The service, locally
Long distance moves from Kensington and Chelsea priced by formula
Long distance moves from Kensington and Chelsea — all 11 areas, to anywhere in the UK. A long distance removal out of Kensington and Chelsea is two numbers and nothing else: the crew hours it takes to empty your home and the road miles to the new one, at £65 an hour and £1.50 a mile. Central London loads pay their motorway toll in minutes rather than miles: getting out of the zone is the slow part, and we plan the departure slot around it.

How it works
Three steps and a price that holds
Send both postcodes and the Kensington and Chelsea home size
Where you are leaving in Kensington and Chelsea, where you are going, how many bedrooms and the floor you are on. That is the whole input — the formula does the rest.
See the sum, not just a total
We send the crew hours, the real road miles via M1, M4 and the M25, and the two multiplications that produce your fixed price. If you disagree with an input, we change the input, not the price.
One crew loads, drives and unloads
Communal stairs carried by hand before the lorry leaves London. The same team that empties your Kensington and Chelsea home carries it into the new one — no depot transfer, no shared load, no re-quote on the day.
Why us
Why Kensington and Chelsea moves with us over the long haul
The formula is published, not negotiated
£65 an hour of crew time plus £1.50 a road mile, printed on the page before you speak to anyone. Two people moving the same load out of Kensington and Chelsea on the same day pay the same price.
Mileage is measured, not estimated
We price the road distance the lorry actually drives, not a straight line on a map. Kensington and Chelsea to Manchester is 200 road miles and is charged as 200 — a 2-bed at £560, fixed.
One crew, one vehicle, door to door
Your load is never consolidated with another household's or dropped at a depot overnight. That is why our long-distance dates hold and our damage rate stays where it is.
Stairs and conversions in Kensington and Chelsea
Half-landings and 1890s doorways decide the load hours long before the motorway does. We ask for the floor and the stair type at survey, then price the hours honestly rather than discovering them on the day.

About the area
Moving out of Kensington and Chelsea what the load looks like
The densest borough in the country — white stucco crescents, museum quarter and the Portobello and World's End ends. Market gardens turned into the Great Exhibition's Albertopolis, then estate-built stucco terraces for the Victorian wealthy. For a long-distance load that history matters twice: it decides the housing stock the crew has to carry through — stucco-fronted terraces, mansion flats, mews houses and the lancaster west and world's end estates. — and it decides how the lorry leaves. Some of the tightest CPZs in London, mews entrances under 2.1m and communal-stair-only access in many mansion blocks. Once loaded, M1, M4 and the M25 carry the run north or west, and the mileage from that junction is what you are actually paying £1.50 a mile for.
Getting out of London: M1, M4 and the M25
Central London loads pay their motorway toll in minutes rather than miles: getting out of the zone is the slow part, and we plan the departure slot around it.
