Based just minutes away in Rochester, Medway and Kent Removals provides fully insured house removals, office relocations, packing services, man and van and storage throughout Chatham, ME4 and ME5. Fixed-price quotes, experienced crew and genuine local knowledge of every street in the borough.
Chatham is one of the most active areas for removals in the whole of Medway. The town has a varied and substantial housing stock, from the large Victorian terraces in the older residential streets close to the High Street and the station, to the significant post-war social and private housing estates across Walderslade, Luton, Hempstead and Princes Park, to the newer private developments that have emerged around the Chatham Waters waterfront regeneration project.
We carry out more removals in Chatham than in almost any other part of Kent outside of Rochester itself. Our team knows the town thoroughly, the one-way systems around Chatham town centre, the parking challenges near the Pentagon Shopping Centre and the High Street, the access challenges at the many mid-rise and high-rise flat blocks across the borough, and the approach routes that avoid the bottlenecks that regularly form around the main road junctions.
This local knowledge is not just a nice-to-have. On a busy moving day in Chatham, knowing where to position the removal van for access, which roads to avoid at school run time, and where to request a parking suspension from Medway Council means the difference between a smooth six-hour move and a stressful, delayed, overrunning day. Our Chatham customers consistently praise the efficiency and calm professionalism of our team, and our 4.9-star Google rating reflects the consistent standard of service we deliver across the borough.

Chatham presents some specific logistical challenges that our team navigates on a daily basis. The town centre one-way system requires careful route planning, particularly for larger removal lorries that cannot make certain turns. The High Street pedestrian zones and restricted access periods mean we plan Chatham town centre moves carefully around the permitted vehicle access windows.
A significant proportion of Chatham's housing stock is in mid-rise and high-rise blocks, particularly in areas like Pembroke Road, The Brook and surrounding streets. Moves in these properties involve carrying furniture and boxes up multiple flights of stairs without lift access, and careful planning of the loading sequence to ensure the vehicle is positioned for maximum efficiency. Our crew is trained and physically capable of carrying all sizes of furniture up and down multiple flights without rushing or cutting corners on care.
The Chatham Waters development and other newer residential schemes in the borough present different challenges, often excellent vehicle access and lift provision, but with strict resident management rules about moving times and lift bookings that need to be arranged well in advance. We advise all Chatham customers to check the moving policies of their building management and we factor any restrictions into our scheduling and quote.
We also know the parking permit zones across Chatham in detail. Many residential streets in Chatham operate controlled parking zone schemes, meaning a removal vehicle left on double yellow lines or in a permit zone without a suspension risks a fine and disruption to the move. We advise every Chatham customer on the correct parking suspension process (applied for through Medway Council, requiring at least 7 working days notice and a small fee), and we specify the correct length of parking space to request based on our vehicle.
Chatham's housing density and varied terrain mean we plan each move from a specific address rather than a generic Chatham approach. For Walderslade and Hempstead hilltop properties we check vehicle access and turning space before quoting; for the Victorian terraces around Luton, New Road and Magpie Hall Road we usually run a smaller vehicle and factor in the residents' parking schemes; and for Chatham Maritime apartments we work with the building managers in advance to book the lift and the loading bay. This street-by-street planning is what keeps Chatham moves on schedule.
A high proportion of Chatham moves stay within Medway. For Chatham-to-Gillingham relocations we use the same crew throughout, with the local picture covered in more detail on our moving company in Gillingham page. Chatham-to-Strood moves are typically completed in a single direct trip via the M2; full local routing is set out on our Strood removals service page.
We serve Chatham and all surrounding areas including the following postcodes and neighbourhoods. If you are unsure whether we cover your specific street or postcode, call us on 01634 971005 and we will confirm immediately.
Chatham quotes are built around the specifics of your address, your contents and your access, never from a generic rate card. The variables that move the price up or down are the volume to be moved, the type of property, the access at both ends, the distance to your destination, your preferred move date, and whether you want extras like a full packing service, dismantling and reassembly, or short or long-term storage. For 3-bedroom homes upwards we send a surveyor at no charge, in person or by video walkthrough, so we can quote on the actual contents rather than guess.
When you accept the figure, it is locked. We never add day-of-move charges for stairs, parking waits, heavier items than expected, overrun time, fuel surcharges, or anything else. If we underestimate something, that is our problem to absorb, not yours. Chatham moves often involve the steeper streets around Walderslade, Hempstead and Princes Park, or the dense terraces around the High Street and Luton, and we factor those access realities into the quote up front so there are no surprises on completion day.
Because every Chatham move is carried out by our own employed crew using our own vehicles and equipment, with no subcontracting, our pricing stays consistently competitive against the national removal firms working in Medway, with the added accountability of dealing with the same team from quote to delivery.

"Used Medway and Kent Removals to move from a third-floor flat in Chatham with no lift. The team were brilliant, professional, careful and incredibly efficient on the stairs.
