Local knowledge
Business deliveries from Rochester
Where around Rochester do we collect from?
Rochester’s business cluster is on the high ground south of the city. Innovation Park Medway, part of the North Kent Enterprise Zone, is being developed at Rochester Airport for technology, engineering and advanced manufacturing firms. Rochester Airport Industrial Estate on Laker Road holds warehouse and trade units, and Innovation Centre Medway on Maidstone Road houses start-ups. Across the river, Medway City Estate carries Rochester ME2 addresses, and law firms in the historic centre send signed documents to London and the courts.
Which way will your part travel?
The airport estates sit on the B2097 Maidstone Road, roughly a mile and a half north of M2 junction 3. From there you have two motorways within minutes: the M2 towards the M25 and the Midlands, or the A229 south over Bluebell Hill to M20 junction 6 for Ashford, Folkestone and the Port of Dover. Outside peak hours, a van from Rochester typically reaches M25 junction 2 in 20 to 30 minutes, central London in 60 to 90 minutes and Heathrow’s cargo area in 70 to 100 minutes.
What if the part is valuable or one of a kind?
Tell us what it is and roughly what it’s worth when you enquire. Every consignment includes cover up to £100 as standard. For anything worth more, we confirm whether additional insurance can be arranged, the level of cover and any extra cost before you accept the booking. For most same-day jobs your item travels with one driver straight to the recipient, not through a depot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Same Day Couriers Kent collects from Innovation Park Medway and Rochester Airport Industrial Estate on Laker Road, both beside Rochester Airport. Include the building or unit number and a contact name in your enquiry, and tell us the size and weight so we send the right vehicle.
Yes. From M2 junction 3, the A229 runs south over Bluebell Hill to M20 junction 6. Same Day Couriers Kent uses that route for Rochester jobs heading to Ashford, Folkestone or the Port of Dover, so your consignment doesn’t backtrack through Medway or onto the M25.
Both, in a sense. Medway City Estate uses Rochester ME2 postal addresses but sits on the Frindsbury Peninsula on the Strood side of the river. Same Day Couriers Kent collects from it either way, so use the address on your paperwork when you enquire.
Every consignment with Same Day Couriers Kent includes cover up to £100 as standard. If your part is worth more, state its approximate value in your enquiry. Where additional insurance can be arranged, we confirm the cover and any extra cost before the booking is accepted.
Typically 70 to 100 minutes to Heathrow’s cargo area outside peak hours, via the M2, A2 and M25. Same Day Couriers Kent confirms the collection time with your quotation. Send the airline, handling agent or air waybill number so the driver goes to the right shed.
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.
