Local knowledge
Business deliveries from Strood
Is Medway City Estate covered from Strood?
Yes, and it’s the biggest business location on this side of the river: around 106 hectares on the Frindsbury Peninsula, developed since 1986 for light industrial, warehousing, distribution and office use. Its postal addresses read Rochester ME2, but you reach it from Strood and the A289. Parts of the peninsula are earmarked for housing in Medway Council’s draft Local Plan, so confirm the unit’s current occupier when you enquire.
Where else in Strood do we collect from?
On the riverside, Knights Park Industrial Estate and Temple Court sit on Knight Road around the medieval Temple Manor, with Temple Wharf further along the bank. North of town, the A228 leads to Kingsnorth Industrial Estate at Hoo, about five miles from M2 junction 1, for warehousing and heavier industry. Trade counters and retail parks line the A2 through the town. For pallets from Knight Road, tell us whether there’s a forklift on site.
How quickly will it reach London?
Strood is the westernmost of the Medway towns, which shortens London runs. Three routes meet here: the A2 west to Gravesend and the M25, the A289 to M2 junction 1 and the Medway Tunnel, and the A228 to M2 junction 2 at Cuxton. Outside peak hours, a van from Strood typically reaches M25 junction 2 in 15 to 25 minutes, central London in 50 to 80 minutes and Heathrow’s cargo area in 65 to 95 minutes.

Very close. Most Strood addresses are typically under ten minutes from M2 junction 1 via the A289, or junction 2 via the A228 at Cuxton, outside peak hours. Same Day Couriers Kent picks between them, or the A2 through to M25 junction 2, depending on your destination.
Yes. Same Day Couriers Kent collects from Kingsnorth Industrial Estate and across the Hoo Peninsula, about five miles along the A228 from M2 junction 1. For warehouse and industrial loads, tell us the weight and pallet count and we’ll send a vehicle with a tail-lift if you need one.
Typically 50 to 80 minutes outside peak hours, along the A2 through Dartford. Same Day Couriers Kent confirms the collection time with your quotation, and the driver sends live updates so your London recipient knows when to expect the delivery.
Yes, up to £100 as standard. Every Same Day Couriers Kent consignment includes that cover, but additional insurance isn’t automatically part of the quotation. If your goods are worth more than £100, tell us the approximate value when you enquire and we’ll confirm any extra cover and cost before you accept.
Why not a parcel network?
The Same Day Couriers Kent difference
Less handling on the way
For most same-day jobs, your consignment travels directly with the assigned driver. It is not normally taken to a depot, sorted or moved between vehicles.
The vehicle you actually need
We match the vehicle to your job, from a motorcycle for documents to a 7.5-tonne lorry with tail-lift for pallets, so you're not paying for spare capacity.
You know where it is
The driver keeps you updated while the job is running, and proof of delivery gives you the recipient's name and the time of handover.
Cover agreed before you book
Every consignment includes cover up to £100. Worth more? Tell us the value and, where extra insurance can be arranged, we confirm the cover and cost before you accept.
