Margate · Thanet · CT9
House moves, man and van, and the London-to-coast move so many people make now — done properly across Margate, Cliftonville, Westbrook and the Thanet coast. A warm local crew who know the seafront lanes and quote it straight.
Local knowledge
Margate is a town on the up — an arty, lively seaside place people are moving to, not just around. Whichever way your move runs, knowing the seafront, the lanes and the road out is half the job.
Margate has changed. A lot of the moves we do now are people leaving the city for the coast — a Hackney flat to a Cliftonville conversion, a family swapping a London terrace for a seaside home. We run that London-to-Margate move end to end, so the long day is planned, not improvised.
The Old Town lanes are tight, the Georgian and Victorian seafront terraces are tall, and parking by the front is limited. We know where a van can actually sit, which loads need an early start, and how to get a wardrobe down a period staircase without a mark.
Cliftonville and the seafront are full of converted flats, mansion blocks and shared houses — communal stairs, shared front doors and permit bays. We plan the access before the day so a flat move is not a scramble on the morning.
Margate sits at the end of the line, but the A28 and the A299 (Thanet Way) run straight to the M2 and up towards London and the M20 for the Channel. It makes the cross-Thanet, up-to-town and into-Europe moves all workable from the coast.

Read more StorageClean, secure storage in and around Margate — a few boxes, a whole home, or the gap between a London move-out and a coast move-in — with a move-and-store option booked in one go.

Read moreWhere we work
The seafront, the Old Town, Cliftonville, Westbrook, Garlinge and round the coast towards Broadstairs and Ramsgate. Each corner moves a little differently — here is how we read them.
The heart of it — the Georgian and Victorian seafront terraces, the flats and guesthouses along the front, and the narrow Old Town lanes behind Turner Contemporary. Tight streets, seafront loading and limited parking mean an early start and a plan more often than not.
East along the front — grand Victorian terraces and mansion blocks, converted flats and HMOs, and the arty regeneration around Northdown Road. Loads of flat moves here, with communal stairs, shared entrances and permit parking to sort ahead.
West towards the bay — quieter residential streets of semis, bungalows and family terraces near the beach and the Royal Sea Bathing Hospital conversions. Wider roads and drives make an early load-out simpler than the seafront.
Inland to the west on the A28 — post-war semis, newer estates and family homes on the edge of town, with good road access towards the Thanet Way for the runs across the county and up to London.
The rest of the Thanet coast — a short run round to Broadstairs and Ramsgate, whether it is a cross-Thanet move or a stop on the way in or out. Covered as part of the wider Margate patch.
Wherever your two addresses are, send them over and we will confirm the run and a clear price — across Thanet or down from London.
