A single room
Out of a shared house, a lodger's room, or a bedroom going to a first flat.
Man and van
Part-loads, handled the same way
The scale is smaller; the standard is not. Two people, the same blankets and corner protection, and the same straps in the back of the vehicle.
A studio flat
A complete small household, which is the largest job this service is right for.
One large item
A sofa, a dresser, a bed, a bookcase — usually from a shop that stops at the kerb.
Saleroom lots
Kent has plenty of auction houses and most set a collection deadline. Send the lot number and the window.
Reclamation and trade
Fireplaces, stone, cast iron, architectural salvage. Weight changes the crew, so say what it is.
Storage runs
Part-loads into or out of a unit, which is usually smaller than people expect.
Where the service stops
At roughly two rooms of furniture. Past that, a man-and-van booking becomes several trips — longer, more tiring and usually more expensive than the removal would have been.
Describe the load honestly and we will tell you which service you actually need. It is a short conversation and it prevents a long day.
Collections, and what we need from you
A large share of this work never involves your home. For a collection we need four things: the address, the lot or invoice reference, the window the seller has given, and a straight description of the item.
The description matters more than it sounds. A Victorian fireplace, a cast-iron bath and a garden bench are all "one item", and one of them needs four people and a different vehicle.
What is included
- Two crew, not one person and optimism
- Blankets, corner protection and load straps
- Carrying at both ends, stairs included
- Goods-in-transit cover with the limits on your quote
- A straight answer about whether this is the right service
Where we go
Anywhere in Kent, and out of the county for single items and collections — London, Sussex, Surrey and Essex are routine, and further where the journey makes sense.
Worth knowing
Man and van, the honest answers
What size of job suits this?
A room, a studio, a few large pieces, a single item or a collection. Past a couple of rooms it becomes several trips and a full removal is both quicker and better value.
How many people come?
Two, wherever furniture is involved. A single person cannot safely take a wardrobe down a Medway staircase, and the attempt is how door frames and backs get damaged.
Do you collect from salerooms and dealers?
Weekly. Kent has plenty of both. Send the address, the lot or invoice reference, the seller's window and a straight description of the item — reclaimed stone and cast iron change what the crew needs to bring.
Can you go outside the county?
Single items and part-loads travel anywhere. A run into London, Sussex or Essex is routine; further afield is a question of the journey rather than the job.
Is the handling different from a full removal?
No. The same blankets, the same corner protection, the same straps. Only the scale changes.
Describe the load. We'll name the service.
What it is, the floor at each end, and whether a van can stand outside. That is enough for a straight answer.
