About Us
About Kingston upon Thames Man and Van
Kingston upon Thames Man and Van is a locally rooted removal company, built around the needs of homes and businesses in Kingston and the surrounding area. From first steps on Kingston High Street to serving every corner from Norbiton to Surbiton, we have grown into a trusted area removal service that combines professional standards with genuine community care.
Our Story and Local Roots
Our journey began over a decade ago, when our founder started helping neighbours move between flats around Kingston town centre and the riverside developments near Kingston Bridge and Canbury Gardens. Word spread along Richmond Road, Portsmouth Road and through the estates off Cambridge Road and Kingston Hill that there was a reliable, honest Kingston upon Thames Man and Van team ready to help.
As demand grew, we invested in a dedicated fleet, formal training, and Environment Agency licensing, while never losing the friendly, local approach that started with simple moves between student housing near Kingston University and family homes close to Fairfield Recreation Ground and Bushy Park. Today, after many years in operation, we remain proud to be known as a dependable removal company in the area, with genuine Kingston heritage.
Years of Experience in the Kingston Area
For more than ten years, Kingston upon Thames Man and Van has been helping residents and businesses move across the borough. We regularly operate in familiar locations such as Norbiton, Surbiton, New Malden, Tolworth and the wider Kingston upon Thames area, as well as nearby neighbourhoods along the Thames.
From compact flats above shops on Clarence Street to family houses around Coombe Estate and the Victorian terraces off Canbury Park Road, our team knows the streets, traffic patterns and parking challenges that come with local moves. This local knowledge helps us plan efficient routes, protect your belongings and minimise disruption on moving day.
Licensed, Responsible and Fully Compliant
Kingston upon Thames Man and Van operates as a fully licensed removals and waste carrier service, registered with the Environment Agency. This means customers can trust that any unwanted items and packaging from a move will be handled, transported and disposed of legally and responsibly.
We regularly use local borough recycling centres and authorised facilities, including Kingston recycling sites serving residents around Cromwell Road and Villiers Road. Our commitment to compliance ensures our area removal service meets or exceeds industry standards for safety, documentation and environmental responsibility.
Professional, Trained Removal Staff
Our team is made up of trained, experienced removals professionals who understand that moving is about more than just lifting boxes. Every member of Kingston upon Thames Man and Van staff is trained in safe handling techniques, loading and unloading procedures, protective packing, and customer care.
We carry out regular training updates to keep our crews prepared for all types of moves, from student relocations near Kingston University Penrhyn Road campus to office moves around the Kingston Riverside developments and industrial units closer to the A3. Our staff take pride in turning up on time, in uniform, ready to protect your possessions and your property at every stage.
Our Mission and Values
The mission of Kingston upon Thames Man and Van is simple: to provide a reliable, friendly and eco-conscious removal company in the area that people can genuinely rely on. We aim to remove stress from moving days by offering clear communication, honest pricing and careful, respectful service.
We believe in treating every customer like a neighbour, because in many cases, you are. Whether you are moving from a riverside flat near Kingston Rowing Club, a townhouse off London Road, or a family home near Richmond Park, our goal is to deliver a smooth, efficient experience that respects your time, your belongings and your community.
Eco-Responsibility and Recycling Partnerships
As a Kingston-based business, we see first-hand the importance of protecting our local environment, from the riverfront by the Thames Path to the green spaces of Richmond Park and Home Park. Kingston upon Thames Man and Van has built eco-responsibility into the way we operate.
We work closely with local recycling facilities and approved partners to ensure that furniture, electrical items, metal, cardboard and other reusable materials are diverted from landfill wherever possible. Our teams sort items during and after removals so that recyclable materials can be taken to borough recycling centres rather than mixed with general waste.
We also plan routes around Kingston, Surbiton, Norbiton and neighbouring areas to reduce unnecessary mileage, help ease congestion on key roads such as the A307 and Kingston Hill, and lower our carbon footprint. Where possible, we consolidate journeys and optimise loading so that our vehicles operate efficiently while still providing a flexible area removal service.
Community Ties and Local Involvement
Kingston upon Thames Man and Van is more than just a local removal company; we see ourselves as part of the community fabric. Many of our team live in or around Kingston, Surbiton and New Malden, send their children to local schools and use the same shops, parks and amenities as our customers.
Over the years, we have supported community events, charity collections, and local organisations by providing discounted or complimentary man and van services. From helping community groups move equipment for events in Fairfield Recreation Ground and Canbury Gardens, to assisting local charities with furniture collections from estates off Cambridge Road and around Norbiton, we are committed to giving something back.
