Moving Service Kewtown

Friendly Kewtown Removals, Planned Around Your Block, Your Stairs and Your Street

Kewtown is a neighbourhood where people know each other. Moving day here tends to draw a small audience, and the last thing you want is a crew that blocks the road for hours or drops your granny's cabinet on the stairwell. At FTH Transport we treat every Kewtown move as if the whole street is watching, because often it is.

Home base for our trucks is 28 Christian Ave, Epping, about 8 km up Jan Smuts Drive. That puts our trucks around 13 minutes from your front door in ordinary traffic. Whether you are leaving a flat near Cross Boulevard, packing up a family home off Klipfontein Road or relocating a small shop, give us a ring on 083 410 9710 for a price during the same call.

A Short Run Down Jan Smuts Drive

We want to be upfront: our yard is in Epping, not in Kewtown. What we offer is proximity. Jan Smuts Drive (M17) links Epping almost directly to Kewtown, passing Langa and crossing the N2 before Eland Street brings us into the neighbourhood. For you, that means a crew that is not worn out from a cross-city drive before the first box is lifted.

Kewtown sits in a busy corner of the Cape Flats, bordered by Athlone, Bridgetown, Silvertown, Hazendal, Langa and Pinelands. Athlone Stadium on Cross Boulevard is practically on your doorstep, and Klipfontein Road carries a steady stream of taxis and buses along the southern side. We take all of that into account when we plan your move.

What We Move in Kewtown

Household moves

Moving out of one of the blocks of flats Kewtown is known for, or out of a semi-detached or freestanding home? Either way, we load, drive and offload for you. At the other end, our movers can carry each item into the room it is meant for, so you are not shifting heavy furniture around on your first evening. Just ask the team.

Furniture removals

Wall units, kists, double beds, fridges, washing machines and lounge suites get wrapped and strapped before they travel. One thing to note: single-item jobs are not something we take on. A small job is welcome, as long as it is several items, such as a bed, a couch and a few boxes.

Office, shop and church hall moves

Spaza shops, small offices, salons and community organisations around Kewtown and Athlone can lean on us to move shelving, stock, desks and equipment with as little disruption as possible. Let us know when you open and close, and we will build the move around that.

Packing and wrapping

Short on time or boxes? Our crew arrives with sturdy boxes, rolls of bubble wrap plus heavy-duty plastic bags, and can handle the packing for you as well. We can even help you unpack once everything is delivered.

Month-end and weekend moves

Lease changes in Kewtown, like much of Cape Town, tend to bunch up around the end of the month and over weekends, which is exactly when movers get booked out. If your date falls on a month-end or a Saturday, give us a call as early as you can so we can hold a truck and crew for you. Booking ahead also gives you time to sort out boxes, tell the neighbours and arrange parking near your block or house.

Getting From Epping to Kewtown, and Getting In

It is about 8.3 km from our yard to Kewtown, normally a 13-minute drive. We leave Christian Ave for Viking Way (M16), swing onto Jan Smuts Drive (M17) and head south past Langa, over the N2 and through Hazendal, then follow Eland Street into Kewtown. Because it is such a direct route, your quote is not padded with long travel time.

Tips for a smoother Kewtown move

  • Flats and stairwells: many Kewtown households are in walk-up blocks, so every item is carried down by hand. Share your floor number and bulkiest pieces at quote stage.
  • Parking near the block: space in front of the flats can be tight. If you can, ask neighbours to leave a gap for the truck the night before.
  • Stadium days: match and event days at Athlone Stadium bring extra cars and foot traffic to Cross Boulevard and the surrounding roads. Mention your date and we will check it does not clash with a big fixture.
  • Klipfontein Road and Jan Smuts Drive at peak hour: both get congested in the morning and late afternoon. We aim to load and drive outside those windows where possible.
