Moving Home in Kensington, L6 and L7
Kensington is mostly tight Victorian terraces, house shares and flats above the shops on the main road. That means narrow hallways, steep stairs and parking that can be tricky on the busier stretches near Kensington Gardens and Jubilee Drive. We plan for it, take furniture apart where it will not fit, and get it rebuilt at the other end.
Our man and van Liverpool base is on Smithdown Road, so Kensington is just up the road for us. Whether you are moving a single room to a new student let, clearing a flat or moving a full family home, we can usually fit you in at short notice, though booking two or more days ahead gives you the best pick of times.
- Room and house-share moves near the universities
- Fully insured while your things are in our care
- Open 7 days, 8am to 9pm

Questions People Ask
Do you cover all of Kensington?
Yes, we cover all of Kensington across the L6 and L7 postcodes, so wherever you live in the area we can help with your move.
That takes in the shops along Kensington itself, the streets around Kensington Gardens, Jubilee Drive and Kensington Fields, and the roads running towards Edge Lane. We also work in the neighbourhoods right next door, including Fairfield, Edge Hill and Tuebrook, so a move from one side of the area to the other, or a short hop into the next district, is no problem at all.
Most of the jobs we do here are moves between terraces, house shares and flats above the shops, but we also handle single items, Marketplace buys and full family homes. If you are not sure whether your street is covered, send us your postcode on WhatsApp at 07494 947 303 and we will confirm straight away. You can also see every place we work on our areas we cover page. We are open seven days a week, 8am to 9pm.
Can you help with student moves in Kensington?
Yes, we help with plenty of student moves in Kensington, because the area is close to the universities and full of shared houses.
Many of the jobs we do here are room moves and house-share moves at the start and end of tenancies, when lots of people are moving on the same few days. Our student moves service is built for this, whether you are moving a single room into a new let nearby, taking your things back home at the end of the year, or moving a whole house share at once. We can take beds and desks apart, wrap anything fragile and rebuild furniture at the other end.
To get a price, send us a list or a photo of what you have on WhatsApp, along with both postcodes and whether there are stairs. If you and your housemates are moving on the same day, tell us so we can plan the order of drop-offs. Booking two or more days ahead is a good idea at busy times. If you only have a small amount, our single item delivery may suit you better.
How far are you from Kensington?
We are very close: our base is on Smithdown Road in L7, so Kensington is just up the road from us.
Being this near means we are in Kensington often, for full house moves, flat moves, student rooms and smaller jobs like a sofa or a Marketplace pickup. It also means we can often fit in a job at short notice if your plans change or a moving date comes round quicker than expected. Even so, we recommend booking two or more days ahead where you can, so you get the day and time that suits you best, especially at the end of the month when tenancies change over.
The short distance also helps keep local moves good value. Prices start from £50 and we agree a clear price with you before you book, so there are no surprises on the day. Whether you are moving a few streets to Edge Hill or right across the country, we follow the same careful process. Take a look at our house moves page to see how the day works.
Is parking a problem on Kensington streets?
Parking can be tricky on some Kensington streets, but we plan for it so loading stays quick and safe.
Many streets here are narrow Victorian terraces with cars parked on both sides, and the main road near Kensington Gardens gets busy at most times of day. That can make it harder to stop the van close to your door. When you book, tell us your street and house number, and we will work out the best place to pull up and how far we will need to carry things. For flats above the shops, we will also ask about rear access and stairs.
There are a few things you can do to help on the day. If you can, ask neighbours to leave a space outside for an hour or two, or move your own car to free one up. Let us know about steps, narrow hallways or shared entrances before we arrive. All of this can go in the quote form or a message through our contact page. If you are moving out of a flat, our flat moves service covers stairs and tight landings as well.
Can you move me out of a flat above a shop on Kensington?
Yes, we regularly move people out of flats above the shops on Kensington, steep stairs and all.
These flats often have narrow, steep staircases, tight turns and small landings, which make it hard to get large furniture out in one piece. We take beds, wardrobes and tables apart where needed, keep the fixings together, wrap each part to protect it and carry it down carefully. Once everything is at your new place, we rebuild the furniture so you are not left with a pile of parts. Some of these flats are reached from the back of the building, so let us know if that is the case.
When you ask for a quote, tell us which floor you are on, whether there is a lift (most of these flats do not have one) and whether the entrance is at the front or the back. A few photos of the stairs and the bigger pieces help us plan. Our flat removals are priced to suit smaller homes, and if you are clearing out pieces you no longer want, ask about our furniture removal, which covers furniture and household items but not general waste.
Can you collect a Marketplace buy or single item in Kensington?
Yes, we collect single items and Marketplace buys in L6 and L7 and deliver them anywhere in Liverpool or further afield.
It might be a sofa you have found online, a fridge freezer from a seller near Jubilee Drive, or a wardrobe you are passing on to a friend in another part of the city. Our Marketplace collections service is set up for exactly this, so you do not need to hire a van or try to fit something into the back of a car. We wrap the item, carry it out, load it securely and bring it into your home at the other end.
To get a price, send us both postcodes and a photo of the item on WhatsApp at 07494 947 303. Tell us if there are stairs at either end and whether the seller can help with carrying, as that affects how we plan the job. Prices start from £50 and we agree the price with you before you book. If it is a piece you already own and simply need moving, our single item deliveries page has more detail.
Can you take away old furniture when I move out?
Yes, we can take away old furniture when you move out of your Kensington home, as long as it is furniture or household items rather than general waste.
This is useful if you are moving into a furnished let, downsizing from a house share, or simply do not want to take a tired sofa or broken bed frame with you. Our furniture removal covers items such as sofas, beds, wardrobes, tables, chairs and similar household pieces. We do not take bags of rubbish, building waste or general clutter, so please keep that separate.
You can book furniture removal on its own or add it to your move, so we take away what you do not want and carry the rest to your new place on the same day. To get a price, send a photo of what needs to go on WhatsApp, along with your postcode and whether there are stairs. Prices start from £50 and are agreed before you book. For more on what we can and cannot carry, see our terms and conditions.
Can you help with packing?
Yes, we can help with packing, with both full and partial packing available for Kensington moves.
With full packing, we pack the whole home for you, from kitchen cupboards to wardrobes, so you can focus on keys, bills and getting settled into your new place. With partial packing, you do most of it yourself and we take care of the items people find hardest, such as glassware, mirrors, pictures and awkward-shaped pieces. In a house share, that might just mean packing your own room and leaving the shared kitchen to your housemates. Either way, everything is wrapped and boxed properly so it travels safely.
Packing takes time, so let us know you want it when you ask for a quote and we will build it into the plan for the day. Tell us roughly how many rooms you have and what is in them, or send a few photos. Packing can be added to a full house move, a flat move or a student move, and the price is agreed with you before you book, so you know exactly where you stand.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes, your belongings are fully insured while they are in our care, from collection to drop-off.
That cover runs from the moment we pick your things up in Kensington to the moment we put them down at your new home, whether that is a few streets away in Fairfield or the other side of the country. Insurance is there as a back-up, but the main aim is to avoid any damage in the first place. We wrap furniture, take apart large pieces that will not get down narrow stairs safely, and load the van carefully so nothing shifts on the road.
You can help by telling us about anything particularly valuable or fragile when you ask for a quote, such as a glass cabinet, a large TV, a musical instrument or antique furniture, so we can plan how to handle it. For the full details of what is covered and what we cannot carry, have a look at our terms and conditions. If you have any questions, call us on 0151 272 3467 and we will happily talk you through it.
How much does a Kensington move cost and how do I get a quote?
Prices for a Kensington move start from £50, long distance moves start from £200, and we agree a clear price with you before you book.
The final price depends on how much you are moving, the distance between the two addresses, whether there are stairs or lifts at either end, and whether you want extras such as packing or furniture taken apart and rebuilt. A single room from a house share to a new let in Wavertree will cost far less than a full family home heading to another city, which is why we price each job on its own details.
The quickest way to get a price is to send photos of what is going and both postcodes on WhatsApp at 07494 947 303. You can also fill in the quote form on this page, which opens WhatsApp ready to send, or call 0151 272 3467. We usually reply within the hour, seven days a week from 8am to 9pm.
