• Expert handling – trained staff know how to move heavy and fragile items safely.
• Time-saving – moves are planned and completed efficiently, often in a single day.
• Proper equipment – we use suitable vehicles, trolleys, blankets, straps and tools.
• Insured service – your belongings are covered by our goods in transit insurance.
• Reduced risk of injury – fewer strained backs and damaged staircases.

In many cases, once you factor in van hire, fuel, materials, time off work and the risk of breakages, a proper removals service represents better overall value.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take our responsibilities seriously and operate to high professional standards:

• Goods in transit insurance to protect your belongings while they are being moved.
• Public liability cover for peace of mind on your property and in communal areas.
• Trained moving teams with experience in lifting techniques, packing and load securing.
• Well-maintained, appropriate vehicles for London roads and access restrictions.

Details of cover and any limits or exclusions are provided with your quotation; we are happy to answer any questions you may have about insurance and liability.

Care, Protection & Sustainability

We treat your belongings and your property with care. This includes:

• Using removal blankets, mattress protectors and wrapping for delicate furniture
• Protecting floors, bannisters and doors where needed
• Securing loads to minimise movement in transit

We are also mindful of our environmental impact. We aim to:

• Use reusable crates and durable professional packing materials where possible
• Encourage responsible recycling of unwanted items
• Plan routes sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage

Common Real-World Removals We Handle

Moving House in Kentish Town

From split-level flats to large Victorian terraces, we manage complete home moves, often in properties with narrow hallways, top-floor walk-ups and controlled parking zones. We liaise with you on parking suspensions where required and work within building rules for lift use and access times.

Office & Business Relocations

We help local businesses relocate within Kentish Town or to other parts of London. This can include moving IT equipment, stock, shelving and furniture, and working evenings or weekends to keep disruption to a minimum.

Urgent & Short-Notice Moves

Contracts change, completion dates move and tenants’ plans can shift at the last minute. Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice moves in and around Kentish Town. Contact us as soon as your situation changes and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a removal service in Kentish Town cost?

The cost depends mainly on the size of your move, access at both properties, distance travelled and any additional services such as packing or dismantling furniture. Smaller flat moves may be charged at an hourly rate, while full house or office moves are usually quoted at a fixed price after a survey. To give you an accurate figure, we will ask about the number of rooms, any awkward items and your moving date, then provide a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden extras.

Can you handle same-day or urgent removals?

Where our schedule permits, we can take on same-day or very short-notice moves in Kentish Town and nearby areas. Availability will depend on the size of the job, time of day and existing bookings, so it is always best to call us as soon as you know you need to move. For urgent moves we may suggest a smaller team or a staged approach, but we will always be honest about what is realistically achievable in the time available.

Are my belongings insured during the move?

Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our care, as well as public liability cover for work on your premises. Insurance has limits and exclusions, so we will explain the key details when we quote, including any items that require special declaration. We always recommend that particularly high-value or irreplaceable items are discussed in advance, and that you keep important documents, keys, jewellery and cash with you rather than in the removal vehicle.

What is included in your removals service?

Our standard service includes a vehicle sized for your move, a trained removals team, loading at your old property, safe transport and unloading into the correct rooms at your new address. We also include basic protection such as blankets and straps. On top of this you can add services such as full or partial packing, supply of boxes and materials, dismantling and reassembly of furniture, and temporary storage solutions. All inclusions and optional extras are listed clearly in your quotation so you can choose exactly what you need.

What is the difference between your removals service and a basic man-and-van?

A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, often without formal training, insurance or proper equipment. Our service is a professional removals operation: planned in advance, properly insured, and carried out by trained staff using suitable vehicles and protective materials. We provide written quotations, clear terms, and can handle complex moves, packing, furniture assembly and access challenges. While we still offer smaller, van-based moves, they are delivered to the same standards as our larger removals, giving you greater peace of mind.

How far in advance should I book my move?

For the best choice of dates, especially at month-end or during busy periods, we recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed moving date – ideally two to four weeks in advance for larger moves. That said, we understand that in London things often change at short notice, so we will always try to accommodate later bookings where our schedule allows. Even if your date is not yet fixed, it is worth getting in touch early so we can advise on availability and provisional planning.
