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.
The firm 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. That certification covers process, training and vehicles, and few independent Kent removers carry it. On Referenceline, Stranks holds a 9.7 rating from 380 verified reviews since 2007, with 98% recommending the service.
From town centre flats and riverside apartments to family homes in Bearsted, Vinters Park, Penenden Heath and the newer estates on the eastern edge of town, our removers pack, protect, load, transport and unload your belongings with care. We handle listed buildings, properties with difficult stair access, and larger four and five-bedroom moves. The same crew does the whole job.
Full packing, partial packing or fragile-only cover, with materials supplied and work carried out to a labelled, room-by-room plan, usually the day before your removal so moving day runs to a clear timetable.
Removals in Maidstone from the Ashford depot take roughly 25 to 35 minutes in normal traffic via the M20, and our crew plans an early departure so it arrives to a clear timetable. For town centre addresses we confirm parking and access in advance, including any suspension permits needed for King Street or riverside locations.
Mote Park and the roads around it come up often. Access to some properties near the park is straightforward; others have restricted turning, which we flag at the survey.
For the ME14 corridor running east toward Bearsted and Hollingbourne our crews know the roads and the property types well, and moves out to the ME15 and ME16 areas, including the Loose Valley and Tovil, are equally routine from the Ashford base.
Before you book, it is worth reading a Kent moving house checklist and our guide to choosing a removals company in Kent.
