From period cottages in Appledore and Brenzett to seafront homes in Littlestone and Greatstone, our crew packs, protects, loads and delivers with care. The same team handles the whole job from survey to delivery, with no subcontracting, and all protective materials are included.
Full, partial or fragile-only packing, with all materials supplied and everything labelled by room, usually the day before your move. We bring double-walled boxes, wardrobe cartons and bespoke crates for artwork and mirrors.
We run full and part-load European moves from the Ashford depot, and Marsh properties are within a straightforward run back up the A2070 to Ashford and the Channel ports. We manage every stage from survey to delivery.
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, which matters more, not less, on a long run out to the Marsh.
Stranks holds full British Association of Removers (BAR) membership, including the BAR Advanced Payment scheme, which protects your deposit if a firm ceases trading before your move. We are also certified to BS EN 12522, the British Standard for furniture removal services, which audits process, training and vehicles and is held by few independent Kent removers. On Referenceline we hold a 9.7 rating from 380 verified reviews since 2007, with 98% recommending us.
The single thing that sets a Marsh move apart is distance and access, so we plan for both.
New Romney is around 14 miles from our Ashford depot via the A2070, usually 25 to 30 minutes. Dymchurch and Lydd are a little further, and the lanes east toward Dungeness and south to the shingle add more time again. We build that travel time into the plan, and our crews leave the depot early so they arrive to a clear timetable rather than a rushed one.
Because the Marsh moves take longer to reach and survey properly, we do not offer same-week bookings out here. We plan them with enough lead time to check the access first.
The Marsh road network is flat but narrow, and it catches out removers who have not looked first.
Many villages are linked by single-track lanes with few passing places, and some properties sit on unmade tracks or exposed coastal roads where the ground conditions and the vehicle size both have to be judged in advance. In wet weather some low-lying lanes are prone to standing water, which we factor into timing and vehicle choice.
At Dungeness, the shingle headland has no conventional street access at all, and homes there are reached across the estate roads and tracks. We handle these on request, with the approach confirmed before the day.
Every Marsh job starts with a pre-move survey, in person or by video call, to confirm vehicle size, turning space, parking and any permits. It is the step that keeps moving day from turning into a problem on a narrow lane.
Alongside the Marsh villages, our crews regularly cover Hythe, Folkestone and Ashford. New Romney, Dymchurch, Lydd, Brenzett and Appledore are all part of our regular area. For the full list of towns and villages, see our areas we cover page.
