Our Step-by-Step Removal Van Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your move details – locations, dates, property type, and what needs moving. We ask clear questions to understand access, parking and volume. Based on this, we provide a transparent, no-obligation quote for the appropriate removal van and team size.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex moves, we arrange a short video call or onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, stairs, lift sizes and parking, and to estimate volume accurately. A good survey prevents surprises on moving day and helps ensure we send the right number of staff and the right size van.
3. Packing & Preparation
You can choose to pack your own items, or we can provide a packing service with materials such as boxes, tape, bubble wrap and wrapping paper. We advise on labelling boxes clearly by room. On the day, we protect key items and, if required, can dismantle standard furniture ready for transport.
4. Loading & Transport
Our professional team loads your belongings systematically, using blankets, straps and floor protection as needed. Heavy and bulky items are secured safely, and fragile items are placed to avoid movement. Once loaded, we transport your goods directly to the destination, driving carefully and planning routes to avoid unnecessary delays.
5. Unloading & Placement
At the new property, we unload to the rooms you specify, placing furniture where you want it. We can reassemble items we dismantled as part of our agreed service. Before we leave, we check with you that everything has been delivered and placed as requested.
Transparent Pricing for Removal Vans in Kennington
We believe in straightforward, upfront pricing. Our quotes are based on:
- Van size and number of movers required
- Travel distance between addresses
- Expected loading and unloading time
- Optional services such as packing or furniture assembly
We typically offer fixed-price quotes for full moves, so you know the cost in advance, or hourly rates for smaller, flexible jobs. There are no hidden extras – any parking charges or congestion fees are discussed clearly before you book.
Why Use a Professional Removal Van Service Instead of DIY
Hiring a van and doing it yourself can seem cheaper, but it often leads to multiple trips, damage, injury or unexpected costs. With Kennington Man and Van you benefit from:
- Trained movers who know how to lift, carry and protect items correctly
- Proper equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets and tools
- Efficient use of space in the van, reducing trips and time
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Reliable timing and coordination on the day
This reduces the risk of damaged belongings, strained backs and wasted time, and gives you a smoother, more controlled move.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We operate to clear professional standards to protect you and your belongings:
- Goods in transit insurance to cover your items while they are in our vehicles
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property
- Trained moving teams with experience in safe handling and loading
We work methodically, keep clear records of your booking details, and confirm everything in writing. Our aim is to give you confidence that your move is in safe hands from first contact to final item placed.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat your belongings as if they were our own. That means careful wrapping of delicate items, using sufficient blankets and covers, securing loads properly and protecting floors and banisters where needed.
We also consider our environmental impact. Where possible, we reuse durable packing materials, consolidate journeys, and encourage customers to use recyclable boxes. We maintain our vehicles regularly so they run efficiently and reliably, reducing unnecessary emissions and breakdown risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a removal van in Kennington cost?
The cost depends on the size of van, number of movers, distance travelled and how long loading and unloading will take. Smaller local moves may be priced on an hourly rate, while full house or office moves are usually quoted at a fixed price. To give an accurate figure we will ask about your property, access, volume of items and any extra services such as packing. All costs, including any parking or congestion charges, are made clear before you confirm your booking.
Can you provide a same-day or urgent removal van?
Yes, we can often arrange same-day or short-notice moves in Kennington, especially for smaller jobs or partial loads, depending on availability. If you need an urgent removal van, contact us as early as possible with your details. We will check our schedule, advise what is realistic, and aim to get a suitable van and team to you quickly. While we cannot guarantee every request, we will always be honest about what we can do on the day.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We provide goods in transit insurance to cover your belongings while they are in our vehicles, subject to policy terms and declared values. We also carry public liability cover in case of accidental damage to property. We always recommend you tell us about any particularly high-value or fragile items in advance so we can confirm cover and take extra precautions. Full details of our insurance and any limits or exclusions are available on request before you book.
What is included in your removal van service?
Our standard removal van service includes the van, fuel, a trained moving team, loading, transport and unloading at the new address. We provide moving blankets and securing straps as standard. Optional extras include packing services, packing materials, disassembly and reassembly of certain items, and additional stops such as storage units. We outline exactly what is and is not included in your written quote so you know precisely what to expect on moving day.
How is a professional removal service different from a basic man-and-van?
A casual man-and-van typically offers transport only, with limited equipment and no formal insurance or standards. Our service is a professional removals operation: insured, planned and staffed by trained movers. We survey jobs properly, use the right van size, provide protective materials, and follow proven loading and handling methods. This significantly reduces the risk of damage, delays and hidden costs. If you want reliability, accountability and proper protection for your belongings, a professional removal service is the safer choice.
How far in advance should I book a removal van in Kennington?
For the best choice of dates and times, especially at month-end and weekends, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance. However, we understand that moves do not always come with much notice, so we will always try to accommodate last-minute requests where our schedule allows. Once you have a provisional moving date, it is wise to get in touch so we can pencil you in and adjust details closer to the time if needed.
