Kingston Upon Thames Removals
Britannia Sandersteads has been moving people in and out of Kingston upon Thames for over 50 years, from our depot around 15 miles south via the A3 and A307. We know the one-way system round the town centre, the loading restrictions on the high street, and the lift access at Charter Quay and Royal Quarter.

Removals in Kingston and the surrounding areas
Removals in Kingston upon Thames rarely look the same twice. One week it’s a flat above the shops near the high street with a narrow staircase and nowhere close to unload; the next it’s a riverside apartment at Charter Quay or Royal Quarter, where building management need notice and the lift has to be booked in advance. We also cover Surbiton, New Malden, Hampton Wick just across the bridge, and out towards Richmond and Wimbledon – plenty of our jobs are people moving between two of these rather than coming from further out.
The town centre’s one-way gyratory system catches drivers who don’t know it, and loading on the high street itself is time-restricted, so timing the van’s arrival matters as much as the packing. Whether you’re coming off the A308 or the A307, or heading somewhere the postcode doesn’t cover on a map, we plan the route and the parking before moving day, not on it.
For moves close by, our Richmond, Epsom and Leatherhead pages cover those areas in more detail.
Your Local Removal Company in Kingston
Britannia Sandersteads has been carrying out removals in Kingston since the 1970s, when we started out as a family-run business in Godstone. We’re still family-run today, still crewed entirely by our own full-time staff rather than agency labour, and still close enough that a Kingston job isn’t a special trip for us.
Kingston isn’t one type of property, and we plan for that. Compact Victorian terraces around Canbury usually mean narrow hallways and on-street parking permits. The riverside developments at Charter Quay and Royal Quarter mean coordinating with building management and lift access. Out towards Coombe, it’s long driveways and turning space for a full-size lorry rather than doorways. Our house removals team surveys for whichever of these applies before quote day, not on the morning of the move.
As a member of the British Association of Removers (BAR) and part of the Britannia Cooperative, we work to standards we’re actually inspected against, and we were named in the National Quality Awards in both 2023 and 2024 — built on the kind of everyday Kingston jobs described above, not a single stand-out case.

What affects the cost of removals in Kingston?
Volume, distance, access at both ends, and packing or storage needs. A riverside flat needing a lift booking usually costs more to move than a ground-floor property of the same size – we always survey first rather than quote over the phone.
How does the survey process work?
A free video survey or in-home visit, usually within a few days, checking access, parking and lift or building management requirements before we send a written quote.
What packing options do you offer?
Full self-pack, partial packing of fragile or awkward items, or a complete professional pack the day before your move.
How long can you store my belongings, and where?
At our Godstone depot in containerised, CCTV-monitored units – from a few weeks to several months, depending on your chain.
What about parking and access around Kingston town centre?
The one-way system and time-restricted loading on the high street mean timing matters. We plan the route and any permits needed at survey, and use a smaller vehicle where a full-size lorry can’t get close.
Are my belongings insured, and how does move-day timing work?
Yes – goods-in-transit insurance is confirmed on your quote. We agree a loading time and a realistic arrival window in advance.
