Worked totals
These illustrations are taken from our Kensington (Olympia) station guide and priced from the published card, so the numbers on this page and the guide agree.
| Illustration | Crew rate | Hours | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stucco terrace conversion on Sinclair Road, 2 Men | £85 per hour | 3 | £85 × 3 = £255 |
| Mansion block flat on Hammersmith Road, 3 Men | £100 per hour | 4 | £100 × 4 = £400 |
| Flat above the Hammersmith Road shops, Driver Help | £70 per hour | 2 | £70 × 2 = £140 |
Basis: illustrations only, from the published card: rate times crew hours, 2-hour minimum. Stairs add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs; a lift-served floor adds nothing. Council charges sit outside these totals and are worked into the true-cost example below.
Around Kensington (Olympia)
A cheap removals page that knows nothing about the area is a template. The cost of a move near Kensington (Olympia) is set by its own streets: where the van can stand, how far the carry runs, and which buildings have lifts. These are the spots that shape the quotes we write here.

The exhibition halls set the rhythm of this patch.
White stucco terraces west of Holland Road, many split into flats over four floors with basement homes below the railings.
Quieter terraces directly behind the halls, popular with sharers and young families.
The broad road climbing north towards Holland Park, lined with mansion blocks and larger houses.
Victorian terraces and flats close to the station entrance, where the Overground and District line branch meet.
Parking in Kensington and Chelsea
The headline figure for a move near Kensington (Olympia): suspensions £82 per space per day, days one to five Notice: permit bays: ten working days of notice
Parking is the line most cheap quotes leave out and most movers discover on the day. Ours is set out before you book: you apply and pay Kensington and Chelsea directly, we confirm the street, the spaces and the date first, and the charge is never added to the removals quote or marked up.
The borough-wide picture, with every scheme the council runs, is on our cheap removals in Kensington and Chelsea page.

The cheap method
The card maths decides: 3 Men for 2 hours is £200, less than 2 Men for 3 hours at £255. On the moves listed for Kensington (Olympia), the bigger crew is sometimes the cheaper total.
£70 per hour suits light loads you can help carry, the kind of job that starts around Olympia London and Hammersmith Road. It is not honest cheap for a full flat: hours stretch and the saving disappears.
The arrangement near Kensington (Olympia) is applied for in good time: permit bays: ten working days of notice. A van that can load legally from the door loads faster than one circling for a gap.
Every box you do not move is time you do not buy. Charity collections and the council bulky service handle the rejects; we are not a waste carrier, and the quote says so plainly.
Batch the small jobs into the 2-hour minimum: the single item, the boxes and the bags in one run, measured first so nothing needs a second trip.
Your own packing is the biggest saving after crew size. Materials from us are published: boxes £5 each, wrap £15, tape £10 per roll.
A £70 hour with one mover who cannot carry the wardrobe alone becomes three hours. A parking penalty, or a second run for the load that did not fit, costs more than the arrangement would have. The honest cheap move near Kensington (Olympia) prices the whole job: crew, hours, parking and stairs, in writing, before the day.
The true cost
Basis: the removals line is rate times crew hours from the published card. The council line is Kensington and Chelsea’s own charge, set and charged by the council: you apply and pay the council directly, and the arrangement for your exact address is confirmed in your written quote. Stairs add £5 per floor where the carry is by stairs.
How it works
Postcodes, floor, stairs or lift, and a photo of any bay sign outside. For Kensington (Olympia), that is what decides the crew and the parking plan.

| Deposit | A deposit demanded to hold the date | No deposit. No commitment. |

Best house removal company around. The team at Vano Removals was punctual, hard-working, and handled our furniture with great care. If you need reliable, stress-free local movers or packing services, I highly recommend them.
Vano Removals moved our 2-bed flat from Croydon to Sutton last week. The two-man crew arrived on time, wrapped the sofa and TV properly, and finished quicker than I expected. Nothing was damaged. Booking was simple and the final price matched the written quote. Would use them again.
The published card: Driver Help £70 per hour, 2 Men £85 per hour, 3 Men £100 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum, so the floor is £140. From this station's own guide: Stucco terrace conversion on Sinclair Road, 2 Men: £85 × 3 hours = £255; Mansion block flat on Hammersmith Road, 3 Men: £100 × 4 hours = £400. Council parking charges are the council's and sit outside the quote.
Suspensions £82 per space per day, days one to five. Permit bays: ten working days of notice. You apply and pay Kensington and Chelsea; we confirm the street, the spaces and the date before anything is submitted, and the charge is never added to the removals quote.
Take stucco terrace conversion on sinclair road, 2 men: removals £255 (£85 × 3 hours), plus the council line: one space is five metres: two spaces for one day total £164. That is £164. All in, the illustration comes to £419, before any stair charges (£5 per floor where the carry is by stairs). The council part is paid to the council, not to us.
£5 per floor for each floor above ground where the team carries by stairs, at pickup, at delivery, or both. Floors served by a lift are not charged, and the ground floor is £0. The written quote itemises every floor charge before you book.
The minimum booking is 2 hours on every crew size, so the cheapest small move batches jobs into those 2 hours: the single item, the boxes and the bags in one run. Driver Help at the minimum is £140. A single heavy item on its own route is often better priced through our cheap single item removals page, and your quote will say which way round works out cheaper.
Driver Help at £70 per hour, £140 at the 2-hour minimum, where one mover with the van genuinely covers the job: a single room, a light flat load, the kind of job that starts around Olympia London and Hammersmith Road. The mover loads and carries at this tier too; you can lend a hand if you wish, but you are never required to. Where the load needs two people carrying at once, 2 Men at £85 is the honest cheap option, because a struggling one-person job that runs long costs more in hours.
Yes, when the hours fall faster than the rate rises. On the card, 3 Men for 2 hours is £200, which is less than 2 Men for 3 hours at £255. On a move with a long carry or several flights near Kensington (Olympia), the third pair of hands can take an hour off the job and lower the total. Your written quote sets out the crew maths before you book.
Yes: your own packing is the biggest single saving after crew size. If you want materials from us, the published extras are boxes £5 each, wrap £15 and tape £10 per roll. If the crew packs, it is charged at the same hourly crew rate, and the quote lists it as its own line.
We move your belongings to a storage unit rented in your own name, and collect them again when the new place is ready. We are a removals crew, not a storage operator: the unit contract is yours, and our part is the transport at the published hourly card, itemised in the written quote.
We are not a licensed waste carrier, so we cannot take items away for disposal. We move belongings to an address, to storage, or to a named charity that has agreed to take them. For disposal, the routes are your council bulky collection or a registered waste carrier you appoint: you can check a carrier on the Environment Agency register.
No deposit to book. Cancel or rearrange without charge up to 24 hours before your move; within 24 hours, a charge of up to 25% of the quoted price may apply. Quotes are valid for 7 days. Payment is taken at the time of service. Loading, unloading and carrying are included, as are dismantling and reassembly where booked in advance; packing is included only where booked and listed in your quote.
Insurance is as stated in your written quote: ask us to confirm in writing.
