Moving Service Kensington
Removals for Kensington Homes, From a Crew Just Across Voortrekker Road
Kensington is the kind of suburb where a moving truck on 12th Avenue gets noticed, waves from the stoep included. For a lot of families here, packing up a house is rarely just about boxes. It is about getting years of furniture, photos and kitchen cupboards out safely and settled somewhere new without a fuss.
That is the job FTH Transport is built for. Our trucks are parked at 28 Christian Ave, Epping, around 6.5 km away, and the trip to Kensington takes about 12 minutes on a regular day. If you are moving out of a house near Bunney Street, a house in the aircraft-named streets around Dakota Crescent and Sopwith Road, or a small business close to Voortrekker Road, ring 083 410 9710 and get a price over the phone.
Near Enough to Be Quick, Honest About the Address
To be clear, FTH Transport is an Epping business. We do not have a branch in Kensington. What we do have is a very short drive. From our yard, Jakes Gerwel Drive takes us down to Voortrekker Road, and from there it is a few minutes west to the Kensington turn-off. Less time in traffic means our team starts your move fresh and on schedule.
Kensington sits between Maitland, Factreton, Windermere and Acacia Park, with Voortrekker Road and Maitland Cemetery along its southern edge and the N1 running past to the west. Locals know the area by its numbered avenues, the Kensington Sports Field, the community hall and schools like Sunderland Primary and WD Hendricks Primary. Plenty of people moving out are only going as far as Goodwood, Parow or Milnerton, and plenty moving in are relocating from elsewhere in Cape Town. We cover both directions.
How We Help Kensington Movers
House moves
Kensington is mostly freestanding and semi-detached houses, some with a front gate and driveway and a few with a second storey. We plan the loading around the layout of your property, then drive and offload at your new address. Ask, and our movers will place each piece wherever you would like it.
Furniture removals
Heavy display cabinets, solid wood dining tables, beds, appliances and lounge suites are wrapped and tied down before the truck pulls away. Please keep in mind that one-piece jobs are not something we offer. Smaller loads are absolutely welcome, as long as there is more than one item to move.
Business relocations
With the busy Voortrekker Road corridor on its doorstep, Kensington has its share of shops, workshops and small offices. We move furniture, shelving, filing and stock for small businesses, and we are happy to work around your opening hours so you lose as little trading time as possible.
Packing help
If packing up a long-time family home feels overwhelming, let our team take it on. We bring cartons, bubble wrap and thick plastic bags for linen and clothing, and we can unpack at the new place too.
Planning around school and church times
Weekday mornings and afternoons around Sunderland Primary and WD Hendricks Primary, and Sunday mornings near the churches, bring extra cars and people onto Kensington streets. When you book, tell us which day and time suit you, and we will help you pick a slot that avoids the busiest periods on your road.
Downsizing and moving family members
Some Kensington moves involve parents or grandparents downsizing from a big family home into a smaller house, a flat or a retirement facility nearby. If that is your situation, tell us when you call. We can help you sort out which furniture goes to the new place and which pieces go to other family members, and arrange the loads so each address gets the right items on the day. It is still one booking with one clear price, and nobody has to carry a wardrobe down the stairs on their own.

The Drive From Epping, and What to Expect on Your Street
The trip is roughly 6.5 km and normally takes about 12 minutes. From Christian Ave we join Viking Way (M16), turn onto Jakes Gerwel Drive (M7) and then head west along Voortrekker Road (R102) into Maitland, before turning up through 18th Avenue and Dapper Road into Kensington. It is a short, simple route, so very little of your quote goes on travel.
Access pointers for Kensington
- Kerbside space: many homes have cars parked out front on fairly narrow avenues. Leaving a clear stretch at your gate on the morning of the move helps the truck stop right outside.
- Double-storey houses: if your bedrooms are upstairs, tell us about tight staircases or landings when you get your quote so we bring the right crew.
- Voortrekker Road traffic: the R102 through Maitland gets heavy at rush hour. Where possible, we time the drive outside the morning and afternoon peaks.
- Burglar bars and security gates: remember to unlock gates and have keys ready before we arrive, so loading can start straight away.
