Cooksons moved my furniture from my home into storage this week and I was absolutely delighted with the service. Their charges were very competitive and Chris and his assistants were professional, friendly and efficient. They even went the extra mile when they discovered that my storage unit was not big enough - Chris arranged an alternative unit for me! Excellent customer service. I will definitely book them again when my furniture comes out of storage.

Turned up dead on time which was a very good start, nice clean truck. Efficient, friendly smart staff in uniforms that listened to me and reassured me at a stressful time. My belongings then went into storage for two and a half months but everything came back pristine clean just as I left it. I felt genuinely valued as a client. I am disabled so couldn't go around with them as I would have been in the way but I sat at the entrance and they asked me where exactly I wanted everything. Everything was left where I wanted it and everything was handled with the utmost care. I am so impressed with this company and it will be an easy recommendation to other people, just remember you get what you pay for in this world and this company is definitely first class!!!

After helping us with our house move last year we had no hesitation in using Cookson’s to store a number of items for us. Last week we had the last few remaining items delivered. Christian and his team were absolutely amazing in swapping heavy sofas around and setting up the pool table. Nothing was too much trouble for them and all done with a smile! Thanks once again guys. Would throughly recommend for any move big or small.

Christian and his team moved my elderly parents from a large family home into a 2 bedroom apartment and did an absolutely amazing job. They were friendly, courteous, efficient and incredibly professional. The full packing service was excellent value for money - not a single breakage, which would not have been the case if we'd done it ourselves! I can't recommend this firm highly enough!

I just want to say how impressed we were with this company. They packed up and moved everything in my grandmothers house so efficiently. They were really kind to her and really patient on completion day when we were waiting for everything to be sorted. All the items moved made it to the new house safe and sound. Thanks so much - would highly recommend.

I just want to say thank you for Kristian, Richie and the team for taking care of the move today. Not only did this relationship start a week before moving but Kristian has made every step patiently informative and assisted and guided until the big day. For me the process started 6 months ago and the service off the team has been impeccable. To find people who do this with a smile from start to finish is hard to find always and we all know how difficult a house move is in itself. Thanks guys. Already recommended to many friends and family.

We used Cookson's to move and store our household possessions whilst we were waiting for another house to be available. They were reliable, well priced and the 3 guys that came to do the removal were all extremely friendly and professional from getting the house emptied in less than 50 minutes, having the vans clean and tidy (right down to boxes and protective blankets being all neatly folded and stored) and having a quick look in the vans as they were loading every in all our stuff was well stacked and protected. Brilliant service!
