Everything we move
Grouped by what you are arriving at, because in a town building at this rate the far end is the part that determines how a job has to be booked.
Leaving one kind and arriving at another? That is the standard Ashford pairing.
Developer completions — notice rather than a date, and a site that is still becoming a street.
Completion on notice, unfinished roads
The distinctive Ashford job. A developer gives notice rather than a date, the estate road may still be a site road, and nothing is marked out. Planned to be ready when the call comes rather than booked against a date that does not exist yet.
What it involves →Chain purchases into older stock, with a date you can actually plan against.
Chains, surveys and a fixed date
The ordinary chain purchase into an older Ashford street or a village outside the town. A real completion date, a proper survey, and the usual question of what is in the loft and the garage.
What it involves →Tenancy dates, fixed at both ends and not negotiable.
Check-in and check-out dates
Tenancy moves where the dates are set by an agreement rather than a solicitor. Fixed at both ends, unforgiving, and planned backwards from the check-out time rather than forwards from convenience.
What it involves →Jobs defined by the load rather than the destination.
Rooms, part-loads, single pieces
Two crew and a van for a room, a single heavy item or a part-load. Common on the newer estates where someone is moving in stages, and in the town centre flats.
What it involves →Where the far end does not exist on the day you have to leave.
Held while the far end resolves
Goods collected, listed and held. On a new build this is the standard answer to a completion that has slipped past the date you had to leave the last place.
What it involves →Commercial handovers, scheduled around a lease.
Town offices, units, stock
Commercial work around the town-centre offices, the business parks and the industrial units off the M20 junctions. Scheduled around a lease handover rather than a household.
What it involves →Four things, and how urgent the move sounds is not among them. How much is genuinely travelling, taken with a tape. What the access allows at each end — which out here can mean an unadopted estate road or a Weald lane. How much packing you want done. And whether anything is held in between.
Those four are the only fair basis for comparing firms, too. Two quotes mean nothing side by side unless both were built on the same measured volume and the same packing depth.
No price, rate card or transit time appears anywhere on this site, because none is knowable before a survey. Start on the quote form, or read the questions page.
That, both addresses, and whether the far end has a date yet. If it is a new build and the answer is no, say so — we book those differently.
