Removals Kensington, W8
Your Local Kensington Removal Company
K1 Removals is based in Chiswick, a short run along the A4 from Kensington. We regularly move families, professionals and businesses across W8 and SW7, from the stucco terraces and garden squares around Kensington High Street and Holland Park to mews houses, mansion blocks with porters and lifts, and flats near Gloucester Road and South Kensington. Whether you’re moving across the road, across London or across Europe, you get a careful, friendly team, a clear written quote and a move that’s planned properly from the first call.
- Free pre-move survey: We’ll look round in person or by video call, check access and parking, and give you a clear written quote with no hidden extras.
- Packing and unpacking: Full or part packing with quality boxes and wrapping, so fragile and valuable items arrive exactly as they left.
- Furniture dismantling and reassembly: Beds, wardrobes and large tables taken apart, moved and put back together at your new place.
- Mews houses and mansion blocks: Kensington mews often have cobbles, archways and tight turning space, and mansion blocks have porters, lifts and set move times. We size the van to the street and agree timings with your porter or managing agent in advance.
- Small moves: Just a few items, a single room or a studio flat? Our small-moves service in Kensington is a quicker, lower-cost option for smaller moves.
- Secure storage: Short or long-term storage if your completion dates don’t line up or you need space during a renovation.
- UK and European moves: Moving further afield? We handle long-distance UK moves and removals to Europe, including the paperwork for moves abroad.
- Pianos and antiques: Specialist handling, padding and equipment for pianos, antiques and artwork.

Why Kensington Chooses K1
We know Kensington’s streets, squares and mews. Most kerbside space in W8 and SW7 is for permit holders only, so we’ll help you arrange a parking bay suspension with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea well ahead of the day. We plan around the busiest spots, including Kensington High Street, Cromwell Road and the museum and Royal Albert Hall crowds in South Kensington, and for mansion blocks and serviced buildings we’ll agree lift and porter times in advance. That local knowledge is what keeps your move on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you provide?
House and flat removals, small moves, packing, storage, office moves, piano removals, student moves, and long-distance and European moves.
What do you need from me before the move?
Just your moving date, both addresses and a rough idea of what’s going. If you’re packing yourself, have boxes sealed and labelled by the time we arrive, or let us do the packing for you.
Do I need a parking suspension for the van in Kensington?
Usually, yes, as most Kensington streets are permit-only. We’ll check your street and help you arrange a bay suspension with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea so the van can park right outside.
How much notice do you need?
As much as you can give, ideally as soon as your solicitor has an expected completion date. Fridays and month-ends book up fast, but we’ll always try to help with short-notice moves.
What happens if there's a delay on moving day?
Completion days often run late and we plan for it. We’ll keep you updated throughout and talk everything through with you in advance, so there are no surprises.
Do you offer storage near Kensington?
Yes. We offer secure short and long-term storage, ideal if you’re between homes or your completion dates don’t line up.
Do you do small moves in Kensington?
Yes. For smaller moves, single items or studio flats, our small-moves service is a quicker, lower-cost option. Tell us what’s going and we’ll suggest the right size van and crew.
What access do you require for your removal?
Somewhere for the van to park as close to your door as possible, and clear access inside. We’ll flag anything tricky, like stairs, lifts or narrow hallways, at the survey.
Where can I see your reviews?
Our latest Google reviews are shown on this page, and you can read more by searching for K1 Removals on Google.
Is there anything you won't move?
We can’t carry hazardous materials such as paint, fuel or gas bottles, or very large safes. If you’re unsure about an item, just ask.
