Moving in Tenterden: Access and Property
Tenterden is a market town on the western edge of the Weald above the Romney Marsh, and its character shapes how a move runs here.
The High Street is a broad, tree-lined conservation area, but it is busy with shoppers, market traffic and time-restricted parking and loading bays rather than free kerbside space. For addresses on or near it, we plan the loading position and any permit in advance rather than relying on finding a space on the day.
The weatherboarded and tile-hung listed buildings that give the town its look have period interiors, with narrow staircases, low doorways and uneven floors. These are handled by hand with full protection, and larger items are dismantled where needed to get them out cleanly.
The surrounding villages and lanes, out toward Biddenden, Rolvenden, Woodchurch, Appledore, Wittersham and the Marsh edge, bring narrow rural roads and occasional weight limits, and rural properties on long or unmade drives. Where a full-size van cannot reach the door, we confirm a turning point or run a smaller shuttle vehicle.
We settle the vehicle, route, crew and parking plan at the survey, so the access is worked out before moving day rather than on it.
Areas We Cover Near Tenterden
Alongside Tenterden and the TN30 postcode, our crews regularly cover Cranbrook and the western villages, as well as Ashford, Hythe, Folkestone and Canterbury.

Sarah Trigg
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.

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.
