MANSION BLOCKS
Porters, lifts and shared spaces
Confirm permitted moving hours, lift dimensions and booking, loading-bay access, floor protection and any contractor requirements before the mover finalises the plan.
KENSINGTON HOUSE REMOVALS · SW7 AND W8
Kensington removals, planned around the property.
Mews access, mansion-block rules, upper floors, parking and valuable belongings can all change the crew, vehicle and preparation a move needs. Dray uses those details to choose one suitable moving partner and obtain their quote.

The selected mover provides the quote, contract, insurance and moving service. If you proceed, you pay them directly. Dray adds no separate fee or markup.
START WITH THE ESSENTIALS
Start with the Kensington address.
The inventory can follow. Access details are often the most useful place to begin.
Operational guidance is deliberately conservative. Check move-specific details before booking.

PROPERTY BEFORE POSTCODE
What changes the plan in Kensington.
Local search intent may begin with SW7 or W8, but the quote depends on the physical route, legal loading position and building rules at each end.
MEWS PROPERTIES
Vehicle approach and kerb distance
Narrow approaches, parked vehicles, limited turning space and the walk from door to vehicle can affect vehicle choice, crew size and time.
TOWNHOUSES
Stairs, turns and interior protection
Large pieces need a measured route through doorways, landings and stairs. Flag delicate floors, banisters, walls and listed details in advance.
CONTROLLED STREETS
A lawful loading position
The nearest legal place to stop may shape the entire move. Check current restrictions, suspension signs and whether continuous loading is practical.
THRESHOLD TO KERB
Every large item follows the same route.
Walking the route in order catches the practical constraints that an inventory alone cannot show. Share photographs or measurements when a turn looks tight.

PARKING AND LOADING
Reserve certainty only when the address needs it.
The current council position is more nuanced than “every removal needs a suspension”. The exact street, space, vehicle and building access still need checking.
RBKC GUIDANCE · CHECKED 23 JULY 2026
Domestic furniture removals do not automatically require a suspended bay.
The Royal Borough says a removal vehicle may stop in an available parking bay or on a single yellow line when it does not cause an obstruction. Loading and unloading must be continuous, and you cannot place barriers or notices to reserve the space yourself.
A formal suspension or yellow-line dispensation may still be the sensible route when access certainty matters. Requirements, notice and costs can change, so verify the exact move against the current RBKC parking-suspension guidance.
BEFORE ANYONE QUOTES
The details worth collecting once.
A clear brief reduces follow-up and makes it easier for the selected mover to propose a realistic crew, vehicle and schedule.
01
Property and access
Floor, lift, stairs, porter or managing-agent rules, loading distance, parking position and any restricted moving hours.
02
Contents and care
Approximate volume, large pieces, items needing disassembly, packing requirements and anything valuable, fragile or unusually heavy.
03
Date and flexibility
Preferred date, whether exchange or completion is confirmed, destination access and what should happen if the date changes.
HOW THE MATCH WORKS
One brief. One selected partner. One quote.
Dray does not distribute a Kensington enquiry among competing removal firms.
01
Share the essentials
Start with the addresses, likely date and access. Add photographs and an inventory in WhatsApp when useful.
02
Dray selects the mover
We consider the property, timing, belongings and requested services, then choose one partner whose fit and availability suit the brief.
03
Review their quote
The mover sends their scope, price and terms to Dray. We review and relay them; if you proceed, you contract with and pay the mover directly.
