Moving House in Ashford: Local Knowledge

Because we are based here, the practical detail is second nature to our crews.

The town centre has a ring road and one-way system, with pedestrianised streets and limited parking around County Square, so for central addresses we plan the van position and any parking suspension in advance. Older terraces near the centre often have on-street parking only, which we account for at the survey.

Willesborough and the Warren, to the east near the William Harvey Hospital, are established residential areas with a mix of housing and generally straightforward access, though some roads are tight for a full-size vehicle.

The newer estates at Chilmington Green and Repton Park bring their own quirks: narrow estate roads, unadopted or still-being-built sections, and permit parking. We check these before the day so the right vehicle turns up.

Settling the vehicle, crew and parking plan at the survey means the access is worked out before moving day rather than on it.

Why Choose Stranks for Your Ashford House Move

Our warehouse and offices are in Ashford itself, so we are not a national firm driving in: our crews know the local roads, the narrow village lanes and the access challenges the town and its villages present, and the same team handles your move from survey to delivery with no subcontracting.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

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.
