We moved on what must have been the worst day for rain in a long time in the Ribble Valley. Undeterred, the guys turned up on time, worked very hard and at speed, and the boss pitched in too, leading by example. I'd wholeheartedly recommend this firm. Many thanks, Ben and Team!

Braithwaite's moved my father from Cleveleys to Sunderland. They arrived promptly and took great care over packing and unpacking. At all times they were courteous and worked non-stop to load and unload the van. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to prospective movers.

We used Braithwaites for a house move from Warton to Kirkham. They arrived at 8am and loaded the vans very professionally done. We paid a set fee which was a lot cheaper than other quotes we had received. The team of three all worked very hard all day, they were all very polite and nothing was too much trouble for them, I would recommend this firm 100% excellent value and very professional. We will definitely use them again.

Absolutely no problem to recommend Braithwaite's and the team that helped move my 90 mother from Knott-end-on-sea to Oxfordshire. They carefully and politely packed a lifetime's collected possessions in to their provided boxes on one day. And arrived on time in Oxfordshire the following day with the same courteous and proficient offloading into her new home. The whole process of estimating, booking, finalising arrangements and moving was efficient, helpful, open and communicative.

We ordered a King size bed from the discount furniture warehouse in Blackpool and Ben and Jay from Braithwaite's delivered the bed. They were so professional and polite. The bed had to go up two flights of stairs and that wasn't a problem to them even though it was a very tight fit at the top. I would absolutely recommend them. Thank you so much.
