The Worse removal company.

The Worse removal company we used.
We searched online want to find the a removal company with packing services. 15 Large boxes including packing services for £250. No time limited, no hiding fee in contract. However the driver can't park in the correct position, has to moving stuff go through the sky garden. We help them packing and moving together. Went to new home waiting for extra 2 hours. When they arrival, they add price to £400 for 6 extra boxes! We are willing to pay £100 more, but they insist £150. During we discussed the price whether reasonable or not, refuse to off our stuff from their van. We called their company, the company stuff ask us to pay the amount they need. That's too ridiculous. It is a cheater.

Service cost: £400

Avoid this company at all cost.

One of the worst and most stressful experiences of my life to date! Company quoted me £270 to move the contents of a 2 bedroom house. Closer to the date they asked me to provide a list of items to be moved and I listed the biggest/main pieces. Removal team turned up 3 hours late then refused to move anything NOT on the list I.e. rugs, pictures, duffel bags, lamps, small boxes, crates etc. The team took several breaks including one to break their fast. They were rude, agressive and insisted I pay them under the table to move anything not on the list. At some point told me their van was full so they couldn't move some of the things on the list either. They then moved the van load onto the ground floor of the next property and left it all disassembled. I had to call a friend over to look after my baby and another to help my move the remaining items by car myself over several trips until 4am.
Never ever again! Be warned! Avoid at all costs! .

Service cost: £270

Great team.

Team worked realy hard from start to finish. They completed our large move in 2 days. Price was good. They were not the cheapest but we was happy with the service provided. We paid the price agreed during surveyor visit. Will definatelly recommend to my friends. I am not planning to move at least for 10 years. Nothing was damaged and they even collected boxes after we complted unpacking.

Good job.

My dear brother has passed away. We had to clear his property and put all in storage. My wife contacted this company as we wanted to use local team. They were good and very professional. We gave them all details over the phone as we live in norwich. They quoted us very reasonably as it was enough stuff to move. Men who worked on a day were friendly helped us to pack some loose items, dismantled the furniture wrapped it. They even cleared the furniture we didn't want. It was very easy to work with them. Will definately use them again.

Service cost: £300

London move.

We used company to pack and move our one bedroom flat. We had no furniture just personal contents. We got quote over the phone. Team dropped some boxes few days before that we can start packing. 2 men came on moving day morning 8 am as agreed. Pack all our stuff very fast I would say. I was expecting them to take half day packing but they did it in 2 hours. We were really pleased with the service as we were all done and dusted by 2pm. They even collected boxes after we completed unpacking. Thank you team. Eleanor.

London to Glasgow.

We were very pleased with the service. Our daughter has moved out to Glasgow as she has 1 year contract to work there. We packed all well in advance so just needed man power and little bit help with wrapping TV and large furniture. They also dismantled the queen size bed. We were impressed as they started very early as early as 6 am. They loaded all very efficiently and were in Glasgow 4 pm in the afternoon. Boys were friendly and joked a lot was really nice to have them around.

Removal Service.

Appauling service DO NOT USE, 3 out of 4 crew were good the "FOREMAN" was rude and unhelpfull. The 2 vans were woefully small for the contents of our house. we wre only moving 1 mile down the rd so we presumed they would do several trips WRONG.  they filled the vans and then demanded another £700 for one more trip. we got the price down to £300. they then came back on the final run parked in our drive way ( not required ) as we organised a permit for street parking, which they allready knew.  Broke the manhole cover and wedgeing the back wheel of the overlayden van in the hole!! Eventually having spent well over 2 hours on the phone to "head office" we agreed to pay an outstanding ballance of £35 on the understanding that we unloaded the van ourselves. on unloading the van we noticed damage to several items of furnature due to amaturish "packing". AVOID AVOID at all costs .

Service cost: £745

Avoid The Removals.

Avoid The Removals company! They turned up an hour early at 7am, I was still not up. As it turned out the reason they did this was because they booked 2 removals jobs on the same day with the same team! My flat was cleared by 10am which is way too early to get the keys for my new property so they then demanded £200 for 'waiting time'!! They kept banging on about the other job and then said they would have to leave the stuff on the door step if I was much longer in securing the keys - something of course I could do nothing about. The foreman onsite was both aggressive and surly. When I eventually got the keys you could cut the atmosphere with a knife and I am sure the workers were buming into me on the stairs as we crossed on purpose. The Office Manager then called and asked for a furhther payment to which I refused so when I put the phone down the foreman said he would have to leave to go to the other job. They left my sofa outside the front door!!
They are greedy and duplicitious - DO NOT USE!!

Well done.

We used them last week. This company was recomended to us by my dear friend. We had to remove all our furniture before new tenants arrive. They took great care, covered all furniture with blankets, dismantled the wardrobe, bed. Worked really hard. I even called in office to say thank you. All work finished in 4 hours. They even disposed my chest of drawer and side tables with no extra cost.

Service cost: £412
