Your friendly local mover for Surbiton villas, New Malden semis and riverside Kingston flats, fair by-the-hour rates and the same driver from start to finish.
Kingston upon Thames has a real town-centre feel that sets it apart from inner London, a riverside shopping district around the Ancient Market Place and Bentall Centre, the elegant villa streets of Surbiton (KT6), the family roads of New Malden and Worcester Park (KT3), and the suburban sprawl out to Chessington and Tolworth (KT9). It's a borough of movers: graduates leaving Kingston University, young families upsizing from a Surbiton flat to a New Malden semi, and downsizers heading to a riverside apartment by the Hogsmill. For all of it, a local man and van who knows the one-way system and the parking is worth far more than a faceless national firm.
We're out across KT1 to KT9 most weeks, from a single wardrobe collected near Kingston station to a full three-bed in Coombe. Every move is door to door with the same vetted driver, your belongings are covered by goods-in-transit insurance, and we're rated 5.0 on Google. Our rate doesn't change with the postcode: £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile, a £50 minimum and no hidden fees.

Kingston's stock spans a lot of eras. Surbiton is famous for its tall Victorian and Edwardian villas, many converted into upper-floor flats with grand but steep staircases. New Malden and Worcester Park are dominated by 1930s semis and detached houses, frequently with loft conversions reached by a narrow extra flight. The riverside and town-centre developments off Charter Quay and Queens Promenade are modern apartments with lifts, handy, though the lift is often shared and small. Coombe and Kingston Hill add larger detached homes with long drives and gated entrances. Whatever the property, our drivers dismantle and rebuild beds and wardrobes, protect floors and banisters, and carry by hand where the turns are tight.
Central Kingston is the tricky bit. The area around Clarence Street and the Ancient Market Place is pedestrianised or access-restricted, and the gyratory system funnels traffic tightly, so we time arrivals to dodge the school run and the worst of the congestion. The riverside flats off Charter Quay and Queens Promenade usually have barrier-gated parking, so we'll need a fob or a resident to let the van in. Out in Surbiton, the villa roads near the station, Maple Road, Claremont Road and their neighbours, fall in controlled parking zones, where a short council removals dispensation keeps the van legally outside while we load. New Malden and Chessington are easier, with off-street parking and driveways on most streets. Kingston sits inside the ULEZ but not the Congestion Charge zone, and our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there's nothing extra to pay.
We move right across the borough, postcodes KT1, KT2, KT3, KT6 and KT9:
Yes. Much of central Kingston around the Ancient Market Place and Clarence Street is pedestrianised or access-restricted, and the riverside developments off Charter Quay and Queens Promenade have controlled parking and barrier-gated bays. We work to the nearest legal loading point, time arrivals around the one-way system and school-run congestion, and for gated parking we'll need the fob or a resident to let us in. Tell us the block and we'll plan it.
Many of the leafy villa roads around Surbiton, Maple Road, Claremont Road and the streets near Surbiton station, sit in controlled parking zones with residents' bays. For a full house move we can advise on a short removals dispensation from Kingston Council, arranged a few days ahead, so the van can sit outside while we load. We'll tell you if your street needs one when you book.
Yes. Kingston upon Thames is inside London's Ultra Low Emission Zone and our vans are fully ULEZ-compliant, so there's no emission surcharge to pass on. Kingston is not in the Congestion Charge zone, that only covers central London, so there's no daily charge for moving here.
Definitely. New Malden and Worcester Park are full of 1930s semis and detached houses, often with steep loft-conversion staircases and a fitted study or bedroom up top. Our drivers dismantle beds and wardrobes, carry by hand where a turn is too tight, and protect carpets and banisters on the way down. Let us know about loft rooms or narrow returns and we'll bring the right kit.
Yes. Plenty of Kingston moves go a little further out, to Esher, Thames Ditton, Hampton or Wimbledon, or the other way into central London. We charge £30 per hour plus £1.50 per mile with a £50 minimum, so longer trips stay transparent. Give us both addresses and we'll quote the mileage upfront.
From a single sofa near the market to a full house out to New Malden, we'll move it carefully and quote honestly. Open Monday to Saturday, 08:00–19:00, call or send the details.
