Victorian seaside terraces and villas on the streets behind the front, clifftop bungalows at Beltinge, flats above the town centre, and the family houses inland at Herne and Broomfield. Friendly crews, careful work, and a quote you can read.
The oak wardrobe will not go through the flat's hall. Better to know now.
A Victorian resort with a clifftop on one side, a marsh on the other and a great deal of bungalow in between. Six things shape a move in CT6.
The promenade side has loading limits, the streets behind are permit-controlled with nothing spare in season, and the centre fills from mid-morning in summer. We agree the loading point at survey and start early where that is the sensible answer.
Narrow hallways, a stair that turns at the top, and a front door straight onto the pavement. The same volume takes noticeably longer here than out of a bungalow with a driveway, and we price that rather than discovering it on the morning.
A lot of CT6 is bungalow and retirement stock, with people moving into it and later out of it again. The valuable part of that job is not the carrying — it is measuring the new place and telling you what will not fit.
The Beltinge clifftop is exposed, and an onshore gale genuinely changes what is sensible with a high-sided vehicle and an open tailgate. We check the forecast and will move a start time rather than push it.
On the seafront side, gate hinges, railings and outbuilding doors are frequently not what they look like. We would rather find that at survey than by leaning on something with a wardrobe in hand.
The A299 runs along the top of the town and links to the M2, which makes a long move from here quicker to start than from most of east Kent. It is also why we ask what time you need to be away in season.
No mystery and no pressure. The same order every time.

Each of those has its own specialist on our network, and the Kent county site covers everything above town level. We stay in CT6 and point you at the right one rather than covering a town in passing.
Who covers what →Out on the Thanet Way to the M2, then the M20 to the Kent crossings — which are closer from here than from almost anywhere in the country. Four destinations, route-pair framed.
More than anything else. Herne Bay has a great deal of bungalow and retirement stock and a steady flow of people moving into it and, later, out of it into something smaller again. The useful part of that job is not the carrying — it is telling you at survey what will not fit in the new place.
Restricted, and busier than people remember in summer. The streets behind the front are narrow Victorian terraces with permit parking, and the promenade side has loading limits. We check the bays for your address and start early where that is the sensible answer.
Yes, and we look at the approach first. Some of the clifftop roads are narrow with limited turning, a few of the properties sit down private drives, and wind is a genuine factor on that stretch in a way it is not half a mile inland.
We work the edges, but those towns have their own specialists on our network and they know those streets better than we would. For anything properly in Whitstable or Canterbury we will point you at them rather than cover a town in passing.
Yes — wrapped, listed on an inventory and racked indoors, collected as part of the same move. It comes up constantly on downsizing moves, where the gap is less about the chain and more about deciding what comes.
Send both addresses and a rough idea of what is coming. We come and look — or do it on a video call if that is easier — then put a clear quote in writing.
