The London Borough of Kingston Upon Thames is responsible for parking bay suspensions. Unless you can guarantee parking at your home address or at the property you're moving to, it's wise to book a suspension. Without one, the job becomes much harder and takes longer, which costs you more in extra time and manpower.

It's handy to have by your side whether you're moving into the area or from Kingston to another part of the capital.

Kingston
Volition Removals provides a high-quality service to every customer. Our man and van service is very affordable and designed for people who just need to move a few key items around the borough, ideal for house-share residents, or for anyone moving one or two larger items such as a wardrobe or a sofa. If you rent a furnished flat and don't need a full removals service, this may be the best option.
The service is also scalable, so we can handle larger house removals just as easily. For bigger family homes, mansions and office moves, we simply allocate more resources. With 5-tonne Luton vans available, you can expect the same professional job whether you're moving a whole home or just a few items.
Kingston
In one of the leafier parts of southwest London, Kingston is a great place to live, work and raise a family. With good schools, plenty of local parkland and a reliable train service, there's much to recommend it.
Like other parts of suburban London, Kingston has plenty of places to eat out. Happily, not all of them are chains, there are numerous independent restaurants and bars too. You'll also find plenty of boutiques and designer outlets alongside the bigger high-street brands.
The housing stock is good quality. While prices may not be quite as high as in neighbouring Richmond, the area is affluent and highly desirable, with an enviable position close to the Thames.

Would you rather sit back while your goods are carefully packed and inventoried? We're happy to help. Our pricing means you only pay for the time we spend, subject to a two-hour minimum for two-person jobs.
Our team is just as experienced in office removals as in domestic ones. If you run a business in the borough and need to relocate, call us for a quotation. Our man and van service can be scaled up to handle office removals of any size.
We provide a man and van service across Kingston for people moving home. But a man and van is just as useful when you're not moving and simply have an item of furniture or two to shift. Because we charge by the hour, furniture removals needn't be expensive, and we take every care of your property while it's in transit.
Need to pack for your Kingston move? We have high-quality materials that are perfect for the job. Just ask us to supply:

Our man and van service is very affordable. Designed for people who just need to move a few key items around the borough, it's ideal for house-share residents, for example. It also suits anyone moving just one or two larger items, such as a wardrobe or a sofa. If you rent a furnished flat and don't need a full removals service, this may be the best option. It's ideal for:
We carry out house clearances across Kingston. At any address in the borough, we can clear an entire property quickly and efficiently. Perhaps you need to clear a flat that belonged to a family member who has recently passed away, or you own a property and want it cleared after tenants have moved on. Whatever the reason, we'll do a professional job.
With a seat of higher education in the town, there are plenty of students in the area. Whether you're moving into student accommodation or want us to move your belongings closer to campus, our man and van service is dependable and affordable. Why pay more if you only have a few items to move?
Moving works of art and antiques means taking extra care, and that's exactly what you can expect from us. Handling rare and valuable items is one of our strengths, so call on us whether you need to move an antique dining set, a valuable painting or a one-of-a-kind sculpture.
Need furniture built rather than moved? Flat pack assembly in Kingston is one of our regular jobs. We reassemble anything we take apart during a move, and we'll happily construct new flat pack pieces from scratch, carrying them to the right room first.

We charge a simple hourly rate rather than a fixed day rate, so you only pay for the time your move actually takes. One man and a van is £55 + VAT per hour, two men and a van £75 + VAT per hour, and three men and a van £95 + VAT per hour. As a guide, a typical two-bedroom move in Kingston takes around five to six hours including travel. For an accurate figure, ask us for a free no-obligation quote or a video assessment of your property.
Most two-bedroom properties take two to three hours to load and one to two hours to unload, plus the driving time between the two addresses. Access makes a real difference: stairs, lifts and how far the van has to park from your door all add time. Tell us about both properties when you book and we will give you a realistic estimate rather than an optimistic one.
As much as you can give us, booking as soon as your date is confirmed is the surest way to get the slot you want. That said, we keep our schedule as flexible as we can and we regularly take on moves at a few days' notice, so it is always worth asking even if your date is close.
If you have a driveway or off-street parking at both addresses, no. Otherwise we strongly recommend one: the closer the van can park, the faster the job goes and the less it costs you. Suspensions are arranged through the local council for Kingston and usually need several working days' notice, so apply as soon as your date is fixed, and remember to arrange one at the address you are moving to as well.
Yes. We carry £30,000 of goods-in-transit cover and £1m of public liability insurance as standard. If you are moving something worth more than the standard cover, tell us in advance and we will extend it for your job. Most household contents policies exclude damage in transit, which is exactly the gap this cover fills.
No. Most customers prefer to be there, but we can carry out the whole move in your absence as long as we have access to both properties, keys, entry codes and alarm details arranged in advance. Tell us where things should go and we will unload into the right rooms.
Yes. Packing is a standard service charged at the same hourly rate, and we can supply boxes, tape and protective materials ahead of the day. We can pack a whole property or just the awkward parts, kitchens, glassware and artwork are the usual candidates.
We dismantle and reassemble beds and flat-pack furniture as a matter of course, and we can build items for your new home too. Please disconnect washing machines and dishwashers, and defrost the fridge and freezer, the day before if you can. If you would rather not, ask us and a member of the team will do it on the day.
Yes. We run 3.5t Luton box vans rather than small transit vans, and the service scales, for a larger property we simply put more crew and more vehicles on the job. Three- and four-bedroom houses are routine work for us.
Yes. Storage is useful when your dates do not line up, when you are downsizing, or when you would rather move in stages. We can store what you do not need immediately and deliver it on to your new address when you are ready for it.
We take a 25% deposit for domestic moves and 50% for business moves to secure your date. The balance is due on completion, once everything has been unloaded at your new address. We accept credit and debit cards.
Yes. Weekend availability is more limited and is charged at a 10% surcharge, so a midweek move is usually better value, but if Saturday or Sunday is the only date that works, book early and we will do our best to fit you in.
Moving dates slip; we understand that. Change or cancel with 11 or more days' notice and there is no charge, if you cancel outright, your deposit is returned within 10 working days. With 10 days' notice or fewer, the deposit covers the booking we have held for you.
