Chatham is a busy town in the Medway district of Kent, approximately 33 miles south-east of Central London. The town has strong transport links via the A2 and M2, making it a practical base for long distance moves heading north, west, or into London.
Common relocation routes from Chatham include moves to Birmingham via the M40, Manchester via the M6, Bristol via the M25 and M4, and Edinburgh for longer Scottish relocations.
The area includes a variety of housing stock, from compact Edwardian terraces near Chatham High Street to larger detached homes in the Walderslade and Lordswood areas.
Giant Van is familiar with parking restrictions around the Pentagon Shopping Centre and the permit zones throughout the Medway towns, enabling smooth loading without delays on moving day.

How to Choose Your Chatham Local Removals Date
Giant Van vs Other Removals Options in Chatham
Giant Van has built its reputation on reliable long distance removals across the South East and beyond.
Our Chatham customers benefit from crews who understand Medway traffic patterns, know which roads suit large removal vans, and have experience managing loading in busy residential areas.
We use modern 3.5-tonne and 7.5-tonne vehicles depending on the size of your move, fitted with air-ride suspension on longer runs to minimise vibration and reduce the risk of damage to delicate items.
Every driver holds a full category C licence and undergoes regular manual handling training.
For customers combining a house move with white goods transport, Giant Van is one of the few Chatham removal firms with certified training in washing machine delivery and appliance reconnection.
We bring transit bolts for all major brands including Bosch, Hotpoint, Samsung, and Indesit, fit them before loading, and remove them after placing the machine in your new property.
Our team checks water connections and spin cycle operation before leaving, so you are not left with a flooded kitchen on your first night.
This level of detail is what separates a specialist from a general hire service.

Moving Guides and Advice
Local Removals Chatham — FAQs
How much do long distance removals from Chatham typically cost?
Prices depend on the volume of goods, distance, and if you need packing services. A typical two-bedroom move from Chatham to a destination 200 miles away starts from around 700 to 1,000 pounds for a standard van and two-person crew. Larger homes or full packing services add to this.
Giant Van provides a fixed, itemised quote after a free survey, so you know exactly what you will pay before booking day.
Do you offer packing services in Chatham as part of the removal?
Packing services in Chatham can be added to any removal booking or arranged as a standalone service. We typically pack the day before your move to keep moving day clear for loading and transit. All materials are supplied, including specialist boxes for dishes, wardrobes, and artwork.
You can choose full packing, part packing for fragile items only, or simply purchase materials and pack yourself.
Can you move a washing machine from Chatham to another city?
Yes. We handle washing machine delivery from Chatham to any UK destination. Our team fits transit bolts before loading to protect the drum during transit, uses appliance trolleys to prevent floor damage, and wraps the exterior with protective padding. At the destination, we reconnect the machine and check hoses are secure before we leave.
We also handle fridge-freezers, range cookers, and dishwashers using the same care.
How far in advance should I book long distance removals in Chatham?
We recommend booking at least 4 to 6 weeks before your planned moving date, particularly if you are moving during summer, school holidays, or at the end of a month when demand peaks. That said, we do accommodate last-minute bookings when availability allows.
Contact us as soon as you have a confirmed completion date so we can hold your preferred slot.
Do you provide storage if there is a gap between my move-out and move-in dates?
Yes. Giant Van offers short and long-term secure storage for customers whose new property is not ready on moving day. Your belongings are loaded into a clean, dry storage container held in our facility until you are ready for delivery. This is a popular option for chain sales or new-build completions where dates shift at short notice.
Storage is charged weekly and can usually be arranged at any point before or after your move.
Is my furniture insured during a long distance removal from Chatham?
All moves are covered by goods-in-transit insurance as standard. Our basic cover is included in every quote. We also offer enhanced all-risk cover for high-value items such as antiques, pianos, and specialist art. We recommend declaring any items valued above 500 pounds individually so they are documented and covered correctly.
Our coordinator will walk you through options during your free pre-move survey.
What areas do you cover for washing machine delivery to Chatham?
We handle washing machine delivery to Chatham from anywhere in England, Scotland, or Wales. Common delivery origins include London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, and Leeds. We also collect from private sellers, storage units, and retail warehouses. Deliveries are booked for a half-day window and include a 30-minute pre-arrival call so you are ready when we arrive.
Single-item appliance deliveries can often be scheduled within a few days.
Can you handle removals from flats with no lift access in Chatham?
Absolutely. Many Chatham properties have no lift, and our crews are trained and equipped for stair carries. We use stair-climbing trolleys, forearm straps, and furniture sliders to move large items safely without scratching walls or banisters. For very high floors or awkward staircase angles, we assess the property during your free survey and plan the safest approach.
We price stairs into your quote before you book, so nothing is added on the day.
