Gravesend Furniture Dismantling & Reassembly

Gravesend Furniture dismantling & reassembly 

Large furniture needs to be dismantled if it’s too big to go down the stairs or through doorways. If you feel competent to do this yourself we’re happy with that, but if not, we’ll quote to do this for you.

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 Gravesend for 20 years - so if it needs doing, don’t worry, we’ll do it professionally!

Gravesend Furniture (Export) wrapping

Gravesend Furniture (Export) wrapping

Furniture can be protected with a specially designed bubble wrap. This has a tough outer layer, a small bubble and also a tissue inner layer for delicate surfaces. Proprietary names for this wrapping material include “bubble blanket”, “furniguard” and “furnisoft”.

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 Gravesend 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.
Gravesend

Storage for our Gravesend Removal customers

We offer long term and short term secure storage to meet your requirements and ensure the safety of your possessions. We've been storing for removals customers from Gravesend since 2002. Please get in touch if you have any questions about storing your belongings.

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.

I wanted a stress free move and a recently moved neighbour recommended Philip Marks to me. From the initial quote to the personal attention to detail I was really impressed. On the day the weather was terrible on the drive down but Jonathan the driver did a great job and arrived on time. He even carried the heavy bed frame upstairs for me. I would absolutely recommend this terrific removal company to you.

We just want to say a huge thank you to Phillip, his son and the team for their efficient friendly service to make what could have been a stressful move as unstressful as possible. It started when Phillip arrived to pack up all our possessions. He packed everything with care and consideration, discussing what needed to go from each room and labelling in detail. The following day the team arrived and in a blink of an eye the boxes had gone. Care was taken with all the larger pieces, wrapping the seatee and armchair to protect it. Unloading was just as efficient, with furniture and boxes put in the right rooms and moving around if we changed our mind. I would highly recommend Phillip Marks Removals to anyone wanting to move - I would definitely use them again. They are professional, friendly and super efficient.

Amazing service from start to finish! Due diligence required as its been a while since i moved, three removals companies quoted and difference in pricing was staggering as were the individual services offered. After speaking to each company about the quote it was obvious Philip Marks were the company to chose. The survey, quote, subsequent phone calls and emails were always dealt with in a professional manner answered quickly and efficiently, all of my queries were dealt with promptly. Move day, it was a large move so was booked over two days, day one, we were extremely impressed by the professional and courteous team who worked tirelessly to ensure 90% was loaded on day one. Day two, the same professional attitude the house was cleared within a few hours and they made their way to the new house leaving us contact them when we had keys. Unload was quick, efficient and smooth. Even helped us to move a few things into the house we have purchased. Everyone was so helpful and pleasant and no damages, it was a truly refreshing experience. I really cannot imagine why you would choose another removals company, an absolutely outstanding service!

For our move we, like others shopped around for quotations but our quote from Philip Marks covered everything that we needed for a great price. Over two days we were packed up and moved to our new home, day one we had two gentlemen come by to pack up all of our belongings apart from needed toiletries, they were very thorough and made sure our things were stored safely. We had a laugh or two along the way. Day two consisted of the move where they dismantled our big items like bed and filled their vehicle and moved it to our new home where they put the bed back together again, they even buy back the boxes that they used for the move. I have nothing but good things to say about Philip Marks Removals and would recommend them and their services every time.

We were dreading this move, but we needn't have worried. Everything went so smoothly. Our move from Headcorn to Weymouth, Dorset, meant that the job needed two days. Owain and Adam loaded the lorry up in the morning, and great care was taken with everything. They then had a long journey due to Friday traffic down to Weymouth. But they were at the house, first thing in the morning to unload. They were professional to the end. A big thanks to Philip and Sally for the organising the whole process, it really couldn't have been better.

Philip Marks Removals (Kent) are brilliant, I seriously cannot fault them. From speaking to Sally to discuss my move and her answering all my questions and being very supportive. Then spring forward to actual moving day with Steve and Sam, they were amazing and didn’t complain when faced with the unique location I was moving from. They were very respectful of my belongings and made it look effortless. I will definitely use this company again.

I would highly recommend them as the team is proficient, reliable and punctual. I met Phil in 2022 who visited me to quote me for packaging and moving out/in. Boxes were delivered on time and arranging the move out was straightforward. My stuff went into a storage space, which Sally/Phil arranged without any troubles. Moving into the new place was trouble free as well, and team (Sam, etc.) worked really hard and were very careful. During this stressful day, the team made it so easy! Communication with Sally & Phil was always professional and timely. Honestly, you will not be let down by Phil/team; 100% outstanding services. Thank you all for everything and I am wishing you good luck, and all the best for the future.

Gravesend Relocation Guide

Moving to Gravesend and don’t know the area? Hopefully this guide will help. The town of Gravesend was recorded in the doomsday book as “Gravesham” and in 1974 the Borough of Gravesham was formed, their website covers parking, rubbish collection and much more. For larger items of waste RS Skips are nearby.

Gravesend Schools

Kent County Council is the place to get information about local schools. KentLive.news ran an article in January 2018 listing Ofsted reports for local primary schools. As well as Cobham Hall independent school for girls, Gravesend boasts two Grammar schools which compare favourably amongst the town’s secondary schools as shown in the government’s school comparison website.

Gravesend Property

Rightmove, quoting the land registry, say that Gravesend house prices went up 9% to an average of £285,000. After talking to various Gravesend Removals customers we think that further rises are due so long as Great Britain moves away from political uncertainty. Local estate agents, Robinson JacksonWards and also M&M’s will be a greater authority on this, if they disagree please let us know!
