Rooms and studios
A single room out of a shared house, a studio flat, or the contents of a bedroom going to a grown-up child's first place.
Man and van
Smaller loads, same standard
Two people and a van, wrapping to the same standard as a full house move. The only thing that changes is how much of it there is — and, honestly, how long your day takes.
Single pieces
A sofa, a dresser, a bed, a bookcase — usually something bought from a shop that delivers to the kerb and no further.
Saleroom lots
Kent has plenty of auction houses and most have a collection deadline. Send the lot number and the window and we will work to it.
Reclamation and trade
Fireplaces, stone troughs, cast iron, architectural pieces. Say what it is — weight changes what the crew brings.
Marketplace buys
Something too big for a car, two counties away, from a seller who is not going to drive it to you.
Storage runs
Moving a part-load into or out of a storage unit, which is usually a smaller job than people expect.
Where the line sits
Man and van works up to about a couple of rooms of furniture. Past that, a booking made to save money becomes three trips, a long day and more money than the removal would have cost.
Describe the load honestly and we will tell you which side of that line you are on. Getting it wrong helps nobody, least of all us at seven in the evening with a third run still to do.
Collections, which are half the work
A good share of these bookings never involve your home at all. What we need is the collection address, the lot or invoice reference, the seller's window, and a straight description of the item.
That last one matters more than people think. A Victorian fireplace, a stone trough and a cast-iron bath are all "one item" and all need different handling — and one of them needs four people rather than two.
What you get either way
- Two people, not one with a trolley and good intentions
- Blankets, corner protection and straps in the back
- Carrying at both ends, including up and down stairs
- Goods-in-transit cover, with the limits on your quote
- A straight answer about whether this is the right service for you
Across the county and beyond
Anywhere in Kent for the short work, and out of it for single items and collections — London, Sussex, Essex and further where the run makes sense.
Worth knowing
Man and van, the honest answers
What size job is this for?
A room, a studio, a handful of large pieces, a single item, or a collection. Once you are past a couple of rooms of furniture it stops being economical and becomes three trips — at which point a proper removal costs less and takes less of your day.
Is it two people?
Always, where there is furniture. One person cannot safely take a wardrobe down a Chatham staircase, and the attempt damages backs, banisters and door frames.
Do you do trade and saleroom collections?
Weekly. Kent has salerooms, reclamation yards and architectural dealers, and a lot of this work never involves a house at all. Send the address, the lot or invoice reference, and the window the seller has given you — and say what the item is, because reclaimed stone and cast iron change what the crew brings.
Can you deliver outside the county?
Single items and small loads go anywhere. A run to London, Sussex or Essex is ordinary; further afield is a question of the journey rather than the job.
Is the wrapping the same as on a full move?
Identical. Blankets, corner protection and straps in the back. The only thing that changes is how much of it there is.
Describe the load and both addresses.
What it is, which floor at each end, and whether there is anywhere to put a van. That is enough for a straight answer.
