Why Choose Our Canterbury Removal Services?
When it comes to Canterbury removals, Bearsbys stands apart from other removal companies with over 35 years of proven experience moving Kent families and businesses.

Canterbury's Most Experienced Removal Team
Our professional removal team has been serving Canterbury and the wider Kent area since 1987.
We're not just another removal company: we're your Canterbury moving experts who know the area inside out. From the historic city centre to the surrounding villages, we navigate Canterbury's unique streets and access challenges with ease.
Moving in Canterbury — What You Need to Know
Canterbury has some of the most distinctive access challenges of any Kent city: the historic pedestrian zone on High Street and The Parade and St George's Street operates rising bollard restrictions between 10:30am and 4pm, so if your completion falls at midday, we plan accordingly, using Pound Lane or Station Road West and coordinating carefully with our team.
Castle Street's 1.95m height limit means we pre-check every route before move day. Our crews know Canterbury's one-way system, the university areas, the cathedral quarter's narrow approach roads, and the Whitefriars development well: we visit the city regularly, including ongoing removals work for Churchill Retirement Living in the city centre.
Our removal trucks are specifically equipped for Canterbury's narrow streets and varied property types. From Georgian townhouses to modern developments, we have the right vehicles and equipment to handle any Canterbury removal challenge.
Moving home is stressful enough without worrying about the organisation of the day and transporting your special and fragile items. You need a company with experience (like ours) that has been carrying out regular removals throughout the whole of Kent in neighbouring places like Whitstable and Herne Bay and also to the east down to much sought after areas of Thanet and throughout Europe.

Steps to Moving home in Canterbury
Step 1: Arrange A Survey
The price of a removal is dependent on a number of factors:
1. The size of vehicle
2. The number of staff required
3. Amount of packing needed
4. Amount of dismantling required
5. Access issues
6. The distance you are moving.
To calculate this volume, we carry out a visit via video where we can assess all the information required and the contents of your home.
It's easy to arrange an appointment over the phone or by email.
Step 2: Receive A Quotation
After the initial survey, our surveyors take away all of the information they have and produce a moving plan.
They take into account all of the factors in step 1 and produce a quote.
Your quotation is then emailed to you within twenty four hours.
Step 3: Accept A Removals Quotation
Once the quotation has been sent, an online account is automatically created where you can login in and accept the quote online within minutes.
To book in a removal we require
1. The signed acceptance form (which you can do online)
2. A 25% deposit.
Please note, a removal is not confirmed until you receive a letter of confirmation from us.
Step 4: The day of the move in Canterbury
Our team leave our offices at 8am sharp.
Most house removals will take a whole day to complete and our anticipated finish time is usually around 5:30/6.00pm but this is subject to what time the keys are available to your new property.
We advise having a chat with us beforehand and complete a removal plan as each move has different circumstances.
Our removals teams will bring all the necessary materials to carry out your removal.
Our Current Location
Our current location is central to the whole of Kent whether it us up the A249 to Sittingbourne or the A229 to Medway. We can now get to most corners of the county within 40 minutes of leaving our office and our proximity to the M20 allows us to be down in Dover and onto the continent in a matter of hours.
Our depot in Aylesford puts us on the M20 corridor, meaning our Canterbury removal teams are with you within 35–40 minutes of leaving base. We're on the road before 8am. We run regular removals throughout Canterbury, including ongoing work for Churchill Retirement Living in the city centre — so our crews know the cathedral quarter's access points, the pedestrian zone timing, and the best approach routes for every part of the city.
