Covering all areas of Canterbury
Canterbury is a historic cathedral city with a mix of period properties in the city centre, student accommodation around the universities, and family housing in the surrounding villages. Whether you’re moving into or out of shared housing near Canterbury Christ Church or the University of Kent, relocating from an established home in Sturry, Harbledown, or Whitstable Road, or downsizing from a larger property, we help you find local drivers who know the area and can assist with your move.
We cover all types of moves across Canterbury and the nearby villages. If you need a full house move, help clearing a flat at the end of a student tenancy, assistance shifting furniture between properties, or someone to deliver appliances, we connect you to drivers with the right van for the job. Moves here range from compact student lets near the city centre to larger family homes in the suburbs and rural properties in the surrounding countryside, with drivers experienced in navigating the city’s historic streets.
We also cover nearby areas including Ashford, Maidstone, Kent, Hastings, and Tunbridge Wells. Canterbury’s position on the A2 and with High Speed rail links to London St Pancras makes it exceptionally well connected for moves across Kent and beyond. Local drivers regularly help with relocations around the city centre, Kent and Canterbury Hospital, and the university campuses. The busy streets around St Dunstans, Wincheap, and the High Street see regular moving activity, while residential areas in St Stephens, Thanington, and Rough Common have steady demand. The student calendar creates busy periods in September and June, while the coastal villages of Herne Bay and Whitstable attract families and retirees looking for seaside living with good transport links.
The wider Kent region is accessible from Canterbury. Drivers based here regularly help with moves across East Kent and into the Medway Towns and Thanet, whether you’re heading to London or relocating further afield. We make it straightforward to compare available drivers, choose the right van size, and find someone suited to your specific move.
Here are some popular areas that we operate in around Canterbury.
