Our Step-by-Step Removal Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us with your moving details: addresses, dates, property size and any special items. We ask a few clear questions and provide an initial no-obligation estimate or arrange a survey for a more accurate quote.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
We offer surveys by video call or in person in Kenley. This lets us assess volume, access, parking, staircases and any fragile or bulky items. Based on this, we confirm a fixed, transparent quotation and agree the services you require (such as packing).
3. Packing & Preparation
On the agreed day, our trained movers arrive with the correct materials. If you choose our packing service, we pack and label boxes room by room, using protective wraps for breakables and furniture. If you are packing yourself, we can supply quality boxes and tape in advance.
4. Loading & Transport
We protect key areas of the property where needed and then load systematically, securing everything in the vehicle using straps and blankets. Your goods are covered by goods in transit insurance while in our care. Our drivers follow the safest, most efficient route to your new address.
5. Unloading & Placement
At your new property, we unload into the rooms you choose and place furniture where you want it. We can re-assemble standard beds and other furniture if agreed. Before leaving, we check you are happy that everything has been delivered and placed as requested.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We price our Kenley removal services openly and sensibly. Quotes are based on:
- Volume of goods and number of rooms
- Distance between properties
- Access difficulty and floor levels
- Whether packing materials and packing services are required
- Any special items needing extra manpower or equipment
All costs are clearly itemised before you book. There are no hidden extras for things we have agreed in advance, and we will always explain how any potential additional charges might arise (for example, if dates or scope change).
Why Use Professional Removal Services Instead of DIY?
Hiring a professional removal service in Kenley is almost always more efficient and safer than attempting a DIY move or using a casual, unregulated man-and-van. With us you benefit from:
- Trained staff who move heavy and awkward items safely
- Correct equipment – trolleys, straps, blankets and ramps
- Goods in transit insurance and public liability cover
- Accurate planning so you are not making multiple stressful trips
- Reduced risk of injury to yourself, helpers or your property
DIY moves often end up taking longer, costing more in van hire and fuel, and carrying higher risk of damage or disputes. A structured, insured service gives peace of mind and a more predictable moving day.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Every move carried out by Man with Van Kenley is fully covered by appropriate insurance and guided by robust working practices:
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your belongings while being moved and transported in our vehicles, subject to terms.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage or injury linked to our work on site.
- Trained moving teams – all staff are briefed on safe lifting, packing and loading techniques and supervised by experienced team leaders.
We are committed to turning up on time, working respectfully in your property, and dealing with any issues promptly and fairly.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We handle your belongings as if they were our own. This means:
- Using padded blankets, mattress covers and shrink wrap where appropriate
- Securing items properly in the vehicle to prevent movement
- Protecting floors and bannisters on request, especially in newly decorated homes
- Careful planning so fragile items are loaded and unloaded safely
We also work to reduce waste and our environmental impact by reusing crates and blankets, offering re-usable packing materials where possible, and consolidating journeys when it does not affect service quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do your removal services in Kenley cost?
Costs vary depending on property size, the volume of belongings, distance, access and whether you need packing services or just transport. A typical small flat move might be completed in a few hours, whereas a larger house will need a full day or more with a larger team. We provide a clear, itemised quotation after a short survey so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden charges for pre-agreed work, and we are always happy to explain how the price has been calculated.
Can you do same-day or urgent removals?
Where our diary allows, we can take on same-day or urgent moves in Kenley and nearby areas. Availability depends on the size of the move, distance and how many teams are already booked. If you are on a tight deadline, contact us as early as possible and we will tell you honestly what we can do. Even at short notice, we still follow a structured process so your belongings are moved safely and efficiently.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. Your goods are covered by our goods in transit insurance while they are being moved and transported by our team, and we also carry public liability cover. These policies are designed to protect you against the unexpected, subject to standard terms and declared values. We will explain in plain language what is and is not covered, and how to highlight any particularly valuable or delicate items so we can give them additional attention on the day.
What is included in a typical removal service?
A standard removal service includes a survey, planning, the right-sized vehicle and professional movers, all loading and unloading, and transport between addresses. We protect your furniture with blankets and wraps and place items into the rooms you specify at your new property. Optional extras include full or partial packing, supply of boxes and materials, and dismantling/re-assembling furniture. Everything included will be listed in your written quote, so you know exactly what to expect when our team arrives.
How are your services different from a basic man-and-van?
While a casual man-and-van can be fine for very small, low-risk jobs, our service is structured, fully insured and delivered by trained teams. We carry out surveys, plan access, bring the correct equipment and materials, and work to clear standards of care and safety. You also benefit from goods in transit cover and public liability insurance, as well as the reassurance that we are accountable for the quality of the service. This usually works out better value and far less stressful for full household or office moves.
How far in advance should I book my move?
For the best choice of dates, especially around month-ends and Fridays, we recommend booking as soon as you know your likely moving window – ideally two to four weeks in advance. That said, we understand that completion dates and tenancy changes can shift at short notice. We always try to be flexible and will do our best to fit you in, even if you only have a few days’ notice. The earlier you contact us, the more options we can usually offer.
