Flat removals in Herne Bay
Flats and apartments across CT6 — above the town-centre shops, conversions in the old villas, and the newer blocks near the front.
Herne Bay's flats come in three quite different shapes, and each fails in a different place.
Above the shops
Town-centre flats reached by a shared street door and a stair that was fitted in around the shop below. No standing outside, loading restrictions on the road, and a landing that belongs to several households. These are early-start jobs and they go much better for it.
Villa conversions
The old seaside villas divided into flats — generous rooms, tall windows, and a staircase built for one household rather than four. The turn on the half-landing is what determines whether a three-seat sofa leaves the building in one piece, so we measure it before quoting rather than discovering it with the sofa halfway up.
The newer blocks
Nearer the front and on the edges of the town. Easier: proper communal doors, sometimes a lift, usually somewhere sensible to stand. Where there is a lift we want to know whether it takes furniture and whether it needs booking.
The five questions
- What floor, and is there a lift
- If there is a lift, does it take furniture and does it need booking
- How tight is the stairwell turn
- How wide is the communal door
- Where can the vehicle legally stand, and how far is the carry
A video survey answers all five in a few minutes — walk us up the stairs on your phone.
Shared space
Communal doors, landings and stairs belong to your neighbours as much as to you. Protection goes on the edges, the stair stays passable, and the door is not left standing open longer than the carry needs.

Flat move questions
What do you need to know about a flat?
Floor, whether there is a lift, how tight the stairwell turn is, how wide the communal door is, and where the vehicle can legally stand. Those five answers get us most of the way to an accurate number.
Are the town-centre flats difficult?
Some. Stairs above a shop with a shared street door, a landing that belongs to the neighbours too, and loading restrictions outside. Early starts help a great deal.
What about villa conversions?
Big rooms, generous windows and a staircase that was built for one household rather than four. The turn on the half-landing is what decides whether a sofa leaves in one piece, and we measure it before quoting.
Do the newer blocks have lifts?
Some do. Where there is one we want to know whether it is a goods lift and whether it needs booking — a lift slot is occasionally harder to get than the date.
Will you protect communal areas?
Yes. Your neighbours did not agree to your move — edges get protection, the stair stays passable, and the front door is not propped longer than the carry needs.
Moving out of a flat?
Tell us the floor, the lift and the stairwell turn. A video survey takes minutes and settles the rest.
