Tight access moves in Chatham
Narrow side returns, basement stairs, raised decks — we have the spa skates and slings for the trickier Chatham properties.
Most spa damage happens in the first ten minutes of a move — a dragged shell, an unsupported lift, a corner caught on a doorframe. In Chatham we plan those ten minutes in advance. Photos, measurements, a route walk, the right dolly under the right corner. the streets, lanes and estates around Chatham are no surprise to us, and the spa arrives where it should, in the condition it left.
If a deck needs taking apart to get the spa out, that is part of the job — not an excuse to walk away. Boards come off cleanly, get numbered, and go back on once the spa is clear. Chatham customers expect the garden to look the same when we leave. That is the standard we work to.
Tell us the move — we reply by return.

FAQ · Chatham
The questions we hear most often from Chatham customers — access, parking, permits, weather, electrics, listed properties and pricing. If yours is not covered, drop it on the quote form and we will come back the same day.
Light rain is fine — the spa is wrapped and the route is covered. Storms, ice on the lift point or wind that makes a crane unsafe will get the job moved by a day or two. We would rather reschedule than risk the spa or the property in Chatham.
Most Chatham jobs are booked in within the same week. Where a completion date or removal deadline is tight, we can usually slot a priority crew in. Send your dates through the quote form and we will confirm by return.
Absolutely. New-spa delivery from dealers and showrooms into Chatham is one of the most common jobs we run. Send us the collection address and the drop, and we will quote both legs together.
Ideally yes, at the start and the end, so we can walk the route with you and sign the spa off in place. If you cannot be there, we can usually arrange access via a neighbour or agent — just flag it on the quote form.
We isolate and disconnect the spa for the move. For the reconnection at the new spot, a Part P qualified electrician needs to sign off the supply — if you do not have one, we can recommend a local sparks who works with us regularly.
Yes. Every part of Chatham and the outlying areas is covered. If your property is set back from the road, on a private lane or has restricted access, we will arrange a free site survey before quoting.
Yes. We remove, dismantle and dispose of unwanted hot tubs responsibly. If the spa still has life in it we will say so and try to rehome it rather than scrap it.
Often. If you are relaying a patio, replacing decking or re-landscaping a Chatham garden, we can lift the spa, set it aside, and reposition it once the work is done. Quoted as a single job.
A filled spa is heavy, but an empty one on rated dollies spreads the load across protective boards. We never pivot or skid a hot tub on bare patio — every contact point is padded, and we check the base it is going onto before we set it down.
Bank transfer or card on completion. No deposit is taken for a standard move; for crane-lift jobs in particular we will agree the schedule in writing before the date is locked in.
