Furniture removal in Kennington & Oval.

Heavy pieces, narrow stairs, no damage.

Kennington furniture is often older and heavier than most. Solid mahogany wardrobes, Victorian dressers and big oak dining tables live in Georgian houses with narrow stairs and tight turns. Getting them out takes planning, patience and enough people.

In the mansion blocks along Kennington Road the challenge is the lift: often small, sometimes temperamental. On the estates around Kennington Park it’s the long walk from the flat to where the van can stop. We plan for each before we arrive.

Anything that comes apart, we take apart. Bed frames, flat-pack wardrobes, tables and corner units are dismantled in the room and carried down in pieces.

Pieces in good condition are passed on for reuse wherever possible. The rest is broken down so the wood and metal can be recycled, and what remains goes to licensed facilities.

Furniture in Kennington tends to be heavier than elsewhere: solid wood wardrobes, Victorian dressers and old sofas with hardwood frames. They often have to come down narrow Georgian stairs or up from a basement, so we plan the route, the number of people and whether anything needs taking apart before the day.
