Full details and what is includedWe built Medway and Kent Removals on a simple principle: do what you say, treat every customer's belongings with genuine care, and be completely honest about pricing. Five years and over 800 successful moves later, that principle has not changed.
Every removal we carry out is covered by comprehensive goods-in-transit insurance and full public liability insurance. Your belongings are protected from the moment our crew arrives at your door until the final item is placed in your new property. Unlike some smaller operators, our insurance covers the full replacement value of your possessions, not just a fraction of it. We carry this documentation with us on every job and are happy to show you proof of cover.
When we give you a quote, that is the price you pay. There are no additional charges on moving day for stairs, parking delays, heavy items or extra time. Before we quote, we take the time to understand exactly what you need: the size of your property, the volume of belongings, any specialist items, parking access at both addresses, and whether you require packing, storage or furniture assembly. Our quotes are detailed, accurate and fixed.
Every member of our removal crew is background-checked before they join the team and trained to our high standards of careful handling, methodical loading, proper furniture wrapping and safe manual handling. Our team is professional, punctual and courteous. They understand that moving day is stressful, and they work hard to make it as smooth as possible. Many of our crew members have been with us since we started and bring years of experience to every job.
We are based at 47 Knight Templar Way, Rochester, ME2 2ZE. This is not just a registered address. This is where we operate from every day. We know every postcode in Medway, every one-way system in Rochester and Chatham, the parking restrictions in Gillingham, the narrow roads in Strood and the access challenges in high-rise blocks across the area. That local knowledge means fewer delays, better route planning and a smoother moving day for you.
We understand that on moving day, time is everything. Your solicitor has a completion window, the estate agent has a key handover time, and you have a family to coordinate. Our teams arrive at the agreed time, every time. We provide a pre-move confirmation call the evening before your move, and you can reach us directly by phone throughout the day. If anything changes, we communicate immediately and adjust the plan accordingly.
Our reputation is built on the experiences of real customers in Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Maidstone, Gravesend and across the whole of Kent. We have maintained a 4.9-star average rating across over 200 Google reviews because we genuinely care about getting every move right. When something goes wrong, we take responsibility and fix it. When everything goes to plan, which it almost always does, our customers remember us and recommend us to their friends and family.
Choosing a removal company that is genuinely based in your area is one of the most important decisions you can make when planning a move. Here is why our Rochester base gives you a real advantage.
Medway is a complex area to navigate. Rochester city centre has restricted parking zones and narrow medieval streets around the High Street. Chatham has busy one-way systems and limited access near the Pentagon Shopping Centre. Gillingham has a dense residential street network with frequent parking challenges. Strood has its own traffic flow patterns, particularly around the bridge and retail areas. Rainham and the outer Medway estates present different challenges again.
Our crew knows all of this because they live and work here. We do not rely on sat-nav to navigate Medway on moving day. We plan routes in advance based on real local knowledge, and we know where to position the van to give the most efficient access without disrupting your neighbours or causing parking issues.
This local expertise saves time, reduces stress and means your moving day runs smoothly from the moment we arrive to the moment we leave.
Being based in Rochester means we can respond quickly to new enquiries, visit your property for a survey if required, and be on-site promptly on moving day. We are not a large national company operating out of a central dispatch centre. When you call us, you speak to a real member of our local team who knows the area you are moving from and the area you are moving to.
Our local base also means lower travel costs for moves within Medway and the surrounding Kent area. We do not charge excessive call-out fees or travel supplements for local moves because our depot is already close to where you need us.
Whether you are moving within Rochester, relocating from Medway to Maidstone, or making a long-distance move from Kent to another part of the UK, you will find our local knowledge and genuine commitment to customer service make all the difference.
We have designed our booking process to be as simple and stress-free as possible. You should be focused on your new home, not spending hours getting quotes or filling in complicated forms.
Fill in our short online form or call us on 01634 570 000. Tell us about your move: where you are moving from and to, the size of your property, your preferred date, and any special requirements such as packing, storage, piano removal or furniture assembly. We review all enquiries personally and respond with a detailed, fixed-price quote, usually within 60 minutes during business hours. There is no obligation and no pressure.
Once you are happy with the quote, simply confirm your booking with a deposit to secure your moving date. We will send you a full booking confirmation by email detailing everything that is included, the start time, our crew details and our contact number for the day. In the run-up to your move, we carry out a pre-move courtesy call to confirm all details and answer any last-minute questions you may have about the day.
On the day of your move, our crew arrives at the agreed time with the correctly sized vehicle, all necessary equipment and a can-do attitude. We protect your floors, doorframes and furniture, disassemble anything that needs taking apart, load methodically and carefully, transport your belongings safely to your new property, unload and reassemble furniture as required, and place items in the correct rooms. We do not leave until you are completely satisfied with the job.
A well-prepared move is a smooth move. Here is our practical guide based on hundreds of removals across Medway and Kent.
The most sought-after moving dates in Medway are end-of-month Fridays, particularly during the summer school holiday period between July and September. If your completion date or tenancy end date falls around these times, book your removal as soon as you have an agreed date. Leaving it too late could mean your preferred date is not available. We recommend booking at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance for peak periods.
Begin packing items you do not use regularly at least two weeks before your move. Books, ornaments, out-of-season clothing, spare bedding, DVDs and decorative items can all be boxed up well in advance. Label every box clearly with the contents and the room it belongs in at your new property. This makes unloading far faster and ensures nothing ends up in the wrong room. If you have booked our packing service, we will advise you on exactly what to prepare beforehand.
One of the most common causes of delay on moving day is inadequate parking for the removal vehicle. Contact your local council well in advance to arrange a parking suspension if needed, particularly in busy Medway streets where double yellow lines or permit zones are common. In Rochester city centre, Chatham High Street and parts of Gillingham, this is especially important. We can advise you on the van size we will bring so you can arrange the correct amount of space.
If possible, visit your new property before moving day and plan where your main items of furniture will go. Take measurements of doorways, stairwells and rooms so you know in advance if any large items need to be dismantled to fit through. This avoids expensive delays on moving day. Share your floor plan or room preferences with our crew at the start of the day so they can place items in the right rooms first time without having to move them again.

We have completed over 800 removals across Rochester, Medway and Kent since 2020. Here is what some of our customers have said.
"From the initial quote right through to the team leaving our new home, Medway and Kent Removals were outstanding. They arrived exactly on time, worked quickly and carefully, and treated everything as if it were their own. Moving from Chatham to Maidstone could have been a nightmare but they made it completely stress-free. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone in Kent."
"We used Medway and Kent Removals for our office relocation in Rochester. They worked over a Saturday to avoid disrupting our team during the week. Everything was labelled, tracked and placed exactly where we needed it in the new office. Absolutely nothing was damaged, the price was exactly what they quoted, and the whole thing was done faster than we expected. Genuinely first class."
"The packing service was exceptional. The team carefully wrapped every single item including some very fragile antiques and my grandmother's mirror that I was really worried about. Everything arrived in our new home in Gillingham in perfect condition. They were professional, polite, incredibly careful and great value for money. I cannot recommend them highly enough."
