Services
Domestic Removals
Professional household removals across South Derbyshire and neighbouring counties. We handle properties up to three bedrooms with care, using padded covers and modern vehicles. Our team offers packing/unpacking assistance and furniture reassembly services. Clients benefit from transparent pricing with no hidden fees or deposits required.
Piano Removals
Specialist piano transportation for upright and grand pianos. Our experienced team uses dedicated equipment to protect instruments and property floors. We exclusively handle piano moves without consolidation, ensuring minimal damage risk. Services include ground-floor-to-ground-floor transfers due to crew size limitations.
Small Moves
Flexible moves for single items or partial household transfers. Two-person crews with Luton vans provide efficient local deliveries. Ideal for storage transitions or inter-property transfers within rental portfolios. Vehicles remain dedicated to single bookings for guaranteed delivery timelines.

Kevin and Kyle helped us relocate from Luton to the East Midlands, including a piano removal. They were quick, careful, professional and the day was completely stress free.

We chose KCR from a Google search, so didn't know anything about them. But, from the first contact with Kevin, everything went smoothly. We felt the price was fair, and Kevin kept in touch with us along the way as our house move was delayed. No fuss, no problem. They turned-up on time for the collection and again, bang on time for the delivery in York. Really courteous and careful team. No breakages, no scratches. If you're going to be moving stuff, I can recommend Kevin and team. A proper local business, who know what they're doing.
