Man and Van Services Across Kent
Kent is one of the most varied counties in England for removal work. You have dense urban streets in Maidstone and Gillingham, commuter villages like Borough Green and Headcorn, and coastal towns such as Whitstable, Herne Bay, and Margate. Giant Van operates across all of them.
Fully InsuredGPS TrackedSame-Day Available
Our man and van service in Kent covers single-item collections, flat and house moves, student relocations, and office clear-outs. A typical man and van job in Kent runs between £45 and £300 depending on volume, distance, and whether stairs or heavy furniture are involved. Same-day bookings start from £80.
We serve postcodes ME1 through ME20, CT1 through CT21, TN1 through TN40, BR6, DA1 through DA18, and the full TN postcode belt across the Sevenoaks and Tonbridge areas. If you are leaving a flat in Rochester High Street ME1 or moving a sofa from a cottage near Tenterden TN30, we can reach you. Our vehicles range from small transit vans for single-item jobs to large Luton box vans for full household moves. Every booking includes a professional driver and at least one loader. You get GPS tracking through our app so you always know where your team is. All loads are fully insured in transit at no extra cost.
Kent Road and Access Conditions Our Drivers Know
Kent presents access challenges that drivers unfamiliar with the county regularly get wrong.
Our teams know them well.
The A2 through Dartford and Gravesend becomes heavily congested from 07:30 to 09:30 and again from 16:00 to 18:30 on weekdays.
We route around this via the B2000 through Swanscombe where possible. The Dartford Crossing carries a charge for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, which we account for in your quote upfront.
In Canterbury, the city centre has a pedestrian zone enforced Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00.
Loading bays on St George's Street CT1 and Rose Lane CT1 have a 20-minute limit strictly enforced by wardens. We advise early-morning slots before 09:00 for moves in the central area.
Maidstone town centre has restricted access on Week Street ME14 and Gabriel's Hill ME15.
The multi-storey car parks on Fremlin Walk do not accept vehicles taller than 2.1 metres. We use Union Street ME14 and Lower Stone Street ME15 for access where permits allow.
In Tunbridge Wells, Calverley Road TN1 has narrow pavements and limited stopping space near the Royal Victoria Place shopping centre.
The Pantiles area TN2 has cobblestones that require careful handling of fragile items. We carry furniture blankets and strapping on every job.
Rural Kent also has its challenges.
Single-lane roads near Smarden TN27, Biddenden TN27, and the lanes around Cranbrook TN17 require smaller vehicles. We always ask about lane width and turning space at the booking stage.

6 Tips
We can usually dispatch a team within two to four hours if you call before mid-morning. After midday, same-day availability depends on team location and job queue. Call as early as possible.
In Maidstone, temporary suspension of a bay costs around £55 and requires 48 hours notice from the council. In Canterbury, loading exemptions near CT1 postcodes must be arranged with Kent County Council traffic management. We can advise but the permit must be in your name.
Wardrobes taller than 200cm often cannot pass through stairwells in older Victorian terraces common to streets like Camden Road TN1 or Buckland Hill ME16. Flat-pack the frame and we carry the panels. This saves 30 to 45 minutes on a typical job.
Our crew loads in reverse delivery order. Clear labelling means your kitchen boxes come off the van last and go straight to the right room. This cuts unloading time by up to a third.
Low bridges are common in rural Kent. The bridge on Chart Road near Ashford TN23 has a 3.0 metre limit. The Medway tunnel approach on the A289 ME4 restricts certain load heights. We plan every route before departure.

Kent Areas We Cover: Towns, Villages, and Postcodes
Giant Van covers the full county of Kent.
Below are the key areas we serve regularly.
Maidstone and the Medway towns (ME1 to ME20) account for the largest share of our Kent bookings.
This includes Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, Rainham, and Sittingbourne. The Medway towns have a high density of Victorian terraced streets where parking is tight and staircases are steep. We carry extended straps for exactly this reason.
Canterbury and East Kent (CT1 to CT21) covers Canterbury city, Whitstable, Herne Bay, Faversham, Margate, Ramsgate, and Folkestone.
The CT postcodes run along the coast to the port of Dover. We run regular moves between Kent and London for commuters relocating from areas like Sevenoaks TN13 and Swanley BR8.
Tunbridge Wells and the Weald (TN1 to TN40) spans Royal Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Cranbrook, Tenterden, Ashford, and Rye.
This is largely rural territory with many period properties, converted barns, and detached houses with long access drives. We plan these jobs carefully at the booking stage.
North Kent and Dartford (DA1 to DA18) covers Dartford, Gravesend, Swanscombe, Northfleet, and Erith.
These areas sit close to the London boundary and we move many customers between North Kent and South East London on the same job.
We also cover Sheerness ME12, Deal CT14, Sandwich CT13, New Romney TN28, Lydd TN29, and Dungeness TN29 on the Romsey Marsh.
Call ahead for remote rural postcodes so we can confirm vehicle access.

We know Kent well. Our drivers navigate the local streets daily, handling everything from narrow terraced house access to large detached properties. Every move is treated with care because our reputation in Kent depends on it.
Kent Operations, Giant Van Driver
Why Kent Customers Choose Giant Van
There are several man and van operators in Kent. Here is what separates Giant Van from the rest.
Fixed prices. We quote a price before the job starts and we stick to it. No surprises when the van arrives. No charges added because the stairs were harder than expected. The price you see is the price you pay.
Same-day availability. We dispatch teams across Kent seven days a week. If you need a van in Maidstone today, call before 10:00 and we will usually be with you by early afternoon. Most local operators cannot match this for same-day Kent jobs.
App-based tracking. Our GPS tracking system is built into the Giant Van app. You track your driver in real time from departure to arrival. This is useful for Kent jobs where A-road delays on the M20, M2, and A21 can affect arrival times without warning.
Fully insured loads. All goods travel under comprehensive goods in transit insurance. We are happy to share our certificate before your move. Many van hire operators in Kent carry only third-party vehicle insurance, which leaves your belongings unprotected.
Transparent pricing. Our rates start at £45 for a single-item local collection. A full one-bedroom flat move within the same Kent postcode district typically costs between £150 and £250. A two-bedroom house move from Maidstone to Canterbury costs between £250 and £400. These are real numbers, not starting-from figures.
We do not charge extra for weekends. Our Saturday and Sunday rates match our weekday prices. For last-minute weekend bookings in Kent, call directly for the fastest response.

Best Times to Book a Man and Van in Kent
7 Tips
Here is what our scheduling data shows.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday between 08:00 and 11:00 are the quietest periods. If you have flexibility, these slots also avoid peak congestion on the A2, M20, and M2 corridors that serve the county.
Tenancy agreements in Maidstone, Canterbury, and Tunbridge Wells typically end on the last day of the month. The final week of any month sees our Kent availability fill up quickly. Book at least 72 hours in advance if your move falls between the 25th and the 31st.
The University of Kent campus is in CT2, and Canterbury Christ Church is across CT1. Both generate significant demand for man and van services in the surrounding streets. If you are in the CT postcode area and need to move during term changeover, book early.
For weekend moves across Kent, book Thursday or Friday at the latest. For bank holiday moves, book a minimum of one week ahead as our slots fill completely in advance.
