Why Bournes?
Experience
Established in 1875 we've got many years of experience in handling your move with expertise and care.
There aren't many move situations we've not come across before, from access problems and specialist items to home sale chains collapsing and burst pipes - we have built the expertise and resources to help you overcome whatever challenges your move day might throw at you!
Accreditation
Feel secure knowing we have been pre-vetted by the British Association of Removers:
- Annual quality standards inspection
- Trading Standards Approved
- Payment Guarantee Scheme
- Free Independent Ombudsman for dispute resolution in case anything goes wrong
Personal Touch
As a family-run company you'll have a personalised and attentive service.
We customise our service and move plans to your individual needs, whether that's help with packing, temporary storage or simply making sure the beds are unloaded first. We tailor the right resources to ensure everything happens just how you want it to.
Fixed, Transparent Pricing
Our fixed quote means no hidden fees, giving you confidence and clarity in your moving costs.
We'll include everything in your quote and highlight where a cost is optional so you can choose the services to suit your individual needs and budget.
Dedicated Move Manager
Your own dedicated move manager will support you through your move, every step of the way.
From arranging your move dates and advising on packing to handling any last-minute changes - they are there to make sure everything runs smoothly for you.
Comprehensive Insurance
Packing, loading and transport is a physical service, provided by humans, with a range of risks involved. Whilst we do everything in our power to avoid damage (like extensive training and the best packing materials) our comprehensive transit insurance options provide you financial peace of mind should the unexpected happen.
Security Vetted, Professionally Trained Crew
Are you worried about having strangers in your home? We get it, moving is very personal. That's why all our staff must provide character references as well as DBS background security checks before they join the company.
Our crews undergo full professional training in the technical skills to pack, load and transport items safely as well as soft skills like customer service to help make sure your move is a great experience.
Custom Built Vehicles
Our fleet of removals vehicles range from small 3.5 Ton packing vans right up to Road Trains. This means whatever the size of your move, or access to your property, we have the right size vehicle to help.
Our vehicles are custom-designed to make moving as safe and easy as possible (including ramps, air ride suspension, tail lifts and rails to secure items in transit).
What's more our fleet is maintained at our own workshop minimising the risk of breakdown and maximising safety.
Step 1 - Pre-move Survey

Step 2 - Your Quote
We'll send you our free, no obligation quote setting our our charges and your customised move plan.

Moving Tunbridge Wells since the 1800s
Bournes has been providing local removals and storage services in Kent and Sussex since 1875 and have had a home in Tunbridge Wells since 1978. In fact, we've been operating locally since before then as Bourne family bought J.Martin and Sons (Martins) taking over the business that had been operating in London Road and Draper Street Southborough since the late 1800's.
Today Bournes operates from its new home at North Farm, having grown the numbers of teams and vehicles available to help customers move house in the local area. We are still proud to be a family run company with a passion for providing a professional removals service and a happy moving house experience.
We're proud of the reputation we've achieved for quality of service which has led us to becoming a certified member of the British Association of Removers.
Local Expertise
Tunbridge Wells is a beautiful town with fantastic architecture and a wide range of property shapes, sizes, ages and access. We know some properties in Tunbridge Wells and the local area can be challenging to move into and out of, whether that's being able to get a vehicle parked close to your front door, protecting buildings that have stood for hundreds of years or being able to get large furniture out of tight spaces. We have many years of experience in handling removals in Tunbridge Wells and extensive local knowledge (most of our employees live locally). This means we can proactively plan any solutions to problems or concerns regarding your individual move to make sure everything runs smoothly
