Seven things, in a seaside town where most of the work is people moving into something smaller. Everything below is surveyed before it is priced, and if a smaller service would do the job we will say so.
Whole households, surveyed first.
Victorian seaside terraces and villas on the streets behind the front, post-war estates, and the family houses inland at Herne and Broomfield. The loft, the garage, the shed and the beach hut all counted.

We measure the new place as well as the old one and tell you what will not fit before we deliver it. Easy carries, larger volumes than people expect, and storage for the things you have not decided about.
Read more →Five questions settle it.
Flats above the town-centre shops, conversions in the old seaside villas, and the newer blocks near the front. Floor, lift, stairwell turn, communal door and where the vehicle can stand.
Read more →A room, a collection, a beach hut.
Two people and a smaller vehicle, booked by the job — including saleroom collections and beach hut clearances along the prom, which hold far more than they look like they do.
Read more →Wrapped, inventoried, racked indoors.
Containerised rather than self-store. Used here most often as thinking time on a downsizing move, and for the gap while a new flat gets decorated.
Read more →Full, part, or just the breakables.
Cell partitions for glass, purpose-made cases for framed work and mirrors, proper protection for lamps. Materials chosen per item rather than per room, and taken away when we leave.
France, Spain, Italy and Portugal.
Route-pair framed from Herne Bay, with the Kent crossings barely half an hour away and the customs file built from the survey inventory.
Read more →Four things move the number: how much is going, the access at both ends, how much packing you want done, and how far it travels. Not the season, not how urgent it sounds, not what somebody else quoted.
That also makes quotes comparable. If you are weighing us against another firm, check both have measured the same volume and assume the same packing depth — most of the difference between two prices lives there.
Unsure which you need? Describe it on the quote form. Questions covers what comes up next, and coverage shows where we work.
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.
