The whole team at Bell and sons, including Jade and Rachel were brilliant! They worked hard, efficiently and carefully. From the packing up , loading and unloading all was done with care and a smile, a real pleasure to deal with and we would not hesitate to use them again! Thank you!

Great experience, very friendly, professional and efficient. Came in the morning to clear out the home, packed swiftly all of our delicate ornaments and items carefully into boxes with their packing service. They were very well organised, working methodically across the rooms, so much so that we hardly noticed them around us. Great service, thanks!

This was the first time I had used a removal service and I can thoroughly recommend it. From the beginning Bell and Sons were helpful and informative. There was a last minute change in circumstances which was accommodated for. The packing service was precise and care was taken throughout. It took the stress out of sorting and packing. On the day, my belongings were packed efficiently and carefully. Unfortunately there were delays on my buyers side which were very frustrating for everybody however when I did finally get my keys, everything was placed in my new home with care and consideration

We hadn't moved house for nearly 30 years, so were not looking forward to the whole packing and moving process. But we needn't have worried. Friends recommended Bells and having now used them, we can understand why. This is a family run business so lines of communication are short. This makes speaking to them easy, and not a chore. And there is strong onus on customer service. From the office right through to the actual removal team everything was made as easy and stress free as possible. They were efficient and effective and very professional in the way they handled everything. And....not an egg

Having never moved house before, we approached the whole process with some trepidation. After contacting several firms for quotes, however, we had no hesitation in selecting Bell & Sons. Firstly, the survey of our goods and chattels, was carried out by a personal visit to our home, not by a virtual tour of the rooms. Secondly, when the quotation arrived, it was very detailed and comprehensive. We knew exactly what we were paying for, what they would do and what we were expected to do. They also provided prices of extra services that might be needed.
Rachel and her team were extremely helpful when

The team at Bell and Sons were absolutely amazing. From the initial Virtual Survey, the advice and guidance was so helpful and reassuring. On moving day our stress levels were through the roof. However as soon as the team arrived and they said "Don't worry we'll handle everything". We immediately felt much better and they Did literally handle everything. They were polite, courteous. They were also clean, tidy and very careful. It felt like they went above and beyond to ensure that our move was as smooth as possible. I could not recommend them enough.
