Cheap Removals near South Kensington

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: Mews house behind the terraces, Driver Help: £70 × 2 hours = £140; Onslow Square lower-ground flat, 2 Men: £85 × 2 hours = £170. Council parking charges are the council's and sit outside the quote.

Suspension £82 per space per day, days 1–5. Permit bays: 10 working days’ notice. You apply and pay Kensington & 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 mews house behind the terraces, driver help: removals £140 (£70 × 2 hours), plus the council line: each space is five metres; two spaces for one day total £164. That is £164. All in, the illustration comes to £304, before any stair charges (£5 per floor where the carry is by stairs). The council part is paid to the council, not to us.

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 Exhibition Road and the museums. 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 South Kensington, 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.

£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.

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.
