Suitability and move details

Choosing your loading help
Start with your full item list. Check bulky furniture, boxes and access at both addresses before choosing your van.
Load yourself or book the help you need for heavy items, stairs and carrying distances.
How your booking works
For a South Kensington furniture move, agree the building’s usable route and admission contact before choosing a window. List fragile pieces and large furniture separately from boxes. Confirm preparation, any permitted lift and receiving keys so the complete load is ready for its booked carry.
A straightforward three-step booking process, with clear pricing and customer support from start to finish.

Planning your move in South Kensington
South Kensington’s Thurloe Estate setting includes different furniture exits. The adopted appraisal describes terraces with lower-ground levels reached from railed front lightwells and smaller mews behind the larger buildings. Give the actual room and usable door at your home, with outside and internal stairs separately. Our steps and bulky-furniture checklist supports the measurements, while the building-arrangements guide helps obtain current admission and moving instructions. Confirm facilities and permission with your building contact rather than inferring them from its historic form.
Agree admission and the furniture route
Agree admission and the furniture route
Give the actual entrance, room level and person available to admit the team. Record outside and internal stairs, any permitted lift and the carry from the lawful stop. List prepared furniture and fragile pieces, confirm receiving keys and select help for both routes before requesting your price.
Distinguish the lightwell entrance and mews home
Distinguish the lightwell entrance and mews home
The Thurloe Estate and Smith’s Charity appraisal describes terrace lower-ground levels accessed from front lightwells. For a home in that setting, identify whether furniture leaves through that door, the main hall or another agreed exit and record every flight.
The same appraisal describes small mews back streets behind the larger buildings. A collection there needs its own approach dimensions and current controller’s instruction for the allocated vehicle. These historic forms prompt the questions; the actual building supplies its current layout, furniture permission and admission arrangement.
Prepare fragile pieces and lift alternatives
Prepare fragile pieces and lift alternatives
List fragile items separately, with dimensions where useful and any agreed packing requirement. Measure large furniture in its travelling state through shared halls, doors and landing turns. Agree optional dismantling beforehand, keeping labelled parts and fixings together.
Confirm whether furniture can use the lift and measure its opening and cabin. Identify pieces taking the stairs even if boxes use the lift. Ask about shared-area protection, a service entrance, porter contact or a restricted moving period where your building has these arrangements, and give the agreed instruction with the booking.
Coordinate street space and the building appointment
Coordinate street space and the building appointment
Kensington and Chelsea’s guidance distinguishes reserving a bay from continuous domestic or office loading. Check the actual position and applicable conditions, then coordinate any council arrangement with private building permission.
Use the London scheduling guide to join collection and receiving windows. Give support the full inventory, prepared pieces, both routes and chosen help using the quote-preparation guide, with the destination contact ready before collection.
Hypothetical example: fragile furniture from a flat
Hypothetical example: fragile furniture from a flat
Imagine moving a prepared table, framed mirror and boxes from a South Kensington flat. The contact confirms the furniture entrance and appointment. You measure the table’s travelling section, identify the mirror’s preparation and describe lift and stair routes separately, while the recipient confirms the new room and unloading help.
