Why hire a local Kilkenny removal company
You could hire a nationwide removal firm that dispatches a lorry from Dublin, or you could hire the lads who live up the road and knows every one-way system from High Street to Loughboy. Local knowledge saves an hour off most Kilkenny moves — small streets, tight driveways, the tricky loading bays around John Street and Irishtown are all daily bread here.
Every job is quoted and done by the same two lads. That means no dispatcher relaying instructions, no swap of crews halfway through, and nobody arriving that you've never spoken to. When you ring or WhatsApp for a quote, the person answering is one of the two who'll be at your door on move day.
What's included in a house move
A house removal isn't just loading and driving. A proper local house move includes the small things that make the day feel calm rather than chaotic:
- Long-wheelbase, high-top Ford Transit — the biggest van that still fits into a Kilkenny cul-de-sac
- Moving blankets, straps and corner protectors as standard
- Sack truck for appliances and heavy boxes
- Careful loading order — big and heavy first, fragile on top
- Careful unloading and placement in the correct room at the new address
- A final walk-through at both ends to make sure nothing is missed
- Bulky-item wall protection if you're moving into an upstairs apartment
Typical Kilkenny house-move pricing
Every job is priced by size, distance and access. These are honest starting points for planning your budget:
- Studio or one-bed apartment inside Kilkenny city: from €120
- Two-bed apartment or terraced home within County Kilkenny: from €200
- Three-bed family home within County Kilkenny: from €280
- Four-bed family home within County Kilkenny: from €380
- Cross-county move (Kilkenny to Dublin, Cork, Galway): €450–€700 as a full-day job
There are no hidden fuel surcharges, no per-hour clock ticking after 5pm, and no weekend uplift. The number you're told at quote time is the number you pay when the last box lands in the kitchen.
How the move day itself runs
The night before, you'll get a WhatsApp confirming the arrival window and my phone number. On the morning I arrive on time, walk the house with you room by room, and we agree the loading order together. Fragile items and things you want easy access to at the other end go on last.
Between addresses I'll keep you posted with a live ETA — no wondering where the van is. At the new address we unload straight into the right rooms so you're not shifting furniture again afterwards. Beds go up first if you like — makes the first night feel like home.
Areas covered from Kilkenny
House removals run daily out of Kilkenny to every part of the South-East and beyond. Regular routes include Callan, Thomastown, Castlecomer, Bennettsbridge, Freshford, Graiguenamanagh, Urlingford, Carlow, Waterford, New Ross, Enniscorthy, Portlaoise, Clonmel and Dublin — but nationwide jobs are welcome by request, and are usually easier to schedule mid-week.
Getting a quote
The fastest quote is a quick WhatsApp with two things: a rough list or short video of what's moving, and both addresses. Ten minutes and you'll have a fixed price and a date. Call 089 948 9185 or drop a message and we'll work around your date.
