Removals Canterbury
Trusted Canterbury Moving Services by Regal Moving & Storage
Removals Canterbury covers everything from a single-room student let near the university to a full family house move inside the old city walls, and each one gets planned differently. Every job here comes with its own move coordinator, plus the backing of BAR membership and ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification.
Canterbury's medieval street layout means access varies enormously depending on where you are, a wide driveway in the suburbs is nothing like a terraced street inside the walls. We plan vehicle size, timing and crew numbers around that from the first conversation, not after the van gets stuck somewhere it shouldn't be.
Removals Canterbury: What We Cover
We offer a full suite of services designed to make your Canterbury relocation as simple and efficient as possible. Student moves, family relocations and everything in between need a different plan, so the first thing your coordinator does is work out what kind of move yours actually is. A shared house near the university has different access and timing needs to a family home off the Sturry Road, and we scope that before quoting rather than after.
House removals for families and professionals
From period terraces inside the city walls to larger homes further out, we plan access and loading around the property, not a generic template.
Business Moves
Office and commercial relocations across Canterbury, planned to keep disruption to trading hours to a minimum.
European & International Removals
Heading abroad? We specialise in European and international removals, offering expertise in export packing, customs clearance, and logistics to make your overseas move stress-free.
Packing Services
Full or part packing with proper materials, whether that is a single room or a full household.
Secure Storage Options
Short or long-term storage alongside your move, covered in more detail further down this page.
Getting Around Canterbury on Moving Day
Canterbury's city centre sits within the old city walls, and streets here are genuinely narrow, some are pedestrianised entirely, others allow only limited vehicle access at set times. If your property is inside the walls or close to them, we check the route and any loading restrictions before confirming your moving day plan, rather than discovering the problem on the day.
Parking is controlled across much of the city, and Canterbury City Council runs a resident permit scheme covering the different zones. If you do not have off-street parking, it is worth checking your zone and applying ahead of your move date, since availability in some areas is limited.
Student areas such as Wincheap, St Dunstan's, Northgate and the Sturry Road all have their own access quirks, terraced streets, shared driveways and, in some cases, no parking directly outside the property. Tell us which of these your move involves and we will plan the right size vehicle for the street, not just the job.
For routes in and out of the city, Canterbury sits close to the A2 and M2, with high-speed rail services running into London in under an hour. That combination of a historic core and strong transport links is part of why moves here need more planning than a standard out-of-town relocation.
About Canterbury
Canterbury is a cathedral city in Kent, built around the medieval city walls and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Canterbury Cathedral. Its historic core sits alongside a genuinely large student population, with Canterbury Christ Church University and the University of Kent both based in the city, which shapes both the housing market and moving patterns here.
Beyond the city centre, areas such as Wincheap, St Dunstan's and Northgate offer a mix of student housing and family homes, while Hales Place and the Sturry Road corridor sit further out with a different property mix again. High-speed rail links put London under an hour away, and the A2 and M2 give straightforward road access, which keeps Canterbury attractive to commuters as well as students and long-term residents.
Storage in Canterbury
A Canterbury move sometimes needs a storage gap, particularly for student moves that do not line up with standard tenancy dates, or a family move with a delayed completion. We offer three storage options alongside removals, self storage units, containerised wooden container storage, and mobile collect-and-deliver storage, and can talk you through which one best suits a mid-tenancy or mid-sale gap.
Whether it is a single room's worth of belongings between tenancies or a full house during a longer gap, one of the three options covers it.
