House removals across Hawkinge, from period cottages in the old village to the new detached and semi-detached homes in the Garden Village estates. Our crew packs, protects, loads and delivers, room by room, with furniture dismantled and reassembled where needed.
Packing as a full, partial or fragile-only service, with materials supplied and everything labelled by room, usually the day before your move. We bring double-walled boxes, wardrobe cartons, mattress covers and bespoke crates for artwork, mirrors and antiques.
Hawkinge sits up on the North Downs above Folkestone, in the CT18 postcode, and it has changed a lot in recent years. The old village core has been joined by the large new-build estates of Hawkinge Garden Village, built on the site of the former RAF Hawkinge airfield, so a move here can mean anything from a period cottage to a brand-new detached home. Our Ashford depot is around 12 miles away, and Hawkinge is regular work for our crews.
Two things shape access here. The A260 runs through Hawkinge and drops down the hill into Folkestone, and that hill affects routing and journey time for a large removal vehicle, so we plan the approach in advance. The newer Garden Village estates on the old airfield have their own considerations: estate roads, permit parking and unadopted sections that we check before the day.
If your property has a particular access challenge, tell us at the survey. Our crews know the A260, the hill into Folkestone and the local estate roads.
Four generations of the Strank family have moved Kent households since 1941, and the business is still family run today. The same trained team handles your move from survey to delivery, with no job handed to a subcontractor on the day.
Stranks holds full British Association of Removers (BAR) membership, including the BAR Advanced Payment scheme, and is certified to BS EN 12522, the British Standard for furniture removal services for private individuals. BS EN 12522 audits process, training and vehicles, and few independent Kent removers carry it. We are also Checkatrade certified and a member of the Furniture and Home Improvement Ombudsman scheme, with a 9.7 out of 10 rating across 380 verified reviews.

Hawkinge sits between Folkestone and Ashford, and most moves here connect to one or the other. See our main Folkestone removals page for the town below the downs, and our Ashford removals page for the town and our depot. We also cover the surrounding downland villages including Capel-le-Ferne, Densole, Lyminge and Paddlesworth from the same depot. For the full list, see our areas we cover page.
Yes. We cover the whole of Hawkinge, from the old village to the new Hawkinge Garden Village estates on the former airfield, and the surrounding downland lanes. Tell us your address and we will confirm coverage and plan the access at the survey.
Yes. The Garden Village estates are a regular part of our work here. Estate roads, permit parking and unadopted sections are checked before the day, and we bring the right vehicle for a full family home.
The main one is the A260 and the hill down into Folkestone, which affects routing for a large vehicle, so we plan the approach at the survey. Older village properties and rural downland lanes can also have tight access, which we confirm in advance.
Hawkinge is around 12 miles from our Wotton Trading Estate depot in Ashford, roughly 20 to 25 minutes depending on traffic. We plan an early depot departure so the crew arrives at the agreed time.
Every move is priced individually on the volume of belongings, the number of rooms, access at both addresses, and the distance. A village cottage and a new Garden Village home are different jobs, so we do not publish fixed prices. Get a free quote and we will come back with clear, itemised pricing.
As early as you can, ideally four to six weeks, and longer if you also need a full packing day. Month-end and summer dates are busiest, and we are often booked up, so the sooner you are in touch the better. If your sale is still progressing, we can hold a provisional date.
