Removals Across Kent: What We Cover

Removals in Kent vary enormously across the county, from single-day town moves to rural lanes and coastal streets, and the right plan depends on where you are. Stranks Removals and Storage works the whole county from a single depot at Wotton Trading Estate in Ashford, close to the M20, so we cover the coast, the Weald and the Medway and central towns alike. We handle house removals, office moves and European relocations, all with our own trained crews and no subcontracting.

The main areas we cover:

  • Ashford (TN23 to TN27), our home town and depot location.
  • Maidstone (ME14 to ME17), the county town, from suburban estates to riverside apartments.
  • Canterbury (CT1 to CT4), where city-centre access restrictions and period properties are common.
  • Folkestone (CT18 to CT20), coastal terraces and hillside properties with restricted vehicle access.
  • Dover (CT16 to CT17), port-area logistics and Victorian terraces across the town.
  • Hythe (CT21), esplanade properties and a higher proportion of coastal flats than most Kent towns.
  • Tenterden (TN30) and Romney Marsh (TN28 to TN29), rural and semi-rural moves with narrow lane access.

For the full list of towns and villages we serve, see our areas we cover page. We also carry out long-distance moves across the UK and European relocations from the same Ashford base. See our house removals, packing and European removals pages for how each is handled.

Why Choose Stranks for Your Kent Removal

Stranks has been a Kent removals firm since 1941, and four generations of the Strank family have run the business. It is still family run today, with our own trained team and fleet, and no subcontracting on the day. These are the strongest signals to look for in any removals firm, and we hold all of them:

  • BAR member with the BAR Advanced Payment scheme. If we hold your deposit and cannot complete the move, the scheme protects what you paid. You can verify our membership on the BAR website at bar.co.uk.
  • BS EN 12522 certified. This British Standard audits the operational detail of a removals firm: the survey process, the loading plan, vehicle standards, staff training and how storage is managed. Far fewer independent Kent removers hold it than hold BAR membership alone.
  • 9.7 out of 10 across 380 verified reviews on Referenceline since 2007, with 98% of customers recommending us.
  • Furniture and Home Improvement Ombudsman member and Checkatrade certified.

Proud to be one of the most highly recommended removals companies in the UK

This is the third time over the years that we have used Stranks. David quoted, advised and liaised with us from the start to guide us through the process. This move itself was annoyingly prolonged due to a long key wait. We got the keys and access at 4pm in the end. At every stage of the move, Shane, Dan, Armond, John and then the other two (Joe? and another colleague) were professional, friendly and extremely hard working. They even kept their efforts up when they found that we had only gone and bought a town house! The boxes destined for 'bed 1' were like the hot potatoes that no-one wanted to end up with! Still, everything got moved to the right rooms without an issue. We wanted to review and pass on our thanks to those that made a long moving experience, so much more bearable. We would totally recommend Stranks to anyone in need of removal services.

Outstanding service from start to finish. From accommodating a very difficult long process to the team on the day, I couldn’t fault a thing. The moving guys made the day go like clockwork. Would not hesitate to recommend Stranks

I’d give 10 stars to the team that helped us relocate from Kent to Cornwall. They were competent, capable, professional, accommodating, friendly and very easy to work with. I hope not to have to make such a move again but I wouldn’t hesitate in using Stranks and highly recommend their services. They helped make our move a stress free experience and worth every penny we spent and more.

Long established family business, they listen to what you need and if at all possible oblige. Sensible rates and knowledgeable caring workers. Happy to advise on the best way to get your needs sorted even recommending local man and van companies if the job is really too small for them.

Extremely helpful and reassuring right from the very start. The removal peeps were very polite and didn't leave until we was totally happy that everything was where we wanted it to be. Amazing service.
