Prices are estimates. Your final quote will depend on the size of the move, access, distance, date and services required.

What changes the price

  • Restricted historic streets, controlled loading, upper floors, and long carries can increase handling time.
  • Packing, dismantling, period-property stairs, and larger crews change the final price.
  • University move dates and travel towards Whitstable, Herne Bay, Faversham, or rural East Kent affect demand and mileage.

Access and route notes

  • Confirm vehicle access windows, legal loading positions, floor level, and stair or lift dimensions for central addresses.
  • Share doorway, hallway, parking, and carry-distance details for period homes and converted flats.
  • For coastal or village moves, flag narrow approaches, restricted turns, private roads, and any need for a smaller vehicle.

Before you book

  • Compare the same inventory, packing level, access details, crew size, and move date across every quote.
  • Ask whether permits, waiting, dismantling, mileage, and restricted-access handling are included.
  • Use the instant estimate to plan, then request final quotes through MAZE before booking.
