Senior Moving Service in Kent
Specialist retirement moves across Kent – from North Kent to Sevenoaks, Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells and the coast.
Kent is one of our most active counties for senior moves. We cross the Dartford Crossing regularly and cover the full breadth of the county – from the North Kent towns of Gravesend, Dartford and Swanley through to Sevenoaks, Maidstone, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and the coastal areas around Faversham, Whitstable and Herne Bay.
Whether you are helping a parent leave a Kent family home or planning your own move into retirement living, Trunk provides the same complete managed service we deliver across Essex and London. One named move manager, in-house team with no subcontractors, own storage, and a fixed price after a free home visit.

Senior removals across Kent - North Kent, the Weald and the coast
Kent has a well-established and growing retirement living market. McCarthy Stone has multiple developments across the county including Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Maidstone and Whitstable. Churchill Retirement Living operates in Faversham, Herne Bay and several Kent towns. Retirement Villages Group and Inspired Villages both have significant Kent-area developments. Along the North Kent coast, established sheltered housing communities in Whitstable and Herne Bay attract residents from across the county and from London.
Many of our Kent clients are moving from larger properties in the Weald – four and five bedroom houses in the countryside between Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Maidstone – into town-centre retirement apartments. The logistics of accessing rural Kent properties with large vehicles, combined with the emotional weight of leaving a home of many decades, makes specialist handling genuinely important.
We also manage a meaningful number of Kent-to-Essex and Kent-to-London moves – parents relocating to be closer to adult children. We cover all these cross-county routes and include storage in the package if the timing does not align perfectly.

Why Kent families choose Trunk for a senior move
Every senior move is different. Here is what makes Trunk the right choice for families in Kent.
Regular Kent presence – not an occasional service
We cross into Kent multiple times each week. This is not a stretch territory – it is a core part of our regular operation, which means genuine availability and competitive pricing.
Experienced with rural Kent property access
Many Kent senior moves start from rural properties – farms, villages, country lanes. We plan vehicle access at the home visit stage and are used to the practical challenges this brings.
Named move manager throughout
One person manages your move from home visit to final item placed. For families coordinating across Kent’s wide geography, this single point of contact is invaluable.
Storage for Kent-to-Essex and cross-county moves
If the timing between leaving the Kent property and moving in does not align, our Essex storage bridges the gap. Included in the Managed Move and Complete Transition packages.

Senior Moving Kent Service - Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover coastal and rural parts of Kent?
Yes – including Whitstable, Herne Bay, Faversham, the Weald villages and rural areas between Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Maidstone. If you are unsure about your specific location call us on 0330 998 8282 and we will confirm.
Can someone from Kent into Essex or London?
Yes, we do this regularly – particularly for parents moving closer to adult children. We cover all cross-county routes and include storage in the package if there is a timing gap between the two dates.
Do you know the retirement developments in Kent?
We move into Kent retirement properties regularly and are familiar with the access, parking and move-in booking requirements of the major operators including McCarthy Stone, Churchill and Retirement Villages Group. We liaise directly with the development site team before every move.
What if my parent's property has difficult access - narrow lane or no parking?
We plan for this at the home visit stage. For properties with access challenges we discuss options including shuttle runs, smaller vehicle combinations or alternative parking arrangements. Nothing surprises us on the day.
