Chatham removals, measured and made clear.
We’re a Medway removals firm that shows its working. Every move — a two-bed off Luton Road, an office on Chatham Maritime, a family heading for the Algarve — runs through the same five plain stages, and you see each one coming. No mystery, no price plucked from the air.
Written quotes only. We look at the job before we talk numbers.
- Chatham ME4, ME5
- Gillingham ME7, ME8
- Rochester ME1, ME2
- Strood ME2
- Rainham ME8
One move, five stages — grouped the way we actually work
We don’t sort our services by van size or price band. We sort them by where you are in the move, because that’s the order the work happens in and the order your worry happens in.
- 01
Survey
We scope the volume, the access and the parking before a single box is packed.
What this stage covers - 02
Pack
Wrapped, boxed and listed — as much or as little as you want us doing.
What this stage covers - 03
Load
Protected, sequenced and loaded so the van comes off in the right order.
What this stage covers - 04
Transit & Customs
Routed to the new address; for Europe, the customs paperwork handled for you.
What this stage covers - 05
Delivery & Settle
Placed room by room — through storage first if your dates leave a gap.

Move Readiness Scorecard
Four questions about your move. No sign-up, no price guess — just a plain read on what your move involves and the stages we’ll run it through.
What a Chatham move covers
Six things every move leans on. This is the shape of what we handle — the wider the reach, the more of it sits with our own crews rather than a partner.
- Packing Our crews, our materials
- Access & parking Planned before the day
- Storage Held between moves
- Insurance Transit cover arranged
- Consolidation Shared European loads
- Customs handling Paperwork on your behalf
In-house — our own people Arranged — through a vetted partner
Removals from Chatham to Europe
When a Medway move turns into a European one, the origin doesn’t change — the paperwork and the route do. We run four corridors regularly and know each one’s crossings and customs.
-
Chatham → France
The default first hop off the M2 — quickest to reach, widest range of drop-offs.
Removals from Chatham to France -
Chatham → Italy
The longest of the four hauls — planned around driver hours and Alpine passes.
Removals from Chatham to Italy -
Chatham → Spain
A long run down the French Atlantic side — busiest for retirement and lifestyle moves.
Removals from Chatham to Spain -
Chatham → Portugal
The furthest west — routed across Spain, most often for the Algarve and Lisbon.
Removals from Chatham to Portugal
The number should never be a surprise
Most complaints about removals come down to one thing: a price or a promise that didn’t match the day. We’d rather spend twenty minutes up front than lose your trust on the doorstep. So we survey properly, we write down what’s included, and we tell you what would change the figure before it changes.
That means being honest about the awkward bits too — the piano that needs three people and a strap, the Rochester loft conversion with a staircase built for nobody carrying a mattress, the Strood cul-de-sac where the lorry parks at the top and we shuttle down. None of that is a problem. Pretending it isn’t there until the morning of the move is the problem.
Straight answers, before you ask
Do you cover all of Medway, or just Chatham?
All of it. Chatham is where we’re based, but a normal week has us in Gillingham (ME7, ME8), across the river in Strood and Rochester (ME1, ME2), and out to Rainham. If you can see the Medway towns from your window, you’re in our patch.
How do you work out a quote without seeing the house?
We start from what you tell us — rooms, floors, lift or stairs, anything heavy or fragile — then confirm it with a video walk-round or a visit before anything is fixed. Volume, distance and access are what move the number, and we’d rather see the job than guess it. Your written quote sets out what’s included.
Can you handle a move abroad as well as a local one?
Yes. The same crew that clears a two-bed in Luton Road also loads for France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. The international side adds a route plan and customs paperwork on top of the ordinary packing and loading — we handle that part for you.
What if I only need help with part of the move?
That’s common. Plenty of people pack their own boxes and just want the muscle and the van for the day, or want us to wrap the fragile things and leave the rest. Tell us where you want the line drawn and we’ll price only that.
Tell us about the move
Send the shape of it — where from, where to, roughly how much. We read every one and reply by email with the next step. No price lands before we understand the job.
