We move here every week — so we plan around the streets, parking and building types you actually have, not a generic checklist.
Kensington is the most tightly regulated place we move house in, and the planning matters as much as the lifting. The stucco-fronted terraces around Kensington Square, Edwardes Square and the Campden Hill streets run five and six storeys over a lower ground floor, most of them listed and all of them in a conservation area, with original staircases, plaster cornicing and front railings that a careless corner can cost thousands to repair. We measure the difficult turns before the day, protect banisters, frames and cornicing as a matter of course, and send the crew a tall house genuinely needs. The mansion blocks off Kensington High Street are a different problem: a porter, a lift that often will not take a wardrobe or a large mattress, and building rules about which entrance a removal may use and at what hours. And the mews — Kynance Mews, Victoria Grove and the cobbled turnings off them — are beautiful and almost unusable, too narrow for a Luton to turn and frequently blocked by a single parked car.
Parking is not something to leave until the morning here. The Royal Borough's controlled zones are among the strictest and most expensive in the country, a bay suspension needs several working days of notice rather than a phone call the night before, and Kensington High Street and Cromwell Road are red routes where stopping is prohibited outright. We book the suspension as soon as a date is confirmed, because without one a five-storey house move turns into a long carry from wherever the van ends up. Where a property genuinely cannot have a suspension, we plan which turning gives the shortest legal carry and price the extra time honestly.
What Kensington gives back is that moves here are rarely rushed. Properties are large, chains are long, and clients tend to book weeks ahead, which is exactly how we would want it — the suspension, the lift booking and the crew all need the notice. Whether it is a listed terrace on a garden square or a mansion flat off the High Street, we bring the care, the paperwork and the people the job requires.
A move shouldn't be a project. We made it as quick as ordering a taxi.

Yes, and we plan them as listed buildings. The stucco terraces around Kensington Square and Campden Hill have original staircases and plaster cornicing that a careless corner damages expensively, so we measure the turns first and protect everything on the route.
As early as possible. A bay suspension in the Royal Borough takes several working days of notice, not a phone call the night before, so we apply as soon as your date is confirmed. Without one, a five-storey move becomes a very long carry.
No — the High Street and Cromwell Road are red routes where stopping is prohibited. We load from a side street or a booked bay instead, which is why we ask about access at both addresses when you book rather than on the morning.
Yes, and we work to the building's rules. Blocks here usually specify which entrance a removal may use and at what hours, and the lift often will not take a wardrobe or a large mattress. Tell us the building rules at booking and we plan around them.
The cobbled mews off Victoria Grove and Kynance Mews are too narrow for a Luton to turn and are often blocked by one parked car, so we plan the van position at the mews entrance and the carry from there, and we build that time into the quote.
It follows the van, the crew, the hours, the floors and the distance, and a six-storey listed house needs considerably more of all of them than a flat. The form above gives you the full figure in about a minute, before anything is committed.
Yes, fully insured, and the crew arrives with blankets, straps and protection for period door frames, banisters and cornicing as standard. The quoted price covers the whole move, with no extras added afterwards.
Yes. We have storage and can arrange it for a few days between exchange and completion, or for longer while work is being done. Ask about it at booking or contact us first and a manager will handle the space and the delivery date.
