Kent Removals

Kent Removals and Storage

Kent Removals & Storage (often operating as Kent Relocation Services) is one of Australia's most well-known and largest family-owned moving and storage companies. Established in 1946, they have built a massive national footprint with over 500 employees and a network of branches across the country, including major hubs in Melbourne (their headquarters), Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Darwin, and Hobart.

They position themselves as a "tier-one" premium removalist, handling everything from standard residential moves to complex corporate relocations.

Here is a breakdown of the services they offer:

Core Moving Services

• Local Removals: Standard moving services within the same city or region, often with same-day delivery options.

• Interstate Removals: Long-haul moving across state lines using their nationwide fleet and custom-designed shipping containers to minimize double-handling.

• International Relocations: Overseas moving services that include managing shipping logistics, customs, and partnering with international agencies for delivery abroad.

• Corporate & Office Relocations: Dedicated services for businesses moving offices or relocating employees, which include assigned account managers and guaranteed service-level agreements.

Storage Solutions

Kent operates some of the largest storage facilities in the Southern Hemisphere, offering short-term and long-term options:

• Traditional & Container Storage: State-of-the-art, 24/7 monitored undercover facilities with four-level security and fire prevention systems.

• Mobile Storage: They can deliver a storage container to your home, which you can load (or have them load) and then they transport it back to their secure facility.

Additional & Ancillary Services

One of Kent’s main selling points is their "end-to-end" approach, offering a suite of extra services to make settling in easier:

• Packing and Unpacking: Full or partial packing services using their own specialized packing materials, as well as unpacking and setting up the new home.

• Vehicle & Pet Transport: Safe transportation for cars and pets to your new destination.

• Utility Connection: Coordinating the setup of electricity, gas, water, phone, and internet so it's ready on day one.

• Home Cleaning: Professional house cleaning for end-of-lease or pre-move-in.

• Handyman & Tech Setup: Services to patch up walls, mount TVs, set up home theaters, and get your Wi-Fi network running.

• Relocation Support: For big moves, they offer "Home Search" services to help you find a property, and Visa & Immigration support for international transitions.

• Moving Insurance: Comprehensive transit and storage insurance to protect your belongings.
