House Movers: Why use a BAR Member for your move? – by The BAR

28th November 2018 by Cara Small

For more than 100 years the British Association of Removers has been providing membership to suitable removal companies in the UK so that the industry has a voice, and is continually improved and regulated to meet the changing needs of the consumer.

More importantly, people that use our Members for removals or storage do so in the knowledge that they can expect complete transparency in all their dealings with the Member and will receive a high level of service throughout.

Where Members take money in advance of the move – which is standard industry practice – you are protected by BAR’s Advanced Payment Guarantee. In the rare event that your mover experiences financial difficulties and is unable to carry out your move, that advanced payment will be protected by BAR. For further peace of mind should a dispute arise with the mover there is a defined procedure in place to rectify the situation, through our FREE and independent Dispute Resolution Service.

History of Andrews of Kent

14th November 2018 by Andy Small

Micro Removals was established in 1979 by two fireman who carried out removals during their downtime from their fire brigade roles. The name “Micro” was a combination of their names and they operated one 7.5T lorry covering local moves within the Thanet area.

Our dad, Allan, bought the company off them with his friend John in 1989, and they continued the one lorry one move theme for several years. The business was run from the family home kitchen and we parked the lorry outside a local pub nearby.

By 1999 they were running 2 lorries and employed a couple of porters, going further afield within Kent and occasionally long distance. Allan’s son Andy had been on his world travels having been a qualified chef for the past few years. On his return he decided to buy into the company as John wanted to move onto pastures new. Allan & Andy Small became business partners, and the family business was born.

Seventeen years ago we also formed Andrews of Kent Removals & Storage to run alongside Micro, and due to its success we rebranded all our Micro vehicles over to the Andrews of Kent livery. Allan’s daughter Cara joined the family gang in 2004 to take over the office and administration side of the business.

We have since gone on to increase the company profile, moving into larger warehouses with our own storage facilities. We now run 5 vehicles and employ around 10 staff, offering more varied services including moves all over the UK, Europe and deep sea destinations such as USA, Australia, Canada & New Zealand. Having joined the B.A.R we were awarded finalists of the British Association of Removers – Mover of The Year on 3 occasions. We are now members of Which? Endorsed Trusted Trader Recommendations, and part of the Trading Standards UK -Trusted Mover.

Our motto is “Satisfied Customer’s Are Our Future” and this has definitely been the case over the years which has helped us to succeed, advance and excel within in the removals industry.

What makes Whitstable town a desirable place to live?

12th November 2018 by Andy Small

Why is this seaside town on the north coast of Kent in the southeast of England so high on the list of desirable places to live?

Why Whitstable?

Is it the beautiful beaches where you can still enjoy a walk along the promenade with a plate of locally sourced cockles? Maybe having a direct high-speed train service to the heart of London? Whitstable, like many old English seaside towns like Ramsgate and Deal, boosts tradition and it’s a town that is worth the 40-minute daily commute if you work in the city and well worth checking out if you are considering a slower pace of living in your later years.

Andrews of Kent has made 120 moves to Whitstable so far in 2018. Whitstable is a friendly town with many small independent shops, nice to get away from those- designer chain-stores.  There are many pleasant coffee shops, traditional pubs and even a playhouse theatre where you can see locally staged shows.

For more tourist information and to find out more about what Whitstable has to offer, visit the Visit Canterbury website.

We are here to make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible and as our motto says “satisfied customers are our future”.

Please contact us for further information.

Brexit and European Moves

29th October 2018 by Andy Small

All of Britain’s removals companies rely on free movement across Europe to make European moves as smooth as possible. This may become more difficult after Brexit. There certainly will be more paperwork involved and additional border checks, but at Andrews of Kent, we have been keeping a close eye on things regarding European moves after Britain leaves the EU and we do not predict any unexpected hassle for our customers.

If you have any concerns regarding a planned move to Europe and would like to speak to one of our specialists, please call on 01843 807935.

Living in Folkestone

13th October 2018 by Andy Small

Folkestone is a port town Kent coast. Although the area is home to many tourist attractions like the National Memorial to the Few, Kent Battle of Britain Museum and the Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, it is also a pleasant town to relocate to. With easy access to Euro via the Channel Tunnel the town (often referred to as a small city) is becoming a destination worth considering.

Of course Folkestone has a history for its vital role in World War 2 and was also an important harbour and shipping port for most of the 19th and 20th centuries and this is an attraction for thousands of visitors, especially in early November for Remembrance Week, but Folkestone covers a large land area and many of the smaller surrounding villages are not known to tourists. Sandgate to St Mary’s Bay has some of the most beautiful beaches you’ll find in the south-east.

Andrew's removal arrived well before time. They were very careful with my furniture that was been put into storage, I would recommend this company and would certainly use them again if needed.

We needed a 3 day move which would have been a nightmare if the Andrews team had not been so professional, friendly and so hard working. We will certainly use them again and highly recommended Andrews.
