Kent Packing Services
Thorough professional packing not only safeguards your treasured possessions but also relieves so much stress from moving day. Things go much more smoothly when all your smaller items are packed into regular sized, high quality twin walled cartons.
We're very proud of our packing services. Please ask about options - Full Packing, Fragile Packing or just packing of specific items. Our conscientious team will make light work of your packing with skill and experience.
If you want to pack yourself we'll deliver our quality packing materials - this is all part of the service if you're in Kent.

Kent Furniture Dismantling & Reassembly
Most commonly wardrobes, beds, cots and desks require dismantling. Often we remove legs from dining tables and feet from sofas without charge. We can give you a price per item included in your formal removals quotation.
As with all our services we’re familiar with dismantling & reassembling furniture and our experience goes back to 2002. We only dismantle if we think it’s the best option and over the years we’ve learned how to overcome small problems which sometimes arise.
Occasionally customers want to avoid dismantling, worried that the furniture will not be reassembled properly. We’ve been building flatpack furniture in Kent for 20 years - so if it needs doing, don’t worry, we’ll do it professionally!

Kent Furniture (Export) wrapping
Removal companies call this “export wrapping” because it’s primarily used as an extra protection for furniture which is being shipped internationally and will be multi-handled, in different countries, between collection and delivery.
We also offer this service to Kent removal customers who are moving their furniture into self-store. We can wrap on collection and unwrap on delivery when you come out of self store. Furniture can be stacked up in a self store unit with protection from bumps and scrapes.
We don’t do this for direct, local removals as we protect furniture on our lorry with transit blankets whilst on board.

Storage for our Kent Removal customers
We use traditional removals warehouse containers to store your belongings. They are an industry standard 5' by 7' by 7.5' tall - this is equivalent to a 35 square foot room in a self store centre. We think we're better value than self store, especially over the medium and long term. You can rent these for £16.80/week all inclusive. This includes indemnity insurance for goods in storage.

A Family Removal Company serving Kent

From early beginnings in 2002 we have gained the respect and earned goodwill among hundreds of clients ”on the move” locally in Kent and countrywide.
Our chief aim is to accomplish a stress-free removals day with our professional team taking the strain of an otherwise difficult operation of “moving house”. And we pride ourselves on taking the greatest of care of valuable and treasured property.
Whether you are relocating around Kent or moving farther afield, we are happy to give you first-rate advice and on-the-spot competitive quotations relating to distance and possessions.
Removal Reviews from Kent and Beyond!
After moving on the hottest day of the year The removal guys from Philip Marks did a fantastic job in sweltering conditions,very professional from start to finish ,Thank-you very much Neil & Sue Scott
Owen and the team were great, I’d really recommend them. Careful, polite and generally great service, thank you
Philip Marks helped us move yesterday and we had such a great experience with them. Our move was really last minute, so we really appreciated how quickly we were accommodated by the team, and how helpful everyone was on the day. We really felt like everyone was making sure our things were handled carefully and packed well. We ended up having a tricky situation with some furniture, but they were so professional about it and went the extra mile to help us try to resolve it. Thanks so much ☺️
It was a complex series of moves - into storage, then some out of storage into temporary accommodation, then out of storage into permanent residence, finally from temporary to permanent residence. All of it, from initial contact and advice through quotation to the actual moves carried out impeccably. I'd heartily recommend Philip, Owain and the team.
We were very happy with the whole removal process. Quick, straightforward and efficient. Seamless delivery of furniture to Wales. Owain was great - very helpful and friendly.
Absolutely Fantastic Service . Philip visited to ascertain the move he was very professional and helpful. Everyone i spoke to in the office were as helpful. On the day of the move Owen and Jack were professional and reliable I could not have asked for more . The stress of moving 400 miles was limited by the overall service. I highly recommend the service of this company and team . Thankyou so much !!
We used Phillip Marks Removals for our house move yesterday and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the team were professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient. Moving can be quite stressful, but they made the whole process feel smooth and well organised. They handled all of our belongings with great care and worked really hard throughout the day without any fuss. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they were always polite and reassuring, which made a big difference. Everything was moved safely and in good time, and they helped take a lot of the pressure off what is usually a hectic day. I would definitely recommend Phillip Marks Removals to anyone looking for a reliable and hardworking team. Thank you again for making our move so much easier!
The team were outstanding from start to finish. Professional, highly efficient, and clearly experienced, they made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. Every aspect of the move was handled with care and precision, and their positive attitude made a real difference on the day. I would highly recommend their services — a first-class experience throughout.
What a complete pleasure to deal with. We used this company today to move the contents of our scout group. Three guys arrived and they were amazing. Nothing was to much trouble, they even helped with stuff that they didn't have to. They were really careful with all the stuff they were loading. Being polite, friendly and good humoured. I would not hesitate to recommend these guys to anyone.
The two men helping my daughter move were very helpful, friendly and efficient. They arrived on time and nothing was too much trouble. Everything went so.well and we very much appreciate their hard work.
Fantastic service from the very first call to the removal team pulling away in empty vehicles having facilitated our very own Escape to the Country. Having received the most detailed and informative flyer from Philip Marks we invited them to quote for our move. Philip visited a couple of days later and was very helpful when assessing our worldly belongings pointing out potential difficulties for moving some of the furniture we had amassed and ensuring he had allowed for everything we wanted included and explaining how he proposed to plan the move over three days. His quote arrived a few days later and whilst not the cheapest (nor the most expensive!) we had the feeling that Philip Marks were the right company for us. In the coming months with the delights of an evolving property chain the office team were always very supportive and encouraging when we called to say that there had been another delay and dates were moving backwards. When we finally had confidence that our move was actually going to happen we took advantage of the opportunity to buy boxes, tape, etc. from Philip Marks knowing that we could return the boxes after the move and began the process of packing. With first the deposit on exchange to secure the removal slot and then the balance paid it was a great sight to see the removal lorry appear in our Close. The 4 man team packing were absolutely 1st class, friendly, understanding, helpful and extremely hard working. It was an amazing sight to see our belongings gradually being packed into the lorry and an enormous relief when they all fitted…. The team had assured us they would but it still seemed unlikely to begin with! At the end of the first day we were left with the bits we needed overnight and the team returned on completion day to pack the last items and we all headed west at various times to assemble at our new home. Keys were finally secured very late in the day but the 3 man team on hand to unload worked until early evening to get as much unloaded as we needed before they headed off to find digs for the night returning the following morning still happy and smiling despite yet more unpacking and then a long drive back home. With everything unpacked and several checks that we were happy with everything, it was time to say thanks and wave the team goodbye. Breakages… the Philip Marks team handled everything with such care that nothing was damaged, broken or went missing during the move other than the dog food bin that I managed to smash and a glass we dropped unpacking. We have the boxes mostly unpacked and ready to return on a trip back to Kent very shortly and can’t wait to say a personal thank you to the back office team who are only ever heard not seen but helped manage the whole process and ensure our move was as relaxed and stress free as possible. So in our experience, like so many others, we feel the service provided by the whole team at Philip Marks Removals is second to none and we have no hesitation in recommending them.
An efficient professional team who removed the stress of what could have been a challenging house removal. Nothing was too much trouble and the operation was completed with no problems whatsoever. I highly recommend this company.
Could not be more happy with Philip Mark’s removals highly recommended from us. They moved us With relative ease, the team of Owain, Adam And Jack were absolutely outstanding. They worked like Trojans all day and make sure to check that everything was okay at the end before they left really great family run team highly recommended.
Great service, very courteous team and made the whole moving process smooth. Thanks :)
Thank you to all the team at Philip Marks Removals, excellent service all round. We had to change our move date & Sally & Kyle in the office were extremely helpful. The guys that moved us (Owen, Adam & Amil) were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. They worked so hard & had an extremely long day as they moved us from Kent to Worcestershire. They were polite & courteous at all times. This is the third time we have used Philip Marks Removals & we highly recommend them, they are professional & their prices are very competitive.
Really helpful. They were very flexible and give us an excellent service. I highly recommend them.
I used this company to move 11 years ago they were so good and reasonably priced . I have a lot of unusual furniture and I have had them back twice to help move some awkward items and I will never use anyone else. 100% recommend ❤️
Excellent service from start to finish, from initial visit to assess our needs, communication from the office team beforehand and professional friendly and efficient service on the day. The removal team were so helpful and reassuring on a stressful day, they made us laugh and ensured we were happy with each step, I would recommend to anyone moving house, Thanks team!
A pleasure to deal with from start to finish. The guys were just brilliant. Well natured, polite, respectful, careful, confident, and cheerful. Ours was a large job and on the day, Owain led his team superbly. Don’t mess around, just use Philip Marks Removals.
Thank you for moving my brother on Tuesday. The whole process was straightforward from Philip visiting to quote and dealing with Sally and Kyle in the office. The guys, Sam and Paul arrived dead on time and were very helpful and efficient. It all went very smoothly and I’d recommend Philip Marks to anyone considering moving house
I've used Philip Marks Removals twice now and both times have been amazing. The staff are incredibly professional and took great care to ensure our move went smoothly. They are also very competitive on price. Huge thanks to the Philip Marks team as you made our moving day stress free.
We were so impressed with Philip Marks and the guys who moved us - they worked incredibly hard all day and had to navigate a top floor flat with no lift. There were no breakages and everything arrived in one piece - I would highly recommend this company and an excellent price too.
Guys were very helpful and dealt with difficult conditions at the new property very well
Moving house is a stressful expereience. Phillip and his team took great care of us and our belongings and took a great deal of stress out of the process. They arrived the day before to pack the the breakables - they got on with the job very efficiently and completed the packing on time. Also a very friendly bunch. Next day a new team arrived and loaded the lorries and left at midday. Arrived at the new house on time and by the end of the day all 60 boxes were unloaded, along with all the furniture in its right place. All the boxes have since been unpacked, not a single breakage or any damage, not even a scracth, to the furniture. Again a friendly bunch of hard workers. All credit to the two teams for a professional and friendly service. Really can't speak highly enough of how they took a lot of the stress out of the whole process. Thanks again!
From the first phone call, through to our move, our experience of working with the Philip Marks team was seamless. We had a challenging lead up to completion, which meant we had to change moving dates quite a few times. Philip Marks team were supportive and really understanding. On the day of the move, the removal team were amazing and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend this removal company if you want a stress free move.
Well, what can I say. House move exchanged and completion date agreed. Removal company I had found said sorry, can’t do now so had to find alternative to move my elderly Mother. So 3 days before Christmas, called Phillip Marks. They came out same day to look around, quoted first thing following day and booked in when I paid deposit. All before they closed for Xmas. Had packing included in moving, and 3 guys turned up, Sam, Emile and Adam. Nothin was too much and they were so nice, reassuring us all was going ok. Made the whole experience much better with friendly banter and support. Another 3 guys came following day to load lorry. Again, nice hard working and friendly. On moving day, awful weather and they again reassured us all going ok. 6 guys in total to unload us at the end. Cheerful and supported through all of it, making the move so much better than we had anticipated. Were a really good bunch of lads, that made it a day filled with lots of fun memories amongst the sadness of moving after my Mother lost my Dad. New start for her in a new community and nice memories from a day we were not looking forward to. The banter between Sam and Emile reminded Mum of my boys, her grandsons, and they really made the whole experience better. Thanks to all the guys , from start to finish and in the office too. Was a pleasure.
Found everyone to be quick, considerate, very good at dismantling wardrobe, bed, dishwasher and washing machine, as well as helpful at installation and rebuilding and friendly
Excellent service from start to finish. The people who moved us were cordial and really helpful. Would have no hesitation in recommending Philip Marks Removals and using them again.
I recently used Philip Marks Removals for our house move and couldn't be happier with the service. From the start, they stood out by offering an in-person survey to provide an accurate quote, while other companies only offered video calls. This attention to detail gave me confidence in their professionalism right away. The three-day moving service worked perfectly for our needs, taking the stress out of what could have been an overwhelming process. The moving team themselves were exceptional - helpful, professional, and impressively efficient. They handled everything with care and worked at a great pace without ever seeming rushed or careless. I would highly recommend Philip Marks Removals to anyone looking for a reliable, professional removal company. They made our move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Brilliant removals team. I can't thank Philip Marks removals enough for their professionalism when moving me recently. It was also nice to have a bit of a laugh with the guys. Highly recommended and the price was very reasonable in comparison with some other quotes that I had.
From packing to unloading, a very professional and friendly team. When our completion was delayed, they drafted in more help, and nothing was too much trouble. Will certainly recommend to friends.
Phillip Marks moved our office recently and i can honestly say the service was exceptional and cost very reasonable. They were efficient, careful and helpful throughout the entire process. Highly reccommend them without any hesitation !
We used Philip Marks Removals (Kent) to move us from Medway Kent to Dundee Scotland. Sam arrived on time and immediately put us at ease with his friendly and professional manner. He went about loading the van methodically ensuring everything was secure and was fully loaded and ready to go in no time at all. Before leaving he double checked our contact details and new address, he ensured that we had his mobile number. Also, we agreed what time we would be at the new property for him to deliver our worldly goods. The next day he arrived as expected and once again with the same friendly disposition he worked like a trojan in the pouring rain (welcome to Scotland!) until all of our possessions were safely placed within our property. We would have no hesitation in recommending this company for all your removal needs, they made what can be a very stressful experience a much more relaxed and pleasant one. Sam is an asset to the company and deserves the praise given.
Very pleased with the service we received from start to finish. They were very helpful polite and patient when moving my elderly Mum from her house of 45 years to a bungalow. I would look no further than these guys when looking for a removals company.
Thanks for a brilliantly efficient service……. Helped me move a large shopfront, and very happy with whole process. Thanks guys
The booking and moving process was easy and smooth, start to finish. All staff that I interacted with, whether in office or on site, were friendly and professional and made the ordeal of moving all the more bearable. Good value for what you get - I had the full packing service along with the standard move, and all of my belongings and the property were taken well care of. Would recommend!
Delighted with the service provided by your removals. Seamless packing and removal service by the friendly and helpful team. They couldn’t do enough to help my move go as smooth as possible. Thanks to Sally for patience with the various date and type of move changes over the past few months.
Fairly small job - moving from a 1-bed property - but done quickly and cheerfully. Guys were very careful with our possessions. Very pleased and would certainly use for future moves.
What a great team, the advice and support has been excellent, my out of area move couldn't have been better. Huge thanks to everyone, I would certainly recommend you.
We used Philip Marks Removals to move house and they were brilliant from start to finish. The guys were really professional, polite, and handled everything with care. They made the whole process so much easier and nothing was too much trouble. Great service, great value for money, and genuinely nice people to deal with. Would definitely use them again and recommend to anyone moving home.
Excellent company. Arrived promptly for collection and loaded everything onto the van very professionally, thoughtfully and carefully. Everything arrived safe and sound including valuable and fragile items. Could not have been happier with the service and at a very reasonable price.
I cannot promote and recommend Philip Marks Removals enough to cover all your removal needs. The initial survey was very warm, and my anxieties of the whole moving process were taken on board, and Philip designed a bespoke removals package that completely laid those anxieties to rest. On the days of the actual removal process the removal teams worked tirelessly, with care, compassion and curtesy to make the stressful process go without a hitch. Even when things went slightly wrong with the legal dealings on the move, as they often do, the team remained calm and accommodating, finishing the job very late in the day without any signs of frustration and annoyance. Thank you so much Philip Marks Removals for a great job, well executed!
The guys were really friendly and worked really hard. We have a 2 year old and the team were really careful around him, they talked to him and reassured him that all his toys were safe, and even got biscuits from the local bakery for the kids. All our stuff is in the new place in the rooms we wanted it in, easy. We are returning customers and we would use them again in the future.
These guys were brilliant. Great communication, clear and competetive quote. Arrived early on move day and didn't stop. Absolute Trojans. Nothing was too much trouble. They were polite and helpful the whole time. Even when our hot tub challenged them to the max they powered through and got the job done. Highly recommend them .
Very easy to deal with from first phone call. Kind & considerate team. Would highly recommend.
We used Philip Marks Removals for our move from house to storage and then into our new home. The whole experience was brilliant – the team were super friendly, careful with all our furniture and belongings, respectful and made everything feel really easy. The process was seamless from start to finish, and the price was very reasonable too. Would definitely recommend them if you want a stress-free move.
Owain, Spencer and Adam did an amazing job for our recent move from Kent to Essex. We cannot thank them enough or fault them at all! They cracked on, worked hard and were with us until very late with a long drive home. The packing service the day before was also invaluable. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them, thank you!
Really good team led by Owen and nothing was too much trouble with us moving from Kent to Somerset over 2 days with around 50-60 plants in pots as well as the expected house full of furniture. Unloading day weather was not the best for them on day two with just Owen and Adam unloading in just over 4 hours and everything was fine. Would highly recommend this caring company.
Owen and the team were brilliant moving all our furniture from Kent to Suffolk, Owen was fantastic at packing all sorts of shapes and sizes into our storage unit making sure it all fitted in perfectly. They worked so hard and were very professional. Would def recommend them.
Cannot rate this company highly enough. They arrived on time and were so very helpful and friendly. They took great care of all my belongings and made sure everything was how I wanted it. I would definitely recommend and use them again.
