Canterbury Professional Removals

Canterbury city centre presents genuine challenges for removal vehicles.

St Peter's Street, High Street, and the pedestrianised stretch of Burgate are all subject to access restrictions between 10am and 4pm on weekdays. Our drivers know these time windows and plan every city-centre move accordingly.

The CT1 postcode covers the historic core.

Properties on Northgate, Broad Street, and Old Dover Road often have no off-street parking. We carry suspension of parking permits and coordinate with Canterbury City Council's traffic management team when needed for larger jobs.

The Wincheap roundabout at the southern entry to the city can back up significantly on A28 approach roads during school run hours.

We route our vehicles via the A2050 ring road when running large lorries to properties in the CT2 and CT3 postcodes to avoid this entirely.

Properties near the Cathedral Quarter, particularly on Burgate Lane and Monastery Street, require smaller vehicles.

Our Luton vans rather than 7.5-tonne lorries service these streets. Buildings here frequently date to the 17th and 18th centuries and doorways can be narrow. Our crew carries furniture blankets and takes corner protections as standard.

The University of Kent campus in CT2, specifically the Giles Lane and Beverley Farm areas, sees heavy student move traffic in September and June.

Book at least five days ahead if your move falls in those months.

For residents in CT4 villages like Bridge, Barham, and Bishopsbourne, rural lane widths mean a single crew van is often the correct choice over a full lorry.

We assess vehicle size during quoting, not on the day, so there are no surprises at the kerbside.

Giant Van covers all Canterbury postcodes and the broader Kent districts surrounding the city.

Here is a breakdown of our coverage.

CT1 covers central Canterbury including the Cathedral Quarter, Wincheap, St Dunstan's, Northgate, and the areas around Canterbury East and Canterbury West railway stations.

This is our most requested Canterbury postcode.

CT2 covers Blean, Harbledown, St Stephen's, Rough Common, and the University of Kent campus area around Giles Lane.

Student and academic staff moves in this postcode are common throughout the year.

CT3 covers the villages to the east of Canterbury including Sturry, Littlebourne, Wickhambreaux, and Ickham.

Rural access via the A257 is standard for moves in this area.

CT4 covers Bridge, Barham, Waltham, Bishopsbourne, and the Elham Valley villages.

Narrow lanes in Barham and Bishopsbourne mean vehicle selection matters. We assess this during quoting.

We also regularly complete removals between Canterbury and other Kent towns.

Man with a van Canterbury to Whitstable (approximately 8 miles via the B2068) starts from £85. Canterbury to Faversham via the A2 is around 11 miles and starts from £95. Canterbury to Folkestone via the A20 is 25 miles and starts from £150.

Canterbury to London moves are priced as long-distance from £500 and include a motorway-rated vehicle appropriate for the M2 and A2 route.

We complete the A2 corridor from Canterbury to the M25 regularly and know the traffic patterns at Brenley Corner and Faversham junction well.
