London removals / West London moving guide / Kensington
Look beyond the front door of a Kensington address.
For a Kensington house, converted flat or managed apartment, give the actual entrance and the route from it to the belongings. State a raised-ground entrance or basement stair explicitly rather than describing the property simply as ground floor. Large furniture needs to fit every turn, not only the main doorway.
The borough's conservation-area information includes Kensington Square, Kensington Court and other distinct residential areas. It is a reminder to assess the individual building, not a reason to assume all Kensington properties share the same access. Give dimensions and known weights of awkward pieces and explain any building requirements relevant to moving them.
If the building has a manager, ask about service entrances, permitted moving times and lift reservations. If the proposed loading position is on the public road, check the current council conditions separately. A concierge's delivery instruction and a street parking permission answer different parts of the move.
Scope packing and furniture work before moving day.
For a whole-home move, include cupboards, storage rooms and furniture that needs taking apart. If you want packing help, say which rooms and which belongings need attention. Materials need advance notice, and the packing scope must be agreed rather than inferred from a removal booking.
For a single purchase or an item going between homes, send photographs alongside dimensions and known weights. Explain fragile materials or unusual handling requirements so suitability can be assessed. No specialist art, antique, piano or high-value handling service is promised merely because the collection is in Kensington.
Check the destination as closely as the collection. A large lift at the first address does not establish that the new property has the same access. For a nearby move into Chelsea or Notting Hill, confirm each entrance, loading position and assistance requirement; the short road distance is only one part of the job.
Check the loading position before the date.
The council says a suspension is not compulsory for every domestic removal. Continuous loading is subject to its conditions and the actual restrictions; reserving a bay is a separate question. Check the current guidance rather than blocking a space yourself.

Check the live signs, dates and building arrangements before the move. Council permissions and private loading bookings are not included automatically in a CityGrip quote; tell us what has actually been agreed.

Student and room moves can be discussed separately from a whole-property move. Packing, dismantling and assembly need to be requested and agreed; they are not automatic additions to loading help.

Your Kensington quote checklist
This checklist stays on your device; ticking it does not send an enquiry.
Send the item list, dimensions and known weights of bulky pieces, both postcodes, the date and the people who can allow access. Photos can help explain the load and difficult turns. Tell us if you cannot assist with carrying.
Removals run seven days a week, 8am–8pm. Card and bank transfer are accepted. Hire and reward insurance is held; goods in transit cover is available at extra cost, with applicable terms to confirm. An enquiry does not reserve a date: the details and price must be agreed before the booking is confirmed.

Kensington moving questions.
What access details matter for a Kensington conversion?
Give the actual entrance, raised-ground or basement steps, collection and delivery floors, stair turns and lift dimensions. Include item dimensions and known weights for large pieces.
Do you offer specialist handling just because an item is valuable?
No specialist service is implied. Describe the item, materials, dimensions, known weight and handling requirements before booking so suitability and any applicable cover can be discussed.
How much is a man and van in Kensington?
Van and driver only starts from £60/hour with no loading or unloading help. One mover and a van starts from £80/hour; two movers and a van from £95/hour. Confirm the vehicle, assistance, minimum booking, route and full quote for the actual job.
Does the £60/hour option include carrying help?
No. It is van and driver only. You arrange all loading and unloading at both addresses. Request one mover or two movers if you need assistance, and describe the items and access.
Can I request packing or furniture assembly?
Yes, on request and subject to assessment and agreement. Describe the rooms and items. Packing materials need advance notice; confirm the scope, inclusions and complete price before booking.
Is a quote a confirmed Kensington booking?
No. Send both postcodes, the inventory, date and access details. Availability, the proposed service and price must be agreed before the booking is confirmed. Removals hours are seven days a week, 8am to 8pm.
